tween these amounts can be gained II you
consider one printed line of the Herald as
representing the salary of the Car, then
a period will represent the stipend of the
President of Switzerland, and one-fourth
of the letter IN the pay of PRESIDENT Nc
Kinley Half of line will be the amount
the Emperor of Austria receives, and a
little more than fifth of line what
Great Britain pays to Queen Victoria.
The amounts of the salaries of these
honored men and women bear very odd
relations to the number of persons for
whose benefit they are supposed to ad-
minister laws of their own or the peoples
making. Now, each subject of the Car
has to annually pay As cents to his rul-
er. and stands eighth on the list; while
the Persians. each of whom must yearly
pay to the Shah 30a4 cents. head it. Switz-
erland, with the smallest population and
salary, does not pay the least per capita,
for the United States, with OF of q cent
for each inhabitant, is at the bottom OF
the list, Switzerland being next above.
with .0S of a cent. Turkey, with 20 cents
for each subject naturally comes next
below Persia. and Greece, with IL 2-5
cents, comes next. Then. in the descend
ing scale, come Austria, with 10 2-5 cents
for each subject to pay to the ruler; Bel
gium, 10 1-5 cents; Italy, 9 cents; Norway
and Sweden, cents; then Russia, then
Germany. 6 3-5 cents; Holland, 1-5;
France, s; Great Britain, 3-5. and then
Switzerland and the United States.
Figures alone hardly convey to ordinary
mortals an idea of the amounts of some
of these salaries. Take, for instance, the
S. .766 600 received annually by the Gar.
Put that amount in silver dollars, and
perhaps 1t will carry more of a meaning.
1t would mean 2T4 tons of silver, and II
the dollars were piled in a single column
they would reach thirteen miles. or. If
placed edge to edge would extend 207
miles-one-half of the distance from ST.
Petersburg to Moscow.

one of Mark Twain's odd charac-
II ters, and the answer was not very
satisfactory. If we apply the title
king to each of the chief execu-
tives Of the great nations, there is
no wonder an answer was difficult, for the
paw of rulers varies greatly and is gov
erned by no APPARENT rule of proportion,
unless 1t is that the pay increases with
the liability to assassination. The ex-
tremes of salary are illustrated by the pay
of the Car of Russia and the President
Of Switzerland. The former gets $24,O 900
day, while the latter is happy and salts
fed with 81 90 each twenty-four hours.
These figures are based on 365 working
days in the year, for monarchs are sup
posed to be always working.
Now these executives-of Russia and
SwitzerIan nd-are at the extremes of the
rulers payroll, the first getting sS766 900
wear and the other $4,000. Between these
extremes the other eleven nations consid-
ered are scattered in a haphazard man
ner, with no uniform relation between the
amount of yearly salary and the number
of persons who must pay it. The Emperor
of Austria, with his S4,3S0 900 annually,
comes next under the Car of all the Rus
sias, while President Mckinley, with his
$50 900, comes next above the, President or
little Switzerland. AFTER austria comes

glass, through the shutters, if there are
any, and takes a firm hold on the window

the wall. The bold climber ascends and
snaps his hook ON the top OF the ladder,
swinging backward, his weight sustained
by the belt, his arms free for action. His
comrade below passes up the second lad

window sill of the next story. The leader
goes uD, the other fireman follows, and
