wARDRoBEs OF ROYALTY.
Ladies of Nobility who Have Co.'S
TUNES Enough TO Change sew
eraI rimes Each Day.

The empress of Germany and the
czarina of Russia are the most FORUM
ate women in Europe, If good fortune
means the ability to wear fine raiments
and to change their costumes as often
as IL may please their fancy. it is said
that to keep the wardrobe of the Ger
man empress properly replenished re-
quires the constant service of dozen
dressmakers, and that on occasions OF
court festivities or when her majesty
prepares for an important journey
this regular staff is increased to 40.
We are informed that this wonderful
wardrobe consists of 100 evening and
state dresses, at least two visiting and
carriage costumes and more than $50
house and demitoilets annually All
these are made by hand down 10 the
miuutest particulars.
The empress of Russia is said to be
the most extravagant dresser in Eu-
rope, although naturally simple in her
tastes. Her adherence to plain dress
provoked so much grumbing among
the ladies' Of the court during the first
few years of her marriage that she went
to an extreme of magniicence which
one finds it difficult to associate with
the daughter of the mild Princess
Alice of Hesse.

FEW ITALIAN SERVANT GIRLS.

Next to May September Is the month
In which the employment agencies In

upon these places note as remarkable
circumstance that among the number
of girls to be engaged for domestic serv-
ice, including Irish, Swedish, German,
English and French maids, colored
girls, Swiss and Russian girls, Cana
dian, Dutch, Polish. Scotch, Hungarian
and Bohemian girls, there are no Ital-
ians
This exception is the more surprising
because male Italians devote them
selves largely to the class of work which
most nearly corresponds to domestic
service among women. There are ltal-
ian walters, Italian Wallets and Italian
porters. not to speak of Italian peddlers.
bootblacks, BARRIERS and grocerymen;
but there are no Italian servant girls.
The dearth of these is the more sur
prising because italy is one of the coun-
tries in Europe in which the number
OF female births greatly exceeds the
number c. male births and Italian girls.
usually precocious do not lack training
in their own country as to the require
ments OF household service, to which
they devote themselves almost exclu-
sively. there being few co-eds and still
fewer professional women in Italy.
For many years the explanation OF
this anomaly was to be found in the fact
that large proportion of the immigra-
tion from Italy was male. but in recent
years this disparity has not continued.
Italian girls are not lacking in the at
tributes required for efficient house
hold service. They are quick, indus
trious and frugal; they do not drink
they have no top-lofty social notions;
there is little demand for their services
In such professional occupations as
typewriting. bookkeeping and stenog-
raphy The fact is that the girls in
clined to domestic duties marry. They
do not become servants

EXTENT OF NATIONS WEALTH
Census Bureau Shows Enormous
Increase in Period of Four
Years.
Total in 1904 Was Over One Hun
dred and Seven Billions.
Total Public Indebtedness is Close
On To Three Billions.

The total estimate of the value OF
the national wealth in 1904 was SlO7,-
1O4, 1872, 40, according to special re-
port issued by the census bureau on
wealth, debt and taxation, which repre-
sents an increase in the four-year
period from 1900 to 1904 of Sl8, $780,
85,635.
This advance in national wealth has
no parallel in the history of the United
States except in the decade from 1850
to 1860. In 1850, when the first esti-
mates of the national wealth were
made, the figures were only 81, 1885,
7sO,228.
The most potent cause for the in
crease in the nations wealth from 1900
to 1904, it is stated, was the reaction
from the low prices of the period of
depression from 1893 to 1896. The an
nual increase ofwealth per family from
1890 to 1904 was 1882.
The various forms into which the
nations wealth is divided, with their
valuations, are as follows:
Real property and improvements
taxed, $50, 5lO,228,057; real property
and improvements exempt, So, s3l, 244,-

HAYS PLEDGES GOVERNMENT AID
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
Talks to Minnesota Senator's.

Professor Hays, assistant secretary
of agriculture and former instructor
at the state agricultural school, adj
dressed the state senate on Friday.
Professor Hays pleaded for legisla-
tive appropriations and legislation
for betterment of crop and animal
raising in Minnesota. He asserted
that scientific work at the state agri-
cultural school, which he called s1the
most practical agricultural high
school in the world" has resulted in
adding $40, 600, 900 to the states wealth
in betterment OF crops throughout the
state. He then made plea for the
pending bills for district agricultural
high schools.
s'Thisis splendid movement, said
Professor Hays, land should he en-
couraged.' q Hesaaso argued in favor
OF permitting the teaching Of agricul-
ture in consolidate rural schools. He
suggested an experimental farm for
every ten counties in the state, and
promised federal cooperation in help
ing the good work along.
AS to the federal bill by Senator
Knute Nelson to grant aid to state
agricultural schools, Mr.. Hays said
the money would be expended to aid
collegiate institutions and not for i'm
dustrial agricultural schools scattered
throughout the state. Congressman
Davis has a bill, recently introduced,
to aid the smaller agricultural
schools.
