one of the oldest branches of the
government, the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, only gets prominence in the
newspaper when It undertakes the col
lection of some special tax, such as
the income tax or this present
war tax or when some Of the revenue
agents engage in a sensational battle
with "moonshiners" in the mountains
But the bureau has been collecting
from the American public more than
one-third of a billion dollars a year,
and that the business has been ever
expanding may be surmised from the
fact that last year the collections ~

the shoulders Of the men who pay the
war tax the responsibility for keep

must pay and submitting with their
remittance a statement duly sworn,
Indicating just how the sums have been
arrived at.
To show how this will work out
II may be explained that under the law
the ticket agent who sells sleeping car
tickets or steamship tickets must duly
report each such sale in order that
his company may send to Washington
the few cents levied as Federal trib-
ute on each such transaction. But
the payment of these little fees Is tre-
mendously simplified by the circum-

tion, we must admit, that can suddenly
expand its volume Of business &C 2-3
per cent. without moving into larger
quarters or doubling up the office

Tax Collectors Really Work on Com
mission.
The siXty-three collectors OF internal
revenue scattered through the coun-
try receive fixed salaries just as do
almost all other employees Of the gov
ernment but in reality they work on
the commission basis. because their
salaries are made proportionate to
the amount they collect or are expect
ed to collect.
OF course the actual collection Of
internal revenue taxes is actively In
the hands Of deputy collectors. There
are regularly on duty In the various
internal revenue districts into which
the United States is divided a total Of
more than 1900 deputies, and II Is
this force which we may expect TO see
largely increased in order to collect
the war tax. Presumably il will not
be necessary TO increase the field force
OF revenue agents in connection with
the new tax because It is not expected
that any person will attempt to dodge

ever, for some unknown reason re-
fused to recognize the change and the
sultan sent an order to the Turkish
newspapers peremptorily ordering
them to continue to call the city st.

seems to be little objection to humor-
ing this strange whim of the Russians.
Built On A Marsh.
As Russia owns nearly one-sixth OF
the land area OF the world. and its
population is more than one-tenth Of
the population Of the world, its capt.
tai would as a matter of course. be
a remarkable place. 1t is not a beau
uful city, but is a colossal one-its
public buildings far exceeding any
other European country In size and
magniiicence. The city is built on
absolutely fat ground: its site was
a marsh before Peter the Great re-
claimed It, and even today II would
be possible to sink monolith out Of
sight in its grounds. To provide
against such contingencies a forest Of
piles has been driven into the earth

It's huge monollths. Many other houses

Splendid statuary.
Statuary is one OF the city's strong
points, and as n IN keeping with the
other things In the city Il Is out OF
the ordinary. The largest single col
umn OF stone IN the world stands In
front OF the Winter Palace as a mon
ument to Alexander T. IL Is eighty
four feet IN height and weighs about
four hundred TONS II was brought
from Finland on rollers; Il required
several months and the labors Of one
hundred men to bring II TO the capi-
tai. The statue OF Peter the Great,
which stands near the Admiralty, Is
one OF the few successful equestrian
statues in ancient or modern times.
The figure OF the founder Of Petrograd
Is eleven feet high. while that OF the
horse r. seventeen. The horse rears
on his hind legs just on the brink OF
precipice after the fashion OF We

statue Is to show Peter the Great on

Life in Petrograd is different, too. as
there seems 10 be no middle class
everybody Is either very rich or pitia-
bly, poor. The latter must live on tea
and bread with meat perhaps once a
week-while the rich live in the most
extravagant luxury. They are great
travellers In their own country and
always receive their visitors IN their
rooms, consequently one finds the ma
jority OF the rooms en- suite in the best
hotels, and the rooms Of these suitei
are very large.
Vile Summer Climate.
Petrograd's greatest drawback is IN
, summer climate, for the weather dur
, ing July and August Is about as dis
agreeable as possible. For a fe,

ranging from the Three Cent Store"
TO the finest jewelry shops In the
world. The public buildings are ugly
IN architecture but beautiful In in
terror decorations. For instance. the
Winter Palace Of the Car from the
exterior Is merely a mass Of red stone,
but inside IL surpasses Versailles in
its wonderful paintings Of battle
scenes and its Imperial Gallery Of
portraits Of all the sovereigns Of the
reigning Russian House.
This great structure contains several
hundred rooms, many Of which are
rarely opened, although their decora-
tions are worth thousands Of dollars.
IN one of the halls is an ikon said to
have been painted by Saint Luke. The
description attached tells US that Il
was presented to Paul /. when he be-
came Knight of Malta. The right
hand OF John the Baptist is also pre-
served in the Winter Palace.
The Famous Hermitage.
Catherine the Seconds palace, now
known as the Hermitage, Is connected
with the Cars winter home by a gal
lery, and this alone repays one for

more than fifteen hundred paintings

Il Is only necessary, in order TO meet

Speaking Of stamp taxes, however,
Il may be remarked that large share
Of our population breathed easier
when II was announced that, after
due deliberation, the leaders OF the
House OF Representatives had decided
not TO tax bank checks. When the

be small, but the Inconvenience

sumner.
II is a tradition, well founded on

70 note the efforts OF our Congress
IN preparing the present tax to devise

OF the Congressman had misgivings

was unthinkable, and so In an ef.
fort to devise a tax that could moi
well be passed on TO the public there
was hatched the scheme Of taxing pro

concert halls just as Il was proposed
to tax pawnbrokers and tobacco deal
ers and the proprietors Of circuses'
bowling alleys. billiard rooms. etc.

one Of the largest diamonds In Europe

"Orlon' diamond and was originally
the eye Of the lion that crouched be-

Another treasure preserved there Is
