A Berlin newspaper publishes some
curious details respecting the letter
bags Of the principal European sover-
eigns. The Pope holds the first place,
as he receives every day from 22.OGo
to $1,000 letters and newspapers King
Edward VII. comes next, with 5000
newspapers and 1000 letters. The
Gar and the German Emperor receive
each from 600 to 700 letters, appeals,
etc; the King Of Italy, 900, and Queen
| Wilhelmina, from 100 to $50. The
Pope, says the same authority, EN-
ploys no fewer than thirty-dve secre-
3aries.
The skull Of Mozart, which, since the
death of Professor Hyrtl, who kept 1t
In his house, has been transferred from
one place to another, has now found
| It's final home in the Museum at Salz-
burg. The relic. says the London
Standards Vienna correspondent, was
handed over with all the solemnity be-
| fitting the occasion. An attempt was
| made some time ago to substitute an
| other skull as that OF MoZart's, for the
| one preserved hy Professor Hyrt, but
the fraud was discovered; upon which,
in some mysterious way. the spurious
skull disappeared and the genuine ono
| was restored to It's place. Every care
| will be taken at the Salzburg Museum
of what is the only known portion that
is left Of the great composers remains.
The possessions Of some OF the In
| dian Maharajahs are food Tor fun as
well as wondernlent sometimes. There
! Is one of the richest rajahs who has
passion for acquiring things IN bulk,
and during his visit TO England he as
tonished some Of the EadesDeople by
ordering whole showcases OF jewels
or silver, sometimes a whole trayfui
of tooth brushes or Windowful OF va
rious scented soaps In art also his
purchases were equally expansive, and
on one occasion he was so charmed
with picture that he ordered 1t to be
copied three times, so that he might
have one hanging on each wall OF his
favorite room. But perhaps the most
extraordinary order which was ever
given or undertaken wGs that for two
dressing bags, one the exact duplicate
oP the other. and each Of such enor-
nous size that the two together We're
camePs load. They were made OF
the ordinary brown leather. but inside
they were most luxuriously mounted,
and they cost 5000 apiece.
