Bass, the brewer, is the largest con-
tributor to the revenue of Great Britain,
averaging $4,000 for every working day
of the year.
Queen Victoria's name figured in
the Indian famine relief fund list for
81 $50, and just below it was that of the
Baroness Burdett- Coutts (second dona-
tom, $500.
Gen. Ia Marmora, who, while in the
field, always displayed the tenderest in
terest in the hospital and ambulance de-
partments, has, on inheriting large
fortune, devoted very considerable
sum to the great hospital of San Giovan-
nj in Turin, which also benefited by the
munificance of the Duke de Galliera.
The Pope has contributed greatly
to the more humane treatment of the in
sane in Italy, and has bestowed large
sums from his private purse with this
object. Rome can boast the first lunatic
asylum established in Europe. 1t stood
in the Piazza Colonna as early as 1913.
On the death of its founders, CONTRA
ternity for its superintendent was
formed, which was placed under the
protection of Cardinal.
Up to the death of Nicholas, Jews
in Russia were not allowed to possess
land, to give evidence in civil suits, nor
to inhabit the holy cities of Kew and
Moscow. They were obliged to wear a
particular garb, and out of every Jewish
family one child was taken bv the State
to be educated as a Christian at his
parents cost.
Two gentlemen from Copenhagen
were recently taking a walk in the
"Dyrehaven," the royal preserves, sit
uated some five miles from the town,
when suddenly they were attacked by a
stag, which began chasing them with
the evident intention of goring them.
One of the gentlemen, getting tired,
tried as last resource to get up a tree,
when, fortunately, the King happened
to pass on horseback, and, observing
the danger, at once charged the stag,
and, having hit the animal a few heavy
blows over the head with his hunting
whip, succeeded in driving off the in
furiated animal. In reply to the thanks
which he received, the King only OBJ
served, swell, gentleman, perhaps it
was just as well that happened to ride
this way"
"A writer in London magazine this
month says: al am not naturally in
quisi.ive, and altogether, hope, exempt
from that morbid curiosity which takes
an interest in every detail connected
with the Royal family; but still should
like to know where the Queen gets her
India shawls from. don't mean from
what establishment in Regent Street or
Waterloo Place, for doubt if she ever
bought one any where; but I should like
to hear how she comes by the thousands
which she evidently has on hand. They
do not form part of a tribute paid to
her as Empress of India, because she
has always possessed the same super
fluffy of this article, some specimen of
which she is nevertheless always giving
away. don't think that any girl of
high rank has been married in England
for the last quarter of century who has
not had q shawl from the Queen. 1t al
ways stands at the head of the list Of pres
ents published in the Morning Post:
From the Queen-a beautiful India
shawl These shawls have
for some time been Joke
in English high life; it being
shrewdly suspected that her Majesty,
whose presents are of the most frugal
order, has some mode of getting con-
signmsnss at q very low figure. But it
is fair to add that the shawls are ex-
tremely handsome, and could not be
bought under high price.
