HOW TITLES ARE TAXED.
What a Man Must Pay in England
to Become a Peer.
From Tit-Bits.

run Iit-6lts.
The elevation of John Morley and Sir
H. H. Fowler to the peerage is prob
ably as pleasing to themselves as 1t is
TO their thousands of admirers. but
each of the gentlemen SO honored will
have to pay a fee of at least 600 for
the privilege of adding the title of Wis
count" to his name, which is the cost of
letters patent for viscounty of the
United Kingdom.
For higher rank the fees amount to
more. The new Duke of Devonshire. for
instance. when he comes to take the
necessary letters patent which will
fully entitle him to his own will have
to pay $3.50 for the same. in addition to
paying away an immense fortune in the
shape of death duties. II the change
had been that of marqufsate the fee
would have been $500. \ newly made
earl pays ESQ. a baron i1JU and bar
Onet 800.
These fees. however. are only part of
the expense entailed by a man who is
honored with a title. The cost of in
vestiture. heraldry. etc, considerably
augments the amount. II may be re-
membered that when Lord Roberts ac
copied his earldom in 1901 and was sub
sequently given tine Garter he was pre-
scented with a bill for f1.15O which at
first he strongly objected to pay
To the average reader 1t will prob
ably seem absurd that when such re-
wards for serving the country are
granted the recipient should SO suffer
in pocket. 1t is not so bad nowadays
however. as in the time OF James l. for
instance. who mulcted his baronets
pretty heavily for their privileges They.

Practical Wives.

The wives Of men of sentiment often
possess vein Of strong common sense
and matter of fact nature which may
at times serve to bring their poetical
husbands down from their flights Of
fancy rather rudely.
Jean Paul represents Siebenkas as
reading one Of his beautiful fancies to
his wife, who listened with eyes cast
down, apparently absorbed in his
words. As he finished and waited for
her appreciation to express itself she
said quickly:
Don't put on those stockings tomor-
