BRITISH RICH lAXfD0Ff IHf isis

Are the British rich in immediate
danger of being taxed off the British
isles? This is question that is be-
Ing asked seriously. The British press
day by day echoes the despairing pro-
tests Of the well to do against the rap
idly increasing burdens OF taxation, of
which no man knows the end. The
prediction is freely made by English.
men Of affairs resident of this coun-
try that any substantial increase in
taxation will be followed by an exodus
of the British well to do. and espe.
cially of the British rich from the
British isles. They will seek in this
country or some other a haven where
the idea Of taking away the property
of those who have it to give it to
those who have none does not obtain.
The Englishman pays tax when he
inherits property.
He pays an income tax on his rent
ais and on his salary.
He pays a tax on his automobile.
He pays tax on all stock exchange
transactions.
He pays tax on all his land and
on all increase in land values.
He pays, in addition to the rent of

WHEN MEN WORE sHAw1s.

Some 40 Years Ago They Took the
Place of Overcoats.
On very rare occasions you now see
some old lady wearing a shawl, but
generally speaking. this once universal
garment has become obsolete.
Those children that are, say 40 years
old or more, can probably remember
when even men wore shawls instead
Of overcoats. For about ten years
they were considered just the thing.
This was the decade beginning with
about 1860. President Lincoln was
very partial to his big Scotch shawl,
which, according to the vogue, he
wore. not folded diagonally in femi-
nine fashion, but folded lengthwise.
This folded shawl was passed
over the shoulders and, around the
front. where it was either held by the
hands or pinned by a huge shawl pin.
This case of the shawl is about the
only one where the men have appro-
priated an article of wear from the
women's wardrobe-though the in
stances where the reverse has happen.
ed are legion.
Even then, the shawl was originally
not a woman's garment exclusively,
for the Scotch Highlander has his tar
tan plaid, and the men of northern
Italy still wear cloak which Is very
little more than shawl. There can
be no question that the shawl is more
useful and more picturesque as an ar
ticle of attire than the close fitting
coats both men and women now wear.
The shawl could in case of emergency
be used to protect two persons, or to
wrap child in. or as an extra bed
covering; Its fashion did not change
every three months. and it could be
used and passed down in the family
until 1t was worn out.
Nowadays the only time when such
articles are used Is when people are
making an ocean trip or travelling IN
Europe. Travelling rugs" which are
nothing more nor less than mems
heavy shawls, are extremely English:
and for travellers they are considered
very proper and desirable-but outside
of steamer. train or carriage no one
who cares for what people will saw

Perhaps the greatest burdens
which the land owner is subject to
are on account of the poorhouses,
which are maintained at great ex-
pense, and on account of the new pol
Icy of old age pensions; that is, PEN
sloning any one over a certain age
who hasn't an income of $3.50 week.
The great question that is being con.
sidered in England apparently is not
what to do with the unemployed, but
with the unemployable. The people
who have saved money and have made
the most of their opportunities appar-

NATIONAL PARKS.
The Yellowstone no Large 1t Has
Not Yet Been Fuuy ExpIored

The Yellowstone no Large 1t Has
Not Yet Been Fully Explored.
While several of the great cities of
the United States are disputing for
the honor of possessing the largest or
most beautiful park, 1t must not be
forgotten that they all pale into in
Significance before the national parks
which the government has put aside
for public use.
In 1872 Congress located tine Yellow.
stone Park, which is so large that 1t
has not yet been fully explored. 1t is
situated at the source of the Yellow
stone river, and embraces an area of
s. miles long by So miles broad. and
includes the lake from which the river
rises, a sheet of water 7,TSS feet above
the level of the sea. and the Grand
Canyon, an abyss of 5000 feet in per.
pendicular height. The other wonders
are so many that no complete descrip-
ton of the region has ever been at
tempted.
This park is so wonderful and ex.
tensive as to be unrivaled, although
there are three other national parks
which are certainly worthy of notice.
They are all situated in California and
were only recently located so that
they are but little known.
The largest is the Yosemite Park. 1t
contains $4,000 acres, exclusive of
the Yosemite grant to the state of
California, which is situated in the
middle Of the park. The park is prin.
cipally in Tuolumne and Marinosa
counties with small section In Mono
and Fresno counties.
Next comes the Sequoia National
Park, lying wholly in Tulare county,
and containing 161,2SO acres. This
includes the giant trees of which we
hear so much. and the maintenance
and preservation of which is sought
by the reservation. o late years
there has been great destruction of
these magnificent trees, and 1t is quite
certain they could never be replaced,
II once destroyed.
The smallest of the new national
parks is the Gen. Grant Park of $500
acres. lying partly in Fresno and part.
ly in Tulare county, but 1t contains
a number of natural curiosities worthy
of preservation.
