Again, there are many habits to which no one t"» thought. and 1t comes as u dis- egl'ccab!e surprise to be told that ttiey are not sanitary. Take the matter of underclothing. for exempt°.

There has been a reform in this re- seed. and there al. i.! v, we hope, who relnin les man giene custom. Those who must have protection of this suet have a special set of underclothing for night wear. But tee are still far !rum perfect in the hygienic of clothing. Many persons wear a set of under- clothes each day for a week, a few have o complete change every day, and more change twice in the week. This last- named habit is, perhaps. in the present state of hygenic intelligence, -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 he rade more cleanly and more hygienic without uddin ' to the laundry b b Pill. The average person wearing two rel, of underclothing a week will make t'ie change in the middle of the week, l:ut it would be far better it the two sets were kept going the entire week on olternato days. With the bhveekly 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 it possible should bo hung up where they can receive the direct rays of the sum for some hours. They should not be kept 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 the system shown by a prone- ness to succumb to colds, which is Eo often apparently inexplicable, but which is really due In a reabsorption of the animal secretions from Lnalred under- clothing, will be averted. AVOIDABLE SOURCES - OF DIPHTHERIA. The English physician, Longstaff, who has compiled some interesting statistics on "Social, Political and Medical" topics, has clothed thein in delightful English; every woman of the land may read and nut only enjoy, but profit thereby. His investigations of the sources of disease have been thorough, and the result should he known all over rho world. it Is the source which we must know be- fore we can effectually stamp out dis- erse. Longslaff helps us in this. for he has not only compiled figures, but mode ((lent a revelation of hidden and unsu- spected sources of infection and con- tagion. That terror to every mother of young children, diphtheria, he asserts origin- ntes in the country. It has long been known that faun animals are subject le throat diseases, and in some coun- tries the peasantry live in close rela- tionship wwitth their live stock. A sen- sitive throat is more susceptible to the Inroads of chance bacteria, and diptr thole bacilli multiply faster than al- most any other yet kncwn parasite. \\ hen an epidemic rouses among farm nrlininis it is found that there is likely to he one of diphtheria or some equally dangerous throat trouble arming the farmers' families.

