LUXEMBOURG REPRESENTED
AT WASHINGTON

Luxembourg. latest and smallest of
the countries of the world to send a
diplomatic representative to the Unit
ed States, has ruler with better
popular title to her throne than per-
haps any other reigning monarch.
Though the little grand duchy is
smaller even than Rhode Island, it has
a history reaching farther into the
past than many of the great nations
among which it now takes place.
1t has been buffeted about like shut
tlecock by the countries that hem 1t
in, and at one time or another during
the past thousand years has been un-
der the control of nearly every one of
the principal nations of the western
part of the continent.
While part of the Holy Empire,
Luxembourg furnished an emperor for
the German throne. Count Henry ~
of Luxembourg was elected TO that po-
sltion in 1908 as Henry VII. LuXem-
burg later came under the control of
Burgundy and then fell successfully
TO Spain, Austria and the first French
republic. 1t remained under the SOW
ereignty of the king of the Neither
lands from 1915 to the accession of
Queen Wilhelmina in 1890. when the
existence of the Salic luw-that anti
feminist outburst of the old warrior
Franks-brought the grand duke Of
Nassau to the throne.
Even while the king of the Neither
lands was sovereign of LuXemburg, il
was Il member of the German confed-
Grafton, with the city Of Luxembourg
garrlsoned by Prussian soldiers. Re
tention of this garrison In the city after
the division of old Luxcmburg between
Holland and Belgium In 1881, and es-
pecially after the dissolution of the
German confederation in 1866, almost
caused the Franco-Prussian war to
start three years ahead of time. The
matter was compromised by an agree
ment for the withdrawal of the Ger
man troops, and the demolishment of
the fortifications of the city of Luxem-
burg, so strong that the fortress was
known as "the Gibraltar of the North
In addition the grand duchy was set
up as an independent state with its
neutrality guaranteed. like that of Bel

was one of the scraps of paper' of
1914.
During the World war Luxembourg
was practically prisoner to Germany,
but because the Inhabitants did not
resist, the Germans treated them with
a certain degree of consideration. The
sympathIes of the people were with
France, however, and several thousand
Luxemburgians served with the tri-
color. This popular sympathy for
France and the belief that the reign
ing Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide,
had pro- German leanings made her un-
popular. After the armistice brought
about the retirement of the Germans.
a bloodless revolution broke out, and
Luxemburg added another to Its long
list Of sovereignties by being a repub-
lie for few brief hours. Conserva-
tive elements brought about the abdi-
cation of the grand duchess in favor
of her sister Charlotte, the present
ruler, and by liberalizing the consti-
tuition. Marie Adelaide has entered
convent and become Carmelite nun.

product was patterned after the tap
estries for which Brussels was famous
for centuries.
In addition to its weaving Brussels
gained renown for its lacemaking, and
its needle-made laces still find their
way all over the civilized world in
Guiding considerable quantity to the
United States. The feminine culture
of feudal times sought to express in
the delicate designs of filmy fabric
what men wrought In the lace-like
architecture of its cathedrals.

Efforts of the American and Canadi-
nu governments to save the bison
which was slaughtered almost 10 the
point of eXtermination-are described
by c. Gordon Hewitt in Natural HIS
tory, the official magazine of the mu-
scum of that name. Mr.. Hewitt Is

the manner in which the total loss
Of this magnificent animal has been
prevented should fill with hope and
confidence all who are trying TO con-
serve wild life.
There were literally myriads OF
buffalo in the old days and their hap-
itat originally covered nearly all of the
North American continent. Even as
late as 1871 there was seen migrating
across the plains II wedge-shaped herd
on n 25-mile front with depth of %
miles; such drove could contain no
fewer than 100000 head.
DR.. william L. Hornaday, director
Of the New York Geological park, says
in a pamphlet that the original range
started almost at tide water on the
Atlantic coast, extended westward
through dense forest, across the AL
legheny mountain system to the Mis-
sissippi prairies, and southwark to
the delta. Although the plains coun-
try of the West was the home of the
species, where 1t flourished most
abundantly, 1t wandered south toward
Texas, westward across the Rocky
Mountains into New Mexico, Utah and
Idaho, and northward across n vast
treeless waste to the inhospitable
shores of the Great Slave Lake. The
vast herds seemed to clothe the prair-
les with coat of brown.
George Catlin. in book in 1889,
said from 10000 to 100000 robes were
marketed annually, which meant the
slaughter of from 100000 to 3,Ooo,-
100 bison. About the same time Ere
mont bore witness to the appalling de-
struction.
The death knell of the bison was
struck when Union Pacific construc-
ion began in 1866. Previously the
difficulties of marketing served as n
slight check on the rate of extermina-
lion. This railroad divided the orig
inal body into southern and northern
herds. Hornaday estimates that in
1871 the southern herd contained b.
100000 animals, though most estimates
give higher total. Between 1871 and
1878 the great southern herd was
wiped out of existence.
Final slaughter of the northern herd
was inaugurated by the opening of
the Northern Pacific in 1880. when the
half-breeds of Manitoba. the Plains

At birth each tiny tooth lies partly

The time of cutting teeth varies so
in different children that 1t is difh-
cult to lay down rules for their ap-
pearance. However, a child one year
of age has as a rule eight teeth; at
sixteen months there should be
twelve teeth. and at two and one-half
