Revenues Of Mobiles.

The discussion OF the subject Of the
royal income and revenues raises many
interesting questions. historical as we'll
as financial. The Duchy Of Cornwall,
the estates of which lie not only In Corn
wall but in Devonshire, Somerset, Wilt
shire, Surrey and even London, may
be taken as an instance, for Il Is not only
the oldest duchy in England. but was
itself the first constituted in the kingdom
The title duke was introduced in 1887.
when King Edward III erected the lord
ships. castles and lands constituting the
earldom OF Cornwall into a duchy. This
he conferred upon his eldest son, Prince
Edward of Woodstock, afterward known
as the Black Prince-from the color Of
his armor. of course, and not his deeds,
which were honorable and glorious.
"One of the minor rights OF the Duchy
OF Cornwall. in common with that OF Lam
caster. is OF claim on vessels wrecked on
the shores Of Britain not otherwise legal
ly claimed. The Duchy OF Lancaster,
which belongs to the reigning sovereign
by private right and as an appurtenance
from the crown, again has a curious and
we believe unique right-that Of appoint
Ing its own chancellor. in whose name a
chancery court is held.
Financially 1t Is of interest to note
that the Duchy OF Cornwall under the
management OF the late prince consort
so improved that the rent roll rose from
41I,OOO a year TO 10000 during King
Edwards life When King George became
Prince OF Wales the revenue rose about
f72.oQO. and last year 1t brought in
fS7,OOO.
The Duchy OF Lancaster has estates
In no fewer than thirteen counties. and
embraces meads. forests, chases and
woods. Originally they belonged to Saxon
mobiles. who by rebelling against William
the Conqueror had their lands confiscated
10 the crown. These estates have also

ing In certain departments they pay
very heavily.
Yet the occupation that of all others
gives most pleasure and perhaps does
most good is the purely esthetic. 1t con-
sksts In the planning and cultivating of
the private gardens. These squares. each
about a pole in area. are worked volun-
tarily out of school hours. and each is de-
signed by its owner. The care and ingen-
uity expended would surprise. may I say,
the clever makers of the formal beds in
London parks. Cunning sheds for the
protection of seedlings are concocted of
old clothes and sticks, with devices for
admitting the sun In the day. Small
glass projections. some only an inch or
two in size are put together out OF any
broken fragments of glass and ranged
round the more valuable seedlings. The
paths between beds are neatly paved with
stones. and many designs show a real
artistic sense that goes with genuine en-
joyment OF the game.
Value Of the System.
And what happens afterward to these
companies of happy gardeners" whose
hands are busy with picking in place of
stealing? Can a French frame or a
greenhouse or a mich COW do what
parents and the law have failed to do
and turn a thief into a citizen? Can the
field undo the work Of the street? The
answer is a plain "Yes." Boys keep in
very close touch with their old masters
after they leave: they are visited. they
write letters, they come back to visit
the school. They discover almost the
pride of an ''old boy proper.
The system is SO thorough that almost
exhaustive statistics can be kept, and the
record stands at 30 per cent of successes
Ninety Of every hundred get and keep
good employments. Some home office
schools send a considerable percentage
of their boys to the dominions, but from
