Walking Tour. of German Students.


Walking tours are the great fad of
the German students, writes William
+. Curtis. in the Chicago Record. With
n suit of knickerbockers, Norfolk
jacket, knapsack, pair of hobnail
shoes and an alpenstOck, they start out
for tramp of several weeks among the
mountains and forests of Germany,
which is a most agreeable and not an
ardueHs undertaking. The German for
ests are entirely safe. They are filled
with fairies, dragons, giants and chiv-
alrous knights, but nobody ever sees
them except in dreams, or hears of
them except in the story books. The
most dangerous beasts one encounters
are the spotted deer that run free and
are so completely protected by the
game laws that they are as gentle and
as tame as lambs. The roads are
smooth and hard and shady, and every
mile or so there is hospitable inn for
rest and refreshment. The usual speed
of the walking tourist is about six miles
a day, one mile, one beer, and ten min
utes' rest; two miles, two beers and
twenty minutes rest; three miles. three
beers and thirty minutes rest, four
miles. four beers and forty minutes
rest: five miles, five beers and fifty min
utes' rest; six miles. six beers and the
end of the days journey. 1t is impos-
sible TO 20 :a:y farther.

Owned by the Nation.

Queen Elizabeth was passionately
fond of flowers. but with the wealth of
an imperial nation at her back she
could not enjoy them at all seasons of
the year as she desired. The uncertain
~ of the time, manner and quality of
the flowers were irrita ting to her. and
from her dissatisfaction with the exist
ing order of things grew the most ia
nous garden Of the world. With her
own hands Queen Elizabeth laid out
the grounds that were to produce and
fructify the flowers of her drawing
room. She started to raise flowers for
her own personal qualification. and
ended by producing flowers and plants
for the millions. No single desire of
an impetuous queen ever yielded better
fruit On Queen Elizaberh's little flow
er garden the nation gazeS to-day with
national pride. Its original purpose of
supplying the royal table with cut
flowers is still observed. but that is Il
small incidental feature of the Kew
The garden belongs to the nation. and

lettered as we'll as the wise and stu

Merit Alwaxs Wina.

The hard times OF the past three or four
years have been very destructive to all in
dustrial affairs, and the railways have
had an unusual amount of difficulty in
making both ends meet. Roads that
have, during this trying period, earned
dividends while at the same time afford
ing high class transportation facilities TO
their patrons, have, indeed, been fortunate.
And such an event speaks well for the
management of the roads.
The record OF the Nickel Plate road dur
ing the recent period of industrial de-
preston has indeed been remarkable, and
it speaks most eloquently of the cOnserva-
tive judgment of the managers. For this
road has made great and steady progress
IN the material improvement of its road
way and appliances, and in perfeeting its
equipment. The interests of the public
have been IN nOwise neglected; in fact,
the success of this road has Injured to the
benefit of the public as much, if not more,
than TO the stockholders. The condition
of the road today shows this. Great and
valuable Improvement Of permanent
character have been made--in the shape
of Strengthening the roadway, lridgeS,
and other accessories, and procuring new
and improved safety appliances; new
sleeping ears put on, new and powerful
engines have teen placed in service, and
everything has been done TO raise the
standard of the road. to perfect its service.
and 10 give it a leading place among tue
hest roads in the country. The result has
been obvious. The people have observed
the progressive spirit of this road, have
given it liberal patronage, have enjoyed
its excellent facilities and that tells the
whole story Of highly successful enter
prise.
Among the most noteworthy improve
ments effected by the Nickel Plate route
is the introduction of first-class dining
car service which has won the approval
of the best class of patrons. Then the
coaches have been ilIuminted by the BRILL
liant Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and
placed in the care of a cOlOred porter. So
the passengers have had the best that
money can afford, at the lowest rates.
The through train service of the Nickel
Plate, running IN connection with the
West Shore and Fitchburg railroads
over the great Hoosac Tunnel route, be-
tween New York, Boston and Chicago,
ranks with the best i'll the country, and
has become deservedly popular. Elegant
new coaches, and palatial Wagner buffet
sleeping ears run through without change;
the service is unexcelled, the time fast,
the scenery most fascinating.
Located along the south shore of Lake
Erie are many substantial and attractive
summer resorts that are yearly growing
in popularity, and this class of travel
promises a continually increasing source
of revenue to the Nickel Plate road.

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting

Probably in the history OF the CONT

new but rapidly developing country.

quiremcnts for a comfortable existence
are met. The development that is now
taking place in the mining districts
gives an impulse TO agriculture. and
good prices with good crops. bring
about Il state of affairs that the crowd

are taking advantage of. The Associat-

the returns from the West during the
past three months have exceeded eX-

which had been written off a year ago
Directors of leading loan companies are
taking n greater interest in business OF
their institutions. and are ipquiring in

have been made.
The climate in the Western provinces
of Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and
Saskatchewan is excellent, there being
no healthier anywhere. The Canadian
Government is now offering special in
ducements for the encouragement of
settlers. and they have their agents at
work throughout the United States for
the purpose of giving information and
distributing literature. Among those
going TO Canada are many ex-Cana-
dians. who have failed TO make as good
living as they expected in the United
States.

but must the wagcworkcrs he forced

This is question which is attracting
the attention of intelligent men in the
East. 1t has been asked by the opera

at least, that part of the press which
is not the mere echo of plutocratic sell
timcnts. In discussing this matter the
Boston Post says:
"lf there ever WAS Il case in which q
cutdown from 10 per cent. in the wages
of labor was unjustiiiablc. it is the case
of those cotton mills in New Bedford,
which have paid large dividends for
many years up Ia and including the
year 1897 just closed. Profits which
permit the payment of dividends of Il,

But those profits had been cover

managers see before them a dull pc
Rod of business. Superintendents must
have salaries of $4,000 TO $4,000 a
year. How are they to get them II the
wage of the operatives is not reduced?
