He gives away a great deal- more money privately than anyone imagines, and is often more than generous. He pays for all his boxes at, the theatre, and for all his own telegrams, letters, and parcels. His military wardrobe is valued at $75,000. and the saloon carriage in which he travels on the Continent cost him $35,000. King Edward has given in public charities $1,550,000.

He possessed untiring energy, immense selfâ€"reliâ€" ance. anti stupendous powers of per- severance. In addition to these qualities he had a constitution like iron. At the age of sixteen he went to Canada, in the days when it took more than a month to cross the At- lantic, and entered the service of the Hudson Bay Company. Later on, Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian au- thor, loves to keep his hair in dis- order. This is said to be his one vanity. He always carries a little toilet case, Containing 3. lookingâ€" toilet case, Containing 3. lookingâ€" glass and a. comb, which are at- tached to the lining of his grey hat. He will often remove his hat, to look into the mirror to see how his hair is lying. If it is not rough enough to suit his fancy, he uses the comb to give it the requisite tangle.

Take a piece of woollen cloth, or a piece of a blanket, and boil it thor- oughly in a strong solution of caustic soda, and you will find the wool will gradually be eaten away, leaving nothing but the skeleton. Women do not realize how "soap substitutes," which are generally surcharged with coda. or how common alkaline soaps destroy their clothing; consequently they. week by week, subject costly fabric to such treatment. The hands also are immersed for hours in such solutions, resulting in eczema, coarse skin, and brittle nails. The caustic soda may loosen the dirt. but it eats away the fabric and ruins the hands. There is no economy in such work. It is so easy for a woman to test the difference between an alkali charged soap and 9. neutral washing soap, that it is strange that there is room for any but a pure soap on the Canadian market.

A mine had been abandoned more than 2,000 years, and the seeds of some poppies were found beneath the slag of a species which had disap- peared for, twenty centuries. The slag being removed, in a. short time the entire space was covered with the most gorgeous show of poppies.

In Stockholm almost, every house- holder is “on the telephone," and Practically every kind of business is discussed by means of the instru- ment. This fact, has been turned to account, by the police authorities in a curious way. The creditors of a business man Who had serious doubts of his integrity employed a detective to obtain information about him. The detective “tapped” the telephone wire from a house at which the susâ€" pect. was staying, and overheard many private conversations. The action of the detective. however. has aroused considerable indignation among the community.
