No broad-minded observer will over
look the significance of the Interest
with which the people of German birth
or descent regarded the recent visit of
l'rlnce Henry. They have made their
homo here, yet they still look back
with fondness to the fatherland. The
sentiment Is altogether admirable and
praiseworthy. It assumes an objec
tionable form only when tho foreign-
born citizens become clannish, when
they set themselves In eroutis anart
from the general body of the people
among whom they live, and transfer
tho politics of tho old country to tho
new. The love for the laud of their
nativity which persists In the breasts
of tho foreign-born does not differ from
the sentiment that has made success
ful tho reunions In various parts of the
country in Old Homo Week. Migration
from Massachusetts to Montana dif
fers only In degree from migration
from Italy to Illinois, and the emigrant
from Ittissla to the United States has

Englander who should put behind him
the tender memories of his boyhood

Therefore wo cannot blame, but wu
ought to applaud, the European who
has a warm place. In his heart for tho

as those sentiments do not exclude, true

It Is stilted by Dr. Alfred ttllllcr In
nn article In The fortnightly ltcvlew
that the deaths from consumption
throughout Europe nre estimated nt
moro than n million annually. In Kng-
laud and Wales alone more than 00.000
people die of the disease every year,
and this annual mortality exceeds by
10.000 nil the ravages of the "Klack
Death" during the time of the Ureal
I'lague which Is so terribly celebrated
lu English history. Tuberculosis is m
fnct the I'lague of to-day, and the doc
tor speaks of It as a "classic" disease
along with the leprosy of the middle
ages and the smallpox of the time be
fore Jenner. It Is thus ranked as one
of three great scourges of the race, but
the very classltleatlou Is a source of
encouragement. Leprosy has praeil
cally disappeared from Europe owtng
to Improved conditions of living aud
the Incidental assistance rendered by
the Isolated leper houses. Smallpox
most contagious of diseases, has be
come but the shadow of Us former self
owing to vaccination. "Wore vaccina
lion and rcvaccluatlon practiced with
the persistence anil regularity which
nearly a century's experience has
shown to be desirable. It Is probable
that It would be practically extinguish
ed." So. too. tuberculosis may yield to
sanitation and other branches of inedl
cal science, aud the method of preven
tion Is exceedingly simple. Taking the
tlgure of seed, soil aud plant to repre
sent the disease germ, mauklud and
the disease, the writer differentiates as
follows: "In leprosy, the mere sowing
of the seed, the exposure to contagion,
has rarely any result except under
most favorable conditions of soli. In
tuberculosis the exposure to Infection
Is usually but by no means so certain
ly as lu the ease of leprosy, without
result except where predisposing con
ditions exist, that Is In favorable con
ditions of soil. In smallpox almost any
unprotected, unvacclnated person ex
posed to Infection runs the greatest
risk of contracting the disease." Llko
leprosy tuberculosis has been affected
by the Improved conditions of life, the
ltrltlsh death rate having declined from
3.S0O In the million In 1S3S to l.:i03
In 1800. but though the soil Is more
resistant the seed is found every
where, and prevention can be secured
only through Its control. That means
the control of the expectoration of In
fected persons which contain the tu
bercle bacilli, and though the task
seems a large one the co-operation of
the patients and the public would make
it easy. The patients themselves might
solve the difficulty by regulating ex
pectorations, and their Ignorance and
carelessness might be corrected by no
tification of the disease to the health
authorities, which Is made compulsory
In Norway. With a public educated to
the necessities of the case and proper
treatment of patients In Sanatoria Dr.
Illlllor thinks that not only the pre
entIon but the absolute suppression of
tuberculosis would be possible.
MANY SPIES OF THE SULTAN.
Turkey Grotrlne Demoralized Under
the Present iclouw System.
In no country and at no time of the
world's history has the spy system been
developed to the point It has attained In
Turkey to-day. It Is a most elaborate
organization and costs an Immense
amount of money. There are spies and
counter-spies, and counter-counter-
spies to the fourth or fifth degree.
Their number Is legion, and they are
to be found In all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest Be
sides the minister of police, almost ev
ery high dignitary has his own service
of spies, says the London Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations, and
spend most of their time In spying and
denouncing each other. AU prominent
persons are closely watched, and fol
lowed even while shopping, and should
they meet another person of note and
exchange a few words, the fact Is care
fully noted. Turks no longer dare as
semble In parties of five or six for the
purpose of spending their evenings to
gether. It Is Impossible for three or
four of them to sit down at a table In
a coffee house without having a spy at
the next. On such occasions they al
ways speak very loud, m that every
body may bear them. Should a Euro
pean converse with a Turk In the
street, a spy will follow them and try
to find out what they nre saying. ,
The result of nil this Is that the
Turks avoid one another's company as
much as possible, und whenever they
do come together the conversation Is
on the most futile subjects, and quite
childish. The Turkish nation Is grow
ing more and more demoralized under
the present system.
Superstitions of Iloyalty.
A few years ago, says London Au
swers, King Carlos of Portugal paid a
lengthy visit to England, and one day
he bad to speak to a gathering of emi
nent people at a reception In tho West
End. The day happened to be a Fri
day, and his majesty was upset to the
point of annoyance. In this nervous
condition be chanced to kick over a
flower not. which fell on the head of a
peer who was sitting below the plat
form. King Carlos apologized profuse
ly, and remarked that, had the day
been Saturday, ho was sure the acc!
dent would not have happened. See
ing, however, that he had not hurt the
peer, be humorously remarked:
"I have been a sportsman an my lire
and bagged much big game; but this Is
tho first time I ever potted the bead of
a Ilrltisb peer."
It Is said that on one occasion the
rrlncess of Wales broke a valuable
looking glass. Next day she seemed
terribly upset, and came with a tear
ful story to her royal uusuand.
"Oh. I in so miserable! yesterday I
broke a looking glass, and to-day ono
of my poor cats Is dead!"
Tho prince Is not particularly rona
of cats, and on the following day sent
for her highness.
"Any more cats dead this morning?"
No, replied tho princess, horrllled.
Why do you ask?"
"Uecauso I wcut and broke four look
ing glasses yesterday," replied bis roy
al highness, laughing.
A girl's Idea of genuine misery Is to

