Peace being restored along her north

The friendhness of the intercourse be-

fact that during this long period the

CaICAGo's COLLAPSE.

The real estate editor of the Chicago
Tribune is something Of an artist in his
line. His art lies in his ability to parry
the blows, made by outside investors, at
the alttudinous figures which prevailed
in 1890. He also has the art of dealing
cut very stubborn facts relative to
values and rents in the windy wonder
with very deft hand. Instead of say
ing in good plain English that the
worlds fair boom is husted-like the
speculative boomS in many western
cities-he says: Agents ana brokers
derive little comfort from the present
real estate situation He attributes the
dull market mostly to the fact that in
vestors are out of the CITY, and de-
precates the fact that the specula-
tive season Is being annually shorten
ed by "a more general desertion
of Chicago by mnnied men during the
summer months" lie thinks specuia-
ZION in acres has been conspicuous bv
its absence during the last wear, and
that business has reac he'd more con-
servative basis There Is certainly no
doubt about that. Tie fact is that con-
servatism hardly describes the situation.
Il Is general Generalization on a scale
never eqralled IN any city; all growing
out of the foolish craze that Chicago
was TO double her population on account
Of the fair being located there for SIX
months. 1t is simply the operation OF
natural laws, which apply a. al times
and places. Chicago, with all her re-
sources, is lot proof against the
penalties Of contracting spec
ulative debts. neither viii she
recuperate before the debts are paid.

ROYAL PAGES.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
1t is only at the Imperial and royal
courts Of Europe that 1.-The pretty page
with the dimpled chin" so sweetly
sung by the poet, and who constituted
one of the most picturesque and ro-
mantle features OF medieval times,
still survives.
Royal and imperial pages range in
age from twelve to sixteen years. They
are appointed by the sovereign, enjoy
pay. prerogatives and perquisites,
much as do the grown-up attendants
on royalty and are prescribed certain
definite duties. The duties are, posi-
bly,, no more important than IN the
days OF yore, when there was no postal
service and the love-lOrn PRINCESS was
forced to rely upon the secrecy and the
fidelity Of her page for the conveyance
OF messages to her knight or trouba-
dour. But tact and discretion IN per
forming them are probably more neces-
sary now than ever, owing 20 the
popular craving for information con-
corning the personal and home life of
emperors and kings, and the attempts
are often made TO extract information
of this kind from the pages or persons
who imagine that because they are
young their tongues are likely to be
loose.
To tougher them against such at
tempts and qualify them for this ser
vice the royal pages are subjected 20
very careful training. At the court OK
ST. Petersburg, for instance, there IS
regular college of pages, where they
are educated and maintained a. the ex-
pense of the crown.

School of Cadets, nearly all the mem
bers of which are of noble birth. This
School of Cadets is sort of German
West Point, but the pupils enter at the
age OF fourteen and receive their COM
missions as officers at a much earlier
age than in this country.
At the court of st. Petersburg the
corps of pages is sort of imperial
school where a number of lads, sons OF
noblemen and state dignitaries, both
civil and military. are educated at the
cars expense and under his supervi-
sion. On attaining their eighteenth
year they usually obtain commissions
as officers of the regiment of Chevalier
guards. The czarina maintains sim
liar institution for girls, who, on
graduating, receive the titular APP
pointment of maid of honor to her
majesty.
At the court of France, as long as
there was one, similar provision was
made for education of the pages at the
sovereign's expense. They were care
fully taught how to write, they had a
special riding school at Versailles, and
they were instructed in fencing. Their
uniform was of royal blue with gold
buttons. and one of their duties was 10

went out walking or driving. IL must

carriage was constructed for him
which had no springs or straps behind,
and went jolting over the cobble stones
with which Paris and Versailles were
paved in those days, in manner quite
terrific. However wholesome such
jolting may have been for the king, il
must have been very uncomfortable
for the pages, whose duty it was TO
stand behing the royal carriage or on
the doorstep at either side. An old
