Few people outside English court
circles are aware that King George ID
a whiskey distfller on . very lafee
scale ana that the famous LochnagaI
whiskey Is produced on his Balmorai
estate. the great distilIeries being SIT
mated about two miles from tho castle.

and Of the Car, but also many OF tne
Leading clubs In London. and the mar
kee generally. the revenues defiseo
therefrom by King Georges pnVy
purse being enough to pay every pen
ny of expense In connection with the
maintenance OF the BalmorA Cast.o
and estate. and to leave very hand

Iochnaear whiskey repaid the late
Oueen Victoria over and over again
every bit Of money that she had IN
vested In the purchase Of the BalE1ral
property, In the early years OF her
marriage.
King George IL far from being tho
only European monarch to derive an
income from the production and sale
OF alcoholic beverages. Thus. Emperor
Francis Joseph owns Q number OF
brandy distilleries, a. we'll Al nearly
all the vineyards whence tho Tokay
wine is produced. The Kaiser also
grows a large VARIETY Of Rhine Wines

Oscar was not above recommending
his own beer. and in Wanting Its mer-

In bestowing the civil decoration OF
the third class Of the Order Of the
Bath upon ten omcers Of the navy re-
ouires explanation. According to the
old established laws governing the
Order Of the Bath. the military cross
thereof can only be conferred upon Of
ficers above the rank Of captain In
the army, and Of lieutenant in the
navy. who have been mentioned in the
dispatches a. having distinguishes
themselves In action against tho enc
my. Now. although Great Britain has
constantly some war In progress in
one OF another part Of the world.
these wxts are Invariably on land, and
not At sea. The result is that whereas
o,Acers Of the army have continual
opportunities Of winning the cross OF
the Order Of the Bath. the odacers OF
the navy have had no such occasion
since the operations In connection
with the bombardment Of Alexandra,
just thirty years ago.
There IL no such restriction with re-
gard to the civil division Of the Order
Of the Bath. and taking advantage OF
this, the King has, just distributes
the ten civil knighthoods above mem
toned among A. many naval omcoTs,
in order to repair tho neglect SUI
fered BY the senior service In con-
nection with the bestowal Of the
order.
