expended to start n good sized kingdom. |

msmbrance is that 1t brought over $40, OO0. 900

Not long after the prince lost $1,000, 900 OF
the SO, 00J, 900 in a gambling bout at Mad
rid, the winner being the son OF a Prussian
cabinet minister Of high rank, and the affair
involved considerable scandal at the time.
It was the highest play known in Europe
In recent years. perhaps the highest ever
known, casting into the shade the exploits of
Sarcia, the celebrated Spanish gambler,
who, after winning and losing a dozen
princely fortunes died a few years ago in
Paris OF restitution and hunger. The foun-
dalton Of the Demidof fortune was laid by
old Anatole, grandfather of the recently de-
ceased prince, who owned iron mines and
works in Russia and die the richest man in
the empire and one OF the richest in the
world.

A prominent New England educator, Hon.
A P. Stone, OF Springfield, Mass, severely
criticises some of the present conditions Of
tho public educational system. He says
the greatest need OF a large number Of teach
ers is a knowledge of their business; that in
very many cases pupils are taught to men,
orize instead of being led to a working un.
derstanding Of fundamental prihciples
@There is no Disgusting the fact" he re-
marks, "that all along the educational
horizon there Is going on a contest between
