The Baroness de Baye's Letter Accusing
the German CrOUp Prince

the last boxes in the haste of retreat.
Our old servitors, who had remained
faithful to their duty, wept. 1t was
something of their soul that was being
carried away to Germany. God did not
allow the imperial burglar to massacre
them in the chapel, which. he did not
have the time to burn.
He laughed, it appears, as he looked
at the Virgin-the Virgin whose pro-
lection saved the ancient dwelling. He
laughed, as his abominable father was
to laugh at the moment when the
cathedral Of Rheims was burning. And
to record his passage ne crushed with
his dirty boot on the threshold of the
chapel leading to the pillaged museum,
the portraits of the Car and Czarina.
The Crown Prince, a witness of the
burglary writes me, caused the as
sistant of the village locksmith Marmet
to be sent for, and with a revolver at
his throat made him pack up the
plumber. Then, under a strong escort.
the locksmith's workman had to drive
the wagons containing the boxes to
Rethel.

Mr.. Cohen went to see how it was getting
on. He found that all his tapestries had
been stolen. The servants told him that
the officers took two new wagons from the

xV3HAT sort OF teaching in the pub
NJ lie schools has real educational
" value? Are the things which
many old-fashioned parents contemptu-
ously criticise as "fads and frills" wrong
ly included in the school course?
Professor M. v. O'Shea, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, discusses this ques-
ton in a recent issue of Popular Science
Monthly, and draws this conclusion:
Topics Of study Of importance a hun
dred years ago may be of relatively little
importance to-day. On the other hand, on
account of changing social conditions,
many topics and subjects may be of
worth to-day which would have been Of
little account hundred years ago."
The severest critics who make the "fads
and frills" charge lose much Of their as
surance when closely questioned. Such
critic was asked whether the teaching
of history was fad" "Of course not"
he said. 'Is the reading of English class

News has also reached us that the
Baronesss niece, the Countess de Beau.
recueil who was Mile. de Queen, also had
ner place at Rouzieres pilaged by the Ger
mans. 1t was burnt down and Jewels
worth $4,000 disappeared, including all
her wedding presents. The Countess was
only married last May and her husband
Count Pierre de Beaurecueil, is an officer
OF cavalry at the front
The sisters of the Baroness are the
Countess de Queen and the Maruuise de
Lentilhac, and are, like her. leaders of
french society. The Countess de Quelen
has established a Red Cross hospital at
her Chateau at Montereau, where $50
wounded soldiers are cared for, and she
is in constant attendance
THE Marquise de Lentilhac has two
sons at the front, the Marquis de Lentilhac
and Count CASTOR de Lentilhac and her
son-in-law, Count Pierre O'Connor The
Lentilhacs are very ancient family. St
Jean Lent1ihac was one of the first knights
to mount the walls of Jerusalem with Guy
of Lusignan during the Crusades in 1885.
The town of Lentilhac, in the south of
France, is the birthplace of the family. The
late Marquis de Lentilhac was a chamber
lain of Pope Leo the KILL. and so was
Baron Robert Oppenheim, brother of the
Baroness de Baye."
A distinguished French lawyer, NJ
Clunet, examined the complaint of the
Baroness de Baye and decided that the
Grown Prince, if guilty, would be subject
to court martial and severe punishment
This authority argued that the Prince
would be subject to punishment equally by
German and by French military laws. He
quoted various provisions of German mill
tary codes, among them the following
Article 27.-The arbitrary taking of
booty, the injury or destruction Of foreign
property from malice or for amusement
the oppression of the inhabitants of the
country, will receive the most severe pun
ishment. From "A Text Book of Military
Instruction" by Colonel Won Unger, of the
German General Staff
Crown Prince Frederick William, against
whom this astonishing accusation is aimed
Is now thirty-two years old and is rather
noted for his erratic conduct. In his ex
IRENE youth his love affairs were the Cos
sip of cosmopolitan society. In recent
years he has made himself more remark
able by his violent eruptions into pubic
and political affairs, which have brought
him into conflict with his father, the
Kaiser. He has been reprimanded more
than once by the Kaiser, and was for
time banished from Berlin.
The accusation of the Baroness de Baye
was oenied by the German Ambassador at
Rome in behalf of the government.
1t is notable fact that other charges of
pillaging have been brought against the
kaiser's family. A correspondent of the

Jefferson Davis Cohen, an American, who
owns the Chateau de Claimant near Seniis
says that his chateau was occupied by
General Won Kluck's staff during the battle
of the Marine.
In this chateau, Mr. Cohen says, he once
entertained the Kaiser's sister, Princess
Charlotte Of Saxe-Meiningen. He also has
been an intimate friend of Prince Henry

Parents Need Education.

