RELIC OF BATTLE.
Very interesting Book-Memento o.
Battle Trafalgar.

Among quantity of books catalogued
for a sale at Sothby's, in London, re-
Gently was very interesting memento
of the battle of Trafalgar. 1t consisted
of two volumes, bound in rough half
calf, which were not sold, being wish
drawn before the sale took place. These
two interesting volumes contain the ORR
glnal record of the prize money for the
several French and Spanish vessels cap
tured during the engagement. In the
volume containing the grants for those
who served on board the Victory the
following entry occurred: Lord Nelson,
$1S,51713.G: Lords CollingWood and
Northesk, Sir Thomas Louis, and Sir
John Knight, G4629S.4 each" Nothing is
said as to the destination of these two
books, but it will cause no surprise if it
is reported that they will shortly be seen
among the other interesting relics on
board Lord Nelson's old Flagship. the
Victory.

SOME ADVICE TO ALICIA.
American Girl Should Not Lay Dowr

urday Evening Post The reason for this
can be shown to Alicia beyond perad-
venture, If Alicia be ready to listen with
her perfectly good ear.
Suppose we consider the case of Great
Britain, where, asp.we are advised from
British sources, dwell the most perfect

that there are some good specimens;
among the English. The best fed men of

air and exercise; but If you go upon the
crowd you will feel that you somehow
miss the splendid specimens which. from
reading Mrs. Ward and Mr.. kipling, you
had supposed generally to obtain. pre-
vail and dominate in that land. The
English crowd Is no better looking than
any other crowd. and sometimes where
you would expect to find their finest
specimens they are conspicuous by their
absence. For that matter the English
race is growing mixed today. like every

THE NONSENSE MAN.
Edward Lear, Writer of Nonsense
Rhymes, Prince Of Punsters.

Edward Lear of the nonsense
rhymes is comrade to every childly
heart, whether it beat under a pima
fore or beneath the harness of grown
up attire. A correspondent of the
London Spectator writes of this prince
of punsters, as he was seen at Bonn
bay, saying: II took walk with him
one day. He asked me the name of
some trees. / told him they were
called "Jambul' trees in India. He
Immediately produced his sketchbook,
and in his inimitable style drew a bull
looking into a jampot. He said it
would help him to remember the
name. He was a most delightful COM
panion, and was making sketches of
Indian scenes for Lord Northbrook,
governor general. 1t was on this Wis
it that he wrote 1.-The Cummerbund,
those delightful lines well known to
all Anglo-Indians.

which is so distinctvely n part of the
atmosphere Of the game. 1t conveys
more to their minds to say that the man

bags than gravely to announce that the

to score a home run. The blunt" and
the "bush-eaguer' have become inti-
mately interviewer with the speech OF
today. The ''ncknames' of the teams

THE TURNER PRINTS.
important Addition To Boston Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts.

An important addition to the prints
of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts has
been made in memory of Charles Eliot
Norton by his nephew, Francis Bnllard.
1t is & set of touched proofs" and Sc
lected early Impressions Of the line en-

the engravings made and corrected I'M
der his own supervision. The sketches
are of picturesque England and Wales.
Turner -roamed the country over in
quest OF picturesque scenery. thousands
upon thousands Of sketches now housed
ir n" National Gallery speak of his
interchangeable energy in gathering ac-
tual facts Of nature. once possessed of
these data, Turner recreated the scenery
OF England, changing. shifting, magni-
Tying, eliminating In this tfansforma-
ton even the commonplace is invested
with a grandeur and picturesque poetry
which WeaVeS its spell about the behold
er and explains the enthusiasm of the
Turner collector. For purposes of pub
LEGATION these water color sketches with
their glowing hues had to be trans lated
by engraVcrs into values of black and
| white. Ii would have i'll accorded with
Turner'S character had he left these en-
gravers to their own devices in inter-
preting his designs. Each plate was
followed closely step by step; no detail
too minute for the painstaking artist.
Concise and strict were his marginal di-
rectjons to the engravers, as proof after
proof was submitted to his inspection,
until the eXacting master was finally
content to send TO the press these plates
| which stand alone among landscape en-
cravings.
Strictly speaking, we should call the
process used in these plates engraver-
etching, since the acid process is so
very predominant that it leaves little
to the graver. They are etchings in the
manner of engraving done with such
amazing technical skill that only a most
careful scrutiny reveals the almost en-
tire substitution of acid for the ardu-

POCKET MONEY OF MONARCHS.
Louis XVI Faithfully Set Down Incom
inss and Outgoing sof Private Purse.

The whole world has smiled or sighed
over the extraordinary diary in which
Louis XVI entered day after day what
seemed to him best worth recording and
remembering. After days good sport in
the Versailles woods he set down the
number of birds or beasts he had killed.
On days when he abStained from hunt
Ing there is only a 1aconic and signifi-
cant nothing" and in October. 1889
when the Paris mob ragged round the
Palace of Versailles his majesty chron-
iclcs the fact that he has two twenty
one pieces" and adds snrcnely inter
rnpted by events"
That diary, though it viii be long be-
| fore it ceases to interest, does no lon
ger excite curiosity. Meanwhile anoth-
er ami more intimate private journal
| and has just made it's appearance in a
luxurious volume. 1t is edited by the
CONT" de Beauchamp. after the king S
aut oeraph manuscript. preserved at the
National archives,' and contains the ac-
| counts of the kings private expenses
| from 1772 to 1854 and Of the pensions
and qualifications" he gave from 1876
| to l732, all of which he entered in q
neatly kept ledger with his own hands.
In order to fully appreciate the sgni-
Gcance of these entries it must be re-
mcmbered that at Versailles alone
some coo persons were attached to the
kings household and that an equal
number made up the queens particular
| court. The payment of all these was
of course delegated to certain function
aries, and there is no mention of them
in those newly published accounts.
The mornings and outgoings of his
private purse are faithfully set down.
Thus one day he writes; Gained 901.
ut tho lottery" or "Given 15,00Gl. to the
queen for NJ. d'E,s terhazy," or Lost 49,
S74l. 12s. at cards." Given 12,OO01. to
the queen" That his majesty was a
kindly man, given to the diSpensation
Of aims, appears from entries such as
these: TO old BY, aged 80, 2001." ITO
the girl Fcurnet, on her marriage,
POOL" ITO Meroux, gamekeeper who
has lost his cows, 2G01."
So far there is no mystification con-
corning the entries. But what about
the following items I'M the account book
