Beverage Used by Kaiser.

London.-King Ferdinand of Bull
garia, who has been figuring so i'm
portantly in the Balkans, gave up beer,
wine and alcohol in any shape or form
some years ago on the advice of his
mother. The king is one of the least
nervous among monarchs and keeps
his temper in the most trying circum-
stances. II is due to his GOODNESS
that he has been able 10 show to
such a big advantage when dealing
with the hot-headed races Of the Bal
kan peninsula.
King Ferdinand is an exception
among the Balkan rulers. King Peter
OF Servia, the king OF Greece. the
king of Romania and the king of
Montenegro all like their glass of
wine.
1t was in December. 1908, that the
kaiser became a confirmed teetotaler.
His favorite drink is one invented by
the kaiserin few years ago. 1t con-
sists Of orange juice and lemon juice
placed in the interior of a pineapple
from which part OF the fruit has been
taken and the juice from 1t returned.
The pineapple is then placed on ice
and filled up with mineral water. the
drink being transferred to a glass with
a ladle
This drink is. however, only taken
as a special treat, the more usual bev-
erage being a mixture of the juice OF
three oranges and two lemons. with a
little sugar, mineral water being
added

Remarkable Record of FeebIe-Minded-

of New Jersey.

Vineland, N J.-One of the most re-
markable researches in human BIZ
ology that has ever been made-a rec
ord of which surpassed by far the
researches of scientists which have
been diligently made in the subject
during the last century-was made
public by Dr. Henry Herbert Goddard
director of the research laboratory Of
the Training School for Feeble
Minded Girls and Boys.
Doctor Goddard had the case OF a
feeble minded girl before him re-

CATION into the history of her case.
He found that before the revolution
airy war young soldier of good and
sturdy stock had an Illicit love affair
with feeble minded girl. A son was
born and he grew up feeble minded
child and married. From that feeble
minded child have come $50 descend

of these we're or are feeble minded,
while forty-seven have been found to

NON DRINKING KINGS

men: war calls for strong nerves, and
victory will crown the coiors OF the
nation which consumes the least alco-
hol' Contrary to popular belief. the
amount OF beer drunk per head of pop
ulation in Germany every year is CON
siderably less than the amount drunk
In England
Very little alcohol is drunk by the
German royal family, though the
kaiser is the only absolute teetotaler
When he Is invited to dinner he drinks
special temperance drink that is
supplied to his host In advance and Is
served to the emperor in champagne
bottles. The reason for this is that
according to strict etiquette alcoholic
drinks would be banished from all din
ners at which his majesty was present
in the ordinary way. But the kaiser
valves etiquette and drinks mock
champagne while the guests are
drinking the real variety.
The crown prince. though not a
strict teetOtaler, has very strong views
upon those who drink to excess. While
a student at Bonn he gave offense TO
the university by protesting vigorously
against the drinking OF an exaggerated
quantity Of beer by the students.
His sister, Princess Victoria. who
was recently married with such pomp
and ceremony. has an occasional glass
Of champagne, but when she Is alone
with her husband the beverages con-
sumed on the royal table consist of
anti-alcoholic drinks Of various kinds
The late Rev. w. T. Stead wrote in
the Review of Reviews when King
George came to the throne of Eng
land: George V. is probably the most
abstemious king who has ever ascend
ed the British throne. I do not say
that he is a Good Templar, or Recha-
bite, or a pledged teetotaler But | do
say, with confidence, on the authority
of men who know him intimately, who
have lived with him, dined with him,
supped with him, that, although he
sometimes takes a glass of wine. his
usual beverages are distilled or min
eral water and milk. There is not a
man more abstemious in the use OF
intoxicants among all the millions
who own his sway"
The proof OF the pudding is In the
eating, or rather. one should say, the
proof of the drinking is in the shoot.
ing. King George is one of the finest
shots in England. a position which he
could not hold If he were not practical.

EXCELLENT NOTES

That Is NOT Young, Thrifty
and of Good Build.
CRY E l. VINCENTO

Look round for a better head for
your flock of sheep than you ever had
before. BE willing to pay the cost
Ut will all come back.
Let your breeding stock be the best
on the farm. Weed out every indi-
vidual that is not thrifty, well built
and young.
/ was talking the other day with a
man who has a special arrangement
with a butcher downtown to take so
many lambs every week at a certain
specified price per pound. That man
has no trouble to dispose of his sur
plus stock. He takes the matter by
the right handle. Get your market,
then work for the lambs.
Never buy a eve with great long
hoofs. The longer her hoofs the few
er teeth she is apt to have, and tooth
less sheep are the poorest property
man can have on his farm.
In picking out lambs for the home
flock, select those that have short
legs and stocky bodies. with good
straight backs. A good backbone is

FINANCING A DUTCH CITY
Amsterdam Owns Most of Her Public
Utilities, Yet Her Municipal
Debt Is Low.

