Religion. and that paganism, consti-
tuted the stepping-stone Of the Ro-
Manoffs. The Russian imperial family
is descended from a heather freebooter
"a fact which contrasts curiously with
the Cars title as defender of ortho-
doxy." In the fourteenth century the
Christian knights Of Lithuania rose
against a lordling called kobyla and
for his worship of the sun drove him
out of his domain. Kobyla fled to Rus
sia, where he was received by Car
Ivan | of the ruling house of Moscow.
Though he had suffered exile for his
pagan faith Kobyla was persuaded to
accept Christianity by Ivan and bap-
tized by the name of Andrew.
Serving as soldier he won honor and
position and established himself among
the mobiles of Muscovy. Ivan " mar
ried a granddaughter Of this eXiled
chieftain and successful adventurer
whose family was thus allied to the
royal house. In 1898 Ivan " died and
with him his line. AS his successor he
nominated his cousin, Theodore Ro-
manoff, the greatgrandson of the ad-
venturer Kobyla. Then began a strug-
BILE between the various claimants for
the Russian throne. The invasion Of
Poles, Swedes and Tartars, carrying
sword and fire into the distracted
realm. gave the Romanoffs their oppor-
tunity. Freeing Russia of these enc
mics, they established themselves on
the throne of the country which their
ancestor had entered as an outcast
century or so before.

The tbject Difference Shown Them
by Civilians IL Amazing.
The respect and Difference shown to
the German army officer on duty and

full to see, according to a London writer.

ton, on entering the dining room bow to

knowledges the obeisance only with a
rigid glare of naughty Indifference,
though he is politely conscious of the

al or to resent being contemptuously
ignored by him, but recognizes him
and looks up to him as a superior men,
ber of a superior race and continues to
make his obeisances, however loftily
they are ignored.
But. while an officer is unable to see
the civilian at whom he is looking point
blank, he never misses observing the
entrance acknowledging the salute Of
another of his own race. He rises from
his seat and stands stiff and erect while
the newcomer advances and exchanges
formal bows and greetings, and as he

They were tremendous ceremonies in
eating and drinking, too, especially in

glasses invariably together, as if at the

apparently from the senior present.
Having seized their glasses together
and raised them together and simul-
taneously drunk, they would sumultan-
eously finish and then, boiling their
glasses before them, would with great
ceremony bow to one another before
replacing them on the table. 1t did not

MANILA'S NOTED CHINAMAN.
Don Carlos PaIanca, Who Died Since
the American Occupnncy

4
the American Occupnncy.
Probably no funeral cortege has ever
been seen in Manila with more of pomp
and circumstance with more gorgeous
trappings of woe, with more semi
barbaric display than that of the
ChriStaniZed Chinese. Don Carlos Pal
anca. and Of his WIFE Palanca-Tan
Cheucc-died on September 3. 1901. and
his wife on January s. 1898. Since their
decease their bodies have been lying
in the receiving vault ut the cemetery,
awaiting transportation to China.
On last Saturday. Chen Kang, son Of
the deceased. having completed his ar
engagements started with them on their
last voyage. In the funeral procession
there were two American military
bands. two Filipino military bands. and
one native orchestra. AS they march,
ed. perforce, close together, and play
ed without reference to the other
bands. the ensemble was not entirely
pleasing to the Occidental ear.
There was n multitude of gorgeous
silken banners, all embroidered heav-
lily in gold with sentences referring to
the career and character of the de-
ceased. There were queer umbrella
shaped emblems borne aloft on long
staffS. The hearses were one mass of
sable plumes and funeral devices, and
the horses were led by footmen clad in
eighteenth century mourning costumes.
Then came the contrast. The west
ern symbol of grief is black; the Chi
nese white. Consequently, behind the
hearses came the Chinese mourners
clad in black, but with white cloths
bound around their heads. The first
hearse contained the remains of the
wife, as she died first. and in the rear
Of the hearse containing the body Of
Palanca walked the son as chief
mourner.
Palanca was a wonderful man, cas-
lily the greatest Chinese that ever lived
in the Philippines. He amassed a large
fortune, and for many years had been
respected and admired by the Manila
Chinese as no other man has been.
Ie received from the throne Of Spain
the highest honor ever accorded by that
country to any Chinese. the Grand
Cross of Isabella the Catholic. with the
title of "eXcelency,"
Many stories are told Of Palanca, but
probably the most interesting is that
Of his experiences with Butcher
Weyler when he was sent here as gov
ernor general. 1t had long been GUS
tOmary among rich Chinese merchants
to make presents to the new governor
generals to secure their good will. these
taking the form of horses and car
riages. handsome dinner sets of plate,
gold or silver. and such.
When Weyler came, Palanca deter
mined to give the present to the wife.
Accordingly he went to the leading
jewelry house on the Escolta and there
found two necklaces of brilliants. each
costing $2O.OOO Not being able to de-
eide. he sent them both to Mrs. Weyler,
with the message that she should make
her choice. In a few days he received
warm letter of thanks, ending with
the statement thay they were so beau
tiful that she could make no choice,
and hence she would keep them both,
which she did.-Manila Critic.

RISE OF ROYAL HOUSES.
One Vote Gave EnEland's Crown to
HanOvers.

