Burden of the Rich.

No sovereign is so rich as the emperor
of Russia and no sovereign has such
heavy calls upon his purse. The Grand
Dukes Vladimir, Alexis, Serge and Paul
Alexandrovitch, as well as the Grand
Duke ael-Nicholejevitch, as the
cons of emperors of Russia, receive
from the head of the house an annual
sum of $4,000 rubles, which, added
to their private means. makes them
very rich. The wives and widows of
Russian grand dukes receive 10000 ru-
bles, their sons $4,000 rubles. 1t was
the late emperor, Alexander I'LL, who
made the rule that every member of the
Russian imperial family must spend a
part of the year in Russia or else lose
a third of his or her allowance.-Chi-
capo Times-Herald.

Picked Peaches.

Allow four pounds of light brown
sugar one pint of best cider vinegar,
one teaspoonful of ground cloves and
four teaspoonfuls of ground cinnamon
(the latter tied in small cheeSecloth
bags) to seven pounds of peeled
peaches. When the sirup comes to a
boil add the peaches and cook slowly
until tender. Use porcelain kettle
for picking when possible. Two-quart
glass jars are best for picking
peaches, and the sirup should entirely
cover the fruit. Some housekeepers
throw away the first sirup in which
they are cooked and make fresh one
to pour over, but this is unnecessary

EXPLANATION OF "s1RDAR."
Interesting Items Concerning the
Egyptian Title Borne by
Kitchener.

In the flood of news which came in
daily over the wire recently about
Fashoda there was a constant refer
ence, an iteration and reiteration of one
word which, while persons who read
might surmise it referred probably to a
title, yet had no positive proof of ex-
actly what it meant. That one wordi
was invariably prefixed to Sir Herbert
Kitchener's name-the sirdar. Now
what meant this word sirdar?
A quarter Of a century ago, or there
abouts. at the time when Great Britain,
by right of might, and not for any
other reason, occupied Egypt and took
the sultan's khedive under it's tutelate.
one of its first acts was to reorganize
the Egyptian army. British officers
were sent to Egypt and placed at the
head of native troops. These officers
drilled the troops, taught them the
manual of arms and gradually instilled
in them that same esprit de corps and
enthusiasm which makes the British
army itself such a compact and formid-
able body. The native troops were al
lowed to retain their colors. their flags
and insignia and all the paraphernaiia
OF WdT ulsilucliNciS lic attiiou'S VI "iA
unconquered people. British states
men went further. They even allowed
the same military titles to remain. 1t
was a tactful thing to do. Britain lost
nothing thereby, and the Egyptian war
riors retained all that was sentimental
ly sacred to them.
Thus, therefore, the very ancient
words, srdar. bimbashi, jougal, etc,
remained in the army. The sirdar of
the Egyptian army is the general in
chief The bimbashi is a major, the
jougoul a captain. Sirdar, literally it
means an officer. is as old an expression
almost as the country of the Pharaohs
itself In Arabic the word means
"head man" There need be little
stretch of the imagination to see how
the term came to be given to the COM
mandant of the Egyptian forces.-Chi-

FOOLED IN A HORSE TRADE.
This Animal Possessed Several Re
marknbIe Traits.

A prominent English landlord was
one day riding across a common ad-
jaccnt to his preserves when he over
took one Of his tenants, who was also
mounted After the usual salutations
they rode on in silence for some min
utes, when the tenant slightly spurred
his horse, balky animal, whereupon
it dropped to its knees
"What's the matter with your
horse?" asked his lordship. The en-
barrasscd tenant remarked by way of
explanation that his stecd always acted
that way when there was game to be
found
A moment later, to the tenants sat
isfaCtion and surprise, a frightened hare
jumped out of some bushes near by.
This so impressed the landlord that
he at once drove bargain by which he
secured the tenant barebacked beast
in exchange for his own fine mount,
perfectly saddled With much agility
the tenant leaped to his new horse, and
all went well until they came to Il
small stream, whereat the landlord 5
new nag immediately balked. A drive
home with the spurs brought it again
to its knees.
"Hello, what's up now? There's no
game here, said his lordship.

The Audience Got Angry.

There was a scene of wild excitement
during the last week of May, 1892, at
the Gaiety, London, and all owing to
the singular behavior of a policeman.
Two popular entertainers were on the
stage, and one of them asked the audi
ence little conundrum, "Why is po-
liceman an utter scoundrel?"
A gentleman i'll blue who was appar
emily on duty in the body of the thea
ter at once took otfense. He jumped on
to the stage and, seizing the offender,
attempted to drag him off.
The audience rose i'll indignation.
Men shook their fists and shouted,
"What has he dOne?" One frenzied
young lady in the front of the gallery
seized a tumbler and would have thrown
it at the policeman if her arm had not
been arrested.
The policeman then dragged his cap
tive off the stage amid the hisses and
shouts of the audience. But anger was
speedily changed to laughter when Mr.
Policeman reappeared with his victim
and stood revealed as one of the COsmO
trio. | never saw an audience so COM

Three Layers of Atmosphere.

1t appears that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct cur
rents of air, the first lying at an eleva.
tion Of from 900 to 1900 meters, the
second at from $500 to 1000 meters
and the upper one at from 5000 to
5000 meters above the surface of the
earth. These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each with its own
velocity. At the bottom of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each Of the layers oc-
cur the cumulus clouds. This suggests
that the stratus originate at the bottom
of moving current and the cumulus at
the top 1t is probable, then that the
etratus owe their origin to the difference
in velocity and temperature of the two
layers, while the cumulus are formed
by ascending currents within the layer
of air Professor +, H. Bigelow

The Prince of Monaco has been known
since 1885 as an enthusiastic student
Of the sea and its various forms of life.
He usually spends his summers in the
study of oceanographiC problems, and
his cruises have on some occasions been
extended almost to the coasts of Amer
ica. He delivered Il lecture before the
Royal Geographical society in London
in which he told this incident

The swell was very heavy, and the
prince feared collision as the three
vessels approached the light like moths

off and the other vessels, after standing
by for a few minutes went on their

A PARALLEL.

Sometimes adown the city street,
Where beauty's forgotten thing,
The voice of some lone bird thrills sweet
With tidings of the faroff spring
So, in my heart, when all is dark
And patience sickens to despair
Hope iluttcrs like prison'd lark
And pours her rapture on the air
| cannot tell why this should be
While sorrows cup Is yet to drain,
And every pleasure comes to me
Like storm strcwn roses, flaw d with pain
But we are one, the bird and l,
In suffering and ycarning one;
With memories that cannot die
OF nOw'rs blue ocean and the sun.

Whether right or wrong in aim, any

might be carried too far.
