unlikely that tho pockets of tho wealthy
classes of this country will be taxed next

tho prolongation of tho Iloer war.
Tho chancellor of tho exchequer, Sir

regarding the effect of Imposing a 10 per

difficulty would bo In collecting such a duty
cn articles occupying so small n space. It
Is estimated that such a tax would produco
$2,500,000 annually.
Tho news of this projected Impost Is
causing uneasiness to holders of Do Beers
and other diamond shares. Diamonds will
bo, of course, largely worn nt King Kd

Beach had this in view In sotting Inquiries

Fashionable persons appear to bo taking

to children between tho ages of C and 11

per cent drink nlcohol In some form before

Tho teachers, both men and women, nro
