Eltel-Frledrich's penchant for pet mon keys At Potsdam she has a model monke house, containing no fewer than 14 c these animals. One of them escaped a fow weeks ago and wrought great havoc In the Imperial gardens before it was captured. The Counteas of Montlgnosco. whose unhappy marriage to the King of Sax ony ended In her divorce, is said to seek for consolation at having been deprived of her children in the possession of a number of Amerlcsn Iguanas, which she feeds herself. The vegetable bill for her pets la said to amount to 100 marks a week. Another royal lady who has a weak ness for lizards is the Duchess Vera of Wurtomberg, but it is to chameleons that she Is more particularly attached. While still a Rtisnlan Grand Duchess she Indulged In her fancy for these cu rious pets, and with them created a mild sensation at Stuttgart, when in 1677 she was married to the late duke. Accord ing to Herr Krlestler, the duchess is never tired of watching her chameleons shooting out their tongues to a length of six or seven Inches. Princess Hlldegarde of Bavaria, a daughter of Prince Ruppercht, received last month aa a birthday present from the hereditary Grand Duke or MerKlen-burg-Strelltz a PerMnn lynx, or caracal, which he had brought back with him from German East Africa. It Is a handsome bright brown creature, with a long tail, and although naturally fierce In disposition It has learned to take meat direct from the hands of lta royal mistress. The czar's one and only great-aunt, the grand duchess Alexandra Josefovna of Russia, bought two pairs of camels some years ago while on a visit to the Caucasus. According to the Clinton, Iowa, Herald, she devotes much of her time each summer to these somewhat uncommon pets. She has now no fewer than 17 of the animals, and several zoological gardens in various Russian towns have been presented with camels bred upon the Grand Duchess estate. It Is reserved to the Baroness von Heldburg, the morganatic and third wife of Duke George II. of Saxe Meln lngen, to be a royal lover of snakes. She has several of them, and they are so tame that now and then she horrifies her husband's friends by appearing at table with one of the reptiles colled around her neck.

The feelings and opinions of those educated Roman Catholics In Germany who are Interest ing themselves In the movement which is directed In tfce first place against the Index Expurgatorlus are given In two letters published in the "Frankfurter Zeltung." These are both written by Roman Catholics who. It Is asserted, are thoroughly acquainted with the views prevailing among their educated coreli gionists. It is even Intimated that they are members of the clergy in high standing. According to these letters the excite ment aroused by the Schell-Commer af fair la spreading and Increasing.

It Is lleverf that the only outcome of this excitement will be the drawing up of a memorial of papam melius informan dum, In which the monument commit tee will point out the mistaken prem ises on which the papal letter was writ ten. . . The two letters In the "Frankfurter Zeltung" say there is no danger of a split among t.ie adherents of the Roman Cathollo church, but reference Is made to the circumstance that the participa tors In the movement have received In the high schools and universities an education whose essential elements are utterly opposed to the spirit of Ultra montane Catholicism. They recognize above all, says one of the letters, "the principle that Individuality and unfet tered research shall be esteemed. Such n disregard of their personality and of their freedom, aa Is represented by the Index. Is simply Insufferable to them. They ar rather Incited to propound questions concerning the relationship of their church to modern culture and edu cation." This movement among the rising gen eration of Roman Cathollo scholars seems to correspond with ths phase of thoutrht which Is emptying the rroteht- ant churches of worshippers and pro- t OF? OLDENBURG III Apprehension Is Felt Over Health of Frederick Augustus. (Jearasl Special servles.) Berlin, Aug. 21. Considerable appre hension is felt over the health of Fred erick Augustus, tho reigning grand duke of Oldenburg, whoso ilness has thla week taken a turn for the worse. The grand duke will be St years old In No vember. ' 1 Americans should possess an especial Interest for Frederick Augustus, for ha was the first reigning European mon arch who ever vlsiteo) American shores. Three years agJ he spent sevsral weeks in the United States, traveling under the name of "Count Lensahn" and un attended save by a valet He spent some time In New York and also vis ited Washington and Niagara Fall, Apart from his position as sovereign of an Independent state, the Qrand Duke Frederick Augustus Is interesting both on account of the prominent part his family has played In the history of -Europe and on account of his relation ship to many of the reigning monarch of today. His first wife, who died tn 1896, was a cousin of Emperor William, and his second wife Is a sister of tho prince consort of the Netherlands and a half-sister of the widow of the Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia. The house of Oldenburg is one of tho most ancient of Europe. It claims de scent from Wittekind, the celebrated leader of the heathen Saxons against , Charlemagne. Count Dietrich, the For- . tunate of Oldenburg, married in 1424 the daughter of Gerhard VI, the duke of Schleswlg-Holsteln. His eldest son. Christian, was chosen king of Denmark in 1448 and king of Norway two year later. A young son of Dietrich Adolph, son i of Frederick I. of Denmark, founded, tho i ducal line of Gottorp, whoso representa tive, Duke Charles Peter Ulrloh. ascended the Russian throne In 17(1 ' us the Czar Peter III. A gfandnephew of Peter III, Adolph Frederick, was chosen king of Sweden ' in 1851, while a younger brother of , Adolph Frederick becams the founder of the new grand ducal line of Oldenburg, the older line having become extinct in 1667. The third eon of Christian III of Don mark. John the Younger, founded the ducal line of Sonderburg, and a descend ant of John ascended the Danish tfrrono in 1863 as Christian IX, the late king of Denmark. It would perhaps be hard to pick out a European monarch, with tha excep tion of the king of Sweden, the sultan of Turkey and the king of Servla, with whom the grand duke of Oldenburg is not more or less closely related, and possibly even the first-named of these exceptions, the descendant of Berna dotte, could be claimed as a connection by marriage of Frederick Augustus. Not only Is the house of Oldenburg one of the most ancient In Europe, but ' the territory over which the head of the house rules has possessed admtnls- tratlva entity for a considerably longer ' period than the average state.

