Income of the Gar.

The annual income of the Gar of
all the Russias probably averages a
great deal more than $25, 900 day.
The crown domains comprise more than
a million square miles, covering an
area exceeding that of all our New En-
gland, Middle and Southern States.
These include cultivated lands, pas
lures and forests in different parts of
this vast empire, which embraces in its
despotic arms more than one-sixth the
entire land surface of our globe. Be
side the revenue from the above estates,
the Gar derives large income from
gold, silver, copper and other mines in
Siberia. The actual total of his inn
mense revenue from all these sources is
not stated in the Government budgets
or finance accounts, the crown domains
being considered the private property
of the imperial family. In British
Consular report of 1867 the total in
come of the imperial family is esti-
mated at 81, 1900 sterling, which is
an average of about S33, 500 day. The
Imperial contributions to charities,
theaters, etc, are estimated by the
same authority at about f450, 600, leav-
ing net sum of 1900, 600 a year to
keep the family" - Chicago Inter

In measles, scaratina and other diseases of child
hood when the disease abaes aud disappears the child
may be leftwith dropsical illusions with ulcers the
and where diphtheria has extended to the mouth
and lips. at the corners of the mouth. Without the
boodpurifying effects of Hoods Sarsapdrilla recov-
cry is very slow, such ulcers very obstinate.
With il the very best success has been obtained.
After diphtheria-Seven children of JAMES II. BUR-
CESS Middleboro. Mass, had dphthera the same
spring. All survived, put complained of pains bodily
distress and cramps. Five bottles of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla cured the whole seven.
For five years after he had scarlet fever the little son
of JAMES " A. PRoUDFooT. Chicago, suffered from a
foul running sore about his ear. Hoods Sarsaparia
cured him.
After vaccinaton-Two children Of Mrs. G. T..
THOMPSON, West Warren, Mass, broke out with run
ming sores after vaccination dreadful the mother
thought she would lose both. They were entirely
cured of these sores by Hoods Ssrsaparilla.

The National Exposition

Of Railway Appliances, at Chicago, to
be continued till June %, in the great
Exposition Building, including large
space under temporary cover, and occu-
pying eleven acres of ground, is the
grandest railway exhibition ever held in
the world. Here are locomotives cars,
running gear, interior furnishings,
freight-car appliances, track goods,
wood and iron working machinery,
metals, oils, paints, varnishes, station
and office appurtenances, pumps, water
station and street-railway appliances
and long list of miscellaneous goods
used Ill the railway service. Here
may be seen the first loco
motives built in this country
and in England, and the latest and
best, showing the results of the invent
i've genius and experience of fifty years
in railway locomotion. The leading
manufacturers of the country here
show their best work, inviting examin-
alton, comparison and criticism. A
striking feature of the Exposition is
the large display of massive machinery
working with the greatest precision
and the least possible friction. Here
are single exhibits large and attractive
enough to make the sight-seer feel
amply repaid for the cost of his visit.
But multiplied indefinitely, and varied
III a thousand forms over an immense
space, the whole constitutes colossal
exhibition of railway appliances, from
the largest engine and locomotive to the
i.road watch and conductors punch.
An opportunity to see such magnif-
cent railway exhibition as this may not
occur again in this century. 1t would
be great mistake to regard this exhibit
as interesting mainly to railroad men.
1t has an interest of vast significance
to the people, the products of whose
labor turn the wheels of the locomotive.
The value of their farms, their mills,
their mines, their factories and their
labor depend on the problem, how to
make the best and cheapest railway
service, which this Exposition is the
first great public cooperative attempt
to solve And that the people, in whose
true interests this Exposition is held,
may see this magnificent display, the
railroad companies have largely reduced
their rates to all who visit it.

The Fall of a Wig.

In February. 1889, Sumner being in
England, wrote to friend as follows.
Lord Brougham has given me his full
bottom Lord Chancellor wig, in which
he made his great speech on the Reform
bill. Such wig costs II guineas, and
then the associations of it In America
it will be like Rabelais' gown" The
wig was sent home by Sumner, to Judge
Story, to whom he wrote from Ger
many in 1910, saying: IL am glad you
have Brougham's wig. / always wished
it to go to the law school. Put it in a
case and preserve it," This request was
complied with, and the wig became one
of the penates of the school. But the
biennial migrations of students, the
designations of professors and the re-
peated changes in librarians soon re-
moved those who knew the value of the
relic, and the wig, in its pasteboard
box, worked its way to the obscurity of
the law-school garnet.
Years passed: the death of Brougham
in 1868 revived the faded memories of
his eloquence, his varied learning and
his wonderful career; q biographer of
Sumner stumbled on a clue to the ex-
istence of the wig, and sought it at the
Cambridge school. None of the then
present generation of students had eve4,
heard of it. Inquiry proved that the
lawschool garnet had been cleared of
rubbish several summers previous, and
that the wig in its dusty box had mi
migrated to store-room in Harvard
Hall. To odd Harvard, then, the
searcher went, and encountered an aged
employe of the college who presided
over the buildings in the yard. Yes, he
remembered Il wig in paSteboard box
which had k;cked about for some time
and had then been turned over to one
of his assistants. The assistant was
summoned, and after long effort re-
called to his memory the fact that he
had given an old wig to his children to
play with, and that they having ex-
hauSted its attractiveness it had gone
into the ash-heap, and one summer
afternoon had been carted across
Holmes field to the hollow by the
willows, and dumped into the mass OF
earth and ashes which were then being
graded to form the ground upon which
now stands the north goal of the foot
ball field.
Further search was useless, and the
wig was left to its fate but the future
students of the English law, as they
finger the pages of Meeson and Welsby,
or Barnewall and Cresswell, and gaze
northward from the windows of the new
law building, may mediate on the mu-
liability of matter and the fall of Lord
Brougham's wig from the pinnacle OF
the woolsack to the ash-heaiDs OF
Holmes field-BOstoH AdUertiSer.

The Coming American.

The gradual change of the American
Anglo-SaXon into a type resembling
that of the Iroquois and Cherokees and
other Indian tribes, has been observed
by host of writer's; and among the
agricultural population OF the West,
any European traveller might be startled
to meet with stalwart, eaglefaced men
of pure white blood, but so strangely
resembling Indians in face and form
that they could readily pass for half
breeds. German physicians established
in the United States have summed up
in most impressive way these physical
changes. With the second or third
generation, Indian features appear.
The European color, faces out: the
glandular system becomes reduced TO
its minimum: the skin becomes dry as
leather. and loses its warm tint. The
skull becomes smaller and becomes
rounder or pointed; the hair darkens
and becomes straight and smooth The
neck lengthens, the jaw becomes mas
sive. The cheek-bones enlarge and be-
come prominent; the sockets of the
eyes very deep. The eyes are set more
closely to one another; and their ex
preston is savage and piercing. The
eyes darkens. The larynx enlarges,
and the voice become hoarse and shrill.
The bones of the extremities lengthen
without broadening; so that gloves are
expressly manufactured in Paris and
London for the United States with ex-
ceptionally long fingers. Other extraor-
binary changes also appear in the
skeleton. Within twelve generations,
all the positive signs of new race forma-
ton have made themselves manifest
among the people of the United States;
what then will the population be within
another 200 years?
That the Americans are becoming an
eagle-visaged people is certain, and
that many Indian physical character
istics are being developed among the
original American population is in
dubitable. But the future race prom
;ses to he something far superior, not
only to the Indian, but superior to any
ra e now existing-superior physically,
in activity. endurance, force; superior
mentally, in rapidity of comprehension,
