than to sing praises Of what had been
accomplished by "A past generation.

TRUSTS AND MONOPO-

Danyille, Va, March Senator
Tillman spoke here tonight on
Trusts, Monopolies and Railroads
to a large audience.
He led off with an arraignment of
the Steel Trust and its methods. in
cidentally touching on the domestic
inefelicities of President Corey. The
recent big scandals of the million
aires, he said. showed that they
traded wives like other people trad
ed horses" He declared Roosevelt
"hunked' on the Rate bill and had
inserted at the last minute an amend
ment which made the measure prac-
tically useless Hartman, he said
ought to be in the penitentiary. There
was no law enacted to punish him
he said, because the corporation
which he represented controlled the
lawmakers.

Queens Larger Than Kinds.
London Standard.

From the London Standard.
 The kings and emperors of today are all, as a rule, smaller than their queens and expresses.
 Whether or not the royal and imperial women, because of their larger stature, are enabled to sway the minds of their consorts cannot, of course, be said but every one knows that in most arguments the tallest person usually has the ad- vantage when itis 'stand-up conversa- tion."
 Queen Alexandra, as all who have seen their photos are aware, Is taller than King Edward.
 The King of Italy, who is the smallest man upon a throne today, scarcely reaches to the shoulders of his queen, whD comes of the Montenegrin family, all rugged and well developed.
 King Carlos of Portugal has to Cook up" to his consort, and this can also be said in regard to the King and Queen of Denmark.
 And as for the Queen of Spain and the Queen of Roumania, while they do nc find it possible to Took down on their Kings, they at least are as tall.

Queer Forms of Charity.

From PearSons Weekly.
 The late MT. Samuel Taylor of Ashton under-Lyne. who left by will the other day the sum of G4000 to provide tea parties in perpetuity to poor folks, has had many predecessors in this quaint form of charity.
 Thus, at Burley. in Hants. free teas have been provided under the terms of a similar will for at least 300 years past Other places provide even more substan- tial fare. For example. at Norwich, on three certain days in the year, any in- dividual in need can claim to receive square" meal of beef, bread, broth and beer.
 The Biddenden cakes are, of course, pro- verbal. Another village with a similarity sounding name. Biddenham. in Bedforu- shire, to-wit. gives away sirloins Of beef to all corners; while at Felstead in Essex, Dronfield in Derbyshire, Farnham Royal in Bucks, Duxford in Cambridgeshire, and elsewhere free fish is distributed twice a week in Lent.
 The "alms cow" kept to furnish Tree milk for needy mothers.<i lis an institution of the little Buckinghamshire village of Waddesden. At Fiddle Hinton. in Dorset shire. on January 6. all destitute persons are entitled to receive from the parish authorities pound of bread, pint of ale and mince pie.

Undermining the Republic.

From Harper's Wekely.
 England Is speculating upon the pos sibility of President Roosevelt becoming King of the United States. MT. La bouchere seriously discusses the relative advantages and disadvantages likely to accrue from such d change, and MT. St. Leo Strachey, the Presidents stanchest personal supporter, points unmistakably, though in guarded words in the same di- rection Meanwhile, in this country. man agers of great properties, affrighted by the prospect of vicious or whimsical governmental attacks, hasten in prac- tica way to invest the President With royal prerogatives. Directors of railway and industrial corporations contemplat- ing expansion through absorption Of or amalgamation with other companies no longer inquire whether their proposed action conforms with the provisions or the statutes. They do not even seek ln- terpretation of the law by the eXecutlVe. All they ask is to be informed whether or not they will be prosecuted. If yes' they will abandon the plan; if no, they will proceed, secure in the possession or special privilege. protected by Ills Maj esty. and an easy mark for future cam paign contributions. Do these gentlemen realize what they are doingf Can not they perceive that in thus weakly recog- nizing, for temporary advantage, au- thority never bestowed by the constltu- tion but arrogantly assumed by usurp- ing and law-despising mind. they are undermining the very foundations or the republic? Or perchance. so they get what they want, they don't care.

Best Dressed Princess.

From the London P T. 0.
 In seeming contrast with her artistic tastes, Princess Eliza beth of Belgium has q practical turn of mind. Some time ago she founded d cooking school for ladies ll reduced circumstances in Brussels. She las now followed this up with school of millinery, where young women of the middle and upper classes can, by six months course of study. become accom- plished modistes. The Princess is a regu- lar visitor to this establishment, and throws out hints and suggestions to the pupils herself. A celebrated Parisian dressmaker after having made d tour of the continent extending from Lisbon 10 Bucharest, declared: Princess Elizabeth of Belgium Is the best -gowned Princess in Europe today. She is natural-born artist, as we all know, and her artistic temperament is particularly evident In her manner of dressing. The Princess as a matter of fact designs her own gowns. Her latest creation is an adaptation of the prevalent Byzantine fashion-a violet blouse and skirt trimmed with Byzantine embroidery and goldthreaded lace. The 1,attern for this embroidery was made by Princess Elizabeth herself, and is perhaps the most artistic design of the kind 1 have vet seen" The Princess favorite color is. violet. and she has done much to make this tint fashionable in the Belgian capi- tal

Animals, Brush and Comb.
n the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The lion'setongue is so rough that it can be used to rasp the flesh from the bones. The horny, claw-like papillae, or prickles, are nearly a quarter of an inch long. It has been said that the cat uses her prickIy tongue in the same way; but she uses it chiefly as a comb.
 Many birds possess useful comb in the claw of the middle toe of the foot. This has been noticed in owls, night-jars, herons, bitterns, cormor- ants, gannets, etc. It has been eX- plained as means of holding the prey securely The comb is sometimes re- placed by a curved blade with teeth, which run along the inner side of the claw Such a blade is found in razor bills, wild ducks, gulls. starlings, and many other birds. Where a comb is required the inner edge of this blade becomes divided into teeth. Young nightjars or goatsuckers have only the blade, but old ones have a well- developed comb.

The Jewish Sabbath.

The Rev. Dr. Charles Fleischer, rabbi of the Congregation Adeth Israel of Bos- ton, has caused some discussion in Jewish circles by the declaration that "the ancient Sabbath day is dead In keep ing with his belief on the subject he has transferred the chief religious services of the week to Sunday Sunday religious services in Jewish houses of worship have taken place for many years Tn New York and Chicago, but it was always understood that these were for the bene- fit of those people who could not attend on Saturday. which was looked upon as the real Sabbath. The Fleischer move ment is more radical, because 1t would wine out the ancient day of rest, and m commenting on the proposed change the American Hebrew says: If Judaism IS to be nothing more than UnitarianiSm' with historic trimmings, 1t does not seem worth while to keep up separateness ana the consciousness of mission. TO yieiu on the Sabbath question IS to yleid tha central citadel of Judaism.
