INCOMES OF EUROPEAN MONARcHs.
The Gar Of Russia Leads With About
S11OOO.OOO.
(London Modern Society

The remarks which we recently made
in Modern Society concerning the
private fortune. landed estates and
speculation of the queen have caused
no little flutter in court circles. where
the accuracy of our information is
recognized. The truth is, that such a
lot of nonsense is now written on this
subject before we took it up that the
public is now in a complete fog. 1t
was, for instance. said, some years ago,
that the queen owned some 600 odd
houses in various parts of England.
not royal residences, but rent yielding
property, and that about 5000 houses
had been built by crown lessees on
building leaseholds held by the queen.
This is sheer nonsense; that is, the
figures are absolutely incorrect. Her
majesty owns nothing like SO many
houses; and. in fact she is following
the general craze and selling her bricks
and mortar fast: advised to do so by
her beloved Macduff.
The income of her majesty is about
f5S5, 600 per annum from the state, and
her private income is very nearly
G260.OO0 per annum, making a nice
total. Her official salary cannot be
said to be enormous when one takes
into consideration the fact that she is
an empress-queen, rules over more peo-
pie and a greater extent of country
than any human being has ever ruled
over before, and that the twopenny-
halfpenny, and comparatively unim-
portant King Humbert of Italy is paid
exactly the same salary by his very
impecunious subjects.
AS matter of fact. our queen gets
but little more than the French people

salary of e43S.00O per annum. But
comparatively little of this is expended
in entertaining, though. of course, NJ.

theatrical Devices.

The intense little world of the stage re-
quires many devices in order to produce
different scenes that surround the vari-
Gus human actions represented.
On one of Joe Jefferson'S professional
trips to Atlanta, Ga. the company ar
rived late in the afternoon and found the
property man too i'll to come to the
theatre With his wonted good nature,
Mr.. jefferson assumed the part. and went
to looking up the necessary matters. The
play was THE Heir at Law. and in one
scene. a churn was necessary. The
theatre did not boast such an article, and
the stores were closed. Never mind,
said Mr.. Jefferson. Bring me two hat
boxes and markng-pot.' These Were
forthcoming, and the star actor speedily
took out the bottoms, pinned the boxes
together, and painted on them lines 10

But Mr.. Polk was surprised to receive

OF Interest to Cyclers.

"Scorchers" are not plentiful in Chi
cago, owing to the fact that the major
portion of the Windy City's bicycle
men have adopted a plan which is cal.
culated to either make or break the
hearts of those who have wonderful
records off the track. There is a half
mile asphalt track in Chicago. on which
races may be held, at which no admis-
sion is charged, where ''scorchers'' car
scorch to their hearts content The
other cities would do well to follow, OF
holding bicycle meets. not for the
money there is in it, but for the spor,
derived from them.
The number of patents issued to citi-
zens of this country for improvements
on the bicycle during the last quarter
exceeds the number issued in the pre-
vious three months by almost 300. The
total number of applications bearing
on cycling was 100. Tires were re-
sponsible for $50: general construction,
200; brakes. So: saddles, So; the chain.

cycles, chainless bicycles, hill climbers
and other ideas figure largely. The
patent fever has afflicted both sexes.
and it has been estimated that two
thirds of the patents issued are value

Wheelmen everywhere want good
roads. and to their efforts can be traced
many fine thoroughfares that would
not be in existence today but for their
agitation. At the next annual meeting
of the League of American Wheelmen,
to be held in Albany in February, an
entire day will be devoted to the dis
cussion of good roads, There will be
speakers from all sections of the coun-
try, and a most interesting and instruc-
tive meeting it should prove to be.
Last February. at the annual meeting
in Baltimore, the good roads conven-
ton was inaugurated, and it easily
proved to be one of the features of the
assembly. The discussions were highly
entertaining, and it was resolved at
that time to make the good roads ses-
sion more of a feature in the future.
With this purpose in view. the entire
first day and evening of the national
assembly of delegates will be devoted
to one subject. The day will end with
a banquet, at which gentlemen prom
inent in public affairs will be present
and speak.

Tobacco and Soap.

When Bishop Taylor of the Methodist
Episcopal church. first went to Afrlea he
found that the currency of the country
over which he had the spiritual oversight
was tobacco. Everything was valued III
tobacco, and bought and sold with to
bacco.
The good bishop did not like this use OF
the devils weed" and he determined to
find a substitute. He was not bothered
with any financial question about hard
and soft, sound or unsound money; nor
did the question of redemption of his
legal tenders distract him. He simply
desired to find some useful article winch
could be put up in small packages that
could take the place of tobacco as a me
dunn in exchange.
He decided to try soap. Probably the
idea was inspired by the crying necessity
for greater cleanliness Of the natives.
Any way the project was success.
The bishop in his sermons deprecatei
the use of tobacco and extolled the mel
its of soap and instructed his preachers
to do the same. He imported large guam
titles of soap in tasteful packages, and
introduced it as the medium of trade.
Now not only has tobacco been driven
from the field as poor money. and tn
soap taken it's place. but the habit of to-
bacco chewing has given way to the bet
ter habit of cleanliness, which has been
not inaptly described as something akin
TO godliness.'
The suggestion of a change from to-
bacco to soap might be profitably made
to many people in civilized countries,
with as good results as in Africa.

W hat the Figures show.



These figures make certain several things
of more than passing interest For in
stance:
/. That there was no popular landslide liz
behalf OF Mckinley.
?. That the plurality OF the republican
candidate was not the 200 900 predicted.
nor the 500 900 figured out by the Eastern
press. but only 500 ,666.
3. 1t is not the largest plurality ever re-
ceived by a candidate for the presidency
being below Grants in 1872, but little over
his in 1865 and but little over Lincoln's in
1860 and Buchanan's In 1856.
4. That the tabular statement invented
by the New York World and made the
basis OF all newspaper estimates Ia an ar
rant fake.
.. That the democratic party, represented
by those who voted for It's presidential cun-
didate, was defeated by very narrow mar
Gin and
