stretching out in the open until the sun
is well up and then retiring to the
nearest available cover. In an undis-

lions sauntering leisurely across the open

its neck I have never seen this done,
but the process has been well observed
and many hundreds of lion kills / have
taken the pains to inspect, the majority

Taxing Bachelors.

One Of the smallest of the German
principalities is undertaking a very
big experiment n financial legislation.
The diet Of the elder of the two prin-
cipalities of Reuss, which lie in cen
trail Germany, to the southeast of the
Thuringian states, carried recently a
resolution in favor of increasing the
state income tax by per cent. Of the
tax on incomes between ESQ and
$500, and by 10 per cent. of the tax
on incomes exceeding $500 year in
the case Of unmarried persons of eth
er sex who have reached their thir-
tieth year. The diet consists of twelve
members, and the resolution was car
ried by seven votes against five. The
super-taxatlon of bachelors has often
been proposed in other German states,
and was jocularly referred to as a pos
sible form of imperial taxation by the
Emperor William.

FORTUNE IN RARE COINS
Fat Picking for WatchfuI Cashiers In
Stores, Bartenders and Street
Car Conductors.

Cashiers In stores and restaurants,
ticket agents at theaters and railroad
stations, bartenders and conductors
on cars are in a fair position to be-
come collectors of rare coins, as they
handle every kind Of money piece
from foreign coins to old-time money
of the United States. A saloonkeeper
In Harlem declares he has made a
small fortune during the last few
years by saving the rare coins that
are taken over the bar.
II have a tin box filed with rare
United States pieces" he related,
"and / could have a collection of for
eign coins II SO desired. You would
be surprised to see how anxious some
men are to get drink at the expense
OF spending rare old coin for its
face value. Silver and paper currency
that pay a good premium are given to
my bartenders for face value. 1 have
often noticed a reluctance on the part
OF the holder before parting with the
coin. He will give a last look at the
money and then place It on the bar
for the refreshing beverage. One man
told me that coin had been In the
the family for nearly a century. He
wanted only one drink and was afraid
would not take the coin because of
its age. / gave him the drink and
change for the piece at its face value.
md he was overjoyed."
