ALLSPICE.
Berries of the Beautiful and Fra
grant Pimerto Tree.

Berries of the Beautiful and Fra
grant PimeEto Tree.
The pimento, or allspice, tree is cul-
tivated in the West Indies and Jamai-
ca. This beautiful tree usually grows
to a height of about thirty feet 1t
has a straight trunk, much branched
above and covered with a very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary in size
and shape, but are always of a dar1,
shining green color. During the months
of July and August the tree is in full
bloom, the blossoms consisting of very
fragrant small white flowers.
When a new plantation of pimento
trees is to be formed no regular SOW
ing or planting takes place, because it
is next to impossible to propagate the
young plants or to raise them from
seeds in parts of the country where
they are not found growing spontane
ously Usually a piece of land is Sc
lected either close to a plantation al
ready formed or in part of the wood
land where pimento trees are growing
in a native state. The chosen piece Of
land is then cleared of ali wood eX-
cept these trees, and the felled timber
is allowed to remain on the ground for
the purpose Of protecting the very
young pimento plants.
At the end of two years the land is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to ma
turity in about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento
crop is enormous, a single tree often
yielding a hundred or more pounds of
the dried spice. The berries are picked
while green, because if left on the tree
until ripe they lose their pungent taste
and are valueless. The green berries
are exposed to the sun for a week or
ten days, when they lose their green
color and turn reddish brown. When
perfectly dry they are put in bags and
casks for expectation.
The odor and the taste of the pimen-
to berries are thought to resemble a
combination of those of cinnamon, nut
meg and Cloves hence the familiar
name "allspice."

The Aleutfnn islands.

Until the time of Peter the Great the
Aleutian islands were unknown. The

at last revealed those haunts of the

about the islands than did all the Rus

ROBESPIERRE ELKINS.

Declaring that he had been squeezed
out of the coal business and ruined
by S. B. Elkins, after he had risked
every dollar he possessed In COMPETE
ton with an overgrown fortune, A. c..
Fulmar, of West Virginia, furnished
before the interstate commerce COM
mission a typical witness to the results
which follow the entrance of the rail-
roads into the coal business.
Four years ago, Mr.. Fulmar testified
he opened a coal mine on the Morgan
town & Kingwood railroad, first MAX
ing contract with the railroad to fur
nish him a spur track and a sufficient
supply of cars. he agreeing to furnish
$4,000 tons of coal the first year and
100000 tons each year thereafter. The
first year he had no trouble He got
plenty of cars and fulfilled his con-
tract In the fall of the year. how
ever, Mr. Elkins became the proprfe-
tor of the Morgantown & Kingwood
railroad, and his sons opened two
mines in Fulmar's vicinity. Immedi-
ately the latter began to have trouble.
Supplies of cars decreased. In De-
cember, 1902, he got eighty-five cars.
In January. 1908, the first month of the
Elllins regime, he got seventy three;
February, forty three; March, eight;
May fifteen; June. three. In July the
company notified him that it would
furnish no more cars because the spur
track was too dangerous"
Mr.. Fulmar tried lawsuits to get his
rights and finally. after being, as he
said, lied about like a bull with a
ring in its nose" he was induced to
submit the matters to the arbitration
of United States judge, and he was
ordered to sell out to the railroad COM
pany for $4,000. Presumably the
dangerous spur track has been so i'm
proved that there is now no difficulty
in securing cars for the mine from
which Mr.. Fulmar was practically
evicted.

United States senate claims to be a
supporter of the president and who is

INHERITANCE TAXES ABROAD.

England enjoys an immunity from
consideration of the sacred character
Of wealth to which this country has
out of the income Of the people the
respectable sum Of 100000 annual
ly. The empire grades it's income tax
progressively, beginning with one of
exemption. The man who has an in
come of $4,000 annually pays the gov
eminent $62.5O. II he enjoys an income
of $500, he pays SITS, and for all in
comes over that figure the government
tax is 5 per cent. This tax is in adj
dition to anything that he may con-
tribute as a rate-payer.
Besides this, the government obtains
by means of inheritance taxes, called
death duties. about half as much annu-
ally as it obtains from the tax on in
comes.
But it should be observed that the
imposition of income and inheritance
taxes has had no tendency to perma-
nently decrease the size Of great for
tunes. though it has had the curious
effect of decreasing the value of real
estate. This comes about because the
death duties absorb all of the available
cash, leaving the heirs to entailed es-
tates penniless and unable to improve
or use their inheritance. These live
in French pensions while their broad
acres" go to weeds. A few of these
noblemen have been able to recOup
their fortunes with American mar
riages, but many more are reduced to
such state of unhappiness that there
is a strong movement to abolish the
law of entail so that the landed pro-
prietOr may sell off enough land to
enable him to improve and enjoy the
remainder. The death duties become
a double tax upon real property.
But the great fortunes gained in
trade continue to thrive, grow and
spread their influence over the politics
and policy of the country, Indifferent to
both the death duties and the life du-
ties.
