MISSOURI'S RED BOOK
"Old Kentuck" Is Proud of the
Younger States Fine Progress.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Missouri claims to be the poultry queen
of the Union.'' Missouri also leads the
rest of the United States in the produc-
ton of lead, barytes, cobalt and nickel
and in the manufacture Of cob pipes.
These statements are made in a red
book" issued by the Missouri bureau of
labor statistics. The assertion is made by
the compiler of the volume that every
thing necessary to man Is grown or pro-
duced in Missouri
Serene in it's confidence that figures do
not lie the bureau of labor statistics
takes up the states products county by
county. 1t has gathered statistics OF all
shipments Of surplus products, beginning
with stock and crops and ending with I'M
classified articles, such as junk, Ice and
coal tar. Aside from these figures the
book contains a large amount of tnfor-
nation as to the states industries, land
valuations, population, taxable wealth
railroads and rivers. Nothing seems 10
have been overlooked. as there are chap
tiers devoted to the fishing Industry, SAND
and gravel, mineral waters and other
matters that usually do not find space In
a publication of the kind.
One of the interesting statements made
is that in 1908 the state produced 2,1SI, 5OU
pounds of tobacco and that the crop of
1900 greatly exceeded that of 1908" AS
there are a number of Kentucky counties
which produce more tobacco than Ms
souri's entire annual output it does not
appear that the show me" state is at all
likely to endanger Kentucky's prestige in
tobacco growing. Some fears of that sort
were expressed at the time the tobacco
troubles in Kentucky were acute. but the
figures prove conclusively they were not
we'll grounded.
1t is very generally known that Missouri
is a great state and state of varied In
dustries and interests. She is fortunate
in having bureau of labor statistics that
knows how to set forth her advantages
| in compact form and in pleasing style
The "red book is a model Of its kind
and is worthy of the attention Of statis-
| teal bureaus in other states.

HAUNTED PRINCESS.
Memories of a Great Tragedy in the
House of Hapsburg.
Vienna Corr. London Mail.

Vienna Corr. London Mail.
The greatest tragedy in the annals of
the unhappy house OF Hapsburg Is re-
called by an extraordinary article in the
Poster Lloyd by the Princess Louise of
Belgium The princess describes her
thoughts before the statue, in the Buda
pest City Park. of her late brother-in-law,
the Archduke Rudolf. only son of the
Emperor Francis Joseph.
1t will be remembered that the crown
prince contracted in 1881 a loveless mar
riage with the Princess Stephanie of
Belgium (now Countess Lonyay). In the
succeeding years he endeavored to OBJ
tain from the pope a divorce in order to
marry the beautiful Baroness Marie
VetSera.
The emperor, his father. fercely OPP
posed the project of divorce. and on the
fatal night Of January 30, 1889, the
baroness and her lover. then aged thirty
one committed suicide in the hunting
box of Mayerling. The crown prince,
going to her room, is believed to have
found that she had poisoned herself. He
covered the body with flowers and shot
himself through the head. BY the en-
peror's orders the chateau was RACED to
the ground and a convent now stands In
its place.
Always when in Budapest" says the
Princess Louise in her article, Il take

a standstill before statue. 1t is hunts
man in stone. who gazes dreamily be-
fore him.
''Long-forgotten scenes come back to me.
A world of memories storms my soul
thoughts and feelings that never quit
me. 1 see the crown prince before me In
the strength of his youth. ] hear his
voice saying. Where shall find the wife
l want? Tell me her name"
'''Go to Belgium. There a flower
blooms-my sister Stephanie" And he
went. l see the wedding, picture OF
happiness, Of peace. / see the spring:
then so soon afterward the autumn and
the dreadful end.
THE voice of the Crown Prince Rudolf
still rings in my ear The year before his
death we walked together in the beau
tiful park of I-akenburg. The most beau
tiful thing he says. would be to die
when one is thirty, in full possession OF
strength knowing and feeling one could
do all things unfettered by circumstance!
Certain persons exist who say they
know the facts of the crown princes end.
They are silent: they live upon the price
of their discretion. They alone. perhaps,
know the conclusion of the tragedy. L
know all that went before In all It's
phases l am silent, but for other
reasons
Only last month one of. the characters
In the imperial drama passed away In
the person of Baron Louis Vetsera, who
died in Colorado. His name had not been
publicly mentioned for twenty years.

London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Herbert Spencer's scorn for the metric
system because it rests solely on the
fact that man has ten fingers applies
equally to existing measures which are
the result of mere convenience What is

sand PAGES? The length of the foot was
used for distance long before it was
fixed at twelve inches. A furlong is only
furrowlong. The breadth of the hand
became the acknowledgements the easiest
way of measuring the height Of the
horse. The length OF the arm gave the
length of the ell. and from the elbow to
the tip of the middle finger was the cubit.
BY stretching out both arms as il on a
cross, man invented the measure of the
fathom. Cloth measure still DEGREES that
two and one-half inches make nail, and
this is the width of the four fingers held
together and measured across the nails.

was then slight Of figure, with dark hair
worn somewhat long, a brilliant and
questioning eye, a magnetic impression
radiated, from him. He was to be met at

ings and was regarded with respect.
Everywhere he espoused the advanced
ideas. And when he was at last ready
he obtained medical education for the
purpose of practicing his unusual healing
gifts with a basis of scientific knowledge
which would remove him from the mere
"healers." How he was received by the
medical profession we do not remember
but it appears that in Boston, where his
medical practice was, he had a certain
amount of success.
