Cronje to st. Helena, amused the old hero

soberly in front of the talking box. and

Sankey's hymn, The Ninety and Nine

They recognized the tune at once, and
Mrs. Cronje burst suddenly into tears.

mey received the equivalent of IS week
from the French Government to enable
him to live in exile at Martinique. But
eventually he appealed for an increase in
salary in order to maintain larger re-
tinue, with the result that he was grant
ed an additional francs. After all, $6 a
week is not an exorbitant allowance for
the man who was once the most power
full monarch in West Africa.
The privilege Of being King of Luxer-
bourg is not an enviable one from a finan-
cial point of view at any rate, for al
though the salary accruing to the post is
supposed TO be $4,000 a year there is often
difficulty in collecting as many hundreds
The whole kingdom only extends over an
area Of 1000 square miles, defended by an
army of $50 men. The inhabitants pay
taxes when they choose to do so, but di-
rectly the Government becomes unpopular
the country refuses to support it, and the
soldiers, whose pay is months and not in
frequently years overdue, side with the
people. At such times the King has to
give his country credit, and at others
finds 1t difficult to secure funds necessary
to uphold the dignity of a throne.
The unfortunate Emperor Kwang Su of
China is supposed to be able to live with
out money; at all events his Government
does not provide him with a penny. There
is absolutely no grant to the reigning
monarch Of China, but the Emperor has
the privilege of being able to order any
goods he may require and will not be
asked to pay for them. The same rule
applies to the Dowager Empress, but she
receives pocket money in the shape of
81 ,250. 900 per annum for giving advice to
the Emperor on political matters.

q T would seem that riches and regal
power 60 not always go together; at
u any rate there are several monarchs
in receipt of salaries which the aver
age city clerk would despise.
The king of Portugal is probably the
poorest paid sovereign in Europe He is
supposed TO receive 100000 a year, but it
is alleged it IS some time since he received
anything at all, because money is uncom-
monty tight in the national exchequer
Many Of the royal dependents pay their
tradesnen with credit notes, but no doubt
in the future, when Portugal by practic-
ing the strictest economy rights herself

The Sultan is a rich man, but his posi-
tjon is not responsible for his wealth.

means he could not rule over Turkey be-
cause some years have now elapsed since
Re drew even a portion of his salary, al
though the Turks boast that he is paid at
the rate Of about $4,000 900 per annum for
occupying the throne. This is true-on
paper, but in reality Abdul Hamid gives
his services for nothing owing to the
bankrupt condition of his country
Eleven dollars and quarter week is
the munifcent salary of the King Of Sa-
moa. The Berlin general act of 1889
brought this once powerful monarch face
10 face with poverty, and settled the al
lowance mentioned upon him in lieu OF
the thousands he formerly played with.
The most humiliating fact, however, Is
that his Chief Justice receives $1,000 and
his President of Council $1,000 year.
\ hile his most insignificant subject has
an income little below his own.
Until quite recently the King OF Daho-

runs from the front to the back Of the
head and one crosses it from ear to ear.
The piece that holds it firmly to the head
fits like cap and is fastened to the other
ones by small rivets. From either side
are suspended round pieces with tiny
openings that fit over the ears, and from
these two flaps are two elastics, one that
fits over the chin and another that fits
under II.

either one of two things happens-the rub

neither one helps the game out much.
So old hands cut a hole in the rubber

Another useful but terribly homely ar
ticle Is the nose guard. OF all the numer-
Gus football acquisitions this IS the most
disfiguring. A large, broad piece of hard
rubber that broadens out near the mouth
and that is necessarily narrow between
the eyes, gives any face an awfully hard
expression. The rubber is held with the

The first thing that impresses a casual
watcher is the great amount of earth that
the boys carry about with them. Under
that dusty exterior are all kinds of pad
dings, wacdings and braces.
There are three kinds of trousers-can-
vas, moleskin and khaki All three are
heavily padded or quilted and some of
them have thigh and knee guards inserted
in them. When they put them on most
fellows look for all the world like an ex-
ira large toy balloon.
Sweaters and jerseys are universally
wcrn and there is but little difference IN
them. The sweaters are rarely padded,
but the jerseys frequently are, and they
save many a nasty bruise. There are all

ger When taken of there is frequently
a red mark as reminder, for a rubber
band encircles the brow and holds the
top of the guard in place.
The shin guards are not dreams OF
beauty, but they cover that part Of the
body that gets the hardest, the meanest
and the most frequent blows and kicks
Everybody will readily remember the days
when his shins were perpetually bound
in turpentine and bacon, as the result OF
stealing the neighbors' apples. so the
guard is put on right merrily and an i'm
mense lot of trouble averted.
The shoes of a football player look
three times heavier than those of an or
dinary chap. If they were higher they
would serve admirably for hunting boots,
for a time, but the rubber would soon
wear off. Directly over the ankle bone
an extra piece of leather is inserted. That
is for two reasons-strength and thick
ness. The soles are heavy but are hand
sewed and soft. To prevent sliding there
are six or seven rubber pieces that stand
up like so many spikes, both on the sole
and the heel

in silk braces there is hardly part Of the
body that is not fairly we'll protected. The
arms are not padded or hindered from
working freely, for bungling is a thing
that is not easily forgiven. But there
are shoulder braces that help out the fell
low with a weak collarbone.
None of the football paraphernalia Is
much for beauty, and the players gener-
ally look like so many wild Indians after
several occasions. If a chaps own mother
met him after dark she would run like a
whitehead, and nothing could persuade
her that son Of hers could look so like a
cutthroat. But all this goes toward max
ing a player attractive, sought after and
a veritable hero.
