WEALTHIEST ROYAL FAMILY
Russian Relgning House said to
Have the Distinction.

The Russian reigning house has, it
Is saio. greater wealth than any other
royal family in the world. In the
Rev. H. N. Hutchinson Living
Rulers Of Mankind" it is said that
the minimum revenue that the Gar
derives from the crown and State
domains is estimated at ~, 500, 600 a
wear. More than forty members OF
the imperial family not in direct line
of succession draw revenues from
landed estates set aside for that pur-
pose by Emperor Paul. TO these es,
tates is given the name OF the imperial
appendage; they cover an area OF
2, 600, 600 acres, larger than Scotland
and the total income derived from
them is $40, 600. 600. Before the eman :
cipation of the serfs. 500, 600 peasants
were attached to these vast estates.
and were IN a sense the property OF
their owners.
Another item Of the vast wealth OF
the imperial family, we are further
told, is the quantity of jewels it's
members possess.
The Russians love gems. Serfs have
toiled to fashion these wondrous
Jewels: Emirs and Shahs, the vassals
of the Gar, have laid them at his feet
The English Ambassadors daughter
said, laughing, that when Alexander
III presented the various Grand
Duchesses, ladies of the imperial
family, with most costly jewels on the
occasion OF his coronation they thought
of the gifts, but tossed them carelessly
in a drawer. To ladies so pientifully
supplied with pearls and diamonds a
fresh necklace or tiara was thing OF
small account.
