One day, however, we noticed a bont coaling in midstream for Suez and Bou bay, and there was a’rope ladder hanging down from the stern nearia can! barge on the opposite side of the ship from the gangway. We called a boatman, were rowed to the ship, and climbed up the ladder. Partly because it was the lun- cheon hour nobody saw us, and we found hiding-place near the funnel among
old coal chutes.

Then we gave ourselves up to the Scotch skipper, who was angry at first, but put us to work is deckhands. For ten days we were kept busy from 5 a.m.;

TAXATION DRASTICALLY
REDUCED.
While the British Budget remains at a monstrously high agure, Americawrites Sir J. Ellis Barker, has drastically re- duced taxation. Commenting upon the reductions effected, the monthly circular of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, just published, states:
