Italy pays her King 0,070,000 a year; the Austrian Entperor receives $3,900,- 000; the Kaiser of Germany, $4,500,000. It costs a lot to live in these times of high prices of the barest necessaries.

St. Maur came out, handsome, grace- ful, with a sniile on his lips as he sprung to the saddle and saw the crowd outside the station yard; but the sudden vocif- erous cheer that rang out was so unex- pected that for a second it slightly tool: him back, and ther ewes such a surge forward up to the open gateway that he paused lest his horse's hoofs should hurt unwary feet. 4..

One of the most curious sights ol South-western France, in the neigh- borhood of Biarritz, is afforded by flourishing vineyards growing on the dunes of quartz sand cast up by the ocean and driven by the winds. These vineyards aro protected by palisades, and produce great quantities of ex- cellent grapes, They are a modern outgrowth of the ancient Britauny shore vineyards, in which the plants were simply buried in the warm sand, and the grapes were developed almost on the surface of the soil. At that. time no means had been invented to protect the vines and when the wind overwhelmed them with sand, the plants were removed to another local- ity, from which practice arose a local law which treated vineyards as mov- able propetty.

"But," he concluded, °you'll have to sleep in the same bed with him." Edwards agreed to this, and, as it was late at night wont to the room be thought had been assigned to him, Ho hastily premixed for bed and quietly lay down beside his bed fellow. Later in the night he awoke and saw a man sitting at the foot of the bed reading by the light of a. candle. "Great, heavens!" exclaimed Edwards, sitting up. "Are they going to put it third fellow into this bed?" ' Without it word, but with a, terrified expression an his face. the man who had been reading dived. through the win- dow, carrying with him most of the win- dow sash.

The most important of the agricultur- al industries of India is the cultivation of rice, of which a number of varieties are produced, differing in size, shape and color of grain, as well as in suita- bility for culinary purposes. More than 70,000,000 acres are annually put under rice in India, and samples of all the varieties produced have recently been analyzed by Dr. David Hooper. One of these is peculiar in that it is too glut- inous to be boiled in the ordinary way. 'This difficulty ts avoided by boiling it in bamboo tubes, and after being thus prepared, it is left in the tubes to be eaten cold, espeeially by travellers. When the rice is to "be eaten, the bamboo is peeled off and a long ,roll of rice ap- pears, which forms an excellent substi- tute for bread. Ca- r.

Wonderful possibilities are claimed for a Swedish invention called the photo- graphone, by means of which, says the London Graphic, it is said that sound waves can be registered on a sensitized plate. The negative is developed in the or- dinary way and the sound curves trans- ferred to ebony plates, from which the sound is reproduced as by the gramo- phoue. The photogyapaone records can be re- produced ad infinitum, and if the origi- nal music or song should not be strong enough to fill a large concert hall, the sound can be increased as desired. On account of the immense volunae of its sound the inventor prophesies that the photographone will replace fog sirens in lighthouses. Instead of the inarticulate howl which the sirens send out in the night the photographonie foghorn will call out tire name of the lighthouse for miles over the ocean.
