Princess Mary has an account of her own with the postal savings bank, but her brothers’ allowances are too small to admit; of savings. They have to turn to their sister when their pocket money runs short, but the careful Princess :11- wayxs wants to know on what they propose to spend the money before whe makes them an advance. Sable-hunting has been prohibited for three years by the Russian Par- liament. . She has now begun to go shop- ping on her own account. Accom- panied by her governess, she uses a private brougham for her little ex- cursions to the smart retail stores in and around Bond Street, Lonâ€" don. On every occasion she asks the price of each article before she buys 11:, a moat unusual custom with royâ€" alties, who are expected to show disregard of pelf. Having consider- ed the quotation .she often turns round to ‘her govrneSS and says: “I don’t think mother would wlsh me to spend so much as that.” In this way she is certainly scoring as a shopper, for the store men are put- ting no fancy figure-s up to her these latter days. Queen Mary’s careful training of her children is just being illustrated by the doings of Princess Mary. The Queen is dead against ext/raver games, so the Princess is being trained in ways of thrift. by her careful mother. She Has Begun to Shop on Her Own Account.

Under this plan you may purchase from us the Bond or Bonds that most strongly appeal to you as an investment suited to your purposes, by mak- ing a small initial pay- ment and paying the remainder in monthly instalments to suit your income. In this manner you become a bondholder at once without having to save the face value of the Bonds you want to purchaseâ€"and you receive the interest on the Bonds while paying for them.

MINISTER OF EDUCATION MOVES. As’lamu as the new wing of the Parlia- rwnt, Buildings is completed there will be Mr. Harris’ example demonstrates that a. successful career is possible in mum- cipal service. And he is not the only Toronto official getting a good selary. The City Treasurer, Mr. R. ’1‘. Coady, who is shortly to sail for England to sell more City of Toronto bonds, gets $8.000 a year. The salary of the Mayor is now $7,500: until last year it was $5,000. The Assessment Commissioner gets $5,500. The Medical Health Ofllcer gets $5.000. The City Soli< citor gets $4.500. So does the City Archi- tect. The City Clerk and the Chief of the Fire Brigade each receive $4,000. Police Magistrate Denison's salary is $5,000 a year. But the highest priced man in the city's employ is the City Counsel, Mr. H. L. Drayton, K.C.. a comparatively young man, who gets $10,000 a year as Citv Coun- sel. and draws another $4,000 as the Pro: vincial Government's representative on the Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission, making $14.000 a year in all. This figure, no doubt, explains, in part. why he de- clined the Chairmanship of the Dominion Railway Board, which. according to re- port, was offered to him. Some local interest has been aroused by the announcement that the vacancy in the Dominion House in South Simwe, caused by the elevation of Mr. Kanghto'n Lennox to the bench. has been filled by Mr. W. A. Boys. V It is recalled that he was for many years one of the leading athletes of Canada, being amexpert hockey player and holding- for several seandna the tennig‘championahip of Qntqgiq. Mg. pr5 To-day that boy is known ofiicially as Mr. R. C. Harris. head of the Works De partment of the City of Toronto, and the salary he is to draw is $8,000 a. year. He has never held any position outside of the municipal administration of the city. He has never run for oflice. He has just attended to the business that lay at his hand in his civic service job. and he has not on. Each year has seen a new admin‘ istration installed. but the good-natured fat boy. and the man he developed into, quarrelled with none of them. At the same time he had initiative to formulate plans and the force to carry them into eflect. He was some years getting to be a- chief clerk. but from that point his progress has been rapid. The control of one department after another has been put under his control until now he has the management of the chief spending of- flces of Toronto, which spends more money in a year than does the Government of Ontario. The boy's mother was a widow. and had been caretaker of the old city hall for many years. She was very proud of her son. and when it came time for him 10 hen-in to do something for himself she had no trouble in getting him a. position in one of the offices at the Hall, which she looked after. It is only a. few short years since 1hez'e appeared in the Toronto City Solicitor's ot- fice at the City Hall a. new oflice boy. He yvaa so round and well fed that he was Immediately nicknamed the ‘fat boy from Pickwick." When it was found that his first name was Roland it was immedl< ately out down to “Rely.” and Rely it re- lmlinafio fihis tiny. 0? course; he .has. and the means more- ogey are_m7h13 own hands. Those who have read this column during the past year will remember the oft-re- peated admonition against keeping all one's eyes in the same basket. lest the basket be overturned and all the eggs broken. The wise farmer avoids such a loss by putting his eggs in different crates, each er: in at compartment by it< self, so that one might- be broken. but the rest escape. Now, that is exactly, what the wise investor does. He buys a. small amount of Montreal bonds to yield him 41-8 per cent. To offset the chance (very remote to be sure) of an invasion of a. hostile fleet up the St. Lawrence River. he bnvs some City of Toronto debentures, yielding 41-4 per cent. But as Toronto TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE New ‘Head of the Works Departmentâ€"City Pays Big Salariesâ€"Simcoe’s New Memberâ€" An Interesting Move. Is an 'ihvéétJfo‘xâ€"evâ€"é} Fate? you say. Has he no means of avoiding such a catas- trgphe? I think it is safe to say that for the man who may want to realize on his in- vestments in a hurry there is no abso- lutely safe investment. Suppoae. at the present time, he bought British Consolaâ€" a gilt edged investment if there ever was one. Their price is the lowest it has ever been. The yield. however, is only 3.33 per cent.â€"by no means excessiveâ€"for they been only 21-2 per cent. on their par value. Formerly. when they have carried a higher rate they have sold at a price approximafiely as low, taking yield into consideration. But suppose a man bought these securities and Great Britain wr-s in- volved in a war with._Germany. Why. there would be a sharp drop at once, and if he wanted to, or had to. sell the in- vejtor would experienpe a_severe lass. 0r suppose he bought City of Montreal Bonds.

