THE MIRACULOUS
HEAD SERVANTS 011ENGLISH
ROYALTY DO WELL.
Those in. Bing George's Employ
.Are Entittoil to Pensions After
]Give Years.
King George is to lose, two of his.
coachmen, who are. leaving him to
better themselves, as the phrase
goes, writes a London corre•spon-
'dent. Most people imagine, and
rather naturally, that wages in. the
royal household are. high, but the
fact is that though many of the
King's servants are paid much bet-
ter than those in th•e service of
fairly wealthy people, others are
not paid nearly so well. For ex-
ample, the, housemaids, kitchen
maids, pantry -men and indoor por-
ters in the royal household get from
$100 to $200 a year, which is slight-
ly lower, if anything, than the aver-
age rate of pay for the minor ser-
vants in wealthy establishments.
An advantage of being in the royal
household, however, is that every
servant, after five years' service be-
comes entitled to a pension, and at
GO receives one equal to two thirds
of his or her salary.
It is the upper servants in the
royal . household who coin money.
The.se are'the chief of the state
pages, the house steward, the
housekeeper, and the chief of the
grooms in waiting, each of whom is
;paid
$3,000 A YEAR IN WAGES,
and also pocket half as much in per-
quisites, or perks as they are called
in the servants' hall. They each
make at least $500 a year in tips
from royal. visitors, while presents
from the King and Queen and other
members of the royal family are
Worth $ 750 more. These upper ser-
vants, by the way, are paid month-
ly, by cheque, while the under ser-
vants get their screws weekly, in
Dash.
With such tidy incomes, it is not
surprising that most of the upper
. royal servants have good balances
at the bank. King Edward's valet,
3 hear, invested his savings in land,
which now brings hila in. a useful in-
oome in the way of ground real s.
Another of the servants in the
.Bung's household formed a cdi
tion of antique silver, of ' hic
was a lirst-rate au lge, that ;
Mixed elft $25,011ir though, t.,e abtual-
ly only gave a quarter of that for it.
With the .means to educate their
children well, most of these upper
royal servants doe so, and the sons
of many of them hold important po-
sitions. One is in the Canadian
valuation office on a salary of $5,000
a year ; several are in the sivil ser-
vice, and, some are

JOHN Me}LIiOY'S . HEART
TROUBLE CURED BY
DODD'S KIDNEY Y PILLS:
Could. Not Work all Summer, and
Doctor Failed to Help, but Cure
Was Quick When He Used Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Benton, N.B., May 13 (Special).
—Bordering on the miraculous is
the cure of John McElroy, a young
man well-known here. He was suf-
fering from heart trouble and was
so bad that all last summer he was
not able to do a day's work.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. In
telling the story of his cure, Mr.
McElroy says:
"I went to a doctor who said I
had palpitation, but his medicine
did not seem to reach the spot. I
suffered for over a year and all last
summer I was not able to do a
day's work, My sleep was broken
and unrefreshing. I felt heavy and
sleepy after meals and I was always -
tired and nervous. I perspired
freely with the least exertion.
"After I had finished taking the
doctor's medicine, and as I felt no
better, I read in an almanac what
Dodd's Kidney Pills could do and
made up my mind to try them. Be-
fore I had finished the first box I
felt different, and by the time the
second was half gone I was working
in the woods and doing good work."
CORRECTED.
"Did you say I was a dead beat ?"
"Nope, I never said you• were
dead."

The most highly paid royal ser -
ants in the world are those of the

ian royal household draws $5,000 a
ear,. the chief groom of the state

ther servants have salaries of

People Across Streets.
The "cul-de-jatte" does not exist
in London, and: there is not even
name in England for him, but in
Paris heis a not unusual speetaele.
There are, in the Paris streets, a
number of men who for some rea-
son have been obliged. to suffer am-
putation of both legs from the
trunk, and who beg for public chair
ity on little carriages on which they
wheel themselves about with :bxtr4-
ordinary skill, using their hands as:
propellers, , It is an unwritten po-
lice rule in Paris that all traffic
must be stopped whenever a "elft-
de-jatte" wishes to cross the road,
and in these days of motor cars nerd
taxicabs the rule is a good one.
But the "cul-de-jatte" has die=
covered that many people who are
uncrippled have more clif&eulby,
than he in getting from one 'pave-
ment to another, and he has turned
his deformity into a money-maker.
Every day at crowded street core,
ners one may see one of these ung
fortunates on his little carriage
heading a crowd of timid folkacross
the road while the policemen at
each side keep balk 'the tad

his cap and asks for "ferry money."
He rarely collects less than 18
pence, and as he repeats the per-

day the simplest calculation will
show that his trade is a good one..
It is true that it needs special ac-
complishments. One of these crip-
ples died in Paris recently leaving
a fortune of $100,000.

ms VERSE.
A little boy who had reached the
age when boys feel that a . watch is
the one thing that makes life worth
living, was told that for the present
a watch could not be given to hire..
13ut Edward continued to tease
for ones until the whole family were
wearied. Then his father, after
explaining that he should certainly
have a watch when he was older,
forbade him to mention the subject.

was their custom, repeated Bible

Tells Row It Cored Ails 'Wife's
Bad Sere.
Rev. Henry J. Munton, of Black -
folds, Alta., writes: "My wife had
a very bad sore foot., which it seem-
ed impossible to get anything to
heal. The sore would heal to a
certain point and then fester again,
and so on. I procured a box of.
Zam-Buk, and after persevering
this herbal balm for some
time the sore was completely
heawithled:
"I have since recommended Zam-
Buk to several of my parishioners,
and it always gives satisfaction."
Another instance in which Zam-
Buk proved of unequalled value is
told by Mr. N. L. Gerry, of Bran-
don, Man. He says : "I had my
left foot run over by a waggon load-
ed with wheat. The foot was very
badly crushed, and my little toe
and the next toe were laid open. I
applied Zam-Buk, and only had to
miss work for two days. Zam-Buk
healed the wound so quickly that
on the third day I was able to put
on my boot and walk to my work.
In a very short time my toes were
quite healed, and the foot is nova` •
as sound as ever, thanks to Zam-
Buk."

Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured.
A Quebec man, N. Semi Tara, of St.
Casimir, writes in a letter dated Mar. 31, 1911:
"I had a very bad skin, ail covered with
eruption, eight years ago. nave had all of
both )ny shoulders covered with it, and the
high part of my arms, and my face, but it
was the worst on my shoulders. I tried many
different remedies tocure it, but nothing was
any good. At last I went to an apothecary.
IIe asked me if I had ever used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I told him no, and I
bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a
cake of Cuticura Soap. I used three boxes
of Cuticura Ointment, but I am glad of
the same, for Cuticura Soap and ointment
completely cured me of my skin eruption.
I spread the Cuticura Ointment on all my
sore parts, and I think that an washing my
face with the Cuticura Soap, it hindered my
eruption from itching and burning. I tried
many remedies during three or four years
but Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me."

out faith in any treatment, a liberal sample
