It was in 1694 that William III. granted to Henry de Nassau, Lord d’Auvrequerque, his heirs, and assign- ees for ever, the sum of $10,000 a year, in consideration of “his many and faithful services”â€"â€"wliich, in fact, were those of a purely nominal poli- tical nature. Lord Cowper, to whom the four-fifths of this yearly sum was paid, commuted a portion of it in 18;;3 for $200,000 down, but his heirs Still receive $1,875 annually. .---..;.-.-. .

A reporter asked a well known sur- geon whether his experience as a med- ical man had led him to believe that death is painless. “Speaking generally,” be said, “the death agony is very rarely attended by pain, because the system is always prepared for death by a weakening of . the vital forces. by the circulation of ‘t, impure blood through the brain and by the obtunding of the nerves. Of course i some people have more pain than .tllll others. and this is very largely deter- lt'UllYlll 3,,” 2H 7,, mined by temperament.

The Duke of Norfolk obtains $300 a rear from the Exchequer for what are known as “ancient fees," and the Duke of Rutland $160 under a like heading. These sums are nominal, it is true. yet the recipients do nothing whatever to earn them. in the anticipation of it than in the reality.
