The Use of the Cumberland.

"What is to become of the training
ship Cumberland" is a question which
is being asked by many people who see
the ship, almost completed and lying
idle, alongside one of the piers at the
Charlestown yard" says the Boston
Transcrip. 'The Cumberland was
launched three years ago the coming
August. and for two years has been near,
Iy completed and yet has been allowed
to remain useless and even worse than
useless, for she is in the way OF the
ward. At the same time the ships null
must be deteriorating more or less; d ~

that there still remains about $3O0O worth
of work to be done, and that Congress
did not provide for it. Now people are

Marriages in GERMANY.

In Germany there are more mercenary
marriages than anywhere else in the
world" said William Bardel, United
States consul at Bamberg, Germany.
''This is not a reflection on the German
people. It does not mean that they are
more grasping than the people of other
nations; it means that the density of
population and the great number of poor
people make it necessary for young folks
to consider the financial side of marriage.
Here in America, where we are making
lots of money, fortune hunters are more
rare.
''The young man in Germany who
makes 1000 marks a year-about $500 in
our money-is considered to have fairly
good living. But how can he support
wife on that? Hence the questions be-
fore the contract of how much the
young woman's family will give her on
her wedding day and how much of an
inheritance the young man will have"

RISE OF THE GOAT IN GERMANY.
Goat Clubs and a Model Goat Farm I'm
der Official Patronage.

There is a movement in Germany to
popularize the goat as a domestic animal,
chiefly on account of its milk, which is
said to be good for every one and by far
the best food for bottle fed babies and
young children. The promoters are es-
ing in the neighborhood of manufactur-
ing towns.
In upper Silesia several workmen's
welfare associations have offered prizes
for goat raising and keeping. In addi-
ton several communal administrations IN
the same region encourage goat breeding
and keeping i'll various ways.
At TarnoWitz the authorities have gone
far ahead They have started a goat
farm in connection with a plant nursery
established with public funds and run for
the public benefit. A tract of fifteen
acres was first leased and later pur-
chased at cost of $1125. Buildings and
Stock increased the investment to about
double that amount.
The local administration contributed
$500 and the Prussian treasury an equal
amount. The balance was raised by
loan, the interest being assessed on the
property of the district until the invest
ment began to pay.
The experiment was begun early in
1905 The result has been a great de-
velopment of interest in goat culture
throughout the province. Small farmers
and landowners Of all sorts are stocking
up and many of the factory people own
goats and Craze them by the roadsides
or ON the common lands. The farm is
not yet paying it's way, but it is expected
to in year or two
The Rhenish- Westphalian manufacture
ing region has also taken up the goat
There are many goat culture clubs and
arrangements are being made to lnsti-
tute a central goat promotion station at
Altenbochurn, busy village where are
coal mines, brickyards and steam mills

ABSURD LENGTH OF TRIALS.
Real Purpose of Prolonged Struggle
Sometimes Is to Defeat Justice.

}
No exepnse of time or money is too
great to insure justice to an accused
person, but the view of a foreigner to
the effect that our conspicuous and spec
tacuar trials "Swell the lawyers heads
and belittle the law" Is shared by an
increasing number of Americans. 1t is
doubtful if many judges or lawyers ac-
tually believe that a well-nigh inter
minable duel between opposing lawyers
or between lawyers and expert witnesses
is an aid to justice. Especially when
an accused has great wealth and is able
to carry on an indefinite contest running
through weeks and months, the question
arises whether justice can be served anc
saved without permitting the duration
of the trial to be limited by nothing eX.
cept the wishes of counsel and the purse
Of the client.
1t is not simply : question of enor
NOUS cost to the public; it is a question
of practically monopOlizing the court, t,
the exclusion of other important bust
ness for an indefinite period. To say
that there is no remedy for these abuses
is to admit a very glaring defect in GU
system of justice. Many times it is oh
vious that the real purpose of the pro
longed struggle is not to secure but t.
defeat justice. Still the courts seer
powerless to interfere. There should b,
no clamor indeed, for any procedure the
would deny justice, but the question !

Indian Blood in Virginia.

The only vestige of remaining Indian
blood which can be identified with any
degree of certainty is that of two small
reservations in King William county,
and these are considerably more negro
than Indian. The larger band numbers
100, and they call themselves Pamunk-
ies the smaller numbers about fifty, and
they call themselves Mettaponies. They
are both governed by chiefs and council
lors, together with board of white trus-
tees chosen by themselves. That they
can lay some claim to being descendants
of Powhatan may be inferred from
