INCOMES OF RULERS,
The Shah of Persia Leads with saInrx
OF $50, 100000 Year.

The sole income of the President Of
the United States from the public
treasury is his salary of $4,000 wear.
He draws it at a rate of $4166. rs a
month. This is a fraction more than
$500 week and $l60 each for six
working DAYS. Until Grants time the
presidents lived on half this salary.
says the Boston Globe. Experience
has shown that the present sum d
large enough to cover the expenses If
the most eNtravagant households and
to leave a comfortable balance in the
purse Of the presidential family Of
moderate ideas Yet there is not
another magistrate at the head of any
people exceeding the number Of ten
million who does not receive a larger
salary than the august, potent and
toiling President of the United States.
The Shah of Persia, who has moth
ing TO do except to boss several hun
bred wives, is in the enjoyment of an
income of $50, 5000 year. Then
there is the Car of Russia, whose
chief duty is to keep from being blown
up. He is paid something like $l0-
900, 900 yearly. The dignihed King OF
Siam gets along on like sum. The
royal family of poor, miserable Spain
receives s., 900, QC0 every year and
Italians sleep out of doors and eat
nothing but maccaroni to make up
purse of $1,000, 900 and more for their
royalties. Such figures as these con-
sole the British people somewhat for
their annual outlay under specific laws
of 81, $4,000 on Victoria and her FAM
lily, to say nothing of indirect extor-
tons aud perquisites.
That reformed pirate of the seas,
the Sultan of Morocco, is slightly COM
pensated for his self-denial by an an
nual allowance Of $4,000, 600 and the
Mikado of japan receives $780, OO
The Khedive Of Egypt draws $l,575,-
600 from the substance of that tax rid
den land, while the Hohenzollerns
content themselves with yearly tri-
butte of 81, 12j, 900 from the Prussian
empire. Even the sultan of cotton
c,outed Zanzibar pockets $l,O00,000 a
year and 100000 are wrung from the
SaXous and SaXony, no more consider
able community than Illinois in popu-
lation or Massachusetts in geographic
cal area, by the reigning monarch.
Portugal, Sweden and Brazil each
spend about 5000. 900 on their king.
The republic of France allows her
chief magistrate only $500, 600, but lit
tie Hayti gives her president $240, 900
year. Switzerland's president comes
the lowest of all the rulers of the
earth. Her salary is So, 600 year.

Royalty at Dinner.

Ia Italy the court dimes around a
table covered with magnificent SER
vice in gold; it is the only luxury;
there are no flowers. and the dishes Of
the country and invariably served
above all the fritto, composed of
foundation of artichokes, liver, brains
and cocks'-combs. At the German
court the finest table is that of the
grand duchess of Baden; she has an
excellent French cuisine and Pari-
sian cEicf, The queen of Sweden has
a very tempting table and bill Of fare
soups, almost always milk, and
beefsteak; one of her favorite dishes is
composed of balls of mincemest cook
ed with oil and surrounded with gar
nishing of poached eggs; then there
is almost at each repast the national
plate, salmon preserved in earth.
Queen Victoria's favorite wine is
pale sherry, which she drinks from a
beautifully carved silver cup inherited
from Queen Anne. The royal dinner
is very complete. The table is lighted
with gold candelabra furnished with
candles; orchids placed in epergnos
rise up to the ceiling. The queen eats
a special bread, square, well cooked
and of mastic color.