KING UNDER COST PRICE KRIl7 H PLOPI-li ARE NOT TAXED TO DEFRAY EXPENSES. British Nation Have Best of the Bargain Made by King on this Accession. Neither Ring Edward nor Cha princes or princes -es of his house cost rho Eng- lish taxpayer a single cent, and Pro- fessor Masterman was perfectly justi- fied in declaring the other day at Can- tridge that "John null got his monarchy below cost, and even !nude a profit on it" The fact of the matter 6 that the British Sovereign possesses by right cf iliheritance an immense amount of very 1 valuable property, known,by the name 1 : f "the Crown lands," which belongs to him ex-otliclo as a brecles of life tenant, much in the smote wvny that the terri- lorial magnates in England hold their ancestral estates. That is to say, the ucrowwn lands" cannot be alienated by the Sovereign for any period beyond the length of his reign, just us 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- mediate heirs. Following the example of his mother, the late Queen Victoria, and of his grand -uncle, King William IV., England's present ruler on his ac- cession to the throne made a statutory agrenrent with Purilnmcnt and with the national treasury whereby, in return fo► his surrender to the state of . the major portion of the Crown properly for the duration of his life he re•'eived in an undertaking from the na- tion to furnish him with a civil list 1 nearly SJ,000,000 a year and to provide adequate allowances for lho princes and princesses of THE ROYAL. HOUSE. it was not the Icing and his family who made the best of this bargain, but the Stale. For, owing to the careful management and extraordinary devel- opment of the Crown property, coupled wvillt the amazing growth in the value of building land during the lost fifty yairs. the treasury is managing to net profits of as much as $1,000.000 a year from the proceeds of the Crown pro- perty, after all the expenses of its mnnagement, the civil list of the King and Queen, and the allownnces of the roynl princes and princesses hnve been deducted. in t d Med. In incl the calculal has 1 n been made that instead of Queen Vic- toria and her family having been a source of an expense to the national exchequer, they have tince 1837 bene- fited the State to the extent of at least 835.0011,000 -that i5 to say, they have re- lieved the taxpayer from the amount of fiscal burden. thnnks to the bargain concluded by Queen Victoria nenr three- score and len years ago, and renewed by King Edward nt the time of his ac- cession, in 1901. The agreement will come to an end at his death, as It is impossible for him to bind his succes- sor. But there is every reason to be- lieve that when the Prince of Wales be- comes so eretgm as George V. he will be led by motives of pniiey and expedi- ency to agree to n similar nrrangcmcnt. ile will he perfectly justified, however, irk exacting from the Slate as a quid pro quo for the Crown lands n considerably larger civil list than that now enjoyed by his father For, large as are the rev- enues derived therefrom at the present moment, they are bound within the next few years to receive A PIIENO\IENAL INCREASE by the falling in of the leases of lnrge tracts of land in Lt radon, 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 In their enjoyment if the revenues of the ably administered Crown properly, afford to pay consid• erahly more than they do toward the maintenance of their reigning house without i1 costing the tax -payer a cent. The expression crown lands covers a great variety of property. it comprises, as I just mentioned nbuve, entire shop- ping and residential districts of London, salmon fishings in Scotland, over 100; Hue acnes of the gluiest agricultural land hit England alone. huge forests --among IIem Windsor,dsnr, Great Park n the New Forest-canals alines of every descrip- tion from Idose of gold in Wales In those of lead in the Isle of Man; snit works end an extraordinnry number di' feudal dues and rents. the very names of which are beyond the comprehension of even the Englishman of average eda- cation. 'Then (here nre quarries and royalties and forfeitures, trensure troves and a quantity of other sources of rev- enue. though the "dendand" was the forfeiture to the Crown of any chattel which had been the cause of the death, occidental. or ntherwvise, of n humnn be. Ing; and iv way of illustration 1 may mention thnt if n carriage ran over o child and killed it, the crrringo became ESCHEATED TO THE CROWN. All these revenues derived from the crown lands are paid, along with the other revenues of the Stale, into what is known ns the Consolidated Fund. The first charge upon the latter is the interest of the national debt, the second charge is the civil list of Itle Sovereign and it is only after these hyo oblign- lions have been met in their enlirily that the balance becomes nwailable for the expenses in connection with the maintenance of the Government. This shows better thnn anything else that the reigning house of England is in the eyes .1 the low not a stipendiary of the Slate. bol a pet (erred creditor of the national treasury.

