London Grammar.
Professor Kuhnemann of the Univer
sity of Berlin was tremendously im
pressed, on his recent visit to Boston,
with the learning of Boston’s women
"From the highest to the lowest
class," Professor Kuhnemann said at
the Lorraine, “I find the women of
Boston marvelously learned. To find
a scholar's daughter learned Is not sur
prising, but when one finds learning In
a hodcarrler’s daughter, ono can’t but
be Impressed.”
Professor Kuhnemann smiled
thoughtfully.
"How different things are in Loiv
don,” he said. “Thero I once overheard
a cook correcting the grammar of a
house maid.
" 'Don’t say “ax,” you wulgar crit
ter,* corrected the cook; ‘sav
"harsk." ’"

Stolen Antiquities.
It is asserted by good authority that
nearly all the rare art antiquities to
be found In the museums of various
countries have at some time In their
history been the possession of thieves.
Valuable vestments and rare old paint- |
ings are stolen every year from
churches where they aro valued more |
highly than gold of their own weight.
A gentleman well versed In such
matters tells us that Napoleon stole
the noso from off the Sphinx that he
might carry It home as a relic to be
placed in a curio museum. And had
not the Pyramids been of such pro
portion and weight they would now
be gracing the different museums of ‘
the world, reposing In fragments In
glass-fronted cases.

NEW KING OF SWEDEN
6UBTAVUB TAKES AFTER FATHER
IN MANY REBPECTB.
Natural Tastes Run to Books and
Literature —Queen a Descendant
of Old Royal Line and an
‘Excellent Housewife.
London.—Gustavus, the new king of
Sweden, would If his natural tastes
had been gratified have been far hap
pier with his books, his pootry and
his day dreams, than head of his na
tion at a critical time like thlß. Ab
a youth his dreamy, contemplative dis
position was a source of some concern
to hla father, the late King Oscar,
who feared the lad would grow up a
mere dreamer instead of the man of
action who was wanted on the throne.
To counteract this tendency, he sent
Gustavus to live the simple life In
the country, to hunt, to fish, to ride
and to sail a yacht. The young prince
took to these sports with avidity and
when he returned to the capital
the king saw that there was some
good stuff In him. His own disap
pointment with Gustavus was that the
lad had no liking for military mat
ters and delayed as long as possible
his entry Into the army.
Gustavus resembled his father In
many respects. He had the same
taste for poetry and literature, the
same linguistic ability, the same love
for the simple life Inherited from their
peasant ancestors, and the same mag
nificent voice. Oscar used to lead
the singing when the people met on
any patriotic celebration, and It is
probable that Gustavus will do the
■ same.
I Gustavus is fortunate in having such
a wife as Queen Victoria. It Is well
for the security of his throne that she
■ la a descendant of the old royal lino
of Sweden, the house of Holstein-Got
! torp, and for the first time since
Uernadotte, the peasant, Napoleon’s
i marshal, ascended the throne of Swe
den, has It been shared by one of the
legitimate dynasty. The queen is also
KING GUBTAVUB OF SWEDEN.
full cousin to the German emperor,
and the daughter of the grand duchess
of Baden. Her parents, following the
example of the royal family of Eng
land, brought her up to all the duties
of a housewife, and she can knit, sew,
darn and cook as well as any woman
In Sweden. As a girl she has often
cooked for the kaiser, and he was al
ways glad to have her do so. Her
drawing and painting show some
{ traces of genius, and she is also an
! accomplished musician. Some ten
j years ago she fell Into bad health, her
| lungs being affected, and she had to
go to the south of Europe to recup
erate. While there she spent a con
■ siderable time in Rome, and was an
| honored visitor at the Vatican when
j ever she went to visit Pope Leo. Of
i late years- she haß become quite ro
■ bust.
Such is the couple who will rule
over Sweden, a couple who would in
I private life attract very little notice
except perhaps for their devotion to
each other. They are both simple
minded and natural, and deeply Im
i bued with the traditions of the people
| and of their race. The laws will be
administered against evildoers Just as
| rigidly as they were under the stern
King Oscar, for Gustavus is Inspired
by a sense of duty which completely
dominates his softer nature, and while
yet crown prince he gave it to be un
derstood that laws were meant to be
obeyed, and that they were something
more than mere words. There are
three children, of whom the eldest,
. Crown Prince Gustavus Adolf, is now
1 25 years of age. He is married to an
j English princess, and thus the house
of Bernadotte which was looked upon
with quiet contempt for many years
by the ruling houses of Europe, Is
now allied to two of the most power
i ful of them.
Autos for Arotic Explorers.
No fewer than six automobiles, pat
terned after the euphoniously named
Long Island Scooter, are said to be
building for various Arctic explorers,
who will use them in attempts to
reach the pole during the summer of
1 1908. Two of them are under con
! structlon for Dr. Frederick A. Cook of
Brooklyn, who once accompanied
, Peary, and a third Is for Anthony Fi
! ala of Ziegler expedition fame, while
! the remainder are for other expedi
tions.

