Value of Old vioIins.

Genuine old violins when in a good
state of preservation always command
good prices. But the country is food
ed with cheap factory-made violins
labeled "Stradivarius, etc., which
are Of no particular value. In 999
cases out of thousand violin which
is labeled as an "old master" is enc
of these modern productions, made in
Germany or France, and worth only a
few dollars. The only way to tell
whether violin has any special value
or not is to submit it to some good
violinist-and even then the value is
largely a matter of opinion. Such
things have no standard market value,
and everything depends on finding a
purchaser who wants the article and
will pay for it. Albert Spalding, the
American viClinist, has a Guarnerius
violin for which he paid over $4,000,
but there are other violins of the
same make which would probably not
bring quarter of that, and there are
thousands of fiddles with fake Guar
nerius' labels in them which are
worth very little.-Pathfinder

shakespearean Sins.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Walter Prichard Eaton says:
"'Oh, Shakespeare, Shakespeare,
how many follies are committed in
thy name! Sarah Bernhard has
played Hamlet. somebody has counted
the verbs the poet used. students are
made to read the dramas before they
see 'em acted, and here am l, with no
knowledge of gardening, trying to con-
vert an acre of burdocks into Titania's
bower!'"
He might have added the following
to his list of offenses: Annotating
editions with obvious comments, nam
ing wines and liquors after Shake
spearean characters, putting them in
the movies and calling Washers"
"Romeos."

Hindu Girl Seeks Privilege, With the
Idea of Securing a Medical Di-
ploma in the Future.

To work out her ambition to be an
Independent twentieth century WON
an, forever throwing aside the cher
ished ideals of her native country as
to the sequestration of woman, Kanta
Chandra, a nineteen-year-old miss
from Delhi, India, has taken the first

plying for citizenship papers. She is
the first woman of the Hindu race to
seek naturalization in San Francisco,

Though of the dark skin that has
for ages differentiated her race from
the blond type of Europe, the Hindu
girl anticipates no trouble in realiz-
ing her aspiration Of becoming citi-

word white in the blank for the

Woman and the Arts.

In the minor art of dancing, and in
the nobler work of reproducing the
music of the great composers. and in
acting the characters of the great dra-
matists, there are women of high, and
even OF highest rank But to leave
these more interpretive or reproduc-
tive arts, orly in fiction does she APP
proach the mark of men. For here
she must be counted with the great
of the craft. And even should some
grabbed soul insist that the rare COM
pany in which are George Eliot, Jane
Austen, George Sand, Madame de
Stael, and the queen of Navarro, does
not include the one who is greatest
in the guild, yet there is no discom-
fort felt in naming these women along
with Scott and Dickens, Hugo, Ger
Vantes, and Boccaccio But speak of
the other creative arts, and we feel at
once the chill Chaminade looks ill
at ease in the presence of Beethoven;

gelika Kaufman, with Michelangelo.

FRENCH TAX ON AMERICANS
Those Having "HabituaI Residence"
in France Are Classified and
Must Pay.

The monthly bulletin OF the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce describes
the new French income tax, especially
as it affects foreigners residing in
France, says the New York Sun.
Article 6 of the law says: "A
general income tax is due on January
1 of each year from all persons hav-
ing habitual residence in France.
Those persons are considered to have
habitual residence in France who
have a dwelling at their disposition
either as proprietors, benefciaries by
usufruct or tenants, when in the lat
ter case the lease is arranged either
by single agreement or by success
sive agreements for continuous pc
riod of at least one year."
Article IL says: CAS- far as per-
sons not domiciled in France, but
having one or more residences there
are concerned, the taxable income is
liked at a sum equal to seven times
the rental value of such residence or
residences unless the income derived
by the taxpayer from properties, en-
terprises or professions located or ex-
ercised in France reaches a higher
figure, in which case the latter amount
is taken fer the basis of the tax"
Americans living in Paris or else
where In France are thus divided by
law into two classes-those pursuing
gainful business or professional oc-
cupation and those who do not. Those
not engaged in business must pay
tax, their income being estimated at
seven times the rental value of the
enc or more establishments which
they contract to take for continuous
period Of one year. Those engaged in
business whose income exceeds seven
times the rental value of their one or
more places of residence must make
declaration of their total income
from French sources only The law
does not apply in the case of the lat
ter to income derived from property
held elsewhere than in France.

