are exported in large quantities and

The Diamonds of St. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg society is brilliant
not only by reason of the diamonds
and beauty of its women, but also
owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations Of its men. The
ladies wear such diamonds as are
only seen at exhibitions or in the
windows of a fashionable jeweler.
The diamonds of st. Petersburg are
famous, for not only do they fire.

precious stones whose weight could

The jewels one sees at Covent

by comparison. st. Petersburg
seems to buy its diamonds by the
pound, and the wealth "of Ormuz
and Of Ind" scintillates in the ears
and around the slender Threats of
Its fair women.-London Mail.

The kaiser's Salary.

William II. as emperor does not
receive a single groschen from the
imperial exchequer, and he has to
keep up his imperial state out OF
his income as king of Prussia, which
in the year after his ascension was
raised by $625,oOO, his civil list as
king being now over $3,75O,O0O.
which is far larger than that of his
English uncle. The only thing that
King William II. ever got from the
empire was his present of palatial
yacht, which was built and paid fol
as ''frst class" cruiser. First class
it is, but not a cruiser. Otherwise
it is the Prussian people who have
to pay for the luxury Of being ruled
over by king who ex oA1cio is Ger
man emperor.
