THE RICHEST PRINCESS.
Future Queen of Denmark IL Worth
$15.OOO,OOO In Carefully In
vested Funds.

The crown princess Of Denmark, who
is now in Paris with her husband, i.
not celebrated for her good looks, bu,
she has the more permanent distinc.
ton of being the richest royal princess
in Europe. Her royal highness was
left by her mother, the late queen OF
Sweden, a fortune OF 60,000,O00 marks
about 100000 of our democratic
dollars-and this legacy. through being
wisely invested, is said to have in
creased to an even more impressive
sum.
And not only is the future queen of
Denmark distinguished for her wealth,
but she is generally spoken of as the
tallest of European royal women. She
is over six feet, and it has been noticed
during her recent stay in Paris-where,
by the way, both she and the crown
prince are exceedingly popular-that at
no matter what aristocratic function
her royal highness is present, she towers
above all the rest of the company in a
fashion wonderful to behold.
These are not, however, the only re-
spects in which Louise, crown princess
Of Denmark, is noticeable among wom-
en- with royal blood in their veins. AS
the mother of no less than eight chill
dren, she would have the hearty ap-
proval of President Roosevelt, whose
good opinion, by the way, is beginning
to be valued, even by royalties The
crown princess has four sons and four
daughters, the youngest of them all be-

Lately he has been appointed by
President Roosevelt as head of the
newly created bureau of forestry, but
his only qualification in the promotion
comes from his feeling that thus his
life's ambition will the more speedily
be achieved.
Pinchat is warm personal friend Of
the president; but that is only an Incl
dent arising from the natural fondness
Of both men for the fields and woods.
He devoted himself when a young
man. just graduated from Yale, to the
study of trees. and with a passionate
love of nature he spared neither money
nor energy in mastering the subject.
He found all there was to be learned in
the colleges, then he tracked out into
the wilderness of the west. He travelled
abroad. He came in contact with men
who have devoted their lives to expert
ments with systems for preserving
forests, and restoring forests in old coun-
tries where the forests are regarded as
a precious possession Then he came
back home, and obtained place in the
agricultural department which for any
body else would have been merely a
clerkship. That was not so very long
ago, and Pinchat is still young man
hardly more than boy in appearance

SOME DoN'Ts FOR SUMMER.
Sapient Suggestions Which May Helm
to Make Life Tolerable in
Hot Weather.

Don't you wink ut the soda fountain
man. Winks have gone out of fashion
says a wise contemporary.
Don't hitch along on an open car
1t is easier to let people climb over your
knees.
Don't take It out on the ice man. Il
1t wasn't for him we'd have to cuss
the coal man the year around.
Don't try to cool of on cocktails OF
warm up ON ice-cold lemonade. There's
philosophy about such things.
Dealt imagine that the fellow in the
white duck suit is looking for red-hot
coal stove. He's got the same feeling
down his back that you have.
Don't get up arguments about ice
cream. 1t may kill, but If it does our
loss will be your gain.
Don't tell anybody that at this date
last year, when you were up In the
mountains, you had to sleep with three
blankets over you. You are thought to
be liar as 1t is
Don't talk politics, and feel under
obligations to call some one liar. Let
him escape until the frosts come again.
Don't swear OF on anything, and thus
perturb your mind, and add another bur-
den. A good case of prickly heat is
enough for one person to lug around.
Don't imagine that you are the only
rag on the line. The rest Of us are In
it with you, and feel just the same over
1t, and any little trust in icebergs will
be promptly nipped in the bud and
frozen out.

skepticism and even with ridicule.
Prior to that it had been regarded more

A True Patron Art. duceu III congress
for the establishment of a national gal
lery and it will have the hearty indorse-
ment of President Roosevelt. Behind the
project will be the trustees of the Cor
coran art gallery in Washington, who
have united with other patrons and low
ers of art in Washington, New York,
Boston and Chicago. under the stimulus
afforded by Me. Morgan's proposition.
Congress will not be asked to make a
large appropriation. 1t will be expect
ed simply to lend the government sane
ton to an enterprise which will be sup
ported chiefly from private contribu-
tons. A New York member of congress
will introduce the bill, and will be pre-
! pared to back it up with an offer of
$1,0O0,O0O as part of the endowment for
the gallery.
A relative of this same congressman
| will give valuable art collection and
a large sum of money for the purchase
of examples of Filipino, Mexican, Gu
ban and Porto Rican landscapes.
But the great glory of the gallery will
be the collection of Mr.. Morgan. The
multimillionaire, now grown old, will
give all his pictures and other works
OF art. with no other stipulation than
that the gallery shall be situated in
Washington. The collection has been
appraised at Sc, 900 900 and it is declared
to be worth much more even than that.
Besides he will furnish enough money
to build wing, to be known as "The
Morgan Gift"
Should congress sanction the gift the
result will be in a short time the
greatest gallery of art in the world,
and Washington will become one of the
great art centers of the world Archi-
,tecturally. toy the gallery will be
classic worthy to rank with the famous
specimens of architecture to be found
anywhere
