INCOMES OF THE WORLD'S RULERS. SEVENTY-POUR men and two women divide among themselves tho governments of the world. In other words, there are seventy-six rulers. Of these twenty-two govern us Presidents, fifteen as Kings, eleven as Dukes and Grand Dukes, six as ICmperorp, five Princes arid five as Sultans. There are two Kharls.

Queen Victoria and Queen Wilhelmina'; one Khedive, of Egypt; one fihad, of Persia; one Bey, of Tunis; one Mikado, of Japan; one Maharaja, of Nepaul, and one l.ajah, of Sarawak. Of these august potentates Queen Victoria and her grandson, William II of Germany, are the only ones who" sport two the one Queen and Empress, the other Emperor and King. When it comes to civil lists, the Emperor of Russia, who Is eaid to be the richest man in the world, can show the largest bank account, $12,000,000 being his yearly income. Thi3 is no more, however, than some good citizens of our republic have as their income.

Early in the morning lite Holiness was informed that Andreas, the peasant who recently played the part of Christ in tho "Passion Plav at ObCrammergau. desired an audience with him, and. his consent being readily given, the two notable men met that sanit! evening. Andreas, according to Italian journals, wore his stage costume, and seemed to many who saw him the living embodiment of Jesus.

The Poue was attired, in his customary vestments, and near him stoo.l some Cardinals anu other princes of the church. lie greeted, the visitor with his wonted kindness, and asked him some questions about his life and about the role which he played with such success at Oberammergau. The contrast between the two representatives of the one a sturdy, son of the people and the other- a kindly, gentle old so marked that every one present was struck by and the. unanimous opinion was of the many memorable v.lUch have taken place in the Vatican Uxbt wu by uu means tho least. THE SMALLEST OF WILD CATTLE.

CELEBES has tho distinction of being the home of the smallest living representative of the wild cattle, or, indeed, of wild cattle of any period cf the earth's history, for no equally diminutive fossil member of the group appears to be known to science. An idea of the extremely, diminutive proportions of the anca, or sapi-utan. as the animal In question is. respectively called by the inhabitants of Celebes and Uhe Malays, may be gained when it is stated that height at tho shoulder ic only three feet three inches, whereas that of the" great Indian wild ox, or gaur. is at least six feet four Inches, and may, according to some writers, reach us much as seven feet.

In fact, the anoa is really not much if at all larger than a well grown Southdown sheep, and scarcely' exceeds in this respoct the littlo domesticated Eramini cattle shown a few ears ago at the Indian exhibition ljeld at Earlscourt. The anoa has many or the characteristics of the larse Indian buffalo, but horns are relatively ohorter, less curved and more upright.

and the King of Spain, $1,400,000. The King of Spain, however, has an additional 5G00.000 for his and the King of Italy must deduct from his" millions for his family. The one who obtalps the bulk of his income in the most original manner is the Sultan of Sulu, who" raises it by lines. He has men whose business it is to watch his subjects who are making money, and as soon as a man gets. something ahead he is charged with some crime, and the result is a fine.

If a man has amassed for example, he is accused of Nine crime, and to save himself from prison or drain must ray a flr.e of $1000. The Crown Prince is often pent out to collect the fines. From the rent of lands he receives J5C0O a year and the United States ndda $3000 a year to the royal treasury in silver. The morarch who stands last on the list ns regards his Income I.s Kins Malletoa Ta-nu of Samoa, lie ekes out an existence on the paltry sum of $150 a month, or less than 52000 a year. The salary paid to his predecepsor for upholding the dignity 'of the Samonn ilirone was a month, nnd with this sum he was well satisfied.

When the King, a year go. en mo to draw his first month's salary he struck for and got after going to law about it. The cashier of the treasury, whft'h is now controlled by the Consuls of the United States, Great Britain and Germany, at first refused to pay the amount demanded.

"Sticky" paint. order to prevent paint from detaching Itself in large flakes from iron sur- Ji -faces all that is r.ecessary is first to wash the surface to 'be painted with soap and water, rinsa and let dry. When dry go over it with a stiff brush dipped In hot linseed oil. When this "tacky" the paint can be applied. If the object Is small and of such a nature that heating- will not hurt it raise tho temperature until a of oil brought contact with it smokes.

