A sad want OF oririnalltr.

The Crown Prince of Denmark fur
nishes curious example Of the no
menclature practiced by royal famil-
les. The rule in Turkey was that
Amurath should succeed Amurath,
and in England that George should
succeed George or Henry should fol-
low Henry. In Denmark, however,
the rule has long been that Frederick
should succeed Christian and Chris
tian Frederick.
This is confusing enough to write
intelligibly, but it is still worse in
practice. Nearly every Danish king
is named Christian or Frederick, and
so the difficulty of distinguishing be-
tween them is great.
The present king is Christian the
Ninth. He was the son of Frederick
the Seventh. He will be succeeded
by Frederick the Eighth, who in turn
will be followed by Christian the
Tenth. The mere fact that the pres
ent Crown Prince is known as Fred
erick, and that If he died before his
father he would be succeeded in his
rights by his son, Prince Christian,
is nothing at all.
All the sons Of the royal house of
Denmark are Christian and Freder-
ick, and therefore, from the point OF
view of mere nomenclature, il does
not matter which of them succeeds
to the crown. The next two lots in
crowned heads in Copenhagen would
be labeled Frederick the Eighth and
Christian the Tenth, under any cir
cumstances.
In many princely German families
every male who is born is christened
by the hereditary name. The result
OF this peculiar custom may be illus
trated by the fact that in the reign
ing house of Reuss the Henrys run up
to Henry the Sixty-ninth.

their treasuI es are TO q great extent I'M
available. In tho Library of Congress
the volumes will be handled almost en-

to the bookstacks and books brought
from them to the desk for distribution by
trays suspended from endless chains,
the latter being made to travel by
means OF an engine in tho basement.
The mechanism will be noiseless and
invisible also, the carriers going beneath
the floor OF the great central reading
room to and fro between the Librarian 8
desk and the book-stacks. Every arriv-
ing tray Will dump itself automatically
at the desk. Likewise, In taking vol
umes back, each tray will spill its con-
fonts or its own accord at certain time.
For example, II a book belongs on tier
7, the desk attendant waits until the
carrier marked z comes along and puts
the volume on it as it passes. When it
gets to tier the book spills out by the
action of peg and catch, and the per-
son in charge Of that tier puts it away
on its proper shelf.
A Great Collection.
When one learns that there are $780,
000 bound volumes in the library OF
Congress, mind does not grasp the fact
with very clear comprehension. 1t is
easier to absorb the idea when it is ex-
planned that this number of books,
placed side by side on shelf, would
stretch eleven miles. But the new

M. Betham Edwards, In her "France
OF To-day" speaks again and again OF
the benefits accruing from the owner
ship Of land by the peasantry. As a
native OF England, she seems to have
been peculiarly impressed by this
feature OF life across the Channel.
She writes with special enthusiasm
of Osse, "a remote Pyrenean village
admirably adapted for the study of
rural life" "A beautiful spirit of
humanity" she declares, "a delicacy,
rare among the most polished socie-
ties, characterize these frugal sons
and daughters of the soil.
AS sordidness carried TO the pitch
of brutality is often imputed to the
French peasant, let me relate an in
cident that occurred hereabouts not
long before my visit.
The land is infinitely divided, many
possessing a cottage and field only.
One OF these small owners was sud-
denly ruined by the falling OF rock;
his cottage, cow and pig were de-
stroyed. Without saying a word, his
neighbors, like himself in very hum
BILE circumstances, made up purse
of five hundred francs, large sum
with such doners, and, too delicate
minded to offer the gift themselves,
deputed an outsider to do it anOny-
mously.
Another instance in point came to
my knowledge. This was Of a young
woman servant, who, during the i'll
ness of her employers, refused to
accept wages.
"You will pay me some other time,
said the girl to her mistress. Il am
sure you can i'll afford to give me the
money now"
Peasant property, and rural life
generally, here presented to me some
wholly new features. One OF these is
the almost entire self-suriicingness OF
very small holdings, their owners
neither buying nor selling, making
their little crops and stock almost
completely supply their needs.
On a field or two enough flax Is
grown with which to spin linen fol
home use, enough wheat and Indian
corn for the years bread-making,
maize being mixed with wheaton
-four Again, pigs and poultry are
reared for daily consumption.
Expenditure Is reduced to the mini.
mum. Coffee is luxury seldom in
dulged in. A few drink homegrown
wine, but all are large milk drinkers

dairy farmer.

