Richest Family in Europe.

1t Is not generally known that the
Imperial family Of Russia is the
richest royal family in Europe, and
derives its vast wealth from three
sources-the State treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
lands), and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer in Harper's
Weekly gives some interesting facts.
The State treasury provides for the
Car as the sovereign; the imperial
domains are the joint property Of the
members of the House of Romanoff,
but administered by the head of the
house; and the cabinet properties"
are the personal property of the
reigning sovereign as such.
The State treasury pays out
100000 per annum for the needs
Of the imperial mouse, principally for
the maintenance of the palaces and
the officials and servants attached to
them. The reigning empress, for ex-
ample, has an allowance of 800, 900
per year, and the dowager empress
the same. Every child born to the
Gar receives from birth to the age
of twenty-one nearly $4,000 a year,
while the heir to the throne receives
annually, In addition to the mainte-
nance of palaces, $4,000. Daugh-
tiers receive a dowry of one million
roubles when they marry. The fig
ures under this head are comparative

charged to the State treasury is less
than n per cent. of the annual

made such a favorable impression up
on the King that he asked her to be

denial, however, and she became
rather embarrassed. II assure you,
sir" she said, 81 could not think of
playing. 1 don't know the difference

There was an awkward silence, and
then she realized what she had said
