The Wages Of Royalty.

Royalty is, perhaps, the best business
going, regarded from a pecuniary stand:
point. The salaries Of Emperors and
Kings are for the most part liberal, and
no deduction is made on account of abb
sence from dut5.
The Car of Russia has the most profit
able birth, his wages averaging $4,000
per day, or 365 times as much as Presi-
dent Grant receives. The Sultan of Tur-
key struggles along on $4,000 per day.
How he can do it, with his large famI-
", and the inevitable enormous dry goods
bills-is not easy to understand. Louis
Napoleon, last September, lost d place
that paid him Sl4, 900 per day; but he has
been prudent, and has saved up some
thing handsome, which will keep Him
comfortable in his old age. What the
pay of emperor William, Of Germany may
be, we don't know, but as King of Prusl
sia, he was paid only sS,27O per day. or
S3,OOO,OOO per year. Victor Emanuel,
of Italy, enjoys an income Of about S3,i
100000. Queen Victoria is a good mana
ger, and keeps the pot a-bilin on about.
S2,OOO,OOO per year. The Prince of
Wales finds se25, 900 unequal to his ex,,
penses. Some time ago, man named
Needy left Queen Victoria 81, 10000,
and Prince Albert left her s5,000,00O. 1t
is believed that she will "cIt Ip',,. ihore
richly than any other sovereign ofEurope.
In contrast to these magnificent figures
it may be interesting to; know that the
average income of nine millions of people
in England and Wales is less than two
shillings per day.

Bound to do a full Days Work.

Mr.. NJ, of Oxford, don't object to hay

story: A short time ago man went to
his place for work. Mr.. NJ. set him
ploughing round forty-acre field. After
he had ploughed faithfully all day until
the sun was about half an hour high, he
expressed his opinion that it was about
