TIPs ZOE LIE QuEEN.
They Are Called Perquisites, But She Gets
Them just the Same.

Them just the Same.
Queen Victoria gets more tips than
any other functionary in Great Britain,
and, what is more, she insists on get
ting them. Of course they are not
called tips. They are called perquis-
ties, but it is all the same. An ex-at-
tache, writing in the New York Trib-
une, says that among the most curious
of them is her right to every whale or
sturgeon captured on the coast of the
united kingdom and brought to land.
Both of these perquisites date back to
the days of the Norman kings and it
appears that in the case of the whale
the monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robe might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for the stiffening of
her royal garments.
Another of the queens backsheesh
is a certain number of magnificent
Cashmere shawls, which are dispatched
to her every year from the kingdom of
Cashmere. They vary in value, as a
rule, from three hundred to twelve
hundred dollars apiece and the queen.
is accustomed to present one of them
as a wedding present to every young
girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu-
ture she is in any way interested.
Every tailor holding patent of ''Pur-
veyor to her Majesty" if he conforms
T to ancient tradition and usage, should
present her with a silver needle each
year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present annually to her
u table cloth, while from other sources
she is entitled to an annual contribu-
ton of such varied tips as white doves,
white hares, ,currycombs, fire tongs, scar
let hosiery, nightcaps, knives, ,lances and
crossbows. Moreover, at the corona
ton the lord of the manor of Adding
ton must present to the sovereign a
dish of pottage" composed of almond
milk, Drawn of capons, sugar, spices,
chickens parpoiled and chopped" At
the same ceremony the lord of the
manor of Hayden is obliged by virture
of his tenure from the crown to pre-
sent the monarch with a towel, the
lord of the manor of Workshop giving
the sovereign a ''right-handed glove
These are only few of the various
backsheesh to which Queen Victoria is
entitled by tradition and usage.

enforced idleness, while the workmen in
the silver using countries finds no diff
Guilty in obtaining work. The English
workman exhausts his pay received, per-
haps at old rates, but for much re-
duced time, for his rent which has not
fallen, and has not the means to obtain
the pecesaries of life; the latter is pros
porous and happy and has no difficulty
to make both ends meet. He receives in
reality much higher wages than the
Englishman, who is paid nominally
much higher rates, because his time is
not occupied.
Thesilver-using countrieshavenotf fallen
behind, but are advancing constantly with
rapidly increasing strides They are de-
veloping their own resources and extend
ing their trade with one another. Com
parison between the gold-using and the
silver-using countries recoils greatly to
the disadvantage of the gold-using coun-
tries, whose domestic industry is para
lyzed and whose trade with the silver
using countries is drying Mp.
All these advantages belong to coun
tries on the silver basis. How much
greater would be the advantages accru-
ing to our great country should we place
silver side by side with gold, when we
should add to the advantages the silver
countries enjoy all those which would
come in the train of the combined use of
both metals!
1t may be asked if the silver using
countries are so comparatively prosperous,
why are they 50 anxious for the world
wide reconciliation of silver? 1t is be-
cause they suffer grievously from the
high premium which they must pay for
gold when they must export it to pay in

South American republics are thus heav-
lily handicapped and are all much embar-
raised by large foreign debt, both ma
tional and corporate and individual, pay

taxes. heavy charges for transportation,
and places the native manufacturers un-

which they labor. The silver-using coun-
tries can escape from these onerous
charges only through monetary action
that will cause fall in the value of gold.
Hence their wish for the general remon-

The United States is also much en-
