Grand Da8chess olga

HeSse. His mother was Princess Mar
garet, sister to the kaiser, who played
as child at Windsor, with England's
future queen. Today he lies buried
in a rough board coffin, somewhere
near the western front, having died
brave death at Mont Descats.
The prince of Lippe was another one
with whom the g0ssips were once
busy. He also is dead, buried beside
the highway by some passerby who
found him after a battle near Namur.
And those German princes who are
still alive, such as Sigismund, son OF
Prince Henry of Prussia, and his two
brothers, are equally hopeless now.
Sigismund studied aviation and likes
TO ride and play golf. He would have
suited Mary's temperament She is
an out-of-doors girl after the English
type, who spends good deal of her
time in the saddle.
Russia had sutton for Mary's hand.
He was Boris, grand duke of the EN-
pire. But lie grand duked" 1t too much,
got into several nasty squabbles and
was defendant in a notorious libel
suit. So that put him out of the run
ming. Queen Mary is bit against
that sort of thing.
According to one story, Boris, while
in London, said to a lady, who he
\ knew would see that the tale got to
the queens ears:
Madam, If you had the misfortune
to be born a grand duke, yeu, too,
would be drunk from morning until
morning"
But even this piece of humor didn't
melt the queen.
Prince George of Greece is vir-
tuous, intelligent Woodworking young
man, but his father, King Constantine.
Is not favorite In London today ON
account of his pronounced ro-German
policy, while his mother is the sister
of the very kaiser himself. Enough
said, in England of today.
SO the gossips are hard put to it to
find anyone suitable for Princess
Mary. She is nineteen years old.
Still it is not recorded that she is
worrying.
The English gossips have supply
of royal princes for their air castles
which will last good many years.
The prince of Wales has three brothers,
now sixteen, fourteen and eleven years
old, and their matrimonial futures viii

"FIASCo" IS ITALIAN TERM
Believed to Have Originated When
Actor Failed to Score in De-
livery of Favorite SoIiIoquy.

Among Italians, a correspondent in
Rome tells me, the origin of the term
''fiasco" for failure is believed to have
originated in the remark of an old
Italian actor, says writer in the Lon
don Chronicle. He had in the course
of play to deliver a somewhat
lengthy monologue, in which he invar-
iably scored a>great success. 1t was
his habit to always hold some object
or other in his hand, changing the ar
ticle every time he appeared, and
never using the same thing twice.
One evening, seeing a wine bottle
(called in Italian fiasco), he seized it
and proceeded on the stage to pro-
nOunce his soliloquy. Whether it was
that on that occasion the audience was
extraordinarily difficult to please or
whether it was that the actor was
not up to his usual form, the fact
remains that for once he did not OBJ
tain his customary applause and IBIS"
from which time the phrase "fare
flasco" has become general in the Ital-
ian language.

COAST 1851 MILES LONG
Sailors Engaged in Philippine Coast
wise Trade Cannot get Home
to Dinner"

Deep-sea sailors used to laugh at
their brother mariners of the coast
wise trade, and refer to them as men
who "like to go to sea when they
could get home to dinner" This gibe
would have little point in the Philip
pines, the coast line of which has
been found to measure more than H.
600 miles-to be exact, 11,511 statute
miles. In the Philippines there is one
mile of coast to every ten miles Of
area, the total area of the islands be-
ing 115,026 square statute miles.
These figures are interesting when
it is considered that the ratio in the
United States is 232 square miles of
area to one mile Of coast line. The
figures for the United States have ref.
erence to the coast line of the main
part of the country, including islands
lying near the coast, but not including
non-contiguous territory such as
Alaska and Porto Rico. The coast
line of the United States so measured,
with what the experts call "three-
mile steps," is 13,026 miles, less than
1000 miles in excess of the coast line
of our eastern possessions.

the diplomatists and the dowagers
would mass their batteries of argu-
ments in vain.
When quite a young child, Olga de-
clared that no consideration would In
duce her to leave Russia. But time
may have changed that To tell the
truth, foreign marriage with any
other than prince belonging to the
Greek faith for the eldest daughter Of
the czar would be most unpopular at
the present day in Russia, unless it
were with the prince of Wales.
SO much would the Russians he
pleased to see their princesses raised
to the throne of England that even the
religious question would take a sec-
ondary place. Holy Russia, said one
writer recently, would look through
her fingers If one of the daughters Of
the car would consent to embrace the
Anglican faith after her marriage to
the heir of the English crown.
/ Indeed, there has been some talk
since the war began that the English
and Russian churches are not so much
different after all, and it might be a
| good plan to unite them.
The czar's daughters are the great
est matches in Europe at the present
moment, and one must take into con-
sideration, too, the immense fortunes
they will bring to their husbands, in
addition to their personal charm and
position.
For n while there were quite cir
cumstantial stories told to the effect
that the prince was as good as be-
trothed to Yolanda of Italy. but these
have died down, apparently for lack
OF fuel of a substantial order Prin-
cess Marguerite of Denmark is a Cath
Ollie, but that might be fixed up, as
such things are when it suits royalty.
She is very clever and accomplished,
a nurse of ability and fine character.
Her social position, of course, could
not be compared to that of the ears
daughters.
Not much is known here about the
Roumanian Processes. They are said
| TO be charming girls-of course. all
royal princesses are charming, per
Grimm's fairy tales-and the present
queen of Roumania is of English blood.
As to Princess Mary, poor girl. the
war has played havoc with her posi-
BILE sweethearts. She did have real
one in handsome young Grand Duke
Adolph of Mecklenburg-S trelitz. That
was before the war. Adolf is a popu-
lar sportsman, and spent much time in
England. Then Queen Mary took her
daughter TO visit the young mans
mother. The dowager duchess of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz Was pensioner
of the English kingdom and had long
been a friend of the queen.

Why Sheep Have Wool.

If you want to ask sheep where
he got his wool and why, take dog
into mountain pasture band, and il
the sheep are afraid of the dog they
will invariably run uphill rather than
down. You have your answer. The
ancestors of the domestic sheep. like
wild sheep of the present day. lived
among high mountains and needed
their woolly covering to protect them
against the constant cold of high at
mOspheres. They chose the high and
inhospitable region to live ia because
they found the fierce flesh-eating ami
mails of the plains too strong for them
a proof of these facts is that the wool
krows on sheep the year round.
