Costumes Of the spreewald.

Consul General De Kay writes pa
per entitled "An Inland Venice" for
The Century. 1t is description OF life
in the Serbian swamp, Vendland. Mr..
De Kay says: "School OUT at the VII
lage school Of Burg is q pretty sight.
The substantial brick building overlooks
the ever murmuring highway, and the
boys and girls, instead OF stringing up
a dusty road, tumble into punts and
pole away for dear life-the boys much
like other boys, but the girls reduced
facsimiles of their mothers and elder
sisters, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their strange
mob caps with wings. AS one moves
down stream from Burg by Leipe to
Lubbenau, these wings grow smaller
and collapse, while the skirts grow
longer and more resemble the ordinary
dress of women. At a dance the Spree
walder knows instantly, by the pecui
iarities of her costume, from what VII
lage woman or girl has come. "A

FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY.
eDgland's Traditional Enemy Not Behind
Her In Armament

The French navy ranks next to that
Of England in numbers while in eff
tieucy and fighting qualities the French
fhips arc fclly equal TO their English
rivals. In fact, in naval architecture the
French early took the Lead ard many
of the English typgs of ships were mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Cbautauquan. One Of the chief differ
ences between the English and the
French armored ships today is i'll the
disposition of the armor and the conse-
quent design Of the hull English de-
signers have striven TO protect the men
working the guns, and TO do this they
have reduced the length of the ships
armor. French and naval architects, on
the other hand, have given little atten-
ton to the protection of men and great
| deal to the protection of the water line.
| Therefore they have reduced the breadth
of the ships armor.
| 1t is worthy of note that France is
the only great power which levies tax
ON such of her citizens as either do
not enlist in the standing army or VIII
enlist for shorter term than three
years. Only those who are officially de-
clared "impecunious" are exempt from
such tax. IL is payable annually as
long as the liability to service lasts, and
the revenue from this source amounts to
about 30, 600, 600 francs, or So, 600, 900,
annually.
The officers of the French army re-
ceive very thorough education at the
different military schools. At the heac
of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school IL
Paris, which admits $50 pupils annually
! after competitive examination. Th'
, course occupies nine months i'll the yea
for two years.
As it is impossible to keep under arm
for three yeals the entire annual contln
gent of recruits, the law provides 10
the discharge of thoroughly trained me-
at the end of the first or second year c
active service in such proportions as I
e bring down the peace strength OF tn
II army to the number annually determir
2 ed upon by the general assembly. Pre-
a erences in this connection are decide
). - lot. For this purpose every recru
at his enrolment draws a number, al
only those having the highest numbe
= are entitled to consideration.

Production will begin at the Franklin
Junior as soon az arrangements are CON-
pleted with the Mineral Range railroad
company to transport rock from the Jun
or to the old mine where it will be taken
by the MINES railroad to the incline and
down to the Franklin mill to be treated
This is Supt. Pope's plan, at least Tor the
coming summer, it beng considered
cheaper to transport the rock and use
head in the Franklin mill than to start
up the old Peninsula mill for only one
head. The guage OF the Franklin's rail-
road is different than the Mineral Range,

mine cars when the roads join and run
down the incline in them. The matter Ol

BANKER KILLS HIMSELF.
Vice President Hammond of the Failed
Chicago Concern

Vice President Hammond of the Failed
Chicago Concern
Chicago, Jan. 4.-The second suicide
resulting from the failure of the Ma
tional Bank of Illinois was chronicled
Saturday when William A. Hammond.
second vice president of the suspended
institution. and its virtual head, threw
himself into the lake. The mad plunge
was taken from the end of the old
Foster pier. off Evanston, which pro-
jects its ruined length a thousand feet
into Lake Michigan from the foot of
Dempster street. A short block away
is the finely appointed Greenwood
boulevard home. which the desperate
man left in scanty attire between l
and o'clock Saturday morning to seek
death beneath the waters of the lake.
Less than ten hours afterward the wind
and waves relieved the narrowing
uncertainty of his family and friends
by casting the body ashore on the
Church street beach, full quarter of
a mile from the pier around which
police, life-saversand tugs were drag
ging the lake bottom for trace of the
remains.
Baltimore, Jan. 5.-Richard Cornelius,
cashier, and for forty-two years con-
nected with the National Farmers and
Planters bank, of which Enoch Pratt
was president up to the time of his
death, was discovered to be short in
his accounts to the amount of about
$780, 900 yesterday. About 10 o'clock yes
terday morning Cornelius was notified
of this discovery and left the bank.
At lis o'clock in the afternoon his
dead body was found in the duck pond
at Druid Hill park. He had committed
suicide by drowning.
Liberty, Ind, Jan. 4.-Ienry Hustled,
cashier of the Union County National
bank, was found hanging by the neck
to a rafter in his stable Saturday. His
knees were touching the floor and he
was dead when found by his son. No
motive is known. Husted's financial
affairs are in good condition. He was
67 years old and an eX-soldier.
