PRINCE OF MONACO.


with the Casino Company.
Ten years have elapsed since Prince
Albert assembled the throne OF the
Grimaldi amid n pageant which re-
called the middle ages, says the Gen.
tleman's Magazine. The reigning SOW
ereign, who is 81 years old, W. ed
ucated as naval officer, and has
served in both the Spanish and French
navies, taking part in the Franco
Prussian war Of 1870. In England he
is known for his papers on ocean
osraphy; in France he has lately made
himself conspicuous Tor his letter to
Nine. Dreyfus; at home he is regard
ed as very shrewd man of business
who has made excellent terms for him.
self with the Casino company. So far
the most important event OF his reign
has been the renewal OF NJ. Blanc's
original concession, which would have
| expired in 1913. for q further period
OF fifty years from that date. This new
privilege WI have cost from first to
last a million sterling in hard cash
paid to the prince; an annuity rising
every ten years, till It will reach
100000 in the last decade; a new
opera house, to cost ESQ 600, and, as
a recognition OF the artistic tastes OF
the prince, sum OF $1,000 for each
OF ten special representations at the
theater He also receives, as may be
seen from the balance sheet Of the
company for last year, an additional
grant of 100000 for his law courts,
police and army OF seventy-hve men
and is also large shareholder in the
concern. Besides all this, the Casino
pays for public works and roads, light
ing, the water supply, the official wash
house, the state baths and the loss
on the postofice. while. true to the
religious character OF Monaco. it gives
grants to the bishop. the clergy and
the converts. In short, the contem-
porary history OF Monaco is simply
that Of the Casino and the descendant
OF the Grimaldi Is that very modern
produet-the aristrocratic financier.

Swan Away.
On the regular day of the week the
customary rap was heard on the back
door, and when it was opened the pic
turesQda "a ,Gcr, in bedtick trousers,
tucked into rubber boots, stood on the
sill smiling, and gently strokiug the
scarf of chin whskers that hung down
and lightly swept his wishbone. When
he had counted out the usual number
of eggs with which he supplied us and
had put the money into the antique
wallet which he held together and in
shape with about yard of cord and
safety pin, the small boy of the
household said: why don't you
bring duck eggs for a change once in
while?" Il can't bring you duck
eggs because l can't keep ducks"
When he paused the small boy afore-
said, who is simply a storehouse Of
questions. each of which is forever
struggling to escape, asked, Cant
keep ducks, why not?" Because I
| nave tried" replied the farmer. Il
last year bought a lot Of peklns and
muscovas, and it was no CO." When he
| lapsed into silence once more the
| small boy ag in went at him with a
question. Didn't you have water?"
That's just what was the matter"
said the farmer 81 couldn't keep the
ducks because I had water, and not
because l hadn't water. I have fine
stream right beside the house" And
wouldn't the ducks get into it," asked
the boy. They would and did," said
the farmer, land that is just where the
trouble came in. If they had kept out
| of the water they would have been all
| right" why, what did the water do
to them?" asked the boy, with the per-
| sistency OF a washerwoman who car
ries news budgets from house to
| house. What did it do to them?" said
| the farmer, rising and jumping upon
his wagon, because he was so mad he
couldn't keep still. What did it do
| to them?" he repeated as he made a
crack at the horse with the whip.
| This is what it did to them: 1t took
them down the current. Five minutes
after l had turned them loose they
| were on the stream, and they shot out
Of sight on the tide as if they'd been
fired out of cannon, and l amt saw
! them since. Chickens is all right
around place where there's water,
but when l want to keep ducks again
guess I'll go of somewhere where
there amt no streams. and then il the
ducks has got to have water, I'll put
up a shower bath in the barn for them.
Gee up!" then he shouted with vim at
the recalcitrant horse, and was soon
out of sight-New York Herald.

KHAKI is A COLOR.
A word Now mathematical OF British
Patriotism.

Patriotism.
This is a question put by the Tailor
and Cutter, which evidently is not
pleased with the new uniform of the
British soldier who has gone South"
Khaki simply describes a color, and
not n class of material, and, according
to our contemporary, is associated
with "vulgarity and dirtiness." Tho
word is not to be found in Johnson,
Webster or Nuttall, but the Encyclo-
paedlc Dictionary gives it, and its
meaning there Is: An earthly or gray
clay color used to dye the uniform Of
Indian soldiers and Sepoys. A sect Of
Brahmins called Khaki because they
apply the ashes of manure to their
dress and persons TIE Greek die
tionary gives us kaa-kaa, dirt; tho
Welsh vocabulary, the German, the
Spanish, even the Maori has the same
word spelled a little differently, 1t Is
true, but in every case the meaning Is
the same. 1t is of tho earth, earthly
dirt, of the dirtiest kind-that Is the
meaning OF the word which has
come to DO looked upon as emblemati-
cal OF British patriotism. The main
use Of khaki seems to be. we are fur

1900.
Only those who knew the lovely
band of children that graced the
household of our friends can appre-
ciate the sorrow that was felt when
we heard that one of it's brightest
jewels had been taken TO adorn a
heavenly crown. Little Sam Ben
nett seemed always just to touch
the earth, and to be ready TO unfold
his wings and soar to the celestial
regions he now inhabits. When the
weakness of mortality pressed upon
the lovely child and bright intima-
tions of Immortality visited him
he twas not afraid to go to Jesus, -"
and the grave had no terrors for
him.
Shall not his memory be TO those
he leaves behind. an inspiration
and a strength to nerve them for

the inheritance that he won without
the conflict. through the merits of
the Savior who loved the little
ones?
