Royal Incomes in England.

The amount of the queens civil list
(e3S5,OOO) in no way represents the cost of
royalty. The maintenance of palaces is a
most costly item, for it includes not only
the palaces inhabited by the sovereign, but
a vast number of houses in which she
lodges her relatives and friends One of
these houses has actually been given to
the Due de Nemours, IA son of Louis
Philippe and one of the wealthiest of the
Orleans family. Besides this, there is the
building and keeping in repair of royal
yachts and various other such costly items.
Incomes, too, are voted to the sons and
daughters of the sovereign and to others of
her relatives.
In addition to the revenues of the Duchy
of Cornwall, amounting to about 10000
per annum, an income of $50, GOO per annum
has been voted to the Prince of Wales, and
OF 10000 per annum to the Princess of
Wales. The younger sons OF the queen
have been voted incomes of e25,000 per
annum, IA portion of which devolves upon
their wives if they survive them. The
daughters of her majesty have each an in
come of 10000 per aunum, and in addition
to this the Empress Frederick of Germany
received "A sum of El00, 900 on her marriage.
The Duke of Cambridge, as a cousin of the
queen, has 1000 per annum, and his two

earthly voice from the next room called
out loud enough to arouse the seven

The burglar was so startled that he
dropped his dark lantern and then, in try

and pitched headlong to the floor. The
lady, suddenly awakened, screamed at the
top of her voice, and the thief now thor
the stairway outside the door of the
chamber. He slipped, fell and broke his
leg, so that he was easily captured by the
butler and coachman, who had come to the
rescue Of their mistress.
All this time the parrot had continued to
cry at the top of its lungs
"God bless our homel God bless our
home"
Polly evidently felt that the time for
talking had come, and under the ciIcum-

night. Having Begun to talk, indeed, she
continued to chatter for the rest of her life.

For that my Lord has done;
But could work like any slave
From love TO Gods dear son.
But | have called you friends, for all
things that have heard of My Father |
have made known unto you"
Just as we tell our secrets only to our
most intimate friends. SO Jesus reveals
Himself fully only to those who prove
themselves His friends by keeping His
words, as He said in chapter xiv, %
10. I'VE have not chosen Me, but | have
chosen you and ordained you, that We
should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain"
In Eph. /, 4, it says that we were chosen
in Christ before the foundation of the
world. But 1t is also written in the same
connection that we were chosen to be holy
and without blame before Him in love; not
chosen simply to be saved, but chosen to
bear fruit that might abide to the glory of
God not chosen merely that we might he
happy in time and in eternity, but chosen to
lay down our lives for others, that they
too, might share His glory.
THAT whatsoever we shall ask of the Fa
ther in my name, He may give it you"
See in this connection chapter xiv, 10, H.
and verse of this lesson; see also John
V, IA, 10, and learn that when we abide in
Him, ask according to His wiA and in His
name, desiring only the glory of God, we
shall have whatever we ask.

Speaking Head of Brass.
[St. Louis Republic.

upon the authority of several passages
IN history we are led to believe that ia
nous wizards, magicians and astrologers
have constructed not less than six brazen
heads which possessed all the faculties
of speech.
The first of these was constructed by
Monk Gerbert, who afterward became
pope, with the title of Sylvester II. The
head is said to have predicted that Ger
bert would be pope, and that he would
not die until he had said mass in Jeru-
salem. After the first part of the proph-
ecy had been fulfilled and he had placed
the papal tiara upon his head he resolved
to live forever by steering clear of Jeru-
salem.
While saying mass one day in a small
church in u suburb of Rome Sylvester
was taken with sudden rigor. Know
ing that hts end was near he asked the
rector if the church had any special
name, Being informed that it was pop-
ularly called Jerusalem" he closed his
eyes and died within an hour.
The second "brazen speaking head"
was made by Robert Grosseteste, an
Italian bishop residing in London. be-
tween the years 1175-1253.
The third is said to have been the re-
suit of thirty years labor on the part of
Albertus Magnus. who was born in the
year 1905 A d.
Friar Bacon, who died in 1894, is given
the credit of having made a brazen head
which constantly repeats the words,
Thine comes, time is, times past" The
Marquis of Vilena Q3S4-1434) also made
a speaking head of sheet brass.
Polish disciple of Escotello made
the sixth and last of the famous ''speak-
ing heads of brass"

Haif and Halt.

Monday morning curious looking
dog came over the bridge and trotted
down the street with bashful grin on
his dirty face as if on exhibition. A
closer observance of the animal showed
that he had some curious features in his
makeup. Although most resembling a
dog he was evidently part mountain
bear. His hind quarters were exactly
like those of black bear, and his walk
was close imitation of the swagger
mountain animals of that kind have.
He was not inclined to be quarrelsome,
but no one seemed to court his friend
ship, and he was last seen going into the
country. 1t was stated that gentle
man in Marysville had recently been
made present of an animal of that
kind, half dog and half bear, and be-
coming tired of the animal took him
into the river bottom to put him out of
the way. Before he could shoot him
the dog-bear ran off, and the one which
put in an appearance in Yuba City is
probably the same animal.

a gentleman from the vicinity of Dali

a very exciting little episode occurred
up in that canyon on Tuesday, and
one which promised for time to re-
suit in the horrible death of wood
chopper, whose name he was unable to
learn. The man had been cutting stove
wood for some days, and had four or
five cords of wood piled up in different
places along the canyon.
On Tuesday morning he started in to
cord up the wood, and worked faithful
ly until about 10 o'clock, when large
rattlesnake, which was coiled up under
the edge of the wood, bit him three
times in rapid succession on the hand
and arm. The poor, unfortunate man
was three or four miles from a habita-

teract the fatal poison.

of the virtues of this little fine leaved
milk weed vine, but he had no means of
making tea of it. Nevertheless he at

shade of a small oak tree and began to
chew it. swallow the juice and apply
the mascerated leaves to the bites.
He grew dizzy and faint for while,

began to take effect He continued to

studded with one big diamond ON the
third finger of his right hand, and
snake ring and flashing sapphire ON
the little finger of his left His shining
patent feathers prevented one from see
ing whether he wore bells on his toes.
A man sat opposite me in street car
a day or two since who wore diamond
nearly if not quite as big as the head
light of a locomotive, and he constantly
tapped with his gem incrusted fingers
upon the seat, and the whole place was
filed with great light, SO that the eyes
of all beholders were dazzled. Thumb
rings are constantly growing in favor
both with men and women. They are
supposed to be mascots and the super
