THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE LINES

Customs receipts and internal reve-
nue. taxation furnish the bulk OF the
governments income; but the govern
ment profits by a snug sum from the
sources that grow out of sovereignty.
usually on the "penny saved, penny
earned" principle. For example. about
three million dollars of small change is
absorbed in the channels of trade each
year. During periods of great prosper
ity the annual increase has run as high
as five million dollars.
Buying for so cents a pound blanks
that will make ninety nickel scent
pieces is profitable bushes. The gain.
technically called seignorage. is hardly
less on 1-cent pieces. The silver In the
uuarter-dollar would not now cost more
than 10 cents, although 1t was some
what higher when the stock now being
minted was purchased.
The treasury is the gamer from the
destruction of paper money not re-
deemed. 1t also derives a return from
patents, in the form of fees that pat
entees pay for the privilege of monop-
oiizing their inventions. and thus in
slight degree shares their profits 9th
er returns of this sort might be emu
merated: but the receipts growing out
OF sovereignty are limited in scope and
are. after all, merely indirect forms or
taxation.

three feet apart, and twelve inches be-
tween plants, there are about 11,000
plants an acre. and an average yield
a plant is three ounces. The plants
are first germinated in beds and trans
planted. One pound of seed will pro-
duce enough plants for fifty acres.
In the accompanying Illustrations
are shown photos taken on the Turk
ish-American plantation, and to those
unfamiliar with Turkish tobacco we
state that the leaves are not long and
narrow, but nearly of equal breadth
and length.
From present indications it can be
safely estimated that there will be
more than 1000 acres in Southern Cali
fornia under Turkish tobacco cultiva-
ton next season.

HE WAS NOT MEAN

At a railway station in certain Ala
hama town, according to Harper 5
Weekly. a number of passengers who
were waiting for a train distributed
themselves on the platform, their feet
hanging over Presently there came
along a native. a sour-faced individual,
with a rope In his hand. 1t subse-
ouentlv appeared that he was looking
for a stray mule.
He came out of the bush opposite the
station and stood for some time lookir g
up and down the tracks. Then he ol-
rected his gaze to the group of waiting
passengers on the platform with their
feet hanging over. He regarded them
listlessly for quite while, then sud
denly called out:
"Hey, there! You-all''
What is it?" demanded some one,
startled by the cry.
"H'ist your feet!"
This Injunction to "h'ist" was COM
piled with by all with alacrity, for as
they looked down over the platform
they perceived a big rattlesnake just
coiling for a strike.
A handy grindstone was dropped on
the reptile and one of the men thank
ed the native for his timely warning.
He smiled grimly. "I don't s'pose l
deserve much thanks" he said, but
some men who had lost a mule an
been hunting for 1t for three days
would have been kinder onery bout
that snake. However, gents, there
isn't anything mean about mel"
