Boston has been making philosophi-
cal observations on tramps A squad
Of police were dressed as tramps, and
travelled about through New England
for several weeks, begging dinners and
associating with all classes of tramps
and studying their habits of life. After
thorough examination of the subject
the police report that they find ninety
five per cent. of these tramps natural
born thieves, and five per cent devoid
of even sufficient capacity for petit lar
ceny. The police further state that
none of the tramps are willing to work
at any price, and only make the plea
of no employment an excuse for lead
ing an indolent life. From this showing,
charity bestowed upon tramps is pretty
nearly thrown away.

PRINCELY INCOMES.
MilliOnaires of the WOrld---Some of the
Enormous Fortunes Of Europe.

The late Rothschild of Paris left a
fortune of 1,OOO,0O0,OOO francs $780,
0OO,O0O), which amount at per cent.
per annum would yield a yearly income
of 100000 francs ($10,0OO,000). The
deceased belonged to a family whose
members, besides being unusually rich,
divided this heritage among themselves,
SO it is possible that now another Roths-
child owns as large fortune as the one
mentioned did. The Marquis of West
minister, who also died not long ago,
was estimated by some to be worth
100000 ga, 000,OO0) per year; by 9TH
ers, however, at only about half this
sum, on the ground that his possessions
(his principal wealth consisted in real
estate) were heavily encountered, and
besides this, much of his capital had
been spent on worthless improvements
Thus the total wealth Of the Marquis,
his income taken as the proceeds of 5
per cent. per annum Of his entire capt.
tai, would according to the former esti-
