GIVE L0NG IN THE LAND.
Noted for Its Remarkable
Longevity.


King Christian of Denmark is the
Oldest monarch in the world, and there
is every likelihood that he will live
ard reign over his people for many
years to come. He has passed his eigh-
ty-fifth birthday. He is one of ten
brothers and sisters, of whom one died
at 81, and the next at 50. Four are still
living. at the active ages of 81, 81, Is
and n. Queen Louisa was one of q
family of five, of whom one died at
81, two between 60 and 20, and two
at 81. All the six children of the king
and queen are living.
1t is curious fact that during the
last 200 years every Danish king has
either been a Frederick or Christian.
His present majesty is, of course, Chris
tian TX. and his father, whom he
succeeded in 1863, was Frederick VII.
In the same. way, should all go well,
he will be succeeded by his SON, called
Frederick, and grandson, called Chris
tian. the last named having been born
in 1889: Thus, like the late Queen
Victoria, the king has lived to see four
generations in the direct male line

i Local agents buy the output and ship

the root to China. where it has a wide
use, being put to variety of purposes.
The larger roots are carved into idols
and carried to keep of the evil spir-
its which constantly hover over the
Chinese; by many it is used as a medi-
cine, which will cure any Of the ills
flesh is heir to, and others use it as q
seasoning and flavor for foods.
In olden times the virgin forests of
Illinois and Indiana overfowed with
the root. and an experienced digger
could make good wages. 1t is now diff

KAISER NEVER CROWNED.
Nor Were the Father and Grandfa-
thcr of Germnny's Present
Ruler,

Probably few people aut Of Eng
land regard with more interest the
proceedings with regard to the kings
coronation than his imperial nephew
at Berlin, and all the more 50 that,
as emperor, he is still uncrowned, as
were his father and grandfather be-
fore him. The reason why is some
thing of mystery, states the Paris
Messenger, but the explanation most
generally accepted is that the orig
inal imperial crown of the emperor
of Germany is in the hands Of Aus
tria, and that she shows no disposi-
tion to allow 1t to leave Vienna.
Bourrienne records that Napoleon
said on one occasion: 81 have not
succeeded Louis XVI, but Charlie
magne," and adds that in 1904, short
ly before he was CROWNED, he had th<
imperial insignia of that monarch
brought from the old Frankish cap
ital and exhibited in Paris with
those made for his own coronation.
But Mr.. Bryce, in his "Holy Roman
Empire" writes that if this is not a
trick of Napoleon Bourrienne was in
error, as the regalia Of Charlemagne
had been removed from Aix-la-Cha-
pelle by Austria in 1898.
The coronation of German en-
peror would be an event of such pro-
digious historic interest as to throw
all other coronations into the shade.
Perhaps there are those living who
may yet witness it.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
An Ancient Order That Has Two
Eur0pean Sovefcisns ms
Grand Masters.

The king Of Spain has conferred the
order of the golden fleece on the prince
of Wales. The boy king is de facto one
of the grand masters of an order which
was instituted at Bruges by Philip,
duke of Burgundy, who was. styled
sthe Good,'' as far back as February
10, 1929. The other grand master of
the order Is, of course, the emperor of
Austria. The fleece went to the Haps-
burgs ''by arrangement" after the
death OF Charles of Burgundy, the
Fighting Temeraire," in 1477, by the
marriage of Mary of Burgundy with
Archduke Macmillan, afterwards em-
peror of Germany. SO it got to Spain.
When the line Of the Spanish Haps-
burgs had become extinct, Austria
claimed the sole grandmastership, and
diplomacy had to intervene. In the
result, the grandmastership became
dual affair. To wear the golden fleece
of Austria you must be sovereign,
a prince of reigning house, or most
illustrious noble. Presumably, you
must profess the old religion. On the
latter point Spain is less exacting.

INDIANS OF WELSH ORIGIN.


Of late there has been considerable
interest manifested in Great Britain
relative to the Welsh settlers in the
United States. The matter, however,
lacks the great interest caused in the
eighteenth century by the statement
that a tribe of Welsh Indians had been
discovered, states the Chicago Chron-
icle. In the seventeenth century John
Josselyn, in his Voyages to New Eng
land" mentioned that the customs of
the Inhabitants resembled those Of
ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Her
bert, another traveller of the same date,
in his Travels" gave Welsh words in
use among these Indians.
A century later reports from several
traders and others were received of
an Indian tribe that possessed manu-
script, spoke Welsh and retained cere-
monies of Christian worship. Among
other information then published was
the report of Capt. Abraham Chaplain,
Of Kentucky, that his garrison near the
Missouri had been visited BY Indians
who conversed in Welsh with some
Welsl1men in his company. Those
Indians were thought to be descend
ants of colony said to have been
formed by Madoc, son of Owen Gwyn-
edd, on his discovery Of America in
ITO.

NOT LAVISH WITH KISSES.


Emperor William of Germany has
the kissing habit, but he is not pro-
miscuous in induIging it. He kissed
Prince Henry when the latter returned
from his recent visit to this country.
as matter of fact, says . London ex-
change, although Emperor William Is
the greatest kisser of men among the
soyereigns of the world, he is also q
hearty hand-shaker and the freest Of
all monarchs in this particular. In
deed, he and the king of Italy are the
only supreme rulers who shake hands
at all with other than brother sover-
eigns.
The kaiser reserves his kisses fer
royalty exclusively. When he visits
a monarch or receives visit from one
he salutes him with six kisses-three
on each cheek. This sometimes be-
fore a crowd of thousands of onlook-
ers, not to mention regiment or SO
of soldiers.
But the war lord will shake hands
with almost anyone: He has grip
that is famous among his subjects, too,
and the favor of his hand clasp is not
assiduously sought by those who have
had some experience with it. His
majesty has big strong hand, with
muscles like iron. They have been cul-
tivated by many years Of sword ex-
ercise. His handshake is one that is
not soon forgotten, and when he
greets visitor with handshake they
say at court: "His majesty has made
another lasting impression"
This grip. it is only fair to say, he
reserves for strong men. For the OPP
as velvet and courtesy that is elegant.
