Some Hotel Figures.

Statistics are not very entertaining
but there are some stories of hotels
that they alone can tell. and that OF
the supplies is one of them. For In
stance. during the year 1900, one of
those big hotels spent for meats, $780,
600; for poultry, $4,000; for vegeta-
bles, $4,000; for fruit, $4,000; for
eggs. $4,000; for butter, $4,000, and
for the flowers used in decorations
and there are flowers on the tables
every ay-s30,000. The initial invest
ment in silverware was s250.000, and
with losses that charitably are cred
tied to the souvenir craze, and the gen.
eral wear and tear on table service,
about $4,000 year is spent in keep
ing this supply up to the hotels stand

Progress In ocenn Travel.

In 1910 the Cunard steamship Brit
annia, built of wood, propelled by pad
die wheels, maintained a sea speed of
about SHs knots. Her steam pressure
was IL pounds per inch. She was 207
feet long, about 1000 tons displace-
ment, her engines developed about
750-horse power. and her coal con-
sumption was about 40 tons a day, or
about five pounds of coal per indicated
horse power per day. She carried a
full spread of sail. In sixty years
speed has been increased from 81
knots to twenty-three knots; the time
on the voyage has been reduced to
about one-third of what K was in 1s4o.

1t was by no means weak. NJ. Verne
recently distinguished himself by de-
clining seat in the French Academy
for the second time. He began his lit
erary career as dramatist and for
thirteen years labored successfully in
that field as a writer of comedies. 1t
was not until 1868 that he published
the first of the stories upon which his
fame was to rest. This was Eve
Weeks in a Balloon" Its immediate
and rebounding success induced M.
Verne to continue to exploit himself
in this direction and the result was
that widely read series of romaDces
which have delighted the world, young
and old, for thirty years or more. M.
Verne's chief amusement since his
youth has been yachting. He owns
fine steam yacht and his happiest days
have been those spent on its decks.

Friederichshof Is Hers.

Friederichshof, at Cronberg. the pal
ace wherein-the late Dowager Empress
Frederick died, is one of the most
beautiful country seats possessed by
the royalty of Europe. 1t is natural,
therefore, that envious eyes should be
now cast at Princess Frederick Carl of
Hesse because. by the Will of her de-
ceased mother. she comes into posses
sion OF this estate. II is a spacious and
sumptuously furnished palace, sur
rounded by a magnificent park, set in
some of the most romantic country
scenery in Germany. Upward of 81 ,000,
600 was spent by its recent occupant in
improving house and grounds. The
young princess who is soon to occupy
it is one of the sweetost-faced members
of German royalty. She is the fifth and
youngest child of the late Empress
Dowager, and was the fayorite during
the last few years of her life. She was
born April %. 1872, and was named
Margarethe. Her marriage to Prince
Frederick Carl OF Hesse occurred in
January, 1893, and she has three sons.

cast an inspecting glance along the

the stranger had been stealing a ride,

in spite of the unattractive appearance
Of aSe man there was something un-
usuall In his appearance that would
cause anyone to look at him second
time. The skin had the pink tint and
smoothness of youth, yet the hair
above the face was as white as winter

turned quickly as II about to move

traveller and explorer. who has been
spending the last five years in the hith-
erto unknown regions of northwestern
Mexico, in the interests of the Ameri-

appearance recently in public since his
return to civilization, lecturing before
the Geographical Society of Christiana.
The lecture bristled with incidents of
the life and travels among the wild In
dian tribes of western Sierra Madre,
especially among the cave dwellers,
who still live in the same primitive way
as their forefathers many thousands OF
years ago in these almost inaccessible
| regions 5000 feet above the sea. In or
der to study these people DR.. LumpoltZ

| live alone among them. At first the
tribes resisted but eventually he gained
| cheir confidence and was allowed to re-
main. He learned their ways, their
language and their songs and joined in
| their dances.
| The Mexican Indians are monoga-
mists and lead on the whole very
happy existence. Among many of the
tribes he found higher degree of NOR

ture,
Up through the long, shady lane.
Where the quail whistle loud in the wheat
fields
That yellow with the ripening grain
They find in the thick, waving grasses
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry
grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the rose
They toss the hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder bloom white:
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest
And are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit hangs the
thickest
On the thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds
And build tiny castles of sand:
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land:
They wave from the tall. rocking tree
tops,
Where the ORIOLES hammock nest
swings,
And at night time are folded in slumber
BY song that u fond mother sings.
To those who toll bravely are strongest:
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.

