SALARIES OF KINGS.
Russia's Gar Gets Most and switzerland's
Ruler Least.

Russia's Gar Gets Most and SwitZerland's
Ruler Least.
The extremes of salary are tllustrat-
ed by the pay Of the car of Russia
and the president Of Switzerland. The
former gets $4,000 day, while the
latter is happy and satisfied with $7.92
each twenty-four hours. These figures
are based on 365 working days in the
year, for monarchs are supposed to be
always working.
Now these executives-Of Russia and
Switzerland-are at the extremes OF
the rulers payroll, the first getting
s., 1861 900 year and the other $2,9OO.
Between these extremes the other
eleven nations considered are scatter
ed in a haphazard manner, 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 $4,3SO,OOO annu-
ally, comes under the car Of all the
RuSSiaS, while President Mckinley,
with his $4,000, comes next above the
president Of little Switzerland. After
Austria comes Germany, which pays
Emperor William $3,400,000; then the
king of Italy, with $2,435, 900; Shah of
Persia, s., 1876, 600; Queen Victoria, ST.
$4,000; King Of Belgium, $632, 900;
King of Norway and Sweden, $56O,OOO
Queen OF the Netherlands, 1922, 700;
King of Greece, $253, 900; and the pres
ident of France, $239,00O President
Faure receives but little more regular
salary than President Mckinley, but
he has fixed perquisites that bring his
income from the state to the amount
given.
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
administer laws of Cneir own or the
peoples making. Now, each subject of
the czar has to annually pay seven
and four-ffths cents to his ruler, and
stands eighth on the list, while the
PerSians, each of whom must yearly
pay to the Shah thirty and three-quar-
tiers cents, heads it, Switzerland, with
the smallest population ana salary,
does not pay the least per capita, for
the United States, with seven-one hun
dredths of cent for each inhabitant,
| is at the bottom Of the list, Switzerland
being next above, with eight-one hun
lredths of a cent. Turkey, with TWEEN
ty cents for each subject, naturally
! comes next below Persia and Greece,
with eleven and tWO-tifthS cents, comes
next. Then, in the descending scale,
come Austria, with ten and twU-ffths
cents for each subject TO pay to the
ruler; Belgium, ten and One-ffth cents;
Italy, nine cents; Norway and Sweden.
eight cents; then Russia, then Ger
many, six and three-ifths cents; Hol
| land, six and one-ffths France, six,
Great Britain, four and three-ffths,
and then Switzerland aud the United
States.-N. Y. Herald.

The Old s.LYceums system.

During a long period, says Col. T. W.
Higginson in the Atlantic, l lectured
"a great deal in what were then called
*lyceum" courses, which stretched
over the northern half Of the United
States, forty years ago, to an extent
now hardly conceivable. There were
two or three large organizations or
bureaus which undertook systemati-
cally the task of bringing speaker and
audience together with the least pos
sible inconvenience to both. One Of
these, whose center was Dubuque, To-,
negotiated in 1867 for thirty-five lee
Eurers and Ito lecture courses, under
taking to distribute the one with per-
Reet precision, as to supply the other.
AB a result, the lecturer left home with
Q printed circular in his pocket, assign
ing his dozen or his hundred engage
ments, as the case might be. AS rule
he would meet in each new place what
booked like the sarne audience, would
make the sameopoints in his lecture as
a0efore, would sleep at what seemed
Ehe same hotel, and breakfast ON the
same tough beefsteak He would re.
Beiye the usual compliments, if any
and make the same courteous reply to
The accustomed questions as to the
acoustics of the hall and the intelli-
a&ence Of the audience.
