ROYAL WEALTB.-The English
royal family is not an enormous
land owner. The Queen owns 49,
600 acres in Aberdeen, and enjoys
the rent roll from the grand estates
Of Windsor, 10000 acres in extent,
and getting annually $40, 900. Her
Aberdeen property brings but one
quarter of this sum. She owns
Claremont, which she purchased of
Lord CliYe in 1882 for $500, 900; it
had cost him $3.50, 900. This estate
covers 464 acres. Then she has
estates in Germany, but all these
are small as compared with the
holdings Of the Dukes of Westmin-
ster, of Devonshire, of Portland
and Of Bedford. The English ma
ton pays into the sovereing's civil
list continually about $3,095, 900
annually, and during the life Of the
prince consort he received every
year $160, 900. The whole sum Civ
en- him by the nation during his
life was $3,l50.o00. Some forty
years ago the Queen received a gift

The Sun, Of Parsons, Kan, is responsible
for one Of the most ingenious calf stories
on record. It is to the effect that a COW
belonging to Joseph Rowe, a Labette
county farmer, recently gave birth TO a
calf, which lived only a few days. After
il died the COW transferred its affections to
the fourteeu-year-0ld son OF the farmer,
for whom she manifested a strange fond
ness. She ticks him just rs she would a
calf, and no one but the boy can do any
thing with the dumb creature. THE other
day young Rowe had occasion TO go to
town, aud as he remained away until after
milking time, his sister put on a suit of
his clothes and went into the %barnyard, and
succeeded in deceiviug the COW until she
(the cow happened to see the boy coming
up the road, when she kicked the pail over
and made "A bound in the direction of the
youth, showing the most unmistakable evi.
dcuces of delight"
