of patriotic enthusiasm in 1896 in all
portions Of the Kingdom. The site is.
well chosen, seeing that the monument
occupies the spot where Arpad slew
Swatopluk, the Slavic chieftain, on his:
Invasion Of the Hungary Of to-day. y i
was mainly due to the exertions Of the
famous Magyar romancer, Jokai, that
the collection for the monument was
started. This bird, fable has it, has

IT'S AGE RESPECTED.
Here Is q Picture and Description OF
the Oldest Hearse OF Which
There Is q Record.

This is the Oldest hearse in the world.
In it were taken to their last resting
place the mother, sister and brother Of
the poet Robert Burns, who died at
their tree empowered retreat at Grout's
Bries.
The cottage where Gilbert Burns and
his mother spent the last years of their
lives is gone, but the old hearse, as in
their day, occupies roomy shed in the
.'lsirk-town" of Tar bolton, East Lothian
parish, Scotland The body of the vehi-
Gle is suspended by leather straps to
large upright supports and is free to
oscillate from end to end or side to side.
The panels around the sides are adorned
with sand glasses and skulls and the

can select his own successor. Last July,
when Grand Duke George died, the car
at once named the youngest brother,
owitz, the heir is sometimes erroneous
~ called, for ''czarowitz'' means only
"son of the ear" and it does not fol-
low in theory. as it has not followed
in practice, that: the czarowitz sue.
ceeds to the throne. Grand Duke
Michael is 81 years Of agA a typical
Russian in appearance and aentiment.
His brothers were slight in stature and
delicate in physique; he is more rugged,
more of his fathers type, and he is said
to be as resolute in will as he is firm
of hand. He is strongly imbued with
the national spirit, and realizes fully
the tremendous power of his race. He
sees the possibilities of world empire"
that dream which has haunted rulers
for centuries; which beguiled Cyrus
and eluded Alexander and beckoned
Napoleon. He$appreciates the advan-
tage which his government has won
in the Transsiberian railway and the
commanding position taken in China
and further Asia generally. And while
no ruler ever had more loyal subjects
and advisers than has the present car,
at the same time the national spirit
of the Muscovite would respond to the
lead of q more radical lord with such
enthusiasm as the gentler sway of
Nicholas II. has not been able to sum
mon. Of course the present car has
children. There have been three babes
born to him since he married Princess
Alix of Hesse;s5 but all are girls. And
it is in accordance with Russia's law
that the brothers of the car succeed
to the throne in preference to the
daughters of the car. According to
the ukase of Emperor Paul, the daugh-
ters of the car do not succeed until
after failure of brothers and sisters
and sons or daughters Of brothers and
sisters.

Genius ana Insanity.

There is some relation between ex-
strao rdinary activity OF mind and insan-
ity: Geniuses are apt to exhibit symp-
toms of mental alienation, and, singu-
lar to relate, their children are usually
inferior 70 those Of average men. For
instance, Cromwell was hypochon-
driac, md had visions; Dean Swift I'M
herited insanity, and was himself not
s. little mad; Shelly was called BY his
friends Mad Shelly; " Charles Lamb
went crazy; Johnson was another hy-
pochondriac; Co,eridge was morbid
maniac: Milton was Of morbid turn
of mind, nearly approaching insanity

formed on the description evolved by

which he INDUCES.
He remarked to q London Daily Mail
reporter:
IF my father had known the size of
Great Queens land he would not have
fought. He thought England a little
floating island..''
The question as to whether the kings
advisers had not given him some idea
Of the vastness of England and the
British population made Prince Lob BEN
gula's eyes travel, with another flash
of white teeth, toward the ceiling.

wouldn't believe it. When arrived in
England, my first thought was that the
whole world was full of white men, and
that they had all come to London to
meet me. M
''When I got used to hespeople, the
chief thing that bothered me was the
houses. They were so black and SO
high. We build better in my country,
close to the ground, SO that if a hut fall
it hasn't far to go. y35
In my oWns country y was one day
the king s favorite son, and the next a
common 'colored man, logged by the.
Transvaal government for walking on
a sidewalk in Pretoria without having
first asked permission
The words were uttered in soft,
liquid voice, and accompanied by a
smile, showing two rows of white teeth
which even,a prince might envy.
My own country is good, but in the
land of the umlunga (white man) am
quite jabula" (happy).
Again q smile, and again CLEAN Of
dazzling teeth, and there remained on
the expressive face of Prince Lobengula
a look which might have been eithera
smould ering of resentful bitterness or
a philosophical and half-primitive con-
tentment. }s III d.

LOBE GJJLA'S VIE VS..
Matabele Chief, Now in London
Says He Is Happy.


~ fa
The announcement that Miss Flor
ence X. Jewel, a pretty and rich young
English girl, has consented to marry
Prince Lobengula, the South African
Schieftain, becomes more astonishing
when the personal appearance Of the
amiable savage is considered. The
picture shows him in court costume, as
he is now appearing at the savage
South African exhibit lion in London. It
is possible that she fell in love with
his smile and made up her mind that
SO happy q man must make a good
husband. In justice to the prince it
should be said, however, that hesis not
as sayagesas he looks. Hespeaks both
glish and Dutch huently and is said
to be fairly we'll educated. His claim to
royal blood is, however, disputed.

that London is destined beyond all
question of doubt to become vast city
buried in the bowels Of the earth, for
want Of space foreman above ground.
!. The prince talks graceful y and fas-
einatingly, whether on the subject Of
his own country and the present
strained outlook Of affairs in South
Africa or some aspect of the great
white man at home which has occurred
to him.
His quaint English, picked up before
his fathers downfall, is dignifed and
elegant, while his air is a mixture Of
slordly magnifcence and childish sim
plicity that is full Of charm.
He displays in his dress an almost
inordinate love for jewelry, a trait
which since the arrival Of the Matabele
nobleman in London several women
have discovered and encouraged by
presents, which he proudly crowds

Minnesota NEWS.
Crop Report.

2. s. Department Of Agriculture
Climate and Crop Bulletin Of the
Weather Bureau Minnesota section:
Wheat and oat harvest is general in
all parts of the state south of the Red
river valley except in small area
from Washington to Chisago counties
west to Kandiyohi and Renville coun-
ties, and from Nicollet and Steele
counties north to Wright and Anoka
counties, where harvest is practically
finished. South of the Minnesota
river the rains have delayed harvest
seriously some places making the
felds SO soft that the binders could
not work. From all directions come
reports that the wheat stems are very
tender and that they are drinking
down; for this reason a great deal Of
wheat has been cut green; where the
rains were heavy much wheat and oats
are SO badly down and tangled that
great labor is necessary to gather the
crop, but it is said that the binders
gather all Of the grain and that the
heads are generally we'll filled. Bar
ley is a good crop, though the grain is
discolored; most Of it is in stack.
