others, the great majority, this new
and sinister figure of the court favorite
called indifferently Hirsch or Sassoun
or Bleichroder or Pollakoff, has been
brought into familiar prominence. Some
times one of them, as in the case of Baron
Hirsch, combines with servile and fawn-
ing instincts notable and even lofty
qualities. Mankind very properly is will
ing in this case of Maurice Hirsch, to
pass over lightly and quickly the meaner
and baser side of his character and life,
and to dwell for a long time upon the
splendor and magnitude of his philan-
thropic conceptions.
OF all his really big dreams and plans
for the philanthropic employment of his
millions, l am not sure that this project
of freeing the Prince of Wales from
debt, which rumor imputes to him, was
not, from his own point of view, among
the best. He hated and dreaded repub-
lies, and spent of his boards freely to
help both Boulanger's and the Orlean-
lists campaigns in France. But perhaps
the gravest danger threatening the mon
archical idea in our time is wrapped up in
this question of the Prince of Wales
helplessness in the grip of his usurers
and unpopular parasites, who will end
by making his reign in England impos-
sible if he cannot shake them off before
his mother vacates the throne. Harold

ROYAL, AND YET AFRAID

A story emerged from the Marlbor-
club few evenings ago, to the effect
that the Prince of Wales was frightened
out of his wits at the prospect of being
called upon by the executors of the
Hirsch estate to square his accounts
with it, Now there is a pleaSanter tale
atloat, which says that when the baron's
latest will is produced it will be found
to contain private injunction that all
the princes debts to him are to be can
celed. / have even heard a version of
this latter report which declares that the
Will not only wipes the Hirsch slate
clean, so far as the prince goes, but pro-
Vides that all his other debts are to be
paid as we'll l remember now having
heard in Moscow five years ago this same
statement, that Baron Hirsch had an
understanding with the Prince of Wales
by which the latter was going to be
relieved from the terrible weight of debt
he has been suffering under for years.
The merest shadow of a rumor of such
a thing, coming now in the interval be-
tween the death of the baron and the
production of his will, is enough to rob
every tradeSman and money lender in
London of his sleep
What does the Prince of Wales owe?
Probably nobody alive could answer
the question, even approximately, Off
hand. For thirty years, at least, his
books have shown a balance on the
wrong side, and, despite the large sums
annually passing into his strong box,
the deficit is believed to have increased
every year with gloomy regularity. In
1854 he was said to be getting, from all
sources combined, about $780, goo year.
What his gross income now is 1t would
puzzle anybody to lind out. Mr.. Glad
stone in 1889, with knightly Difference
to the dynastic principle which has al
ways been so marked characteristic
in him (and which has been consistently
repaid by the most spiteful ingratitude
from at least the head of the dynastO,
passed through the house of commons
a measure to consolidate, rearrange,
and otherwise reform the whole business
of royal grants, with particular reference
to the Prince of Wales and his family.
Mr. Gladstone Vouched for the bill in a
speech of great earnestness and elo-
quence, and it went through all rlghu
but l have never met anyone who felt
sure that he understood the exact effect
of it's provisions. 1t was assumed, now
ever, that it certainly left the prince
no worse off than he was before, and 1T
did, in one respect, definitely increase
his specified income by creating new
grant of s1S0,000 a &ear to him for his
children-ths to BERN lieu of further
grants to them as individuals during his
lifetime. Since then his elder son has
died, and his eldest daughter has mar
ried Danker-peer, WHO 10 eioo an III
innate friend of the prince and who we
may be sure, has relieved him from the
necessity of accounting for that particu-
lar fourth of the grant. Another daugh-
ter, the Princess Maud, is to wed a
cousin OF the Danish family. who will be
handsomely provided for from finan-
cial point of view, and it may be taken
for granted that here, too. no heavy out
lay is to be dreaded by the prince, her
father.

In this instance he had succeeded in

him completely, and then. having pre-
viously prepared his mind to account

Some Facts About Wood

Observations upon the preservation of
timber have shown that, the more warm
and humid the atmosphere, the more
rapidly the wood deteriorates, also that
timber felled in winter is more durable
than that felled in summer, and that
timber raised in cold climates is most
durable, while the best timber is pro-
duced on meagre soil When under
water, the most lasting woods are oak,
alder ard pine, the least so being birch,
linden and willow; in the air, timber
is exposed to the ravages of insects, this
being the case with sap wood more than
the heart wood; woods rich In resin, like
the elm and poplar, are not so much
troubled as those like the alder, willow.
birch, yoke elm, and red beech, which
have an abundance Of sap and are rap
idly deteriorated. Timber construction
which is protected from heat and hu-
midity is only endangered by worms,
and, ON the contrary, that which is In
q damp and badly aired place Injuries by
rotting, which is really the result of
microscopic vegetable growths. The pri-
mary cause of the decay of wood Is the
presence of albuminoid substances in the
sap and incrusting materials, these ma
turally affording nourishment to insects
and microscopic negotiations and their
destructive work.-New York Sun.

Strikes

1t is not strange that the milwaukee,
street car strike failed. Against mo-
nopolies most strikes must fail. Though
workingmen may, by strikes, occasi0nI
ally bring to their terms employers whi
carry on business under the laws o.
competition, they cannot always succee
against employers who are beyond tn
control of competition.
This fact, which workingmen knoy
whether they have thought much abol
it's bearings or not, should suggest I
them the radical error they make
adopting the strike as their principi
weapon. Monopolies, against whi{
strikes are powerless, constitute the re
enemy of labor! ordinary employers. Z

they succeed at all, are fellow-labore
with the men they hire. A Weap
which rebounds from the shields of I

But it is not altogether the fault
workingmen that they fight these n
whose interests are the same as I'll
own. Since employers themselves
gard their interests as being comm

being common with those of workingI
it is not remarkable that workingd

This view of the matter is wrong,f
ically and deplorably wrong. The int

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnif-

celled by any line west of Chicago:
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far-ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
