Pay Their Share of Taxes.

To say that the British nobility is
exempt from taxation is to give ut.
teraIce to an absurdity. The mobiles
pay taxes just like other people in
England-that is II they have any
thing that Is worth taxing. There are
titled Englishmen, we are informed,
who enjoy nothing more tangible than
their titles. Sooner or later they
drift to America in quest of a girl
with a million or two who is willing
to swap her fortune for the gilded
title. SO. r.
Harking back to the days of feudal.
ism, 1t will be found that the mobiles
were champion tax-dodgers. They
graciously permitted the common peo-
pie to pay all the cost of government,
but the nobility of to-day has to pay
its share by way of taxes. not the least
considerable part being the tax on in.

Life tells Of an old fellow, a member
Of whist club in Brooklyn, who en-
ioyed the reputation of being a great
crank. His animadVersions against his
partners were so severe that It was
rare indeed that he could get anyone
TO play with hin.
One night, however, a man happened
In from the west and the avoided one
promptly assailed him with a request
to sit in" The western man was
ABOUT to comply when he was taken
aside by one of the members of the
club who told him the reputation Of the
crank.

Snakes In Austria.

Snakes are common enough in many
Oriental countries; few persons are
perhaps aware that they are very nu.
merous in Austria, and that the gov.
eminent offers a reward for every
snake killed. In 1908 no less than
273,000 snakes were destroyed, OF
which all but 1000 belonged to ven.
omous species. To aid the rural In.
habitants IN their warfare, the govern.
ment authorities have supplied sim.
pie appliance whereby, In the case OF
a bite. the possibility OF fatal result
is reduced to the minimum. This in.
strument comprises a small knife
wherewith the wound OF bite Is i'm.
mediately enlarged. and in the cut
thus formed a concentrated solution
of permanganate OF potassium il In.
jected. That such a precaution is val.
uable is borne out by the fact that out
OF the 40 cases Of snake bites re.
ported In 1908 only six proved fatal.
