Iuxemburgers Are Content.


All tourists who have spent any
length Of time in the Grand Duchy OF
Luxembourg agree that the Luxem.
burgers are the most contented people
on the face Of the earth, writes Henri
Chevalier In the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
Though Of very small area the popula.
ton represents many nationalities. II
appears to form part Of Belgium and
one has to penetrate toward the capi-
tai from the border quite a bit before
the Belgian dialects cease to be heard.
Then there Is quite Dutch element.
Half Of the people speak French and
there are many Germans, rs Is shown
by the two German papers printed In
the little capital of 22,0OO Inhabitants.
That the people are happy is be.
cause the Grand Duchy is independ.
ent. Mt peace with all its neighbOrs has
but a small arriy to support and i'm.
poses little tax on the Inhabitants
most Of whom are neither rich nor
poor.
OF Grand Duke Wilhelm, the regent,
II cannot DO said that uneasy lies the
head that wears the CROWN" for no
ruler is better beloved by his subjects.
He was married In 1903 to the Infanta
Maria Anna OF Portugal, who IL the
mother of Princesses Marie. Charlotte,
Hilda, Antonio, Elizabeth and Sophie.
The family is fairly worshiped by
the Luxemburgers. The old Grand
Duke Adolf OF Luxembourg. the real
ruler, Is still alive. He Is nonagcna.
rlan and, though he abdicated In favor
of Wilhelm in 1902, he still takes a
deep interest In all the state and court
affairs.

The N. Y. MORNING TELEGRAPH On
sale at MILLARD'S News Depot,
30 West Main Street.

News comes this morning that
the New York Chamber of Com
merce opposes the government
railroad rate making. There IS
also intelligence that Mr.. Hep.
burn has been hanged in effigy on
account of the bill which he has
introduced and his attitude to-
ward the railways From other
sources notably Pennsylvania
through Congressman Sibley-
come notes and thunders of pro-
test, and friends of the reform
have great fear that they will not
be able to overcome the coalition
of those opposed to any really ef-
fective bill. The opposition of
the Chamber of Commerce in New
York is easily understood for q
large pOrtiOn-perhapS the ma
jority of railroad stock is held in
New York, and much Of it by
members of the Chamber of Com.
merce, their families, relatives
and clients. 1t is hoped that the
next Congress will be more har
monious, more in accord with the
Administration, and more effec
tive in carrying out the promises,
platforms and sentiments that
made it.

% Pitch Pine" Two Hundred Years Old

Moses Lee, of Vergennes, has in his
possession relic of the old days in
shape of "pitch pipe which is
claimed to be nearly, il not quite,
two hundred years old. 1t is made
of wood in the form of book 5Ax3x1
inches ia sizs. Sound is produced by
blowing through "a small slit in one
end at the back of the hook" the
different tones being produced by
dra wing out the interior piece, which
is also made of wood, hollow i'll the
center, and marked on the back with
letters denoting the different musical
sound. The instrument Is black and
discoIored with age and hard service
but is in good condition.
The pipe was used by Mr.. Lees
grandfather, Col. Nathan Johnson, a
native of Grafton, N a., who was an
officer in the old New Hampshire
militia and singing master OF some
note. He later settled In Lincoln,
this state, where he continued to give
musical Instruction, living to an ad
vaDced age. 1t is claimed that but
one other instrument of this kind is
in existence, that one being in a mu-
scum in Philadelphia. Mr.. Lee has
many other valuable and interesting
roles of the old days which he has
been collecting for many years.

The Banana

The Prohibitionist looks on it with
favor, for il does not mix with alco-
hOl, and some think the habitual use
blunts the longing for fire water.
Thus Capt. Parsons OF an English
West Indian line, says that since his
seamen and stokers have been allow
ed to help themselves freely to the
cargo of bananas they have not wish
ed so much rum There is trace OF
copper in the banana, and deep
thinkers believe this is beneficial to
the human clock work
The taste for the banana is not ac-
quired. As MIR. Crichton- Browne ex-
claims 10 q burst of Ciceronic elo-
quence: can appreciation of it is
not reached through slow stages oil
diminishing repuleiOn, but comes at
the moment of FIRST introduction.
The infant absorbs it greedily; child

lous octogeunarian blesses its agree

An American Idea

An "American idea" that finds ia
vor in Great Britain is the teaching
ofhygiene and temperament the pub
lie schools. Fifteen thousand physi-
clans of England, Scotland Ireland
and Wales have signed petition for
the introduction OF the study as a
compulsory branch in all the public
schools of the United Kingdom. A
London paper quoted by the Troy
Times says of the petition "The
response was very striking. Eight
thousand signatures were received
by return of post and had to be con-
veyed to the receiving Office by
special staff of postmen. Others rap
idly followed"
A committee of thirty-one of these
physicians, after studying this form
of school work in the countries that
have adopted this American educa-
tional idea, made out a syllabus of
graded topics and methods of in
struction in hygiene and temperance,
which has been sent TO every local
school board IN Great Britain and
Ireland, with a recommendation of
it's immediate adoption. Nearly all
the members of this English COM
mittee, who have sent out this petit
ton and syllabus are university pro-
fessors, representing the Universities
OF Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester,
Birmingham, Cambridge, London,
Liverpool and Dublin. One is the
editor of The British Medical Journal.
