Young Men disappointed.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, is rather vexed over the notoriety
given the young Chinese girls who ac-
companied Nine. WI from the Flow
cry kingdom and who are now in
Washington. He wishes Washington
society to in nowise consider them as
official visitors, to whom Nine. Wu's
guests must pay homage, or special
ly entertain them. He says they viii
take no part in the social life Of the
capital, that they are simply house
guests. and viii live in seclusion, with
the exception Of outings about the
streets, when they viii be accompa-
MED by Nine. WI. This is a disap-
pointment to many young men of
Washington, who hailed with delight
the advent of the unique and entire
iy new features Of a social season.

behind the legation doors would tru-
" awaken sympathy were it not that
there VIII be large circle OF FlOwery

are all single. Considerable annoy

A MISUNDERSTANDING JoI.s.

A witty remark does not always
result so satisfactorily TO the per
petrator as in the case of the young
curate who obtained valuable living
in the west of England by means OF
pun. The rector who held the liv-
ing had died, and tn ~s were many
applicants for the place, which was
worth $4,000 a year. The living was
in the gift of an earl. who was sur
prised at the funeral by the mani
festations of grief by the assembled
rectors and cuyates. So he said to
the young curate, who had been act
ing as the tutor Of his son: Wat
urally they should feel a proper
amount of grief, but cannot under
stand why they should weep so fren-
ziedly for the dead" The young man
instantly replied: You are mistaken,
my lord; it is not for the dead they
weep; it is for the living" There
upon the earl was so pleased with
the keenness of the remark that he
presented the living to the eurate.-

NJ. Ziem, the great painter of Ven
ice scenes, has completed a painting
of the naval fetes at Toulon. N. Lou
bet the other day took the trouble
of visiting NJ. Ziem in his Montmar-

picture and warmly congratulated
the artist. In view of the fact that
the artist is so years old, the task
is considered a tour de force. Ex-
perts declare the work masterpiece.

BIG YEAR IN
FARM LANDS
This Weeks Movement of
Homeseekers Gives Great
Promise.
Illinois People Crowd Into
Iowa and Iowans Move
North and West. !.

What is to be the biggest year in the
farm land business the northwest has
seen has just begun. This weeks move
ment OF landseekers into northwestern
states indicates that the most sanguine
predictions as to imm grafton and land
buying in Minnesota and the two Dakotas
will he put in the shade by the results.
Five thousand landseekers passed through
minneapolis enrOute to northwestern
points on Tuesday and Wednesday, This
| is a remarkable record for the earliest
| OF the excursions.
This year Iowa is contributing the larg-
| est percentage of the immigration into the
northwest. Hundreds of cars are passing
| through Minneapolis every week contain
| ing the household and farming effects of
| HaWkeye people,. The various railroads
report hundreds of cars now loading for
| the movement next week. Illinois people
are buying Iowa land because they can
| sell Illinois soil at profit and for much
less money obtain an equal amount of
Iowa land. The Iowa farmer has learned
that what he produces on his Iowa farm
| can be grown in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. He wants to provide his children
with land and sells at profit to buy the
cheaper lands in these states. In addition
| to this are the hundreds of small inves-
| tors who know full we'll that time is all
that is required to put the price of north
| western farm lands many notches higher.
The investment is not only safe. but sure
to be profitable. The supply Of productive
cheap lands in the west is rapidly dimin-
ishing and thousands of people with mon
ey to buy a farm are. taking advantages
of the opportunities offered by the north

pate in the Coronation.

Correspondence of The Journal.
London, Feb. 5.-Among all the pic
turesque figures from many countries to
be assembled at the coming coronation
of King Edward, probably there will be
none more striking than the venerable
Welshman who bears the odd title OF
''Hwfa -Mon,' who holds the Office of
Archdruid Of Wales and who has just
received word that-he. is to cut figure
in the great ceremonial at Westminster.
Tall, straight as an arrow, with a face
which, though 80 years have furrowed 1t
with wrinkles, has not lost its express
sion OF energy and strength of character;
and q name Of white hair tumbling about
his shoulders "Hyfa Mon would at
tract attention in any gathering were he
in the most ordinary dress. At the coro-
nation, however, the arohdruid will wear
the oldrworld costume appertaining to his
Office and consisting Of a long white robe
with breastplate of pure gold. On his
head he will wear a wreath Of oak
leaves. t.s4.-
There are few duties .and there Is no
real authority connected with the office
of "aTchdruid" now, "HWfa Mon cannot,
as the old Druids did, try and condemn
criminals or even excOmmunlcate from So
ciety people who happen to vex him, and
the preservation of the ancient Office is
due chiefly to the Welshman's pride in his
own country's history and in his intense
loyalty to its traditions. In private life.
Fwfa Mon is Congregational clergyman
who is famous throughout Wales for his
eloquence. He has held the post Of arch
druid for come ten years, having been
elected thereto after the death Of his
predecessor, who was known as
stClwydfardd." and who lived to be ninety.
Hwfa Mons costume was designed for
him by Prot. Hubert Herkomer, the Royal
Academician, and is supposed to be a
perfect replica ,of the dress worn by the
ancient Druids. It is donned by It's

London, Feb. lone of the new places
for tourists this season is going to be a
funny little Independent state wedged in
between France, Germany and Belgium
that somehow has been generally over
looked before. The grand duchy Of Lux
emburg doesn't care much for tourists,
and has always preferred to jog along in
its own quaint, picturesque fashion, in un-
disturbed serenity, out Of the main track
of travel. It has for its ruler one of the
most interesting royal personages in Eu-
rope-the Grand Duke Adolphus who, al
though he will be IS next July, is as
brisk and energetic as If he were half
that age. He gives to the direction of
affairs in his little grand-duchy an
amount Of time and thought that a good
many European monarchs Of fewer years
but wider domains might employ to adj
vantage.
Luxembourg Is neutral state and for
that reason the grand duke does not have
to bother his head with foreign policy
or to worry, like his brother monarch Abb
dull Hamid. over finding funds sufficient to
pay a large army. The military force
of the country consists, in fact, of one
battalion which does little more than act
as an escort to the ruler The affairs Of
the country, however, which is good deal
more important agriculturally than it is
automatically, call for much careful d.

