THE STORY OF GERMANY. By Sabine Bar
ing-Gould. II. A, and Arthur Gilman, ".
$3.50.
Among the most entertaining and
instructive of the volumes issued nova
days are those in the Putnam's STORY
Of the Nations Series" They are all
written aud edited by writer's famiiar
with the subject treated. and the stories
are presented in popular, interesting
and instructive style. The present vol
ume traces the history of the German
people from their earliest appearance IN
history, lis b. G down to the CONSOLE
dstion OF the Empire after the close OF
the cO-PruSsiau War. As a matter
OF course it must confine itself to the
more striking events in a long career.
IL begins with the moving to ana fro OF
the Huns, Sclavs, Goths. Saxons and
Franks, and traces the contests of the
various Teutonic families among them
selves, the struggles out of which grew
the old empire. the quarrelS that fol-
lowed t1e great schism in the church,
and the long, intermitted strife that
ended in the birth of the present empire.
Such a story Is interesting 10 all, for the
Teutonic influence on the whole of
modern civilization has been very large
and enduring, but it is especially inter
esting % English readers, since they
are of Teutonic origin, and hence il is
largely familiar history to them. Like
the other numbers of the series. the
story is necessarily largely in outline
only, but it is told in a vigorous, terse
way, calculated to catch and hold the
attention of the youngTeaders for whom
it is primarily designed. and it is an
admirable example Of the condensation
Of a vast mass Of material within very
narrow limits.

Of Alaska, the Governor remarks inasmuch as

That DrOuth in Texas.

A great fuss is made in some of the
New York papers about appalling des.
tituton in Texas, but the reality is n
great deal worse than the published
description of the suffering.
In Western Texas, for instance, the
cattle and sheep are suffering. and I'M
less there is a change nothing much
will be raised, not even an UNI brella.
The farmers say that the roasting ears
would have been roasted on the stalk,
IL they had not been gathered in early
in the season. The egg plants hatch
out in the gardens. Notwithstanding
the dryness, a great many damns have
broken loose from the exasperated far
mers. In some parts of the state the
clouds have let their garnered fulness
down, but in others rains have been
held up. Maybe the clerk of the
weather is out elect oneering, but the
most plausible explanation for the
drouth is that Wall Street brokers are
to break down certain
railroad stocks. TEXAS Siflings.

He was going home to his wife and

had lonely road from tho car and he
was making rs fast Roadway rs he
could, when he suddenly gathered a
dim suspic on that man behind was
following him purposely. The faster
he went, the faster the man went, and
they came TO a graveyard.
Now" he said to h mself, I'm find
out II he's after me" and he started
through the cemetery. The man fol-
lowed him. Vague visions Of revolvers
beh nd him, sensat ons of sand bags
and loaded clubs and things grew upon
him. He lodged around u grave and
his pursuer lodged after him. He
made dctour of mausolcum. Still
the forbdding shadow was after him,
around and around. At last he turned
and faced the fellow.
What in thunder do you want
What are you following me forp"

Locomotives in Jerusalem.

Locomotives now run into Jerusalem.
The roar of the engines through the
street that once echoed the Crusaders
tread is a powerful historical antithe-
sis. Not less striking is the contrast
between the armorer's chamber,
whence stepped forth, armed cap-a-pie,
the knight of the fourteenth century,
and the erecting shops whence issues
the mailed giant of the nineteenth.
Under the medieval breast-plate the
might of muscle; underneath the mod
ern boiler-plate the supremacy Of
mind; and both within span of 500
years, that has at one end the Tower
of London and at the other the Bald
win Locomotive Works. There is a
strange, vivid analogy between these
two, so vastly dissimilar. Each is the
epitome of an age, and each age gro
tesquely at variance in methods and
results, yet controlled by the same hui
man motives of dominance and con-
quest But what the Crusader con-
quered and could not keep the locomo-
tive holds in peaceful possession. Iron

The ROYAL Family.

The royal family Is not Of English
race. They are descended. IL Is true,
through Sophia Eectress Of Hanover.
from Elizbeth, the daughter of James l..
who in turn was the son Of Mary, queen
Of Scots, and the great grand son OF
Margaret, the eldest daughter Of Henry
VII; but from the year 1913, when
Elizabeth was married to Frederic, the
elector Of Palatine. she became, and her
defendants have since remained Ger
man in race. in language, and in all their
ties OF blood. In truth, the last drop
Of English blood in the veins OF the roy
nj family was that which they derived
from Margaret, who married James,
king of Scotland, in 1901, and who was
herself thoroughly English. As u mat
ter OF fact. however, 1t is not by virtue
OF descent at all that the severe gns OF
the house Of Brunswick have held the
crown of England. but by virtue Of n
parliamentary title derived from the
act of settlement, and tho first sovereign
Of that house, George l., neither knew
nor never could learn how to speak the
English language. The royal family,
therefore. have no more of English race
in them than this, that they are descend
ed from an English princess who lived
four hundred years ago through
Scotch princess who lived three hun
dred years ago. For three hundred
years all the living blood relations have
been Foreigners; and since they came
over TO England to assume tho throne.
every one Of their alliances with the
exception of that issueless one with
Lord Lorne) has been made with for
eigner, and usaully with a German.
Two of the Qneen's sons and four OF her
daughters have been married to Ger
mans, while one is married to Dane
one to Russian, the sister Of that EN-
peror of Russia on whose action in the
east the British people look with SO
much suspicion. The royal family
are, therefore, naturally this day Ger
man in character. They speak Ger
among themselves. They even are
sometimes driven (as in the case OF the
queens book) to explain their imper-
feet and unfamiliar English phrases by
more perfect and familiar German
phrases; and, so far us family belong
ings can go, their personal sympathies
must lie rather outside than inside OF
these islands. We do not for a mo
ment intend to convey, nor do we at
all entertain the idea, that these per-
sonal ties have ever led them to sub
ordinate the interests of Britain to
those of any foreign country whatever
or that such ties could ever induce
them to forget to prize the less pre-,
eminent honor that belongs to Brit
ish sovereign; but the fact exists that
they and all their blood relations are
foreigners by race, and, though this Is
tacitly overlooked, there have been
times when il has been remembered TO
the serious injury of the country and
the grave danger of the royal family
itself. Vanity Fair.
