experiment has been conducted on a
vast scale, and l think the movement
NAV fairly be said to mark the most
interesting recent social legislation
that is to be found anywhere in the
world.
The significance of the movement in
Germany will be better understood
when it is noted that 100000 Ger
man workmen are contributing to and
enjoying the benefits of the pension
system. That significance is empha-
sized when we learn that since the
inception of the system in 1885 the to-
tai receipts have reached 81, ESQ, 000,-
600. At the present time the annual
receipts are in excess of $3.50, O00, 900,
an amount sufficient to make us con-
slider with much interest the economic
consequence of the plan.

The young boy king is tall, thin,
with a prominent underlip, nose. and
iawbone. His eyes are blush gray
by no means Spanish-and his hair is
nlH brown. He has winning manners
when speaking or smiling. and it is
asserted that he is able to speak six
languages iuently-viz. Spanish,
German, French, English, Italian, and
Portuguese. Don Alfonso is also a
military tactician of no mean order.
He grasps readily the laws Of regi-
mental -maneuvering, and when lead
ing a battalion in a sham attack
against a foe it is affirmed that he has
a natural intuition short of genius for
the right move in the right place and
at the right time.

Fresh country air is wholesome and
a SOVEREIGN remedy for many of the
ills that afhict the weary city dweller.
The tendency in this country has been
too much to crowd into the great
cities and many of the poor of the
slums and overtaxed tenements would
be greatly benefited if they could be
removed to the farms. The maya
zines that encourage the love of rural
life are doing a great work and not
the least feature of their mission is
the cultivation of the aesthetic quail
ity. They promote a love for the
beautiful in nature that will result in
the preservation of much of the nat
ural loveliness of the country that
has been too ruthlessly dealt with by
the unappreciative utilitarian in the
past.-Nashville, Tenn, Banner.

WARSAW CITIZENS ENRAGED
AT UNPROVOKED SLAUGHTER

The excitement at Warsaw, Poland,
following the unprovoked shooting of
citizens by the police and Cossacks,
continues intense. How many were
killed probably no ever will know.
The streets of Warsaw have been
filed with funeral professions. 1t is
asserted that seventy people died at
the orner Of Jerusalem and Iron
streets and four in the Praga district.
All day crowds Of highly incensed
people have been crushing around the

aRlack Snow

A strange phenomenon has been
witnessed recently in the snow region
about Coire, in the Swiss canton Of
the Grisons. The wide stretch of
snow has suddenly been transformed
into a vast sweep of jet black. This is
owing to the sudden falling upon the
country of enormous warns of small
black insect, without wings, but pro-
vided with two long legs, that permit
him to nov after the way Of a grass
hopper. These insects fall in such

KIna Of smaIIest Monarchy.

The sovereign who reigns over the
smallest monarchy in the world is the
king of the Cocos, a group of islands
near Sumatra. These islands were
discovered about 300 years ago, but
were comparatively little known until
1925, when Mr.. Ross, an Englishman.
visited them, was struck by their
beauty and took up his abode there.
1t is his grandson, George Reiss, who
now holds sway over the Cocos.

THE Losses OF WAR.
"Upon Human Bones All Empires
Have Been B~uilded."

"Upon Human Bones All Empires
Have Been Builded."
In cases where armies are recruited
chiefly or wholly from the O%ffscourings
of the population, the situation is diff
ferent; but with the s~o-called ma
tional army system" of the nineteenth
century things are so ordered as to
raise this element of cost to a maxi
mum, writes Charles J. Bullock in the
Atlantic. Historians never fail to re-
cord the loss which France suffered
when 100000 Huguenots were driven
out of the kingdom, but they seldom
give adequate attention to the cost of
the glorious wars waged by the grand
monarque and the mighty Corsican.
And yet, from the Rhine to Moscow,
from the Alps to Calabria, from the
Pyrenees to Gibraltar, a century and
a half of magnificent combat sowed
the soil of Europe thick with the
skulls of Frenchmen, while distant In
dia and Egypt claimed a share of the
offering, and many provinces of
France engulfed their quotas Of brave
solfiers. England, too, as Kipling re-
minds us, has sailed down her empire
with the bones of her sons, depositing
much of the preservative in the sea
beyond the reach of spade or plow-
share. Upon human bones, in fact, all
empires are builded; and these things
must be taken into the account when
one tries to estimate the gain and
merchandise thereof.