If three generations unsoiled by trade
are requisite to the making of gen.
tlcman. what are the qualifications for
king? Monarchs claim to reign by
the grace of God and their right of
birth, but an inquiry into their first ele-
vation to the royal state, In many
cases, reveals as startling and piquant
results as the proverbial examination
of the dental equipment of a gift horse
or the age of lady in the parish regis
ter. Both courses are impertinent-
and interesting. There is not royal
house in Europe that has held its
throne for more than seven centuries,
or that can be compared with the i'm
perial house Of Japan, founded by
female goddess of the sun. The Mikado

King Edward VII can claim direct
descent through fifteen Of the thirty
five monarchs who have preceded him
on the English throne, from Alfred the
Great and Egbert. first King Of Eng
land. and further back still from the
Emperors of Rome. and even from the
Hebrew house of David. Nevertheless
it is a fact that King Edward owes his
crown to a horses shoe. The Act of
Settlement by which. in 17Ol, Parlia-
ment elected the house Of Hanover to
the British throne. was passed by only
one vote. And this winning vote was
cast by Sir Arthur Owen. NJ. P, for
Pembrokeshire. who rode posthaste
from Wales for the purpose. He had
relays of fresh horses all along the
route. but arrived, dusty and travel
worn. at Westminster only just in time
to enter the aye lobby. If one of his
horses had gone lame or cast Il shoe
he would have been too late. Great
Britain would have had no Georgian
era. and. hence. no Victoria or Edward

The declamations of the Genman En-
peror of the divine right of kings in
general and himself in particular are
very picturesque in this age of prose.
But as matter of history the right OF
William II to the Prussian crown and
the German overlordship is merely the
right of a pawn broker to an unre-
deemed pledge. Five centuries ago
Frederick HohenZollern was the bur-
grave of a small city Of Nuremberg.
The Emperor Sigismund was in state
of impecuniosity. He applied to the
burgrave for the loan of 100000 gIlden.
Frederick lent this sum, (about GfO.-
00O.) and as security for it took the
state of Brandenburg. After five years.
as Sigismund did not repay the money,
Frederick HohenZollern foreclOsed the
mortgage and established himself as
Frederick |, of Brandenburg, and an
elector of the empire. This was the
first advance Of the Hohenzollerns.
Gradually increasing their domains.
they became Dukes Of Prussia. and in
17O1 promoted themselves to the rank
of king, and now William Hohonzol-
lern, descendant of the mOney-lending
burgrave of Nuremberg. is the third
German emperor.

PALESTINE WAKING UP.
Many Signs of Progress Due to Ger
man Enterprise.

mn EntcEprlhe.
According to United States Consular
Agent Harris, at Eibenstock, Palestine
has shown unmistakable signs of pro-
gress during the past decade, much Of
which is to be attributed to German en-
terprise. German colonists, merchants
and horticulturists, says Mr. Harris,
ARE awakening that part Of the Le-
want from lethargy of a thousand
years. Three years ago German bank
was established in Jerusalem, with a
branch in Yafa, which exchanged $15,-
Sea, where no rudder has been seen for
centuries, are now being piled by Ger
man motor boats. A direct line of COM
munication has thus been opened up
between Jerusalem and Kerak, the an
cient capital Of the land of Moab. which
still commands the caravan routes lead
ing across the Arabian desert. There
is no doubt that German enterprise
will also exploit the phosphate fields
situated on both sides of the Jordan
when transportation facilities shall
have been sufficiently developed to in
sure success to the undertaking.
For many years Germany has been
looking to Asia Minor and other coun-
tries adjacent to Palestine as suitable
territories in which to develop German
markets. The Bagdad railroad, which
will lead through Anatolia. intersecting
the head waters of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates, to the shores of the Persian
gulf, is an enterprise of vast import
ance, not only to Germany, as the pro-
moter and the Turkish empire; but to
the world at large. 1t is the greatest
commercial and civilizlng factor that
could be introduced into this region,
and will tap the rich territories which
composed ancient Mesopotamia. Apart
from new avenues of commerce land
will be opened up to students and tour
lists which, owing to expense and unsafe
methods of travel, has thus far been
practically inaccessible.
The great plain of the Hauran-the
granary of Syria-forms the 'hinter-
land or back country, of Palestine.
The railroad from Beirut to Damascus
is said to be in financial difficulties.
Twelve months ago the German consul
at Damascus, in a report to his govern
ment. advised his cOuntrymen to buy,
not only this railroad. but the unfinish-
ed Haifa- Damascus railroad as well.
Were Germany to acquire these lines
and connect them with a railroad rum
ming from Damascus to some point on
the projected Bagdad route, she would
he in a position to practically monopo-
lize the trade of Palestine and Asia
Minor.
The commerce of Palestine today is
not unimportant. The products of the
country are wheat. barley. oranges. Oil.
wine, nuts. figs, apples. peaches. pears.
pomegranates. apricots. citrons, al
monds. cucumbers, lettuce, onions, wild
artlchokes and asparagus, trufties, to-
bacco. sesame and silk, while potatoes
and other European and American
vegetables are being introduced by
German and French colonists."

Not cash. but children, formed the
