A remarkable list Of royal perquisites
might be made ont. and It is very evident
fhat our erseious sovereign docs not re-
ceiys In the annual course OF events one
tenth Of the articles to which she IL enti-
tIed. She might not know what to do
with them, but that is another matter.
There should be, for example, coming In
every year a tsblecloth worth 8 shillings,
two white doves, two white hares. cata-
pult, pound OF cumin seed, horse and
halter, one pair Of scarlet hose. a curry
comb, pair of tongs, a crossbow, q coat OF
gray fur, q nightcap worth halfpenny, a
lance worth shillings, falcon, silver
needle from the royal tailor and one very
good and one very bad knife.
Such are o few Of the numerous and
whimsical perquisites once claimed by the
sovereign, another curious one mentioned
by ancient writers being that when whale
was captured on the coasts it was to be di-
vided between the king and the qneen, the
former taking the head and the latter the
tail. The reason Of this division was stat
ed to be that the queens wardrobe might
be furnished with whalebone for the due
stiffening of the royal garments.
Whales do not frequent these parts te
any great extent nowadays, but every stur
geon brought to land belongs by right tc
the queen. One Of these royal fish, caught

The adverse winds which have de-

fresh water further down than 1t has

OIL of Eggs.

Extraordinary stories are told Of the heal
ing properties of new oil which is easily
made from the yolk Of hens eggs. The
eggs are first boiled hard, and the yolks are
then removed, crushed and placed over a
fire, where they are carefully stirred until
the substance Is on the point Of catching
fire, when the oil separates and may be
poured off. One yolk will yield nearly two
tsaspoonfuls of oil. 1t is in general use
among the colonists of south Russia as a
means of curing cuts, bruises, etc.-St.
