TAX ON WHISPERS.
When Engiishmen Paid for Their
Boards and Their Babies.

Now that we are all crying out
about our heavy taxation found it in
teresting lately to come across some
old documents relating to taxes of
former times and reigns. Allowing
for the difference in the value Of
money from one period to another,
those ancients levies seem to have
been pretty heavy and extremely
varied
Our men folk may be thankful that
they have not now, as in the days of
the eighth Henry, to pay tax for the
privilege of wearing a beard, tax
that was moreover a graduated one,
the sliding scale being regulated ac-
cording to the status Of the wearer.
A certain Sheriff at Canterbury, for
example, had to pay three shillings
and fourpence for his whiskers. He
would not have won much sympathy
from Mr.. Frank Richardson. Queen
Elizabeth, with even more stringent
notions on this subject fixed SINH
lar tax on every beard of over two
weeks growth.
At later period it WAS decided to
place tax on the birth Of every child
in England, and a sliding scale was
also employed here. The baby of q
Duke born in the year 1895 cost its
proud father ESQ, while or the in
fant of a commoner the tax was but
two shillings.
Widowers and bachelors who had
decided to retain the joys of single
blessedness were compelled to con-
tribute to the State, and long before
the Harcourt death duties were
dreamed of it was also quite costly
matter to die.
Nearer our own day the window
tax was invented by William Pitt, and
in the reign of George l. it was neces-
sary to have a license to sell hats,
and there was also a tax on hair pow
der, watches and clocks.-English

aiuinn Him Carte Blanche.

A few years ago John Kendrick
Bangs, the humorist, told number of
his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had just received from Henry
w. Savage, the theatrical producer,
for the libretto of musical comedy.
The play was produced a few months
later. Dusing the long period of re-
hearsals so much of Bangs material
was eliminated and so much other ma
terial inserted in its stead that when
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half a dozen of the
original lines remained
About a week later a friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him if he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
yes" replied Bangs, "Only an
hour ago l sent him 500 blank sheets
Of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked."-Irvin Cobb in New York
Tribune.

Reiqn of the Dandies.

In the matter of dress we have fallen
upon decline since the days when the
Duke of Wellington was refused ad-
mission to Almack's because he was
wearing trousers instead of breeches
and silk stockings. Even Almack's,
however, had to admit trousers within
its closely guarded portals the following
year. When Gladstone was ''up" at
Oxford the reign of the dandies was in
full swing. When late in life he re-
visited the university to lecture to the
undergraduates on Homer he was
asked by G. w. e. Russell whether he
noticed any difference between his au-
dience and the men of his own time.
YES" he replied, sin their dress an
enormous change. 1 am told that l
had among my audience some of the
most highly connected and richest men
in the university, and there wasn't one
whom l couldn't have dressed from
top to toe for f5."-St. James Gazette.

oddast of Queer Fishes.

A queer fish that does not swim is
the ''sargasso fish," known to sailors
as the "frogfish." 1t lives in that vast
mass of floating gulfweed called the
Sargasso sea, in mid-Atlantic.
Its pectoral fins are so modified and
developed as to resemble arms, and it
uses them for clinging to the weed.
Very gaudily colored, it changes its
hues to match the aquatic vegetation
by which it is surrounded, and when
the latter decays and turns brown ii
assumes a corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in a jelly-like
mass, which, absorbing a great quan.
tity of water, becomes three times as
big as the mother fish herself assum'
ing the form of a narrow raft three or
four feet long and two to four inches
wide.-New York World.

In an account Of tn, week Of the
sailing ship Carnurvon Day on King
island, Australia, 1t is related that
when the vessel struck the captain
calmly took n cigar from his pocket
bit the end off and lit it before order
ing the boats to be launched. Even
this display of lack of fear did not on
tirely prevent some degree of panic
among the men, however, and seven
men pushed off in the port lifeboat
leaving twenty-five to scramble into
the starboard boat. In spite of the
captains orders the men in the port
boat refused to come alongside, and
those in the starboard boat shouted
that if they did not put off the masts
would fall on them. Instead of hurry
ing to the boat the captain strolled to
his cabin and collected his papers.
After he had entered the boat he
transferred five men to the port boat
and made for Tasmania, 100 miles
away. He and the mates steered in
turn, while the men bailed with empty
biscuit tins, and forty-eight hours later
both boats reached land.-Chicago

An Eccentric Bishop.

