Thus Queen Victoria mas been in re-
ceipt of an income from the Govern
ment amount to about S3.00O000 Il
year. From that she has paid all the
expenses of her household, charities
and other expenses imposed upon the
sovereign. She has had 100000 per
annum for pocket money, of which no
account was ever asked. The salaries
of her household amounted to about
100000, ana the other eXpensese to
about S750000 year 100000 was Civ
en- her for "bounties end aims" and
$4,000 for annuities and pensions. In
addition TO this. the other members of
the royal family receive annuities
amounting TO S173,000.
From the duchy of Lancaster she re-
ceived about S45O,O 900 year net, which
she had no need to touch, and invested
in bulk as fast as it came to her. This
alone since she has been upon the
throne would aggregate $40 000,OU0.

Under the laws OF England lump
sum is voted annually Cor the royal
household, for which the sovereign is
not required TO render an account. If
there was anything left at the end Of
the year-and under Queen Victoria
the balance usually amounted to sever
al hundred thousand dollars-she put
it in her pocket. This arrangement
dates back nearly two centuries.
Theoretically the sovereign of Great
Britain receives no compensation, but
is entitled to certain hereditary rev.
enues that make a curious inventory.
In early times everybody had to pay
royalty" upon his earnings to his
sovereign, hence the origin of that
word. Queen Victoria upon her acces-
sion to the throne made an arrange
ment under which all hereditary rev.
enues We're surrendered in exchange
for permanent civil list amounting
to f40S,0O0 1t was a good trade on
both sides. The legitimate revenues
Of the crown at the present day would
largely exceed that sum. but she was
relieved of responsibility and knew
exactly what she had 10 .epend upon.
Had she. retained the hereditary rev.
emu IS she would have had all confis.
Gated estates, all the property of felons
and outlaws, all wrecks. tiotsam and
jetsam, and all penalties and fines col
lected by the courts. The only right
she retained was TO the so-called
royal fish''-that is. all whales or
surgeons caught upon the coast OF the
United Kingdom.

She has received several very large
legacies. In 1852 James Camden Nield
bequeathed TO her majesty fortune
amounting TO about S4,000,000, which
has ever since paid large revenue
In 1877 c. NJ. Newhouse left her sew
eral hundred thousand dollars In his
VIII, and she has received number
of other less valuable estates from 10y
al subjects and admirers who had no
regular heirs. These iegacies We're
more numerous than the public sus-
pected, for the utmost caution was ex-
ercised lest her majesty might be in
volyed in litigation or noforiety. Sev-
erai large estates were declined to
avoid contests in the courts with rela-
tives who thought they We're entitled
to the money.
A few years ago her majesty had n
narrow escape. An old Scotchman be-
queathed to her n fortune amounting
to several hundred thousand pounds.
1t was invested in the shares of n
Dan1, which two or three years later
failed with liabilities of millions. 1t
was then discovered that only fifteen
per cent. Of the face value of the
