EARLS WITHOUT ESTATES.
Another q Farmer in New Zea-
land Among the Lot.

So accustomed is the British mind
to associat ting title with vast rent
roll and extensive ancestral estates
that it seems almost impossible to
grasp the fact that there are to-day
noble earls and other lights of the
peerage of our land who cannot lay
claim to any rent-rou or ownership of
the wide acres at all.
The question came prominently into
notice with the death of the recent
earl of Perth at that unimposing
house by the side of Kew green. Here
he had lived for many years, humble
and unknown to the man in the street,
says Stray Stories.
How many of the thousands who
trooped past his house in Kew gardens
every holiday ever thought for a min
ute that the solitary elderly man
standing watching them at that little
gate was no other than the represent
ative of that great race of Scotch earls
who had stuck manfully and bravely
to the cause of the Stuarts, and lost
their all in land and money by SO do
ing?
Wide lands and noble estates had
been the heritage of the Drummonds
in centuries onward from the con-
quest; this earl recently dead
never held any of them. They had
all been confscated by Hanoverian
kings.
The earl of Caithness now lives in
the far west, where he has built him.

after his ancestral seat in Scotland
Berridale farm.
The earls of Caithness in the olden
days used to live at Berridale, in CATH
ness; but this estate now has passed
to the duke of Portland. and the pres
ent earl of Caithness now finds him

| tune and has settled there. He works
his farm and makes an honest and
good living by it; but as for his rent
roll and ancestral acres-they are to-
tally minus.
He has been a cowboy, has had bush
experiences for ten years, and is yet
only As years old. It is hardly likely
that he will figure in the coronation
| procession, though if he cares to do
so he certainly can.
The earl of Seafeld is scarcely like
ly to journey from his chosen home in
New Zealand in order to take part in
the coming events of the year where
his peers will make such an important
show.
His father went out to New Zealand
in long years past to seek his fortune,
before he ever dreambed of coming
into the earldom of Seafeld. The
present lord was born in the colony,
and knows very little about England
+, from his own experience.
He has good business out there
in the land of the Maoris-and, accord
ing to his own account, does not intend
to return to the country whence he
derives his title, being far more COM
Portable and happy where he is.
He is the head of the great family
of the Ogilvies, renowned in history
and story. and is yet quite young
man, being but &c years of age.
At a meeting of the Universalist Be-
neficent society in Soho square, some
time ago, it was stated that one of
the chief cases of hardship dealt with
| by the society during the year was
that of viscountess who, at the time
of applying for assistance, was try
ing to earn her living by making shirts
at four cents apiece, and was in re-
ceipt of parish relief.
Her husband was dead, and had left
her nothing to live on; he had himself
for years had terrible hard work to
support the two of them.

MAXIMS OF A WITTY Able.
A Notable Figure i'm French Society
During the Latter Part of the
Eighteenth Century.

Some OF the maXlmS and anecdotes
OF Nocolas de Chamfort, the witty
able, who, during the latter half OF
the 18th century, was such a notable
figure in French Society, have been
translated by Mr.. w. G. Hutchinson,
and published by London firm.
This seems to be the first English YER
sion ever made. Here are some sam
pies of the abbe's wit as rendered by
the translator:
Living is a disease from the pains
of which sleep eases US every sixteen
hours; sleep is but palliative, death
alone il the cure"
1.-THE worst wasted of all days is
that in which one has not laughed"
"-fis not generally known how
much wit q man requires to avoid be-
ing ridiculous"
1.-THE best philosophical attitude to
adopt toward the world is union of
the sarcasm of gayety with the in
diligence of contempt"
Society would be charming affair
if we were only interested in one
another"
'There is no history worthy Of at
tention save that of free nations; the
history of nations under the sway of
despotism is no more than a collec-
ton of anecdotes"
Some Of his anecdotes are good:
Madame de Talmont, seeing M. de
Rchelieu neglecting her to pay at
tentions to Madame de Brionne, a
very beautiful woman, but said to be
rather stupid, remarked to him:
'You are not blind, Marshal, but
cannot help thinking you are little
deaf"
Mademoiselle Duthe having lost
lover, and the affair causing some
talk, man who called to see her
found her playing the harp, and said
with surprise: ''Good heavens! I was
expecting to find you desolated with
grief" "Ah," she exclaimed in a pa
thetic tone, you should have seen me
yesterday"
A woman was at the performance
Of the tragedy OF ''Merope," and did
not weep; surprise was expressed.
Il could cry my eyes out" she said,
"but I have to go out to supper to-
night"
La Gabrielli, celebrated singer,
having asked 5000 ducats from the
Empress of Russia as heD<fee for
singing at St. Petersburg for two
months, the latter replied: II pay
none of my field marshals on that
SCALE" I'm that case" said La Ga
brieli, "your majesty has only to
make your field marshals sing" The
empress paid the 5000 ducats without
further demur.

