The heading "Cach* Ton Piano” (hide your piano) in a French newspaper, reveals a novel method of gathering money for the Treasury. The French people are being taxed for possessing pianos, and each owner of an instrument must pay from 30 francs to 60 francs for the luxury of keeping it. Householders Who keep servants are also taxed. For the first servant they must pay 10 francs, for the second 80 francs, and f or all male servants double rate.-. Tutors and governesses must be paid for at the rate of 100 francs It eeems, therefore, that the French people, of whom we always think as .one of the most luxury-loving people, are being discouraged from possessing the comforts of life. • For Influenza, take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.—Advt.
