: Home of DR.. Manette !
lsreclal correspondence.l

There have been many books writ
ten upon Dickens London. the London
which is so rapidly vanishing away.
and many Dickens localities have been
satisfactorily identified and described
by the authors. But there seems al
ways to have been doubt as to the
exact situation of one of the most in
teresting of all the houses inhabited
by the characters of the master-the
quiet lodgings of DR.. Manette, that
wonderfully pathetic figure in the
Tale of Two Cities" Recently one of
the parish magazines of the metropolis
came out with the following state
ment:
Charles Dickens in his Tale OF Two
Cities describes Manette street. with
Its quaint goldbeater's arm projecting
from a shop on the south side. We are
sorry to learn from Mr.. Dickson. who
has beaten out gold leaf in the odd
papeled shop for no less than forty
five years. that foreign competition
has so reduced business that he Is
compelled to retire from 1t. 1t is with
ip1ch regret that we have to record
the loss Of yet another old Soho trade.

no personal eXtravagances, but lives a
simple and strenuous life of hard
work and little luxury. He spends
little money on his table, for the cuis-
inc of the German Imperial residence
is notorious for its inferiority.
The Kaiser is not a dandy, and
spends comparatively small
amount on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not of particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-
sive. He is not a gambler, and does
not indulge in other designations
which would be excusable in his po-
sition.
Imperial Splendor.
He is. however, extravagant in one
respect, namely in keeping up the
imperial magnificence of his Court on
a scale never previously attempted by
a King of Prussia. The support of re-
latives forms a first charge on the
Kaiser's income He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons.
and has to maintain a separate Court
for several distant relatives.
The Crown Prince, now he is mar
ried, will be surrounded by his own
Court. comprising marshal, mas
ter of ceremonies, master of horse,
a master of the hunt, lords in wait
ing. gentlemen in waiting. aides-de-
camp, and so forth. The mainten-
ance of the Crown Princely Court is
expected to cost the Kaiser at least
$2,500,000 per annum. His other sons
are growing up, and it will soon be
necessary to provide for them in the
same way.
The Kaiser has TO maintain a sep
srate Court for Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, Prince Frederic Leopold of Prus-
sia, Prince Albrecht of Prussia. and
the widowed Princess Frederic Karl
of Prussia. His own Court is an ex-
tremely expensive luxury.
There is a minister of the Imperial
house, a director of the Imperial
household. director of the royal Ar
chives. and four councillors of the
royal household. There is a president
of heraldry, a senior lord in waiting
Court marshal. master of the hunt
master of the kitchen, a master of
the royal chambers. house marshal.
master of the stables. master of
ceremonies. and numerous councillors
attached to all these departments.
Travelling Expenses.

splendor in which he lives at home
Wherever he goes he is accompanied
by large suite of officers and gentle
men and Of household and court Of

carriages, his own horses, his own

forth. AS he journeys his entire

place.

John Burroughs Duplicates Story Of
Instinct With Another

John Burroughs, the naturalist, was
laughing about the story, widely pub
lished not long since, of a wild duck
that got salt water mussel caught on
its tongue, and had intelligence
enough to fly from the salt to the
fresh water where 1t dipped tie mus.

thus causing it to loosen it's firm grip.

it as implicitly as l believe the story
of the crippled lion and the young
lieutenant.
"A young lieutenant, during an At
rican campaign. came one day upon a
badly crippled lion. The great brute
limped over the tawny sand on three
paws, holding its fourth paw in the
air. And every now and then, with a
kind Of groan, 1t would pause and lick
the injured paw piteously.
When the lion saw the young lieu
tenant it came slowly toward him He
stood his ground, rife in hand. But
the beast meant no harm. 1t drew
close to him; 1t rubbed against him
with soft feline purrs; it extended its
hurt paw.
The lieutenant examined the paw
and found that there was a large
thorn in it. He extracted the thorn,
the lion roaring with pain, and he
bound up the wound with his handker-
chief. Then, wisi every manifestation
of relief and gratitude, the animal
withdrew.
But 1t remembered its benefactor.

The German Emperor, with an an
nual income of about four millions
dollars is poor man, and has great
difficulty in making both ends meet,
declares the London Express He does
not receive a farthing in his capacity
as German Emperor, but fulfils the
duties of this honorary position free
of charges to the federation of Ger
man states. The Kaiser draws his In
come, first, as the King of Prussia !;
and, second, as a private landowner.
His income as King of Prussia
ernounts approximately to s4,000,000,
per annum. The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance of ap-
proximately 100000, and the Emper-
or of Austria an annual allowance OF
more than s4.00O,000. Both these mon
archs receive additional allowance for
certain definite purposes, and both of
them own vast landed estates far SUI
peror's possessions.
The Sultan of Turkey receives an
annual allowance of of s10,000000,
and the King of Italy draws over 3d.
100000 per annum; while the in
comes of several monarchs of smaller
states are nearly as large as that of
the King of Prussia.
The amount of $4000,000 granted
annually to the German Emperor in
his capacity as King of Prussia is
not taken from the national ex
chequer, but from revenues from
state dominions which were formerly
the private property of the Prussian
royal house. The Crown lands were
handed over to the state, and in re-
turn the state pays a fixed annual
income to the monarch.
A Large Landowner.
The Kaiser owns eighty-three land.
ed estates, comprising a total OF
250,000 acres. He is the greatest
landowner in Germany. and his pos
sessions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estate rank next to
his own in acreage. These are the
Prince of Pless, who owns 125.O00
acres; the Duke of Ujest, who owns
10000 acres; and the Duke of Rati-
bor, who owns $4,000 acres. Some OF
the land of the Kaiser's estate is
rented to farmers; but the Emperor
carries on busines on his own ac-
count in several parts OF the country.
The Kaiser's workmen are paid
abnormally high wages. and all his
employees receive liberal pensions in
their old age, or in case of sickness.
He also provides literally for the
widows and children out OF his pri-
vate purse. All these payments con-
sumo large proportion of the profits
so that the Emperor's income from his
estates is comparatively small.
Practically speaking, the German
Emperor is thus Obliged to live on his
royal i.come of $4,000.000 per an
mum. which is altogether insufficient
