THE kaiser'S
L Christmas.
n ROBABLY no European court
gives Christmas presents on so
extended a scale as the kaiser's.

eXIenueu Scule us the kaiser -.
Every one gives presents to ev-
cry one else, and for weeks before
Christmas secret inquiries are made
about the most suitable gifts to be-
stow. The empress and her seven chill
dren mysteriously dash about Berlin
and Potsdam, visiting jewelers., toy
shops and other establishments where
something new or striking is to be had,
and they hold u leyee every morning
of tradesmen whom they have no time
to visit.
The kaiser does no shopping him
self. but he is the greatest Christmas
box giver of all. and his presents In
every case exactly fit the desires Of the
happy recipient. Early in December
he makes n list of the persons to whom
he intends making presents. His wife
heads the list. and ut the foot is usual
ly some old pensioner or invalided
housekeeper who has served the Ho-
henzOllerns for half century.
Soon before Christmas the royal mint
sends the kaiser bag of bright. new

Centennial OF Lees Birth.

Last Saturday the one hundred an
nlVersary Of the birth of General Rob
ert +. Lee was celebrated in the south
Win an earnestness and impressive
ness worthy of the occasion and of the
man who is recognized in all parts Of
united country as one of the MODEST
ana greatest of Americans. 1t is GER
tainly significant that the most nota-
bic feature of the celebration should
nave been the reading of long and
eulogis'ie letter from P resident Rose
welt.
Forty-tws years ago General Lee, as
head OF the armies OF the confederate
states, was making the lsstjdesperate
hight in behalf of cause which, il il
had succeeded, would have meant the
disruption Of the Nation. The struggle
which was then few months of be-
ing ended cost the expenditure of
much blood and treasure and aroused
passions aud prejudiess which it seem
ed at the time would never be allayed
And yet while maltitades of men who
participated on both sides in that
great conflict are still living, we h ave
the spectacle of the chief execu-
tive of the nation paying a warm trib-
ute to the chief leader of the lost cause.
The President in his letter referred
to General Lee as "the great soldier
and high-minded citizen whose fame
is now matter of pride 10 all ourcoun-
trymen." ellis campaigns" declares
the President "put him in the foremost
hank OF the great captains of all ma
tions. But his signal valor and adore So
in war are no more remarkable than
| the spirit in which be turned 70 the
work Of peace, once the war was over. +"
The President emphasized in eloquent
terms the services of General Lee rs
| peacemaker between the two sections
and his labors in behalf of education
and expressed unstinted admiration
| for the man who stood the hardest OF
strains, that of "bearing himself well
through the gray evening OF failure. F."

StrOnQ Iron Market

That the general trade of the coun- try was not appreciably affected by, the recent panic on the stock exchange is evidenced conspicuously in the firm tone of the iron market. Even when Wall street was most Hurried iron melters were buying freely and prices did not give way; and now, that the financial world is regaining it's equi- librium, the iron and steel trade is not only in healthy condition, but it is exceedingly brisk. Many large con sumers of pig iron still need iron for the third quarter, and few of them are covered for the last quarter of the year. An active buying movement IS in sight, and quotations are tending upward
 In former years such a panic as the stock market has suffered, even if 1t were only a battle between railroad magnates, would have resulted in in- numerable failures. Solvent concerns would have been forced to the wall and period of depression would have set in. But these are better days. Business conditions are so favorable and prosperity rests on so solid foundation that nothing but q series of bad crops can bring on hard times. Pessimists who were predicting a dull, not to say a critical year are discred- ited. The crop outlook is good and 1907 promises to be one of the best.

HiIIman Hospital Offer

The managers of the Hillman hos pital offer to turn that fine institution over to the county to be used as a charity hospital. The offer should be accepted without question and without delay. The hospital is encountered with debt of $9000 but this need not be considered by a big rich county, especially when 1t Is getting a prop erty well worth s125,000. As a busi- ness proposition the Board of Revenue should not reject the offer.
 As a humanity proposition it should be accepted at once. Jefferson county needs a public hospital. Pay patients and charity patients do not mix well. Class distinctions in hospitals are even more irritating than they are outside of them, and the county should take over the Hillman hospital, and close its doors against pay patients alto gether.
 The good women who have con- ducted the hospital successfully sev- eral years deserve the highest praise and the gratitude of the people of this city. It would surely be source of comfort to them to know that their work stands as a perpetual means of help to the suffering poor of this county. The institution could not be put to better use, and The Age-Herald hopes the Board of Revenue will take broad view of the matter, including long look ahead.

