 True enough only i1s houses and es- tates formerly belonging to religious orders have been sold. and more than 800 still remain in the hands or the Government. but anyone can see that
 when everything has been disposed or at the present rate of prices, the state shall probably have received not 1,0oo,- 900 900. but 100000 of francs.
 This is of course. a>sertous mistake. but to make mistakes Is only human. hut what is far more serious, and un-
 pleasant to and radical part Is the
 fact that the accusation has been made against a number of radical members
 of the chamber who are also lawyers.
 that they have charged many times more for their service than they would ordinarily have done.
 The official report covered the sale of the property of religious orders shows that for legal service in. con- nection with the sales the Deputy Paul Taure has received 96, 400 francs. Mille- raud the former Minister of State, 53,- 800 francs: Senator Milleard, 53.0O0 francs, and the Deputies Peret and Ricard. 4S.000 francs each.
 Altogether there has been paid in legal fees more than 100000 francs i and the opposition papers are calling | attention to the fact that these fees have all been paid to lawyers who were members of the radical party, while | others who did not belong to 1t have 1 received ranging from 200 to 2,o0' | francs only.

 The majority of the thousands who arrive at German ports from the coun- try of unlimited possibilities are slavs and Italians who go direct back to the districts they left once. to try their tuck in the promised land.
 Prospects for the coming year are not SO promising. however. as the man ufacturers in all parts of the country and especially in westphalia are pre- paring to Aengage as many Of the cheaper foreign laborers as possible at wages which would be spurned by Ger mars.

Berlin, Jan. 4.-Three sons of Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia have started to learn trade according to the traditions of the House of Hohen- zollern.
 The young men were taken before the Kaiser on new years day previous to their departure for the military academy at Gross-Lichterfelde where they will begin their military training.
 When they were asked what trades they would like to learn, simultaneous iy with their military schooling, the two youngest ones chose to become blacksmitfs. while the oldest, Prince Frederick Sichismund wanted to learn the trade of joiner.

 He has already spent nearly a for tune on the grounds of the villa. which aro laid out with artificial lakes. flower beds. and fountains He has had rare trees planted and the roses are the wonder of the place when they are in bloom.
 Now as he is getting older, and his atfac<e of gout become frequent, the King of Belafum finds he can no longer climb up the steep hillside which leads 10 his beautffnI winter residence. He has. therefore. given orders Tor tne construction of a small funicular rail way which will run from the pavilion hv the seashore to the top of the hill.
 His Majesty also wishes to divert the main road in front of his main entrance 50 that t will take in the little chapel which belongs to his property, and <c6nstruct q new broad high road be- vond that.

After transacting bfIsfness in Brussels and seeing his ministers. he returned to Paris the samn evening, and motored down to the Chateau de Larmcv. where he spent fhe night. These habits have earned for the King. among his Socialist ad- vegsmries. the nickname of "Le Roi Chemnean."

Americaa system Attaekes.

The American government Is made the target for violent attack in The Frankfurter Zeitung because of it's ab- solute neglect of the safety of the working people in factories. mines and on railroads.
 .Tn no country in the world is human life held as cheap as it is in the Uni ted States" the paper says, "and ai- though the government undoubtedly has the power to compel the great cor porations employing thousands of men to adopt measures of safety it does ab- solutely nothing in this respect If laws were passed making employers responsible for the lives and limbs of their employees in America as in most European countries the terrible num- Der of accidents which the ofIicial sta- tistics show occur In America would soon decrease.
 We have every reason to be proud of what the German government has done in this respect. It has always recognized that, to protect the workers and the financially weaker parties against the rich is one of it's most im- portant duties. and in this it has been supported by a strong public opinion.
 Thousands of lives will have to be lost in America yet before the govern ment and the ruling classes will reach the standpoint of taking as good care of the working man as we do in Ger many at the present time. It Is evil dent, however, that change is bound to come. The American practice of go- ing ahead technically no matter over how many dead bodies you have to pass. must necessarily arouse anarchis- tic tendencies in the suffering individ- uaIs. The Idaho trials show that the working people of America are realiz- ing the Injustice done to them. and also show the attractive forms in which the struggle, between capitalists and labor Is being waged in the United states.

 More peaceful conditions having been restored in Russia, Czar Nicholas has now found time to think of putting his own house in order, and like his uncle King Edward VII of Epgiand. he will begin by putting an end to the terrible extravagance at the Russian court.

