St. Kilda's narrow escape from starva-

was founded by Gov. Phillip in 17SS. The
supply Of food was limited, the crops
failed, and q frigate dispatched by Phillip
to the cape came back with meager sup

the colony seemed to have been forgotten
by those at home. But two years later a
food ship arrived in Sydney just In time
to save 1t from disaster. Every one in
the settlement was on half rations, the
convicts were beyond control. and the
troops were on the verge of mutiny.

LOSS OF $1,4OO,0OO
IN FAILURE OF BANK
Thousands Suffered in Wreck
of Swiss Institution Due to
Fraud.
tlence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
GENEVA, June %. 1912.
The biggest bank failure and fraud in
the history of Switzerland, involving the
loss of more than 81, 400, 900. and the ruin
of thousands, mostly belonging to the
middle and poorer classes has come up
for examination before the criminal tri-
bunal at Bulach, near Zurich. The court
house is a spacious building, but If 1t
had been five times larger 1t could not
have held the creditors. who had come
from all parts of Switzerland.
The facts are briefly these: The "Caisse
Generate des Arts ct Meters" savings
bank, was founded in 1873. 1t was very
successful until 1891, when a youth named
Muller. aged twenty-three, the son of a
director. was appointed as manager. He
began specializing, first with the money
of his family and then with the bank
funds intrusted to his care. This went
on for nearly twenty years. and the bank
failed in October. 1910. with deficit of
more than 81 ,400,O 900 and assets of a few
hundred dollars. Muller was taken into
custody, but shot himself soon after
arrest.
Ignorant of Bookkeeping.
All the directors of the bank, including
several cantonal authorities and depu-
ties, and the cashier, Albrecht the last
named accused of conniving at Muller $
operations), appeared in the dock to be
examined. The first days inquiry re-
vealed the astounding fact that not one
of the directors Of the bank knew any
thing about keeping books" and had
never examined the books of the bank,
leaving everything to the manager. Null
Ter. and as long as the usual dividends
were paid they did not trouble them
selves. The papers concerning the case
were SO voluminous that a furniture van
had to be engaged to bring them to the
court.
The properties of the directors. many of
whom are wealthy men, have been
seized" to await the verdict.

OPPOSES PORTRAIT SALE
Spanish Chamber of Deputies
Wants "The Alteration of the
Magi" to Remain.
,reign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
MADRID. June q, 1912
An active and even emblttered contrO-
versy has arisen over the affair of the
sale of Van der Goes picture 1.-The
Alteration of the Magi" to the Berlin
Museum, and the question has been the
subject of a lively debate in the cham
der of deputies. The museum Authorities
offered 100000 for the picture to the
Piarist Fathers of the Convent of Mon
forte. but. though the sale was effected,
delivery of the picture has been de-
layed.
In the chamber Of deputies a number
of members, including Senior Soriano and
Senior Burrell, an eX-miniSter, have pro-
tested against the removal of the pic
ture from the country. affirming that
the state, which in 1863 expelled the
Jesuits and secularized their property.
was the proprietor Of the convent, and
that the proper destination Of the picture
should be the Prado Museum. The
speakers further considered 1t humili-
atiug for Spain to yieiH to pressure e,ser-
cised from Berlin.
Germany Shows Courtesy.
Senior Canalejas, the PREMIER in re-
ply. said that Germany had only asked
courteously for the affair to be brought
to a conclusion after delay lasting two
or three years. He himself was of the
opinion that the Piarist Fathers were
not the owners OF the picture. but the
council of state would decide whether
the government or those who had en-
bowed the convent had proprietary
rights In any case, the government
was not going to spend an enormous
sum to keep the picture in Spain.
1t is believed that the council Of state
is inclined to acquiesce in the German
demand. and that Senior Canalejas state
ment indicates that the picture will
shortly be handed over to the German
amba ssador. Columns are devoted In the
Madrid papers to the subject, and there
is universal regret that the country is
about to lose work of art which has be-
longed to Spain since the wars in Elan
ders.

My Dear Daughter-Nature Is a
beneficent godmother, otherwise we
would soon have an extinction OF the
human race.
How many times one hears the ex-
cuse made for a young mother: She
does not know" Not to know Is I'M
|pardonable. 1t Is quite as much her
business to know how to take care
OF her child and her house as II Is for
her husband TO know the trade or
profession by which he earns the
money to support her and her child.
For the first few months OF baby's
life its physical care should engross
the mother.
AS is well known. there are four
channels by which impurities can be
removed from the body: the skin. the
Kidneys, the lungs and the intestines.
To remove the impurities through the
skin, the pores must be kept open.
This can only be done by bathing. l
have already told you, my dear, that
the baby's first bath should be OF oil.
Now, OF course, your nurse has told
yod that your babys daily bath must
be given at the same time and with
the same particular care with which
she inaugurated the ceremony.
The oil bath serves the double pur-
pose of cleansing the skin and lubri-
eating the body. This can be given
each day with warm vaseline or olive
'oil, until the naval cord has dried
and fallen of. This occurs usually
within a week after birth. and then
the tub bath may be given.
The temperature Of the room
should be u degrees and the bathtub
q small one. on low stool, placed
where there Is no possibility OF a
draught. Never place the tub on the
floor. For q very young baby the
temperature OF the bath should be SO
degrees.
Two soft wash cloths are necessary.
Never use sponges, because they are
SO hard to keep perfectly clean. On
the contrary the wash cloths can be
