OBSERVED Horrors.
Decorations of Royalty which Have Deen
Fairly WON.

There are princes Snd princesses
who wear among their decorations med
ais for saving life at the risk of their
own, medals that have not been grant
ed by way of mere compliment, says
the New York Mercury, but which have
been honestly and honorably earned.
Other monarchs whose courage and
presence OF mind entitle them TO wear
this highly-pri2cd badge are prevented
from so doing by reason Of the fact
that it falls within their own province
to confer it, and they do not wish to
bestow it upon themselves.
A royal lady decorated with this
medal is Dowager Queen Pia Of
Portugal, who is as magnificent 3
swimmer as the queen regent of Spain
or Princess Helen OF Orleans. Queen
Pia, while fully dressed, swan out into
the sea at La Granja some years ago
and rescued two children whose boat
had been capsized by heavy sea.
Her son, the present king of Portu-
gal, ought by rights to wear one of
these medals as well, having last year
personally interviewed in struggle be-
tween two men and saved the life of the
weaker of the two, in addition to hold
ing the would-be murderer until assist
ance could be procured.
King Oscar of Sweden wears life
saving medal, granted him before he
assembled the throne by Emperor Ma
poleon III. He has the right to wear
several medals of this sort, for the act
OF courage thus recognized by the
French ruler is by no means the only
service to humanity rendered by the
royal Anak.
The feat which won him the medal
was the stopping, on the Corniche road,
of pair ofrunaway horses which were
on the point of precipitating them
selves, along with the carriage and its
occupants, over q precipiee upon the
rocks many hundred feet below
At another time he plunged into the
water to save boy from drowning at
Nice; and while serving in the Swedish
navy he sprang overheard one very
squally night to save a sailor who had
fallen into the sea.
His son, Prince Oscar, wears a Swed-
ish medal for saving the life Of a drown
ing man whose boat had been eapsized
by a sudden puff in the port of Karls-
krona.
Almost identically the same feat was
performed two years ago by the gigan-
tic Prince George of Greece, who dived
from the quarterback of man-of-war
anchored in the Bay Of PiNeus to rescue
q sailor. He has likewise been specially
decorated by the emperor Of Russia for
preserving the tsarovitz from death in

FRIGHTENED THE HooDLuMs.
A Snowballing Gang in Cross Street De-
feated by Strategy.

Snowballing Gang in n Cross Street De-
teated by Strategy.
THAT was rather neat way friend
of mine got the better of hoodlum
gang of snowballers one day recently"
said Hornby at the club, according to
the New York Sun. There were about
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession OF a
block on one of the cross streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snOwballed out of it, and
the drivers and their horses were mer-
cilessly pelted. Whenever a policeman
would come in sight lookouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
ror would begin there. If man de-
cided to chase one part Of the gang the
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack SO terrific that Is
nine cases out of ten he would be glad
to flee for his safety,
This friend of nine happened along
when such a bombardment was going
on, and he saw a man wild with rage
escape with hat gene and clothes be-
spattered from head to foot. Now il
was necessary for my friend to go into
that street to serve legal paper. He
saw the householders crowding to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn came not only must he
run the gauntlet Of terrific fire, but
he must be subjected to the ridicule
end laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went IN. lie
had been particular to notice heap of
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hot was soon knocked off and
the snowbaIls were pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. lie
made FOR that heap of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and just as he
reached II and iustns ball struck HIM
on the head near one OF his ears he
threw up his hands and fell into that
snow as if he had been knocked uncon-
scious.
''He had planned this from the start.
There were cries from the spectators,
and shouts that the man had been
killed. Instantly every one Of those
street Arabs led, and IN the twinlsing
of an eye not one was to be seen. 1t
was an easy matter for my friend to
pull himself together again, and then
he went on Enmolested."

Berlin Public kitchens.


These popular establishments are
described by George s. Layard in the
Nineteenth Century. Apublic kitchen
for the working classes was Inaug-
urated in 1866 by a German woman,
Han Morgenstein. She has estab
lished many of these kitchens, each
one having a public dining room, COM
fortably warmed and furnished, and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from three
hundred to fouI hundred people with
daily meals, is managed by local
committee, the whyle scheme being
under the control of central council.
All the paid cooks are on the premises
by six in the morning, and the vege-
tables and meat have been brought in
before them. Waste of any kind is
strictly forbidden. A subscription Of
three thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars was sufficient to start this
scheme; the reserve fund set aside for
providing new kitchens increases
every year, while the council pays fair
wages and is able to pension off its old
servants. For a sum varying from
three to six cents the Berlin workman
can obtain satisfactory meal at any
of these restaurants. A dinner for
four cents allows basin of thick, SUBJ
stantial German SOUP plate of veg
etables and plate of pudding, and
a roll of bread in addition costs lit
tie over one-quarter of cent.

A FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
The Kind of Money Paid Ont and Received
Ey the Treasury.

by the Treasury.
The Bulletin has been asked, if with
a revenue equal to or in excess of cur
rent expenditures the gold reserve
may not lie maintained without re-
course to borrowing. Our correspond
ent argues tina. il the revenues were
equal TO the needs of the treasury
enough gold would be paid into the
treasury to enable the treasury to
meet all demands without drawing
upon tho reserve. The folly of this
reasoning lies in the fact that the rev.
enues of the government are not paid
in the kind of money that its expend-
itures are paid in. There is no reve-
nue. due the treasury that may not be
paid ia silver, silver certificates, legal
tender or Sherman treasury notes.
When there is a difference in CONNER
cial value between kinds of money
that are receivable for government
dues, the bulk of such dues
will be paid in the cheaper
kind. The government might, there
fore, receive in some kind of receiva-
BILE money a dollar for each dollar it
had to pay out, and yet not possess the
kind of money in which its debts must
be paid. II all government dues were
payable in gold, as all government ex-
penditures are held to be, revenue
equal to expenditures would protect
the gold reserve. The remedy lies either
in making government dues payable in
gold or in paying debts with silver
The former policy would in effect re-
peal the Bland-Allison act of 1878, and
thus establish gold monometa etallism by
law, while the other would recognize
silver as money Of ultimate redemp-
ton and thus practically establish BIZ
metallism. San Francisco Bulletin.
