Chinese Taxes,

The Chinese government, while II
collects part of its revenue from
customs, relies largely upon the prov
inces to supply revenue, and arbi-
trarily names each year the sum
which each province must supply,
leaving to the officers Of that province
the methods by which this is OBJ
tanned. The consequence is that each
province is permitted to collect tax
on goods entering II from adjacent
provinces and this custom has been
extended to the subdivision of the
provinces, so that goods In transit are
frequently compelled to pay taxes
every few miles. AS consequence,
the interior taxes, known as "likin"
become not only the terror of i'm
porters, but sometimes almost pro-
hibitory.

formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence of the giraffe, new
specimen of which had just been
added to the Jardin des Plantes. The
earliest specimen of these gentle crea-

of Louis XVI. We learn from French
contemporary that the giraffe was

of the Hottentots and Kaffirs. When
the explorer referred TO the animals
with the long necks he was looked
upon as a Munchausen and told that
he was such in not the politest lam
guage. II was only when some living
specimens arrived in the French cap

veracity was re-established, and then
the animals for a long time formed
