BERLIN, Jan. 2i.--Leprosy, one of the few diseases heretofore still con. sidered incurable. is being healed at a government sanatorium near Me. mel. according to a report Of the in. stitution. Two women patients have already been discharged as cured. and one man was discharged as i'm proved. Since leprosy is contagious, it is assumed that the improvement in this case was very great. else the patient would not have been allowed his liberty. The method used in treating the disease Is not described.
 The Memel institution has existed for some years It was founded pri- mafily to deal with cases of leprosy brought into East Prussia each year by wandering laborers from the east. All lepers found in Germany are now sent there for treatment.
 A cure for leprosy is of especial in. terest for Germany. since her African colonies are plagued with it.
 The action Of the authorities in canon of Ticino. Switzerland in de- cidlng to tax musical instruments has served to bring to light many peculiar sources of taxation in ermany.
 The city of Spandou, near Berlin ta les naby carriages forty cents apiece in consideration of which the babies guardians are permitted to wheel their carriages along the side walk. The tax brings in about $500 a year
 Potsdam still carries formally on it's assessment rolls a tax on caged nightingales. although there has been no such bird in captivity in the city for many years. The tax owes It's origin to King Frederick William IV.. who lamented the gradual disappear ance of nightingales from his garden and disliked to see the birds con fined. The tax was sl.5O a bird, and a nominal nightingale revenue Of that amount is still credited in each years municipal budget
 Tourists are taxable by the city Of weimar. made famous by Goethe. Every stranger is taxed 2s cents The tax is collected by hotel or boaiding-house keepers who add it to the bill. The so-calle1 fesuvity tax demanded by many municipalities Tor all public entertainments. dances, the atrical performances, etc, occaslon' ally develop some remarkable decis' ions. The authorities of small town in Remover required a widow 10 pay this tax because band marched ana played in her late husbands funeral procession.
