BUYS ITALIAN VILLA
GERMAN EMPEROR SECURES 4
 BEAUTY SPOT IN cAMPAGNA.
1t 10 Known as Villa FaIconierl and VIII Be Eventually Turned Into a German School or
 Academy.

The Villa Falconieri, one of the most beautiful residences in Frascati, in the Campagna, has been purchased by the German emperor, and while he will not be able to transport land and buildings to the realm over which he rules, the villa with it's his toric associations. its shady and de. lightful walks, its veteran expresses and old gates is practically lost to Italy, and to this extent Italian pride Is touched.
 It is said that Emperor William intends to turn it into a German school or academy, but, whatever hap pens to the place, the fact remains that Villa Falconieri has changed its nationality with its owner. Voss. the German writer, lived and wrote in 1t, and his bust has adorned the place since 1902. Cardinal Ruffini, who

For women inclined toward greater simplicity there are charming short sashes which look especially well with the frocks made slightly short waist ed at the back. Others consist of inch and a half gold or silver ribbon, weighted with tassels, but a very good quality of ribbon must be used if 1t is not to tarnish. and this Is only another vsy of saying that such sashes. even though among the mar rovest of the smart waist trimmings. are easily the most expensive.

churches of St. Agnes and St. Carlo. the College of Propaganda Eide and the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. but his best work is seen at the Villa Fal. conieri at Frascati.
 The villa Is situated on the hillside below Mondragone and has extensive grounds and gardens which are re- markable for their beautiful architec- ture. Two stone gateways lead to the villa, and grass avenue is laid between the outer gate and a pictur- esque arch of triumph with nicbes and statues. surmounted by the in. scription "Horatius Falconieris,' and with falcon, the emblem of the fam fly, upon it.
 A straight avenue bordered by Hex groves runs between the arch and the court before the villa. On the right is the bosco, or wood, shaded part of the grounds, overgrown with high trees which is found in all Roman villas. A lofty wall of rock covered by shrubs and creepers, with busts, fragments of statues and pieces of an. ique sculpture set on it here and there, divides the bosco from an ele- vated natural plateau, on which there is square artificial pond called the lake, bounded in rock work and sur rounded by imposing expresses, also characteristic feature in almost every villa.
 The lake is the most secluded and shady portion of the villa. Here one may imagine came the great cardi- nal with breviary to pray in solitude and here came the damsel to read her first love letter in sunshine and silence. A double staircase of a simple but beautiful design which harmonizes with the sylvan scenery leads down to the wooded portion of the grounds.
 The casino, or the main building of the villa, is good example of bar. oque architecture. In the center of the grounud floor there is an arcaded loggia, the roof of which forms a terrace for the story above. The center of the first story is semicir- cular, decorated with stucco and sur. mouEted by broken pediment.

TESTING BULLS WITH AUTOS.
How Mexican Learned Whether Anl
 nal Was a Fighter.

That the automobile can be used with great success in determining the courage of young bulls intended for the bull ring has been demonstrated by Pedro Fernandez Somellera on his lsidro hacienda in this state. The novel experiment was made few days ago with 22-horsepower car, says Guadalajara letten in the Mex. ican Herald. On all haciendas where fighting bulls are raised the young animals are tested" with view to determining their future fitness for the bull ring. Those that prove their courage are marked and left to grow up for future contests. Up to this time the tests have been conducted by men on horseback, armed with bikes like picadors. But Mir. Sonel- lera, who is an enthusiastic motorist. this year decided on an innovation by introducing the motor car in place of the horsemen. Accordin gly. after the young bulls had been herded into a large corral, the machine was driven into the inclosure. The occupants were armed with the usual bikes. The experiment proved an exciting sue. cess. Several of the young bulls charged the machine at mad speed. and it was only by clever driving that the car and its occupants were kept clear of the horns of the surprised and apparently indignant animals. The bulls that attempted to mix with the automobile hs7e been credited with exceptional bravery. and they are expected to bring fame to the San 1s!dro hacienda by their future per. formancss in the bull ring.

Hon Foster Dwight Coburn. secre- tary of the Kansas board of agricul- ture, is the remarkable individual who refused the United States sen atorship as it would compel him to leave his present job and keep him largely from singing the praises of his native state. of which he warbles: First in corn. first in wheat, and first in the hearts of its citizens" " Also, 400 miles long. g.2i0 miles wide, 1000 miles deep and reaching to the stars" But what makes Mir Coburn truly great is his love for the help ful hen" When he takes her for an inspiration his song is tuned to the highest flight, as for instance the following: While everything else was going to rack ani ruin she in- creased and multiplied; she support cd herself and family too. The very insects would lave despoi'ei the faim she fsttene5 s.cr. laying her dai;y egg--the blessed egg that took the place 3f baaf and milk. muI:~a and pork-and in good time. after all these services, surrendered her tooth- some body to the cause of humanity.

The object of trust busting is to reproduce competition which the trusts have nearly eliminated. Com petition brings down the price of products to a natural level according

It's worth while now and again for the executive of southern state tc visit a northern city and get quoted fairly as 10 his opinions and his acts Governor Glenn of North Carolina has been charged with defying the laws of the United States and with threatening secession. In republi- can newspaper whose reporter met him in New York he is quoted as say ing these things: "The two and a quarter cent passenger rate will give a profit of ten per cent to the South ern railway on business done in North Carolina. If the company can show this rate confiscatory I'll call the legislature in session and repeal the law. We respect capital and hon. est wealth has nothing to fear from us. If United States marshal had tried to take prisoner away from a state judge, I would have ordered out every soldier in the state to enforce the state law, but if President Roose- welt had sent the federal troops into our state we would have thrown up our hands and submitted to force. v Governor Glenn's position is obvious ly perfectly logical. It is well that he had an opportunity to explain il to a northern audience. The core spondents who have been writing about his "frebrand attitude" evil dently misunderstood him.

USING UP THE COAL.

Edward W. Parker, the Government s coal expert has shown that if the coal areas of the United States were simply out in layers 6 1-2 feet thick, which he considers @ fair average, we should ob- tain 10000 tons or coal per acre, after leaving enough coal underground to support the roof.
 Our 100000 square miles of coal ter rltory at this rate would give us a supply of 1,5OO,OOO, 100000 tons in all. We used up 993,O0O,O0O tons of coal in 1905 and 425,OOO,OoO last year In all we have used so far 5000, 100000 tons-that Is, we have worked out little less than a million acres of coal up to the end of 1906
 Of course at the rate of production during the last year or two, our coal supply would last Gas nearly as we can estimate) between 4,0OO and 5000 years.