Bishop Wilson Of Calcutta had as
housekeeper a venerable lady who re,
membered the duel between Sir Philip
Francis and Warren Hastings on Aug
II, 1880. On entering the cathedral on
a Sunday morning, fully robed, lawn
sleeves and all, and passing the pew
where the old lady sat he would pause
and give her the kiss of peace" before
all the congregation, and this although
he had met her at breakfast
His sermons, too, were racy. Preach
ing against dishonesty, especially in
horseflesh, as one of the great English
failings in India, he went on, "Nor are
we, servants of the altar, free from
yielding to this temptation" Pointing
to the occupant of the reading desk be-
low him: "There is my dear and ven.
cradle brother, the archdeacon, down
there. He is an instance of it. He
once sold me a horse. 1t was unsound

Atlas and His Load,

Strictly speaking. atlas" is mia
homer for q map book, since II was
not the world, but the heavens. that
the atlas OF mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. of Germany, was the first to us9
the name in this connection, choosing
1t as a convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with a world upon his
shoulders as a frontispiece of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into a mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with a heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for SO great weight.
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for a book OF
maps which upholds and exhibits tc
us the whole world.

Oddities of Cecil Rhodes.

He possessed few intimate friends,
and not even to all of them did he dis
close his hand. Mere acquaintances
disliked his moody silences, varied
with fits of rather boisterous fun.
They considered him exclusive, mo-
rose, rough and overbearing. And it
must be admitted that he was good
hater, violent when thwarted and at
times blunt to the point of rudeness.
1t is difficult to be sufficiently uncon-
ventional to shock a mining camp, but
he shocked it. In dress he was almost
disreputable. He seldom took pains to
ingratiate himself with any one and
a man who too openly scorns his fel-
lows must expect to suffer social os-
tracism and to have his character ira
duced. 1t would be idle to deny that
for time there were unfavorable ru.
mors in circulation regarding him or
that he was in many circles unpop-
ular. But, like Gallo, he "cared for
none of those things."-Sir Lewis Mich,

The Danish farmers, living as they
do on or near the seacoast, are great
exporters of dairy stuff. England is
so big a customer that the Danes in
fun reproach their nelghbors with
eating up their butter, and leaving
them only oleomargarin. Yet" says
Mr.. F. NJ. Butlin in Among the
Danes," they are not all of that way
of thinking, for one old farmer asked
us if we could not persuade our fell
low countrymen to eat butter with
their cake.
"If you ask how the Danish farm
ers manage to keep pace with our
(the British) increasing appetite for
Danish eggs, butter and bacon, the
answer is, they cooperate. The but
ter which is exported is made in
their cooperative dairies. The pigs
are slain in their cooperative slaugh-
ter-houses, and the Danes are not a
little proud of the process. One dis
tinguished traveller complains that
during his stay in Denmark he was
always being asked to come and see
a pig killed.
The eggs are exported by CO.
operative societies. If a Dane has
only one egg he can export it-al
ways provided it be a good egg. Nc
mistake must be made about that
Before the eggs are packed for ex
port, down in the cooperative fac
tory on the shore, they are held over
basin filled with electric light, when
all defects can be detected with the
naked eye. 1t is no use for an old
egg to pose as a young one then. Each
egg is marked with the owners mum
Der and the number of his district;
the owners of bad eggs are fined. Nc
less than eighteen thousand Danes
belong to this one society. Here, too
butter is packed for the English mar
ket."

Arrival of Twins.

The First AutomobiIist.

Nicholas Joseph Cugnot was the first
Rutomobllist. Many years before Ste
phenson had introduced his railway
locomotive Cugnot, who was a mill
tary engineer, had made locomotive
for roads. His locomotive has been
piously preserved at the COnservatoire
des Arts ct Meters. Cugnot died in
1904. His lot was not that of many
geniuses. He did not die in want. Ma
poleon had secured him pension of
1000 francs-passing rich on 5000 a
year. In this respect the premier con.
sui showed more enlightenment than
he did in regard to Fulton of steamboat
fame, whom he considerable is dis
tressing to write-an adventurer. Cug'
nots carriage was built to transport
arms and he had designed a service
gun. These achievements alone would
be a passport to Napoleon's favor

There is a quaint old shop in London
which still bears the name of Samuel
Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup
in the English capital. Amid all the
changes of the city Birch's shop in
Cornhill survives in the guise it wore
when its owner was lord mayor Of
London in the memorable year of Wa.
terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc-
tion in many fields. He was an orator
and a patriot; he was colonel Of the
city militia and accepted with great
good nature his nickname Of Marshal
Tureen; he was q man Of letters, pro-
duced plays that held the stage and
books that were readable, though now
seldom read. One of his plays, "The
Adopted Child" was popular long aft
er its author had killed his last turtle.
His daughter married Lamartine, and
one of his sons, a fine classical scholar,
begat family of scholars. Yet Birch's
claim to fame rests most upon the
fact that he was the man who made
turtle soup popular. City merchants,
templars from the inns and dandies
from the west end all focked to Corn
hill, the turtle house of all London

The BurqIar's Prayer.

Sir Herbert Risley, speaking of the
castles of eastern Bengal at a meeting
Of the Royal AnthrOpological institute,
said a curious system of religious wor-
ship prevailed among a caste who were
professional burglars. They made a

cut his arm and prayed to one of the

night and that he might succeed in OBJ
