Their wives always look up to them. Some words appear to be not writm with Ink, but written with poison. Bother Is for the purpose of making qs feel happy when we are aot bothered. Not so many people spend each fey In breaking down opposition as la .dodging it When it's 90 in the shade there Is a shortage of persons who seek a place In the sun. ' Bis-mouthed bass arent any more so than a certain proportion of thoaa who catch them. It takes a good deal of effort to get excited about Tacna or Arica, or even Tacna-Arlca. It's a whole lot easier to favor the widening of a street than It Is to get the street widened. An American is a man who drops a "g" and then laughs at an Englishman for dropping an "h." A great deal of human activity Is spent In straightening out the blunders of the inefficient. i -- ^ *».-•»»»* ^5* A trip through the country these days would be a great thing for Ae man who sees only red.

Washington.--A delegation from the Virgin islands recently appeared before a congressional committee and appealed for the removal of the ex- ' port tax on sugar. "That an export tax Is unconstitutional is a matter of common knowledge to American news readers, and Since the Virgin islands belong to the United States, some may question why the delegation should peacefully plead for the removal of the levy when.-ft could be attacked as unconstitutional from the time of its Imposition," says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic society In this city. "But the Constitution does not say that there shaU be no tax-on articles exported from the United States and Its possessions. It declares that "No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state." And, according to the courts, state In this case, means a state, not a possession. Export Tax Odd to Us. "While an export tax seems odd to a citizen of the United States, It cannot compare with some of the humorous levies in foreign countries," continues the bulletin. "Since feudal times the kings of England have received miscellaneous articles as taxes on valuable property. "Two knives, six horseshoes nnd slxtv-one nails are sent to the king's court by the city of London each year for the use of a parcel of land near the famous Strand, while a school occupying a piece of property near the Tower bridge, sends a bunch of roses. The land Is worth $10,000, hut as long as the roses are 'paid,' the school is permitted to continue In peaceful possession. Peppercorns (pepper berries) are paid by the Royal academy for its London site. "To hold his land the owner of Aylesbury manor provides three geese If the king visits Aylesbury In tfre summer and three live eels If he goes there In the winter. The owner Is also bound to put clean straw on the king's bedroom floor three times a year 1? the sovereism stops there. Straw qh tk£ bpflrQojji floor ^as one of t^tg luxuries of feudal times. "The tenant of Copeland manor Is required to hold the king's head should he get seasick while crossing the stormy waters of the English channel from Ityvet t& TThltsand bay. "A crossbow Is contributed by the ancient city of Chichester, while the lord q£ Bryandon, Dorset county, is Bound t«j hiake a yearly presentation of a stringless bow and an unfeatl^ ered arrow for his majesty's use tshould he decide to war with Wales. "Instead of paying an assessment In money, knights, to whom large parcels of feudal land were granted, were bound to perform 40 days' service in the king's military establish ment and to equip themselves for duty. "Property owners in England a few hundred years ago also accounted for the number of hearths and chimneys In their buildings, for each one of them was levied upon. Windows also were taxed and today one occasionally sees evidence of the. evasion of this levy where old windows have been bricked up. Blocks of Salt Paid Taxes. "For centuries blocks of salt were sent to the rulers of China from the provinces bordering the sea to pay taxes. Rice and silk vie<£ with salt in importance. Today. In some parts of the republic, rice supplements silver In payment of levies. In ancient times some tribes sent elephants' teeth while the Cantonese, it is related, made payment In crabs, frogs, snakes and crickets. "Travelers from one city to another in China soon became familiar with other ways of raising revenue, than that collected from land owners.
