tho throne. But this rise is due. not 70
any increased extravaganza. but To the
fact that there are several strong, healthy
and hungry young princes and a princess
to he fed, waited OIL and generally looked
after.
King George. after going very carefully
into the household accounts, has arrived
at the perfectly sensible conclusion that
almost without perceptib1y decreasing the
quality or quantity of the food provided
at the various tables in the royal estab-
lshments the catering expenses might ne
reduced to Lord Fsrquhar's original esti-
mate Of $4,000, which would enable his
majesty to save $4,000 a year on this
head.

Part Of this can be saved in checking
waste and part in putting stop to need
less luxuries and eAtravagances. The
servants table is especially extravagant--
the upper servants have a. late dinner at
:. at which never less than FIVE courses
are served. and in addition quart of
whisky, four syphons of soda water aud
three bottles of port wine are sent up to
the servants messroom every evening. At
the servants dinner some of the most
costly dishes. such as roast ortolans. are
frequently served. and SO pampered are
these servitors of royalty that. to whet
their appetites, sherry and bitters are now
served to them before dinner. 1t is pro
posed to cut down the servants dinner (.
"A good plain three-course meal and allow
each L. cents night for beer or whisky
or whatever liquid they wish to drink
which they must supply to themselves.
The waste that goes on in the royal es-
Enlistment is enormous. Every nigh
joints of beef and mutton. and chickens
pheasants and other birds that have
, scarcely been tasted leave both the
household and royal ia bles to appear bu
once again In the form of cold side dishes
at lunch. They then disappear. a Ger.
tain amount of this food is given away
to the very poor. but the greater part o
il is sold and the proceeds pooled among
the upper servants.
4 significant fact in connection with tht
disposal of the food that leaves the roya
and household tables is that a retired
, royal servant runs a restaurant in West
minister and no doubt his customers
often taste the fare that a. day or SO pre-
viously appeared on the royal table.
Under the new regime the supplies Of
food to all the royal residences Will be
cut down to something more in accord
ance with their real needs. and though il
will he obviously impossible to put stor
to waste altogether. it Will be very con-
siderably reduced.

working order. Lord Farqulnar is q bank
er and a keen. shrewd man of business.
He worked out all estimate by which the
whole of the household catering could be
well done for about $4,000 per annun.
This estimate was worked out al follows
by HE day:
Household table for Il ladies and gentle
Servants table for 80 OF the upper servants. 30
Total $50
II he remainder numbering about $50, are on
board wages
This estimate was equal to an allow
ance Of S14o.N0-odd per annum for the
whole of the catering expenses. and Lord
Farouhar, when he resigned his position
as master Of the household told King Ed
ward that the catering arrangements

Sir Derek Keppel has an iron will. a
temper that no one who knows him cares
to arouse and a. clear brain. He has
been an equerry to King George for the
last nineteen years. but has never held

will have to be found to do the work,
for the king is absolutely determined to
save money.
Parliament allows the king 1850 900 a
year. Of which $e65, 900 is for the mainte-
nance Of the royal household. and about
covers it's present cost. King George
could. Of course. cut down the annual
expenses Of the household by S15oGO to-
morrow without INJECTING the least incon-
veniencc on himself or impairing the dig

sential way. On tho salary list of the

of others would nc not only to invite "A
great deal of public criticism. but also to
provide good argument for those WHO

King George therefore, has turned his

The mere 5000 year which the Brit

to permit the comfort he wishes his off
spring to enjoy.
His majesty has besides the Prince

About provision for his eldest son King
George need not trouble his head. Tho

quite satisfied that $4,000 a year is the
minimum figure upon which Prince Al

sons Of King George could afford To mar

be content with an infinitely smaller
establishment than their eldest brother,

About a provision for the Princess Mary.
however, there IL not the same need of
anxiety. Her royal ..ghness will prob
