Perhaps the slurs of foreigners re-
specting what they are pleased to term
the Yankees commercial instincts
usually they give it some harsher
name-are not SO frequent or pro-
nounced as in former years now that
they are busly engaged in cultivating
the attention of American heiresses.
nevertheless the fact that they ever
made use of such criticism shows that
they are not above the tabooed custom
of the pot calling the kettle back. We
themselves for foreign title and place
in society and foreigners are inclined
to SMILE although the practice of sell
ing ones self is so common among
them that any particular instance at
tracts but very little notice from them.
How contemplate that place and title
are can hardly be understood on this
side the ocean nor is it on the other,
for that matter. England, which is a
sort of democracy and supports roy
atty simply for purposes of show, can
scarcely realize what show it really
is.

Hirsch left $5,000,000 to the Prince of
Wales by will. 1t is now known that
the baron held obligations to nearly
that amount for money he had loaned

king, Col North. on Tuesday, again
calls attention to the same condition
| of affairs. North was Yorkshire
man who could not read or write at
fourteen. and followed the trade of
sailor and boiler maker. But he had
brains and energy, being so far as
those endowments went, one of ma
lures rohlemen, we occasionally hear
about. He saw, what most others
didn't, that the nitrate fields of Peru
were more valuable than gold mines
and he had the shrewdness and energy
to act successfully upon this discovery
which he made soon after his first visit
to that country in the capacity of a
| boiler rivcter. Having acquired i'm
mense wealth, his annual income from
the nitrate fields and investments al
over the world was estimated at So.
