It l may be some comfort to laboring men to know that the salary of the poet laureate of England Is 1340 a year and a hogshead of wine thrown in. Of course, this represents only a fractional part of what Alfred Austin really earns; still it Is all that he gets for being poet laureate to the English speaking race. This salary la without any prospect of a raise, although it was Increased to its pres ent munificent pro;«ortlons when Lord Tennyson died. Some time before his death it was decided to increase his salary to that amount, but the government did not decide until after his death. Thus the present poet laureate came in for the raise intended for Lord Tennyson. Even this small sum Is more than the official salary of the Bishop of Winchester, in his capacity of minis ter to the chapel royal. He receives 335 per annum. It Is an office which requires his presence at tVIndaor sev eral times each year and the total railway fares from tVInchester amount to five times the amount of his salary. The vice consuls of the second class towns In Russia are also badly paid. Their salaries vary from 325 to 3130. but two-thlrds of them get 325. If you desire a better fur than the one that toe« with your suit or coat, you can choose a better one and pay the difference.
