COST OF BEING A KING.
Why the Kaiser, with $4,500,000 a Year, Is Hard Up and
the Cruel Situation of Monarchs Who Are Much Worse Off.
TIip Gorman Emperor, as King of
Tussla, wants to have his salary
raised. He Is not getting enough
pocket money, and he has demanded
more. Most of us have repeated the
bid nursery rhyme, “It must be nice to
be a king," nnd doubtless It Is, some-
tlms. But It must be horrid to be a
king and not have enough money to
spend. One does not easily Imagine
a king nowadays not having all he
.wants, especially a king of a leading
European country. But so It is. In
other words, the Kaiser Is hard up.
He hns ndmitted It. At present he re
ceives from the State $fi50,000 as Ger
man Emperor and nearly $4,000,000 ns
King of Prussia. The last increase,
which amounted to 5750,000, was made
1889, In the second year of his
reign. Still, It is not enough. The
Kaiser today actually is receiving less
than the old Kings mutually received.
An Income exceeding four and a half
million dollars a year Is not a despic
able sum, even for Kaiser Wilhelm,
but those who know say it is not ex
cessive. There are no allowances to
other members of the royal family and
.very little comes from the royal do
mains. Some one began, a year or
two ngo, to try and foot up the Kais
er’s tailor's bill. They became tired
in the middle nnd never got to the
end. The Kaiser has several hundred
Uniforms; complete uniforms of all
^he Prussian regiments—horse, foot
nnd artillery—besides the regiments
of the lesser states and those of which
he holds honorary rank In foreign
countries. He has Jeweled accoutre
ments equal to those of an Indian
prince, and every appointment Is per
iod. The Kaiser is a great stickler
in matters of dress, and none can ever
find a fault in his personal equipment.
is a connoisseur in the art of se
curing npparel and in the art of wear
ing it to the best advantage. Nobody
has ever denied that Kaiser Wilhelm
ns Emperor looks the part.
Kings nnd emperors cannot trav
el alone. The Kaiser always has a
(arge retinue with him. He forgets
S oothing that can make for pomp and
plendor. Hence his travelling ex
penses nmount To a pretty tall figure.
'Then, in addition to the upkeep of
his fifty-two castles, palaces, country
homes, innumerable farms and for
ests, he is expected to maintain the
foyal theatres at Berlin, Hanover and
passel, and has to foot the bills, for
the royal concerts. The Kaiser has
»een very Tortunnte, however, In the
$ray of receiving legacies from weal
thy subjects. Only a few years ago
«err Wilhelm Hilderbraud left him
•n estate worth $376,000 and |750,000
cash - -A West Prussian land
owner gave him an estate of 5000
j|cres as an earnest of greater pos
sessions to come at the donor's death.
Baroness Oppenheim-Cohn gave him
jjSOO.OOO and Herr Henckel von Don-
Hersiyarch placed two and a half mil
lion dollars at his disposal in 1906.
Statistics published In various for
eign journals prove that the Kaiser is
J >y no means the best paid monarch
!A Europe, The Czar of Russia has
that honor. The Russian imperial fain-
P is the wealthiest in the world of
jfulers. It derives its wealth from
itbree sources—the State treasury, the
■Imperial domains (formerly church
lands) andthe so-called "cabinet prop
erties." The State treasury provides
fpr the'Czar as soverign, the imperial
domains are the joint property of the
ffiembers of the House of Romanoff,
tyit administered by the head of the
house; the "cabinet properties" are
the personal possessions of the reign
ing soverign as such. No data of any
kind are available for estimating the
amcidnt of property held by the Czar
and other members of his house in
thelf private capacity as individuals.
It is known to be very considerable
.both in land and gold, but is very rig
idly treated as a purely private mat
ter.
The State treasury pays out $7,-
(000,000 annually for the needs of the
^mperial house, principally for the
maintenance of the palaces and the
officials attached to them. The
feigning Empress has an allowance
of $100,000 per year, and the Dowager
Empress the same. Every child born
’o the Czar receives from blriTi to
j^he’age of twenty-one nearly $20,000
a year, while the heir to the throne
receives annually, in addition to the
maintenance of palaces, $50,000.
paughters receive a dowry of $500,-
p00 when they marry.
