Government Kept Down Prices.

The president of Guatemala has, to
a considerable extent, solved the prob
lem Of the high cost of living, at least
in so far as the poorer classes of
Guatemala City and Quezaltenango,
the two principal cities of the republic,
are concerned. BY his supervision the
price Of bread is kept to a minimum,
and there are government warehouses
for the sale of rice, corn, potatoes and
bananas, all at fixed prices, for the
benefit Of the poor people of the two
cities named, according to a report
from United States Consul James @.
Reat. The poems or the poorer class
OF the Inhabitants Of the republic, rep
resent fully rs per cent of the total
population.
For their benefit the government of
Guatemala in September, 1914, shortly
following the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, inaugurated a system of
government purchase and distribution
Of flour at and below cost, which has
been effective in checking the tendency
Of increased prices.

.UPsALA CENTER Of SWEDEN
country's Most Ancient City, and
Vastly Rich In the Nations
History and Tradition.

In all things save the most modern,
Upsala is the center of Sweden. In
point of education, Of religion and Of
history and tradition, this little city
overshadows Stockholm. II Is so old
that the old gods themselves are said
to be buried there.
Old Upsala lies a mile or two away
from the more modern city; II is set
upon the very ashes Of other times.
Digging in the earth underfoot brings
to light the crude implements Of
people. our knowledge of whom is little
more than theory, as well as the better
fashioned weapons that the Norsemen
of the early centuries knew how to
WELD so well. There are three great
mounds or barrows still left at old Up
sala, and these are sometimes said to
be the tombs of three of the old gods
of Morse mythology.
The present city of Upsala is cut in
two by the River Fyris. On the slop-
ing hill to the westward, surrounded
by less important buildings, stand the
greatest cathedral and the greatest uni
versity in Sweden. The other half of
the city is given over to modest dwell
ings, but from any vantage point on
the hillside they make a pretty sight
with their Characteristic northern neat
ness and clean lines.
The life of the town is strongly col
ored by the university folk. The stu
dent is readily recognizable by his
black-trimmed white velvet cap; and
he is everywhere, of course, for he
makes up about tenth of the popu-
lation. Your typical Swedish univer-
sity man is an athlete and a songster,
especially noted for his fine, full cho-
ruses. The distant singing of a dozen
lusty young voices on a moonlight win
ter night is one of the most character
istic sounds of Upsala, and one of the
little things encountered here and
there that stick in the memory.
The great brick cathedral is the other
striking institution of Upsala. Here
lie buried several of Sweden's old war
rior kings, and here, too, is the tomb
of Linnaeus the father of botany, who
was professor at the university. Be
fore the tomb of Linnaeus is a recep-
tacle filed deep with the cards of ia
nous men who have visited his tomb.
Indeed, for long it was something of a
custom for European botanists to visit
Upsala on the anniversary of the birth
Of Linnaeus. There is something sin
gularly fitting and attractive in this
idea of science making pilgrimages to
the tombs of her prophets.

Fortunes to Servants.

Recently woman who died in Buck

left her fortune of 100000 to her
coaehman, and the late Lord Burton
left 100000 in annuities to his serv-
ants, while the proprietor of Leices-
ter square restaurant left his woman
bookkeeper close upon 100000. The
dowager duchess of Wilton left several
large requests to her servants, includ-
ing the sum of 100000 to her maid
A Hove surgeon left his fortune to his
housekeeper and the very same year
a lady in the North of England left
her companion 100000 A Liverpool
shipowner left 100000 and remem-
bered in his will every person in his
employ both at home and at the Of
fees. His legacies ranged from ESQ.,
600 to his manager to f100 to his office
boy. Some years ago a British mag
nate, after leading his wife to believe
herself sole legatee, left her one shil-
ling and bequeathed f72,OOO to others,
including 1880 to a servant whom his
wife specially disliked. OF all forms
of petty spite the vindictive will is the
meanest. Now and then someone gets
good reward for short service. A Scot
