?^ffrttSKY STORED fr* GERMANY. S - / Distillers Find It Cheaper Than 9if> ing Taxes In This Country. It is not generally known that Louis ville distillers and warehouse men own warehouses in Germany in which con siderably more than a million gallons of Kentucky whisky is stored and will some time be returned to this state, says the Louisville Herald. The reason for storing whisky In Germany is to save moriey, although there may be the contributing reason of securing a sea flavor. The natl'.ina) law formerly provided that whisky must be taken out of bond inside ol three years, and the tax of $1.10 a gal lon must be paid on it when taken out It also provided that if whisky be ex ported such tax would not have to be paid on it at the time of the taking it out, and, further, that it might be re Imported upon payment of $1.10 a gal lon. The duty on imported whisky which is not made in America is $2.25. Many distillers and warehousers found it cheaper to export the whisky and import it later than to borrow the money for internal revenue taxes. An erjormous quantity of whisky was then sent abroad, and, as Germany is the only country which will admit it with out payment of a duty it was sent there. Both Mexico and Canada im pose a heavy duty. The distillers fig ured that tne cost or transportation both ways was cheaper than the inter est on the money with which they would have to pay taxes at the time. They could keep the whisky stored in Germany many years, or as long as they wanted to, and bring it back in small quantities, so they were not put to the embarrassment of borrowing very large amounts of money,for taxes. Congress has since passed a law allow ing whisky to remain in government warehouses eight years before the in ternal revenue taxes are paid. Educating Children's Memory. As children, part of the Jap's educa tion is learning to Dotice. A tray with a dozen things on it is given to the child for a few minutes, when it is tak en away from him and he is required to repeat from memory the name ot everything that was on the tray. Grad ually the numbers of things are in creased, and the time he is allowed to look at them decreased, until noticing becomes a habit, and in a single, cur sory glance catches up the main idea and details in an almost magical way. One mother, who heard of the method, ?was so struck by Its simplicity and by the value of quick observing that she tried the experiments with her own children?not with trays and objects, but in their walks. She found that the children develop splendid memories as well. Odd Form of Coal. One of Colorado's greatest discov eries in the form of innovation in coal i3 interesting experts and scientists in that state, where a deposit four and a hah* feet in thickness has been pros pected for two miles in extent and has yielded coal in the strikingly peculiar form of little cubes and hexagon shaped columns. It separates easily, the seams give off little dirt or dust, it burns with a blue flame, retains heat a long time and makes little ash. It br-:aks to a small nut size and is considered suitable for hard coal burn ers and grates. Many regard the new coal as one of the most valuable finds in this almost unknown empire of riches. The Oath In Slam. . The formula of the oath of office In Siam is long and complicated. It is also very violent. For example, here Is such a form of it as high functiona ries go through in swearing solemn fealty to their sovereign: "May the biood drop from my body; may my head break in two; may the crocodiles devour me; may I be com pelled to carry water in wicker baskets to quench the flames of hell; may I suf fer the most horrible tortures until my years are as many as the grains of sand by the sea if I violate this, my solemn oath." King Christian's Palace. Fredensborg, where year by year King Christian's descendants gather in patriarchal fashion, is about two hours' distance by rail from the capital. The palace contains about 400 apartments, Including a vast-domed hall where din ner is served every evening, and the va rious suites of rooms devoted to the use of King Christian's sons and daughters ?when returning for a space to Fredens borg; says Woman's Life. It is said that one of the simplest is that occupied by Queen Alexandra,, whose little possessions are treasured | most carefully. Fredensborg had many j memories of the lats Queen Louise. Buccaneer Fish. The blue buccaneers are among the most voracious of all fish. Swift, strong, armed with efficient teeth, they possess unlimited appetites and they know not the meaning of mercy or fear. Most destructive of all our sea fish, they rival the worst of the carniv orous species of South American wat ers. They are the wolves of the sea, and very frequently they destroy for what appears to be a mere love of butchery. They move in large schools and they never hesitate to attack fish of almost twice their own size. Observing Yukon Day.

