Ferdinand, of Iln1garia, and i Nioh-
o'las, of Montenegro, Given

Iliie tendency of the age is to de-
throne hereditary rulers or else to

The Balkans, however, are rain
fragment of the'middle ages, de-
spite the advent of trams and tele-
phones and electriclight. Their
sovereigns are at least as potent
as the average Prime Minister,
writes Herbert Vivian in the, Lon-
don Express.
That, of course, 'does not apply to

FERDINAND OF BULGARIA.
Ferdinand, Czar of Bulgaria, has
a very different temtperament. He
probably owes to his Orleaniat,

all the astuteness, audacity, and
ambition, whish have eolipeed a
strain of carefulness= caution, and
drowsy luxury etch observable
through the chinks in his armor.
To the world and his people he is
a reincarnation of Louis XIV., a
feudal father of hie faithful Bul-
gars, the heir -presumptive of the
•drown of Constantino. Pompous
ceremonies and imperial mantles
were the joy of his life. But the
naked Ferdy (as we used to call him
in diplomatic circles at Sofia) was
a man with a very different soul.
Botany and natural history were
his chief interests besides geneal-

li1AIING DETECTIVES.
How 'Scotland Yard Trains Thein
for Their :Duties..
The plan for the seientifie train-
ing of Parisian detectives is no new
thing for the detective forte in
London, says the Daily Mail, ,
"The. system which Mr. Lepine,:
Prefect of. Police, and M. Barnard,
the head of the Criminal, Investiga-
tion `Department of Paris, are
about to inaugurate has been in full
operation, here for many years,"
'said one of the chiefs at Scotland;
"Every officer before he joins the
lowest branch of the detective ser-
vice has to pass an examination in
polite law -that is, what he can do
and cannot do in certain given cir-'
euntstanees—and he has to attend
lectures dealing with crime and.
criminal methods. The examining
board is composed of the chief nen-
stable and two chief inspectors. Be
fore the officer' can ,receive promo-
tion he has to pass a more difficult
technical examination and also a
civil service examination.
,"Every man in the Criminal In-
vestigation Department is taught
all about the finger print system,
he is familiar with all known bur-
glars' -tools and with the marks the
different kinds leave on woodwork,
he understands the different kinds
of leeks, he can take impressions
of footprints and he has received
lessons in cipher reacting. At the
same time certain officer's who have
shown the possession of the certain
qualities ,specialize in forgery and
finger print caees.
"As to the special studies in the
psychology of crime, which are to
form partof M. Lepine's plan, some
of the- most serious and most baf-
fling of crimes are committed by
men who aro not known criminals.
How would the study help in these
cases? Of course, in, the case of
'33i11,' the •bank -robber, or 'Jem,'
the forger, or `Jack,' the jewel
thief, all of whom stick to their own
Math of crimes and have been con-
victed many times, we know the
particular methods of each man and
are intimately acquainted with his
method of working. In these cases
the psychology of crime does Dome
in.
"After all, the problem set a de-
tective forge is, 'Catch your crimi-
nal.' Now the simple fact is that
there is less undiscovered crime in
London than in any other .large city
in the world. That is the justifica
tion of the detective methods eln-
ploycd at Scotland Yard."
WHEN BABY IS ILL.
When baby is ill -when he is
troubled with constipation, colic,
worms or cold; when his teeth are
bothering him or when he is rest-
less and cross and does not sleep
well, give him Baby's Own Tablets.
They are the mother's greatest aid
in keeping her little ones well—
thousands of mothers give their
babies no other tnedicine because
they know the Tablets to, be abso-
lutely safe. They are guaranteed
by a government analyst to be free
from opiates and other harmful
drugs found in so-called "soothing".
mixtures. The Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 26
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'

TAMING OF II.ILLINGSGATT.
How the Old Fish Market Has
Been Transformed.
Not more than twenty years ago
Billingsgate (London's great fish
market) was notorious for hooligan-
ism, swearing and general disorder,
So famous did the habits of the fish
market become that the word "Bit-
lingagate" was recognized as sufii-
ciont description of any specially.
shocking expression. This still sur-
vives. The phrase "choicest Bil-
lingsgate" is still cinnamon, and to
be a "master of Billingsgate"' is
still to be a master of swearing.
But apparently
it is timethat the
word ceased
to be a term of re-
proach and became nothing but the
description of an admirable fish
market•, The Billingsgate of to -clay
is prettyy well as refined
ss any
other market. It is anxious to bo
freed from the reputation of the
e!filiugsgate of twenty or thirty
years, ago.
In :those days there was constant
swearing,: .fighting, drunkenness
and horseplay. A stranger went in-
to the market at his peril and was
often pelted with fish, and soexi-
thnes considerably, hurt.
Now everything is"entirely differ-
ent. Only the eerprising headgear
of the fish porters survives. Every
other oharactelistic has gone. It is
unlikely that a better of quiet -
.fir; 1: ty C :.1s. any-
where than the 2,000 fleh porters.
That they resent the survival of
the old impression is quite. clear.
" it''s time, saida salesman of
thirty years' experience in the mar-
ket, "that,Billingsgate and bad lan-
guage weren't always put together.
It's nothing but libel. -I'll gltafan-
tee thatyou canwalk about here
for helms and not hear a weed that
you cuuid i'1 hear. inthe drawing -
eaten of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. 1 wouldn't like to say as
much for the meat snarket; but you
never hear anything about 'choic-
est Smithfield;' it's always 'choic-
est Billingsgate.'
"It's time we heard the last of
that. Billingsgate is',s quiet as any
offer plate. It's fit for any ladyy.
I don't care who she is ---she could
walk about here without knowing,
for all the language she'd hear, that's
she wasn't in her own house:"
It certainly seemed that the sales-
man was right, At the busy time of
the morning, when there was plenty
of scope far impatienee, there was
nothing to support the ancient re-
putation of the place.:.

