1t Is a striking fact that there is not
a reigning sovereign in Europe whose
family is of the nation over which he
rules. The house of Austria is in real
ity the house of Lorraine, the Haps-
burgs being of Swiss origin. The
King OF Belgium is Saxe-Cobur-
HoIsteiner. The young King of
Spain is an Austro-B Bourbon. The
King of Italy is a Savoyard. The
founder of the Bernadotte dynasty in
Sweden was a country attorney at Pau,
less than a century and a quarter ago,
and the King OF the Hellenes is Hol
steiner. The British royal family are
Hanoverian, and the Hohenzolerns
were originally Suabians. being there
fore partly Bavarians and partly Swiss.

MACHINIsTs' STRIKE ENDED

From the Chicago Trfbuae.
 The agreement entered into by the Cc.'i- cago machinists and their employers is a compromise, whereby the latter concede none of those demands made by the for mer which would, If yielded to, have de- prived them of the control of thccr owtl shops. The employees glin shorter hours and will get before long, in all probability, increased wages. The manufacturers are doing so well at this time that compliance with these demands can cause them no inconvenience. They agree also that they will not discriminate against union labor. They have not done so In the past. They agree also to recognize the union to tAe extent that differences arising between employer and employe which cannot De settled satisfactorily by them shall be re- ferred fer settlement to the national or gani2ations-the Metal Trades association and the International Association of Ma oAinists-to be settled promptly by them, and that TO strike CT lockout shall be called until the national associations have tried to settle the dispute by negotiation or arbitration. The walking delegate. of whom the manufacturers stand i1 great fear, gains nc.tztng by the agreement The worAmen ill eaoa shop will have their own committee and deal through it with their employer. No walking delegate will have authority to take matters into his own hands, run the shop, and act for the wcrknen This is a happy ending of what night have been a long-drawn-out and ugly contest, involving all the large cities of the county. If the machfnlsts do mot try soon to get more than they have just obtained, and if manufacturers live up to their part of the agreement loyally there is no reason why there should not be a lcng peace in the metal trades industry.

Total Eclipse in May.

Great interest is taken in the total eclipse that is to occur on the morning of May 2s. The center line of totality leaves the state at Girard beat in Russell county. after passing through Union Springs and near Butler. and also near Monroeville. having entered the state just north of Mobile eoun- ty. In totality in this country this eclipse is strictly southern, and the governments $ study Of it will be based on observations in southern territory. In general way It's path lies between Norfolk and New Or leans. After crossing the Atlantic it will be seen in Portugal and in Alglers, and of the Red sea. Its totalty will be limited to a single minute and a fraction
 Very few total eclipses have of late oc- cured in well settled districts, and the one of next month will be watched by many visitors. In 1867. 1878 and 1889 total eclipses were visible in the United States, but the paths of totality were in wild sparcely-set- tied districts. The convenience of it's path VIII ieau to a close study or II. PfOieSSOf Brown, of the Naval observatory, has al- ready established a station in Georgia and one in North Carolina. and almost every college Is preparing to send it's best instru- ments and competent observers to the path of totality. The path in Alabama Is ac- cessible by a network of railways, and no doubt many astronomical guns will be pointed towards the great conjunctival event. Congress has appropria ted 5000 for the expenses of expeditions in the line of totaity.
 Eastern Alabama is practically free from clouds in the last days of May, and no doubt many observers will seek positions in it. Professor Brown thinks there will be all told one hundred expeditions in the field, each well supplied with the best of instruments, both of observation and pho- tography, and perhaps 1000 amateurs will also be on hand. The government will use specially devised photographic instruments, some being of large size. The exact time of the eclipse at all points in the line of totality will soon be published by the gov ernment.

TIE NEW noER vONMANpER

H. c. Hillegas, in New York World. ?,
 Botha (pronounced Boat-a) is farmer, and modestly claims to know more about sheep-raising than he does about fighting. He is only 36 years of age and almost every year of that time he has spent in raising sheep and cattle on the large ranges of land in the Vryhed district of the Trans vaal.
 Like all Boers. he is democrat of dem- crats, and when he told me the story of the battle he was clothed in a suit of clothing that might have ibeen dear at s10 when he bought it. He wore no collar scarf, an old, stained. broad-brimmed hat surmount- ed his head. and the elbows of his coat were worn through. Apparently he left his fiocks of sheep. and. without changing flis clothing. went to the battlefield to assume command of his burghers.
 He did not seem to be proud of his vic tory, but spoke only of the bravery of the British soldiers and the injustice of the war which :. | slaughter necessary
 Botha ws sns .sI the junior officers un- der Genera. Lucas Meyer in the arduous campaigns against the natives about ten years ago, and then his name first came before the public. Afterward he became a member of the Nolksraad, and for sev- eral years was one of the progressive party who constantly su-ove to pacify tle uit- flanders of Johannesburg. Although he has been a prominent man in the nation for ten years, General Botha has never sat for a photograph. and the hero- worshipperS are discomfitted in consequence.

That Two-Million Ton Order.

