Queen Wilbelmina, of Holland, Would Meet Great Success As An Actréss--King Edward VII a Shrewd Farmer, I all the crowned heads of Europe should be dethroned most of them, if not all of them, could meke a living ip some other pursuit. : The Emperor of = Germanv. who is the proprietor of a most important porcelain factory at Cadiener, from which, it is said, he derives a yearly profit of $50,000. 3 a King Edward VI of England is a shrewd farmer, and if he had not been born to the royal purple could have made a living as a famous stock breeder. He has the reputation of boing the best judge of pigs and one of the best judges of poultry in all England, His profits from his pro- duce is reckoned at $200,000 a year. The reigning prince of Lippe-Det- mold 'eals in butter and egirs, while a prosperous brick factory increases his yearly profits. The King of Wartemberg is the pro- prietor of two hotels in his kinodom, which net him nearly $50,000 a year, while King Peter of Servia runs a barber shop, owns a patent medicine factory, and vonduets a motor car age in his capital. St is said that King Victor Em- manuel H. of Italy is so passionately fond of the automobile that were it necessary he could readily earn his living as a chauffeur, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria owns a chinaware factory, in Vienna, which is one of the most famous in the world, and employs 1,000 skilled workmen; and the King of Saxony conducts a similar business, though, of course, on a wuch smaller scale. King Leopold of Belgium, whatever may be said of him because of the Congo rubber trade notoriety, was astute enough financier to see money in the proposition before anyone else had sense enough to invest in the Congo lands. It has been stated that Leopold sunk $25,000,000 of his pri- vate fortune in the Congo, but his profits therefrom after the first year amounted to almost a million dollars per annum. Queen Amelie, widow of rhe recently assassinated King Carlos, is the only royal M.D. in the world, and stories are told of her practising the profes- sion of medicine among the Poorer classes of Lisbon, "incognito" and "gratis." She is only known amang her patients as "the good lady doc- tor." She is also an expert at the millinery trade, and in the royal re- sidence there is a room in the secla- sion of the queen's quarters where hats, bonnets and toques are fashion- ed and modelled after her own exclu- sive designs. King Carlos himself was much interested 'in music, interested in both grand and comic opera, and somewhat (of a musical composer, Queen Carmen Sylva is the only working journalist among the erown- ed heads of Europe, but she hag re- cently gone into business, as she has ope) a book store in Bucharest and also one in Paris, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, eould make her living as an actress, for her chief hobby has always been the stage and acting. A few years ago Queen Wilhelmina had a small theatre built for her own use at her residence Het Loo, where plays often are. per- formed under her direction, with her- self and friends in the leading roles, Another royal amateur actress comes from Russia, Grand Duchess Serge, formerly Princess Elizabeth of Hesse, the elder sister of the ezaring. She is a beautiful woman, with delicately cut features, a graceful carriage, and go commanding presence that with the power of mimicry far above the aver. age, would bring her in a fortune on any stage. Foreign actors, singers and artists of both sexes are welcome guests of the grand duchess. This fondness of the duchess for act- ing and the stage produced a great scandal a few winters ago. A famous star actress with whom the duchess had been on exceedingly friendly terms, was taken suddenly ill one night before the beginning of a per formance in which she was to appear at the Moscow theatre. It being found impossible for the actress to go on the stage for that evening, the management was in des- pair, but when the Grand Duchess Serge arrived to ses her friend form and was informed of the catas- trophe she quietly told the manage. ment she would herseli act that night il a different play were substituted and her presence and indentity kept a sec- ret. This the management pledged. Another play was put on, the duchess taking the part of the herolne, and the ardent love-making that took place between herseli and the hero, a particplarly handsome actor, roused the audience to a great pitch of en- thusiasm. But there were Ivux eves watching hee; and some. police or military of-, ficial, recognizing in this leading lady of an evening the beautiful wife of their governor-geneval, (irand Duke Sergius Alexandroviteh, hastened tell him about it. § Hie box. and | a few > the = , where, seeing him sudden- ly ----g-- the grand. duchess fainted, the curtain was rung down, and his royal highness read the riot act both to his spouse and the manager who 'had allowed her to appear in most ¢ terms.

In the spring to be healthy and strong you must have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap. Nature demands it and nature's laws are inexorable. With- out new blood vou will feel weak and languid. You may have twinges of rheumatism, or the sharp, stabbing pains of neuralgia, there may be dis- figuring pimples or eruptions of the skin, a tired feeling in the morning, and a variable appetite. These are some of the signs that the blood is out of order, that the lone trying months of indoor winter life have told upon you. A purgative medicine, such as too many people take in spring, can't help you. Purgatives merely gallop through the system, and fur ther weaken you. Any doctor will tell yon that this is true, What peo- ple need in the spring is a tonic me- dicine, and in all the world there is no tonic can cqual Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Every dose of this medicine helpe to make new, rich, red blood-- your greatest need in spring.

The hone carvings of the eave dwellers show that our naked forebears used their right hands in throwing their wea- pons. MH a child appeared among the paleolithics who grasped his celt or tore his food with bis left hand he had, in all likelihood, been immed. iately slain and eaten. There is rva- son to believe that the preadamites were unacquainted with the philoso. phy of tolerance. So late as within the last twenty years parents and school teachers have exerted their influence and lav. ished their r in attempts to warp the lelt-handed children into awkward right-handed. It bas bred despair in the child in whom habit was fixed, a condition of sullenve ys in many who felt the scorn of their fel- lows, and, in some cases, deceit, since with a little ingenuity and the con- venient back of another, a pupil may appear to be enjoying his right hand when in fact he is using his left.

An Easy Plan to Collect Old Clothes. Here is the story of a graft simple and effective that some enter- prising stranger to work should pa- tent it. It was practised by a New York genius and had its tryout on the respectable upper West Side of that city. The 'originator set out dressed a workman, his clothes rusty but neatly tched. Arriving in the neighbprhood he had decided to work he stepped into an areaway and, haul- ing out a knife, slit the right leg of his trousers from hip to knee. Next he produced 'a hewspaper, spread -it out and held it over the slit in his trousers. Leaving the areaway, he hurried along the side- walk, making apparently a great of- fort to hold the newspaper in place. The wind was blowing and whoever cared so look noticed the man's pre- dicament. At the steps of a big house in Seventy-second street he stopped and pretended to tie the paper about his leg. By a perhaps not very strange chance, since the hour was 5:15 pam., the owner of the house ap- peared. The gralter greeted the man briefly, lifted the newspaper and remarked : "l just had an accident over on Columbus avenue. Truck shoved' me against _ a stake and tore me pants awful. Wonder if you could lend me some safely pins ?" It was successinl. From thet house the man carried awav not only a reaclily saleable pair of trousers, hut a hat and coat as well. A quick trip to a corner saloon to deposit hig bundle and the tale of the torn trom sor log was carried to another house in the block.
