CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE PRUDENCE OF ROYALTY

THE PRUDENCE OF ROYALTY.
During the past century the virtue Of
prudence has been impressed upon the
royal families of Europe. When, one
century ago, the great Napoleon ran
over Europe at will, running kings
around the country with the same alac-
rity with which a policeman can put to
flight a group of free-lunch eaters, they
became aware of the fact that the di-
vine right Of kings often lacks substan-
tiality, and that ii was well to have
something hid, out OF reach, in the
event of a sudden call to abdicate or the
approach OF a rabid body Of revolution
lists.
Queen Victoria has always saved a
considerable portion of her annuities,
which she has well invested in all parts
of the world This became necessary in
her instance because, added to the dan
ger which always surrounds royalty,
she had large and impecunious family
to provide for. When to these were
added sons and daughters-in-law,. VINO
came empty-handed expecting to be
provided for out OF English bounty, her
majesty's prudence became a virtue.
Another royal magnate, who has not
heeitated to enter the stock board and
TO try his hand at market gambling, is
King George of Greece. King George
is a Dane, the son OF the present king
of Denmark, where even royalty has a
hard time OF making ends meet. Living
is somewhat more prodigal in Athens,
but there is an uncertainty about the
people which is very annoying. The
result Is that King George has estab-
lished for himself immense estates in
countries removed from Danish courts,
from Turkish advances and from Greek
revolutions.
The royal house OF Romanof, how
ever, bears the palm as the accumulat-
ing family Of Europe. The immense
income which comes to the different
members OF the family is formed into
royal trust amounting to over $1,000,
600 a year. Over q 900 900 acres of
land belong to the royal family, all OF
which is managed by a special bureau
which supports forty-siX grand dukes
and duchesses, furnishing them with
their allowances and keeping them
within bounds. The purpose of this is
TO make the fund certain and secure
and to keep enough to meet the large
annual increase OF the family, which is
something wonderful.
| After ALL royalty cannot be blamed
for securing a sufficiency to meet its
wants in the event that its services are
dispensed with by the people, and It is
a sign OF the time coming when such an
event will take place.-Atlanta COnsti-

COOKING TONGUES.
Something That Every Housekeeper
Does Not Know.

Something That Every Housekeeper
Does Not Know.
Every good housekeeper knows how
to soak and boil a smoked beef tongue,
but a great many cooks treat a fresh
tongue in such manner that it be-
comes as hayorleSs as gelatine.
Properly roasted or braised in stock,
a fresh beef or calf's tongue is a de-
hcious meat. 1t Is not remarkable for
its nutritious qualities, but, like the
tenderloin of beef, the meat is of good
flavor if it is carefully cooked and
seasoned, and it is always of melting
tenderness.
Select a fresh beef tongue for roast
ing. Wash and trim It thoroughly, and
season it with salt and pepper. Wrap a
paste around it made of a pint Of -four
and u cupful of water. Roll out this
paste thin and wrap it around the
tongue. Lay it on meat rack in a
dripping pan, with a pintof boiling wa
ter. Roast it for about two hours
Keep the surface OF the paste from
drying too hard or from burning by
basting it with the boiling water in the
bottom of the dripping pan. At the
end of this time remove the paste. 1t is
of no further value. Loosen, the skin of
the tongue and peel it off. 1t should
come off easily. Lay It back in the pan,
rub it freely with butter, dredge il
lightly with -four, and pour q little rich
brown stock in the pan under it TO baste
1t with. Roast it, busting it often, until
it is well Drowned. Take it up. Add
mushrooms TO the brown gravy in the
dripping pan, thicken it and serve with
the tongue. The mushrooms, Of course
may be omitted, but they add a great
deal to the flavor of the tongue. Spinach
is a delicious vegetable to serve with
roast tongue. Pickles and piquant
sauces are always appropriate.-N. y

JoPKINs. MISTAKE.
Cost Him "A New Dress and n Pretty
Bonnet.