A Pea-tato.

"I'll tell you queer experiment a
neighbor Of mine made with a pea
and potato" said James A. Hegler,
OF Sunny South, Ala.
Simpson isn't farmer, nor hor-
ticulturist, nor yet CRATER He
works in a small foundry in our town
and is a core-maker by trade. That
fellow is always scheming around
with one thing and another, trying
to invent something. was looking
over his garden fence one day last
spring, while Simpson was planting
potatoes, and he came up to where
was standing, holding a potato in his
hand.
"'See this potato?' he said.
IL said Yes
"Well, said he, I'm going to get
a pea and force it into the heart OF
this potato. Then we will watch it
and see how it comes up.
ale took pea out Of his pocket,
pushed a hole into the potato with
his lead Iencil and then pushed the
pea into the center. Then he took
the potato to the center Of the garden
and planted it. For months visited
that garden daily and watched the
growth of that 'pea-tato.' 1t came
up a most remarkable plant. can
hardly describe it to you. 1t was a
commingling of the two, with the
potato dominating the pea. The
potato plant looked like a sweet
potato vine and ran along the ground,
throwing out shoots that took root.
The flower of the plant was not the
ordinary cream yellow one of the
potato. 1t was a mixture Of the
same shape as the daisy, with white,
yellow, and pink petals of very pale
hue. The fruit Of the plant was
much like the ordinary potato, only
it was much smaller, with a skin OF
a cream color. 1t did not taste much
different from the ordinary potato,
although there was just smack Of
pea soup about it. The plant -four
ished we'll enough and did not require
much care. Simpson says that next
year he will plant several rows in
that manner, as he seems to prefer
the new kind to the old. / rather
think that the new plant is a good
one, although some other vegetable
might do better"

Not a little OF the printed matter sub
mated for copyrighting Is immoral aud
so unfit for publication IS to render IL
liable to seizure under the laws. But,
oddly enough, the Librarian Of Congress
has no discretion In this regard, and he
Is compelled to grant the copyright In
every instance, so long as the material
Is original. A common fraud attempted
10 the request for copyright on an old
book published under a new title. In
order TO guard against this the assist
ants In charge OF the copyright busi-
ness must be familiar with everything
that has been issued from the press.
Obviously this is not wholly possible,
but Il is wonderful how near they come
to It, so that 1t Is very rare for such a
cheat to pass undiscovered. People
offer many things for copyrlghting
which do not come legally within the
range Of that Institution. Recently
dozens OF applications have been made
for copyrights on campaign badges.

Mr. stewart Knili Has Been Formally Re-

Mr.. stewart KnilI Has Been FORMALLY Re-
ceived In the House OF Lords.
In accordance with custom Baron
Hershell, the Lord Chancellor, re-
ceived Stewart Knill, the Lord
Mayor-elect, In the House OF Lords.
The Lord Mayor was accompanied by
other city officials The Lord Chan
cellor commented on the opposition
made to the Lord Mayors election on
account OF his creed and said that
the time was past when a Catholic
was debarred from holding ONCE.
The creed In which a man believed
was now no barrier to privileges,
rights and honors.
The new Lord Mayor-elect OF Lon
don belongs to branch, of the old
Catholic family OF the Knills, for CEN
turtles rooted In Herefordshire. His
father was the architect OF his own
fortunes, and In time became a
wealthy wharflnger. His dlstin-
guished son was born in 1920, was
educated at Blackheath school and
the University of Bonn. He joined
his father in his business OF wharfin-
ger, which is now his own, but In the
description of his style he is named
as "citizen and goldsmith" He is In
the commission of peace for the city
of London, and is magistrate OF
Kent. He is stanch conservative.
His election created no-popery
storm, in consequence Of his refusal
to promise that he will be present al
the services at city churches and al
ST. Paul's Cathedral, which it Is Gus
tomary for the Lord Mayor to attend,
1t has been felt in unprecedented
circles that the newly elect has be-
haved in a straightforward and manly
manner, and that, while preserving
