Duty Of Magazines.

Australia has placed a heavy duty
on all magazines containing adver.
tising matter in a proportion of more
than one-fifth of the general con.
tents. Mutilated magazines are one
OF the first results of the new tariff.
Subscribers to many popular month.
lies are writing to the Melbourne pap
ers. Indignantly complaining of the
condition In which the last numbers
reached them. Nearly all of the ad
,,r sing pages were torn out by rude
force. This was done by the agents
With the permission of the Minister
OF Customs, who has granted the pub
fishers four months grace to make
fresh arrangements. The Melbourne
manager OF one well-known magazine
says that II has hitherto been sold
in Australia at II cents, but IL this
provision in the new tariff Is passed
the price in future cannot be lesa
than 80 cents.

CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE.
Germany's Way Of Skiing People Up
Available Chiefly to Doctors.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody has
been making study of the organ OF
speech and has discovered that 1t 10
full of indications.
A long tongue is said to denote
openness of character. 1t suggests
generosity and free handedness. Its
possessor makes friends and enemies
easily but doesn't save money.
When the tongue Is long and thick
the openness degsnerates inio a ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The fu-
ture OF the owner is beset with trou-
bles OF his own making. 1t also indl-
Gates fiightiness and Inconsistency.
Short tongues indicate secretiveness
and dissimulation. Their owners
make good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile but has not
largeness Of spirit to make a great
fortune, Thin pointed tongues are
found In difident people who do not
succeed In life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood; the person VINO
has such a tongue is compelled by It
to deceive and betray, whatever effort
he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant quavering tongue de-
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is a sign of long
life, pale pink tongue denotes weak
ness OF character and delicacy Of con-
stitution.
III it's all true" says a German
newspaper, lit is lucky that II is only
at the doctor and not at our friends
that we stick out our tongues"

CENSUS OF PARIS TREE!
Approximately $1,000, the Rnr
Chestnut the CommOncst.

In the course of its annual stoc'
taking the Paris municipality ha.
gone the length of making a censas
of all the trees which the city owns
and cares for. The total number Is
approximately $1,000, or roughly one
tree to every thirty-two inhabitants,
not enough to satisfy garden city
enthusiast, but ample to provide all
honest Republicans with plenty of
the cheap yet artistic badge which
Camille Desmoulins made popular,
The horse chustnut is the common
est tree planted by the municipal .ty;
after 1t comes the plane tree, follow
ed by the Judas tree. In some of
the more distant and secluded aven-
ues lines and acacias are found, but
variety must not be sought outside
the gardens and parks, which belong
to the State. There one may find
almost every tree that may be grown
In the Paris climate.
The municipality also excludes the
trees growing in its own parks-the
Pare Monceau. the Buttes Chaumont,
the Pare Montrouge--from this cen
sus. The area of these parks and
other public squares is about l,50O,-
600 square yards, and about half OF

Trains-Siberian Railway.

The train on the Trans Siberian
railway are in general comfortable
and sufficiently we'll kept. The food
is quite sufficient The speed is very
slow, however. and the stops at sta
tons long and tedious. In general,
it is better for foreigner not familiar
with the Russian language to travel
by the International trains, because
the employees thereon in all cases
speak either French, German or En-
glish in addition to Russian and the
toilet arrangements on International
trains are much superior to those on

The Red Denth.

1t will ne remembered that Edgar
Allen Poe, in his "Masque of the
Red DEATH" described a plague, the
main symptom of which was bleed
ing from the pores OF the body.
In Central America the Rel Death
is personliiCd in the Blood Snake. or,
as the Spanlards call It, Vivora San
gre This snake is of red d-tinged
black m the back, while underneath
II is ot bright vermilion. Its
deadly work is easily recognizable in
the condition of the victim. An In
dian cattleman, finding COW bleed
ing at the nose, eyes. and ears, and
perspiring blood at every pore does
not hesitate to blame II on Viyora
Sangre. Unfortunately, the effect
upon the human being is the same,
and our Indian friend quite realizes
II when he lights cheroot, gathers
his blanket around him, and stoically
sits down to await the meeting with
his forefathers.

President Diaz Of Mexico.

President Diaz OF Mexico, who is
past II, literally takes upon himself a
very extensive portion of the admin
istrative work OF his Government. He
is an early riser, and his day is sys-
tematically arranged. Few public
men are more kindly and agreeable
in private life than the President OF
Mexico, and he has behind an nab
itual gravity of manner very Keen
sense of humor. He never frets or
worries over petty matters, and Is
always calm and in perfect mental
poise in times of crisis and emergen-
cy.

Lest We FORGET.

In the good old kaffir corn days OF
Blaine county, when Uncle John Dill
Ion, the Geary banker, and County
Clerk Tyler hauled cedar posts to
I'll Reno and Oklahoma City and sold
them to buy bread for their families,
they would go to hear a good old
preacher, who was post hauler with
them, This good old brother in ais
prayers would thank God for his
goodness to them, and one season,
when he was especially thankful for
4 good crop raised, but not forgetful
OF the past, he said: Dear Lord,
lest in days to come we forget. we
thank Thee, o God, for the cedar in
the canons."
