Lsaries 01 lite wood meat nour veger tables pay heavily when they jivt brought In for the consumption of its inhabitants It is this which renders living so expensive in Paris for the- - octroi comes a last ont of the consum- er ¬ and as there is constantly large floating population in France largely out of the foreigner who has done so much to make the French capital the magnificent city which it is The little custom-houses-a- re distributed along the Seine and on the thoroughfares leadng into the city No one can travel throughout France stopping at the large cities without being constantly made aware of the expenses or the octroi hy the attention which his baggage and even his little handbag receives when in making his exit from tho station ho ha totTun the gauntlet of the petty officials whose duty it is to seethat nothing escapes the payment of this particularly offensive dutv There is onlv one country in Europe which maintains the octroi and that is Italy but Italy is very noorand if it is anvwhero excusable it -- is In that new and struggling country The inconvenience of the octroi has long been complained of by producers and consumers especially tbj poor upon whom it bears heavily and oruo of the more progressive statesmen of the country have for many years been casting about for some feasible means of having it abolished but so far with- out ¬ success The mreat cities which are chiefly maintained by it are naturally opposed and the rich whose property will have to pay more heavily should it be removed are also opposed to a chancre If this old medieval relic dis- -

I could suffer a good deal through lifeif I knew that I could at lat head offthe funeral fiend the ifian whowouldnt loan mo a dollar when I wasstruggling for grub but who cheerfullyvisits my funeral and shows his ap-

many attractive features about crema-tion

I am sure that when cremation isplaced within the reach of all it willrapidly become popular

THE VANDERB1LT

The sale of the ship Three- - Brotherscloses tlie career of a historical craft In1855 Commodore Vanderbilt orderedconstructed for his New York andHavre line a steamship which was de-

ains or expense had been spared in theandcrbilts construction and fittings
and when she left tho builders handsshe is said to havo represented an ex--penditure of eight hundred thousanddollars During the early part of thewar when the Confederate cruiser Ala¬
bama was making such inroads on theAmerican merchant marine and theUnion men-of-w- ar were unable to effecther capture the Idea presented it3elf toCommodore Vanderbilt that perhapshis pet steamship might accomplishwhat tlie ships of the navy had failed todo and ho presented her to the Govern-ment

THE OCTROI
Tniernal Caatoms Datr f7LVted 3aFrance aad Italy
Among the financial reforms proposedis that of abolishing 4th octroi This isafoim of interns customs duty na- -known and entirelv inconceivable inAmerica whoro irade ia free betweenthe different States and between thecities and the surrounding countryTho products of one department pay- - atax in that department and if they areisent to anotherpaycustpmsduty whenonteringit For instance acitizen ofBordeaux who owns vineyards andmakes wine in Uoussillon pays a tax onhis wine there and another if lie bringsthem to Bordeaux So with every otherproduct taken from the place ofproduc-tion
¬
to another locality The cities rlsohave their octroi making all the heces- -
Lsaries 01 lite wood meat nour vegertables pay heavily when they jivtbrought In for the consumption of itsinhabitants It is this which rendersliving so expensive in Paris for the--
octroi comes a last ont of the consum-er
¬
and as there is constantly largefloating population in France largelyout of the foreigner who has done somuch to make the French capital themagnificent city which it is The littlecustom-houses-a- re distributed along theSeine and on the thoroughfares leadnginto the city No one can travelthroughout France stopping at thelarge cities without being constantlymade aware of the expenses or theoctroi hy the attention whichhis baggage and even hislittle handbag receives when in makinghis exit from tho station ho ha totTunthe gauntlet of the petty officials whoseduty it is to seethat nothing escapes thepayment of this particularly offensivedutv There is onlv one country inEurope which maintains the octroi andthat is Italy but Italy is very noorandif it is anvwhero excusable it --is In thatnew and struggling country
The inconvenience of the octroi haslong been complained of by producersand consumers especially tbj poorupon whom it bears heavily and oruoof the more progressive statesmen ofthe country have for many years beencasting about for some feasible meansof having it abolished but so far with-out
¬
success The mreat cities which arechiefly maintained by it are naturallyopposed and the rich whose propertywill have to pay more heavily should itbe removed are also opposed to achancre If this old medieval relic dis--appears sonic otuer lorm 01 laxauonwill have to take its place and whatthat shall be will have to be a matter oflong and careful consideration to acountry whose burdens in the way oftax and import are already too grievousto be borne That the change would boa relief to the poorer classes and to alarge class of middle class consumerswho think that the necessaries of lifeshould be exempt from taxation if any-thing is too plain to require seriousargument Ciwv Smi FranetecQ Chron- -
