THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The feast OF Purim. commemorative OF
the do-verance Of the Jews from Persian
slavery, will begin at sunset to-day and
will be celebrated by Jews all over the
world. In the various houses OF worship
the Book OF Esther Will be read. and. this
over. there viii be merrymalxing. for the
festival Is one OF rejoicing and not OF
prayer. To be jolly and have good time
on this occasion is enjOined on all good
Jews, who are even commanded TO drink
wine in celebration OF the triumph OF
Esther and the death OF Haman. The
most popular form OF entertainment IS
masquerading. and on Purim eve great
numbers Of men. women and children
wear grotesque costumes and visit the
homes OF their friends. knowing that a
warm welcome and refreshments await
them.

20 "A recently issued Treasury account, the
Prince OF Wales drew last year from the
duchy OF Cornwall shnpFs a notable in
crease in the Es-ue Of that estate since
1887, when IL brought only $4,000. The
returns mounted steadily throughout
Queen NictOria's reign until In the year
before his accession King Edward drew
t6I 200 from this source. The increase OF
100000 in the last ten years Is probably
due 20 the falling-in OF leases on the Lon
don portion OF the estate. which includes
the greater part OF KensingtOn and Is by
far the most valuable portion OF the