Some coal men in New York who had studied the art of free advertising recently undertook to show that the rumored sale of two million tons of Alabama coal at New Orleans for export was too ridiculous for anything. The price named, s1.25 a ton. was, it must be admitted, rather low; but that price would not have been low before 1899 If we had had s'ackwater navie l. tion in the Warrior.
 When the government in its leisurely way outside of Pennsylvania has provided six feet of water all the year round from the heart of this district to the sea. the price of common bunker coal need not exceed $l.25 ton at Mobile or Pensacola. That price would afford 75 cents at the mouth of the mine, cents in transportation to the barge, 9 cents in barge rates, and 20 cents for profits generally. In times of keen competition even dollar coal at Mobile would be possible, The New York coal wits are invited to contemplate these figures and, if they like. to add comment to them. They cannot upset them, or successfully gainsay them.
 At present, of course, coal is coal at the mouth of the mines, and the government is podding along in the construction of dams and locks in the Warrior river. The figures named are out of reach at present, but the day is coming when Baltimore and other eastern cities will have all the com petition they desire in the coal trade at gulf ports. Every gulf port is interested in the opening of the Warrior, because ballast as well as fuel can in that way be supplied to cotton carrying ships. The entire south should aid Alabama in securing an early opening of the Warrior.

UNCLE BILLS HAILsTONE STORY

From the New Orleans Times1Democrat.
 'sThat haistorm the other day reminds me of an old countryman I used to know when l was living in south Georg.a,' re- marked college professor, apropos of sudden changes in the weather. "Ha was in at least one respect a very remarkable character. To a casual listener he appeared when you came to scrutinize any of his statements closely it was impossible to catch him in the slightest deviation from the truth. One day in early spring we had an unusually severe fall of hall, and next morning, wkale driving down the road with a friend, we happened to encounter the old fellow at his gate. Well, Uncle Bob, l said, that was a pretty tad hail storm we had yesterday T should say it was,' he replied; you jest oughter seed some of the stones that come down in my back yard How big were aheyr 1 asked. Bout as big as small watermelons,' said he Well we've caught him in a w'hopper at last chuckled my friend, as We drove on. No, We haven't, I grcaned As usual, the old rascal has secured all the advantage of a fine, large lie and at the same time has adhered rgidly to the truth. Look at tt.at vine.' An early Wa termeicn vine was festooning the bottom rail of fence by the roadsidef and hora and there it was studded with minute green spheres about the size of goose berries My friend made no comment. never tried to catch Uncle Bob again

SORROW AND JOY
.ichard Henry Stoddard.

Richard Henry Stoddard. Tell me what is sorrow? It is a garden bed, And what is joy? It is a little rose Which in that garden grows. I plucked it in my youth so royal red, To weave it in a. garland for my head; It pricked my hand, let it drop again, And now look and long for it in vain. Tell me what is sorrow? It is an endless
 sea. And what is joy? II is a little pearl, Round which the waters wtairl I divad deep down, they gave it up to me To keep it where my costly jewels be: It daZZled me. l let it fall again. And now look and long for it in vain Teli me what is sorrow? It is a gloomy
 >cage
 And what is joy? It is little bird, Whose song therein is heard Opening the door, for l was never sage I took it from its perch; with sudden rage It bit me-bit. I let 1t go again. And now look and long for it iI vain. Tell me where my sorrow shall ended, end
 ed be.
 And when returned the joy that long since
 fled.
 Not till the garden bed Restores the rose; not till the endless sea Restores the pearl; not ill the gloomy cage Restores the bird; not, poor. old man., till
 age,
 Which sorrow is itself, is youth again. And so look and long for it in vain.

No Lawyers at f'aaG.

Over in Georgia, that ancient land, there is county called Eehols and in that county there is not today, and long has not been, a single lawyer. The county has never had county court, because 1t had no lawyer who could be appointed to a county judgeship, and when the superior court sits in the county it's judge simply calls the court to order in order to adjourn it for the term. There is no crime, and mo civil litigation. Whether this condition is in part due to the fact that there are no lawyers in the country, or whether it is a condition precedent, is not known. All that is known is that in the happy land of Echols there are no Mtigants, no crime, mo lawyers.
 These facts were made public through the recent petition of a grand jury in Ech- hls county asking Governor Candler to es- tablSh a county court, by appointing a couny judge and solicitor. A lawyer in the adjoining county of Lowndes is willing 10 act as solicitor of the proposed county court, but no lawyer has yet been found who is willing to preside over it as judge. But the question arises, how is business to be furnished for Q county court If the superior court can find none in the favored and happy county? The need of a county court is not apparent, but it is plain that ErhoIs has its proportion of politicians even if it has no crime to engage the at. fention of court. These politicians say there should be a county court, btsines. or no business. because. you know, tat constitution of the state says so and SO A politician Who lets an opportunity gc