Stronq Iron Market.

Not this year has the iron market been healthier than 1t is this week.
 From the viewpoint of pig iron pro dueers and consumers the position of all grades of the metal is strong statistic ally" says the New York Sun. "The scarcity of spot, the inadequate tonnages available under contracts for the second quarter, the fact that third quarter iron is stiffening, and the growing demands for second half foundry and steel making iron account for the frmness of produce CTS. The president of the largest pig iron consuming interest in this market says;
 We are almost covered for our second half requirements Reports from my men who are covering the pig iron producing districts regularly make it plain to us that hand to mouth conditions between pig iron producers and consumers will rule for several months-and perhaps to the end of the year. Our business is grow ing fast The same conditions govern the business of our competitors By the na- tion's natural increase of population we are gaining a million people a year, and in the last twelve months we have taken more than a million immigrants into the care of Uncle Sam. That means large consumption of pig iron to provide for the wants of that multitude. We do not look for lower prices for any kind Of pig iron so long as present conditions rule

two Alabama Congressmen should have much to say about illiteracy while 14.6 per cent of the white peo- pie and 57 per cent of the negroes of Alabama are illiteratae. He goes on to show that Kentucky is the most lawless spot on the whole earth in- habited by civilized people Joining illiterate Alabama and lawless Ken lucky together he shows that they are just about the equal in area of Italy, and yet the two American states sup port only 4,O00,00O people, while Italy, despite much barren and unproductive territory, holds 32,000,000 people.
 After reminding our own Congress. men that the Anglo-SaXon race, from which he is proud to claim descent, is very largely Celtic, he proceeds to sum up the eXcellencies of the Italian race He praises it for it's honesty, temper ance, frugality. industry, splendid health, strength and physical endur ance, it's lightness of heart, love of art and music, and for it's womauliind, models to all in the true expression of womanly virtues, and the full and right perception and acceptance of woman's province"

DINING AT THE CLUBS

chef and no other club competes with the Union in the extreme refinement of it's cooking. The Manhattan has cuisine that is very much praised although it Is not so distinctively French.
 The Unions dinner menu contains daik list of ready entrees that are much bd low the restaurant average in price. Bro chette of lamb kidney, Bearnaise, costing only 30 cents; half a chicken costing s1; stewed oxtail for 30 cents and breaded veal chops for 50 cents were items on recent bill. Striped bass was on that dey only 35 cents, and the Knickerbocker of- fered brolled bluefish at the same price, Bass at Belmonicos cost 80 cents on the same day. At the University club it was only 30 cents. f
 Soups at the clubs average about half the cost in the restaurants. Salads show smaller difference, not on the average more than 10 cents. String beans cost 40 cents at Sherrys, while they are % cents at the University, 30 at the Knickerbocker club and 15 cents at the Racquet. The difference in the prices of wine In clubs and in restaurants ranges from 25 to 50 per cent. Champagnes are, for some reason more expensive in clubs than any other wines, and do not show the usual difference in favor of the club member.

Plaque of House-Flies.

"T am afraid the unusually mild winter and warm spring we have had this year will be followed by a plague of house nies," said man yesterday.
 "Of all the insects or vermin that can buzz of these insects I require no tape is the worst Any one who has watched the habits and manners of the filthy little things cannot help having horror of them, and yet they enjoy an immunity from moestation or injury that almost makes persons believe they are considered sacred. Dining rooms and Kitchens are the places most attractive to flies, and these are the places to which they are allowed freest access.
 "A fly is the incarnation of filth, and when 1 enter house and am met by infest a house, in my opinion, the fly or yardstck to measure up the sort of people who live there. l come to the conclusion at once that the residents in that house are lazy, idle, dirty people no matter what the furniture may be like or how fashionable the young ladies may be.
 "The fly revels in the trash barrel; everything rotten and putrd is food for the fly Having widowed in this mire and filth he comes into the kitchen and craws over the meat, falls into the milk, gets stuck in the butter and occasionally pays the penalty of his temerity by be- ing drowned in the soup That fly is reek- ing with germs of typhoid, tuberculosis, and enteric fever. He is worse than poison, because the disease he carries around infects scores for the one that poison could injure.
 Ut may be argued that flies cannot be banished altogether. True, but they can be kept out of the house by screens; they can be kept away if the lid is kept on the trash box; they can be reduced in numbers if every one would declare war against them.
 If people would realize the fact that flies and filth are almost synonmous terms, and that the presence of the one is sure sign of the existence of the other, a sense of regard for cleanliness would prompt people to banish them from inc house
