TffiE eZ?R'S PRfifATE UFE.
He Has Thirty Thousand Servants,
and Earns a Salary of $4,
800,000 a Year.
Tn? Czar earns a bigger salary than
?ny other man in the world, for the
public exchequer of his country pays
Mm tbe sum of $4,808^000 per annum
JOT acting as managing director of
the Bussian Empire, with its area of
eight million square' miles and its pop?
ulation of one hundred and thirty mil
l?os persons. But, considering the
crushing weight of care and responsi?
bility which he bears on his shoulders,,
his remuneration, high as it iv ?oes
not appear excessive. His salary is
poid him in monthly installments of
for.r hundred thousand dollars each,
which are sent to him by a special
messenger from the treasury buildings
ia the form of a check on the National
Baak of Russia, just as an office clerk
receives his monthly wages ; with the
difference, however, that -the Czar's
talent and industry exercise no'infla
ecce . cn his payment. At the same
time, he is expected to maintain a cer
/Sain standard of living which he would
he unable to do in the style required
of him if he did not possess a private
income three or four times as big as
his official salary. He is the owner
trf over one hundred -estates, all of
whch supply him with- private reve?
nues, but he is also the possessor of
eue hundred palaces and castles,
which have to be maintained in im?
perial style at a great expense to their
ewner. He has more servants than
? any one else in the world, fora veri?
table army of over thirty thousand
domestics, cooks, pages, butlers,
grooms, gardeners, and so forth is
employed on his hundred or more es?
tates. He possesses over forty resi?
dences which he has never seen, a
score of homes which he has viewed
externally, hut never inhabited, even
for one night, and. another score in
ieacir' of which he has slept on only
?se occasion. Bis private stao?es
contain over ave thousand ncrses be?
longing to him and the herds of cattle
feeding on his.o wu lands are estimated
to number over fifty thousand head.
His wealth is enormous, yet there is
dnubt that he extracts very little
asare on* of his life of perps-ual
ix?l and worry.
' He habitually rises at six, and eats
a characteristically English breakfast
of ham and eggs, bread and. butter
with -jaarmalade specially and private- ?
iy prepared for him, and tea. This
predilection for English manners and
customs is common to both the Czar
and the Czarina, for both like English
. fare best, prefer nsing English to
. their respective mother tongues, and
are agreed upon^he-necessity .of eda*
. eating their children according to
JSng?sh methods. Immediately after
breakfast the Czar begins to smoke
some of the heaviest brands bf Havana
cigar?, vthich he continues" tc peff al?
most continuously till bedtime, not?
withstanding thc fact that bis doctors
iave warned him again and again
i?at excessive indulgence- in this habit
ia" exposing -him to the worst .dangers
of nicotine poisoning. By seven
o'clock in the inorningv he is at his
Jctesk, perusing an enormous heap cf
"state documents sent to the palace for
, his inspection. The variety of sub?
jects with which he is called upon to
deal is astonishing, for he is nos mere
ly the emperor, but also the father of
his people. No crder cf instruction.!
or communication cf any kind can be
?dispatched from any ministry or state
office in St. Petersburg to local or
subordinate authorities unjess it bears
the signature of the Czar, indicating
his assent and approval Every com?
munication sent from the ministry of
war to the representative officers ?cm*
m&nding several hundred garrisons
tfcroagbout the Russian Empire, every
y dispatch sent to the captains of Sas?
sau warships all over the wpxld and
-every circular issued by the ministry m
of the interior to the police and to all j
-rariesies of local authorities have to
hear the Czar's own signature.-George

ing party spied him they raised the
cry "There he is!" and started after
him.
The negro didn't dare ran, fer the
whole pack woe ld have purse ed him.
Ail he could do was to explain, in
fear and trembling, each time tbe
mistake was made that he wasn't the
culprit. Fortunately for bim, tfcere
was a policeman in the crowd who
knew him and corroborated his state?
smen ts.
. Before the search ended the ne^ro
had attached himself permanently to
the la;l of the cop's blouse, and no
amount of threats would make him
let go.
"No, sub," he expostalated. "Ah

catarrh very badly. I was unable to attend to
my business, and was under the doctor's care,
but did not seem to gain strength or improve,
and kept getting worse. I heard of Duny's
Pure Malt Whiskey and decided to try it, as
I felt I.could not be in any worse condition, as
the doctor had given me up. I commenced
taking it, morning and evening, andsoon gained
the 25 pounds I had lost. Am now in perfect
health, thanks to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
I think it a wonderful cure. I am now able to
attend to my real estate and insura nee business.' '
