The Income of
Kings and Queens

Seventy-five men and one woman
divide among themselves the govern
ments of the world.
In other words, there are seventy
six rulers. Among the number are six
emperors, FIVE sultans, two khans, two
ameers, one khedive, one shah, one
mikado, one bey, one maharaja, and
one rajah.
Of these rulers, the Emperor of
Russia is the richest. He is, indeed,
the richest man in the world. If his
years salary was converted into
I 100000 sovereigns, and these were
placed one on top of another, the re-
suit would be a column of gold o,o7z

- 0OME years ago there was great
stir in the medical world in
y connection with an individual

who accidentally swallowed his
fork, and the newspapers printed col
umns on the wonderful operation
which delivered the unhappy man
from the probable fatal consequences
of his dangerous plight. Paris has a
story that will beat the record for
iron stomachs.
The facts of the phenomenon were
first made known to the Academy of
Medicine by the learned and skilful
DR.. Monier, who modestly related
the following extraordinary facts:
In May last placid-looking peasant
came to the hospital visited by DR..
Monier and asked for a consultation.
DR.. Monier, of course. questioned hin,
as to his malady and ascertained that
the peasant suffered excruciating pains
in his stomach. The man was placed
on the operating table and tapped and
examined minutely about the digestive
apparatus, and finally the radiograph
was brought into requisition. This
instrument revealed the fact that there
was certainly something of metallic
The Indianapolis journal., 1903-10-04
Man LDith the Ostrich Stomach

nature enveioped in the stomach tissue
and that an operation was necessary
to dislodge 1t. The operation was
held on the 2sth of June last, and
when the surgeons knife was applied
Dr. Monief drew out before the as
sembled students and assistants a
couple of coffee spoons, then three
more, then again three, making eight
in all.
This, however, was not all. The
eminent surgeon probed industriously
and his efforts were rewarded by ex
tracing the following articles: a
broken fork. a forkhandle, several
tacks and nails, a needle, a knifeblade,
key, a tooth of a comb (made OF
horn) and several other miscellaneous
pieces of iron, making a grand total
of twenty-five pieces of metal the un-
happy peasant had swallowed, weigh
ing in all 23o grammes.
The account of this perambulant
human hardware shop operation
would seem incredible were it not for
the fact that the account of the opera
ton was given to such a serious body
as the Academy of Medicine by a
surgeon of known reputation and at
tested to by the various assistants al
the hospital, who saw the metal ex-
tracted.
Boarding house visitors will do well
to make a note of this operation.

Enticed into
q Theatre y
The M0nHu1

The mantilla, the favoritc head
dress of Spanish ladies, especially in
South America, is fast becoming the
evening wrap of smart American
women.
There are both black and white
mantillas, but the white are the more
popular. They are very soft and rich
looking, and add greatly to the beauty
of pretty girl.
The smart set are not satisfied with
buying mantillas that are manufac-
tured in their own country, but send
all the way to South America for the
daintiest that are to be bought.
There is special way to wear these
mantillas in order to get the proper
effect. The hair must be done fluffy,
either on the top of the head or on
the neck, and red rose must be worn
just under the edge of the mantilla.
1t is pretty fashion, and bids fair to
become popular.

Do You Want to Insult Him3 Call
Him Soldier.
Deepest of all is the prejudice sailors
have against soldiers, and this extends
even to marines. OF course this ap-
plies mainly to the men who enlist in
time of peace, and know no other pro-
fession.
/ remember an occasion when this
was characteristically illustrated. An
old sailor was brought before police
Judge charged with assaulting ship
mate. The fight had been brought
about by an argument, followed by
an exchange of caustic remarks. The
defendants plea was that he had been
most deeply insulted.
What did he say to your asked
the Judge.

bloomin' soldier"
And Jack was highly indignant when
the jiidge did not consider this suffi-
Icient grounds for assault.

Although many young men would
gladly pay the price, they cannot, for
obvious reasons. Multi-millionaires

these ambitious girls to the best plays

The o1d-fashioned sailor, as l have
said, is not a reader OF books, but il
sometimes happens, especially since
many ships have been equipped with
Libraries, that he will skim over few
works on subjects with which he has
had some slight personal connection.
once heard a conversation between
two old salts, both of whom had been
in Egypt, and one of whom, while a
seaman on some rich tourists yacht,
had accompanied party TO the Pyra-
mids. Later he had read something
about them. But perhaps some of his
ideas had been picked up by listening
to the conversation between members
of the party with which he had visited
the monuments of Egypt's ancient
civilization.
Said Jack to his mate:
We'll, we got to Cairo arter dark,
an put up there at one o them swell
hangouts, where all them swell trav-
elers stop. Next mornin' we gets up
early, an all hands mounts on the
quarter decks o. their ponies. an out
we trots for the country in bunch.
Pretty soon we got out on a sand
plain, an bless my soul, way out on
the horizon we sees what looks like
the roofs o. some tremenjos houses.
Most curious, they was, but not a
circumstance to wot we sees when we
gets nearer-the head of nigger cut

WALL" continued Jack, 'havin' once
seen them Pirymids and Mink, which
is wot them things is called, natural
ly gets interested enough TO take
squint inter history about 'em.
Seems there was king called Faro
wot had a wife that died an wot he
thought a good deal of. So he sez,
I'll build a tombstone for her wot
will be considerable of a tombstone
It's the same chap wot ye reads about

SO this yere Ramsey gets together
an draws out plans fer one o these
Pirymids, all holler inside, an the
King cottons to 'em at once. Then
Ramsey gets all the convicts servjn'

chaps consider reading pernicious
habit, their unprogressiveness is not
to be wondered at When pinning
yarns In the ferecastle it is considered
perfectly legitimate for the spinner to
appeal to the imagination for incidents
if experience fails, but for a book

perhaps, the Bible.
