taking the. 500 at ,HaWkinson. Nd.
and coming homeward via this line to
Paynsville and to ST. Cloud. On
the whole Col. Westerman considers
the crop prospects good. The best
fields seen by him on his trip were be-
tween St. Cloud and Fergus Falls. In
the Red River valley where the lands
are we'll drained crops are excellent,
but there is much low land which has
suffered from the excessive moisture.
Between Fergus Falls and Minor ting
crops are inferior in appearance and
also along the 500 to. those on the
Fergus Falls division of the Great
Northern. Speaking of the crops
trough South Dakota, Col. Wester-
man said he regarded them on the
whole as but fair. Harvest has com
menced everywhere in the region COW
cred by him, except in the Red River
valley. The grains are green in
places, owing to the wet weather. but
between this point and Fergus Falls
harvest is on in full blast.

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

payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the excheQuer 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 SO, O6O, 900 per an
mum. The queen receives instead Of
this revenue 81, 925, 900 and the rest of
the royal family 81, 100000. Therefore
the total cost of monarchy to the tax
payer is 1895, 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.
That abject funky Lord Butte, wish
ing to curry favor with George III, in
serted in the civil list act which was
passed on that monarch's accession a
remuneration by him of the crown lands,
and this remuneration by a sovereign Of
what he did not possess is the basis of
the theory of these crown lands being
the private property of the occupant of
the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael
Hicks Beach's own figures, monarchy
costs England $2,985,0OO The real
amount is, however, much higher, for
there are numberless expenses incidental
to the institution which he does not in
clude. The hard fact remains that in
France the presid68 receives $500. 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 $1,000, 900 than
1000, 900 francs. A defense, therefore,
Of monarchy on the ground of economy
hardly holds water.

Through the efforts of VIM. \. Ken
nedy, of the University of Wisconsin,
a centre of the association has been
organized in this city, and will hold
it's first meeting on September 9th, at
the parlors of the Congregational
church. A regularly prescribed
course of study will be taken up, fol-
lowing syllabus furnished by the
central society, and pursued along
the lines of study which obtain in uni
versity instruction. The topic for
the first year is history-commencing
with that of ancient Egypt. Weekly
meetings will be held, and the indica-
lions are that it will be the most val
liable effort ever assayed in the way
of literary organization in this city.

A Successful Book Club

An excellent idea to copy for towns and
villages which lack the essentials of q
good circulating library is the plan
which has been in successful operation
in Yonkers for nearly twentyfour years.
This is the Yonkers Book club, which Is
really a circulating travelling library,
limited, however, to the members of the
club and their families. In 1874 num-
ber of ladies met to devise some system
of acquiring the benefits of circulating
library, sadly lacking in Yonkers at that
time. The result was the Book club
composed of twenty-four members One
of these is the librarian, and at the first
of the year she gives to each member
two books. recently published, of recog-
nized merit in fiction. history, art, or
other departments of literature, and
these, in turn, are forwarded in regular
order to the other members on the 1st
and 18th days of each month. New books
of especial interest are added during the
year, so that about sixty volumes are
kept in constant circulation. So success
full has the Book club been and 80 ably
managed, that it's membership could be
more than doubled, but the origina,
number is adhered to, and new members
are only received when vacancies occur