The noble and wife of the land
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hands.

THE MANCHURIAN MATTER.
Russia's Expressed Determination
in Regard to Manchuria Gives
Satisfaction at Washington.

Washington, April THE determ-
nation of the Russian government not
to press to conclusion the negotia-
tions begun some time ago with the
Chinese government in regard to Man
chufia. has naturally given great graf
ification to the government of the
United States. The president is under
stood to recognize in this act of the
czar another proof of his sincere re-
gard for the harmony with the pow
ers now engaged in negotiations in
China, and his determination to do
nothing to impede the speedy and sat
isfactory conclusion of these negotia-
tions. In this view it is an act worthy
of the enlightened sovereign who ini-
tiated the conference at The Hague.
The government of the United States
is especially gratifed by this termina-
tion of the late complication, as it
has constantly been in harmony with
that of Russia in all the mann points
of our policy in China. 1t is the be-
lief generally entertained in govern
ment circles in Washington that no
motive can be assigned for this res
olution, except the desire to preserve
the concert of the powers, as it was
clearly within the discretion of Rus
sia to pursue whatever course that
government thought best for it's in
terest, and it may be said with abso-
lutte certainty that nothing in the way
of pressure or mbination has been
made upon the Russian government
to induce this result. 1t is true the
government of the United States on
the first of March, made known its
views of the matter, and commune
Gated them with entire franlzness to
all the powers interested, but no joint
representation, it may safely be as
serted, has ever been made to Russio
or to China.

DISCUSSION SUPPRESSED.
The Havana Discussion Suppressed
for Publishing a Highly Ofen-
siye Illustration.

Havana, April THE Discussion has
been suppressed by order of Gov.-
Gen. Wood, and its Offices have been
closed and sealed. This action was
due to the publication in the Discus
sion, Friday, of an illustration having
the title of '.The Cuban Calvary" rep
resenting the Cuban public personi-
fed in a*Uuban soldier being crucifed
between two thieves, Gen. Wood be-
ing,represented as one thief and Pres
ident Mckinley as the other, 10th be-
ing labelled withzStheir names. Sem
ator Platt was represented as Ro-
man soldier giving vinegar and gall
in the form OF the Platt amendment,
while public opinion, as Mary Magda-
lene, was weelng at the foot of the
cross. Below was the following in
scription:
DESTINY will not reserve for us
glorious resurnction?"
The picture caused much unfavor-
able comment from the standpoint OF
| decency. The EDITOR of the paper. Sc
nor Corando, was arrested, but was
relased on bail 1t is probable that
no other action will be taken against
the Discussion than suppressing its
publication forseveral days.
Later-Senor Capote, president OF
the Cuban constitutional convention,
has visited Gen. Wood and told the
latter that the convention, individual
ly, and as body, regretted the publ
cation of this caricature. Senior Ca
pote said the picture misrepresented
the feelings of the Cubans, who held
Gen. Wood and President Mckinley
in the greatest respect and were deep
ly grateful to them. On his solicita-
ton Gen. Wood allowed the Discus
sion to continue publication, but the
judges of the correctional court will
prefer charges, the characterof which
is to be determined later, against

King Edward's PerHuisites.

A king has many privileges, but the
oldest of all King Edwards is surely
the right he has by statute to the head
of every whale caught on the coasts of
his kingdom. The tail is to go to
Queen Alexandra, the object of the di-
vision being to guarantee that the
queens wardrobe shall be furnished
with whalebone. King Edward is not
likely to receive many whales, how
ever long he may reign, but there are
many perquisites of the crown which
are not so rare as whales in England.
The king is entitled for instance, to
every sturgeon brought to land in the
United Kingdom; one of them, caught
in the Thames, was on the table at
Queen Victoria's wedding banquet.
The king should receive, too, every
year from divers persons, a tablecloth
worth three shillings, two white doves,
two white hares, a catapult, pound
of cuminseed, a horse and halter,
pair of scarlet hose, a currycomb, a
pair of tongs, crossbar, a coat of
gray, a nightcap, falcon, two knives,
lance worth two shillings and sill
YER needle from his tailor.-St. James
