SET EXAMPLE TO SUBJECTS Modern Royal Personages, Unlike Their Predecessors, Live Lives of Blamelessness. There are no more courts of any consequence like those “where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep." Mighty ; princes of India upon whom the ■ gorgeous east still showers barbaric | pearl and gold with a lavish hand, promote education, endow hospitals, practice abstemiousness, dispense with concubines, hire publicity agents to tell how well their lives and kingdoms are ordered. Because the khedive of Egypt has*two -wives-—when the most orthodox Moslem may have a harem as costly as his purse can by. and neat and gaudy in accordance with bis taste —there is a scandal upon the banks of the Nile. The German imperial palace is pro-' lific of sons and daughters and not of ] gossip. The czar of all the Russias— | the Russias once ruled by Catherine; 11., at once a harlot and a patron of I letters, art, commerce and education—is a model family inan. The royal houses of Italy, 'Spain and Great i Britain are pointed to as examples for the bourgeois. There is no rottenness whatever in Denmark. The alleged > “gallanteries" of old Leopold of Belgium constituted the theme of abund ant newspaper fiction, and he was greatly interested a few years before his death In meeting for the first time an actress whom the space writers bestowed upon him as a mistress years before. That so much was made of the pecadilloes, real and imagined, of Ed ward of England when he was prince' illustrated the difference between the habits of am tent and modern princes. Nowadays only those w ho have little I or nothing at stake care to risk attract-1 ing attention to their defiance of public opinion. No throne would accommodate a Catherine or a Cleopatra.— Louisville Courier-Journal. CHEAP LIVING AT ANTIOCH Ridiculously Small Sum Will Provide Family With Every Comfort and Even With LuxuriesThe inflated price of bis majesty the I turkey has no terror for the inhabitants of Antioch in Syria. To be sure, they have no Thanksgiving feast to worry about, but on the other hand I life can be one long fowl feast for ♦hem the year round if they so desire You can buy pullets and chickens for five cents apiece. Eggs are four cents a dozen, while mutton and lamb sell for three cents a pound. These facts about the low cost of living were learned from a young Eng lishman who had been ordered by his I physician to spend the winter away from the cold and fog of his native | London. He decided to try Ant lockThis Englishman lived in the lap of j luxury in Antioch for five dollars a week. He rented a fine house for five dollars a month and he kept three servants who were satisfied to work for 50 cents a week. Throughout the winter months fresh fruit and vegetables are so cheap that they are not sold in fixed quantities. You merely pay a quarter a week and this gets you all the fruit ord vegetables for your household needs. This Englishman’s nearest neigh bora were an American family who had been living In Antioch for several years. They had all the comforts of life and their expenses were less than S2OO a year. Was the Original Spug. The original spug. who passed away tn 1687, long before the society was ev.-r thought about, was one Sir WilHam Petty, bom in 1623. in the town of Rumsey, Hampshire. England. That he is worthy of canonization as the patron saint of the order finds proof in his last will and testament, wherein Ke says, foreseeing the many evils that may arise from injudicious gifts: “As for beggars by trade and election, I give them nothing. As for impotents by the hand of God, the public onght to maintain them. As for these who compassionate the sufferings of any object, let them relieve themselves by relieving such sufferers. . . . “I am contented that I have assisted all my poor relations and put many In the way of getting their own bread und have soivght »■»♦♦ r*a! objects cf charity, and I do hereby conjure all who partake of my estate from tlnre to time to do the same at their peril.’ His Estate Was Amerigo Vespucci's Amedeo Basel. the Chicago grand opera tenor, has an estate near Florence, Italy, which once belonged tn Amerigo Vespucci. The villa. known is “la Sfacciata." Is mentioned In the history of Florence as far back as HM When the villa came into the possession of the artist hH wife or dared extensive repairs and alters tions The grand salon I* remarkable for Its mural decorations and its magnificent collections or medieval] arms from Flanders. France and Italy. Signor Basal goes In for farm Ing in an amateur way, and has planted his estate with olive and fig trees and a large number of American fruit trees. Recanted Any Equine Levity. According to the Ashland Clipper a ♦armer who waa driving along a country road encountered one of hl* neigh nor* seated In a buggy with a stone tn either hand. Occasionally the horse would twi bls head and took at Mtn, i w hich aeemrd to be the signal for the ' stalled rurallte to heave another stone. , 'What, la the matter?" Inquired the I new arrival. "1 don't mind a horse balking, so much." was the reply, "but I’ll be durned If be is going to turn around and laugh at me”—Kansas City Stat . ..
