ENGLISH ROYALTY.
What It Is Said to Cost the British Tax
payer Yearly.

payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the excheouer went
out of his way recently, says Labou-
chere, in London Truth, to explain how
little the monarchy costs England. The
crown lands, he said, belong to the SOW
ereign and produce 50, 06O,O 900 per an
mum. The queen receives instead of
this revenue 81, 925, 900 and the rest of
the royal family 81, 060, 600. Therefore
the total cost Of monarchy to the tax
payer is $925, 900. The entire calcula-
ton proceeds on the erroneous assump-
ton that the crown lands are the pri-
vate property of the sovereign. This
they are not They originally formed a
portion Of the general revenue Of the
country, out Of which came the main
tenanoe Of the sovereign.

the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael

costs England 2.985, 900. The real
amount is, however, much higher. for

clude. The hard fact remains that in
France the presidS4 receives 5000. 600
per annum and fulflls with decent
splendor all the duties of the head Of
the state, while with England the mon-
archy costs nearer e1,000.O 900 than

of monarchy on the ground Of economy

should be chiefly of gilt, on the white
ground, touch of color being given by
a dainty pink, blue or green, forming
the main decoration on the top of each
oval Except the central ones), and out
lined with gilt, as also are the broken
lines of the mosaic pattern.
The Napoleonic wreaths are of course
green, but the ribbons should match
the color used in the other decorations.
The heading about the central open
ings is also gilt.
A pretty variation of this design may
consist of a vine of leaves, forget-me-
nots, pink rosebuds, or any flower de-
sired, inclosing the rim of the oval,
which latter still remains gilt, the
flowers being added to the design as
it now appears.
When the painting is finished the por-
traits should be glued into position,
and the whole framed in passepartout,
the glass being securely held by a linen
tape which, when bound about the
edge, lasts longer than paper and may
be either left white or glided to match
the rest of the design.
On the back, which should be of thin
bristol board, fasten with loops of the
linen tape, two little brass rings to
hang the frame by, and ask all the mem
bers of the group to place their auto
graphs in this space, and in this way
may be obtained a pretty, durable and
exceedingly inexpensive souvenir of a
happy occasion. If more elaborate
frame be desired the same general de-
sign may be reproduced in embroidery,
using gold thread instead of gliding,
and working upon white satin a bit of
the brides gown if possible. - Olga

QUEEN OF THE DUTCH
WLHELMlNA SOON TO ASSUME THE
THRONE.

Next Year Ennas Regency WIN End.
Some Anecdotes That show the Char
acter of the Girl oueen-TO Choose a
Husband For Herself.
This is the last year of the regency
in Holland. When next the parliament
of the Netherlands is opened at The
Hague, it will not be by the German
Emma, the queen regent, but by Will
helmina, no longer koninginnet, ''the
little queen, " for on Aug. 81, 1898, she
will attain her majority and be formal
1y crowned queen of the Netherlands.
Wilhelmina is now in her eighteenth
year and is consequently just entering
womanhood. For seven years she has
been known as 1.-the girl queen. Now
she is soon be become a real queen. The
Dutch look forward to the time when
she shall assume the scepter of authori-
ty with genuine pleasure, for although
they have come to like the queen moth
er better than they did at first they can
never quite forget that she is of German
birth, and if there is one thing which
the Hollanders value more than anoth-
er it is their independence of Germany.
Wilhelmina is the daughter of Will
liam III of the Netherlands, who died
in 1890. He was a royal old rogue, who
led a most disgraceful life up to the
time he was 81, when he married Prin-
cess Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont. The
girlhood of the little queen has been
passed in one of the other of the seven
palaces which belong to the throne of
the Netherlands. 1t has not been the
happy, careless childhood which most
girls know, for the little Dutch maiden
has had to study hard to fit herself to
be a queen. Up to the time she was Z
or years of age she had a French gov
erness. but since then her education has
been in charge of Miss Winter, an Eng
1ish governess.
No one probably, unless it be the
queen regent, knows what a firm will
of her own or what a proud spirit has
this young woman better than Miss
Winter. On one occasion when the gov
erness tried to punish her by making
her royal pupil draw map of Europe
the little queen handed in sketch in
which there was an exaggerated Hol-

GOLD STANDARD FOR INDIA
That is the Next Step in the Fight
Against Silver

London, Oct. 27-The Times published
this morning a letter from Henry Dun
ming Mcleod on the adoption of the gold
standard for India, in the course of which
letter the writer says: 1T was estimated
twenty years ago that sixty million
pounds sterling worth of gold would be
required at that time to restore the IN
dian currency to a gold basis. More
would be required now. But it is esti-
mated that at least 100000 sterling of
gold is now boarded in India, which will
be brought out if the Indian minis are
kept closed to silver, while the ratio of
the sovereign to the rupee is adjusted to
the present value of the rupee
The Times, commenting upon Mr.. Nc
Leod's letter, says:
1.-The public is not in possession of the
facts upon which the Indian govern
ment's decision that it is possible to adopt
the gold standard is based; but if this is
within the bounds of possibility it ought
to be carried into effect. For it would
relieve business all over the world from
the disquieting effect of bimetallist agi-
tation and intrigue

FROM wILHELMINA's LATEST PHOTOGRAPH.
land, while the British isles were rep
resented by mere dots in white waste
labeled Atlantic ocean.
On another occasion, when she was
not more than 10 years old, Wilhelmina
knocked at the door of her mothers
room.
"Who is it?'' asked the queen regent.
1.-THE queen of the Netherlands, was
the imperiOus reply.
There was no response, and after
awhile Wilhelmina knocked again. This
time, in answer to the same question,
she replied, cit is your daughter.
Then the door opened.
''You see, my dear, said the mother
in gentle rebuke, II am not always
prepared to receive the queen, but to
my daughter my door is never closed. "
Although naturally democratic and
republican in their instincts the Hol-
landers are intensely loyal to their
young queen. Much of this loyalty is
due to the wisdom of the queen regent,
who has had the good sense to keep her
self well in the background and to lose
no occasion to keep her daughter before
the public eye. So for several years the
little miss has gone about her tiny
kingdom, laying cornerstOnes, christen-
ing ships and taking part in public ban
quets. Laying cornerstones the little
queen never did like, but of public ban
quets she is very fond. An anecdote is
told concerning the visit of the German
emperor to The Hague in 1898. Little
Wilhelmina wished to sit up late and
hear the speeches at the big banquet,
but the queen regent would not hear of
it and insisted that she go to bed at
the usual hour. Then the doughty spirit
of William of Orange flashed out. The
child queen stamped her foot and, with
flashing eyes, said, Il will go on the
balcony and tell the Dutch people how
you abuse their queen. " OF course she
did nothing of the kind and the next
day asked her mothers pardon.
From frail, delicate girl Wilhelm
ma has grown to be almost as plump
and strong as the average Dutch maid
en- of her age. As result of her careful
education she is now quite a linguist
and is well equipped in other ways to
assume the reins of government. Al
though there have been rumors of her
betrothal to various European princes
ever since she was little girl of 8, the
important question of who she will
marry has not yet been settled, and
when it is the decision will be made by
Wilhelmina herself.
