A servant girl in boarding-house,
who discharges the arduous duties Of
chamber-maid's position, when she
was dressing herself, entered into
brief mental calculation Of the presents
she would be likely TO receive from tho
various boardcrs OF the establishment.

sons OF Louis Philippe,

OF the five sons Of Louis Philippe,
who was King of the French for nearly
eighteen years, four survive. The
Due D'Orlcans, the eldest, who was
amiablc and popular was sort of
French Prince of Wales, and was KILL
cd by the ovcrturn of his carriage I'm
1872. IL is his eldest SOL, the Count de
Paris, now forty-Ono years old, who
was the Orleans protondor to the SOW
ercignty ot France. The Due de Ne
mours, the second son, obtained the
rank of Lieutenant General during his
fathers reign, and before he rad at
taincd his legal majority had been Of
fercd and declined tho thrones of Bel
gium and Greece. lie Is man of mod
crate abilities, DE Josnville, the third
of the Orleans Princes, became an Ad-
mlral while his father rcigncd, ana
with two of his ncphcws, witnessed the
proceedings of the Virginia campaign
OF 1862, and published his observations
thereon In Reruo Dcuc Hondes on his
return TO Europe. The Due de Mont
pcnsler, whose marriage i'm 1864, to the
lnianta Louisa of Spain, led to the
brcak-up of the French monarchy of
1870, Is Louis Phlippc's NTH son, and
apparently commonplace man. The
luC d'Aumale appears to deserve the
reputation which he has acquired of
being the ablest Of the Orleans Princes
lie was also the most fortunate. Louis
Philippe was 50 immensely wealthy
that hc could richly provide for each
member of lis family, but d'Aumale,
the fourth son, succeeded I'm 1880, when
he was only eight years old, 10 the vast
property estates and moneys of the last
Of the Princes Of the House of Condc.
and when he obtained his majority the
accumulation Of all his wealth made
d'Aumale one Of the richest men In
Europe. The Orleans Princes IL ia no
tOrlOus, are all wealthy, and also very
economic In their expenditure and liv-
ing. The Due dAumale who Is now
iitY-seven years Old, was highly cdu-
Gated, and "a the historian of the Conde
family, may be regarded "a man of
lettors. lie served with distinction in
the army before the revolution Of 1913,
and President Theirs was greatly
blamed, not only for restoring him 10
ms military rank on his return from
exile I'm 1871, but for subsequently
placing hIm in command Of one Of the
great divisions Of the army. In 1918,
when Louis Philippe and his family
had 20 fly for their lives from France,
the Due d'Aumalo was GOycfnOr-Gcn-
eral Of Algeria.

through the night
Where IN the blue a thousand star fires

That binds our life on earth and heaven in

But faith can live and sing when these are
