English ROYAL Incomes.

Princess Beatrice will continue to
draw her income of $50, 900 a year,
as 1t WAS made a life grant at the
time OF her marriage. By the death
of the Duke of Clarence his brother
and sisters gained i'll income, as the
$3.50, 600 n year voted for the Prince
of Wales children continued all the
same. This provision must servo
them during the present reign,
whether their state be married or
single, with children or without.
The Duke of York had no extra al
lowance on his marriage, in spite of
his important position in the direct
line. The deaths which lost money
to tho royal family were that of the
late prince consort, whose yearly
81 80, 600 ceased; that of the Princess
Alice, whose $50, 600 year, as
queen s daughter, was not continued
to her German children, and that of
the Duke of Albany, whose 1926, 900
n year, as queens son, dropped i'm
mediately and was but partly re-
placed by $50, 600 a year from the
nation to his widow.

A Tramps' Parndise.

A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript says that Australia is q
paradise for tramps. They comprise
about one-quarter of the population
and spend their life in travelling
from one little colony or station, ~
as it is called, to another The name
"sundowner" is applied to them for
the reason that the suns setting is
q signal for their coming. The sta
lions" being so far apart-20 or 80
miles or even more-the people have
not the heart to send them adrift to
the bush, to go hungry for the night,
and they are recognized as a neces-
sary evil. The we'll to do farmers
have usually travellers hut, " and
regular rations are served out to
these wayfarers, a pound of the in
eVitable mutton, pannikin or dip
per of flour, the water bag refilled
and bunk for the night.

A Nautical Yarn.

Admiral En- bon told the following
story on the late Admiral Gregory
when the latter was captain in the
navy. The latter was serving in
European waters and had taken his
ship into Malta. where British ship
was lying. The idea of hospitality
in those days was to entertain man
until either host or guest went un-
der the table, and the work was not
considered we'll done until this had
been accomplished. They kept
changing the officers on Captain
Gregory when he went to call on the
English officers, and, seeing that he
would not be able to stand the strain
of the brandy, the American quietly
raised his glass and let the liquor
down inside his old fashioned stock
necktie. He kept this up until the
British captain was taken to bed by
his steward. Then Captain Gregory
called for a fresh bottle of brandy,
took another, smoked a pipe, went
on deck, talked with the officer of
the watch and was rowed back to
his ship. The next day when the
Englishman awoke he called the
officer of the watch and asked him
when Captain Gregory left the ship.
Told the hour, he said. well, was
he sorewed?'-a nautical term of q
particular condition. He was told
that the American was sober. Then
he sought his cabin steward and
asked the same question. mo, sir, +"
remarked the steward. He was all
right, but 1 never did see q man
sweat as he did, sir. New York

Guests Had Provided Themselves
With Little Life Preservers.
From the New York Press.
At one Of the most fashionable country
places within twenty miles of New York.
where every one is high ap," and where
no business of any kind is allowed. not
even the erection of a market, a picnic was
recently held. In the course of the after
noon the weather grew cool. 1t was an af-
fair for grown-up people. The children
had been left at home. 1t was one of those
social functions the like of which Ward
McAllister instituted at Newport. Some
man mentioned a drink, but said: 81 don't
suppose any member of this party except
myself had the courage to bring along a
flask" No sooner had he hauled out his
than every other layman I'm the party
flashed his. at which there was a general
laugh. The ladies especially enjoyed it,
One of the men remarked that II was a
pity the women could not carry TASKS SO
that the drinks might be longer. whereupon
every blessed woman In the crowd pulled
out flask. They were beautifully enam-
eled things in gold and silver and precious
stones. The sally that greeted this amaz-
ing exhibition-every married man In the
party knew his wife had a fask-was
turned to a laugh at the expense Of the dig
nified rector, who was present. He stood
it for some time, then nearly broke I'D the

Great Remedial Tribunal.
The Equity Court is the one having juris-
Giictior of divorce cases; 1t is the tribunal
where Smith must appear when he wishes
to change his name to that of Jones, and
it is also the one which dissolves business
as well as marital partnerships. and en-
forces the collections of mechanics liens
and judgments not otherwise collectibe.
Then, tCo, it is the court to be sought when
the curing of a defective title is desired.
or when the specific performance OF a con-
tract is wanted or the appointment of
receiver or the abatement of a public nuis
ance is asked. 1t Is also the court which
authorizes inquiries into the mental cond!-
tion of alleged lunatics. Indeed, the Equity
Court Is the great remedial tribunal of this
Jurisdiction, as well as the guardian OF
children and of insane persons; and, while
1t can enjoin civil proceedings, 1t cannot
restrain criminal prosecutions. Before one
can go into an Equity Court one must do
equity-that is, one must not enter 1t with
unclean hands-for its motto is that of the
golden rule, DO unto others as ye would
have them do unto YOU, Then, having
done equity, one may demand It.
The person filing suit in the Equity
Court is termed a complainant. in most
cases, because Of the fact that in insti-
tuting such suit he first files a statement
sworn to, of course. which statement Is
called bill Of complaint In other words
the suitor complains to the court that such
and such things have happened or will hap
pen, as the case may be. and that he being
without remedy elsewhere, prays, the court
that the person or persons complained of
may be required to answer his bill Of COM
plaint. and that he (the complainanD may
then have the particular relief asked for
and sucn other and further relief as the
court may be pleased to grant him.

is termed the petitioner; but the person
