There was rumor aioat in London to the
effect that an increased allowance would be
asked for on behalf of the Prince of Wales and
bis family during the autumn session. If it
proves true, the proposal will undoubtedly
receive several black eyes. Economists
argue that there is no call for this additional
expense, The queen has an annuity drawn
from the consolidated fund of 81, ,925, 900,
which is especially allotted to meet those ex-
penses connected with her high position, the
partial weight of which has been transferred
to the heir apparent But that Is only por-
ton of the enormous income which good for
tune and frugal habits have placed at the dis
posal of the head Of the royal family. The
new Domesday book discloses the fact that
the queens private estates extend over 81,
372 acres, the annual rental, even at the
lately deprecated prices, being s130, ,655.
Some years ago her majesty, acting under
the advice Of Lord Sydney. purchased the
Claremont estate for the sum of s39o, 900, es
timated at the time as being little over hall
its market value. 1t is said to be worth
today at least $50, 900.
The queen also possesses property at Co
| burg and the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden. As
to personal property, there was the beques'
of quarter of million left to her majesty
by Sir James Camden Neild This will wa,
proved in 1859, and tho bequest must now
have reached magnificent proportions. Ther
there was the property left by the primes
consort, estimated to have reached nearly

and SO escaped probate duty, the exac

Douglas were making their famous tour of
Illinois, and were to speak at HAVANA, Mason

was stopping an old lady, who had walked l

clean dark calico dress of rather scant pro-
portions, and was toilworn and withered, but
withal had such kindly face that one forgot
her homely attire and backwoods manners.

eager and trembling in her desire to see him

interest she could have in him, or he in her.
learned that Lincoln, years before, had
saved the life of her son, who was accused of
murder, and no scrap of evidence seemed
possible to save him from the gallows. Here,
then, was the mother of the young man
whose story had so often heard.
The next morning the old lady was up
long before the rest of us, nervously roaming
about, and scarcely able to control her agita-
ton. Il am going TO be the first to greet

over and over again; ''and want TO tell him
how glad l am that he has become SC

Macaron is a favorite dish with many
people, and its manufacture an important
industry in many italian and French cities.
It is wheaton paste, prepared in the form
of hollow tubes of different diameters, and is
served at dinners in various styles for entrees

and christening in Sicily in this way: Once

but gifted by nature with an inventive

grated parmesan, familiar to those who have
partaken of ''macaroni alsogo" in South