SNAP FOR CONC FRESHMAN

From the Washington Post.
 The salary of a congressman is s500o year. There are many ways in which this sum can be increased.
 In the first place, there is an allowance of $125 for stationery, wldch can be com muted and taken out in cash. Many con- gressmen do this. They forage for letter paper and envelopes in the committee rooms, or buy the cheapest paper in the department stores. Other members sell their quota of garden seeds, while still others make it a practice of disposing of their public documents. Another source cf revenue is the $1eO month wk.ch the government allows to each congressman for clerk hire. In very few instances does this money go outside of the congress- mans family. No receipt is given except Joy the member himself, and he can, put the amount in his pocket or give 1t Do his wife or daughter for pin money. If public record had to be made of the person to whom the money is paid the practice of keeping it in the family would n5t be so common although MT. Reed, wh@5 speak CT, was coura geous enough to Tttn over to his daughter the money appIiopria ted to pay a clerk of the committee dn rules. and her name appeared as k. Kead on every monthly pay-roll. The eoeaker never made any concellment of the fact.
 It is estiuna ted that a thrifty .5ongress- ntan can add from S1, ,000 to S1,500 al year to his regular salary, and there are ml llny who do not lose the opportunity to do so.

TEN HEALTH COMMANDMENTS

The following ten rules are being quoted by English medical journals:
 1. Don't leave your rooms in the morn ing with an empty stomach.
 2 Never expose yourself to cold air i'm mediately after you have partaken of a warm liquid of any kind.
 3. Don't leave your abode in cold weather without warm wraps around your shoulders and breast.
 4. Begin respiration in the cold by breath ing through the nose. This will give the air a chance to~get warm before reach- ing the lungs.
 5. Never place your back near heated oven nor against a wall, warm or cold.
 6. Don't stand before an open window in a railway carriage, nor take a drive in an open carriage, after violent physical ex- ercise. -
 '. Don't remain mot.onless in a cold room and do not stand in an open space, on ice or snow.
 8. Talk only Nr.en you must, for the o,d phrase Speech is silver, silence is gold, D holds good even in hygiene.
 g. Don't put off your regular bath When the skin is not kept fresh and set, the cold draws the pores together and you are rendered susceptible 10 pulmonary trou- bles of all kinds.

THE ONLY DAily NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
The AQe-Herald Leads.

Printers Ink, the well-known advertis- ing journal of New York, which Is ac- cep.ed as the standard for this country in an editorial article on Sunday News papers," in it's issue of March 2Sth, has the following in regard to Alabama news papers:
 "In Atabdmd the Birmingham Age Berdld IS entitled to first consideration from its accepted actual issue of 6,SS4 m 1899, phae the Mobile Register and Montgomery Advertiser, both reliable substantial mediums, acith strong pro- penSity for cldiming more and c some arhat persistent reputation for aUithhold- : ing definite information, are rated, the former soith dn estimated issue in excess of 2,25O copies, and the latter in excess of 4,00O. The Advertiser in 1894 sho,oed e smallest issue of 5,7O0 aud the Register tn 1887 had duly dUerage of 4,G77. There ds nothing later in detuiI rom either odper. The Directory re- ports seem to indicate that the output of the Register and 4ddDertiser combined naay not now erceed that Of the Age Heraid.' '
 The Age-Herald does not, as a rule in- dulge in blowing" and boasting of its cir cula ton. It is striving for a daily circula- ton of 25,0O0, and when this point is reached, which should be within the next twelve months, then The Age-Herald will be at liberty to feel proud of itself. In the meantime, it is gratifying to The Age Herald to make acknowledgement of the above purely voluntary statement on the part Of Printers Ink.

Advancing Toward Pretoria.

The trap set at the Spruit may be re- peated in attempt at least before Pretoria is reached. Men hidden behind rocks in narrow defiies can do great damage without mourning any risk themselves. It seems impossible to teach the present lot of Eng fish officers the wisdom of scouting They do not seem to desire to know what is ahead This phase of the case is probably incurable during the present war Officers of the British army are now selected from a small class, and naturally many Methuens reach ny favoritism high commands. As soon as the war is oyer it is proposed to reorganize the army so that officers will be selected from the forty millions of British people instead of from the "40O' of that country. When that is done there win be hope that men will be found who will keep out Of traps.
 The road to Pretoria is beset with difficult ties. The advancing force is now near the Modder river, the railroad bridge over which has been destroyed. There are five other bridges of good length on the line to kroonstadt, or rather there were, and these bridges, together with many culverts, must be reconstructed as the army advances. Whether a strong entrenched line will be found before Kroonstadt is reached is doubtful, but one will certainly be en- countered there, and sdH another at the Vaal river, wide, deep river thirty mics beyond Krconstadt. The successful cross ing of the Vaal river will practically end the war for Lord Roberts great force will then be near Johannesburg, and Pretoria is but a days march away. The remaining battles must therefore be fought near Kroomstadt and at the Vaal river.
 A march of 26O miles by an army 10O, 900 strong is no light task. There are kopjes all along the route and there will be at tempts of the Spruit type again and again, but none of them will stay the irresistible march of the British force A greater or more difficult march has rarely been under taken in the worlds history, and all expect from General Botha, the sheep raiser, many surprises. He is considered resourceful commander. His age is thirty-six, and he is a man of vigor and iron constitution. How long he can delay the arrival of the British at Pretoria is all there is left to consider, for no military critic would un- and Kitchener can be stayed altogether.
