900; but he must have only macaroni for
luncheon now and then, and lives largely off
fruit
1t is surprising that England pays her king
only $2,25OOO0 year. But then Edward is
not so much of king as William Nicholas
and the cabinet and parliament run the
country, and let Edward go around laying
corner stones, drinking at the watering places
and letting his light shine at the leading race
tracks.
At first glance it looks like there would be
lot of money in the king business. But, in
spite of the fact that there ism It great deal
of competition, a king has to wear good
clothes, stop only at the best hotels and smoke
cigars with bands around them so that the
expenses eat up most of the profits. Perhaps
that is the reason there are so few candidates
running for king this year.-Baltmore Sun.

THE KING BUSINESS.
Numerous Drawbacks to What Looks Like
an Easy Job.

The emperor of Germany is in distress. He
is feeling the pinch of hard times and the
poor old fellow asks the German reichstag to
raise his salary. His allowance now is only
$4,5O2,770 year-$65O,0C0 as king of Prus
STA, which is a sort of side line with him, and
$3,852,770. as deutcher kaiser, his regular
working job. To the man who is getting about
500 a month this sounds like considerable
money, but the kaiser has raised large
family, the boys never have done much in
business and the daughters-in-law and other
members of the family are living off the old
man. So you see how it is.
It worries the kaiser when he reflects that
Nicholas gets $8,OOO,00O a year as czar of
Russia, when Wilhelm has longer hours and
does more work for half the pay.
Even the old Austrian emperor, who is too
old to enjoy buying things, or wearing or eat
ing or drinking them, gets $4,7O0,0O0 year,
and is able to save money, having no boys to
send to college and no girls to squander his
cash on big hats.

FASHION MAD.

AS might have been expected, tie women
made emphatic denial, and bitter criticism Of
DR.. Broughton s charge that they were in
pursuit Of pleasure, dress and fattery."
On the questions of pleasure and Aattery
there is room for doubt, as it is difficult to
derstand how any woman can gain either
pleasure or fattery from some Of the abomlna-
tons decreed by fashion.
But it's the fashion; yes, and they wear
it, satisfied and serene, not because it's pretty,
not because it's becoming, but because it's
the "latest" If DIR. Broughton meant clash
ion" when he said "dress," at least one Of
his charges is true
Too often this besetting sin of woman is
referred to with an indulgent smile similar to
the one used for restless boy s mischievous
pranks. The cold man, is berated, unmercl-
fully, for chasing the dollar; but with vision
of round hats, three-cornered hats, turned-up
hats, turned-down hats, big hats, little hats,
and multitudinous dresses before him, one
cannot blame him for fast sprinting after the
nimble and evasive coin.
The time and money spent on useless dress
ing is simply appalling. Even in rural dis
tricts, laggard, overworked women stitch and
embroider all the week and Sundays rig their
weary bodies up in this hard-wrought fnery
and quietly inspect sister members during
services, so that the minute the benediction
is ended, perfect fusillade of compliments
and criticisms can be fired.
It makes a slow little somebody sometimes
long for primitive worship, or for the power
of becoming invisible at will.
There seems to be no end in sight for this
bondage Where and how will deliverance
come?

 Mir. Taft will address gathering of veterans of the Civil and Spanish- . morrow. The party win then proceed to Toledo, where steamer will be taken for the home of the Middfebass Fishing Club. which is to be host dur ing the week. Mir. Taft will return to Teldo September 2 to deliver q non political speech to the national en- eampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. His address tomorrow will also be devoid of politics,
 of the Republican candidate was the occasion tonight of a rousing fare- we'll by the several hundred guests of the Homestead. the hotel where the Taft party has lived during the past two months. When the train pulled out at s.3o o'clock a hearty cheer was given and many we'll li1wiehss were expressed during the few minutes ths party mingled with the. crowd on tht station platform. Mrs. Taft was ths guest of honor at a tea given tilis aft, ernoon ct the hotel club house ai which many of the women guests ot the hotel participated. Mrs. Leila 8 Hickox. of Louisiana- was the hos' tess.
 MT. Taft's universal expression on bidding his Southern friends good bye was that he had enjoyed every minute of his stay In the Virginia mountains and that the health and vixor which he sought in coming here has been amply supplied. Mir. Taft expressed himself as gratified at the news of the Iowa compromise, which resulted in an amendment to the pri' mary law at the next session of ths LeRislature and also in the counting of only Republican votes at the next election on the question of the success sor of Senator Allison. Tn the opinion of MT. Taft this arrangement h satisfactory and relieves the nationa Situation in Iowa from any complica' ton as . result of the local contest for the senatorship.

 conesruing tho chronology of the New Teetanfent there is even to-day much argument. and many tneories have been advanced to explain it's ap- parent anachronisms. Perhaps the Tubingen theory Briefly this theory holds that if a revelation 10 mirscu- lous, it naturally escapes the restric- tions of 6 purely historical narrative. In other words a miraculous revelation may deal at once with events past, present or future. Of all theories put forward this seems best to answer the objections of critics who look TOT flaws in the New Testament.
 One of the great questions Of the Bibiesis that concerning the canonieity of .its beoks---that is their right to De quoted Aas Scripture. Different yer sions of the Bible admit or exclude various books.~ and those letter are gensfsaly rsferred,to as thesapesryphal books Originally the word of Greek origin. srnesnt hidden---thst is eso. tireiy - different Ineaning--that of doubtful, or even spurious. Toe books which form the Apocrypha of the Old Testament of which the ordi- nary reader of the Bible knows little or nothing include those known as Esdras. Tobit. Judith. Barnoh, the Song of Three Holy Children. the History of susanns, the History of the Destruction of Bel and Dragon, and some others.
 But vague as may be the origin or the Bible. and questionable qs It's corl- position may be held by scholars and soieutists it undoubtedly remains the greategt literary achievement in the history of the world. While pr. Aked eriticises various details in his Apple- ton article he points out that the spirit rather than. the latter of the Bible is to be studied and followed. The danger which he sees in # comes not from kuowfedge of this remark cerning the simpiese facts about it.
