As she was not of the royal line, 1t was
impossible that she could be recognized

Empress of Austria Economical.
The late empress of Austria placed on
deposit two-thirds OF her allotted revenue.
She was economical, and kept as few
servants about her as possible. She con-
stantly revised the accounts of her hns-
band and succeeded In making important
reductions in his expenses. The Bank of
England received her savings, and there
is a curious story about the refusal of
her beneficiaries to pay the British sue
cessien duties, a refusal which gave the
governors of the bank great deal of
trouble before the matter was adjusted.

1t will no doubt astonish large num-
Der of people that kings and queens,
like poorer nortals who have the gift or
prudence, are. with few exceptions, as
economical as is consistent with their
high position, and every year put by
some portion of their savings for rainy
day. Better than anybody else, perhaps,
monarchs know that 1t is money makes
the mare go and that to spend all their
income as they get 1t is just as great
folly in tEeirse as in their subjects.
The late Queen Victoria was one of the
thdiftiest OF monarchs, and, though her
will has never been for the public eye,
there is reason to believe that the fortune
she left at her death was a large one.

SIOUX CITY ENROLMENT.
Corps Of 200 Teachers Employed
Take Care Of School Children.

Sioux City, Sept. 4.-Almost 200
teachers are employed to take care OF
the children Of various ages who will
report for instruction In the Sioux City
public schools Tuesday morning. To
maintain this corp of teachers tho
board OF education each month pays
out about $11,b00. Besides this there
are other salaries which will easily
swell the amount to $4,000.
From all indications the enrolment
will be larger than that Of any previ-
Gus year. The Increase in the number
OF students In the high school is most
apparent. Already 1t has been found
necessary to add one new teacher and
stu another will likely be added to the
staff by the board Of education to-
morrow night. All the available class
rooms will be crowded to accommodate
the many new students. The two old
literary society rooms have been fitted
UP for recitation rooms In addition
to this the chemical laboratories have
been enlarged to twice their former
capacity.
