India represent 2.000 species of man kind, that not only is each species opposed socially and intellectually to the rest. but that they practice to- ward each other an ostracism which has never existed in England between the greatest Swellfoot and the most downtrodden hind; and, further, let him definitely apprehend and reflect upon this fact. that the whole com pany of British civil servants, in cluding military officers holding civil Appointments. is only 1900. India is governed by Indians, a tremendous army of them, with just 1900 British citizens at their head. One might far more truly say that India employs a handful of Englishmen to direct her own government than assert that England holds India in the grip of an iron hand.

ImiIian's Mad Widow. Now 71, Is 'assing Her Last Days in Home Provided by Her Brother

Brussels.-The mad Princess Char
 tte of Belgium, better known as the
 k-Empress Carlotta of Mexico, Is a pitiful figure in the Chateau de Bon. chont, palace home provided by her brother Leopold. This frail old wo- man is now 71 years old. Her life which began in such brilliancy is end ing in sadness It is page of history that belongs rather to the past than to the present generation.
 Young folks of today have to be told all about the pretty Princess Char lotte, youngest child of Leopold I. and his second wife, and who married the Grand Duke Maxmilian of Austria. Her ambition lfor she much resembled her brother. Leopold H., made her drive her somewhat unwilling husband to accept the Mexican throne. This end ed in his being shot with his back against a wall by the republican troops. Before that, she had come to Europe to try and get help from France and Austria and other nations, but no one would listen, and the fail ure of Napoleon III. to keep his prom ise and the loss of her husband drove her insane
 Ever since 1867 she has been mad, and has had to be looked after as a mad woman. Her brother, Leopold IT., took charge of her. and she has never left Belgium since. Indeed, one of the few humane traits in the late Leo poId was his love for his sister Char lotte
 For years the ex-empress was lodged in the Tervueren palace. but in those days she was very violent, and con- trfved to set it on fire and burn It down. The new building is now the colonial museum. With years she has become more quiet. but leads strange life. She never goes outside her own park gates, and for many years would see no one but her ladies in waiting. But of late she does not refuse to see members of the royal family. though she never speaks to them.
 For good many years she had a hallucination that she would be pois- Oned in her food. So a special servant carried her meals into private room,

WouLp SAVE SWISS SCENERY
League Asks the Government Not to Grant Concessions for Any More
 Alpine Railways

The Swiss Scenery Preservation SO ciety has presented to the govern ment a memorial urgently calling upon 1t not to grant concessions for any more Alpine railways. Of late a strong feeling has arisen among the more thoughtful and intelligent Swiss that their country has already been sufficiently exploited. Many beautiful passes and minor summits have been disfigured by overhead electric rail ways or besmirched by smoking en- zines. yet concessions for fresh noun tain railways do not cease to be de- manded. Quite recently as many as fourteen were before the government at one time
 What has now aroused the Swiss Scenery Preservation society to ener- getic protest is the demand recently addressed to the government for a concession for a cogwheel line from Glion. via Crochet, to Sonchaux. with a branch line from Brn"hAt to Gaux.

MAN WHO SPENT YEARS IN
 CHAIR NOW DEAD.
Lived Twelve Years With Broken Neck-Father Left Him $soo,ooo, Which He Raised to $2,-
 500,o0o.

New York.-Walter B. Duryea, who llVed almost full dozen years with broken neck, died at his home in
 Upper Montclair in his forty-fourth year. He broke his neck in August. 1esS' by Jumping from the Casino at Glen Cove landing, alighting on his mead in the sand in three feet of water. After ten months in Roosevelt hospital, following two operations. on which the doctors had based the slightest sort of hope that he would recover, he mended and so recovered his faculties that by shrewd invest ments he increased the $500, ,00O which he inherited from his father to s2.- 500. 900.
 Duryea, who is son of Edgar E. Duryea, the wealthy starch manufac- turer. was a member of the Seventh Regiment and the Glen Cove Yacht club when the accident happened. In about ten months he was out of the hospital and at sanitarium at Dan- vile, N. Y. Meantime his father died. The elder thought that the DOS sibility of his son living was so slight that he left him about $2OO,0O in trust but should he live two years ne was to get the bulk of the estate. His three sisters contested the will, but they were defeated, and the young man inherited about $SOO.OOO from his fathers personal estate and real es- tate holdings. It was said that Duryea never forgave his sisters for contest ing the will
 Duryea's recovery was the subject Of much medical discussion. He spent most of the time in sitting posture in specially contrived chair. Three years after the accident he had built 65-foot yacht which he designed himself. At no time was he left alone, there being four women and two men nurses in attendance.
