The Gear and His Money.

From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post
The fact that the car has just made
little contribution of 100000. 900 from his
private purse to the Russian war fund re-
minds US that Mr.. Rockefeller Is not the
only rich man in the world There are
few others. and there is hardly doubt
that the Russian monarch overtops the
Standard Oil emperor not only as the first
of autocrats but as the first of plutocrats.
Most royalties are very small potatoes
financially compared with any one of sew
eral American millionaires. Mr.. Rockefel-
leI' could put all the sovereigns of Europe
except the czar. on his payroll at their
present wages without depriving himself of
a single bowl of crackers and milk or ever
lacking a quarter to drop into the contrt-
button box on Sunday. He could pay the
salary of King Edward or of the kaiser for
a year out of a months income, and nave
something left for carfare.
But the Russian emperor Is in a different
class. In the imperial budget the allowance
for his household is figured at the meager
rate of about $8,0O0.000 a year, but that is
merely the beginning of his resources. He
owns a great part of Russia as his pri-
vate property-rnlnes. forests and illimita-
BILE stretches of arabic lands. In European
Russia alone the strictly private domains OF
the imperial family are as large as Indiana.
The state owns twenty times as much
more. and the car is the state. In Siberia
the imperial resources are Still more opu-
lent. MOST OF the rlcn HhliieS VI Soiu, pldu-
mum and precious stones are worked for
the benefit of the car and his family.
But beyond all this. the emperor Is the
absolute master of the national treasury
and all it's varied sources of income. In
England the king talks in his speeches of
my army my navy" and my exche-
quer" but all this is understood to be a
legal fiction. Everything Is regulated by
parliament. and the king cannot touch
penny that is not appropriated to his use.
But in Russia the car can speak Of my
army and my navy in literal fact. He
could disband the whole outfit If he chose,
and pocket the money saved by the opera
ton. His civil list is simply the amount
that he sees fit to dip out of the treasury.
He could double triple 1t without ask
ing anybody's permission. The whole
treasury is his. and all the taxing power
of the empire to the limit of the ability OF
his subjects to pay. Is it not clear that
the diffident young Nicholas Is the richest
man in the world?

THE AMERICANA. BY Hugo Munsterberg. profess
Of psychology ct Harvard University Trans
lated by Edwin Il. Holt Phi D.. instructor az
Harvard University New York Mcclure, Phil
lips h Co. Washington: Woodward Lothrop.
Prof Munsterberg has now turned both
sides of the American character to his
German readers. In his American Traits,
written several years ago. he warmly de-
Tended German ideals and criticised certain
American tendencies rather severely. In the
preface to that work he expressed his own
doubt whether there were not some points
In which Germany might learn from Ameri-
can culture, and he promised book on
that subject, which Is now In hand. 1t was
intended strictly for German consumption.
for the author is of the opinion that 1t
would be worse than superfiuous to inform
Americans on matters which they knew
before they were born Yet he was urged
to bring the work before the American peo-
pie and while he consented. lie insisted
that the work of translation should not in
any circumstances be done by himself al
though he is thoroughly conversant with
English. Such a production would then
have been simply a book written In English
by its author. and Its only possible right
to existence" he urges, must lie in its re-
fected character in it's having been writ

new world from the old"
1t is difficult To present within a brief
compass an adequate idea of the scope of
this large and important work, which de-
serves to he. read through by every Ameri-
can who wishes to see the nation reflected
thus in the mind of a careful analytical
observer. In general its tone is in praise
of the people and their works Retracting

Notes From the Publishing Houses.