Canada‘s own holiday, year after year. passes in Toronto without the slightest celebration of the day as a. real national holiday. As many people as can get out of town. and when the day falls on a Monday. as this year. the number is un- usually large. Those who remain amuse themselves as best they can. It. is safe to sav that every canoe, rowboat, bow- ling green, tennis court, or pienicking site within reach of the city is fully 00- cupied all day. For the Owners of the amusement franchises the day is one of the biggest harvests of the year. A fine day will take from 15,000 to 18,000 people to the afternoon ball game alone. Even lacrosse, which is making desperate ef- forts to get off the down grade to popular favor, may get as high as 10,000 specta- tors. But as for a real national celebration there is nothing. No one wants the spread-eagleism of the American Fourth, but many people regret That some effort should not be made to make the day in Canada-’3 second city in a way that. would be distinctively Canadian.

To dnyone who cares to take the trou- ble, may. with the advice of his invest- ment banker, arrange a distribution of his investments so as always to keep him from apprehension of any unexpected loss of a. large part. of his savings. But, vnu may, I have only a few thou- sand dolln‘s. and I cannot spread that very much. In these days of hundred dollar bonds no one need make that ex- cuse.

And almost all industrial companies of any account issue debentures of $100 now-a-days, although unfortunately few public service compan- ies have done so as yet. But they all are co_ming to it.

England, is now threatened by. he buys the bonds of Victoria, B.C., and so he spreads his risk. He buys Winnipeg bonds. which is the centre of the grain trade. and those of Yorkton. the centre of a farming dis- trict. Then he shifts back to Ontario cities and towns. and so he spreads his risk over a multitude of difl’erent and di- vergent interests. Perhaps, to offset his bonds he buys a. few mortgages. and to increase his income he takes on some in- dustrial bonds. But the wise investor is careful to distribute his investments not only over a. number of diflerent securi- ties. but geographically over a Wlde stretch of territory, avoiding too heavy bonds of one class. Then, no matter what happens, he cannot lose everything. A few years ago the town of Campbell- ton, N. B.. was completely wiped out by fire. An investor whose whole fortune was tied up in the debentures of that town might have been. ruined had not the Pro- vincial Government of New Brunswick come to its aid and guaranteed the in- vestors against loss. But if he had had only a truth. or a twentieth. of his hold- ings in the debentures of that place he wouldn't have needed to be very uneasy. Although unpleasant, the loss would not havebeen crippling. DOMINION DAY The artists are paid according to the class of their work, the gold painter and final critis receiving mos-t. Next ranks the designer, and lowest of all are the colorists, Whose work is purely mechanical, When one reflects that every one of these touches must be repeated with the minutest accuracy from seven to nine times on the best china, some idea-may be had of the amount of skill and attention reâ€" quired to produce good Kioto ware. Then, after all, the whole of this la- bor may be wasted upon a faulty article which shows its flaws only on being submitted to the fiery ordeal of the last baking. China, painting in Japan is con- ducted on the coâ€"operative system. Each artist confines himself to one particular part of the work. One specialist sketches the figures, an- other the landscape, and a. third the scrolls and arabesques. The cup, vase, dish, or whatever it may be, is then handed over to the oolorists, who also subdivide their labor, one of them doing the scarlet, another the blue, and so on, until the mas- terworker crowns their efforts by adding the gilding’ either in broad lines and, masses or in multitudes of tiny dots. Great Skill and Minute Accuracy are Required. In painting, as in writing, the Japanese artists hold the brush, which they use for both purposes, perpendicularly over the surface to be inscribed or ornamented, the first and fourth fingers over the two middle ones.
