Although it is not yet quite certain that
the President of Mexico and his charm
ing wife win visit the United States this
summer their friends in Washington are
confident that they will have an oppOrtu-
nifty to welcome them before many
months have passed. They know that
such a trip has been contemplated for
some time ard that Mrs. DiaZ
has long been urging her husband to Wis
it this country so they feel sure that she
will have her way.
The last visit of President and Mrs.
Diaz to the United States was in 1888,
the occasion being their wedding jour-
ney. The fair young bride is we'll re-
membered as a most beautiful woman
and President Diaz as a strikingly
handsome man, of partly Spanish
type, but with the most splendid ply
sique of inherited rugged Aztec
strength. He was ffty-two years old,

"GOETHES LAST LOVE- STILL LIV-
ING.

London Chronicle: AS sixty-seven
years will have elapsed next week since
Goethe's death, very few persons now
living can have seen him in flesh. Bar
oness Ulrihe vor Levetzow, however, who
has just kept her nlne-tifth birthday at
Triblitz. in Bohemia, not merely knew the
poet, but was even privileged to stir the
last embers of the tender passion in his
suspectible though aged breast. In 1923,
then a lovely girl of nineteen, she accom-
panied her mother to Marienbad, where
the author of Faust" was making his
annual cure. Dazzled by her beauty, he
succeeded without difficulty in getting an
Introduction and there ensued on his
part a serious attachment, cordially re-
~cipIOcated, it is said. by the lady herself.
Fear of ridicule prevented Goethe con
tracing a marriage of the May and De-
cember type. He tore himself way,
writing the well-knoWn "Marienbad Ele-
gy," in the post-chaise that took him
back to Weimar. Ulrike, having thus
won the title of "Goethe's last love- re-
manned satisfied with this distinction
for the rest of her life, and is still "Frei-
fraulein' Won Levetzow. although her
wealth and beauty attracted many suit
ors. She enjoys. we are told. perfect
health, and devote herself to the well
fare of the poor on her large estates.

While the Princess Salm-Salm is al
most unknown to the present generation
her name awakens the most pleasant
memories for those who can remember
as far back as thirty or forty years ago
and the report that she is to return to
the land of her birth this summer will
tend to arouse much interest in this
strange woman who was one of the first
of the American prlncesSes.
When Emma Arnold kissed Lieut.. Hob
son she set a fashion that has been fol-
lowed by many women since last summer
but her method of reWarding herOism,
original as it may nave seemed was not
original. Years ago President Lincoln
was "Hobsonized' and it was the Prin-
cess Salm-Salm who invented this meth
cd of showing popular appreciation of a
great man.
At this time the princess vas one of
the most beautiful women in Washing
ton, and in spite of the mystery With
which she clOaked her identity she was
one of the leading spirits in society at
the capital. One evening she mad a
wager with an officer of the army that
she would kiss the president before a

FOUND IN THE FROZEN NORTH.

a North Dakota man who is now in
Alaska says that red currants, raspber-
ries, moss-berries, cranberries and huck-
leberries grow there in abundance, and
the mo~ss-cOvered mountains are covered
with fruit in the summer. 1t is the land
of flowers. Trout. salmon and white
fish are in all the lakes and streams, and
are easily caught. Bear, moose, caribou
and goats are there in plenty, but they
have been hunted a good deal, and this
has driven them back into the noun
tains.
WE have a small bird here he says,
"called the mosquito. They are the size
of humming-birds, and have bills on
them the size of grandpa's walking
stick. Whenever you pitch camp, one Of
them comes in and informs you that he

where it was said that she had run away
from the restraints of home to join a cir

compartment of gauzy dresses and tinsel

her attention to tight rope walking and
in 1888 she was at the height of her fame
as one Of the most daring performers.

