FRANCIS JOSEPH.

FRANCIS JOSEPH.
 Xv. of France. Frederick W. of Ger many. Pedro ". of Aragon and John Palaeologus of Byzantium. Francis Joseph was past eighteen at his suc- cession and has actually reigned for sixty-fve years-a record unrivaled since "the days of old Rameses."
 There is a peculiar fitness in this. seeing that the Austrian empire is in sense the successor of the oldest po- litical institution Europe has known. "Of those who in August, 1S0G.' says Mr. Bryce. read in the newspapers that the Emperor Francis II. had an- nounced to the diet his resignation of the imperial crown there were proba- bly, few who reflected that the oldest political institution in the world had come to an end. Yet it is so. The em- pire which note issued by diplo- matist on the banks of the Danube ex- tinguished was the same which the crafty nephew of Julius had won for himself against the powers of the east beneath the cliffs of Actium and which had preserved almost unaltered through eighteen centuries of time title and pretensions from which all meaning had long since departed"
 Simultaneously with that resigna- tion. however, he who had been Fran cis H.. emperor of Rome, became Francis l.. emperor of Austria, what ever that, meant.rr to quote not Mir. Bryce. but Mr. Freeman, And as the Roman crown had long been in the possessioH Of the Hapsburgs and as Austria had been the dominant state in the empire. it is by no means unfit ting to regard the present Austrian empire as the direct successor of the Roman empire and the grandson of Francis IT, Of Rome as the remote suc- eessor of Augustus.
 To paraphrase MT. Bryce. we may say that in is4s. when the inept Fer dinand was compelled to abdicate his throne, there were probably few who imagined that the imid and untfisd lad who succeeded htn beginning the longest and one of the, mostatm- portapt yeigns.. in the htst2rys of the HapsbYrgs or of the eastern. empire.

In reply to the request made by the Valdez Commercial Club to the De- partment of the Interior that the troops at For Liscum remain at the post and that the reported intention of the War Department to abandon the post be not carried out because of the vast government interests in this locality, Secretary Fish received the following le ter from H. 0. Hert- land, adjutant general of the army:
 II have the honor to acknowledge receipt, by reference from the Inter for Department, of your letter of May 6, 1914, in regard to the retention of troops at Fort Liscum, Alaska, and in response thereto to inform you that the department has no pres ent intention of abandoning Fort Liscum, but that in view of the fact that it has been decided to reduce the garrison of the posts in Alaska by relieving the 30th Infantry by one battalion of the 14th Infantry, di- rections were given on the 9th in stant for the First battalion of that resiment to sail from Seattle, Wash inston not earlier than June 25, 1914, for that purpose, and Fort Liscum will be garrisoned by a detachment from Fort Seward"

NURSES HERE ARE BETTER.
In Many Respects This Country Leads, While In Others There Is Room For Great Improvement - Seaside Sani- tariums Beneficial For Bone or GIanduIar Tuberculosis Patients.

Wallingford, Conn. The state of Connecticut. which has been birding itself on the excellence of its institu- tions for the fight against tuberculosis, has much to learn from Germany, ac- cording to the report of pr. Stephen J. Maher of New Haven. chairman of the state tuberculosis commission. Dr. Maher went to Berlin to attend the recent conference. and his report to Governor Baldwin shows in what re- spects Connecticut is remiss.
 First of all he pleads for a seaside sanitarium. Germany, Dr. Maher says. leads the world in the number and variety of its sanitariums. This is large ly due to the fact that half or more of the population is enrolled in sickness and disability insurance companies; hence it is advantageous to the organ izations to cure their tuberculosis pa tients as soon as possible.
 American sanitarium equipment con- pares favorably with that which Dr. Maher saw abroad. The German sani- tariums are of brick or stone, while in this state they are entirely of wood. The grounds about German institutions

Rameses H., Sesostris of the Greeks,
 Believed to Have Ruled For Sixty
 seven Years-Other Long Reigns
 Shrouded In Doubt and Mystery.
 Still Others Were Not Actual Reigns.
 Brussels.-The longest actual reign in thirty centuries and more is what the world tias just observed-the six ty-tifth anniversary of the accession of Francis Joseph. emperor of Austria. There are, indeed. only four longer reigns in the history of the world, and one of them is problematic. while two others were, in part. merely nominal. The primacy must be given to that Pharaoh who entertained Abraham. He is said to have reigned ninety-nine years, but who knows?
 Harnesses H.. however, the Sesostris of the Greeks. is credibly believed to have reigned sixty seven years. and that was, as stated. more than thirty centuries ago. Since then Louis XIV. of France. Dieudonne. Le Grande Monarque, was king for seventy-two years, but as he was only five years old at his succession and had to let Mazarin rule until he was twenty-one he actually occupied the throne for only fifty-six years.
 Juba of Numidia, too. was entitled to the throne for sixty-six years, but really occupied it only fifty. Victoria's long reign counted less than sixty-four years and James of Aragon's only sixty-three. No others surpassed threescore. and only eight more ex- ceeded a half century-Henry IIl..
