EHf GENERAL COMPLAINT
AGAINST CUSTOMS RuRDE>


mere IS very general complain,
against the customs burden. None of
me necessities of life come into the
country duty free. All foodstuffs
Clothing and shoes pay heavy duties
The average duty imposed by the Fed
tsai government is approximately 10
per cent OF the value OF the article
imported. while each port also Ievies a
second sometimes third import
tax iof municipal or special purposes
Inc secondary duties imposed by the
Inherent ports are not uniform and
may wary at each port. The general
duty on -four is $3.50 for 100 Kilograms
The average duty on shoes is $3.50 a
pair for adult sizes. Clothing PAYS
different rates. according 10 materials
Gasoline re,aiIs in the neighborhood
oil ." cents Il gallon. 20 cents Of which
IS duty.
With a portion of the general gov
eminent revenue derived from direct
taxation on property many persons
contend there would he an opportuni,y
for the reduction OF many Of the i'm
port duties now levied.
The operation OF the customs re-
ceircrship is cited as proof that all of
The republics finances and government
can in time he placed on a firm and
stable basis. In all. more than $40
100000 has been collected and disburs-
ed by the receivership since II was first
established. and this has been done
almost entirely by Dominicans them
selves, under American supervision.
and the general receiver points out
that there has never been loss Of a
single dollar
OF this s4o.ocoooO Approximately
slS,oon.o00 has been turned over TO
the Dominican government for its
maintenance. There has. however,
been a national boating debt OF an
proNimately Slo.o00,o00 piled up in the
last five years. since the assassina-
ton Of President Caccres in 1911 or
at the rate of s2.00o. 900 a year, due
almost entirely. according 10 official
Dominican explanations, to revolutions
AIRY disturbances. And 1t has been
the rapid increase OF this floating in
uchteducss, in violation of tho Ameri-
can Dominican treaty. that has brought
about the present temporary military
occupation on tho part of the United
States.

recent trade figures showing that about
So per cent of tho islands business is
now carried on with the United states
Prior to the war Germany had about
% per cent OF the islands trade. This
has now dwindled TO almost nothing,
while the trade Of other European
countries has been considerably re-
duccd. There has becnIa great in
crease in trade develop with Porto
Rico. and Dominican merchants have
found there their nearest and quickest
source Of supplies. Porto Rico now
ranks third In the trade list Of the re-
public Porto Rican merchants are
taking advantage OF their opening. an1
are sending representatives here TO
canvass almost every line of trade. A
new weekly steamship service between
the two islands. starting two months
ago. is now bringing carGocs of in
crcasing size. The most direct mail
aud. passenger service between New
York and the southern ports OF the
island is now via San Juan.
The customs rccclvcrship has long
been looked upon by pomnicanS as tn.
most substantial and enduring ins,itu-

government finances. Although i'm
Doftcrs frequently complain because @,

been fixed by tho Dominican Congress
ana are merely administered hy the

THE DOCTORS FEE.

The wife of MISSIONER had little
dog of which she was very fond. One
day it fell ill, and she dispatched a
messenger for the family physician,
who, thinking that it was the great
artist who needed his services, made
haste to answer the summons. When
he found out that it was only lap
dog that needed his attention, he was
highly indignant; but he pocketed his
pride, and administered suitable rem
edies without a word of anger or
complaint.
When the time for settling &C
counts came around, the doctor sent
his bill to MISSIONER, whise wife,
according to her custom, was the first
to examine it.
"Ah, DOCTOR she said when she
next saw him, you made an error in
your bill! You remembered your
other valued professional services,
but forgot to make any charge for
attending poor Fifne."
Il do not attend dogs" said the
physician. Il am glad to have helped
your four-footed friend; however. ]
can not think of making charge
for such an unimportant service
But insisted Madame Nelson
Ter, II sent for you, and really ought
to pay you am happy to say Fifine

she was brave. A few years later a
neighbor brought her word that all
but the youngest son had been killed.
At the end of the war the youngest
boy returned. He was captain and
not captain merely by courtesy. AS
he rode through the old plantation he
saw to his intense surprise that it was
in fair state of cultivation and that
foodstuffs had taken the place of cot
ton. He had expected to find those
broad acres filled with weeds and
briars. AS soon as he had proudly
greeted his mother and been in turn
proudly greeted by her he spoke of
this.
THAT was my part she told him.
"You couldn't fight without having
something to eat, could your
1t was then that he noted the marks
of toll on her hands, and he knew
that the faithful old negroes had not
done all the hard work. He brought
his heels together in the military fash
ion and lifted his hand to the hem of
his hat.
Mother he said not very steadily
Il salute you, the greatest soldier of
us all"

SUBMARINE EARTHQUAKES.

The biggest waves in the world are
termed by scientists earthquakes, soil
tary ocean and cyclone storm waves,
writer in the Boston Post says. OF
these abnormal waves the biggest are
those caused by submarine earth
quakes. Some people who have seen
these tremendous walls of water have
estimated their height to be as much
as 210 feet, but it seems probable that
this is an exaggeration. Probably
earthquake waves do not ever reach a
height of more than 80 feet A big
submarine earthquake draws the
ocean water away from the land for
long distance. Then the mighty
wave comes smashing shoreward
probably the most terrific engine of
destruction loosened by nature, de-
stroying everything in it's path.

ODD CUSTOM OF THE BAeoBos,

Among the curious customs of the
Philippine islands one of the most
peculiar is that of identifying the
teeth by filing and blackening them
which prevails among the Bagobos of
Mindanao, says Popular Mechanics.
Both boys and girls of this tribe I'M
dergo the filing process before mar
rage, and this usually occurs while
they are still very young. The youth
who is to be thus decorated sits on the
ground beside the native dentist, grip
ping between his teeth stick of wood
to keep his mouth open. The dentist
then files each tooth down to stump
or else he cuts or breaks each to a
point, as preferred by the beauty-seek-
ing. patient. All that is left of the
teeth is blackened by powder Sc
cured from a certain native tree.

my gate are very rusty, and in sore
need of fresh coat of paint. Have
the goodness to send Monsieur Meis-

But my husband, I would have
you know, does not paint gates
"And I do not doctor dogs. Good

The great painter, it is safe to say

request. Whether or not he succeed

Fix your peppers on success,
Then go in to win it.

Try to help them all you kin.
Don't sit round with hanging lip,
That is sure to floor you;
Try to get better grip
On the work before you.
Put some ginger in your words
When you greet neighbor,
Throw your troubles to the birds
Git right down to labor,
An you'll notice ev'ry day
Things is comm right your way.
Stop yer kickin', get a hold
Of the wheel and turn it;
You kin never handle gold
Less you try to earn it.

Stop yer durn repinin',
An you'll notice that yer skies
