TRUE WEALTH.

'Tis a false doctrine and most grave And yet 'tis taught us every day. That men grow rich by what they save And poor by what they give away. Yet to say this I now make bold And hope my words with you may

or 1906 the King or hanover, the
grandfather of Princess Alexandra,
was led by his warm friendship for
Emperor Francis Joseph to take the
losing side, with the result that when
Prussia had crushed Austria he was
dethroned and his dominions added to
the Pruss1an crown. There is still
Guelph party in Hanover and every
year on the Duke Of Cumberland's
birthday a deputation goes to Gmun-
den to carry him the greetings Of his
"lOyal subjects in Hanover" The
Guelphian movement in Hanover,
however, is suppressed with an iron
hand by the most approved German
police methods. Since the crash the
royal family has lived in Austria, at
Penzing, near Vienna, and at Gmun-
den, in upper Austria. The head OF
the family uses his English title, Cum
berland, but keeps up all the state and
ceremony Of king at his residences.
Princess Alexandra is the maternal
granddaughter Of the King Of Den
mark, and is consequently niece to
the Empress-mother of Russia, and her
namesake, the Queen Of England, as
we'll as the King Of Greece. She Is
a tall, pleasant-looking GIRL but not
particularly beautiful. She is an en-
thusiastic yachtswoman and sails her
own boat over the. waters Of the
treacherous Gmunden Lake. She has
been much at the Austrian court,
where the Cumberlands take prece
dence Of every one and are treated as
a reigning family. She is a Protest
ant, and therefore religiously eligible
to be the German Crown Princes
bride.

WOMAN LIGHTHOUSE-kEEPER.
Arduous Task of Mrs. Nancy Rose, Who
Retires, Aged 70 Years.

Arduous Task of Mrs. Nancy Rose, Who
Retires, Aged 70 Years.
For nearly half century Mrs. Nam
cy Rose has had the sole responsibility
of keeping the lighthouse that marks
the crest of Stony Point on the Hud-
son. Now, at the age Of 70, she pro-
poses to give up her arduous work and
give over the watching Of the beacon
lights, and the responsibility Of the
fog bell, into younger hands.
Mrs. Rose was left a widow, with
six children, when she undertook the
work Of the Stony Point lighthouse. 1t
was in 1852 that Alexander Rose re-
ceived the appointment of lighthouse
keeper. A few years later, while car
rying timbers for the bell tower which
the government was then constructing,
he ruptured blood vessel, and few
weeks later he died. Mrs Rose STEP
ped into his place as lighthouse keep
erd, and although the work is tedious
and the situation isolated and lonely,
for forty-seven years the brave woman
has kept at her post, trimmed the
lights and kept the fog bell ringing.
The cottage at the foot Of the light
house where the Rose family have liv-
ed so long Is twenty-seven years old,
but the lighthouse itself is seventy.
seven, and is built on the foundation
Of Stony Point Fort, the old walls
having been filled in and long since be.
come a terrace of grass and small
shrubs. Dozens of bullets and grape
shot, rusty and soil eaten, have been
found about the fort, several fine speci-
mems Of which Mrs. Rose has preserv.
ed. A flagpole marks the spot where
Mad Anthony Wayne Of revolutionary
fame is supposed to have fallen, and
with him Jacob Parkinson, great
grandfather of Mrs. Rose, was wound
ed.
The lighthouse lamps have to be re-
plenished at midnight, and the fog
bell machinery has to be wound up
every three and three-quarters hours.
In 1890 the bell was removed about
an eighth Of a mile away from the
house and nearer the water. This made
extra labor and exposure. But Mrs.
Rose never filled in her duty, be the
weather scorching hot or cold with
winter billiards.. For her work she
received q maximum salary Of $500 a
year. Two Of Mrs. Roses children re-
main with her, and q pretty cottage
has been built in the locality Of Stony
Point, which the family will occupy,
bidding good-by to the lighthouse
where this faithful woman has toiled
for nearly fifty years.

For the first time in the history Of the
State since 1884 no tax for the support
or maintenance of the State government,
or any Of the State institutions, will be
levied this year. The condition Of the
State treasury is such that ali charges
against it for the purposes Of administra-
ton Of the government are amply provid-
ed for by the money on hand. There
was in the general fund Oct. /, $1,515,-
7O1. BY reason of this fact the Gov
ernor, Secretary Of State and State
Treasurer, by authority Of law, have
been enabled to wipe out the State tax.
The only tax to be levied generally is
that for the benefit of the common
schools, which is seven-tenths of q mill,
after deducting 100000 of the license
moneys received by the State from the
railroads. This tax amounts to $1,O27,-

Oil CODsumDtiOu.

For many months the oil consump-
ton Of the world has exceeded the
production, for which reason financiers
and merchants have feared possible
exhaustion Of the oil fields. Reports
published in the Manual Of Statistics,
however, show an extensive decrease
in the stock Of crude petroleum in the
greatest of all American fields, Penn
sylvania, within the last two years and
figures Of equal authority indicate that
for months the consumption Of oil from
Pennsylvania and West Virginia wells
has been very largely in excess OF
production. The stock of crude Penn
sylyania petroleum above ground In
December, 1900, was 13,174,717 barrels,
while in December, 1902, the amount
thus stored was only 5000, 127 barrels.