BILDS NEW AEROPLANE.
Henri Farman, Frenchman, to Contest
for SIO,OOO Prize.
Paris. —Henri Farman, the French,
man, who recently achieved so suc
cessful a flight In his aeroplane, has
formally entered to contest with San
tos-Dumont for the Deutsch-Arch dea
con Orand Aviation Prize. In order to
win the prize, which is valued at
about SIO,OOO, the amateur must arise
free from the ground and in clear
flight from the line of departure de
termined by two posts about 165 feet
apart, fly around a post erected at a
distance of about 1,650 feet, re
turning to the point of departure.
On the first attempt made by M.
Farman to gain the prize in the pres-
Farman and His Aeroplane.
ence of the official commission of the
Aero club of France he made several
Ineffectual trials to arise, but finally
appeared to be In clear flight. Un
fortunately some of the ropes con
nected with his aeroplane grazed the
soil, and the commission found it Im
possible to make the award.
Another attempt was made after
Santos-Dumont had a trial, when M. 1
Farman succeeded in making numer
ous flights of from about 1,000 feet to
about half a mile. However, on each
occasion he failed to achieve the prize
because he did not succeed In coming
back to the point of departure. The
consistency of his results, however,
has been regarded as remarkable,
putting him at once In the front rank
of the few who have obtained even
creditable flights with aeroplanes.
In order to dispute the prize with
M. Farman, M. Santos-Dumont has
constructed a new aeroplane, num- i
bered 19, for in this way he dis
tinguishes his airships and at the
same time confesses his enormous In
terest in the sport, for probably no |
person before the time of Santoi-Du- |
mont has built so many aerial ma
chines.
With this machine he succeeded In
covering about 650 feet, or lead' than
half the required distance, to say
nothing of the demand that the con
testant shall return to the point of;
departure. As the case now stands It
is generally believed that Henri Far
man has the better chance of win
ning the grand prize, which really
means more than the acquisition of
SIO,OOO, for It will be an achievement
which may have far reaching effects
on the problem of aerial flight.

Greatest Use of Brass.
According to the American Machin
Ist the greatest single consumption of
brass Is for condenser tubes, a battle
ship alone having from 30,000 pounds
to 40,000 pounds of condenser tubing
in It, and, owing to the corrosive ef
fect of sea water, this tubing must
continually be replaced. The material
used Is usually either Muntz metal —
60 per cent copper, 40 per cent zinc—
or else a mixture of copper, 70 zinc,
29 and tin 1.

Discharged Because Doctors Could Not
Cure.
Levi P. Brock way, 8. Second Axe.,
Anoka, Minn., says: "After lying for
five months In a hos
pital I was dis
charged as Incurable,
and given only six
months to live. My
heart was affected, I
had smothering
spells, and some
times fell uncon
scious. I got so I
couldn’t use my
arms, my eyesight
was impaired and the kidney secre
tions were badly disordered. I was
completely worn out and discouraged
when I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, but they went right to the cause
of the trouble and did their work well.
I have been feeling well ever since.”

Life Baved by Cutioura.
”1 have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure It. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the ,
knee, my foot was like a piece of raw
flesh, and I had to walk on crutches.
I bought a set of Cutlcura Remedies.
After the first two treatments the ;
swelling went down, and in two ;
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cutlcura for his own patients. I have
now been cured over seven years, and

might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B.

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out a Faw
Facts Generally Overlooked.
As a matter of fact, It is obvious j
that more crimes are committed by '
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason tthat many offenses j
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter, i
One such crime Is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are 775 wife murderers In the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonlclde, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And !
forget not the lesser felonies and mis
demeanors. How could a single man
elope with his wife’s sister? How j
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he flirt with bis wife’s maid? How
could, he be accused of non-support?
What incentive Is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brother-in
law -at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy—as all bachelors are —
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
; burgle or fight?—Baltimore Sun.