Cost him "A New Dreas and n Pretty
Bonnet.
Jopkins had read somewhere that if
a woman got hold of newspaper with
a clipping cut out of it, she would
never rest until she had procured a
complete paper and read the missing
item. This struck Joplins as a very
shrewd and Machiavelian plan of ex-
posing this well-known weakness OF
lovely woman, and he resolved to put
it into practice.
So that night, when he went home
from the Office, there ostentatiously
protruded from his coat pocket the
days paper. from which he had neatly
cut a paragraph referring to the rings
of Jupiter or some such matter.
He threw the paper to one side in
careless way, and after supper he noted
with an unholy glee that Mrs. Joplins
had secured il. and was running her
eye over the bargain ads, and work
ing her way, after the manner of her
sex, through the personals, marriage
notices, and back to the telegraphic
dispatches.
Presently Jopkins observed sudden
and suspicious frown overcast her face.
She had come upon the hiatus made by
the waggish penknife. Jopkins reveled
with internal hilarity, but preserved an
outward appearance of innocent uncon-
seriousness.
My DEAR" said Mrs. Jopkins, laying
the paper gently aside, I'm going to
run over TO Mrs. Hopkins a minute. !
won't be gone long"
She went over to the opposite neigh
boris, and while she was gone Joplins
had lots of fun. She came back pres
emily. and Jopkins noticed she carried
another paper under her shawl. She
went upstairs and Jopkins leaned back
in his chair and shook all over with joy.
BEST joke l ever got off," he said to
himself. Wont she be sold when
tell her?'
Mrs. .Jopkinsremained upstairs about
20 minutes, and when she came down
she hadon her hat and street dress, and
Jopkins felt his knees shake when he
looked into her eye.
'Wh-where are you going?" he asked.
"Where am l going?" said his wife.
'You want to know where lam going,
you deceitful, disreputable, underhand-
cd. depraved, villainous, brutal, wicked
unprincipled, scandalous, abandoned
monster? I'm going home to my moth
er!"
"Wha-what's the matter?" said Jop-
l1ins.
"Look at that!" said Mrs. Jopkins
thrusting the paper in his face. Cut il
out to hide it from me, did you? Tc
think that l should ever have married
such a rufilan!"
Joplins looked where her finger
pointed and read:
after the performance of 'Th,
DEVILS Auction last night quite q re
cherche little supper was given 20 tn,
leading lady actresses 10Y q few of theii
admirers. a prominent merchant
whose name we withhold issaid to hav,
cut up some rather high jinks on tn,
occasion. We wonder if his estimab bl,
and charming wife knew of his where
abouts."
A cold shiver ran over JoplIins. II,
was innocent, but he had neglected L
read the other side Of the clipping whei
he cut it out. He began to explain, anC
the millOman says he was still at 1t whel
he called with his regular morning
supply of chemicals.
As Mrs. Joplins was seen a week lat
er wearing an elegant new silk dress
to say nothing of "a dream of a bon
net" tits presumed that the matter wa
satisfactorily arrangedI-Tit-Bits.

Girls Expect Too Much of Young Ien.

Girls Expect Too Much of Young men,
The average young man is the agree
able fellow who earns enough money
to take care of himself and put by lit
tie for special occasions. But he is not
n millionaire, and he is not the young
man drawn by those illustrators who,
in black and white, give US so-called
society sketches. a combination of
foolish influences makes the girl Of to-
day expect entirely too much from the
young man of to-day. She reads, or is
told. that when a young man is en-
gagged to be married he sends his
fiancee so many pounds of sweets. so
many boxes of flowers, as well as all
the new books and nll the new music
that may appear each week. If
there were more honest girls in this
world-honest in their treatment of
young men-there would be a greater
number OF marriages and fewer thieves.
Yes, mean exactly what say. II IS
the expectation on the part of foolish
girl that a man should Go more than
he can honestly, that has driven many
men TO the penitentiary, and many
more to live lives of so-called single
blessedness.-Ruth Ashmore, in La
dies Home Journal.

THE TIGER is KING.

New York has gone Democratic. The
the state as a result of their dissensions.
Finding that he could not elect Tracy.
and not daring to permit the Republican
reformers to elect Low, Platt did the
next best thing and Joined forces with
Croker to elect Van Wyck, the Tam
many candidate for mayor. The indi-
cations are that the fight between the
Platt and anti-Platt men has also given
the Democrats control of the General
Assembly.
One of the surprising features of the
New York vote is the insignifcance Of
the vote for the Henry George ticket.
Making all allowance for the falling Off
OF the vote due to the death OF Henry
George, it is still apparent that there
was never a time since Tracy and Low
entered the field in opposition to each
other when the Tammany ticket was
not sure of election by a good round
majority. To every one vote for Henry
George, Van Wyck has received H.,
Low, s, and Tracy, 6. In other words
only one in every thirty-one votes has
been cast for the candidates OF the Sim
gle Takers. The party was buried in the
casket of Henry George. and is mourn
ers went to Tammany for consolation.
Had the Republicans united on either
Tracy or Low they would have carried
the day, for Van Wyck's vote is 10000
or 10000 under their combined vote,
but the sweet little angel who sits up
aloft and keeps watch DER the life of
Tammany set the Republicans to fight
ing with results most gratifying to the
Democrats.
The election of Van Wyck is regarded
as a striking commentary on the inn
potency of New York newspapers in in
fuencing elections. He was practically
without newspaper support, all Of the
daily newspapers earnestly opposing
him up to within a few days of the elec-
tion, and then only one accorded him
its support.
Out of half a million votes cast the
Henry George men only polled $4,000.
The Tammany Tiger can now gorge
itself on the spois. It is entitled to all
It can get, for the people OF New York
have spoken in a most emphatic man
ner, and in the matter of the admin
istration Of their domestic affairs theii
voice should be accepted as final ant
conclusive The enemies of Tammany
nave held ii up TO the voters in it'
worst possible light, but the voters have
disregarded the warnings and are per
fectly satisfied to trust their lives, lib
critics and fortunes to one of the wors
vllined political organizations in tn
world.
In all other states in which election
were held there has been a marked fall
ing off in the Republican vote. Thi
demonstrates that the Republican fail
ure TO bring the promised prosperity I
the country is having the effect OF rein
stating the Democratic party in tn
confidence of the people.
