PRINCES CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Writing of Christmas with an
Emperor" Nagel Won Brave gives
this interesting description in the
December Ladies Home .ToH1naI
Of the ceremonies attendant upon
the great feast day in the German
palace: "The royal children have
exchanged gifts chosen with much
solicitous deliberation at a well
known toy shop. Amy one hap
pening to be in the shoD at the
time might have seen the Empress
enter with her children, each pro-
vided with his own purse, and
completing his purchases aside so
that the others might be surprised.
The younger three princes de-
manded the advice oi their mother
in their selections. The princes
investigated everything, but upon
inquiring the price generally found
it too dear. Three marks for this
bookrack7" and with a glance into
his purse, No. that is too expen-
siVe. / haven't over IS pfennigs,
What can you give me for that
price3 And the shopgirl proceeds
to show the princes something
quite nice for the required amount.
"But now the brothers and sis
ters have exchanged thanks for
their gifts; the first impetuosity OF
the Christmas rejoicings has given
place to a more tranquil examina-
ton and inspection, and ladies and
gentlemen OF the court have made
the rounds in general state of
admiration. Lackeys prepare a
collation. in the midst Of the gifts,
for which, however, the young
people find no time. It fares with
them as with all healthy children
in the excitement attendant on
Christmas eve, for they are healthy
and genuine German children.
The Christmas celebration in the
Shell salon, the excitement and
the rejoicings have produced their
reaction on them, and at 9 o'clock
even the elder princes are abed. I"

In 1901 Kidd was put upon his
trial Tor the murder Of Moore, one
OF his own crew, whom in fit OF
passion he had killed with a
bucket. He was also arraigned, |
together with nine of his crew,
upon a charge Of piracy. Kidd
was convicted upon both charges,
and his nine companions upon the
charge Of piracy, and all were SEN
fenced to death. Five OF the crew
were subsequently pardoned, but
Kidd and tfe other four were, on
May 20, 1901, hanged at Execu-
ton Dock. To the last Kidd pro-
tested his innocence. Although
he admitted having killed Moore,
he alleged that it was by accident
and not premeditated. The ac-
counts Of the trial, OF which there
are several extant, show that the
proceedings were, according to
modern ideas, not fair. He had
no counsel upon the charge OF
murder; and time was not allowed
him to produce very material
document-the French pass OF the
Ouetta Merchant, which was de-
tanned by Bellamont. Although
its existence was denied by the
persecution, and doubted by the
Court, facsimile of it is amongst
the Admiralty Court records. It
is popularly supposed that the pir-
ate's death was more terrible thar
hanging; that he was tied to a
stake during the rising tide and
there lett until the water flowed
over his head. There is no evil
dence amongst the records of the
Admiralty Court that this abomin-
able practice was ever in use in
England. On the contrary, there
are documents of the sixteenth
century showing that pirates were
hanged; and it is certain that KiGd
and his companions suffered that
| death.
The most curious document
amongst the Admiralty Court
! records is the sale catalogue of
KIdds treasure. The catalogue
itself is printed, but the names Of
the buyers, and the sums bid, are
written 10 the left and right hand
margins. The total sum realized,
after deducting sale expenses and
customs duty, was S7,39o, OF which
! 6s8s was restored to Brakeman
and others, $50 allowed to Kidd
to defray the expense ofhis defense,
and 6Is given to the gaoler for the
keep Of the black boy and girl.
The total amount Of the bullion
sold was I,23I OF. Of gold, and
2,9o5 OF. of silver. The proceeds
Of the sale, after deducting the
sums mentioned above, was 66,742.
This sum was, in I7o5, given by
| Queen Anne to Greenwich Hospi-
| tai.
