No Tax on Pianos.

The vigorous protests made In
France against the proposal to levy a
tax upon all owners of pianos in that
country have had the desired result,
and for the present no further attempt
will be made to carry the suggestion
into effect.
The plan, as the London Telegraph
recalls, was to make every possessor
OF small piano pay the equivalent
of two dollars year, and the owners
of grand were to dlsburse double
that amount. 1t was estimated that
the revenue from the proposed tax
would enrich the Golfers of the state
to the tune of $1000.00O Many collec.
items of other instruments have been
known to produce a worse tune.

An opinion depicting the danger OF
loss to those who take out wagering
policies of life insurance on persons
in whom they have no insurable in
terest was delivered by President
Judge Sulzberger at Philadelphia in
the case of Thomas j. Wrinkle, ad-
ministrator of the estate of Mary r..
Wrinkle, his dead wife, against the
Philadelphia Life Insurance Com
pany and William p. Walsh, the dead
woman's uncle.
Winkle sued TO recover $4,000,
representing the proceeds OF two poll
Cies of insurance paid by the COM
pany after the death of Mrs. Wrinkle,
on April %, 1907. The Court held
that while these policies were taken
out by Walsh, he had no insurable
interest on the life OF his niece from
either ties of blood or marriage or
Indebtedness, and the Court there
fore decided that the administrator
of the estate was entitled TO the fund
The uncle negotiated the policies
in a plan TO obtain stock OF the COM
pany. The insured was a young
woman, who lived less than vear
after her marriage to Wrinkle on '"f
>, 1895.
