Again, there are many habits to which no one ,gins thought, and 1t conies as a dis- agreeable surprise to ba fold that they •oro not sanitary. Take the matter of underclothing, for example. Not ninny years ago it wits not unusual to find pewons, even those of good breeding and culture, who would have resented in period goad Nth lhs intimation that their habits were not cleanly, and yet who in the winter -tine wore the same undercloth- ing at night that they did In tate day- , There has been a reform in this re- .spoct, and there are few, we hope, who retain its unhygienic custom. Those ...who must have protection of this sort have a special set of underclothing for night weer, But we are still far from perfect in the hygienic of clothing. Many persons wear a set of under- clothes each day for a week, a few have e complete change every 'day, and more change twice in the week. This lest - named habit is, perhaps, in the present state of hygenlc fntelllgenee,—and of pocket,—the best that can be looked for, :and It is really sufficient for daily •bathers. There is a way in which this custom -can be made more cleanly and more fyglenic without adding to the laundry hill. The average person wearing two sets of underclothing a week will make the change In the middle of the week, but it would be for better if the two sets were kept going the entire week on alternate days. Wllh the biweekly change, the clothes worn during the day are aired only for seven or eight hours in °the twenty-four, and never have the purifying process of a sunning. 'With two sets going on alternate days, -ono set can be aired two nights and one day, and if possible should be ming up whore they can receive the direct rays Of the sun for some hours. They should not be lcept In the dark closet. Light, and especially sunlight, Is a powerful disinfecting and cleansing agent, This way of managing will - •keep each change as fresh and sweet as if it had been laundered, and that weak. ening of Lha system shown by a prone- ness to succumb to colds, which Is so often apparently inexplicable, but which is really due to a reabsorption of the '`'animal secretions from t.naired under- clothing, will be averted. • AVOIDABLE SOURCES OF DI1 11TItLr11IA. The English physician, Longstaff, who hos compiled some interesting statistics en "Social, Political and Medical" topics, has clothed them in delightful English; every woman of the land may read and not only enjoy, but profit thereby. Ills investigations of the sources of disease have been Thorough, and the result should he known all over the world. It Is the source which we must know bo - fore we can effectually stamp out dis- ease. Langstaff helps us in this, for ho has not only compiled figures, but made them a revelation of hidden and unsu- spected sources of infection and con- tagion. That terror to every mother 01 young children, diphtheria, he asserts origin- ,, ales in the country. It has long been dcnown that farm animals are subject to throat diseases, and in some coun- tries the peasantry live in close reln- tionship with their live stock. A Sen- •• siltve throat is more susceptible to the Inroads of chance bacterin, and diph- theria bacilli multiply faster than al- most any other yet known parasite. When an epidemic roes among farm • animals It is found that there is likely to be one of diphtheria or some equally dangerous throat trouble 'among the farmers' families.

KING UNDER COST PRICE b1i1TISII PEOPLE ARE NOT TAXED 'I'0 DEFRAY E o'PPNSES. British Nation Nave Best 01 1110 Bargain Made by King on Ills Accession. Neither icing Edward nor the princes or prineesses of his house cost the Eng- lish taxpayer a single cent, and Pro- fessor Maslerman was perfectly limit - lied In declaring the oilier day at Cam- bridge that "John Bull got his monarchy below cost, and even made a profit on it" The fact of the matter is that the British Sovereign possesses by right of Inheritance an immense amount of very valuable property, known by the name et "the Crown lands," which belongs to ex-offcio es a species of life tenant, mucic in tate shine way that the terri- torial magnates in England hold their ancestral estates. That is to say, the "Crown lands" cannot be alienated by the Sovereign for any period beyond the length of his reign, Just es the own- er of an entailed country place cannot lease It or otherwise dispose of it for any term beyond that of his own life, save with the legal consent of his im- medlnte heirs. Following the example of his mother, the late Queen Victoria, and of his rand -uncle, King