The teaching of sex hygiene to children is by no means generally ap- proved and one great church has set it's fact against the communicating of this knowledge to the young. Medical authorities, among them the New York Medical Record, hold that sex hygiene should be taught not to the young, but to their parents, who, as a rule, are themselves ignorant regard ing this subject. Parents" says the Record should be taught sex hygiene and they should be taught to i'm part that knowledge gradually and at the proper time, according to the maturity of their own children. The child should get as much of this knowledge as it is able to appreciate from it's physical and environmental development. There will then be no danger of experiment and abuse from discussion of the subject among the children. It is the adult who must be FTelucated if he does not already know"

Does a Meter Reader Work?

Few people realize how many mo
tions meter readers have to &C
through in collecting the information
necessary for making up electric
bills. Some interesting facts are
brought out in the analysis of a
meter readers movements in town
of $4,000 people, as presented in the
Electrical World.
The data show that 2S hours was
required in reading 7S0 meters. Dur
ing that time 6S1 stairs were climbed
and 1867 doors had to be opened. In
travelling from one consumers house
to the next the meter reader trav'
ersed 304 blocks and crossed streets
314 times,
These figures suggest that consid-
erable time could be saved the men,
while inconvenience could be spared
the customers, if meters were in
stalled in more accessible places,
such as, for instance, on back porches.

Every Woman a Nurse.

Every woman, or at least almost
every woman, has, at one time or an
other of her life, charge of the per-
sonal health of somebody, whether
child or invalid-in other words, every
woman is a nurse. Every day sani-
tary knowledge, or the knowledge Of
nursing, or, in other words, of how to
put the constitution in such state
that it will have no disease, or that
it can recover from disease, takes
a higher place. 1t is recognized as
the knowledge which every one ought
to have-distinct from medical knowl-
edge, which only a profession can
have.
If, then, every woman must at some
time or other in life, become nurse,
i. e., have charge of somebody's health,
how immense and how valuable would
be the product of her united expe-
rience if every woman would think
how to nurse-Florence Nightingale

GIVES VIEW OF THE OCEAN
Periscope, "Eye of the Submarine" Is
In Many Respects Remarkable
Invention.

The great fault of the early subma'
rines was that they could not see once
they were below the surface of the
water. The invention of the periscope
altered all that, and gave the modern
submarine a marvellous eye by means
of which it could see over the surface
of the ocean, though the body of the
submarine is completely below the
waves.
The eye of the submarine is a
straight, hollow tube starting from the
steering chamber of the vessel, and
projecting above the surface of the
waves when the boat is submerged.
AS the periscope is only matter Of
six inches in diameter, and only pro
jects some 1S inches above the waves
it is most difficult thing for an enemy
to see. It's total length is about II
feet.
The submarines eye is really com
bination of telescope and camera OBJ
scura. At the top is powerful lens
and inside, at intervals all the way
down, is a series Of mirrors which
carry the reflection Of what is above
the surface to the watcher in the sub
marine Is feet below.

OWES HIS LIFE TO MEASLES
Man Afflicted With Tuberculosis and
Given Up to Die Has the Laugh
on the Doctors.

If the doctors have given you up
to die. of tuberculosis, don't do it, but
go and get dose of the measles, and
when you have recovered from the
combination you will not have any
tuberculosis, and will be as likely to
outlive the doctor as he will be to
outlive you. This may seem like
peculiar remedy, but a man named
Trotter, who was given up to die by
his physician, has outlived the doctor.
Trotter was of a jolly disposition,
and kept on his feet and out of doors
large part of his time, but it finally
became only question of days, and
was so recognized by the sick man
and all his friends. About this time
an epidemic of measles broke out in
the neighborhood, and as Trotter had
never had the disease the doctor ad-
vised him to leave the locality, as to
contract it would surely kill him.
Trotter replied: well, Doc, you say
Use gwine to die anyhow; | reckon
I'll jes stay to hum with the ole wo-
man an die with good taste in my
mouth" He got the measles and had
it from the crown of his head to the
soles of his feet. The disease re-
mained with him as long proportions
ately as he was physically Che was
six feet and four inches talD, but
despite the doctors prognosis he got
well and when he was well of the
measles he was we'll of the tubercu-
losis, and though the doctor told him
one lung was gone and half of the
other one, he persisted in remaining q
well man, and outlived the doctor and
nearly all his neighbors. 1t would be
heroic remedy for man given W
to die to seek, but Trotter's philos
ophy proved to have better founda
ton than that of the doctor who hat
done all that his education and ez
perience enabled him to do.

Nowhere in the world" writes a

rare plants and trees as in New Zea-
land. 1t is declared that no average
florist would find himself at home in

thing is different. Another popularity
of the country is the fact that al
though so close together. the flora of
New Zealand and that of Australia are
totally different. New Zealand has
very few towering trees ana plants.

oriuin of Gibraltar.

The "tar" in Gibraltar" is a con.
traction of Taric or Tariff, the name Of
a famous pirate of medieval times
The whole word may be translated as
mountain or cliff of Taric." This same
root "tar" occurs in the word tariff, I"
which has such familiar sound to
most of us now Taric after time
came to levy tax or tariff on passing
vessels instead of robbjng them out.

had it's origin. 1t is interesting to note
also that this robber was further hon
ored by having the town of Tariffa
