Until quite lately the King of Da-
holneY received the equivalent of 55
a week from the French Government
tO enable him to live in exile at
lefereiniquea But eventeally he ap-
pealed for an increase in salary in
order to maintain a larger retinue,
with the result that 110 was granted
an additional Ave francs. After all,
twenty-four shillings a week is not

The privilege of being King of
Luxemburg is not an enviable one
from a financial point of view, at
any rate, for although the salary
acerning to the post is supposed to
be $15,000 a year, there is often
difficulty in collecting as many bun-
d1 -0d5. The whole kingdoni only ex-
tends over tu1 area of 1,000 square
miles, defended by an army of 850
men. The inhabitants pay taxes
when they choose to do so, but dia
,rectly the Government becomes un-
popular the country refuses to sup-
port it, and the soldiers, whose pay
is neonths and not infrequently years
overdue, side with the people. At
such times tho Nina has to give his

The unfortunate Emperor Kwang

Mutsu Hito, the 123r4 Mikado of
the L' I
.mpire, a ways wears P. sheiple
uniform, and never goes about alone.
When the Mikado had his first ehoto-
graph taken he exclaimed that if he
was as ugly as it represented him to
be he would never sit ' for his por-
trait again. At the Emperor's re, -
quest the Japanese Legations in
other tas
coun As refuse to Asue his
picture. In truth, the Mikado is a
plain Man, somewhat bow-legged and
pigeon-toed; but ho has the air of
majesty • none the ' less, He has
shown himself a wise, good, and able
ruler.
It is not generally known that a
statue of Lord Salisbury ae a Chris -
tian warrior appears in 0110 of the
niches of the interesting and beauti-
ful reredos in the chapel of All Sonls'
College, Oxford. About forty years
ago the Premier was elected a Irel-
1 ONV of this college, and about the
•
snme tune an elaborate stone screen
was erected in the chapel attached
to the Fellows' house. The sculptor
evidently preferred to make his own
saints instead of accepting those
canonized by the Church, and Lord
Salisbury was chosen to 1111 n th
p e
vacant gap, and is therefore im-
mortalized a.s a Christian warrior.
Otojiro Kawakami, whose company
is playing with such success in Lon -
don, is the Henry Irving of Japan.
In fact his innueece upon tho drama
of his native country has been even
more. marked than in the ease of the
great English actor. Originally a
diplomatist attached to the Japan -
ese Embassy in Paris, he was fascin-
cited by the 7110111,11theatre, and on
his return to Tokio set to work to
apply tho lessons learned in Paris,
with the result that he completely
revolutionized the Japanese stage.
To effect this he had to be his ONV11
playwright, and, in addition to the
many original dramas which flowed
from his clever pen, numerous excel-
lent adaptations of European plays
have beon produced at his Tokio
theatre. Even now he is giving the
finishing touches to Japanese „ ver -
sions of "Nell Gwynn" and "The
Merchant of Venice,"

ENGINEERING IN CHINA.
-
Celestials Anticipated. Us in Som
of Our Modern Inventions,
From what has been learned about
China in recent years the conclusion
lies uppermost that while Chinese
engineering, hes proceeded quite sue-
cessfully along stationary lines, it,
has rested for centuries without pro-
gross in all thnt involves motion.
Thus, while their fixed structures are
notable and frequently beautiful,
their machines for doing work and
moving people and goods are rudely
primitive. The curious Chinese
wheelbarrow is still a most import-
ant factor in land transportation,
but modem, .'cage construction" for
racLiced by the
buildings, has been 1)1(10111011ar
Chinese for centuries, and is found
all 0.,,ur 50.010. This is one of the
nueny interesting observations made
by y Mr, 'William Barclay Parsons
during (0 railroad survey in 18 08,
,aud recorded in his book entieled
"An American Engineer in China."
Another 01(41001(4101)111 of how the Chi-
licee have, by centuries, anticipated
some of our modern inventioas, is
afforclea by the system of dividing
np the hull of a boat by bulkheads