William IV„ England's present ruler an his re- cession to the throne made a statutory emollient with Parliament and with the national treasury whereby, inreturn for his surrender to the State of the major portion of the Crown property for the duration of his life he reneived in an undertaking from the na- tion to furnish him with a civil fist 11 nearly $3,000,000 a year and to provide adequate allowances for the princes and princesses of THE ROYAL HOUSE. It was not the Bing and his family who made the best of this bargain, but the State. For, owing to the careful management and extraordinary devel- opment of tate Crown property, coupled with the amazing growth in the value of building land during the last fifty years, the treasury is managing to not profits of as much as $1,000,000 a year from the proceeds of the Crown pro- perty, after all the expenses of its management, the civil list of the Icing and Queen, and the allowances of the royal princes and princesses have been deducted. In fact, the calculation •has been made that Instead of Queen Vic- toria and her family having been a source of an expense to the national exchequer, they have aim 1837 bene- fited the State to the extent of at least $35,000,000—that Is to say, they have re- lieved the mount taxpayer er from the n of P fiscal burden, thanks to the bargain concluded by Queen Victoria near three- score and ten ,years ago, and renewed by King Edward at the time of his ac- cession, in 1001. The agreement will come to an end at his death, as It Is impossible for him to bind his succes- sor. Rut there is every reason to be- lieve that when the Prince of Wales be- comes sovereign as George V. he will be led by motives of policy and expedi- ency to,agree to a similar arrangement. He. will be perfectly justified, however, in exacting from the Slate as a quid pro quo for the Crown lands a considerably larger civil list than that now enjoyed by his father. For, large as are the rev- enues derived therefrom et the present. moment, they are bound within the next few years to receive A PIIENOMENAL INCREASE by the falling in of the leases of large tracts of land in Landon, `including the whole of Regent Street, with all the buildings thereon -that is to say, one of the most important thoroughfares in the fashionable shopping district. From this it will be seen that the English people can, thanks to their enjoyment of the revenues of the ably administered Crown property, afford to pay consid- erably more than they do toward the maintenance of their reigning house without it costing the tax -payer a cent. The expression crown lands ,covers a great variety of property. It comprises, as 1 just mentioned above, entire shop- p.ihtg and residential districts of Lpndon, salmon fishings in Scotland, over 100; 000 acres of the finest agricultural land in England alone, huge forests—among thorn Windsor, Great Pork and the New Forest—canals, mines of every descrip- tion from those of gold In Wales to those of lead in the Isle of Alan; salt works and an extraordinary number of feudal dues and rents, tine very names of which are beyond the comprehension of even the Englishman of average edu- cation. Then there are quarries and royalties and forfeitures, treasure troves and a quantity of other emotes of rev- enue, evanile, though the "deodand" was the forfeiture to the Crown of nny chattel which'ltad beaan the cause of the death, nceldontal, or otherwise, of a human be. ing; end by way of illustration 1 may mention that if; a carriage ran over a child and killed' it, the carriage became ESCHEATIIID TO THE CROWN. Ail these revenues derived from the, Crown lands aro pall, along with tine other revenues of the State, into what is known as the Consolidated Fund, The first charge upon the latter is the interest of the national debt, the second charge is the of 111 list Of the Sovereign and it is only after these two obliga- Bons have been nil in their ehtirity that the balance becomes available for the expenses in OOnne0llon with thee, maintenance of 100 Government. This shows bolter than anyihing else that tate reigning house al England is in the eyes of tate law not a stipendiary of the State, but a neatened orei ther of the national trtIsury, m conaluslnn It may be mentioned that the existence of the CI'owii lands dates from the dawn of English )tislory, and Doomsday Book, camp ftad by WB- liam the Conqueror in the year 1085 A, 1)„ shows that even in those days they comprised, in ,addition to 011 sorts ot other properly, royalties end fees, ne less than 1,422 1ltanOes in t ngland.

