CARL FRANZ, CROWN PRINCE OF AUSTRIA.
He studies more hours n day than any
boy of his years ever thinks of study
ing in America, and he has less than
three hours in twentyfour for pure
recreation. His studying is done under
the direction of tutors. and he has no
boy associates. 1t would not be proper
in the eyes of his future subjects nor
In the estimation of his family for n
crown prince to associate with other
boys and share their sports and other
pleasures, SO young Carts associates
are all men. He attends a public
school for n short time every day, but
his tutor goes with him, and he is not
permitted to have anything to do with
the boys of the school, because he is
to be their future king. and it would
not do for him to put himself on level
with them even in play.-American

From "Unknown Mexico" by Carl

The custom of the country
requires the girl to do all the
counting. She is just as bash
full as the young swain whom
she wishes to tascinate, but she
has to take the initiative in
love affairs. The young people
meet only at the feasts, and
after she has got mildly under
the influence of native beer that
is literally consumed by all,
she tries to attract his atten.
ton by dancing before him in a
clumsy way up and DOWN on the
same spot. But so bashful is
she that she per>lstenlIy keeps
her back turned toward him.
She may also sit down near him
and pull his blanket and sing to
him in a gentle low voice a
love song such as Beau

girl may say to the parents of
the boy. Our daughter wants

De Lesseps' Canal Today.

A correspondent describes the Pan
anna canal as curious picture OF
mingled beauty, degeneration, indus
try, promise and failure. Derricks,
cranes, dredges and tugs lie along the
shores of the canal in various condi-
lions of decay The sea-leyel section
of the canal extends westward from
Colon fourteen miles to the highlands
of Bohio. The Bohio dam and the
Chagres are here encountered, and
also the chief engineering difficulties
of the vast enterprise. Here it is pro-
posed to collect the waters of the
Chagres in a lake covering $4,000
acres. Through this lake the canal
will extend for some miles, After
leaving this lake the cut of Culebra is
reached, and here the backbone of the
continent must be cut through, and
after this is done the canal will de-
scend through locks to the sea-level
section on the Pacific side.
The Bohio dam and the Culebra cut
are the keys to the canal, and both
will be told and retold pictured and
repictured in this country thousand
times in the next ten years. The
height of the Bohio dam has not been
determined, or the lake that is to reg.
ulate the waters of the Chagres higher
up. And the depth of the Culebra cut
is not determined, and in the long run
locks may be discarded and then all
the plans at Bohio must be changed.
Only one thing is certain, namely,
the canal must pass through the Gull
ebra cut, where much of the French

Burdick Case Morally Considered.

1t should be remembered that all the
persons involved in the Buffalo case
are typical Americans. The men in it
were average business or professional
men, and the women in it were Ameri-
can women. There is not bit of the
foreign element in it-no bad blood
from any bad land. All are typical
Americans, and the case must be
treated on that basis.
What then ails America? Whittier
in this period of prosperity and luxury
are we drifting? What is lowering the
moral tone, of American society to or
below the French standard, and rem
dering a Burdick case possible in an
inland American city among Ameri-
cans to the manner born?
There is not good feature in the
case. Burdick went on leading gay
social life even after he knew that
