Taxing Death.

They have queer ways Oh DONG
things In Mexico, as most observers
are aware by this time, but the fact
that they virtually impose a tax on
death is perhaps not generally known
To illustrate, young American was
drowned in the Rio Grande, and his
body drifted down thee river, lodging
finally on the Mexican side, When the
relatives came to claim the body they
were received with the utmost couf
tesy, but were somewhat amazed whel
informed that the remains could moi
be sent out of the country except upon
the payment of a tax Of $12o that be

serts the New York Mail, Is this: Don
die In Mexico.

Fishing at Biarritz.

In the neighborhood of Biarritz in
southwestern France an original meth
cd Of taking fish from the sea has been
invented by the inhabitants along
shore. Two poles forty or fifty feet
tall and placed eight or nine yards
apart are erected on the beach.
By means of pulleys continuous
line running over the tops of the poles
and attached also to the top of an
other pole placed 500 yards out in the
sea can be alternately drawn either
Shoreward or seward.
Short lines with hooks and bait
hang from the main line, and when
they are loaded with fish the fisher
man, sitting by his little cabin on
shore, draws in his take" rebaits his
hooks and by pulling in the opposite
direction replaces the row of baited
lines in the sea. This apparatus is
called wa ct Went" or ego and

The President Laughed.

President Taft, who has difficulty in
keeping his weight down to 300 pounds,
often cracks joke or gets off a wit
ticism about his size. One afternoon,
as he was leaving the White House to
take horseback ride, he met a group
or newspaper correspondents, and
among them was Matthew Tighe, an
old friend.
After greetings had been exchanged,
Mr.. Taft looked down at his legs en-
cased in leggings which emphasized
the girth of the limbs. He struck his
left leg a resounding blow with his
riding-crop, and, turning to Tighe,
asked with a smile:
What do you think of that, Matt ?"
THAT" said Tighe, grinning, would
do credit to any piano ever manufac-
tured."
And the loudest laugh about it came
from the sident.-Lippincott' Mag

BIG WAR CRAFT LAUNCHED
Boast Is Made That Britain's Gen.
turion Is the Best Armored
Vessel AfIoat.

London.-Great Britain's twenty
first battleship of the dreadnaught
type, the Centurion, was launched at
Davenport. The assertion is made
that the newest addition to the navy
is the best armored ship af1oat.
Mrs. Churchill, wife of the new
first lord of the admiralty, christened
the vessel.
The Centurion is a sister ship OF
the King George v, and has a dis
placement of $4,000 tons. The length
is 555 feet, beam SO feet and draught
271s feet, while her engines are ex-
pected to develop $1,000 horse power.
A remarkable feature is the extra
ordinary number Of water-tight COM
partments, scores Of which are intend
ed to render the vessel unsuitable,
even if a section below the water lins
is penetrated by torpedo.
