A Dane for Greece.
The King of Greece is a Dane. as
everyone knows. He is brother to
Queen Alexandra, being a son of King
Christian of Denmark To make room

on the throne, June 5. 1868. 1t came
about through a civil war-or, more
strictly speaking an insurrection-dur-
ing which the lives of the regning
King and Queen were sought. But the
monarchs escaped unhurt. The in
surgents thereupon proclaimed Prince
Albert (the late Duke of Edinburgh,
who reigned over Sake Coburg), as
king, but the young Prince refused
the throne.
Alfonso XIII, popular little King
though he be. and manly at that, is
not sitting on the throne of his fore
fathers-that is, he is sitting on the
wrong throne. The Pretender Don
Carlos V, claims to be King of Spain
and thousands of Spaniards are back
ing him. The trouble dates from Fer
dinand VII of Spain, whose daughter
succeeded him on the throne instead
of his own brother. Alfonso Is the
descendant of that daughter, known
to history as Isabella II, whilst Don
Carlos, whose name we read so often
in the papers, is the descendant Of
Ferdinands brother, who, through the
threats of Napoleon 1, was passed
over. Alfonso XIII is the grandson of
Isabella
The boy Duke of Coburg, son and
heir of Prince Leopold, Duke of AL
bany, has come to a throne in a very
roundabout way. The last of the real
Dukes of Coburg was Ernest II, who
left no issue. and when quite a young
man the Duke of Edinburgh was NOM
mated his heir. True. there was a
family connection between the late
Prince Consort and the occupant of
the Saxe-Coburgian throne; but the
true reason why the Coburgians want
ed British son on their throne was
to prevent the Kaiser, with his great
imperialistic ideas, annexing the little
state and including it with those of
his own.
Belgium has another example. Leo
pold is not styled King of Belgium
His correct address is King of the
Belgians"-a distinction with a differ
ence. A revolution started the Bel
gians king making, and their history
as a kingdom dates from 1881 Up to
that time the country formed tine
northern portion of the Netherlands
and was ruled over by the Dutch
sovereign. A Sake oburgian. Prince
Leopold, became it's first king, and the
present sovereign is son of that mon

Ferdinand of Bulgaria sits on a
throne which was found for him by
the wiles of diplomacy. He is another

has been ever ready to fill vacant
thrones up and down Europe. He sue

ander, who was deposed after sitting
on the throne seven years.

The Kaiser has always had an eye
upon the British throne by virtue Of
his birth This fact is rather curious,
when one considers how his majesty
has come to occupy the throne of the
Prussians. The foundation of the
kingdom of Prussia. now merged in
the empire of Germany. makes surpris
ing reading. William II is the lineal
descendant Of Frederick Burgrave of
Nurnberg, who bought from Sigismund,
the then true and real sovereign, the
country which is now known as Prus-
STA, or, in other words, Germany. In
those days. however, it was called
Brandenburg-one of the present states
of Germany is called by the same name
and this Frederick, the former Bur-
grave, became the founder of the House
of Hohenzollern. The present occu-
pant of the German throne, then, rules
by virtue of transaction which. in
the commercial language of the present
day, might be described as good
speculation"

In the Maharaja's park at Jeypore
the other day we saw a dozen or more
splendid man-eating tigers, which, they
told us. had heen captured recently

with his native hunters and parties of
friends. and seldom returns without
several fine skins to add to his collec-
ton. His tiger catchers remain in
the woods all the time, and he has a
pleasant way of presenting the ami
mails they catch to friends in India,
England, and elsewhere. / notice that
the Negus Of Abyssinia has given Rob-
ert Skinner two fine lions to take home
to President Roosevelt. and / am sure
the Maharaja of Jeypore would be very
glad to add a couple of man-eating
tigers If he were aware of Col. Roose-
velts love for the animal kingdom
intended to make suggestion in that
line to him while we We're in Jeypore
the other day, but there were so many
other things to talk about that 1t slip
ped my mind. However, ii Is not too
late. His highness is thinking seri-
osuly of going to the st. Louis Expo
sition, and might easily take along a
couple of tigers with the rest of his
luggage. He always travels with sew
eral cooks, butchers, and other kitchen
servants, in order to protect his caste.
A man of his high, lofty rank cannot
eat food prepared by ordinary people.
He also takes with him on his travels
a supply of water from the Ganges
for drinking. cooking and bathing pur-
poses, and to one accustomed to such
details a pair of tigers would be no
more impedimenta than a brindle pup.

only a small portion of the population
sports" the cowboy hat. OF this por-
ton, still smaller portion is of the
cowboys themselves: the remainder is
the tenderfoot who desires to give the
impression that he Is "ba-ad man. /"
Somebody imported the hats in from
the East, where they are manufactured
and exploited by firm that. probably
never saw a steer or a coulee. Hence,
the exaggerated style. They are sold
by the foot. like timber. You lean
over the counter and explain to the
clerk the diameter desired. He saws
you off a chunk of hat. and there you
are.
There is the real cowboy hat and the
imitation cowboy hat. Like the Pana-
ma. the real thing is seldom seen, the
imitation often. The real cowboy hat
is expensive, the imitation may be had
at rates within the reach of all.
The original article was made for the
West 1t was broad because the blind
ing rays of the sun, either on bare
prairie or snow, were unsupportable

cause If limp it would have Tapped in

tenderfoot wears the broad brim for
looks and a stiff brim because 1t IL

lady.
The cowboy hat is fad and, like all
fads, will pass away. This first style,
absurd in itself. will be discarded for
a more sensible size. Then the novelty
will wear off and the yellow felt will
be seen less frequently. But like all
things and all fads, this has its use
fulness. 1t enables one to distinguish
the green, fresh arrival from the old
timer, who, raised in the West, or long
a resident of it. sees neither novelty
nor pleasure in the dress the early days
demanded, but which the encroach-
ments of civilization have made obso-
lete.

