Primer, Never Bathed.

In earlier days princes were consid-
cred so precious that they were not
permitted the ordinary pleasures of
childhood. So fearful were their
guardians that something harmful
would happen to them that the poor
little folk were not even given a bath
until they were several years old. In a
quaint sketch of the childhood OF Louis
Kill. of France, his tutor writes, un-
der the date of August, 1908: THE

sister, aged six. with him. The dau-
phin was seven years old at the time"
In his fourth year he had his feet
washed with damp cloth; when he
was six they washed his feet In tepid
water In the queens basin for the first
time"
Royal children of today are bathed
as much as II they were only ordinary
well-to do young folk. and their royal
fathers and mothers make them work
harder at their studies than children
usually have to. II is also quite the
thing for princes or princesses to learn

AFRICAN SLAv TRADE.
Capture of Negroes In 1845 by an
American Ships Crew.

Capture of Negroes In 1845 by an
American Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which We have a
definite record, tells us somewhat of
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt Smith, went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
slaves. Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast of Guinea" for slaves She found
some London slave vessels already
there. with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,
that is. and to liven matters little,
the Yankees and the Londoners united,
and "on pretense of some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer'-the
expressive name of small cannon--at-
tackled a negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many of the inhabitants and made
few prisoners, two of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twentysiX years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia. as recorded by John Rolfe, the
first American sQuaw man. False pre-
tense. outrage and slaughter OF inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share Of the plunder. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
of the voyage resulted in a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although 1t was not Grim
inal trial, one of the magistrates
Charged the master with threefold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction over crimes committed In
Africa Ia decision that was typical OF
what was to Gomez. but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John r. Spears

w. ID. Oldham Was IA Conspicuous Fig
ure Mt Kansas City.
One of the most conspicuous of the
western politicians at the Kansas City
convention was w. ID. Oldham of Ne
braska. He has long been recognized
as one Of the best political speakers in
the west. He has twice before been
member of the national delegation.
Four years ago he belonged to the CON
testing delegation from that state,
which was shut out of The Chicago
convention at the beginning. AS he
expressed II in n recent speech before
the state convention. they went to Chi
cago without tickets, crawled under
the canvas In momentary fear that
some chap would apply a neckyoke to
the back OF their ears but when they
finally got inside they captured the
whole show. Oldham has the reputa-
ton OF being one of the homellest
men In the state. and he Is proud of It,
He is very careless In his dress and
has been yariously taken for a cowboy
and n farmer Oldham's oratory is OF
the evangelistic order He has a com
mand OF homely phrase perfervid ex-
hortation and broad wit that has made
him popular favorite at every state
convention, and no gathering OF that
sort takes place without a speech from
"Bill' Oldham. He is tall and heavily
built, and has all the "eormarks" OF
the typical cowboy of the west in the
matter OF dress.

Eggs without Shells.

In the report of the trade OF Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899. by Sir
George Bonham. secretary to her ma
jesty's embassy at Rome. there is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation OF
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed. and the Interior OF the
egg-white and yolk together-is pack
ed In air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each 1000 eggs. Great care is
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh,
and to exclude the air. as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder, and renders
the consignment unsuitable. The new
system has the advantage OF removing
the risk OF breakage. and is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. As to the ex-
tent OF the trade In eggs, the report
mentions that In 1897 Russia exported
to England over 8b4. .000. .000.-

PORTO RICO'S POPULATION.
Island Has :8t Persons to the Square
Mile


The results of the Porto Rican cen
sus, taken in October last, show that
the island has 953 ,243 Inhabitants.
With "a population of 264 to the square
mile, Porto Rico is the only densely
peopled part of our new possessions.
There are good reasons why Porto
Rico should have far larger popula-
tion. in proportion to area. than Cuba.
The island was always the favored
colony of the Spanish. For over two
centuries Spain invited colonization.
Lands were allotted gratis. while they
lasted and settlers were exempt from
direct taxation. The interior, though
very hilIy. is well adapted for small
farming. Most of the land is owned
by the peasantry In small holdings
fruit farms predominating. though
there are many small coffee estates as
well as large and small farms raising
sugar, tobacco and cattle. This is
the reason why four-hfths of the popu
lation is scattered through the rural
districts, and only one-fifth live in
the towns. Porto Rico is notably a
country of small farmers. The island
is still growing in population. Since
1887, the density has increased from
220 to 264 to the square mile. With
good government, more schools, and
larger commercial opportunities, there
need be no pause In the development
OF Porto Rico. But not n few observ-
ers believe the island has population
enough. There is little prospect that
an Increase in density would be advan
tageous