PERSONAL Pali kGAAPIIS. Dotes of Interest About Some of the World's Prominent People. Mme. Patti possesses an old doll called "lienrielle," which was given to her when she was seven years old for sing- ing nicely. M. Roussliere. the now famous opera- tic tenor, was once a poor French black- smith. In New York he 6 said to have received the princely salary of 8100 a night. First i.ieutenant von Franck, the oldest officer in the German army, has cele- brated his 100th birthday at Cltarlotlen- !Meg. Ile is in full possession of his faculties. Sir Edward Clarke has a great know- ledge o1 medicine, as well as of lawn, and is regarded as a special authority on poisons. His favorite hobbits are boating and piano•pirying. The Pope 6 one of the most frugal of men. Ito receives annually a sura equivalent to $(00.000 for the upkeep of his establishment and his own personal expenses. but so few are his wants that he does not spend more than 81,000 a year on hhnself. Sir Redvcrs 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 be aW 'i- vate in the regiment than be Prince Minister. Sir liedvcrs Is fond of reed- ing historical novels. Ilabibulla Ishan, the Ameer 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 mam.fuctured in Europe for the Afghan Court, including electric lights, pianos, and the phonograph. The Ameers gardens aro 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 nt last conquered Ruwenzori, the highest peak of the Mountains of the Moon, "never before touched by human foot," Inas 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 1899 he node his famous voyage in the Stella Volare, when he got eighteen nautical miles nearere the North ('ole than Nansen had done. Lord Curzon was a perfect enigma to his masters when ho was at Eton. He was always apparently wasting his time, and seemed to pay no attention whatever to lessons; and yet whenever ever• he was called upon suddenly for an answer he was as ready as any boy who ) s l c had been listening to the n n rs re - merits, end could frequently give en ex.- planation x•planation of a difficult matter when no one else could. A muster said recently that Curzon gave hila more trouble than any other boy, owing to his fond- ness for playing pranks in clnss, yet it seemed impossible to score him off. Gio•nnni Seganlint, the artist, who recently died. was known as "the painter of the Alps" on account of ills fondness for depicting mountain scenery. Ile was born at Arco, in the Tyrol, on a slope of the Alps overlook- ing Italy. His pnrents were very poor, and at his mother's death, when he was only five years old. his father sent Min to lice with relatives at Milan. He stayed there for two years nn(1 then ran away, intending to tramp from Italy to Paris. One evening some faun people food 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 Seganlini, end he amused him- self by drawing portraits of Itis charges on stones and pieces of slate. Later on Inc went back to Milan, and there, studied art. Sir Thome henry Sanderson. who retired n few months ego, after having been for over eleven years British Per- manent Under-Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affair..+, nl s deceived that the csenlin1 qua11Ilen(1 for a young man entering upon n diplomatic career were "Use anility to remember all he hears and the sense to keep it to himself." A standing joke among those intimate with the Under•Sccreary was that ho never answered the simplest reined: without carefully turning it over in his mind and examining it in all its hearings. On one occasion he rnet n well-known poli- tician in the corridor of the foreign Office, who called out genially, "A very fine day. Sir Thomas." "Is that so?" responded Sir Thomas, deeply medita- ting; "i will hnwo Inquiries mode and lel you know atlnut it 1" The King years ago dubbed Sir Thomas Sanderson "the Keeper of the Nation's Secrets." Mr. R. D. Rockefeller, the "Oil King," is not very exlravngant us regards "tips," though he cheerfully pays for extra attention when he thinks the ser- vice is worth It. Some time ago do suffered very much from theurnntie gout, and every evening a nnsseur visi- ted him for professional purposes. The first night Ito called the nil magnate gave hint on additional dollar, saying that the extra was owing to the incle- ment state of the weather. "And," he ridded.

More often than not his opinion ran counter le that of the masseur, who had to cheerfully accept his legitimate fee and depart. DESERVED TO SUCCEED. A late nratriinmial engagement ie said to be the outcome of a daring little piece of repartee on the part of a young woman who has enjoyed the reputation of being not only u wit, but a beauty and belle as well. Although quite young, she was known to have declined the honor of matrimonial alliance with several so-called "catches," and it be- gan at last to be rumored that her mind and heart were set 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 par'ner in an as- sembly, and during the intermission fur supper was seated with her in a sequestered nook, "for from the mad- ding crowd." Apropos of something; that had been said, he asked her laugh- ingly if ti►e report was True that she had refused all the 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" some time. Rumor also Inas it that the above conversation was overheard by one of the discarded suitors, +who terns with "gave it away." SAVED BABY'S LIFE.

According to tests recently made in France dead leaves possess a higher value as fertilizers for the land than ordinary manure. They are extensively used by the market gardeners about the city of Nantes. Pear leaves rank the highest in nitrogenous natter, oak leaves como next, and the leaves of vines stand lowest In value. Experi- ments have shown that 411b. of pear leave", 801b. of poplar leaves, Sllb. of peach leaves, 8?I5. of e'en leaves, and S8!b. of locust leaves nre respectively equivalent in nitrogenous matter to 100:b. of ordinary manure. Vine leaves alone aro less valuable than manure. Men make money that their wives relay leave it at ionic when they go shopping.