them is neglected by the little, stout old
gentleman in spectacles who occupies that
position. He is assisted by minister of
state and an imposing assembly of forty
five representatives.
Though Luxembourg is not the first
country over which the Grand Duke Adolf
plus has ruled and although he is man
of Immense wealth. his life always has
been quiet one. His former domain was
the Duchy Of Nassau, now part of Prus-
STA, and 1t. too. was a rather humdrum
sort Of place where life was easy. Mat
ters became more exciting, however, when
the war Between Prussia and Austria
broke out in 1866, and perhaps the Duke
became slightly ''rattled" for he hastily
threw in his lot with Austria, and in con-
sequence, when Prussia triumphed and
took possession of Nassau, It's ruler was
presented with S10,O00,e00 and invited to
vacate, which he did. He went to Vienna
and lived there until 1858, when it was

emburg. BY birth the Duke Is member
of the House of Ora Ige, the reigning FAM
lily Of Holland. Luxembourg was handed
over to William l.. of Holland, by the
Vienna congress Of 1915, and when, in 1883,
King William III. died without leaving a
son, his cousin, the erstwhile grand duke
of Nassau. became entitled to a like po-
sition in Luxembourg. In the little prin-
cipality, his rule is popular, public af-
fairs being SO we'll managed that the state
revenue we'll exceeds the expenditure, and
there is work enough for everybody.
1t is rather surprising that Luxembourg
has not become before this happy hunt
ing ground for folk with guide books, for
it is one of the most interesting parts of
Europe and not one OF the youngest or
|least historic. Really important events
first began happening there In the seven
hundreds when a line Of counts inhabited
a lone, gaunt castle there. Namur was
their family name and one of them be-
came emperor Of France, and his son king
of Bohemia Afterward the heads of the
original family held the title of duke in
stead of count, ard the duchy was united
with Bergundy, and thereafter its status
altered from time to time, according to
German or French supremacy, until the
Vienna congress han0ed it over to Hol-
land. Z.
It's capital city, also called Luxembourg,
stands on a high emine nee to be assembled
only from the west, and the striking SIM
ilarity Of its situation to that Of Jerusa-
lem has been commented on more than
once. The city itself is a 1iass of dunpy
little towers. and classic old gabled
houses looking down into the valley be-
meath them, a drop OF two hundred feet.
During the years in which the old town
was under French. Dutch1and German
rule, it's naturally almost impregnable po-
| sition was strengthened so much that as a
fortress it was reckoned next to Gibral-
tar When, however, the country was
made an independent state in 1857, the
famous Notifications were destroyed and
replaced by extensive gardens. The

William, who has the distinction of being
one of the richest royal bighnesses in Eu-
rope. He has S2O,O00s00O0 in his own

Estimate of the w. ID. Washburn
Land Company. -
A representative of the w. D. Wash
burn Land company, speaking of the great
movement into the northwest says:
1t is a very conservative estimate to say
that at least 10000 settlers will find homes
this season on the fertile lands of central
and northern Minnesota. Thousands more
will take look at the country, and if they
do not locate this year, a large percentage
of them will arrange to purchase farm lands
next season We look for the heaviest set
tlement this" year in the counties of Cass,
Grow Wing and Aitkn, where there has beer
a big demand for farm lands for the last
three years. The heaviest settlements have
teen around Mile Lac, Hill and Rice Lakes
The intervening country is rapidly filling up
and it will be matter of but few years
now before the whole stretch of country will
be thickly populated. - 1t is a country O
forty, eighty and hundred-acre farms, am
the land is cheap to be peculiarly at
tractive for the man of small means, WIN
wishes to farm on an extensive scale. sAl
of our reports indicate big crop for th
season. The railroads will continue to offe
tempting inducements to settlers in the wa
of special settlers excursions, when hal
| fare rate will be made.

Expects a Boom. -...
Regarding the movement of homeseekers
across the line into Manitoba Eugene d.
Case, of the Canadian and American Land
company, Phoenix building, says:
Our company is particularly interested in
Manitoba farm lands in the district watered
by the Red river. The number of settlers
who will find their way to that section this
season will be far in excess of that for last
year, when $4,000 people crossed the line.
We estimate that 10000 will be small figure
for this year and I will not be surprised II
the total shows nearer 100, 000
Mr.. Bartholomew, a Canadian government
immigration agent, who has been in Iowa
booming Canadian farm lands, informed HE
yesterday that he had just sent two train
loads of settlers to Manitoba. He says that
all Iowa is interested in the new country now
| being rapidly opened up and that farmers all
over the state who want to go into whea,
! growing on an extensive scale with small
capital are headed toward Manitoba. The
| 500 road has stimulated immigration by put.
! ting on series of cheap excursions which
will no doubt attract thousands.
| The prospects for a heavy crop could not
| he better. There has been heavy snow ia l.
all through Manitoba during the last weel
| and this will provide just enough moisture
| when spring fairly opens to give the crops
! a running start. -.-- r.-a-

By virtue of his Office, .'Hwfa Mon"

that he would hold great sfsteddfod on
the banks of the CONWAY and prove the
superiority of the human voice over the
harp or any other stringed instrument.
Harpists and vocalists assembled from all
parts, when the prince offered a prize
