Let Us now go back somewhat fur
Their into history, for all these facts
bear upon the romance Of the young
prince now visiting the United States.
Old Peter the Great, who founded the
modern Russian empire, was an auda-
cions sovereign. lie made 80 bold as
to build the present Russian capital ON
soil that actually belonged to Sweden.
He had set his eye along the Scandi-
navian peninsula with the purpose Of
extending his boundaries TO the sea,
thus acquiring a Russian port on the
Atlantic. But Peter died before he
could accomplish this. He left a Sc
cret will, one section of which en-
Joined his successors to carry out his
dream " acquiring an Atlantic sea
board. Some historians hold that this
30 called will, which was not produced
until Peter had been dead about hun
Hred years, was manufactured by Ma
poleon. In any event Peter tried hard

since with longing toward that sea
board, and It Is conceded that the
present car and his predecessor had
more or less definite plans for carry

japan no doubt has put a new face on
that proposition for the present

Gay and Pretty Princess.

Prince Wilhelm, 1t Is said, Is an affa-
BILE young man. fond Of tennis and 9th
er outdoor sports. His age Is twenty
three. The girl whom he is to marry
Is unusually beautiful for n princess.
II Is well known fact that the avers
age woman OF royal blood Is ugly
enough to cause the collapse OF a scare
crow Ia a Kansas cOrnheld. But this
little Princess Maria has had unusual
advantages. Her mother died when
Maria was an infant. The father then
married a woman not connected with
royalty. This brought about his ex-
pulsion from Russia. Maria was edu-
Gated in England and France. Her
culture is said to be decidedly more
English than Russian. Recently her ia
Their, the Grand Duke Paul, was per-
mltted TO return TO Russia. Maria
Pavlovna, say the gossps, is very
gay and light hearted girl. Probably
she Is great deal more so than II
she had been reared In Russia. In any
event her marriage to the Swedish
prince and her consequent departure
from stricken and struggling Russia to
a secure haven In the new house near
Stockholm, now building, should be a
good thing for the pretty princess,
whatever may be the influence Of the
marriage upon the political relations
OF the two nations. In view Of all
these facts, all of us are constrained TO
hope that the prince win get away
from Newport without any permanent
injury to his digestion.

ward the throne Of Sweden and Nor

Report shows 1905 Accidents on
Railway Trains in Quarter.
More passengers on railway trains lost
their lives IN train accidents in the quar-
ter ended December last than in any pre-
vious three months in the history of the
country except for the quarter ended in
September, 1904. according to bulletin
issued by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The total number of collisions
and derailmcnts reported during the De-
cember quarter of last year was 1865,
and 1,43O passengers and trainmen were
killed and 1854 injured.
OF this number $50 passengers were
killed in train accidents, which is four
times the general average of all quarters
since September 1904, when the highest
record of 22S killed was made. The next
highest record was 147 in the quarter
ended in December, 1908, and this was
three times the average of the nine pre-
ceding quarters.

JUDGE HARGIs FREED.
For the Second Time a Jury Finds
Him Not Guilty.

At Lexington, KY, the jury in the
case of Judge James Hargis, charged with
the murder of Thomas COckrill, return
cd a verdict of not guilty.
Almost three years after the shooting
of Town Marshal Cockrill at Jackson
the verdict was rendered in the case OF
the first of those who were charged joint
ly with the murder, and another chapter
in the famous Breathitt county feud an
mails is concluded. June 81, 1904, Cock
rill was shot in the court house at Jack
son. He died at Lexington, where he
was taken for medical treatment.
During the trial several witnesses
swore that Judge Hargis, his brothers
and Sheriff Ed. Callahan had entered a
murder conspiracy, promising immunity
to any one who would shoot Cockrlll,
DR.. B. d. Cox and ]. B. Marcum, all
three of whom since then have been killed.
The defense, however, presented testi-
mony tending to dsprove the conspiracy
charge, and Hargis, testifying on his own
behalf. denied all connection with the
shooting. Curt Jet, who confessed kill
ing Marcum, for which he was given
life sentence, was a witness against Har-
gis.
The Hargis case had been on trial long
or than two weeks. More than fifty wit
nesses were examined. This is the Sec
ond acauittal of Hargis, he having been
declared not guilty of the murder OF
James B. Marcum at his trial at Beatty
willie last July.

Early Use of Iron.

It has been popular belief that iron
was little known to the ancients; bu
Lepsius believes that the Egyptian
used it for hard instruments, and thai
ut was prepared in smelling furnace,
1900 B. c.
An iron band was found in an innei
part Of the Pyramid of Chepos, where
the ancient architect had placed it mo-
later than $500 B. C.
In the tombs Of Thebes and Memphis!
tools and other articles of iron have
been found, some Of which are among
the treasures of the New York Histori
cal Society.
Iron was so valued that it was seized
as plumber by victorious soldiers. Ar
iron sickle was found beneath one OF
the sphinxes at Karnak, and iron was
used for the door frames of the temple
Of Ptah. A piece # pure iron was
found beneath the obelisk that now
stands in Central Park, New York
when 1t was taken from its original po
s!tion on the banks of the Nile.
The relics found show that the art
OF temperlng was known at an early
date. The Egyptians worked mines in
the desert region of the south between
the Nile and the Red Sea, and also
near Mount Sinai in Palestine. The
ruins of extensive iron works were
found In 1873 near the Wells of Moses

An Egyptian Custom.

More than 1000 years ago Herodotu.
observed remarkable custom in
Egypt. At certain season of the year
the Egyptians went into the desert, cut
off branches from the wild palm, and
bringing them back to their gardens
waved them over the flowers of the dat,
palm. Why they performed this cere
mony they did not know, but they knew
that If they neglected it the date CROP
would be poor or wholly lost. Herodo'
tus offers the quaint explanation thai
along with these branches there came
from the desert certain flies possessed
of "vivifying virtue" which somehow
lent an exuberant fertility to the dates
But the true rationale to the incanta
ton Is now explained. Palm trees are
male and female. The garden plants
the date bearers, were females, the DIES
ert plants were males, and the waving
of the branches over the females meant
the transference Of the fertilizing pol
len from the one to the other.