Bruce handed me the bill Of fare, and
I sat lingering 1t, hardly realizing
what I was doing.
'Order something" he said at last,
Grossly.
"Oh, beg yorr pardon!" I ex.
claimed. The blonde waitress who
always irritated Bruce because there
was no soul back of her pretty face,
smiled knowingly as gave my order.
We ate dinner in silence, and soon
afterward Bruce babe me goodnight
at my door. My heart stopped beat
ing and ! seemed sinking out of ex-
istence.
I awoke to the new day in glad
ness of spirit, my mind full of the
dear home folks, and what should
be able to do for them.
There was a knock at the door.
My landlady handed me a letter from
| Mr.. Haverknap. It was to advise me
| that he would call at ten o'clock to
take me away, instead of II, as had
been arranged. 1t was now nine. 1
hurried dressing, crowded the last
article into my bursting trunk, and
was only through when the carriage
stopped below.
I did not glance toward Bruce's
door as I went out. Mr.. Haverknap
put me into the carriage and we were
on our way to the church. AS we
passed the little cafe I involuntarily
glanced out of the window. Bruce
was just entering. He did not see me,
and was glad.
We had reached the church.
Friends who had been invited had not
arrived, owing probably to the change
in the hour. Tho minister was not
there.
''Wait here" Mr.. Haverknap said,
as the sexton let us in, ''I'll step over
to the parsonage"
I waited. My heart began to beat
wildly, and my head seemed bursting.
A mad thought possessed me, and I
could not put it away. I peeped out
and saw the friends whom we had
expected coming down the street.
That decided me. I opened the door
and slipped out around the church.
ran like deer down side street,
through an alley, crossed the boule-
ward, painting, breathless, reached
and entered the little cafe.
Bruce sat alone at our little table,
his breakfast untouched before him.
I sat down opposite him.
He looked at me supplied. The
waitress came up.
"Coffee and rolls?" she asked,
glancing curiously at my costume.
I nodded. Anything to get rid of
her. Bruce looked at me strangely,
almost reprovingly.
II couldn't help it, Bruce" said
quietly. Il couldn't 60 on with it,"
He picked up the morning paper
and glanced down the columns.
"There's boat for St. Joe at
$780," he said; II think we can catch
it,"
The girl brought my rolls and cof-
fee. Bruce threw down some money,
and we went out from the little cafe,
but to return after a time-to sing,
to work, to paint, to starve together.

The Novel Of Next Year
BY EDWARD d. APPLETON,
Publishing D. Appleton 4 Co.,

Soon the expression "the novel of the
year" will be misnomer Perhaps that
time is already at hand. And why, do you
ask, will this phrase cease to apply in the
sense that it is now commonly used?
Because the day of half-million sellers
is past, or practically so. Hereafter, the
field will be more evenly divided so far as
the triumphs of good fiction is concerned.
More good novels will enjoy comparatively
large sales, and no one novel will monopo-

musical talent far beyond the ordi-

large proportion of the friends of
the church did not purchase entrance
cards, though they intended to at

door. When the night, on which it
was to be given, arrived there was an
immense turn out, and the crowds of
people making their way toward the

the grass grew luxuriously, and was
kept in good condition by constant
attention. Hesitating to enter the
building before the concert was actu-
ally begun the people fingered there
in groups. Benches were improvised,
and the lawn itself formed attractive
seats. Finally the first number of the
programme was begun. All the
church windows were wide open and
the strains of music fioated out on the
evening air with even finer effect than
could be enjoyed within the edifice.
The audience on the outside was add

preferring the cool of the lawn and
the refreshing breezes to the less COM

enormous success both in the aualitp

that he would always be a failure,
unless he were gigantic success. I
saw in him spark of that unfortu-
nate genius which is akin to mad
ness. He was either in the heights
or in the depths, and he had no
strain of the practical in his make
up. His father had recently died and
left his estate to his nephew. This
had not served to mollify Bruce. He
smoked away his life and his nerves,
pessimistic, impracticable, impossible,
and altogether lovable. He was an
artist in every fiber Of his being.
Well, we went to the lake. We
rowed many miles along the shore,
the wind blowing in our faces. We
laughed and talked, and sketched as
freely and enthusiastically as if this
were the beginning rather than the
end. There was no sound of funeral
dirge in all the music of nature.
We lunched on bananas bought Of
the Italian peddler, who, Bruce as
sured me, had slept with them to
encourage their ripening. They were
cheaper that way, and we were eco
nomical.
The heart had gone out Of the day.
It was dying. The lights were twink
