"The contrasts between western and

as civilization pushes its way into the
region once known as the frontier"

country to reporter Of the Washing

SALARIES OF GREAT RULERS.
The Shah of Persia Heads tho List With
$50, 5000.
Special Corrcspondcncc.l

Especial Correspondence
BOSTON, Nov. 30.-It is impossible to
obtain complete information on the sub
ject of the salaries paid to the worlds
chief rulers, as it seems to be considered
estate secret" by some governments.
The president of the United States re-
ceives 1000, or monthly salary of
4,1GG6Gf Every third month the checl,
tent to him has Il terminal figure of 81
cents. The shah of Persia, when not
wandering about Europe, abusing the
hospitality of it's reigning sovereigns
and causing Il spasin of terror to invade
the household he hon0rs with his pres
ence, is employed in supervising tho
wants of several hundred wives. for
which arduous labor he is paid $50, O0O,-
O0O year. The car of Russia is in the
enjoyment of an income of $40, 100000
yearly. Tho diSniiied king of Siam
struggles along OH IL similar sum. The
homanoffs own rs private property
about one-twentieth of the best land in
Russia, almost the entire mining district
in the Altai, many Of tho most lucrative
works in the Ural, and have civil list
of 100000 rubles, which tho car can
increase at his pleasure.
TO the royal family of Spain is paid
100000 annually, and the Italians
make up u purse of 100000 and more
for their royalties. Such figures as these
console the British people to some extent
for their annual outlay under specific
laws of $2,015,000 on Victoria and her
brood.
That reformed pirate of the seas, the
sultan of Morocco, has an annual allow
ance of $4,000, 900, and the mikado of
Japan draws from the treasury Sc, 3O0,-
OOO The impotent royalty of Egypt re-
ceives $1,575, 900 from the substance of
that tax ridden country, while the Ho-
henzollerns ~" satisfied. presumably,
with yearly tribute of 81 1875 900 from
the Prussian empire. The Austrian
emperor receives yearly salary" of
$3,750,0O0.
Even the sultan of Zanzibar lays his
hand upon 81 100000 year, and $780,
600 are wrung from the fair haired peo-
pie of Saxony-a community about as
large as Illinois in population, and
geographical area the size of New Jersey

by the reigning duke and his purpled
gang. Portugal and Sweden each spend
5000, 600 on the kings, and Brazil former
ly gave the same amount to Dom Pedro.
Da Fonseca's salary is not paid with any
precise regularity at present. With less
people than live in some of the wards of
New York city, and with an expanse Of
country about equal TO the confines of
Delaware, the petty princelings of
SchwarZbnrg-Sonderhausen receive as n
compensation for their presence the sum
Of $15O,000
The republic of France is sufficiently
generous to allow her president $500, 600
yearly income, but Switzerland only
gives TO her chief magistrate house rent
and salary of $4,000. Naked little
Hayti remunerates her presidential
crowd to the extent of %2l0 900 year.
The governor generals of Canada and of
Victoria arc paid $50 600, while the sim
liar functionary in India receives 5000
600 per annum.
The details of her majestys income
are interesting. She receives as queen
(Victoria) an annual salary, termed the
civil list, of $l.025, 900; as Duchess of
Lancaster she draws annually $205 ZOO
and a pension of 81 ,015 Sin lieu of pris-
ny" and butlerage on wines imported
ln,u the duchy." which must be a relic
of feudal days. This sum of over So ,OO0,-
600 is clear profit, as she does not have
to be charitable out of her own pocket,
for parliament grants every year about
$1,000 for royal presents and bounties.
Americans who attend British race
meetings are always impressed with the
evidence they afford of the soveregn's
munifcent patronage of the national
sport, for at every important ''event"
there is a Queens plate i'll which all
may compete. But here her majesty ell
joys the reputation of benevolence with
out personal Inconvenience, for the mon
eys for these stakes are dutifully provid-
ed by the house of commons every year.
Parliament also attends to the repairs of
palaces, and even for kitchen gardens at
tached thereto, sometimes at a cost of
$4,000 in one year. Royal yachts are
furnished and kept in repair at an annual
cost of nearly 100000. Her majesty's
Inner costs $3.50 yearly, her historiog-
rapher 5000, and her clocl1maker, who
certainly never makes clocks, is put down
for the modest sum of $S2
Queen Victoria has built memorials
of her late husband in Windsor castle
and in Hyde park. Parliament votes
every year $3.50 for attendants at the
former, and $4,000 for repairs and re-
gliding of the latter. In addition to this,
her majesty owns an enormous amount
of private property-houses, lands and
stocks-although by law she is not sup
4 - e
what the nation provides. When Prince
Albert died, leaving personality various

was not even deposited ut Somerset
House the legal receptacle for snch pa
pers, much l=ss made public-but then
there is only one Queen Victoria.

One of the distinct advantages ac-
corded to women in these days is that
the period of youth is greatly pro-
longed, and she may virtually bo any
age she likes to be-that is, at least
any age she looks and feels.
Happily for her, the time when 1t
was considered an evidence OF vanity
and bad taste to dress and act youth
fully after she had passed an accept
ed Rubicon has gone by; woman
may follow her feelings in these par
ticulars without exciting censure or
ridicule, any latitude being allowable.
always providing that sho will keep
to certain standard in youthful
spirits and appearance.
It certainly seems unreasonable
that when a woman is conscious of no
decay, either mental or physical;
when the joy of living is just rs in
tense, and all pleasures are just as
eagerly enjoyed, she should bs con-
sidered old simply because she has
passed her premiere jeuncsse.
Moreover, in her contest with the
'insolent pride of youth" she has her
incontcstable innings. that more than
offset the mere "beaute du diable" of
the girl. With her experience and
ripened intelligence she far outstrips
her bread-and-butter rival, and 1t is
now universally conceded that fas-
cinating woman may be any age above
80, but rarely, II ever, can 1ly claim
to tho title when she is less mature.

Routed the Dervlshes.

Advlces from Massowah, Egypt, say that
the italian forces have been again confronted
by large forcc of dervishes. The latter ar
rived there at o'clock on the evening OF De-
cember Q. There were 2, 600 Of the tribesmen
armed with clubs, and 400 more were armed
with spears.
In order to forestall a night attack, Colonel
Airmondi, in command Of the Italian troops,
took the offensive. After pitched battle,
which lasted two hours, the dervishes were
routed and driven across Barrea river, leaving
hundreds Of dead upon the field. Among the
killed was Mohammed Ali and nearly all the
emirs who followed his standard. The ltal-
iaus captured sixty flags and machine gun.
The Italians lost captain, two lieutenants,
o sergeant and about 100 men, mostly ma
tives. Two italian lieutenants were wounded.
The italian fo-co amounted to 1,bOO men.
Colonel Airimondi, at last accounts, was In
pursuit Of the onemy, with = view TO further
punishing them. Il IL estimated that the
dervishes had 1, 200 Of their men killed. Mo-
hammsd All, their leader, who was among
the slain, was the dervish commander who
fought tho Abyssinians At Matcmnehan and
killed the Negus.

sent one of his men direct to DR.. Maid

He deemed it wise to send another trust

know nothing.

and the thorough lady at all times.