London.-The city Of Amsterdam
owns the gas. water, and electricity
works, the street railroads, the teie
phone system, many of the docks and
large amount OF ground in the cen
trail business section. which IS leased
for building purposes. Considering all
this valuable property, the municipal
debt, which stood at $5O,625.146 on
January l, 1913. is not high for a city
of $4,000 population. The debt was
reduced last year by s1.20O,00O. The
annual interest ranges from 21a to 4
per cent.
The receipts and expenditures OF
the city for 1914 are officially esti-
mated a s15.649,S11. an increase of

How Too Much Haste Spoiled Their
Trade In WaInuts With This
Country.

Tien Tsin.-The principal decrease
in the trade of this port with the Uni
ted States was in the item of Man
churian walnuts. exports of which de
creased by over $4,000 in 1912 as com
pared with 1911. The reason for this
is interesting Inquiry for these wal
nuts from the United States began in
1910. The demand in 1911 was very
heavy-so heavy that orders from the
United States could not be filled, and
in the beginning of 1911 the merchants
in Tien Tsin sent Chinese buyers
throughoutout the region of produc-
ton to purchase the crop before it
was ripe for delivery.
The Chinese. eager to realize the
decreased prices. threshed the nuts
down from the trees while the ker-
nels were still in the milk and threw
them on the market as early as pos
sible, AS the nuts were not ripe. IL
many cases the hulls adhered to them

nearly 100000 over the estimate for
1913. Receipts and expenditures are
always estimated at the same amount
More than a third of the receipts
come from taxes; more than a fifth
from the municipal undertakings (gas,
electricity. street cars. water etc..
and from rent Of ground owned by
the city and let on long leases to
owners of buildings thereon, these
two sources contributing more than
half the receips.
The largest expense item, $500, 900,
is for interest and payments on prin-
cipal of debt; the next largest is ST.
100000 for educational purposes;
poor relief and the support of charit-
able institutions take $1,2O0,OOO, while
police. street lighting, and fire depart
ment together take about the same.

according TO DR.. c 5. Nenable Of San
Antonio. Tex, who spoke on The Use
of Pigskin in Grating" before the
Medical Association of the Southwest
recently in session here.
Doctor Venable, an authority on
skin grating. said the skin of the
young pig is the best material avail
able for such operations. He said:
1T is even better than human skin.
Records show that only about fifty per
cent. of the skin grated from a person
othe< than the patient takes. The
percentages of takes from other ant
mails, including the rabbit, frog. cat.
dog, chicken and guinea pig, all OF
which have been used. is only about
thirty-tWO per cent. Their organisms
are too frail to stand the strain. In
experiments covering three years |
have shown that seventy-fve to one
hundred per cent. of the pigskin
grated to human beings takes.
Had surgeons known of the value
of pigskin. William Rugh, the Gary
newsboy who gave his life to save that
of girl he had never seen. would be
alive today. Reba Hands, who owes
debt OF gratitude to one hundred
Kansas Citians, might owe her debt
to several young porkers.
Cell conditions, especially with ref
erence to their hardihood and rapidly
of growth, are the primary factors in
skin grating. My experiments show
that when a pig is injured, eve

ditions. its wounds heal more rapidly

1t is foolhardy to use the best mares
for raising mules. There are 100 few

There are plenty of poor or unsound

are easily fattened in a small lot, and
do rot fight, but they do not fatten
in a large lot because they are too
restless.
A careless or ignorant man can be
successful in breeding mules, but he
would fail with horses. But a careful
man will be more successful with
horses than with mules. n Kansas
farmer cannot afford to work good
draft geldings. but should work draft
mares. mules or geldings that are still
increasing in value.
The average value of mules in all
states except one is from one to eight
dollars more than the average value
of horses in the same states. The ex-
ception is Rhode Island. There is al
ways a good market for mules. They
are freer from blemishes and unsound
nesses and less susceptible to disease.
They live longer than horses at heavy
labor and can be driven by ignorant
help with less danger of loss. They
can be sold at any age. and can take
better care of themselves than horses
