King Edwards Perquisites.

From the St. James Gazette.
 A King has many privileges, but the oldest of all King Edwards is surely the right he has by statute to the head of every whale caught on the coasts of his kingdom The tail is to go to Queen Alex andria, the object of the division being guarantee that the Queens wardrobe shall be furnished with whalebone. King Edward Is not likely to receive many whales, however long he may reign, but there are many perquisites of the crown which are not so rare as whales in Eng land The King Is entitled, for instance, to every sturgeon brought to land in the United Kingdom; one of them, caught in the Thames, was on the table at Queen Victorias wedding banquet. The King should receive, too, every year from divers persons, tablecloth worth three shillings, two white doves, two white hares, a catapult, a pound of cuminseed, a horse and halter, pair of scarlet hose, a currycomb. pair of tongs, two knives, a lance worth two shillings, and a silver needle from his tailor.

KNOTTY QUESTION FOR MIR. THOMPSON Is Mrs. Levarne a Fortune
 Teller or Not2 CLAIMS TO BE A SClEN TlST She Reads the Character of Tax Com missioner and an Age-Herald Re- porter, Both of Which Were
 Excellent.
CLAIMS TO BE A SCENTS l

B. Arbury Thompson, the back tax commissioner, and Mrs Louisa LeVerne were discussing in the formers office yes- terday whether the latter was a fortune teller, and therefore liable to pay the li- cense of so which the State insists all persons shall pay who have the habit of dipping into the future of their clients at so much per dip. Mrs. LeVerne in- sisted that she was not a dipper but scientist. That she did not tell fortunes, but read character. She thereupon pro- ceeded to read Mir. Thompsons character and that of an Age-Herald reporter. It is hardly necessary to say that both were excellent.
 "To show you that l am strictly a scientist" said Mrs. LeVerne Hay a dime in my hand. A penny will do," con- tinued Mrs. LeVerne, seeing that dimes were scarce, MT. Thompson not having collected any back taxes that day, and the reporter being in the normal financial condition of a reporter. Some one came to the rescue and anted a dime for Mrs. Le Verne. She thereupon picked it up with one finger, held it at arms length, and when she got ready dropped it on the floor without moving a muscle. She explained that this was all done by science and electricity. She said she was full of electricity and science That as a matter of principle she would not pay a fortune teller's license were it only dime. She was not in that class and would go to jail first. She said she was the advance agent of the union of the mind and soul.
 When I left Detroit and came here to this city" she said, 'I had but s9, but my faith in God was perfect. and l took board at my hotel" Mrs. LeVerne did not say how much faith she had in the board.
 MT. Thompson reserved his deeision as to whether or not Mrs. LeVerne was fortune teller-he will tell her by and by.

Money Easily Made.

From the Indianapolis Sun.
 I've got a scheme" said the Grafter, ''that'll work like a clock. I'm going to put an ad. in the paper asking women to send their photographs and a ffve-dollar bill, and I'll tell them how to become beautiful.
 But how can you make them beauti- ful2' asked the Chump.
 Don't have to. I'll send back the pho tographs with letters something like this Dear Miss: After seeing your photograph we are surprised that you desire to be- come more beautiful than you already are. It sometimes seems that the very ones upon whom God bestows His great est favors are the least thankful. One so divinely endowed with such loveliness as you possess should be contented. All though we have added to the beauty of such women as Lily Langtry, Maxine Dl- liott and Lillian Russell, our honor as gentlemen and our reputation as an old established firm compel us to inform you that you already possess beauty far be- yond the possibilities of our system.
 But the s5? asked the Chump.
 'Oh, l guess a woman wouldn't make much of a howl over the five," answered the Crater.

'"The Day family has seven dsugh- ters and the Sunday family seven sons. I am reliably informed that five of the Day girls have already married that num- Der of Sunday boys and that still another Day girl Is about to become the wife of another Sunday boy.

INCOME OF UNITED STATES
II Amounts to Sixty Millions
More Than Expenses

Washington, May 7.-At the
close OF thepresent fiscal year, June
30. the government VIII have net
profits from the years transactions
Of about 500, 600. 900. In other words the
receipts will exceed the expenditures
by that amount. This Is looked upon
as exceptionally satisfactory showing
considering the large expenditures in
oident TO the prosecutions OF the mill
itary operations in the Philippines
and the maintenance OF garrisons IN
Cuba and Porto Rico.
At the close Of business April 90.
the excess OF receipts over expend-
itrres was S47.9 97. 12l.1f. This was for
a period Of ten months lacking one
day. At the same rate Of increase
the net receipts OF the government will
amount TO about $50. 900. 900.
A glance at the customs and inter
nal revenue receipts and a comparison
with those derived from the same
sources during the last fiscal year re-
yeals some interesting figures. The
receipts duriEg the first ten months
of the presen. fiscal year are over $t0.-
600. 600 In excess on those for the same
period last year. There is an in
creaes in the customs collections OF
a little less than $4,000. zoe, and an ex
cess In the internal revenues OF over
10000 900, while the miscellaneous re-
ceoipts show a slight falling Off. The
total receipts from all sources for the
arst ten months Of this year exceed
those for the same period OF the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1900, by over

fact there viii be a large surplus on
hand at the end Of the present fiscal
year.
The largest item Of expense in the
operations Of the present year Is for
the maintenance Of our army. The ex-
penditures under the war department
for the past ter months foot up a total
of S124,62O,O41 81. Next in line comes the
pension accounts. with total expend-
lures Of $it6,134. 5O9.27. The civil and
miscellaneous expenditures also OK
coed the 500. 900 900 mark. being Si04,-
523, 717.14. The payments incident to the
navy foot up a total $780, 3f .470.Of. The
expenses for the various Indian tribes
already this year are 1926, 565. 81. Uncle
Sans interest account is no small
item in his expenses. Thus far this
year the interest on the public debt
has amounted to 500. 342. 1854.
The statement for the first ten
months of the present fiscal year is
looked upon by the treasury officials
as an exceptionally good one. There
has been a p%erceptible failing Off dur
ing the past month in the internal
revenue receipts from the sale OF doc
umentary stamps, the people OF the
country making purchases in small
quantities owing 70 the abolition Of a
good part Of this tax.