NEW IDEAS FOR :VENTILATION
•
In Large Buildings Alin Is to Got
Uniform Conditions.
In the erection of big buildings it
has been the aim of the engineers,
in modern times, to secure condi-
tions of uniform. temperature, uni-
form air pressure and uniform at-
mospheric moisture and ventilation
without drafts, says Harper's
Weekly, but now a couple of Eng-
lish engineers have oome to the con-
clusion, after a careful study of the
subject, that this aim is not in ac-
cord with the true physiological
needs of the human race.
They point out that in nature the
skin comes in contact with constant
physical and chemical changes,
There are variations in temperature
and in pressure caused by the
breeze; there are differences in the
amount of moisture and variation
in the flow of the blood to the skin.
Tho writer says that the English
House of Commons is ventilated by
a stream of air that is taken from
over the river and passed above a
spray of water and thence over
steam pipes which heat ib to a uni-
form temperature of sixty-three de-
grees Fahrenheit, allowing it to en-
ter through the floor without caus-
ing a draft. When the House "di-
vides" for a vote the members pass
into the lobbies. At the same time
the air current is turned off from
the chamber and passed to pipes
leading to the lobbies.
Strangers visiting the House, es-
pecially persons from rural or from
colonial regions, find the air here
vett' depressing. This depression,
say the experts, results, not from.
the particular temperature, nor
from the condition of the air with
respect to oxygen, :ere., but to the
fact of the uniform conditions to
which the skin is exposed,
The nerves in our skin need to be
stimulated. Absolute rest is not
congenial. It is for this reason that
the smoke from a cigarette is fre-
quently a relief or that a every
small quantity of ozone is 80 brac-
ing in shops or factories or schools.
The ozone is helpful not so much
because it supplies oxygen—for if
present -in quantities sufficient to
be smelled it is a .poison -nor be-
cause it destroys organic matter; it
is helpful because of its delicate
stimulation of a nervous system
that is tired of doing, nothing.
ARRESTED 1151 TIiIES.
An emergency patrol van, in the
shape of a hand -cart, was requisi-
tioned by Constable Sloan, of the
Royal Irish Constabulary, to .con
vey Jaue Boyd to the barracks,
taken into custody for drunkenness.
The lady, who had one hundred and
fifty-one times made an appearance
before the bench was awarded: a
month's imprisonment, against
which she offered a vigorous .pro-
test.

Illothei's;Ito Not: Agree.
tnensldering the ' fact • :that the•

Teck, the daughters of the Duke, of.
Teck, Queen Mary's eldest brother,
aro' about the same age as Princess
Mary, it is curious that she should
not find in them the playmates she

it has been necessary to find 'cam-
paniops for her in the daughters of
Lord Salisbury and the Duke of
Devonshire, writes a London tor -
respondent,
The real reason for this 1s found
in a series of disagreements which

the most united family to, be found .
anywhere. The original cause of
the ,trouble is the Duke of Te•ek's.

of Westminster. The Queen's fav-
orite 'brother is Prince Alexander,
known among his pals as Prince
"Algy," and the—as the • Duchess
considered — undue - prominenee
given'. •to him, made her Highness
jealous. This, of course, caused ill-
feeling between the two brothers,
and did not improve matters be-
tween the royal house and the
Tecks; eventually it reached the
"little pitchers," who, never very
congenial to their shy little cousin,
formed an alliance : against her
which the parents have been unable
to break.
Queen Maryand the Duchess of
Teck look -at things in a totally
different light. You have heard
often enough of the father old-fash-
ioned ideas of her Majesty; well,
the Duchess is her exact opposite.
The daughters of the first Duke of
Westminster were always rather a
go-ahead lot, and the • unfettered
country life they led made them in-
dependent and free and easy.
Hence, it is not difficult to discover
how often her Majesty and her
Highness are arrayed against each
other on questions concerning the
education, dressing, and general
bringing-up of their children. To
add to the trouble, it is said that
the Icing and the Duke do not often
see eye to eye on military matters.
The Salisburys long enjoyed the
friendship of the King and Queen
before their daughter was allowed
to become intimate with Princess
Mary. The Marchioness of Salis-
bury has always been about the
court since she was quite young,
and on several occasions, when the
King was just "Prince George,"
was able to help him out of quite
innocent scrapes. Between these
two a warm friendship grew up,
which has survived to this day.

GERMAN GAMBLING.
Vice Said to have Great Bold in
Berlin at Present.
The recent losses and defalcations
of prominent Berlin lawyers, bank
managers, cash messengers and
others, are calling public attention
to the terrible extent to which the
gambling mania prevails in modern
Germany. The "Lo•kal Anzeiger"
is devoting front-page space to a
series of articles painting the erase
in its true colors, in the hope that
a moral will adorn the tale. Cards
and racing, according to Herr Kurt
Doerry's exposures. in the popular
daily, have become an unconquer-
able passion for Germans of high
and low degree.
Illicit betting on the races, he
says,is one of the most invidious
sources of evil. Tradesmen who
cannot eke out a decent living sell-
ing tobacco or groceries are book-
makers' agents in secret, and make
it easy for wage-earners of both
sexes to risk ruin en the horses. The
Government in the Fatherland finds
itself in a rather equivocal position
in any attempt' to frown upon the
gambling mania, for abate lotteries
are an important institution in Ger-
many, and lottery gambling is not
only tolerated, but actively and
sleeplessly encouraged.
