CHOICE MISCELLANY
Rough on the Tax Officials.

The difficulty of collecting rates in a
number of islands off the coast of
Donegal, Ireland. was discussed at a
recent meeting of the Donegal county
council. It was stated that rates had
not been paid in Tory island for the
last twenty years and that within the
past few years the islanders of Cole,
lnisherer, Inishmair, Inishboffin and
others had followed the example of
their Tory brethren and developed a
conscientious objection to rate col
lectors. 1t was impossible to get boat
men to take out collectors to serve de-
mand rates or make collections, and
even summons servers who had sum
mOnses for the islanders were refused
a passage. On one occasion the col
lector engaged a boat and succeeded
in reaching the first island before his
mission was discovered The boatman
then refused to take him back to the
mainland, and it was only after much
promising and pleading that he was al
lowed to re-enter the boat. A coun-
Gilman said that, short of catching the
islanders when they came to the main
land and stripping their clothes Off
them, he did not see how they were to

OK and Steam Power.

The comparative cost of the modern
locomotive and the motive power of
the modest OK carts Of the rural dis

some days ago between government

"that beef at the present price is

New Coffee Service.

The most fascinating way of serv-
ing after dinner coffee is one that I
saw for the first time while dining
with a bachelor girl the other night.
Much of her time is spent abroad, and
she is constantly picking up queer
pieces of china and pottery and all
sorts of funny little foreign Access
series to the dinner and tea table, and
this was her latest acquisition.
1t really consists of little individual
drip coffee pots, In which is made the
most delicious coffee imaginable. The
coffee cups are not cups at all. They
are glasses, and they are in little
nickel stands that make them look
like miniature ice cream soda glasses.
Fitting on the top of each glass is a
nickel cup, with a removable cover
and perforated bottom, and inside Of
this cup is tiny hair sieve.
Enough finely ground coffee for one
cup is put into this receptacle, it is
filed with boiling water, the cover is
put on and the whole thing placed
over the glass, and the coffee makes
itself without any further trouble on
the part Of any one.
If sugar is taken lump is put into
the glass before the coffee begins to
drip through, so that by the time the
coffee is made 1t is thoroughly dissolv-
ed and needs no stirring. To complete
this attractive outfit there is a tiny
nickel tray no larger than an ordinary
butter plate, into which the nickel cup
Is set when it is taken off the glass.
