1t may be OF interest to point out at

100000 was spent by the government
alone, and fully another S5.O00.OOO by
the public authorities Of various Rus.

other powers view with each other In
lavish OUTLAWS, and. counting the sums
spent by other persons. the coronation
OF Nicholas II. cannot have cost much
less than S25.OOO,OOO.
The coronation of Car Nicholas I.
was also very expensive affair. The
then Duke Of DevOnshlre was the Brit.
ish representative. and he spent fully
$l50,0O0 of his own money In cOnnec.

annals, and this cost only $3.50, 900.
or this amount Sl25, 900 was expended
on the coronation robe and 500. 900 on
the crown.
The cost OF the coronation Of George

cost of the coronation Of William ".
amounted to only Sl5OOOO. and that of

Pennsylvania, but after short prac-
tice he turned his attention to law, and
was admitted to the bar in 1872. In
the following year he wrote the IA

five years, and where he wrote novel

settled in New Jersey and began the

IL women were not long suffering crea.

submit his wife to the humiliation she
must often undergo when she Is obliged
to decline TO make small contributions

ing may be the envy of her friends, her
house may be finely appointed, but when
1t comes to call for chance quarter
or half dollar she has not the cash 10

Let the husband, Mt any rate, give the
wife chance to prove whether or not
she Is to be trusted with money. There
are few women who are unworthy Of
having the charge of their own spending
money. As a rule, they are quite rs
careful rs their husbands In the matter
Of small expenses. and have a horror Of
bills that Is often unknown to the lords

IN HIS WOODEN LEG
Was Found $4,000 After the Junk
Dealer Died.


For twenty-five years Gideon Mason.
junk dealer of Trenton, carried his
savings around in his wooden leg, and
when he died he was worth $4,000 In
cash. Mason lost his leg in n railroad
accident years ago, He never would
tell whence he came. He had known
better days, he said, and rum had
caused his downfall. When he was
able to get out on crutches he took the
pledge. Friends bought him wooden
leg and push cart, gave him a few
dollars, and he began buying and SELL
Ing junk. Mason prospered, When the
first wooden leg was Worn out Mason
appeared with one OF Ills own manu-
facture. 1t was very clumsy, bulging
at the top. During the past six years
Mason was accompanied on his rounds
by dog that was equipped with a
wooden leg made by Mason to take the
place of one 1t had lost. The dog and
the man were inseparablc, Mason was
found stretched on his bed, dead, the
other day. The county physician found
a cavity in Mason's wooden leg, in
which We're concealed a will, Sl5,OOt
