From the Pit5sburg Dispatch.
Ne do not say that it is likely to hap
90, in our day, but if perehance the ma
IONS of the world were 10 undergo politi-
o.1 rsconstruction and it were found expe-
d,e7t 60 dispense with the ruling power of
r,ysltv. and the hard decree was pro-
,l,imed that royalties of whatsoever rank
and desree were henceforth 10 earn their
avn living. it would De particularly inter-
se,inr 20 know how some of our princes
and nrincesses would get on.
As matter OF fact. the majority of
them would not be cornered, as many sup
nose: indeed, a glance through this article
will supply convincing proof enough that
roost OF the present-day royalties have ar
their fingers ends pretty lucrative trades
and professions, which they are now pur-
suos merely for the amusement of the
thing.
For instance, the Shah of Persia has
animated a taste for drawing, and so.
.uanored of the art is he that a room is
now specially reserved for his use in the
palace at Teheran. The apartment as pa
pered with white paper. and nothing de-
Urbts the Persian monarch so much as
sketching on the walls. When the four
walls ATE all drawn over, the room is re-
papered and he starts afresh. The Shah
could with ease start business. as draw
ing master.
The Prince of Monaco spends his time on
hoard the Hirondelle studying science and
inyenting all sorts of marine instruments.

The Sultan of Turkey spends money.

els Their worth is estimated at SSO00,OO0.
Next to his mania for jewels, theatrical
| representations rank highest. If Abdul
were obliged to turn TO, like other roy
s,tes. he could earn a first class living as
pianist.
The Empress of Austria is never so hap
py as when she is climbing the mountains
q her beautiful country with her perspir-
ins and breathless ladies in the rear fol-
lowing her, and when not climbing the
gifted lady thinks lightly of walking thir
~ miles day.
on these excursions she is always ac-
companied by one or two court ladies,
some domestics following behind with
victuals; and whether or not you are able
TO keep up with her majesty, etiquette
obliges you TO do SO. Under the new con-
dtions of the political world she could be-
come a money making pedestrian.
But this is not the royal lady's only fad
or hobby She has never been known to
wash her hair and yet she has the finest
head of hair of any royal lady in Europe.
1t is well brushed through daily, while
secret lotion is employed and seven
brushes, are brought into. use.
The Queen of Sweden, who dresses in
the uniform of the Salvation Army, of
which she is member, might become one
/ Of the S. A. staff.
/ Princess Marie wife of Prince Waldo
mar of Denmark, has a startling kind of
hobby. Nothing apparently pleases her
more than 10 be photographed in the raj
ment OF the opposite sex. Her last adven-
/ ture in this respect was her photograph,
4 taken in a fireman's uniform, helmet and
4 all. hobby like this might be carried
to an alarming extent, but would be- new
ertheless, useful in case of necessity.
The Pope's hobby is the Edison phono,
graph, and next 10 thai chess. The SOW
eeign pontin daily turns on the phono
graph and listens with delight to the ora
IONS of Mr.. Gladstone. the speeches of
two American ex-Presidents, and the
songs of Patti. His holiness has regu-
/ iarly played chess with Father GieHa for
tnirty-two years past, and if occasion
arose might win more than the means
Of livelihood at the game.
Portugaps fair Queen is renowned for
her fidelity TO the charms of Lady Nico,
une in the form of a cigarette while out
SIDE the palace. She has cultivated the
art OF swimming, and already has saved a
ehild's life. Ii fell into the Tagus, and
Inc Queen jumped in after It, and amid
me profoundest sensa ton, rescued ii from
watery grave. If compelled 10, her ma
esty could earn a fair competency as an
alatic performer.

Shristian could go out tomorrow on her
Vulnerable diplomas as hospital nurse
lPrincess Beatrice has just secured the
t9id medal of the 81. Johns Ambulance
association, having passed the final ex-
pinadon of the institution. One wonders
WY royal Princess, who is hardly at
qly time of her life face to face with
ne hustle of the world, and its many
street. dangers, should devote time, care
Hd study in perfecting herself in these
t,complshments-but then, IL is merely a
l'bby, and if her royal highness found
necessary, she could more than sup
ict herself and her family on her earn
