A correspondent wants to know
whether "the administration" is plural

the present one is singular.-W Washing

similar charges are pending against

If any one thinks that high railroad

his mind when he knows that in 1903
the average freight paid by each per-

-aees.a'ssaa& 100000 PERYEAR

The German Emperor, with an an
hual income of about four million dol
lars is poor man, and has great diff
hculty in making both ends meet, de-
clares the London Express. He does
not receive a farthing IN his capacity
as German Emperor, but fulfils the
duties Of tails honorary position free
of charge 10 the federation of German
States. The Kaiser draws his income,
first, as King of Prussia; and, second,
as private landowner
His income as King of Prussia
per annum. The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance of ap-
proximately 100000, and the EN-
peror of Austria an annual allowance
of more than $4,0O0,00O. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
of them own vast landed estates far
superior IN acreage to the German
Emperor's possessions.
The Sultan Of Turkey receives an
annual allowance of 100000 and
the King of Italy draws over $780,,
600 per annum; while the incomes of
several monarchs of smaller States are
nearly as large as that of the King
of Prussia.
The amount of 100000 granted
annually to the German Emperor in
his capacity as King of Prussia is not
taken from the national exchequer, bur
from revenues from State dominions
which were formerly the private prop
erty of the Prussian royal house. The
Crown lands were handed over to the
State, and in return the State pays
fixed annual income to the monarch.
The Kaiser owns eighty three land
ed estates, comprising a total of $780,
600 acres. He is the greatest land
owner in Germany, and his possess
sions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estates rank next
to his own in acreage. These are the
Prince of Pless, who owns $4,000
acres the Duke Of Ujest, who owns
100000; and the Duke of Ratibor. who
owns $4,000 acres. Some of the land
Of the Kaiser's estates is rented to
farmers; but the Emperor carries on
business on his own account in several
parts of the country.

RocKEFELLER's SUNDAY SCHOOL
His Active Personal Interest in Re-
ligious instruction and in Prayer.

His Active Personal Interest in Re-
ligious Instruction and in Prayer.
1t was my privilege in July to visit
the noted school superintendent by
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, "The Oil
King" 1t was July, and the weather
tandent was found in his place, the
school was in session, the attendance
was good and the scholars were en-
thusiastic.
Mr.. Rockefeller's school is the Eu-
cid Avenue Baptist, in Cleveland,
Ohio. He has been superintendent
for thirty-five years. Mrs. Rockefel-
Ter has been superintendent of the
primary department during the same
period. In the winter they are in
New York City, but during the sum-
mer they are in Cleveland. They are
regular in attendance.
The school begins at $50 a. m. and
lasts for one hour. The average at
tendance is about 500. The Sunday
School meets in the chapel and in
the Sunday School rooms. The
church is a downtown church, and is
not an aristocratic church, as some
have supposed. Mr.. Rockefeller is in
touch with his entire school. He is
an ideal superintendent in that he
delegates the work to others, but has
supervision over it all. He was in
the primary department during the
opening session and in the main
school for the closing.
Mr.. Rockefeller is seldom absent
from the prayer meeting. Mr.. Rookie
Teller believes in formation and also
in reformation.
While I was talking to Mr.. Rookie
Teller young man walked past us.
Mr.. Rockefeller said "That young
man came into our prayer meeting
two years ago, on the 9th of Novem-
Der. He came in drunk, but he went
away converted, and has been faith
full worker ever since" This shows
how much personal attention is paid
to the individual. Church Economist.

