a Mr.. Donaldson WHO owned q
sugar refinery in nslaud, went
TO England one year aDd bought some
machinery for PAS business. He took
the machine 70 piece and took it
home in parts. carefully packed, in
tending to ptr them together on the
spot.
An Australian custom house official
gave him q lot of trouble on his ar
rival, examining every part, and argu-
Ing about the amount 10 be paid At
last they came to an agreement about
all but one box, which contained the
metal nuts used in boiling the parts OF
the machinery together. About what
was to be charged for these the ofh-
cial had no doubt at all.
Now as to these" he said, "the
duty viii be twopence r pound" Mr..
Donaldson protested that this was too
high. Not a bit of it," was the con-
fldent reply; the schedule says dis
tinctly that all nuts except coker-
nuts are to pay tvopence a pound.
These aren't coker-nuts, so twopence
a pound youll have to pay"

1T is we'll enough to welcome the

regulating the discharge of firearms,
nut II was totally disregarded, as
the discharge of firearms is reported

this violation Of tho ordinances. II
is therefore only reasonable to expect
a repetition of the shooting on next

the degree of the unwashed indivld-

that OF the person who commits any
of tho cardinal sins. If there were
nothing to recommend bathing as a
health measure, or as a harmless III
diligence conducive to the JOY of liv-
ing insofar as the aesthetic are con-
cerned, the mere fact that the I'M
washed are unloyely in the sight of
the normal neighbors, and otherwise
offensive, would constitute an ample
reason for the being of the tub.
