med and Divided.
FIRST PARTITION IN YEAR 1872

The Poland of 1715 was larger
than any other European country,
with the exception of Russia. To-
day it has no political entity. Two
centuries ago its domain reached
from the Baltic to the Carpathians.
and stretched from east TO west for
distance of approximately 600
miles.
The first partition of Poland came
in 1872, when Prussia and Austria,
alarmed by the progress of Russia
in Poland. suggested as a means of
maintaining the equilibrium of Eu-
rope. that all three powers readjust
their territories at the expense of
Poland. Poland lay utterly help
less. She lost about one-fith of
her population and one-fourth of
her territory. The second partition,
in 1898. reduced Poland to one
third of her original dimensions,
with a population of about $780,
600. A third treaty of partition was
signed in 1896. The Congress of
Vienna in 1915 divided Poland be-
tween Prussia, Austria and Russia,
with the exception of Cracow.
which was erected into a republic
imbedded in Galicia. Posen and
Gnesen. with a population of S1O,-
600, were left to Prussia. Austria
with its 100000 inhabitants.
Lithuania and the Ruthenian Palat-
mates continued to be Incorporated
as the so-called Congress kingdom,
under the Emperor of Russia as the
King of Poland.
In the same year Car Alexander
l. granted the new kingdom a con-
stitution, which declared it to be
united to Russia, in the person of
the Car. as separate political
entity Poland retained its flag and
a national army. In 1880, following
the outbreak of the French revolu-
ton. military revolt took place in
Warsaw. This war lasted for 10
months and at its conclusion the
Congress kingdom was reduced to
the position of Russian province.
The last remaining remnant of Po-
lands separate political existence
was Cracow and it was finally oc-
cupied by Austrian in 1916. The last
attempt of the Poles to achieve in
dependence was In 1868. Ii was
marked by no real battle and the
uprising was soon depressed. The
national history OF Poland closes
with this attempt at freedom. In
1868 by ukase of the Emperor of
Russia the Government was alb
solutely incorporated with that of
Russia and the use of the Polish
language in public places and for
public purposes was prohibited.

NO TWO PINE CONES ALIKE
Remarkable Fact 10 That the Largest
Of the Seventy Known Species
Has the Smallest

The great redwoods of California,
first cousins of the "big trees" bear
the smallest cone of all. II looks
like a mere dot compared with the
big sugar pine cones, which are some
times two feet long. The cone Of
the big trees is almost as small.
Few pine cones range. so tiny as
these. The sugar pine is the most
splendid of the pines in size and
shape and beauty, and its enormous
cones are approached in size only by
those of the Coulter pine, which
often weigh several pounds. 1t is
one of the cones with sharp hooks,
such as are seen in the common pitch
pines of the north of the United
States. The Digger pine cone is an
other large one, with hooks, but it
is round instead of the usual cone
shape. This was named from the
Digger Indians, who roast the cone
till the nuts inside of it come out.
There are over seventy species of
pines, each with cone different
from all the rest. Some of the other
pines that have interesting cones are:
Lodgepole pine, or tamarack; Doug
las spruce, Monterey cypress, pinon
pines, one-leafed and four-leafed;
mountain hemlock, yellow pine, west
ern white pine, Timber pine, Torrey
pine, white birch, knob-cone pine,
prickle-cone pine, Monterey pine,
Sitka spruce and jeffrey pine.-St.

UPLIfT ALSO FOR THE RICH
Poor Of the Cities Have Their Evening
Schools, and the Wealthy Their
COED Coachers.

A report of the busy employment
bureau of the University of Chi
cago incidentally lets us into GER
tain secret and curious transactions,
relates the Record-Herald. Among
the means of earning money while
studying is quietly mentioned the
teaching of correct speech and gram
mar by co-eds to women of newly
acquired wealth and sudden transit
ton to a high social position. In
some cases such women feel the need
Of an upward revision of their vocab-
ularies and their syntax. Who so
discreet and useful as the young and
nice coed from another state who is
working her way through college?
In one of Maugham's delightful
farce-comedies one of the newly rich
women, when reminded Of her grave
linguistic slips and lapses saws
grandly that she can afford to vio-
late grammar. In actual life, appar-
emily, few now feel that any amount
of wealth justifes defiance of gram
mar and correct usage. Indeed, the
greater the wealth acquired, the
greater the obligation to rise to a
cultural level worthy of it. Noblesse
oblige; likewise riches and power.
And very likely the feeling of obli-
cation is strengthened by the fear
Of ridicule.
What with evening schools for the
poor and coed instruction for the
newly rich, the cause of universal ed
ucation and culture is assured Of
rapid advances.

PRINCE HENRY A DRUMMER.

Commenting on the visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to South America,
Berlin cable to the London Times
says it is regarded as of the utmost
importance in German naval circles
that Germany shall improve her
standing in South America, and in
particular that she shall obtain the
orders for ships the absence of which
has always been a check upon the
elasticity and resources of the Ger
man building yards and indirectly
a check upon the naval expansion of
Germany herself. The kaiser has re-
peatedly interested himself in this
matter. Prince Henry will be ex-
pected to play the role of a royal
drummer.

NOTED AMERICAN SCHOLAR.

Boston. He was distinguished for
his brilliant scholarship, having
studied abroad after his graduation
from Harvard in 1882. He was Or
dained as a Unitarian minister in
1888 and preached in Mobile, Ala,
until forced to leave the city in 1910
because of the expression of his anti
slavery sentiments from the pulpit.
He then spent several years in Ger
many. On his return to the United
States he became pastor of a church
in Springfield, Mass, but was obliged
to resign in 1851 for denouncing an
assault made upon an anti-slavery
agitator by a mob of Springfield
men. At the time of his death in
1855 he was pastor of a church in

Other Properties Active.
On the Black Traveller, Packer
creek copper property. Al Roof and
William Forman, both of Mullan, are
employed Two men are also employ
ed on the Saltese Consolidated, adj
joining the Black Traveller and own
ed principally in Spokane.
Two men went up to the Bryan, on
the west fork of Packer creek, last
week, presumably to do assessment
work on some unpatented ground. The
Bryan Is owned by Chalres Burns and
the Day interests Of this city. and It
is understood that 1t has a large body
of high grade silver ore.
The Syndicate group. lying west Of
the Bryan and also said to be high
grade silver property, is largely own
ed In this city. Among the heavy
owners are Fred Steers, B. 0. Skon-
nord and Morton Webster. Mr.. Steers
and another man are now at the prop
erty, but 1t is believed that no work
beyond the annual assessment is be-
ing done at this time.
Electric Power.
1t is understood In Saltese that the
electric power line Of the Montana
Power company, which will transmit
power from the Thompson Falls plant
for use of the Milwaukee railroad, will
come down Packer creek to- connect
with the railroad at Saltese. IF this
proves true, It will be a great advan-
tage to the mining property owners,
as 1t will bring electric power within
easy reach and in many cases will be
the means of materially reducing the
expense of mining operations.