; The imperial domains, the main
^owce ’of the wealth of the Roman-
Joffs, were originally church lands,
•and comprise 21,328,000 acres, an area
torger than all Ireland. The clear
^profit derived from them, in their
gricultural, viticult'ural, pastoral
tnd forest yield, is over $10,000,000
r annum. During the past hundred
>ars no less a sum than $126,000,-
10 has been paid out to the imperial
bouse.
, The “cabinet properties” comprise
116,000,000 acres, and belong to the
^signing Czar personally as Czar.
This property is almost entirely in
Liberia, and includes the best and
largest of the gold and silver mines.
King Edward gets $2,350,000 an-
jally for his own use. Each mem-
jr of the British royal family re
gives various grants, which exceed
total $500,000 per annum. Besides
, (jffleial salary, King E-dward has
II. large private purse, but court gos
sip has had it that the King could do
jjarith more pocket money. In fact, it
bas been openly stated that King Ed-
Jjfrard is very often short of funds for
Ills private needs.
The Emperor of Austria has a
salary of $4,720,000, which is derived
from two portions of his monarchy.
Thus the Kaiser receives far less
than his Austrian neighbor.
The King of Italy has $3,220,000 a
year. The King of Greece has only
$200,000 a year. This sum is so in
adequate for the position that Great
Britain, France and Russia each pay
him $20,000 a year.
The Fre'nch President has a salary
and allowance of $240,000 a year.
The President of the United States
has to make both ends meet on
$50,000. Compared with these small
er grants, the luxury in which the
average American millionaire is able
to indulge is munificent. He has
the riches without the pomp or state
to maintain, without the huge staffs
of officials, without the palaces in
which he cannot live. The Kaiser
maintains palaces which he never
sees from one year's end to another.
It is not pleasant to have a crown
and a limited purse with it.—New
York Sunday World.
INSURED BY WEIGHT.
I
Men Who Have Had Their Lives In
sured fer So Much a Pound.
It is not often that one i^ insured
according to weight, but there are
several instances on record which it
is interesting to recall. Readers will
perhaps recollect the case of a high-
caste Burmese midget named Smaun
Sing Hpoo, who appeared in London
some years ago and then visited the
States, and who, before starling for
the "Land of the Free,” was insured at
Lloyds at so much the pound. Smaun
was 34 inches high and weighed 20
pounds, and the policy was made out
for $20,000, being at the rate of $1000
for ev£ry 16 ounces of his weight.
Smaun’s manager, who was a cute
German with some journalistic gifts,
thought that by insuring the midget
for so much per pound he would catch
the fancy of the American newspaper
men. And he succeeded. Smaun’s
weight was reduced to grains and his
value to cents, ana various statistical
fiends went to work and evolved re
markable and curious sums by the
simple methods of dividing his value
by his weight, and vice versa. Smaun
was a sensation in the States, but
it is just a question whether the novel
way of effecting his insurance was not
answerable for'his notoriety.
John Locke Rowe, a well known
Boston mail order magnate, never
took the trouble to get insured until
he was well over 50, and then he was
so corpulent that he frequently de
clared no insurance company would
take the risk. But several agents
were after him for many years, and
one man in particular was extraordi
narily persistent He bearded Rowe in
his private office one morning and be
gan by stating that he did not Intend
to leave until the big merchant had
agreed to take out a policy. Rowe
swore he wouldn’t do anything of the
sort, but admired the man’s persist
ence too much to order him out of the
office. At last the agent said:
"Ijook here, Mr. Rowe, what’s the
good of kicking? You’ve got to take
out a policy sooner or later, and It
might just as well be In our office.
I’ll take you any way you like. Why”—
struck by a brilliant idea and regard
ing with some interest Rowe’s mas
sive proportions—“I’ll tell you what
I’ll do. I’ll make you out a policy at so
much a pound and every ounce of
flesh you lose after the document’s
signed you shall have back so much
in the form of a bonus.”
Rowe laughed so immoderately that
the insurance man get nervous lest
he should go off into "a fit of apoplexy
before he could get his papers out,
but he recovered himself and agreed
to take out a policy at $100 the
pound, the terms to be according to
the plan suggested by the agent. Mr.
Rowe weighed 349 pounds, and was
promptly insured by the persistent
agent for $34,900. Unfortunately, how
ever, Mr. Rowe did not lose weight,
but rather put It on, so that when
he died, five years later, he scaled
considerably over 400 pounds. He was
always known in Boston as the man
who was worth $100 a pound.
