TIPS GIVEN BY MoNARcHs.
Crowned Heads Dispense Large Sums
on Their Trips.

on netr trips.
Some of the European moEarchs
give very large tips whenever they
travel, and others, on the contrary,
are quite niggardly. Emperor Nicho-
las of Russia is the most liberal in
this respect. During his brief visit
to France three years ago he spent
$4,000 on tips to servants and almost
as much on presents to officials and
others. King Edward of England is
not quite as generous, but as he trav-
els good deal, both within his own
realm and abroad, he is obliged to lay
aside each year $4,000 as an allow
ance for tips. Emperor William of
Germany is much more generous in a
foreign country than at home and dur
ing his recent visit to Cowes, Eng
land, he spent not less than $4,000
on tips. OF the remaining rulers some
spend reasonable sums and others
very little, but probably quite as
much as they can afford.

MEANT DEATH TO SLEEP.
Alaskan Traveller Followed Night and
Day by Wolves.

Day by Wolves.
A grewsome tale is told by the
Pittsburg Dispatch of the bringing of
the body of the late Mayor of Seattle
from the interior of Alaska. NJ. A.
Mahoney, who had charge of the
body, started alone from Fairbanks
to draw the coffin over the snow road
by sledge- Two days out of Fairbanks
he was crossing level bit of coun-
try over which the trail made way
through forests of giant pine and fir.
With the first shadows of night
there came a long, low wall. 1t was
followed by another and another,
each Enthusiastically nearer The man,
standing on a lonely Alaskan trail.
hundreds of miles from the nearest
habitation, and with a burden on his
hands that he had sworn to bring
safely to civilization, knew what it
meant. It was the cry of the wolf.
Mahoney realized that if he remain
ed on the trail he would never live
to see another day. He knew that
three long days and nights must pass
before he could hope for human help.
He had covered a vast stretch of ter
ed; but he must not think of sleep.
He turned off into the woods, and
under the shelter of the pines built
big fire. 1t was we'll he acted quickly,
for he had scarcely fed his dogs and
snatched morsel of supper himself
when the wolves arrived.
All night long that lonely camp was
surrounded by row of cleaning
eyes. Mahoney sat alone, the coffin
for his seat, with every nerve strain
ed. Once nature took revenge, and
his heavy eyes dropped.
While he dozed the fire died down,
and Mahoney woke with a start A
gaunt gray wolf was poking his nose
very near to him. The man fastened
to throw on more wood. and the
beasts skunk away until only the
gleam of their eyes told that they
were keeping watch.
With the morning sun the wolves
vanished, and Mahoney once more
took up the trail. Not once all day
did he see a sign nor hear sound
from the pack that he knew was sill
emily following. With the sunset.
however, came the long, bloodcurd-
ling wall.
The second night was a fight
against sleep He tied a pine knot to
his right hand. AS he dozed OF, the
flames would burn and waken him.
AS the day before, the wolves de-
parted with the dawn and gave no
sign until evening. Then for a third
time Mahoney went without sleep.
The wolves, their hunger increas-
ing, grew bolder, and crept closer
and closer. Every now and then one
would jump forward and snap at the
feet of the silent watcher. Then Ma
honey, with a blazing brand, would
strike at the glowing eyes and drive
back his foe. When morning came,
the man, half-crazed with fear and
loss Of sleep, once more took the
trail and at noon came to a road
house, where he was cared for. He
slept steadily for eighteen hours, then
resumed his journey.

The years rolled by. A snake one day
Kissed: ~China silk-rea1 Irish lace!a'
And Mrs. Adam did straightway
In patterns hide her lovely face
Then Adams heart grew adam m-ant
AS Ewes new passion he could see
BUY clothes for her2 Iwont-I can't
This is the Eve of Bankruptcy
So cen to-day with girded loin
Poor Adam treads the busy mills:
He patiently runs down the coin
While Eve, at home, runs up the bills.
Yet tbs not all a cheerless plight.
This job of keeping women fair
And Adam finds a huge delight
In this. the Eve of his Despair!

Britain will Construct Torpedo Boats
 Along Experimental Lines.
 London, March "A memorandum of the navy estimates issued tonight shows the estimates for 1s05-0S to he Sl66,945,000 against $1s4,445.OO0 for the current year. The admiralty proposes to build this year. one battleship. four armored cruisers, five ocean going tor pedo boat destroyers. one ocean going torpedo boat destroyer of an experi- mental type. twelve costal torpedo boat destroyers and eleven submarine boats.
 Lord Selborne, in discussing new constructions, said the study of tao. tical and other questions led the board to the conclusion that two classes of destroyers are required. one for ocean work and the other for narrow seas They accordingly decided to combine the qualities of speed and sea-keeptnn power Tn special type of ocean-going destroyer which Is expensive and the numbers of which must necessarily he few. and to design a new tyne of eostal destroyer which will be cheap.
 Between January 1. 1904, and March Sl. 1905. the following ships have been or will be completed and available.
 Four battleships. one arnlored cruis- er four third-class cruisers, twelve submarine boats and a new admiraItv yacht. At the present time the fol- lowing are under construction:
