The NERVOUSNESS OF ROYALTY.


tho Tfthe- Of tbs People.
Louis Philippe was mean in the sense
the Americans attach tc the word and
had no perception Of am kind of grand
eur. He cut down ruthlessly, to make
money of them, trees in his parks which
had weathered the storms of many hun
bred years. His meanness was the ruin
of his dynasty. From st. Petersburg TO
Madrid and London to Athens thrift now
rcigns. There is hardly a sovereign who
feels that the income allowed him by the
nation over which he reigns is not for
him or her, but for the dignity of the
crown, and to act as a head waiter ON
national industry. The car and czarina
themselves, colossal as their private fort
une is, are intent on making it much
greater. Stinginess is traditional in the
mousse Of H~ohenzollern. but their civil
list allowances have been never great,
and they shrink from no duty. however
hard and irlSsome. They have public
spirit in a high degree, and command re-
spect. The late king of Sweden be
queathel his only daughter the largest
fortune that was ever known in Scandi-
navia, and it would have been counted u
great one all the world over. His father
was B~ernadotte, the son Of a Bearnais
lawyer of small provincial practice.
In Belgium, the royal family is also a
plutocratic one. Although Leopold /
was leeced by fair harpies in his old age,
he left each of his three children about a
million sterling. Yet NJ. Etienne Arago
remembers when he had to go in debt for
some French embroidered muslin which
he bought to make presents to the sisters
of his lin 1915 master, the car. Empress
Elizabeth is prodigal, and thinks she can
never spend enough on her stables and
dog kennels; but the emperor is anxious
to swell his investments and the crown
prince and princess pare cheese.
In Italy the king saves to pay his
fathers debts, and nobody, therefore,
complains of his thrift. Ludwig of Ba-
varia is not Of his time. His brother OF
Wurtemburg is no personally extrava-
CANT, like our James |, but is profuse
through favorites. The one now domi-
mating him is an American, who succeeds
an American. At Lisbon the king
dowager has amassed so much as to be
able 10 spend millions OF francs on M
country house neal Cintra, and in furn'
ishing it and the palace where he and hi'
amiable wife live in winter. Maria Pia,
being passionately fond Of dress, Dom
Luis pinches in the stables and wherever
else he can. He, however, only saves
out of his income. His ministers plundei
by meant of frequent loans, but he is MOI
suspected of receiving a share of tn,
hauls they thus periodically make.-Lon'

The big tunnel on the Northern Pacific
railroad is the largest in America except
the Hoosac. II will be $3.50 feet long.
1t is located on the Cascade branch
about half way between Columbia river
and Tacoma. The tunnel will be bored
through solid rock. The summit of the
mountains is 1 100 feet above the tunnel
70 that there has been no possible chance
to make an air shaft and the work is
prosecuted from both ends. The tunnel
will enable the Northern Pacific 10 cross
the same range OF mountains at an ele-
walton Of 1850 feet that the Central Pa
ciiic crosses at AN elevation of 1900 feet.

THE FESTIVAL Of MouLoUD.


Strange Sights To He Seen ON the street,
.fn Morocco Town
Safh is also one of the holy otties of the
Moorish empire, and in consequence i
thronged with ragged but sanity indi
viduals. who thrive on the charity Of the
devout. During the Mohammedan holi
day OF Mouloud. which was celebrated
ON the 10th and Goth of December, and
which embraces a fair held yearly in
honor OF that saint, 30 dear to all Mus
selmans. @Moulay Add l-Kedar-Giilely-
el-Bagdady, the Europeans resident here
were the ~dluddering spectators OF the
religious frenzy exhibited by the AIS
sowar and -Hamadsha.r or Hand
oushy. ON the occasion Of their public
professions, which are also conducted in
this holiday. The ~Aissowa" are of the
brotherhood Of -Moulay Hamed ben
Aissa." a saint of great favor among the
Moors. 1t is pretended that their man
ifestations, which include snake-charm-
ing and juggling, ridicule the miracles
Of Jesus Christ, and this prcposterous
statement is accepted by the Moors as
sufficient explanation Of their vagaries.
The ~Hnmadsha' are the disciplinants
OF one Sid Ali ben Hamdoush, whose
zowia is situated on Mount Zehrouan,
near the city of Mequinez. 1t is their
practice on the occasion OF religious fes-
tivities to throw cannon balls into the
air, which they receive on their bare
heads, and TO inflict gashes upon their per-
SONS with a small AK. The holiday of
Mouloud is accompanied by the displays
of religious enthusiasts throughout his
Shecrefian majesty the sultan of Mo
rocco's dominions; but Mt no other point
do these fanatics amuse themselves with
such ferocity MS at Safh, where the
righteousness of their behavior renders
it extremely dangerous for a Christian or
jew TO cross their path during certain
hours Of the day. Even the Mussulman
spectators stand with naked feet, fearing
the "AissowaT for lack Of prey, should
seize and devour their shoes.
None but AN eyewitness can conceive
the degrading scenes which occur during
the professions; and none, ever the
enactors, can derive enjoyment there
from. "The "Aissowa" are naked to the
waist. and wear their hair so that when
necessary it covers the face. The
"Hamadsha," ON the contrary, are
sbayen. as il the custom of Mohamme-
dams. The principal performers assemble
nj their respective GOWNS or chapels in
town. sally forth attended by the
~gernowar blacks), who are usually the
musicians of the party. They beat tam
tams and play an instrument whose tones
it is impossible to describe ON paper.
Suffice it to say. the student of this in
str1lment Is not allowed to pursue his
practice in town. but has TO play in a
solitary and distant SPOT until proficient.
This will convey some impression of the
music impaired to listeners by this bar
barous a%aqolet.
AS the processionists warm with ex-
element. then commences the fun of the
fair. The Aissowa seize any live animal
in sight; be it cat. dog. goat. or sheep.
Goats are usually proyided for these oc-