Its total length. Including Hie Improved
iwrtlon of the Chicago Uiver. Is thirty
four tulles. It bus the greatest width
of any canal on earth, having a cross
section of lirj feet at the bottom and
IHHi feet at the top. The ultimate object
Is to afford a water way for the largest
ocean going vessels from Lake Michi
gan to the Gulf of Mexico.
The work Is yet being carried on un
ceasingly, the widening of the Chicago
Hivcr being trbw lu progress. Uesldents
of Chicago hae already spent $37.;i7S,-S-IO
lu the construction of the canal.
They must spend nearly $10,000,000
more before their part of the work Is
done. Then It will cost SiMMMOOO ad

to the propoMtl shlpuay. This latter
expense, however. It Is e.Kcted, will be

PALESTINE WAKING UP.
Many Sigma of Progress Due to Ger

According to United States Consular
Agent Harris at Elbeustock, Palestine
has shown unmistakable signs of pro
gress during the last decade, much of
which Is to be attributed to Gorman
enterprise.
"German colonists, merchants and
horticulturists," says Mr. Harris, "are
awakening that part of the Lcvaut
from a lethargy of a thousand years.
Three years ago a German bank was

by (.ierman motor boats. A direct lino
of communication has thus been opened
up between Jerusalem and Kerak, the
ancient capital of the land of Moab,
which still commands the caravan
routes leading across the Arabian
desert.
There Is no doubt that Germun en
terprise will also exploit the phosphate
liclds situated on both sides of the Jor
dan, when transportation facilities
shall have been sufficiently developed
to insure success to the undertaking.
"ror many years Germany has been
looking to Asia Minor and other coun

territories In which to develop German
market. The Ilagdad railroad, which
will lead through Anatolia, Intersecting
the headwaters of the Tigris ami Eu
phrates, to the shores of the Persian
Gulf, Is an enterprise of vast Import

moter, and the Turkish empire, but to
the world at large. It Is tho greatest
commercial and civilizing factor that