Cures Biliousness, Sick Headache, Sour Stom ach, Torpid Liver and Chronic Constipation, Pleasant to taKe Dl L Illustrated Song 1 ?ALTCMORE OF THK fireproof Strukture?, Widened Streets and Growing Commerce. The area ravaged by flames consisted Of 80 city blocks, or moro than 14U seres, bounded by Liberty, Baiiuaore, Fayeite, Lexington and Gay streets, Jones' Falls to the water iront and Pratt and Lombard streets. In ibis sec tion wow 1.?S2 buildings, and with tne excep?.nt of about 20 of them, every one wad laid low either by flames or by city officials in fighting the are, and the section, which beiore the Are had been the naest in the business district, was left practically a territory of un improved land, says the New York Herald. Immediately after the fire Baltimore began planning improvements, livery utreet in the burned district was nar row and unabie to accommodate tbe city's rapidly increasing trade, and the main thing planned wai? the widening of these streets. Baltimore street, the most important thoroughr&fe and the dividing line of the north and south streets, was not widened, though agita tion of it held up improvements on the thoroughfare for more than three months and it was several times before the city council. Business men who at that time opposed the widening and won their fight have in many instances admitted they were at fault, but too Ist?. In addition to widening streets, the city made provision fbr a large plaza on the west front of the court house, a building which, cost nearly $4,000,000, and is considered one of the rery finest of its kind in the world. The city has also planned to take pos session of all the property south of Pratt street and extending to the water front. It will build''new docks and will lease space on them to individuals and corporations, a system similar to that In vogue in New York city. With the property condemned for the Improvements named, there were actu ally 95o lots upon which the habilita Uon of the burned district depended, and on these permits for 446 structures have been issued or applied for. But as these 446 permits in many cases rep-! resent two or more lots, about 770 of the 958 have been covered or will soon be improved with new ouildings. The tax assessments on ail the build lugs which occupied all the 958 lots in the burned dib.net before the fire amounted to $10,840,975, which is $4, 093,145 less than the declared cost of ihe new ones erected or now in course of construction. AU of the buildings are as thorough ly fireproof as man can mane them. It is doubtful if any city in the country has as many fireproof buildings at thia time as Baltimore. In the construction only improved methods were used, and there are quite a number of buildings about the city now that have not a particle of wood in them. Practically all of the new buildings have metal window frames, with metal sasheo fit ted with wire glass on the most ex posed parts. A large number of tbe new buildings are of concrete construction. la facr, there are now more concrete buildings In Baltimore than in any other city in the country. Builders say that this has been found to be one of the best methods of construction, being solid as well as fireproof. Probably the largest building constructed of concrete in Bai time is the new home of the Baltimore News. This building; occupies a large lot on the southeast corner of Fsyette and Calvert streets, and has Just been completed. One warehouse is now be ing erected which is entirely of con crete, the ouside walls being dressed in & manner closely resembling limestone, r In rebuilding the city the general tendency has been to erect buildings of medium height rather than skyscrap ers. Despite the fact that the fire demon' strated that wooden pavements will burn, Baltimore has paved some of her streets with wooden blocks since the fire. The wooden blocks have been used principally on the streets in tna vicinity of the court house, it having been found that they deaden the sound of passing cars and wagons, which be fore the fire was a source of great an noyance. Most of the streets in the burned uistrict have been paved with Belgian blocks, however.

He once j bought for himself a necktie which Le supposed to be of a modest and suit able olive tint and wore It once. He never wore It again, for his friends ? soon made blm aware that It offended against the traditional ^uletness of costume enjoined.'alike by the habits of the Friedas and by his own taste. The tie was of flaming scarlet On another occasion, when he found a little girl in distress on account of a new gown, made over from her older sister's, which was not becoming to her coloring and complexion, he tried to console her. "I wouldn't mind what a rude boy says about It Mary," he said-kiudly. "Thee looks very well Indeed In It like an oread, Mary, dressed all in green." \ Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed tu green. She was red haired, and her dress was red. That was the trouble. Once, on a day in mid-March, when out walking with a Friend and deeply engaged In conversation. Mr. Whittler ?approached too near for safety to a place where blasting was going on. The danger signal was shown, but neither Friend noticed It until a work man, violently waving his arms and shouting, leaped before them and warned them back. "I didnt see the flag at all." said Mr. Whlttier's companion. "I saw It" rejoined the poet, with a twinkle In his eye, "but I thought it was In honor of St Patrick.