Go over the surface carefully with the raw oil and let It cool. It is then ready to receive the paint. With larse objects which cannot 09 heated the main point is to apply the oil as hot as possible, the nearer to boiling the better. Objects thus painted will pre. serve the coat of colur for an indeflrii'u period.

Every one is labeled vintage of Which is a gross injustice, for California has more than her share of the descendants of the Mayflower pifgrtms. Some of the red-letter i sges in the national blupbook are inscribed with names of Californians. To head the list we have descendants ct the house of of Betty Washington, siptrr of the great George, who. though he is the father of his country, had no children of his own. Mrs.

M. L. Ftraley and her daughters plainly fhnw a family resemblance to George 'Waehinert'in. A plance at his portrait and thnt of Miss Ethel Stealey will establish the likeness. We have the Alder.s, direct descendants of John and Priscilla Alden.

By the word of all the social arbiters, living or dead, it only tr.kes to make a gentleman. But we have families The colonial dames had their amusements, but they all spent much time practicing on the harpsichord or splnnet and In working impossible dragons and roses on The beaux of that day were selves, girlish laughter and frolic lighten the pages of some. old diary, and we read of merrymaking that beguiled the passing hour as when Marcla Washington were "minded to eat" after they had decorously retired to their rooms for the night. They had already taxed their digestions' with a dish of bacon and beef, followed- by a bowl of eago cream, and were about to taste the delights of a nocturnal "apple pye," when Mr. Corbln in his wife's short gown, and Mrs.

Washington, in her husband's coat, burst in upon the scene and gave the youthful revelers a fine fright, after which they all settled down to. enjoy the "apple pye" together." Most of the Washington heirlooms are -in the East, but tho family anecdotes are kept alive in the Stealey household. Mrs. i Washington an accomplished needleiwoman and in those days it was far more useful than the pen, and almost as powerful as the sword. One day General Washington complained of the gate being en and the industrious mistress of the house promptly replied, "Well, my dear.

If I -could sew it with my needle and thread I would mend It for you." I Occasionally, as if to prove to us that -flpr vjtf enjoyed, them in later life developed Into somewhat of a scold. The Stealey, family are not only descendants of Betty Washington' on one aide of 'the family, but on the other side belong to the Washington tree. Miss Ethel Stealey resembles George Washington rather more strongly than the other members of the family, although her sister, Mrs. Raisch, has the- Washington cast of features. The girls of the long-ago, after all, were not very dS.Terent from their descendants of to-day.

They had their pastimes and pleasures, and enjoyed them The pictures on this page not only show the charming modern descendants of distinguished Americans, but they, serve to Illustrate how fashions have changed since the days when little moccasined Pocahontas saved Captain John Smith's life. There is the severely simple dress of the Puritan maiden; the rich -and elaborate gown of the days of Lady Washington; the still richer and more elaborate gown of the Southern belles de then there is the big-sleeved gown of five years ago. worn by Mrs. Hobart, one of the most beautiful cf San Francisco's younger matrons. with heirlooms that would make a greatgreat-grandraother's bonnet look modern.

Miss Prlscllla Alden, whose home Is In Oakland, is the ninth lineal descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, the' Puritan maiden whom Longfellow Immcrtallsed In verse. The modern Ulsa Priscilla Alden has collected many bits of information about her ancestress which the poet purposely left out of "Miles Standlsh." Family tradition hns It that ly. Even little Pocahontas had a sip of i social delights when John Rolfe took her to London. Miss Margaret Lane is only 15 now, but when she is a young lady en- Joying balls ar.d teas she will probably see nothing more sumptuous than the lav-' ten entertainments that were given for the princess.

The Lanes have a few of the Rolfe helrlooms. Most of them are in the posses-' sion of the Randolph branch of the family. The Lane home on Clay street Is filled with all sorts of Indian curios, and every word ever written about Pocahontas lines their library walls.