The new year is marked by two impor-
tant announcements affecting the magazine
world, one newcomer and one amalgama-
ton being proclaimed. Doubleday, Page &
Co. send forth word that on the 14th of
January will be issued the first number of
their new periodical, the Garden Magazine,
dated February. Preparations have been in
progress for some time, and it is expected
that the new print will reach a high stand
ard of artistic and literary excellence and
attractiveness. The magazine will be con-
fined strictly to gardening subjects. 1t will
be gardeners reminder" pointing out
the things to be done during that month,
and the magazine will be delivered to sub
scribers two weeks before the first Of the
month, in ample time to have the work well
in hand. Twenty-Five departments cover all
branches of flower and vegetable garden
ing, garden trees and shrubs, dollhouse and
coldframe growing, indoor plants and win
dow boxes, In various parts of the country.
No attempt will be made to make 1T rival
its elder sister, Country Life in America,
although there will be practical illustra-
tions finely printed on the best coated paper
throughout. The publishers, being in con-
slant touch with the best writer's and pho
tographers practical gardening subjects,
have been convinced that, Ii the Garden
Magazine were not Immediately published,
this living, growing field would not long re-
main unoccupied.
Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons announce
that, beginning with January, 1905. The
Literary World will be incorporated with
The Critic. which has taken over the publi-
cation of the Boston monthly from Messrs.
l.. c. Page & Co., who have been it's pub
fishers for the last two years. The Liter
airy World was established some thirty or
more years ago.. and has to the present
date been the only strictly literary Journal
emanating from Boston. It's editorial con-
| duct has been distinguished for the high
nf ira and the irynfn o.
ton of its reviews. 1t has appealed par
ticularly to cultivated New Englanders. In
Its contents The Literary World has been,

It's Like Tennyson's Brook.

Some years ago a Christmas gift
Was sent me, but, alas,
It was a thing no use to me;
And SO it came to pass,
On thrifty thoughts intent, laid
1t carefully away.
And sent 1t to q bosom friend
OF mine next Christmas day.
Since then, as surely as the SHOWS
In fieecy beauty fall,
And mistletoe and holly wreaths
Are hung upon the wall,
By mail, express or messenger.
Each second year, alack,
When Christmas gifts are going round
get my present back.

FIGHTING CONSUMPTION.
Associated Charities Outlines Campaign
AGAINST Disease.

The committee on the prevention OF con-
sumption connected with the Associated
Charities, held an important meeting late
Yesterday afternoon at 81 G street north
west. There were present Gen. George NJ.
Sternberg, DR.. George M. Kober, Rev. u.
e. Wiseman, DR.. d. Percy Hickling, DR..
C. I. West. DR.. Richard A. Kingsman, Ra3-
bi Louis Stern, Mr.. William F. Guide. Rev.
John Van Schaick, Mr.. E. II. Hunter, MIR.
Charles F. Weller and Mr.. Wallace Hatch.
In the absence of the chairman. Dr.
William c. woodward, Gen. Sternberg
served as presiding officer. Gen. Sternberg
reported for the special committee which
was to look up site for a consumptive
sanitarium that the grounds of the pro-
posed municipal hospital, on Brightwood
avenue would not be suitable for the work
which was to be done; that place similar
to that occupied by Camp Good VIII would
best suit the needs of the committee. AS
no place has been found. the committees
chief attention for time will be centered
upon a dispensary for consumptives. which
will be opened in connection with the
southwest division office of the Associated
Charities.
At this dispensary all who know that
they are suffering from the great white
plague and all who suspect that the dis
ease has fastened itself upon them will be
examined and treated free. Special atten-
ton will be given to the microscopic exam
nation of sputum in order that the disease
may be detected in its early stages. when 1t
is very frequently durable. Patients able
to pay for this service will be allowed to
do so, but the committees fundamental
purpose Is to make 1t possible for any one
and every one who suspects that he or she
may be developing tuberculosis to secure
thorough scientific examination by compe-
tent physicians.
BY vote Of the committee Mr.. Wallace
Hatch, who has served for the past six
months as the assistant secretary of the
Associated Charities In charge of the spe-
cial committees on summer outings hous-
ing, improvement and prevention of con-
sumption, is to be continued to take care
of the executive duties Of this committee,
to arrange public lectures, to assist in rails
ing funds and in developing the tuberculosis
dispensary.
1t was decided to continue and place even
greater emphasis upon the educational
work, which has been such an important
part of the committees labors. Lectures
will be given in the various churches of
the city and wherever an audience is Of
fered. Efforts also will be made to enlist
the active cooperation of organizations and
institutions of all classes. In carrying out
this idea the assistance of labor unions,
fraternal societies and government depart
ments will be sought especially
Reports of work accomplished during the
past year gave evidence that the commit
tees work has passed the experimental
stage and is sure to prove the means of
rescuing many sufferers from consumption,
which, at the present time, has it's great
