REAL PRINCE ADVERTISED
FOR A RICH Wife

Berlin, Oct IA recent advertise
ment in a leading Berlin newspaper,
the "Vossische Zeitung," offering a
real prince in the marriage market at
the extremely low price of $4,000, has
caused widespread discussion. The
announcement reads: Prince, rs
years old, splendid appearance, of
great general education and polish,
wishes immediate marriage. Ready
cash necessary, 100000 marks. Mar
riage 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 it is limited that perhaps
the rise in the price of meat, vegeta-
bles and other household necessities
is the cahse of this diminution in
value
A prince, however, it is argued. is
in reality a gift" at $4,000. In the
West End of Berlin simple private
professor has hitherto commanded
| that sum in the matrimonial market,
while a medical man or lawyer in
good practice was not to be had below
| $600,0 900. and a doctor Of philosophy
commanded $4,000 at the very least,

what is likely to be the price of the
many counts and barons on the mar
ket in the face of this low offer of
live prince.
/ The mule has begun an invasion of
Germany. The omnibus company of
| Berlin has just received a shipment
first mules brought into Germany for
work. Hitherto the mule has only
ben a curiosity of the geological gar
dens. The company is starting in an
experimental way with a dozen, in
tending to increase the number later
as soon as the experiment shall have
! been proved a success.
No doubt. however, is entertained
as to the ability of the mule to main
tain in the German climate his repu-
tation for endurance under hard work
The expert having the matter in
charge assures the company that
eight mules win do the work of ten
horses. that each mule will cost TWEEN
ty-fve per cent 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 of thirty
years.
| The Bavarians are also growing in
terested in the mule and are discuss
ing the feasibility of substituting him
| for the OK.
| The Prussian Government has re-
Gently called on the police authori-
ties of towns which keep bloodhounds
for tracking criminals to report as to
their success in using them. The re-
ports sent in indicate that the police
authorities are well satisfied with the
results.
In nearly all cases where trained
bloodhound was put on the trail of
thief or murderer soon after the deed,
/ it succeeded in tracing him and caus-
/ ing his arrest In many such cases
/ the criminals We're so surprised and
dumb founded that they confessed
their guilt Even in instances where
/ considerable time had elapsed before
a dog could be obtained it was able to
follow the criminal to his hiding
place.
From some towns that introduced
bloodhounds it is reported that re-
duction in the number of thefts. bur
glaries, 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
has made further progress. At pres
ent the demand is greater than the
supply, and many of the animals in
the service are still too young and in
experienced to do good work
