Strike Is Expensive.

London. Aug. 22.-The last general strike of the coal miners cost the trades unions of the men engaged in that industry just $5,000,000, and not. withstanding an increase of 220,0O9 in membership of al trades unions, the grand total of union funds at the be- ginning of this year was over mil lion dollars less than before the strike. In 1912 the last year for which a re. port had been made there were 6Si trades unions in the country with membership of 2,59I772, and f"ul amountin to nearly $3o. 100000 Th3 income of the unions alone amountst to nearly $20000. .000 and they expen3. ed $3,en9.o0 in unemployed benoti, sS,5o0 900 in strilSe pay; $2,5o0,000 h sickness and accident benefit. $2o0, GOO in funeral benefit and $2.500,0G) ip other benefits.

The Heaviest Tax.
Zone

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The small Prussian city of Gorno has lost the distinction of levying the heaviest tax Of any ci- ty in the kingdom, which it possessed since 1911 until last year. The citi- zens there who earned $l00 a month paid $l5.75 monthly as an income tax alone, not including church, real es. tate and business taxes The city Of Suhm now has, according to the reports for 1914. the highest tax of any Prussian city. These amount 10 only ll7 per cent of the sl00 a month mans earnings. The rate of taxation increases progressively, so that the man with $2010 yearly pays $276.i3, a little more than 13 per cent, and a man who has an income of Sl,0Op yearly is taxed $G13.20, nearly 15 per cent Twenty West Prussian cities
 impose a municipal income tax of at least 300 per cent of the state tax The highest municipal tax of the Greater Berlin municipalities is llO per cent, and some of them get along with 100 per cent.

To Guarantee Goods.

London, Aug. 22.-For the benefeit of Americans and others who desire to buy antiques during their visits to London. the authorities of the city of London recently established a depart ment of the Guildhall where purchas- CTS may ascertain whether they have bought genuine or sham articles. A case of sham antiques has been col lected and the intended purchaser af- ter a visit to it should be aole to judge whether articles offered to him 1rs real or otherwise, while those who buy before visiting Guildhai can soon learn whether their objects of art are worth the money they have paid for them.
 Articles in lead or brass appear to occupy the special attention of the aa- tique faker, who Is today something more than highly skilled craftsman,

New Mea Supply.

London Aug 22.-Great Britain will soon have a new source Gi meat sup p.y in South Africa, in addition to that from the United States, Canada, Ar genuine and Australia. 1t will come through the South African Junior, sn organization having the backing of the farmers of that part of the empire. Tin country is able t0 raise from fire to eieht crops of alfalfa per annum, and the area can be enormously in- creased by irrigation. Flooded stock has been imported, and a party of farmers are now visiting England for the study of stock raising, and, in particular, the handling of frozen meat
 The first of the new meat will be shipped to England next February Whether the supply will do more than merely meet the growing British de. mand is problematical At any rate, it Is not expected to influence the mar ket price of meat to any extent for some years.

SWALLOWS HER YOUNG.
Mother Snake Protected Brood of Fourteen When Boys Were
 After Them

From Glenwood. the southern term inal of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad comes a snake story that is submitted without comment, in the following:
 Three boys, ranging in age from ten to fourteen years, killed fourteen rattlCsnakes last Sunday while strol ing along the mountain side near Zcbulon, about seven miles west Of Glenwood
 The boys came upon the snakes in the rocks and one ran into hole between the rocks and another, which proved to be the mother snake, made a peculiar noise when disturbed and opened her mouth whel the thirteen young rattlres ran into her mouth The boys killed tine oid snake and then the young ones were killed easily. The mother snake was very large, but the boys did not take any measurement. Tine young snakes were foot or more i'll length. The boys were considerably excited over this unusual experience.
 The boys were sons of j. 5, Gay and Fletcher Dingler, and cousins The Press is indebted to MT. Gay Tor the above information

Panama, August 22.-A number of arrests have been made recently of persons charged with the smuggling of opium into the Canal Zone where the increasing use of the drug by the canal workers is noticeable.
 The source of the trouble is in the adjoining territory of the Republic ot Panama, where no effort has been made to prevent the importation and saie of the drug. According to the canal authorities, Panama derives an annual revenue of $20,000 from the opium trade, the entire concession Tor which is leased for this sum to Low Lam, a Chinaman.
 While the Chinese on the Isthmus are the principal consumers of the drug, in the last several months the West Indian Negro labOrers on the ca nal have taken to the habit, and 1t is feared that there are some white employees who may become its vic. tims
 Pressure is being brought upon the Panama government to prevent the importation of the drug. As long ago as March, 1912 the Panama Reepublic signed the Hague convention for the suppression of the opium trade and bound itself to prevent the importa- ton into her territory. Since then, however. nothing has been done. In repiy to the protests from the Canal Zone officials and United States Mn ister Pricec, the Panama government points out that the Hague convention did not become binding until all the signatory nations had ratified the agreement.
 Ernesto T. LeFeyre, Minister Of Foreign Relations, declares that just as soon as all the other powers ratify the convention and begin entorcin3 it, Panama will do the same. The contract with the Chnaman, Low Lam provides that he muteease the saale and importation of the drug immedi- ately upon ratification of the conyen- ton.
 In the meantime, and i'll the absence of any assistance from Panama, the Canal authorities are doing their ut- most to keep the drug out of the Cana. Zone.