 Looking over a list of expenses for the imperial family household she was astonished to see a large amount put down as having been spent for nearly a ton of tallow candles.
 She did not know what the tallow candles were used for and asked the Minister of the Imperial House, who osd1d give no explanation. An inves- tigation showed that the taliow can dles had actually been bought regular ly dating back to the days of Katha- rine, who was suffering from a cold in the head. was recommended by one of her maids to rub her nose with the tallow candle, a remedy which is much in vogue even today among the Rus sian peasants.
 She ordered the chamberlain to bring c tallow candle. but not single one was found in the whole palace. and one had to be sent for from a nearby grocer Then Katharine issued orders that tallow candles should always be found in the imperial store rooms.

 A diamond necklace valued at $i5.000. which was stolen from Isaac Habib, one of the most prominent jewellers of Constantinople. in March, 1905, has been recovered in remarkable manner.
 A son of Habib was in Paris two years ago and carr.ed with him jewels valued at considerable more than 1000 900 francs. The diamond necklace was stolen from him in Paris hotel, and all the efforts of the police to dis cover the thief were In vain. Many even expressed the belief that the theft had never taken place. and that 1t was simply a trick of the Turkish jow- eler.
 The other day another Turkish jew eler was offered damaged diamond necklace at a price very much below it's value. and he immediately thought of the disappearance of the necklace in 1905. He examined it closely and im- mediately recognized the setting to be the peculiar kind used by Habib. He for sale to go with him to the supposed owner of the necklace and although this man at first declared that 1t was his lawful property, he at last admitted that 1t was the stolen necklace, and consented to return 1t to Habibf
 The ieweler who discovered the identity Of the necklace has already once before brought has remarkable ability to recognize diamonds, and 1t was due to his testimony that the mur- derer of the Austrian jeweler Podrabil was convicted in 1899.

Crfpples ln fsruesia.

According to the latest official sta- tistics there are in the State of Prus- sia s1.7s1 cripple children under 14 years of age. Seven thousand of these children are living in poverty, and ought to be brought up in asyiums But as there are in all Prussia only thirty institutions for cripple children, altogether there are only 1,S00 beds, the rest of the cripples cannot be ta- ken care of.
 The Kaiser has called attention to these figures, and will personally lead e movement to build new asyiums for cripples in the Kingdom of Prussia.
 In Berlin proper there are 2.600 crip- pie children, and 1000 of these are re- eeiving a public school education, while the remainder are iIliterate.
 There are 270.o00 adult cripples in Germany, and only 67 per cent of these are able to earn their own living.

Nathan Pfea.es Pope.

If anyone thinks that Pope Plus x is worried because Jew has been elected Mayor of the city of Rome ne Is very much mistaken. The Pope has known the Mavor-eiect for many years, and holds a very high opinion of him personally.
 When his secretary informed him of Nathan's election. and expressed his regret that the only thing he didn't like about Nathan was that he was a Free Mason.
 When the secretary remarked that Nathan was a Jew. the Pope replied that this should make no dinerence whatever except that 1t might mean than Nathan would be a better Mayor than any Rome had ever had.
 Pope Plus has already been strongly opposed Ito anti+semitism, and often tells a story of how he was helped out of a temporarv embarrassment by a Jew. the Deputy Jacur when wealthy Catholics had refused to come to his assistance.
 It was while His Holiness was still a bishop at Venice that he found him. self in need of 10000 fires.
 When he had tried number of wealthy people in his diocese and been refused. he wrote to Jacur and asked him to let him have the money.
 A letter came immediately coptaining a check for 10000 fires. which Plus was allowed to accent on the condition that he would consider half the amount q present from a friend. and pay back the other half only when he should al once be in possession of 5000 fires.
 During all the time he was bishop of Venice I did not once have that much money in my possession, and se was never able to pay back the 5.o0( lires," the Pope said with smile wher he tells this story.

worry with trifing negro labor, keep up a sup
ply of hog and hominy and provide a soft
place for the prodigals to light when the world
gives them a hard bounce
Some stand faithfully by the old farm, and
to these parents should give encouragement
and appreciation, not keeping all the smiles
for the prodigal. Shocked some may be, but
there's streak of selfshness in my makeup
which sympathizes with the stay-at-home who
never had the "fatted calf Killed.
With the unlimited possibilities of the soil,
in the way of foodstuffs, I see no reason why
energetic people should starve, or even not
make money on the farm.
And right determination on their part,
aided by the encouragement of parents, would
in measure solve the labor problem, take
some of the lordly independence out Of the
negro and save many boys and girls from
dwarfed lives in towns and cities
