DOES IT PAY
To Be 4 KING

This question, very often asked and as
seldom answered, Is one that interests the
whole world. There are those who think
that besides the of 1t, there Is no
emolument associated with the RESPONSE
bility of ruling a great government. Blu:
the computed private fortunes Of the
worlds greatest s0vereigns, especially
those Of Europe, show that though UNI
easy ma lie a kingly head, the state Of
unrest is SO grandly remunerative that
1t would allow a most comfortable sub
sistence should the reposer be suddenly
relieved Of his sovereignty and compelled
to live in retirement.
While it Is considered the worst Of form
in court circles to discuss the private
wealth of kings and queens, 1T is a we'll
known fact that their finances are Cos
Sped about, and SO loudly, too, that in
formation regarding the pecunlary stand

world without. For instance, every one

especially during the last few years,
the building of an isthmian canal has
become increasingly important to the
United States; but it is important also
that the canal should be under the sole
control Of the United States. This could
not be while the convention was in
force. 1t has been sometimes suggested.
but never formally insisted upon in
diplomatic correspondence, that Great
Britain has violated the convention by
continuing to exercise dominion over
British Honduras. So long as Great
Britain did not take this view of the
matter, awkward questions might arise
after the canal should be constructed.
The recent Hay-Pauncefote pact,
abrogating the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
provides for neutral channel. This
instrument leaves the United States
free to build and control canal, which
Is not to be fortified, but to be kept al.
ways open and neutral, under the rules
which govern the management of the
Suez Canal. Opponents of the measure
claim that 1t admits all the dangerous
features of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
without compensating advantages, and
that, as usual, England comedies what
she does not hold to obtain what she
wants, but cannot get.

In Great Britain the ministers of the
crown have larger war-making powers
than an American President employs
ut the opening of hostilties. They can
give the signal for war without consult
ing Parliament-although Parliament
must be summoned within ten DAYS
after the reserves are called out
whereas the President cannot enter
upon Il military campaign without the
consent of Congress. In 1857 the House
of Commons expressed disapproval of
Lord PalmerSton'S war measures
against China. He did not retire from
office, but dissolved Parliament, APP
pealed to the country, and after gen
eral election was able to command Il
majority in the new House of Com
mons. Parliament can withhold the
money required for the expenses of
war, but this is seldom done, since the
ministers can almost always enlist the
support of the Commons when cam
paign is considered necessary. The
ministers of the crown are responsible
for the declaration of war, and ut the
close of hostilities they can negotiate
peace without the consent of Parlia.
ment. They have. therefore, supreme
authority in the opening and closing
stages of war with Il foreign state.
Parliament can pass votes of censure,
move addresses TO the crown, and with
hold the money required for the mill
tary aud naval services. but each of
these acts can be made a challenge to
general election. in which the coun-
try will stand by the government. I'm
der the American Constitution Con
gress alone Is empowered to declare
war, and ut the close of Il campaign
the treaty of peace must be sanctioned
by two-thirds of the Senate. The Presi-
dent does not have so free hand in
wartime as the British premier. War
is, however so terrible n calamity that
the responsibility for II ought to be
shared with the national legislature
and not carried by any group of cabi-
net ministers. The American method
may not offer any additional safeguard
against unjust or unnecessary warfare,
but il Is in closer accord than the Eng
lish system with the genius of represen-
tative government.

consigning people to Imprisonment for
the crime of being old and poor. Ger
many and Denmark pay old age pen
sions. In Germany there is a system
of compulsory insurance against Old
age, and that would seem to be the
proper method. Dependent old age is
very largely the result of improvident
living. The average man could save
enough between the ages of 1S and 90
to enable him to live better for the bal
ance of his life than he could live in
the average almshouse, if he would. In
1898 Germany paid to 100000 pension
ers $13,750,000. The pension fund, to
which compulsory contribution had
been made, amounted to $S,360,000 The
deficit was furnished by the govern
ment. But a system that embodied the
principles Of life insurance and was
also based upon incomes would sup
ply the whole amount, and prevent the
irritation which the taxpayer often
feels when thinking that he Is COM
PEELED to support an old man who has
been wasting his means during his
whole life.

NATURE.

As fond mother, when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to
bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the
floor,
Still gazing at them through the open
door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not
please him more
So Nature deals with us and takes away
Our playthings, one by one, and by the
hand
Leads us to rest so gently that we go
Scarce knowing if we wished to so or
stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the
what we know.

Blind People.

So far as the most recent statistics
60, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in fifteen hundred,
which would give total of one million
blind in the world. The largest proper
tion is found in Russia, which has in
Europe 100000 blind in population
of 96,000,000, or one in 4S0 Most of
these are found in the northern PROV
inces of Finland, and the principal
cause is ophthalmia, due to bad ventila-
ton of the huts of the peasantry and
the inadequate facilities for treatment.
There is great deal of blindness in
Egypt, due to glowing sand.

cLAYToN.euLwER TREATY.

History of the Compact Between United
States and Great Britain.
The 'Clayton-Bulwer treaty" derives
it's name from the diplomatists who
negotiated ton the part of the United
States, Hon. John Nj. Clayton, Secre-
tary of State in President Taylor's ad.
ministration; and on the part of Eng
land, Sir Henry Bulwer, British minis
ter at Washington. The ''treaty"-to
to use proper diplomatic language il
was convention" and not a treaty
was concluded in 1850. Its purpose
was to promote the building of an
isthmian canal, to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. In 1S49 the United
States had made convention with
Nicaragua for constructing such a
canal, starting at Greytown, on the At
lantic. But Greytown was occupied
by British settlers, and Great Britain
claimed a protectOrate over the Mos.
quito Indians, who held the eastern
coast of Nicaragua. The United States
desired Great Britain to waive its
claims, but as the request was denied
the next best thing seemed to be the
establishment Of a joint protectorate
over the proposed canal. This was done
by the "Clayton-Bulwer treaty." one
condition of which was that neither
power should secure exclusive privil.
eges in the canal, and another that
neither power should occupy or exer'
else dominion over any part of Central
America.
Since the convention was made. All

II Is said that the ever-incrcasing lee
ture habit and the growing number Of
people who feel called upon to reveal
the "whimsles" In their brains has
caused the commonplace, listening soul
TO develop into II mere sponge, the
waters of knowledge. AS reaction
against this attitude some specialists,
with the fires Of real genius In their
brains, refuse to spread the flames, or
nets already filed with the hum of
these insects. These protesters 20 so
far as to dlsapprove of the university
extension movement, and to look upon
II as an unwise method of distributing
crumbs of culture that are calculated
TO create dangerous cravings. There is
no doubt that people are being lectured

tile listeners resemble junk shop, or
the ragbag that Is filled with hand

High Priced.

The most expensive material worked
into garment was the gold brocade
purchased in 1910 for a robe for King
Louis XIV, at cost of about SS5 a
yard. Not long ago, however, the Ger
man Empress had coverlet woven in
white silk upon a fiat background on
which flowers, leaves and birds project
ed in relief. The design was not en-
broidered, but woven in unique way.
The Empress was so pleased with it
that she employed it as a tapestry for
her boudoir. The cost of this material
was SIP yard, Of which the weaver
got one-sixth.
