The Cost of Royalty.

Royalty may be very fine thing, but it
comes high. There is little book pub
lished every year in London, and known
as "Whitaker's Almanac" which gives
some interesting information concerning
the cost of royalty III England. Counting
the pound sterling as s., the sums granted
to the royal family last year were as fol-
lows: The Queens salary, Sl,925,0 900; rev.
enues of the Queen as Duchess of Lancas-
ter, S250000; allowance to the Prince of
Wales, $500, 900; revenues of the Prince as
Duke Of Cornwall, $4,000; allowance to
the Princess of Wales, $4,000; allowance
to the children of the Prince of Wales,
S1S0,000 allowance to other children Of
the Queen, $4,000; royal pensions not
enumerated, S127, 900, making a total OF
1892, 200 for the royal family proper. The
collateral branches have to be provided for,
and thus it is that numerous petty princes
have large salaries and nothing to do.
Besides all of these her Majesty has
what is called the royal household, COM
posed in part of Dukes, Earls and Mar
quises, who get big pay for going on parade
occasionally, and the salaries of some of
whom are much less than their perquisites.
1t should be mentioned that if by chance
any work should fall to these people il is
done by proxy and paid for by the Gov
ernmen-. For instance, the master of the
Queens horse gets $4,000 year. He
has a nice easy job, for he does nothing
and has numerous assistants. He has a
crown equerry at $4,000 year, seven
equerries in ordinary who get from 900
TO $4,000 each, and extra equerries and
equerries honorary. Besides, he is pro-
vided with a superintendent of the royal
news, a clerk, storekeeper, two veterinary
surgeons, state coachman and an ac-
countant. 1t appears that a few grooms
do the real work.
The Grand Almoner gets $4,000 year
for distributing coronation medals on the
day sovereign is crowned, and he is ''as-
sisted" by a Lord High Almoner, The
Master of the Buck Hounds gets 81 500 a
! year, but there hasn't been royal stag
hunt for several centuries. Likewise a
royal hawk is thing of the dim past, but
the Grand Falconer gets S4,S75 year,
and he probably grumbles because he has
no assistant 1t is out of the question to
mention one-half of these sinecures, to say
nothing of those outside of the royal
| household. There are % Dukes, 20 Mar.
quises, lis Earls, q Viscounts and 2S2
Barons who must be supported. Yes, roy
atty is very fine thing for those who hold
the sinecures, but it is bad for the middle
classes, who pay the taxes. 1t is not sur.
prising that republics are gaining in popu-
larity.

NOTES FOR NATURALISTS.

TIE tailor bird makes It's nest of long
leaves, which it sews together with the
fiber of plant, first piercing the holes
in them with its beak. The bottom of
the nest has heavy layer of cotton.
The opisthocomus, bird of the island
of Marajo, in the Amazon, is fourfooted
when young. It's wing has two fingers,
each with a claw, which drops of after q
time, and these are used for scrambling
about.
A DUDIsH bird that lines its nest with
the down of certain flowers is the Ian
ceolate honey-eater. The nest is shaped
like hammock suspended from twigs,
and is very de ep. The groundwork is OF
grass and wool.
THE sociable weavers will unite to-
gether in building a thatched roof prior
TO nest-building, the structure some
times being twelve feet square. Under
this a dozen or more nests will be
built, each pair of birds building its own,
and each nest being shut out from every
other.
ACCORDING to naturalists a scorpion
will produce 65 young, a common hy
viii lay IA eggs, leech $50, a spider

produce 1,1O0 eggs, and a tortoise 1,GOO'
a gall insect has laid $4,000 eggs, q
shrimp 5000. One naturalist found over
II, 900 eggs in lobster, another 2i, 900.
Leuwenhoeck computes 1000, 600 as the
crabs share.
THE arawanda is a Brazilian bird
whose note in the depth Of the forest
sounds like tolling bell. 1t is impos-
sible to conceive any thing of a more
solitary character than the profound ST
lence Of the woods broken only by the
metallic and almost supernatural sound
of this invisible bird, coming from the
air and seeming to follow wherever you
go. The arawanda is somewhat smaller
than the ordinary pigeon, and has white
-,amage.

and. besides, il doesn't really belong in
the domain OF humor ct all. Country
humOr is not sectional by any means.

Of precious little account
To my way OF thinking, all true
humor is kindly, and rustic humor most
of all 1t never has anything personal
or vindictive in IT, and is always accept
able 10 an audience. Your country
man never fails TO make a hit, because
he goes under the veneer and talks
straight al you. in an of-hand innocent
way, that makes you his friend. His
reasoning may be absurd and his judg-
ment ridiculous. but his convictions
have the honest ring. and when ne
laughs at his own blunders you can't
help laughing with him. He sees

and asks the boys il they amt goin'

tell him. Then he sees their tennis
rackets. Fer the lands sake, Ye
