But . ; eventifally he appealed for an increase in salary in order to maintain a lafger re- tinue, with the result that he was grant- ed an additional 5 francs. After all, $ a week is not an exorbitant allowance for the man who was once the most power- ful monarch in West Africa.

The unfortunate Emperor Kwang Su of China is supposed to be able to live with- ey; at all events his Government does 1iot provide him with a penny. There is absolutely no grant to the reigning monarch of China, but the Emperor has the privilege of being able to order any goods he may require and will not be asked to pay for them. The same rule applies to the Dowager Empress, but she receives pocket money in the shape of $1,250,000 per annum for “giving advice” to the Emperor on political matters, in collecting as many hundreds. | is months and not in- | such times the King has to | | | | I £ OPIKED runs from the front to the back of the head and one crosses it from ear to ear. The plece that helds it firmly to the head fits like a cap and is fastened to the other ones by small rivets. From either side are suspended round pleces with tiny openings that fit over the ears, and from these two flaps are two elastics, one that fits over the chin and another that fits under it. The entire affair is firm and when on SHoES ~AND ANKLE jUPPOET e the head it fits snugly—so closely, in fact, that when it is put on or taken off it tries to take all the hair along. The more vou look at it the more it reminds you of the tapes that buckle on the heads and over the ears of children to keep their ears straight and close to their heads. And they are very much the same. While they do not enhance the beauty of the wearer at any time, still they in all prob- ability sdve him the trouble of looking JHOoWING sbout the fleld for stray ears and help to keep his skull whole. Another useful but terribly homely ar- ticle is the nose guard. Of all the numer- ous football acquisitions this is the most aisfiguring. A large, broad plece of hard rubber that broadens out near the mouth and that is necessarily narrow between the eyes, gives any face an awfully hard expression. The rubber is held with the teeth and there are three little holes that SweaTeR, FOOT-BALL *JERSEY AND STOCKINGS- _JHIN GUARD aND QUILTED CANVA_j PAN'V .o 5 supply the afr. When the game Is a nard one and everybody is doing his level best either one of two things happens—the rub- ber mouthpiece must be got rid of or the player pants for air, and needless to say neither one helps the game out much. So old hands cut a hole in the rubber just above the nostrils and then go on their way rejoicing, knowing that they are not on the ragged edge of suffocation and that their precious nose is in no dan- Kank!

But all this goes tow ing a player attractive, sought a a veritable hero, Cronje and the Graphophone. 8 HE graphophone is beginning to fig- ure as a considerable American ex- port, and certainly it is one of the most curiqus and interesting. While its commercial uses are beyond the com- prehension of the needs off the Persian, the Hindoo, or the South Sea Isldander, each of them is fascinited by an inven- tion which reproduces the familiar soun of the human voice and entertains him with grand and light opera and orchestral musie. Captain J. W. Webster of the transport Milwaukee, who took General Cronje to St. Helena, amused the old hero and his wife with a graphophone. Al- though the instrument {s commen enough in Johannesburg, the general knew of it only by report. “I heard you had a bbx that talked like 2 man,” he said to Cap- tain Webster through an interpreter Webster, telling the story, goes on: * ‘Yes, general,’ I replied, ‘and if you and Mrs. Cronje will come into my statgroom I will give you an exhibition.’ ” They sat down berly in front of the talking box, and I slipped in a cylinder containing' Moody and Sankey's hymn, ‘The nety and Nine,” which I had been told they sang in their own language. The effect was startling. Thay recognized the tune at once, and Mrs. Cronje burst suddenly into tears. Her husband turned away and wiped his eyes, and I could see by the spasmodic clasping and unclasping of his hands that General Cronje himself was deeply affect- ed. To relieve the tension I put on a rec- ord with a lively banjo solo, and in a mo- ment the old gentleman began to smile and beat time with his feet and head, his gray beard wagging to the melody. was funng to see him. When the musi had ceased a bl vant, who had followed the party in, s awesomely that there was a devil in box. Cronje frowned down the sugges. tion, but asked whether it wasn't done by some trick, like ventriloquism, making an expressive gesture with his lips. To sat- isty him, I took the machine apart and ex- plained the principle, and he seemed deep- ly interested. I left the instrument at St. Helena."—H. E. Armstrong in Ainslee's.
