Sadie Davis Pautuckct. Il. l., thinks that Monaco
should be termed the smallest Government in the
world. Monaco is little Italian princpality, which
is owned and controlled 10y one family. and which
by conquest and sale is growing less each year.
The city and surrounding country has scarcely
than $50 population. The city is health resort,
and lemons and oranges grown in the suburbs.
