CONSIDER GIFT HIGH HONOR
Comparatively Few Persons Are Pre-
scented With the "Freedom of
the City of London"

The freedom Of the city Of London,
with which the prince of Wales was
presented recently Is one of the most
cherished and ancient of civic priv
ileges. The actual document given to
his royal highness is piece of parch-
ment inscribed with his names and
titles and guaranteeing to him and his
descendants many privileges to which
he would not otherwise be entitled.
Thus he will not have to pay tax on
any goods brought within the city
gates, nor will he have to render naval
or military service. Should he fall on
evil lines the prince Of Wales would he
entitled to pecuniary aid. Should he
in the course Of years pass away, leav-
ing children, the city chamberlain
would educate them and administer
their property until they arrive at
years Of maturity. 1t is usual to in
close the freedom" In a gold casket,
which costs the city f100 (s5OO), but
the certificates, in the case Of the
prince OF Wales, will be in a frame
and the casket will be represented by
silver plate. In the case of General
Booth the casket was of simple, sturdy
oak.

Thermometer Trade to u. s.

With adequate labor American man.
ufacturers of thermometers, besides
being able to supply fully the wants
Of the domestic trade, are In n position
to build up good export business,
but, as is the case In so many indus
tries, they are handicapped at present
by the shortage of skilled workers.
The making Of thermometers is mostly
a hand process, with years expe-
rienCe or more necessary for the de-
velOpment of a skilled worker.
Starting in the war period, when
German goods were shut out of the
country, the American thermometer
industry has shown marked advance
ment Before the war Germany con-
trOIled the market here as well as
those in other countries, but nearly all
Of the business formerly held by Ger
many in South America has been pro-
cured by concerns in the United
States. 1t is not believed that Ger
many will regain her position in the
domestic market, and much of the
South American business, it is pre-
dicted, will be held by the American
manufacturers.-New York Tribune.

Fascinating UkuleIe.

Many people, even now, may think
of the ukulele as a Russian province,
or an eastern title, yet 1t happens to
be neither, but a small musical instru-
ment which, according to a writer in
the London Daily Chronicle, recently
baffled the experience even of the
customs man, who refused to recog-
nize it as such and permitted its entry
into England free of duty. The little
South sea ukulele Is not unlike lid
die that you play with your fingers"
to the eye of the uninitiated, but all
who hear it admit its sweetness and
the charm Of its plaintive voice. No
doubt one of these days England will
become aware of the fascination Of
the ukulele, even as America has al
ready done. The customs man will
then exact his legitimate toll, and a
strange, wild music will haunt the
London streets.
