A Burden of Royalty.

Labouchere, of the London Truth,
in a dispatch to the New York World,
says: 81 hear that the emperor's tour
to Austria and Italy will cost not less
than 100000. The amount which he
has to give away to the servants of the
sovereigns whom he visits is something
fabulous, and the presents of various
kinds cost frightful sums. The en-
peror took with him from Berlin eighty
diamond rings, one hundred and fifty
silver stars, fifty scarf pins, all richly
jeweled, thirty diamond bracelets, six
splendid presentation swords, thirty
large photographs of himself, with the
empress and their children, all in
gold frames, thirty gold watches, with
chains, one hundred cigar cases, with
the imperial arms and monogram in
gold, and twenty stars in diamonds of
Tie orders of the Black and Red Eagle. u

A Chance for an American Girl.

According to dispatch to the New
York World, Queen Victoria is in need
of a housekeeper. The position is an
attractive one from financial point of
view. Mrs. Henderson, the Windsor
Castle housekeeper, is dead. The &C.
cupant of the position not only has an
adequate salary, but excellent apart
ments in the castle, valuable perquisites,
and numerous privileges. When royal
personages from abroad visit the queen
at Windsor, handsome present to the
housekeeper is a matter of course.
Emperor Nicholas gave her five thou
sand dollars, and the Emperor Napo-
leon a couple of splendid diamond
bracelets. Good cooks and good house
keepers are not to be had every day,
and even royalty may well testify its
appreciation of the right woman in the
right place.

The Best-Fed People on the Globe.

If we take as starting point the
wear 1870, when the armies on both
sides of the civil conflict had become
finally absorbed in the pursuits of peace,
we ind that while the population in
creased from 1870 to 1887 only ffty-live
per cent, the product of hay, which is
synonymous with meat and the pro-
ducts of the dairy, increased seventy to
eighty per cent; the product of grain
increased eighty-fve per cent; the
product of cotton 112 per cent; the
consumption of wool, domestic and
foreign, nearly 100 per cent; the pro-
duct of pig iron 2S5 per cent; the con-
struction of railways 223 per cent; and
so on in varying proportions, all in ex-
cess of population, with regard to all
the necessities and comforts of life.
1t follows of necessity that since there
has been no accumulation of stock, and
since all that has been produced or i'm
ported in exchange for the export of
domestic products has been consumed,
the general consumption of the mass
of the people must have been greater,
more adequate, and more satisfactory
than ever before. -EdWdrd Atkinson

ERUPTIoNs OF THE SKIN-Ed. Venney of
Brockville, Ontario, Canada, writes, under
date December 2, 1885: 81 have used BRAN
DRETH's PILLS for the past fifteen years,
and think them the best cathartic and anti
bilious remedy known. For some five
years | suffered with an eruption of the
skin that gave me great pain and annoy
ance. tried different blood remedies, but,
although gaining strength, the itching was
unrelieved l finally concluded to take
thorough course of BRANDRETHs PILLS. L
took six each night for four nights, then
five, four, three, two, lessening each time
by one, and then for one month took one
every night, with the happy result that
now my skin is perfectly clear and has been
so ever since"

A HUNGARIAN recently applied to be
naturalized at the court OF common
pleas in Philadelphia. The court officer
asked him if he swore or affirmed, and
he replied that he did neither. He was
asked if he believed in God, he an
swered that he did not believe in a
deity of any kind. The judge then
promptly told him that he could not be
naturalized as he could not take an
oath of allegiance, and added: " We do
not want any more infidels in this coun-
try. There are enough in it as it is.n

New Possibilities OF Civilization.

Even the dream of the eight-hour agi.
tator may ultimately become reality
but this attainment will only be near al
hand when the workmen themselves
comprehend that leisure is secured
through liberty, and not by way of re.
striction. This is only the first cen
fury of commerce in any true sense
and the bearing of steam and electricity
upon civilization are as yet but dimly
apparent; their effect in shortening the
necessary hours of work and in ale
waiting the adverse conditions under
which so many common laborers now
merely exist, has hardly begun.-Ed.
