Il seems hardly conceivable that iron
should ever be worth its weight in gold,
yet such seems to be the case In regard to
what are known as German mourning
rings of 1913 for which there Is just
present grcst inquiry by collectors OF
curios. The history of these curious evil
dences OF Ger man patriotism is not gen.
erslIy known. During the national
awakening against Napoleon In 1913, the
Princess OF the royal house made an
appeal to the people for the sacrifice of
personal ornament not unlike that msde
by the Long Psrlisments, at the begin
ming of the civil wars. Gold mourning
rings were sent in immense numbers to
the treasury in Berlin, and each sender re
csiyed in sck ow led cement an iron ring
upon which was inscribed, "Gold give
for iron."
From swincnunde alone no fewer than
ia golc rings were sacrificed to the Faith
crland. andeiron rings sent tbitber In ex
chspge. Specimens of these iron rings
are now worth more than their weight In
gold.

Among the thousands OF bright young

which for years and for decades older
heads have puzzled oftentimes' Inc
young student in question mas certainly
got on the:right track at the outset for
he asks the pertinent and fundsmen'h
question il England is free trade
country where does she obtain the revenue
neoesssary for the maintenance oil her
government In answer TO this vital
query IL may be ssid that II is and mas
been the aim OF the English government
10 impress upon other nations the idea
that Englsnd is free trade country, out
there is q good deal of political and diplo-
matte legerdemain mixed up with this
effort. As q matter of fact, by one method
or another, the government OF Grsa-
Britain mansgss TO extract . revenue
from about every article imported. A
considerable portion OF the revenue Is
derived from tsrin, direct and indirect,
OH the imports of it's people, and the re-
mainder is raised by direct taxation. AS
an English writer once stated it. in sub
stance. the Engiishmsn is taxed at every
turn. The cradle in which he sleeps
