THE ISLAND ARGUS, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4 so

The king OF Italy formed the foolish
habit OF cutting his hair pompadour
years ago, and now he cannot make it
stay down. Over and over again he has
written to me to know what he should
do In order to destroy or allay at least
that appearance OF surprise which his
erect hair gives him. He says his life is
imbittered by it, and that if it were not
that he fears that he would brighten the
Seraphim he would willingly blow out
the gas and go home.
Pedro III, of Alcantara, made an assign
ment last year, and putting his throne
out In the carriage house with burlaps
over 1t he went abroad, telling the rump
senate and house of representatives to
take their old empire and never to
darken his doors again When last
heard of he was preparing a magic Ian
tern slide lecture on How TO Reign
with Least Fatigue, and What STYLE of
Scepter Is Best Fitted for Indoor Reign
ing"
Leopold Ii, of Belgium, says that if
he could get the same salary from Phil
Armour for sticking hogs that he does
for reigning over Belgium he would be in
Chicago early in November. when the
great anniversary and carnival of the
hog assassination of Illinois is at its full
height, and he would have his clothes
sent to him afterward
khulaloukoru |, king of Siam, says
that he would rather run soda fount-
ain than be king. He gets all het up in
the middle of the day. and his throne
fairly aches by o'clock at night.
Muley Hassan, the sultan of Morocco,
is tired and sick of his job. and says that
if he could take few of his best wives,
and shotgun, and a wall tent, and go
out camping for about eighty-fve years
and let the kickers do the ruling them
selves. he would be willing to do it if he
could do so honorably, but it's like Jay
Gould with his money, he says. The
thing has no doubt made a slave of him,
with n big iron collar on his neck that
leaves him never day or night, but curses
him even with the fear that he will lose
it, and not only be again poor and
forgotten. but occasionally raked mp
as an example and jeered at by the mob.
That is why, as Muley Hassan says,
man frequently clings to a throne that
has a big hornets nest in the base of it.
He hates to quit, ana thus admit that he
was not Indispensable. or give the com
mon people a chance to say unjust
things of him when he is gone. He is
like the colorcd man who held the bear
by the tail and desired help 10 let 60
Wales has been very successful in
some ways. He has fleshed up first rate.
and has also made 4 record as the oldest
prince III England, ireland or Scotland.
BE Is looking real RAGGED. but his figure
reminds one of a disabled penchant with
string around it.
GeoIgioR IL, king of Greece. is a som
nambulist ana hardly night passes
that he does not wander forth and fall
off the edge Of his kingdom somewhere.
He says II he felt sure that he had made
his calling and election sure he would
not care how soon the summons came.
He says he Is tired reigning over a little
clearing like Greece. where the history
of All the old family business is repeated.

STRANGE DEPRAVtTY.
An Extraordinary story Which Comes All
the Way from Smyrna.

the Way from smyrna.
A few days back two Greeks present.
ed themselves at the palace of the grand
rabbi OF Smyrna and asked to see him
on very important business. The VEN
cradle Abraham Palacci being unweli,
they were asked to come another day.
Next day they called again; the rabbi
not having yet recovered. his son, man
of fortyfve, learning that their bust
ness was urgent, asked if they could not
explain it to him. After some desuItory
conversation they consented, at the same
time request ting to be conducted to some
remote apartment where there was nc
danger Of being overheard. This being
done, one of them said TO him: Every
one has MS particular religion: we are
aware that part of yours is to offer at
Easter Christian child in sacrifice; now
we are ready. for the sum of 81, 400, &c
furnish you with a fine, plump and
healthy Christian child, little Greek
girl four years old. for your sacrifice.
and the child shall be obtained in such
manner as to insure the most profound
secrecy" The rabbits son, as may we'll
be supposed, was thunderstruck at the
proposal, but he dissem BLEED his feelings
and stated that before ne could enter
into any definite arrar~~ments with
them it was necessary he 7oald consult
his father. They having assented to
this, he withdrew TO his fathers room
and briefly related to him the story OF
the grim proposal. Speaking in the He
brew tongue. for fear the men outside
should understand, the father told him
to dispatch messenger speedily TO the
headquarters Of the police, requesting
the chief of police to send i'm mediately
an officer with body Of gendarmes, and
then to go back and keep the Greeks,
under the pretense Of discussing the
price of their crime. Emin Efsndi
speedily answered the summons, and on

LONGEVITY OF BIRDS.
Swans, Falcons, Eagles and Ravens Live
Good Old Age.

Swans, Falcons, Eagles and Ravens Live to
a Good Old Age.
The swan is the longest-liyed bird,
and it is asserted that it has reached
the age OF three hundred years. Knauer,
in his work entitled ''Naturhistoriker,
states that he las seen falcon that
was 1872 years old. The following ex-
amples are cited as to the longevity of
the eagle and yulture: A sea eagle cap
tured in 1715, and already several years
of age, died 1o4 years afterward, in 1919;
a white-headed vulture, captured in
17O6, died in 1926 in one of the avlaries
Of Schoenbrunn castle, near Vienna,
where it had passed lis years N cap
tivity.
Parrnquets and ravens reach an age
of over one hundred years. The life Of
sea and marsh birds sometimes equals
that Of several human generations.
Like many other birds, magpies live to
be very old in state of freedom, but
do not reach over 20 or 25 years in cap
tivity. The domestic cock lives from Is
to 90 years, and the pigeon about 10.
The nightingale lives but 10 years in
captivity and the blackbird Is. Canary
birds reach an age of from 12 to Is years
in the cage, but those flying at liberty

In a recent issue of one of the leading
newspapers Of Pesth the enterprising
editor informs his readers that every
announcement of a betrothal or msrri-
age will be inserted gratuitously, pro-
vlding the happy couples will buy their
wedding outfits Of the tradesuen adyer-
Using in his columns. Births are treated
in a similar fashion, and although no
special mention is made thereof, it is
evident that the system admits of ex-
tension to persons contemplating their
final departure. The editor acts as a
kind of benevolent middle man-with-
out, OF course, negiecting his own in
terests. He gratiies that desire for
publicity from which few aspirants for
matrimonial or parental honors are ex-
empt. and at the same time encourages
local industry. OF course there are
certain difficulties for which prepare
ton will have to be made; such as, for
instance, the case of a person who has
been Tilted after having had her be-
trothal announced in the paper. Will
she in that event be freed from the ne

however, is a mere question % detail,
comparatively easy of solution. The