Washington where she soon command

encouragement of bull fighting and has
often been instrumental in securing the
pardon of persons wrongly convicted or
too severely punished.
Mrs. Diaz is now a little more than
thirty years of age. President Dia is

her Sirlish grace and simplicity of man

years have not taken away any of the
graces which are hers by heritage. Her
ancestry dates far back into the nobility

culture are marked by all who meet her.
In fact she stands as a type of advanced

advice is often eagerly sought by her

The Woman Who

AND THE POEM HE IS RELIEVED TO HAVE WRITTEN AFTER THE
HAPPY EVENT.

able woman and the story of her life, or
so much of it as is known, reads more
like fiction than like fact. She first
appeared in Washington as Agnes La
clerg and While she frankly admitted
that this was an assume name this did
not prevent her from becoming the idol
of society. She was bright and witty,
quick at repartee.
She was the mistress of several foreign
languages and was possessed of all the
graces and accomplishments that wealth
and culture could bestow upon a young
woman; but beyond this she was more
beautiful than all the beautiful women
who filled Washington at this time, and
these attractions soon won for her the
hearts of half the men and the hatred
and ill-Will of all the women.
Who she. was nobody knew. She has
since proved that she was born in YER
mont of good Plymouth stock, her ances-
tors having come over with Governor
Winthrop in 1880. They afterwards
fought in the Revolutionary war and

CORNERING THE EGG MARKET IN
SKAGWAY.

A shrewd dealer bought up all the eggs
In Skagway recently, and thus cornered
the market, the merchants having sold
their entire stocks to him under the false
impression that a carload of eggs was
coming in from the more southern mar
kets, and that, in ~onsequenc eggs
would go down. The XXI day the inhab-
itants of Skagway had no eggs, and there
ensued a scramble that at once advanced
the price four cents a dozen. The man
who cornered the market got his supply
for 26 and % cents a dozen, and sold
them for 80, 80. and as high as 60 cents a
dozen.

London Weekly Telegraph: A few days

asked the man the following question::

Identification badges with numbers on

such strong objection to the unlucky
number that Lieutenant Afford ex-
changed with him, and the lieutenant had

self The headmen generally followed an example so excellent; and in the end the whole burden was borne by the bowed backs of the peasants and villages. But the Sultans' serah was not the only tax of the kind which the peasants were called upon to pay. Fash Of the great barons and every one of the minor chiefs, frequently sent some small gift, such as handful of tobacco or palm-leaf sack of salt, to
 some individual in the territory, and
 asked for ten, twenty, thirty or forty
 dollars in exchange. The person to
 whom this expensive and embarrassing
 present was sent had no alternative
 but to accept it with effusion and alac-
 rity lest some worse thing should befall
 him. In addition to the taxes which I
 have named, there were the import and
 export duties. The Sultan levied a tax of 10 per cent. in money or in kind
 upon all the things which entered his
 State. Many articles necessary to the natives were royal monopolies, and and were sold to the people at fancy prices. or these, salt, tobacco, and kerosene oil were those which most irked the Kings subjects
 Below the villagers were the slave debtors. These people were free vil- lagers, or the descendants of free vil- lagers, who had borrowed a little ready money from the wealthier neigh Dor, and had pledged themselves, their children and all who might come after them as serurty for the loan. They usually owned land and other prop erty, and were treated by their fellows as though they were still free But they were bound to render gratuitous service to their creditor whenever they are called upon to do so, and until the amount of the original debt was dis charged in full they contiued to incur this liability, years of patient labor having no power to reduce the sum of their indebtedness. Real slavery, how ever, did exist in the Malay Peninsula, the practice of making slaves of for eigners who had been purchased or captured in the war, having been in troduced by the Arabs.
 These unhappy people who usually occupied the position of slaves of the Maays were generally either negroes, who had been purchased in Arabia by those who had the pilgrimage to the Holy City, or else were members of the aboriginal tribes of the peninsula, the Sakai, or the Semang. who had been captured in some raid Slaves thus won by war or purchase were regarded by the Malays as the merest chattels | A man who slew one of them was only liable to pay the value of the mur- dered ran to the owner.-Singapore | Free Press.