Mertinet, an eccentric French writ
er, was insured for 50 francs per
French pound, and the agreement
with the company was that at his
death his relatives should receive a
sum of money equal to 50 francs for
every pound that the corpse weighed.
Curiously enough, almost directly the
policy was made out Bertinet began
to lose weight and continued to grow
thin, until at the time of his death
he scaled only two-thirds of what he
weighed when he signed his policy.
The relatives were going to* law, but,
being shown that they had no case,
decided to take the amount to which
they were entitled and say no more
about it.—Tit-Bits.

FEA8T OF THE GARLANDS.
Queer Swlse Marriage Market-
Peculiar Ways Men and Women
Seek Mate3.
The marriage market (or fair)
which was held recently at Eoaussinea
In Belgium has many counterparts
elsewhere.
In several of Hie more remote Swlse
cantons, for example, there is held
what Is known as the feast of the
garlands. The marriageable maidens
assemble at sunset, sing, dance and
make merry. Each wears a chaplet
of flowers on her forehead and carries
a nosegay tied with bright colored
ribbon In' her hand.
If a lad Is attracted by a maid he
plucks a flower from her bunch. She
pretends not to notice, but when the
merrytrakinf breaks up at dawn she
will, if she reciprocates his feelings,
tie the entire bouquet by the ribbon
to the handle of the door of the
cabin wherein he resides or alterna
tively fling it through the open case
ment of his bedchamber.
The famous Tunis marriage mart,
„of which so much has been written,
is held twice a year, In the spring
and the autumn. The Tunisian girls
attend in their hundreds, each with
her dowry in coin and jewelry dls"
posed about her person. The "golden
girdle of maidenhood" encircles her
waist, and In It Is an unsheathed dag
ger. When this is gently removed
by a passing gallant and presently re
turned It means that a proposal has
been made.
A prettier custom prevails among
the Ooraon maidens, who at stated
Intervals assemble In the market
place. In front of each Is a lighted
lamp, emblem of conjugal fidelity. A
young man feels attracted. He gent
ly blows upon the flame, extinguish
ing it. The girl relights it; it is a
rejection. If she Igjives It alone the
offer is acceptable.
Even In England these curious mar
kets are not unknown, although they
are not openly acknowledged as such.
One has been held on St Martha’s
Hill, Surrey, on each recurring Gcod
Friday during some centuries. And
the statute and mon fairs that are
still celebrated Jn various rural lo
calities are marriage marts In all but
name.—Pearson’s Weekly.
London’s Chief Rabbi.
In answer to the Inquiry of a cor-
respondent “The London Times"
says:
"The chief rabbi of London Is real
ly the hekd or the archbishop of the
Jews. He is elected by representa
tives of the one hundred congrega
tions, which have votes In keeping
with their donations to the fund from
which the chief rabbi receiver £2,-
000 a year. Besides being the su
pervisor of all religious matters per
taining to the one hundred thousand
Jews in the English congregations,
he issues the permit for every Jew
ish marriage which takes place with-
in their Jurisdiction. The present
Incumbent is the Rev. Dr. Hefrmann
Adler, who succeeded his father, who
came into the office in 1845."
Arabian Night a Stories.
The "Arabian Nights" is an exten
sive collection of tales forming part of
the Arabic literature, and the exact
title of which Is "The Book of the
Thousand and One Nights.” They
were first made known to Europe by
Antoine Galland, between 1704 and
1717. He was a French Orientalist,
who succeeded, after much effort, in
obtaining a manuscript, which he sup
plemented by gathering tales from
professional story-tellers, whom ha
met during bis travels in the East.

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished ou Grape-Nuts,
The value of this famous food Is
shown In many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its
chemical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which
Nature uses to build up brain and
nerve cells. "
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because
the brain and nervous system of the
child grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts In not only building up
her own strength but in nourishing
her baby at the same time. She
writes:
“After my baby came I did not re
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said I could not nuns the baby
as I did not have nourishment for
her, besides I was too weak.
“He Bald I might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and I.
“My baby is now four months old,
is in fine condition, I am nursing her
and doing all my work and never felt
better in my life." “There’s a Rea
son.”

