extremely low price Of $4,000. has
caused widespread discussion. The an
nOuncement reads: prince. IS years

eGal education and polish. wishes ::n-
mediate marriage. Ready cash neces-
sary, 100000 marks. Marriage brokers
not entertained. Offers, etc
1t is pointed out in many Of the
comments on this. even for Europe,
extraordinary offer that titles are the
only things that have recently become
cheaper. and il is limited that perhaps
he rise in the price OF meat, vegeta-
5les and other household necessities
IS the cause Of this dininution in value.
A prince. however il is argued, is in
~eality gift" at $4,000. In the West
Fad OF EeIiiii. & simple private TTotGs-
soT has hitherto commanded that sum

The mule has begun an invasion Of
germany The omnibus company OF
7erlin has just received a shipment
from! South America. which are the
irst mules brought into Germany for
work. Hitherto the mule has only
been a curiosity Of the geological gar
dens. The company is starting in n
experimental way with a dozen. in
tending to increase the number later
as soon as tfis experiment shall! hav"
been proved q success
No doubt. however is entertained as
to the ability Of the mule to maintain
in the German climate his reputation
FOR endurance under hard work. The
expert having the matter in charge as
sures the company that eight mules

each mule will cost % per cen, less to
keep. that he will stand much rougher
treatment and resist diseases much
better than the horse: and finally his
WORKING life is placed at maximum
i thirty years.
The Bavarians are also growing in

the feasibility of substituting him for
the OK.

bloodhound vas put on the trail Of

guilt Even in instances where con-
siderable time had elapsed before a

From some towns that introduced
n!oochounds II is reported that re-
Cuction in the number Of thefts, bur
iarles. murders and other crimes has
followed From the reports it appears
That the police expect still better re-
suits when the training Of the dogs

supply, and many of the animals in tn.
service are St.ii too young and mex