normally high wages. and all his en-
ployes receive liberal pensions in their
old age or in case of sickness. He
also provides literally for the widows
and children out of his private purse.
All these payments consume a large
proportion of the profits, so that the
Emperor's income from his estates is
comparatively small.
Practically speaking. the German
Emperor is thus obliged to live on his
royal income of 100000 per annuIn,
which is altogether insufficient for his
requirements. The Kaiser has no per-
sonal extravagances, but lives a sim
pie and strenuous life of hard work
and little luxury. He spends little
money on his table, for the cuisine OF
the German imperial residence is no
torious for its inferiority.
The Kaiser is not a dandy, and
spends a comparatively small amount
every year on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not of particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-
sive. He is not a gambler, and does
not indulge in other designations which
would be excusable in his position.
He is, however, extravagant in one
respect, namely, in keeping up the
imperial magnifcence of his court on
a scale never previously attempted by
a King Of Prussia. The support Of rel
atives forms a first charge on the
Kaiser's income. He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons,
and has to maintain a separate court
for several more distant relatives.
Apart from his expenditure for pur-
poses Of royal display, the Kaiser de-
votes a large sum every year to the
encouragement of art and of the
drama. He is continually ordering
monuments to be erected at his own
expense, and buys pictures for presen-
tation to public galleries.
The Kaiser maintains the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Theater in
Berlin, and the Royal Theater at
Wiesbaden at his own expense. All
three theaters are conducted only par
tally as profit-making concerns.
With all these financial burdens the
Kaiser is unable to make both ends
meet on his income, and has been
obliged to borrow money from some
of his wealthy subjects.

INDIAN DISSEMINATING.


How the Big Demand Has Lowered
the Quality of Supply.
It is becoming more and more diff
cult, it is said, to secure finely woven
Indian baskets, and consequently to
form collections Of the basketry of the
aboriginal American. Fewer of the
fine baskets are being made and the
number of those who desire to make
collections is increasing, says the New
York Tribune. 1t is estimated that
baskets valued at 100000 have been
taken from California and Arizona
within the last two years. Not all of
these. however, were Of the kind
sought by the most exacting collectors.
So heavy has been the demand that
the southwest has been well-nigh de-
nuded of the finer baskets. Most of
the baskets now obtainable are made
hurriedly and 30 fulfill the demands
made by collectors. The Indians do not
spend the same amount of time upon
them as when they made baskets to be
handed down as heirlooms. In some
cases it is not possible for them to find
the durable grasses which they once
used, for civilization has extinguished
them.
Some of the earlier baskets were the
products Of months of labor. Many Of
these cannot be bought for less than
500, and as high as $1,000 has been
paid for specimens. The kind of basket
that can be bought for $3.50 or 81 is
not the kind which the experienced col
lector will accept. He wants basket
which illustrates the artistic taste and
the skill of a tribe, not pot boiler"
At one time discriminating was an
art carried on by all the tribes of Pa
cific Coast Indians from Alaska to
Mexico. At present the tribes of Ari-
iona make most of the baskets. The
Moki, or Hopi, and the Apaches make
many baskets and plaques. The Pimas
and Maricopas formerly made fine bas-
kets and some of the former do to-day.
The Pimas learned the art from the
Maricopas when the latter sought shell
ter among them from the slaughter of
the YumaS, about 100 years ago. Inc
Maricopas have allowed their baske.
weaving to cease, while the Pimas are
again taking it up.
The cheap modern baskets have
heavy fibers and coarse stitches or
strands. The choicest baskets and
those sought by the connoisseur are
delicately woven with mellow-colorel
markings and soft, flexible strands.
The latter are so well put together that
they will hold water. 1t is said to be
almost out of the question to form a
| complete collection of baskets and TO
make a collection of City or sixty good
ones showing the different stages of
development means hundreds OF miles
of travel to the reservations and the
expenditure of much money and much
speech in coaxing the remnants of the
old tribes TO part with their woven

Boy.TIME


Just for a day in dear old boy-time
places,
Back to the rivers edge where willows
grew,
Where shadow deep and sunbeam inter-
laces,
And water lilies In the bayous blew.
The narrow path thro' fragrant mea-
dows stealing,
That led to distant wood, dank, cool
and sweet,
Where ran the brook with silvery laugh
ter pealing,
And rippled softly at my bare, brown
feet
I'd like to listen to the song birds calling
And hear again the sad-voiced whip
poorwill
Where round the place the shadows
gaunt were falling
Calling to it's mate beyond the hill
I'm sick of factory's frown and grimy
city,
The greed of man that everlasting
lives;
] want to go where sacrifice and pity
Are lost in what the dream Of boy-time
gives!
