is MAN OF SIMPLE HABITS.
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy Not
Given to Ostentation.


Victor Emmanuel III of Italy is one
of the least kingly among European
rulers. In person homely, awkward in
manner and exceedingly shy in COM
pany. he thoroughly detests the dreary
tomfoolery of court life, though he
loyalty refrains from Sinking any of
the duties falling to his position. He
has no fondness for appearing in mill
tary uniform, nor does he imagine that
is an able general simply because on
occasion he has to wear the habili-
ments of soldier. His majesty is
very well read in science and litera-
ture, and is never so contented as
when in the company of his wife. His
court is the most democratic in Eu-
rope. His receptions are omniumga
therums and he is ready to accord an
interview to everyone who has the
slightest pretension to ask for one.

What Would Be Left.

A school inspector was examining
class in a country school. AS an
arithmetic test he put the following
question to one of the classes:
IF had miDce pie and should give
two-ffths to John, two-fifths to
Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry, and
should take one-half of the pie for my
self, what would there be left?'
There was a profound study among
the boys, but finally one lad held up
his hand.
"We1l, my boy, speak up loud, so
that all may hear" said the inspector.
