The German Emperor, with an an
nual income Of about four million dol
lars is a poor man, and has great diff
ficulty in making both ends meet, de-
clares 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 charge to the federation Of German
States. The Kaiser draws his income,
first, as King Of Prussia; and, second,
as private landowner.
His income as King Of Prussia
amounts approximately to $4,OOO,OOO,
per annum. The Emperor Of Russia
receives an annual allowance Of ap-
proximately $5,OOO,OOO, and the En-
peror Of Austria an annual allowance
Of more than 100000. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
for certain definite purposes, and both
Of them own vast landed estates far
superior In acreage to the German
Emperor's possessions.
The Sultan of Turkey receives an
oAhuoA oiiO" ouCc VI SIO,OOO,OOO, duu
the King Of Italy draws over $780,
600 per annum; while the incomes Of
several monarchs of smaller States are
nearly as large as that Of the King
Of Prussia.
The amount of 100000 granted
annually to the German Emperor in
his capacity as King Of Prussia is not
taken from the national exchequer, but
from revenues from State dominions
which were formerly the private prop
erty Of the Prussian royal house. The
Crown lands were handed over to the
State, and in return the State pays q
fixed annual income to the monarch.
The Kaiser owns eighty-three land
ed estates, comprising total Of $780,
600 acres. He is the greatest land
owner in Germany, and his posses
sions far exceed those Of the three
landowners whose estates rank next
to his own in acreage. These are the
Prince Of Pless, who owns 125,OOO
acres; the Duke Of Ujest, who owns
100000; and the Duke Of Ratibor, who
owns $4,000 acres. Some Of the land
Of the Kaiser's estates Is rented to
farmers; but the Emperor carries on
business on his own account in several
parts of the country.

Market for StunnDs.

A new industry in the region at the
head Of the lakes Is the gathering Of
the tree stumps for use in the Maine
shipyards. A large number Of wooden
ships are built every year, and it has
been found that the most efficient cor
ner braces are those made from these
stumps, and hundreds are shipped east
every day. The roots of the trees and
a short section of the stump are used
in making the braces, and stumps
from trees about a foot in diameter
are found to be the best. The stump Is
taken from the ground and roughly
hewn into shape before being shipped.
After its receipt at the shipyards it
is made into a perfect brace. The cost
Of carload Of the stumps is close to
$500, and the freight charges run over
$500 a car.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

A stranger is fair game to pygmy,
a legitimate mark for his little deadly
arrows. He sometimes traps the I'M
wary. Having tied cord to his ankle,
the pygmy conceals himself in the
bush. The other end of the string is
tied to bough Of tree which
stretches across the forest path. When
some one comes that way the pygmy
agitates the bough by Jerking his
ankle. Every sound or motion Of the
forest is Of moment, and the new
conner stands still to look and listen.
Then the pygmy shoots him in the

IN THE GLOVER BLOSSOMa

Let's rest here in Clover deep!
Vain regret and care Will keep!
Woo the sky with all it's blue,
Simmer of the sunshine, too!
Song of river, laugh of child,
Humblest thing that ever smlledi
Steep the soul and battle the feet
In the Clover blossoms sweet!
Let's forget all weary tMnga!
Woo the blossoms and the wings
Where the bending azure meets
Argosies of silver fleets!
All the World is full Of joy,
Take it as a child its toy
tIing it's fever and unrest
Down to the deep ocean breast
Of life's yesterdays. To-day
Gods glad promises hold sway,
In the rivers rush and ken
OF the happy hearts of men!
Woo the sky with all Its blue
Simmer of the sunshine, too;
Steep the soul and battle the feet.
In the Clover blossoms sweet!
Wading in the Clover sea
Well clasp hands with memory!
Let her lead us swift along
BY the golden chain of song;
Leaning, list'ning the refrain
Of the Robins trill again!
All, the voices loved of yore,
Cav not they will come no more!
Speaking with US as it's meet
Mid the Clover blossoms sweet;
they've forgot the angels kiss!
Knowing only that we miss
Tender tones we called our own
On the throne of love and home!
So we steep our souls to-day
In the blossoms Ger the way!

yet who believes that he might still be
redeemed by his love for a woman
who is to him as a star Of hope to one

She looked at him wonderingly. OF

"A child" he went on, thinks as
