AMERICAN ARIST0CRACY.
Trade Monarchs Who Are
Richer Than Royalty

The few enormously wealthy Amer
lean families of which the head en-
joys an assured annual income of
more than S1,0oo,ooo may be regard
ed as representing in the American
republic what the royalties" repre-
sent in England, says Ainslee's Maya
zine. Popular phraseology, indeed,
gives them, with unconscious fitness,
quaei-royal titles in styling them
"oil kings" money kings" and min
ing kings" Most of them live as few
real kings can afford to live, and
they receive from their immediate en-
tourage something of the obsequious
Difference which in monarchial lands
is given to those who are of the roy
al blood. Coming down grade, we
have the somewhat larger group of
those whose incomes range from ST.
100000 down to 100000. These indi-
viduals, as a class, are equivalent of
the british peerage-the 100000
magnate having, let us say, the rela-
tive rank of a duke, while the others
represent descending scale of dig
nifty and are respectively the equals
OF marquises, earls, viscounts and
barons. Then come what we may
style in British Technology the up
per middle classes"-persons with
incomes ranging from 100000 to
$4,000. Social classification ends
with the final group of families whom
we may collectively describe as the
flower middle classes" having in
comes of not more than $4,000 and

Character In Nicknames.

When Austria was only dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles Cath
olic," "Glorious' and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic Of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent and the third great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea Of
the conditions OF the people while
these dukes ruled.
France has had most wonderful as
sortnent Of kings. One was the Little
and another the Bold. One was the
Stammerer, another Simple. while q
third and fourth were Indolent and
Fair. These names are descriptive Of
the kings themselves, but it is hardly
to be supposed that q king who was in
dolent or simple did much to further
the interests of his subjects. But when
we find Robert II. called the Sage, we
realize that he ruled wisely and that
the people were better off for it.

Birds Nests and Poetry.

Birds nests have attracted the atten-
ton of inquisitive genius from the days
of Aristotle down to the present time.
This is not wonderful, because the
nests are invariably curious and often
beautiful, besides offering cradle, as
it were, for host of romantic specula-
tons and poetical theories. 1magina-
ton has taken hold Of birds and their
nests with singular affection, drawing
gorth meantime some beautiful leg
ends to enrich romance withal and to
add to the sum Of what is most per-
sistent in the song of mankind.
The ancients told that the halcyon, a
beautiful aquatic bird, had its nest on
the seas breast, little floating palace
around which the water was always
calm and sweet. Halcyon, or alcyon.

we now know every species Of this

fancy as great as possible, most Of the
kingfshers dig deep holes in the
ground for their homes.
