Prince Christian and Princess Alex

forenoon of May 26 from their we'd
ding tour of Europe. They were car
ried by the royal pleasure yacht DAN
nebrog, accompanied by two battle
ships. The landing took place at the
custom house, which was beautifully
decorated. In tent, raised especially
for the purpose. the arriving couple
was received by all the mem bers of the
roy al family and the guests. Immense
crowds of people had congregated to
welcome the young couple. and flags
and bunting waved from the houses
and ships in the harbor. From the
custom house the royal party drove to
the residence palace at Amalienborg,
where a reception and greeting took
place in the palace of Christian VII.
At o'clock the party proceeded to
Sorgenfri, passed through the main
thoroughfares of the city. There was
a rushing and waving of flags and pen
nants everywhere, and many of the
houses along the streets through which
the cortege passed were decorated with
garlands and flowers. Countless null
titudes of people crowded the verandas,
streets and public places along the
route, and the whole city seemed to be
wrapped in an atmosphere of great de-

Finding a Grave with an Egx.

The Miau-tsze, tribe in Asia, will
not bury man until they have first
tested the ground with an egg. This
operation is curious. While the body
is being prepared for burial, number

tives OF the deceased, go out to the
appointed spot, bearing a large basket
Of eggs. STOPPING down. one OF the ma
tives lets an egg drop softly on the

In this way the party often wander

Mortgages.
Commissioner Powers is bringing
down to date the statistics collected by
~->0 VA
mortgage foreclosures. His figures
seem to indicate mainly two things:
That there are not so many foreclos-
ures as there used to be, and that there
are fewer where farming is diversified
than in one crop country.
The figures have previously been
published from 1880 to 1898, with a few
counties running back to 1853. The
bureau has been collecting figures from
1898 to 1897, and has now completed
the comparisons for 1894 and 1895 The
, figures for the last two years will be
ready in another month. AS far as
Mr.. Powers has got they show the
same as the preceding two years, only
more strikingly. Mortgage foreclos-
ures have almost vanished in the
richer farming counties, where there
is market gardening and dairy farm