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Notes of Interest About Some of the World's Prominent People. • Mme, Patti possesses an old doll called "Henrietta" which was given to her when she was seven years old for sing- ing nicely. M. Roussllere, the now famous opera- tic tenor, was once a poor I rench bleak - smith. In New York he is said to have received the princely salary of $1,600 a night, First Lieutenant von Franck, the oldest officer In the German army, lies cele- brated his 100th birthday et Charlotten- burg. He is 1n full possession of his faculties. Sir Edward Clarke has a great know- ledge of medicine, as well es of law, and is regarded as a special authority on poisons. His favorite bobbles are boating and piano -playing. Tho Popo is one of the most frugal of men. He receives annually a sum equivalent to (100,000 for tate upkeep of Itis establishment and Ills own personal expenses, bol so Sew are his watts that he does not spend more than $1,000 a year on himself. Sir Redvers Buller was urged by his relatives when he was a youth to de- vote himself to politics, but he an- nounced that he would rather he a pri- vate in the regiment than be Prime Mlnisier. Sir Redvers is fond of read- ing historical novels. Ilabibulla Ithan, the Amer of Af- ghanistan, has considerable architec- tural skill, and is said to design his own palaces. Stone and marble enter largely. Into their construction, and they con- tain many beautiful things specially manufactured in Europe for the Afghan Court, Including electric lights, pianos, and the phonograph. The Ameer's gardens are on a gorgeous scale, and when he entertains at night the display of fireworks in his grounds is extra- ordinarily brilliant. The Duke of Abruzzi, who has at last conquered Ruwenzori, the highest peak of the Mountain of the Moon, "never before couched by human foot," has al- ways displayed a passion for mountain- eering and exploration. Before he was eighteen the Duke started on a tour round the world in an Italian warship. His successful ascent of Mount Elias, in Alaska, In 1897 was a feat never before accomplished, and in 1890 he made his famous voyage in the Stella Polare, when he got eighteen nautical utiles nearere the North Pole than Nansen had done. Lord Curzon was a perfect enigma to his masters when he was at Eton. He was always apparently wasting his time, and seemed to pay no attention whatever to lessons; and yet whenever he was called upon suddenly for an answer he was as ready as any boy who had been listening to the master's re- marks, and could frequently give an ex- planation of a difilcult matter when no one ease could. A master said recently that Curzon gave him more trouble than any other boy, owing to his fond- ness for playing pranks in class, yet 1t seemed impossible to scorn him off. Giovanni Segeniinl, the artist, who recently died,, was known as "the painter of tate Alps" on account of his fondness for depicting mountain scenery. He was born at Arco, in the Tyrol, on a slope of the Alps overlook- ing Italy. His parents were very poor, and at his mother's death, when he was only five. years old, his father sent him to live with relatives at Milan, lie stayed there for two years and then ran away, Intending to tramp from Italy to Paris. One evening some farm people found the boy .utterly overcome by fatigue. and hunger, and, taking pity on him, gave him food, and then employed him in minding pigs.. This 'not very savoury occupation' greatly pleased young Segantini, and he amused Min - self by drawing portraits of his charges on stones and pieces of slate. Later on ho went baok,to Milan, and there studied art, Sir Thomas henry Sanderson, who retired a few months ago, after having been for over eleven years British Per- manent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, always declared that the esentiel qualillcations for a young man entering upona diplomatic career were "the ability to remember ell he hears and the sense to keep it to himself." A slanting joke among those intimate with the Under-Secreary was (hat he never answered the simplest remark wlhoul carefully turning it, over in hiss mind and examining it in all its bearings. On one occasion he met a' well-known poli- tician in the corridor of lite Foreign Office, who called out genially, "A very fine day, Sir Thomas."

DESERVED TO SUCCEED. A lalo matrimonial engagement la said to bo the outcome of a daring little Wee o1 repartee on the part of a young woman who has enjoyed the reputation of being not only a wit, but a beauty and belle ns well. Although quite young, she was known to itavo deellned the honor of matrimonial alliance with several so•culled "catches," and 1t be- gun al last 10 00 rumored that her mind and heart were sot on one of her ad- mirers who had not as yet the temerity to come to the point, However That may be, the young man in question was her partner fn an as. sentbly, and during the intermission for supper was seated with her 1n a sequestered nook, "far from the mad- ding crowd." Apropos of something that had been said, lie asked her laugh- ingly 11 the report was true that she had refused all thu eligible men In her set. She blushed vividly for a moment. then suddenly raised her head, looked him full In the face, and said, pointedly :— "Yes, It Is true—present company ex- cepted." it is, perhaps, needless to state that they remained in the "sequestered nook" s01110 time. Rumor also bus it that the above conversation was overheard by one of the discarded suitors, who forth- with "gave It away." SAVED BABY'S LIFE. There are thousands of mothers throughout Canada who have no hesita- tion in saying that the good health en- joyed by their little ones is entirely due to the judicious use of Baby's Own Tab- lets. And there aro many mothers who do not hesitate to say that at critical periods the Tablets have saved a baby life. Mrs. Wm. Fortin, St, Genevieve, Que., says: "1 feel sure that Baby's Own Tablets saved my ba.by's, life. When I first began giving them to him ho was so badly constipated that the bowels could only be moved by injec- tion, and he suffered terribly. After the first day I saw a marked change, and in less than a week the trouble was entirely removed, and bo has since en- joyed the best of health."
