The Yearly Income of a President.

There is general idea that the presi-
dents salary of $4,000 a year is all that
he receives, and that, when compared
with the salaries paid the sovereigns of
Europe, the sum is not enough. This is
mistake. In addition to his salary,
the president receives $36, 064 to pay the
salaries of his clerks and subordinates.
His private secretary has S., $50; his as
sistant secretary, $3.50; the stenog.
rarher gets 81 800; each of five messen-
gers, 81 200: the steward, 81 800; each of
the two doorkeepers, 81 200, while other
employees are paid in proportion down
to the man who takes care of the fires,
who receives 1854.
In addition s., 600 are allowed for Incl
dentals, such as stationery and carpets;
Sl2,500 for repairs and refurnishing; ST.
500 for fuel; $4,000 for the greenhouse,
and Sl5, 900 for the stable. gas and other
incidentals. In all the president and
his house cost the country more than
$l25, 000.-San Francisco Argonaut.

The Queen as q Gardener.

In former days the queen herself was
fond Of gardening. Each of her children
had little plot of ground to cultivate.
and these tiny gardens are even now
kept up carefully, just as the children
left them. The queen was one day tend
ing her flowers at Osborne with water
ing pot and rake in hand, when Mario.
the great tenor, came along. He was on
his way to sing in the palace at the COM
mand of the queen, and being delighted
with the garden had sent his carriage
ahead and was walking alone. Sudden
ly he came upon the lady with the water
ing pot. Would you be SO good as to
direct me to the apartments of the
queeng" he asked. what can You want
there!" said the lady. Il want the queen
because am Mario and am to sing for
her." "Vous VOLTA arrive. I am the
queen" was the reply. Mario was her
slave from that hour.-New York Sun.

A Visit to WaterlOo.

NJ. Jules Claretie, the administrator OF
the Coincide Franchise, paid visit
shortly before his arrival in London to
the battlefield of Waterloo. It was IS
years ago that the battle was fought, yet
NJ. Claretie was still able to CLEAN some
thing in the locality from actual eve
witnesses of that mighty historic event.
In the little wineshop called the Belle
Alliance" where Wellington and Bluch-
er, according to an inscription, met and
saluted after their victory, he found two
old women engaged in darning stock
ings. They appeared to take very little
notice of the strangers, but ON being
questioned the elder of the two declared
that she was over 80 years of age. 81
was 12 years DID," she said, lat the time
of the battle. l was living with my
parents at Plancepoit.
I'VE took refuge all of us ON the Fri
day in the woods with the cattle. It was
on Sunday they fought. 1t was just
after my first communion and on the
day of st. Donnat, a saint in whose honor
there is a pilgrimage in the neighbor-
hood. When all was over, we went out
and saw dead bodies everywhere. AT
night after the battle there was a storm.
The bodies became swollen through the
rain, and there were fears of a pestiIence.
They We're buried in heaps, with dry
branches between each layer, and then
the branches We're set fire to or quick

From the great increase in the
pumpage of water by the city water
works during the last week, and the
heavy strain the pumps have beer
put to during this time. it is evident
that the ordinance governing the use
of water is being grossly violated.
The ordinance permits of the sprink.
ling of lawns and streets for those
who have paid for the same. from {
to 8 O'Clock a. m. and to s O'Clock
p. m, except in case of fire.
Final notice is now given that any
person detected violating the above
provisions, will have their supply OF
water turned of, and subjected tt
other penalties which the ordinance
prescribes.