HAVE A TREE DOCTOR.
Several Cities Add n DcmlroloKlHt to
Their Ofllclul Corpi.
Doctor of trees Is the latest official
addition to tho municipal corps of
largo cities. Huston has engaged a
tteo doctor to feel the pulses of the
elms on Hoston common; Chicago has
n consultant to help Juckson Park re
cover from Its attack of World's Fair;
New Y'ork added one to Its official ros
ter when the rapid transit subwny was
likely to Interfere with tho boulevard
trees, aud llrooklyu Is considering the
advisability of offering a permanent
position to a "tree doctor" competent
to look after tho health of the trees In
Prospect Park.
Most of the Interest In city trees Is
directly duo to tho growing fnshlon
for country houses and estates. City
men hovo learned to rccognlzo good
trees when they see them und to ob
serve them closely enough to detect
promptly nny sign of approaching de
cay. Landscape architects, who used
to bo scurce, aro now plentiful and
able, and they havo succeeded In edu
cating such n considerable proportion
of the general public that complaint Is
soon maiio if tho trees of a city shows
symptoms of municipal neglect or 111
treatment. Indeed, slnco tho days of
Secretary of Agriculture Morton, who
established "Arbor day," thcro has
been n regular campaign of education
lu fuvor of city trees. The direct ef
fect of this work has been tho crea
tion of tho "treo doctor."
Tho "treo doctor" Is not necessarily
a practical landscape architect, or gar
dener, says tho llrooklyu Eagle, though

fession, Moro than ono of tho really

The building of the canal resulted In
reversing the flow of the Chicago Hir

bility. The river which formerly emp

that has ever been achieved In this or
or any other country."
The sluice-gates have a vertical piny
of twenty feet and openings of thirty

Ham's Choice or Unites.
Former Lieutenant Governor John C,
Underwood, of Kentucky, told a story
at the Canadian Society dinner nt the
Arkwrlght Club Tuesday night about a
negro In his employ who was tnurrled
four or live times, every time receiving
ns n gift ?o from his employer. The
sixth time the servant nppeared Mr.
Underwood suld: "This thing has gone
too fur, Sam; this time you have got to
get married In the regular form. I will
get you a license from tho County Clerk
which will cost $1.50, which sum I will
deduct from the $5 I am going to give
you."
Sam demurred, but finally consented
to havo the license procured. Ho enmo
to Mr. Underwood's house hi the even
lud nnd when tho certificate was read
to him It contained tho nanio "Mary
Ann Jones," the name of a woman to
whom Sam had been paying attention.
"Land's bakes, Marser, Mary Ann
Jones nlii't do woman. It's Sarah Jen
kins I wants to marry"."
Colonel Underwood replied that he
would nrrango It all right, says the
Now York 'limes, nnd would tnko out
another license, costing $1.50, which
sum ho would deduct nlso from the $5.
"This Is getting too expensive," cried
Sam. "I think you better leave do pa

Sarah Jenkins, but dere ain't $1.60 dif

Great Halt Lake
According to the report of the United
States Geological Survey, Great Salt
Lake has been steadily sinking for a
number of years. If that clear, briny
drop of ocean, left behind when tho Pu.
clflc rolled westward, should sometime
dry up Into a salt basin, there would be
grief and Iobs In Utah, slnco It has bo-
como u prominent point for business
and pleasure. As to the causo of tho
decline opinions vary. It Is thought by
some that tho lako Is subject to cycles
of change, and this Is Its low water per
iod, Others attribute tho sinking to the
clearing of tho forests from tho neigh
boring mountains, thus destroying tho
protection of tho head waters of many
streams flowing Into the lake.
