WHEN ICE COMES WORK GOES.
tClose of Navigation" Brings Hard
ship to Lake Sailors.


In a brief dispatch from Canada a
few weeks ago, says the New York
Tribune, it was made known to the
commercial world that the Welland
canal was closed for the season, which
meant to the world along the Great
Lakes that navigation was ended Of
f1cially for the year. This does not
mean much to other portions of the
United States. but to the people of
the sections of this country and of
Canada along the lakes the phrase
navigation is closed" is full of pOr-
tents, too often of bad times ahead.
To begin with, it means that every
shipmaster who takes that fiat is
master who takes his vessel out on
the lakes after that fiat is issued does
so at the risk of losing every penny
of insurance on it if he meets with
marine disaster. That is one of the
cast-iron rules of the insurance com
panies, and its immediate effect is to
lay up practically every vessel of any
size in those waters. This puts hun
dreds of men employed on these craft
out of work and means hustling for
some new job that will keep them go
ing through the winter. What queer
trades they follow was made clear to
man not long since. who discovered
the captain of an excursion steamer
on the lakes acting as floorwalker in
one of New York's biggest depart
ment stores.
In addition to throwing all these
men out of work, the close of naviga-
ton means the abandonment of all the
lighthouses for the winter and the
shutting up of all the life-saving sta
tons on the American side of the
lakes. Just as soon as the two gov
ernments says the lakes are closed
officially the lighthouse tenders make
complete tour of their respective
shores, and not only take up. every
buoy of every description, but see to
| it that all the lighthouses are prop
erly shut up to Withstand the winter
storms. This means the throwing out
of employmentsof another consid erable
body Of men, and, SO far as the keep
ers are concerned, it works a paS'ticu.

The men who work as tenders on
the Canadian canals have little bet
ter prospect in the wintek than any
other class of lake workers. for there
always is some repairing to be done
on the canals, and 1t is the custom
to give the lock tenders the first
chance at this labor, The poverty 4 OF
Canada is in no way more strikingly
expressed than it is along these same
Great Lakes. The Dominion govern
ment does not support a single life

the general condition OF the light
houses is strikingly shabby when com

Princes When in the Country.
The German emperor and his family
spend their summer vacation in the
castle of Wilhelmshohe, near Cassel.
AS described by writer in Harper's
Bazaar, it is really a vacation Here
is seen the domestic side of the royal
picture which appeals so strongly to
the German. The empress is not alone
the first lady of the land-she is the
first mother in the land.
The aristocracy may grumble that
she neglects her social duties and cui-
tivates too closely the famous three
| KS recommended by the emperor
Kirche, Kinder and Kuche Church,
children and cooking)-but it is pre-
| cisely because of this that the bulk of
the German nation have enshrined her
| in their hearts
AS spring changes to summer and

| draws near there toll up the wooded
| slopes of Wilhelmshohe vans of gi-
! gantic size, depositing furniture, pro-
visions and trunks at the Schloss,
which opens wide it's windows to the
morning sunlight.
In the grounds an army of peasant
women in blue cotton gowns and white
handkerchiefs rake and hoe, prune and
plant, till the flower beds grow fairly
riotous with blossom.
Carriages and vehicles galore and all
sorts and conditions of horses come
| one by one to the stables, and at the
| entrance to the wooded bride path,
| which we regarded as our own special
property, a polite notice was posted
| that it was "for the very most highest
personages reserved."',
| Several years ago, when the crown
| prince was still boy, we used to
have glimpses of the mother playing
tennis on the lawn with her two eldest
sons and a lady in waiting; or of the
whole party sitting around the supper
table on the terrace of a warm sum-
mer evening. Indeed, the princes
seemed to be omnipresent, and every
one had a different tale to tell of them
| One morning as the artillery was
coming in from, it's daily Dienst, the
crown prince, with his legs apart and
/ his hands in his pockets, was stand
ing at the entrance to the barracks,
watching the long train of guns and
horses file by.
His tutor reproved the boy for his
attitude, but with the remark: "The
crown prince never stands in that
position" ooh, bother the crown
princess" came the rejoinder.
