FOOD SUPPLY IN PALACES.

Here are some interesting statistics
in regard to the food which Is served
i'm royal palaces, but which is not used
by the host or guests. The chief cook
OF Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
estimates that of the 1,250,000 francs
which are spent each year on the inn
peral table more than half million
francs are spent on unused food. or
leaving" The perquisites from sim
gle banquet which was given on the oc-
casion of the jubilee amounted TO more
than twenty thousand francs.
The unused food, and especially the
wines. are sold after each meal To the
principal restaurants of Vienna. and in
this way the cooks and assistants con-
trive to obtain twice and often even
three times as much as Is paid TO them
each month by the Emperors steward.
In Italy and i'm Spain this leakage tno
other word seem appropriately has with
i'm the last few years been reduced TO
a minimum. The Emperor of Germany
has also set his face against this eX-
travagance IT is said that he makes
contract with the proprietor Of one or
the first hotels in Berlin, who guar
antees TO furnish meals TO him and 20
all the members of his court for the
fixed sum of twenty marks head.
Queen Victoria examines carefully
into her household expenses and is es-
pecally careful that no money shall
be wasted i'm the royal kitchen.
In the imperial palaces OF Russia the
"leaVings" must be considerable. Ev-
cry day between five and six hundred
francs worth of wines and cigars are
furnished for the imperial banquet, and
there is "a strict rule that no bottle,
whether opened on not. shall be pre-
sentcd twice at the Cars table. 1t is
said that this rule is rigidly enforced,
and. If so. il can readily be seen that
the lot of a chef i'm a Russian royal
palaCe is by no means unhappy.

The most prominent "class in spell
ing in the United States is the Board
Of Geographic Names. 1t consists of
ten experts, selected from the various
departments and scientific bureaus in
Washington, who meet monthly for
the purpose of deciding how disputed
geographic names should be spelled.
Their decision is adopted by the gov
eminent for all its publications, by the
textbook writer's also; and the news
paper editors usually accept their con-
clusiOns. Upon the organization Of
this board in 1890, it adopted certain,
general principles. These are SOme4
times carried out by postoffice clerks so
mechanically as to bring upon the
board criticism 1t does not deserve
For example, the board decided that
names of two words, such as Middle
Branch, should be written as one word
-Middlebranch. This rule, which was
wise when used with good judgment
became absurd when, in interpreting
| 1t, postal officer decided that West
Palm Beach should be spelled West
palmbeach. A compromise has been
made, and West Palmbeach adopted
instead. Other decisions of the board
are that the final ''h" in such a word
as Pittsburgh should be dropped. Also
the ugh" in such a word as Marlbor-
ough, and the possessive form wher-
ever practicable. The theory Of the
.oard is to secure uniformity and sim
plicity, not to reform the language.

From the published reports of his do
ings the young man known as the Earl
of Yarmouth does not deserve the i'll
natured criticisms that are being di-
rected against him. His lordship is
poor, which Is not at all to his discredit,
and he seeks to make an honest living,
which is distinctly to his credit. 1t Is
evident that he is far from being a fool,
for he has driven hard bargain with
the theatrical manager who has en-
ployed him. Nor can he be blamed for
utilizing his title as an asset, seeing
that 1t is about the only thing of value
that he possesses. We may suggest,
moreover, that the young man might
very easily have turned his patent to
nobility to a more profitable use had
he chosen to sacrifice his independence
by becoming the husband of some
American young woman whose papa
was willing to buy her a title as be
would buy her a pair of diamond ear
rings. All things considered, there
fore, the Earl of Yarmouth strikes us
as a rather estimable young man.

The Boston Globe gives a vivid ac-
count of New England farms going TO
ruin, especially in Maine. The aban-
doned farm story has been familiar for
years to readers of New England pa
pers, but the Globes description shows
the tragical side of the struggle for ex-
lStence that is going on in many a New
England State. In Maine many of the
farms are now practically worthless
and never were valuable except for
the timber that once grew upon them.
But the lumber industry of the Pine
Tree State is rapidly passing away, the
farms have been exhausted, and their
owners, in many cases old and poor,
are rapidly drifting to the poOrhOuse.
In some of the towns the policy of
taking over farms in return for a
guarantee to keep perhaps man and
his wife In board and clothes the re-
ma1nder of their days has been fol-
lowed, but even this inexpensive way
of acquiring land is too costly for the
towns, and 1t is being discontinued.
These abandoned farms are then con-
verted into plantations, and the towns
unable to support the farm owners
send them back to the farms to make
living for themselves free from taxa
ton. Even this is frequently hard to
DO, so utterly worn out is the soil.