Upholstery is a detail In connection with the finishing and equipment of the motor car which la at present open to much criticism, says a writer in the London Field. As far as one can Judge from extensive road trials of most of the leading cars of the present season the makers of motor bodies have not taken into consideration the fact that much greater shocks have to be ab sorbed than Is the case with either a horse or railway carriage. In tho front seats hard and shallow cushions are endurable because the oc cupants sit midway between the front and rear axles and therefore feel but little discomfort except a certain amount from the backward and forward motion of the back as the rear axle rises and falls. In the back seat, how ever, which Is usually almost immedi ately over the rear axle, the vertical Jolting is so severe that unless tho springs of the chassis are exceptionally flexible the shocks to one's body are fialnful and even injurious. When one s constantly driving tho discomfort of the rear seat Is apt to be lost sight of, but It was brought home to us very forcibly last week when we had to sit In the bark of a car driven at a fairly fust speed over the rough Belgian cobbles on our way to the Ardennes races. There is still much to be done In the direction of the better springing of back axles, in which respect we know of nothing so perfect as the Lancaster system of suspension; but it la with the application of coll springs to the upholstery and seat cushions that we are at present concerned. We would recommend those who are dissatisfied with the efforts of their coach builders to take counsel with armchair special ists. Recently we Inspected and tried a large number of armchairs In a large furnishing house and found that the seats and backs had springs of at least twice the depth that one finds In the best .motor bodies. All that la necessary Is to sacrifice under the cushions some of the room at present occupied by the locker under neath, so as to get coll springs of nine Inches or ten Inches deep. The backs of the seats should be furnished with similar springs, and by this means the comfort of a badly sprung car can be i increased to an extraordinary extent. clersrv. Greeks Most Be Oood. Recognizing the necessity of putting sn end to the activity or tne Maceaon lan bands sjid as for some time past the Greeks seem to have been the prin cipal offenders, the Porte has addressed strong representations to the Greek government calling attention to the re cent passage of bands across the fron tier and Intimating that It will take vig orous measures against persons in Ma cedonia who abet the movement. The conflicts between Albanians and Montenegrins In the Turco-Montene- rrln frontier district of Mokrva, re anecMng the produce of pasture lands. which are of annual ocourrenee in the summer, are assuming a serious char acter this year. It is reported that five nattaiions or troops have oeen askea for The presentation to the other powers of the scheme of Judicial reform In Macedonia drawn up by Austria-Hun gary ana Russia is expected shortly, Italy Depleted by Bmlgratlon. The depletion of large parts of Italy by emigration has become a serious question, and the last annual report on the subject causes geueral alarm. It Is not merely that the number of Italian emigrants has risen to 786,877, or 60,000 more than In the previous year, but that an Increase is observ able In provinces where hitherto the Inhabitants had been inclined to remain at home. Still, however, the broad features of Italian emigration remain the same; the south Is being yearly deprived of more and more able-bodied men, while Venetla Is little affected by the growing tendency to earn higher wages abroad. In other districts it Is noticeable that people In fairly easy cir cumstances and even small landed pro prietors are quitting the land of their fathers, and the cause of this Is to be sought In the growing cost of living In Italy under modern conditions. In al most every small Italian town there is now an agent of some American ltn-i of steamers, and landlords are com plaining that labor is becoming scarcer. On the other hand, the emigrants in some cases return with their savings, while in others they remit home a large part of their earnings, as was noticed at the time of the CaJabrlan earth quake. All efforts to divert Italian emi gration to the Italian colonies have failed, but Tunisia and the Argentine Republio owe much of their prosperity to the emigrants from Italy. Fear Iniurrsotlon. Serious significance Is attached In Berlin to the announcement made by the deputy governor of Cameroonland of an outbreak of disturbances In the residency of Adamaua. The resident of Adamaua, whose station Is at Garua, has established communication with the resident of the Iake Tchad region, whose station is at Kusseri. The dep uty governor remarks that the distur bances are of a local character, but tha fact that a Fullah Mahdt has ventured an attack on Garua, although he must have known that the place was defend ed by a whole company of protectorate troops romDinea wun me circum stance that the residents have arranged to take Joint action, leads experts to fear that there is a prospect of the Insurrectionary movement spreading from Adamaua northward into the Lake Tchad districts. The two residencies of Garua and Kusseri occupy the north ern third of the protectorate, and have been under direct German administra tion only three years.