Agra, India.-A gentleman in Bonn
bay told me the other day that $4,000
people were killed in India every year
by snakes and tigers. and his extra
ordinary statement was confirmed by
several gentlemen to whom I applied
for information. They declared that
only about one-half of the deaths from
such causes were reported: that the
government was endeavoring to secure
was offering rewards for the destruc-
ton of reptiles and wild animals. I'm
der instructions from Lord Curzon the
authorities of the central government
at Calcutta gave me the returns for
the last ten years for British India,
showing a total of 26, 461 human being
and SS,019 cattle killed by snakes and
wild animals during the year 1901-02.
The returns for 1902-03 are not yet in.
This does not include the several ma
tive states, which have one-third of
the area and one-fourth OF the popu-
lation of the empire. Nor does it in
clude thousands of cases in the more
remote portions of the country which
were not reported to the authorities.
In these remote sections, vast areas Of
mountains, jungles, and Nwamps, the
danger from such sources is much
greater and deaths are more frequent
than in the thickly settled portions
so that my friends estimate was not
far out of the way.
The official statistics for British In

A new DISCOVERY!
Power and Force.

The governor of big steam engine,
while in itself one of the most insignif-
cant parts of machine, has, neverthe-
less, within its whirling grasp, the con-
troll of the whole system of machinery
of a great factory. In the living man
there is a similar service performed by
the great sympathetic system of nerves.
This structure regulates and adjusts
the amount of work done by the vari-
Gus systems of the body, as digestion,
respiration and circulation, so that they
do not overwork each other, in health
so that the digestive organs do not
produce the blood in too great or too
small quantity; so that the heart drives
it through the vessels at the proper
speed, and the tissues get a sufficient
quantity for their development and nu-
triton. AS long as this balance is main.
tanned, the patient enjoys perfect health,
but if it be destroyed, the whole system
must suffer. 1t is not overwork, so much
as worry, that is to blame for the innu-
merable cases of ill-health and prema.
ture breaking down that we see on every
hand. The white heads and wrinkied
faces of our busy men and women are
due more often to debt and anxiety than
to disease and age. Any occupation that
keeps its subject balanced between hope
and despair, at one time away up, at
another away down, inevitably works
havoc on the nervous system so that
digestion is ruined and sleep banished.
What oil is to the friction Of the delicate
parts of the engine, DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is to the DELICATE
organs of the body. 1t eases their labor,
prevents the loss of power and waste of
energy caused by friction. 1t circulates
the blood to all the parts. Many man
who was all run down, whose limbs
ached when he walked, whose back.
ached when he laid down, who breathed
with difficulty and. coughed constantly,
has been perfectly cured by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t puriies the blood, strengthens the
stomach 1t promptly regulates the
stomach, purifes and enriches the blood,
and brings refreshing sleep. The nerves
recover tone, the body functions are
balanced, and life is again worth living.
Exactly as the power of the steam
engine depends upon the amount of
energy it can produce from its fuel, so
the power of the man depends upon the
amount of energy he can produce from
his food. Success and power in war or
in peace, in business or craftsmanship,
depend upon good digestion and pure
blood. For this reason DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the best
tissue-builder known.
A most stimulating tonic because it
goes to work in the right way, assisting
the stomach to assimilate the food, thus
furnishing the blood proper nourish-
ment, which in turn feeds the nerves.

killed by wild Animals and Snakes.
Total ten years $50. 252

y
Taking 1901 as a sample, we find
that iii persons were killed by IT,
gers and %. 1888 cattle; 635 persons and
37,4T3 cattle were killed by leopards;
40S human beings and 5,04S cattle were
killed by wolves, ,442 human beings,and
9,123 cattle were killed by other wild
animals, and 22,S10 human beings and
5,0O2 cattle by snakes. This is about
the average record for the last ten
years, although the number of per-
tons killed by tigers reported last
year was considerably less than usual.
AS l have already suggested, these
figures give only about one-half Of
the facts, The largest sacrifices Of
life was in the province of Bengal,
of which Calcutta is the capital, and
where the imperial authorities have
immediate control of such affairs. The
government offers a bounty of 81 for
every snake skin, IS for every tiger
skin, and corresponding amount for
other animals. During the last year
14301 wild animals were reported kill
ed and 96,953 persons received rewards.
The number of snakes reported de-
stroyed was 69,66S, and 2,s5S persons
were rewarded. The total amount Of
rewards paid was 1920, which is
much below the average. and the
smallest amount paid for many years.
During the last ten years the amount
of rewards paid has averaged about
500, 900 annually The falling off in
1912 is due to the discovery that GER
tain enterprising persons had gone in
to the business Of breeding snakes for
the reward, and had been collecting
considerable sums from the govern
ment by that sort Of fraud. Here
after they will not be able to collect
claims without showing satisfactory
evidence that the snakes were actu-
ally wild when killed or captured.
II Is hardly necessary to say that no
one has thus far been accused Of breed
ing tigers for the bounty, although
large numbers of natives are engaged