Cleaning Piano Keys.
Ivory keys may be cleaned and
whitened by mixing prepared white
chalk with a tinge of sweet oil and

Milk for Sunburn
A beauty cure that is engaging tbe
attention of fashionable society at
the moment is the milk cure, and Its
only fault Is that It Is ridiculously
cheap for a cure adopted by fashion
able society.
Milk Is rubbed Into the face at
night with a piece of soft linen and
allowed to dry and in the morning
the face is washed in milk, but no
sop must be used. Skin regularly
washed in milk is declared to be
proof against sunburn.—Indian Lan
cet.
Freshening a Linen Frock.
A linen frock or coat suit that has
shrunk may be lengthened by adding
bands of colored linen.
This Is a fashionable trimming
this season, either put on plain or
joined to the white with scrolls of
soutache braiding, running to the
hem.
A favorite color combination Is yel
low linen on white, braided In white.
Pink and blue are equally good, but
scarcely as unusual.
Often these bands run down either
side of the coat, and the skin has
front panels edged with color with
a hem to match.—New York Press.
Progressive Winnipeg.
Statistics show that Winnipeg is
now the fourth largest manufactur
ing city of Canada, and those who
have studied tbe benevolent econo
mic conditions which must control
her future see a repetition of the
history of St. Louis or Chicago be
fore the capital city of Manitoba.
In 1902 the city of Winnipeg had
a population of 48,411; at the open
ing of the present year the official
figures were 118,000. In that same
year five years ago the total assessa
ble property of the city amounted to
$28,615,H10, and in 1907 had jumped
to $106,188,000. In the same space
of time the bank clearings increased
from $188,370,000 In 1902 to $599,667,-
000 la 1907.—Cement Age.
How to Keep Water Cold.
"Having tried It, I recommond the
following mode of keeping ice water
for a long time in a common pitcher,” j
says a writer in Woman's Home Com- j
panion. “Place between two sheets of
thick brown paper a layer of cotton
bating about half an inch in thick
ness; fasten the ends of the paper
and batting together, forming a cir
cle, then sew or paste a crown over
one end, making a bow the shape of a j
stovepipe TTnt minus the rim. Place
this over an ordinary pitcher filled
with Ice water, making It deep enough
to rest on the table so as to exclude j
the air, and you will be astonished !
to see the length of time that the Ice :
will keep and the water remain cold
after all the Ice has melted."
A Handsome Portiere.
Take a piece of serge or linen the !
required size, make a two-inch hem
at the top, and fasten to wooden har- I
ness rings which have been gilded,
stained or painted to harmonize with
the room. Make a two-inch hem on
each side and ravel the bottom for j
about six Inches and knot Into fringe.
This last, however, is quite optional.
Next outline In colors a bold con
ventional design, either in bands a
little way from the top and bottom, or :
up one side and over the top. To
outline use linen floss with the ordi
nary outline stitch.
Now prepare some aniline dyes of
the required colors, and with a com
mon bristle brush stain the design in
side the outline, and your portiere is
ready, says Woman's Life.
Take a piece of one and one-half
inch rope, and after passing It
through the rings, stretch across the
top of the door and fasten flrml? to
each side; tie loops at each end and
ravel the rope to make tassels. The
rope as well as the design may be
touched up with different colored
bronzes If desired. If you will dip the
rope In strong tar water you will not
be troubled with moths. This meth
od of decoration would be very effec
tive for curtains.
The Best Hammers.
In a recent address before the
Uitlca Chamber of Commerce Sec
retary Cortelyou told the story of a
manufacturer of hammers In central
New York, who, having been asked
how long he had made hammers, re
plied: "I have made them for twen
ty-eight years." "Well, then," said
the questioner, "you ought to be able
to make a pretty good hammer by
this time’’. "No sir," was the old
manufacturer’s reply, "I never made
a pretty good hammer. I make the
best hammers In the United States."
A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUY
ING PAINT.
Everybody should know how simple
and easy It is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market,' which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage of the simple means of pro
tection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk of getting an inferior and adul
terated white lead.
It Is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous ‘‘Dutch Boy Paint
er” trademark on every keg of their
product, an absolute guarantee of its
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Na
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg., New York, and ask for test
equipment.

rapidly three or four minutes, then
drain through a sieve; add cold wa