| ing in great luxuriance, while the
whole landscape assumes the aspect of
a flower garden.
One of the most interesting trees to
| be found on the mountain slopes of Du-
range is a species of pine, the needles
of which the Indians and Mexicans boil
and use as a remedy for stomach trou-
bles. Its taste IS like that of anise
seed. The wood of these trees is much
used by the Indians in the manufac-
ture of their primitive violins.
One of the products indigenous to
Durango, but one of which the state
does not boast, is a venomous species
of scorpion whose sting is almost in
variably fatal in the warm regions Of
the state, but which is more painful
than dangerous in the higher and cool
er attitudes. In the vicinity of Duran
go City 10000 of these spiders are
killed annually, some of the natives
making a businefs of destroying them,
collecting from the municipality a
bounty of one centavo per scorpion.
City Has Wonderful Climate.
At an elevation of 5000 feet, the city
of Durango capital of the state, enjoys
a matchless climate, which has earned
it the sobriquet, town of sunshine"
1t is one of the oldest Spanish settle
ments in the republic, having been
founded by Captain Ibarra two years
before the followers of Don Pedro
Menendez de Aviles initiated the per-
manent colonization of the United
States at St. Augustine. The site of
the present city was reached by the
adventurer and silver-seeker, Mrrcado,
who in 1862 discovered the famous
Iron mountain of the suburbs. When
Ibarra arrived with his colonists the
country was occupied by nomadic saw
age tribes.
One of the odd customs of the Du-
range district is the funeral ceremony
for children. "An angel is being bur-
led" is the explanation which a native
will give Of a gay procession headed
by woman bearing aloft on a board
bundle bound in white. The parents
of the child are obligated to give it
joyfully to heaven, to the accompani-
ment of music and dancing. If there
is weeping the baby cannot enter para
disc until it has gathered all the tears.
One of the places Of historic interest
is the town of Santiago dc Papasquia-
70, said to derive its name from "paz
quiero," meaning Il want peace" The
phrase alludes to the defeat of the In
dams following a massacre of the mis-
sionaries and a burning OF the churches
by the Tepehuanes and Tarahumares
in 1916. After the outrage the Indians
gathered force estimated at $4,000
and marched on Durango City The
governor of the province, with 500 val
liant whites, determined to resist and
save the territory for Spain In the
battle which followed, the Spanish
chronielers declare. the governor COM
pletely overcame the insurgents, who
lost $4,000 men. After this overwhelm-
ing defeat the Indians wanted peace.
Durango derives it's name from the
old Spanish town of that name, in the
Basque provinces.

Paris, August 27.-There was a further development last night of the German tactics observed recently of making scattered thrusts along various parts of
 the front. Three times the Germans at- tackled the Vaux-C -Chapitre wood north east of Verdun. They also delivered an assault in Apremont forest, in Lorraine. In each case the war office announced toay, they were repulsed. The statement fellows:
 "On the Somme front the night was comparatively calm. Persistent bad weather interfered with operations. "On the right bank of the Mouse (Ver- dun fronD the Germans in the night made three successive attacks on our positions in Vaux-Chapitre wood. Stopped each time by our fire, the enemy was obliged to return to his trenches after suffering appreciable losses.
 'In Lorraine, several surprise attacks of the enemy on our small posts between
 Arracourt and Embermenil were repulsed easily. In Apremont forest there was lively fighting during the night Our grenadiers engaged in combats of considerable violence with enemy patrols which they dispersed. At about 10 o'clock the Germans made an attack on a front 800 yards against our trenches near Croix St. Jean. The enemy was caught by our | curtain of fire and sustained complete defeat.
 "On the remainder of the front nothing l Of importance occurred" TonightS statement says: There Is no important event to report along the whole front, where bad weather continues"

Near Mobile. the writer of the letter is informed, flood sufferers are starving, and the cruel banks will not permit a statement of real con- ditions to reach the public.
 The letter follows:
 To the Editor of the Times.
 I wish you would kindly publish this appeal for assistance for the stricken people of storm swept Ala bama.
 have at hand letter from a friend in Mobile saying that the people of the farming districts in the southern part of Alabama are literally starving, the only aid being given by the govern ment, and that is very small. This friend charges that the banks of the surrounding country have shut down the lid on publicity and 1t is impossible to get an appeal to the country at large for the assistance so badly need ed, and if something is not soon done there will be greater disaster in the state.
 Kindly see what you can do as quick ly as possible and I am sure the coun- try will come generously to the aid or their stricken brothers. Let not so much go to Europe, when our own are suffering so. The country should arise to this occasion. Help is so badly needed.