A NEW SYSTEM.

The management of the Union Pacific
Railroad company has under considera-
ton the Inauguration Of a new system of
regulating the pay oil conductors and
brakemen. Under the proposed new
schedule thee employees will be paid by
the trip on n mileage oasis; or, in other
words. the men will get pay by the
piece, = as the workmen in other branches
of industry, on the same principle that
has controlled the pay of locomotive en-
gineers and firemen heretofore. In max
ing up the new schedule, it is claimed,
two things have been taken into consider
ation-the mileage and the time on the
road, making as near as possible a day.
pay for eight hours work. OF course,
the more trips the men make the more
pay they will get. The LEADER learns
hat the new rate will not lessen their pay
per month under ordinary circumstances,
but that when they are pushed and have
TO work hard under pressure Of increasing
business, they will receive increased salary
in proportion TO the labor performed.
When the men become familiar with the
new schedue and understand all its pro-
visions, they will probably prefer 1t to the
old system. as 1t will enable them to earn
more when business is brisk, and when
working harder than usual they will have

SERVANTS OF THE ARIsrocRAcY.


bone of the Observations Made by Badesu
a Labyrinth of Labor.
In a great house thirty or forty indoor
servants is a common number, and often
here are AS many mo in the stables,
md still as many others in the gardens,
or the glass, as the conservatories are
,alled. One nobleman whom l knew
wa master Of the hounds and kept sew
snty horses, and for every w horses a
man. At an entertainment in the coun-
.ry-a sort of pageant or play-I heard
some one say that 100 of the servants
,ame into the great hall and stood behind
he guests. The remainder Were ON duty
elsewhere. Several times, in large estab-
tishments, / asked permission to visit the
offices; and the kitchens and still roons
and sculleries, the larders and laundries,
he gun-rooms and plate-rooms and
brushing-rooms. the housekeeper's room,
the pantries. and the servants hall, made
4 labyrinth Of labor difficult to explore.
In making the rounds | was taken to
the nurseries and the school-rooms, for
tutors and governesses are only a higher
sort Of servant in England. They live
and eat apart from the gentry, and often
get lDss wages than Wallets and ladies'
maids. | saw, too, the bedrooms where
the maids were making up clothes, all
rising when their mistress entered. l
visited the stables and the carpenters
shop, even the butchery and the brewery
for many Of the large proprietors kill
their own meat and brew their own beer.
Each servant is allowed beer money, as
well as wages. or else supplied with so
many glasses. or sometimes literally
horns of beer.
Usually the servants Of the aris-
tocracy are allowed five meals n day.
Their early breakfast is at 7, before the
family has risen; there is lunch for them
nj II, dinner at / o'clock, tea mt 0, and
supper at o.. At most OF these meals
meats are provided, and at two or three
Of them beer is served. The food is well
cooked and savory; they sit down to

in their season; and altogether II table 10

called the middle class can afford. In.
deed, servants in England can hardly bs
said to belong to the lower class-cer-
tainly not the retainers Of the a%ristoc-

hall is excellent, decorum is maintained,
and the more punctilious perform among
themselves many of the ceremonies they
