Bacon and beef, the great Eng- lisih food staples, have jumped from 4 to G cents a pound; mutton, chese and bupeer are going up, too. In fact, the British| housewife finds everything on her biil of | fare kiting,skyward, and'a wall of protest being raiscd from Lands knd to Jobn o' Groats. In the minds of many the idea prevails that the bad Americans are responsible in large part, if not altogether, for this condition, although, the more sensible rec- ognize the fact that England is simply feeling a world-wide movement towards higher prices. 1 asked one authority to what he ascribed the trouble. This is what he said: “The introduction of cold storage, which has enabled the great trusts to store thous- ands of tons of perishable commodities for practically indefinite periods, and to hold them over so as to stiffen prices, has been advanced as one Yeason. And it may have something to do with It. “But the main cause s that the world is fast filling “up. Amerlca, for Instance, sends ‘us less and less beef, butter and cheese every year. Her constantly increas- ing population needs all it can grow and make for its own use. Twenty Years ago the pra.rics of the madle west were merely slglntic graziog fakms T6r cattle. Now they are covered with small homesteads, with the result that while local production has been lessened, local demand hag been increased. Princess Maud’s Debut. “And we, here in Great Britain, are feel- ing the pinch-and are likely to feel ii.” Soclety 1s greatly interested at the .mo- ment In the forthcomiug debut of Princess Muud, the younger daughter of the Princess Royal, and the duke of Fife, which, as at present arrahged, will take place at the final court of e ¥gason. The recently = celebrated her sevenifenth birthfiay, but, owink in & great Wicasure (o the delicate health of hey mother, she s almost entirely unknown vutside her own family. She s a winsome little maid, and a gencral favorite With all with whom she comes into contact. Like her elder sister, Frincess Alexandra, she is devoted to an outdoor life, and her chief happiness is found In roaming ubout the delightful lighland scenery In the nelghborhood of | Mar Lodge. Two Princesses were never more s:mply brought up than have been the two daughters of our princess royal, _and’ when one meets this bright and vivacious girl it is difficult to realize that she stands eleventh In divect succession to the throne at the present time.

The squadron,| keeping formation. as perfectly as battie- | ships, reached Hamburg a few minutes | after 4 o'clock, having accomplished a| Journey without @ mishap at an average speed of twenty-two miles an hour Zebelln Lands Eusily. The great white Zeppelin landed easily and without Incident, and the Parseval descended at the very feet of the Kalser's party. The Gross experienced some dif-| ficulty in descending, and suffered mishap #0 serious that the vessel was prevented from landing where It desired and came down more or less involuntarily at another spot some hundreds of yards distant. Awaiting the squadron’s arrival on the plain adjacent to the rallway line between Frankfort and Hamburg were the kaiser, the kaiserin, Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, and a brilliant entourage. Before landing the three vessels executed a serious of picturesque maneuvers above Hamburg, to the intense joy of the imperial party, especially of the kaiser and his daughter. Aboard the Zeppelin were General Baron Von Lyncker, chief\of the transport de- partntent of the German army and General Von Sperling, the ilitary governor ot Cologne. They werd able to assure the supreme war lord that the crulse was suc- cessful in every respect. The kaiser gscorted his wife and daughter over the aJréhip, the princess making good practice the while with her camera. 1t is stated that army airship M. 3, dur- ing a recent'long-distance flight made an important \experiment in the discharge of cxplosives in the form of aerlal torpedoes trom alrships. The experiments are being continued. ~ Including -the victints of the Pommern disaster on April 3, elghit balloonists have been killed in Germany in the last few weeks. Minor mishaps are events of daily occurrence and pass almost unnoticed. The frequency of accldents In aviation has stirred the Impérial Aerq club, the leading German aeronautic authority, to take action on behalf of those interested in the naviga- tion of the air, and the club has decided to iseue a code of rules and advice to bal- loonists. Every large town has now a bal: | loon club and ascents are so numerous that | the frequency of aecidents fs less sur- prising than appears at the first glance. Tax on Unearned Increment. As a part of the German Imperlal finan- clal settlement last year, it was enacted that the government should within & glven period introduce a blll establishing a tax on unearned Increment to produce at least | $,000,000 a year. It provides that the tax | shall apply only to real estate. it will be payable on the sale of property, and is to be collected by ‘municipalities and rural | authorities,~many of whom ‘already have | local taxes on unearned Increment. Local | uuthorities will be required to hand over | 6 per cent of the yield of the tax to the | Imperia} treasury, which expects net $5,600,000 %arly from the Impost, All forms of property other than real cs- | tate are exémpted from the operation of | the tax, on the ground that the inclusion | of securities, ete., would impose an intoler- alle burden on trade, drive capital abroad | forelgn capltal out of Germany, | with a resuitant depreciation of German | tato and other securities, and loss of reve- nue frém stamp dutles.

Dven the great fight in the British Parllament has taken second place | in the public mind. In one notable instance | at least the renewal of the discussion has | led to & regular Donaybrook fafr free-for- all fight. At the Castlebur Urban District | Councii the other day Mr. Michael Kelly | moved a resolution expressing the.council's | “entire condemnation” of Sir Robert, which | Mr. James Daly duly seconded. The row | began when, in the middle of, Mr. Daly's | reminiscences of “Commission” days, Mr. Dan Hogan, vice chairman, interjected the | remark that “once again Judas was on his | teet." In answer to protests. Mr. Hogan on to say that he was at the faillway sta- ton when Mr. Daly stood on the bridge there and called for groans for Parnell as | e passed to Westport five days before | his death. Mr. Daly retorted that the| statement wag/a deliberate falsehood, and bitterly denounced the chairman for allow- ing him'tq be insulted. After a heated ex- change of personalities, in the course.of | which Mr. Hogan declared that Mr. Kelly told him he saw Mr. Daly groan Parnell, a statement which Mr. Kelly described as “an outrageous lie,” Mr. Daly formally tendered his reslgnation as a member of the council “‘owing to the wilfully villianou: attack allowed by the chairman to be made upon me by -an unmentionable character, who by accident was made a Toember of this board.” ‘% “Do you deny that you denounced Par- nell?’’ querled the irrepressible Mr. Hogan. For answer, Mr. Dally tried to strike him with his stick, but the blow was Intercepted by a gas bracket. Pres- ently; however, he rushed at his traducer, who sat beside tho chalrman,' and dealt him four or five blows in the face with his fists. Then be brought his heavy walking stick into action. His first blow caught | the chalrman across the fingers. The next threo or four were received by Mr. Hbgan across the arms, while one caught him square on tho head. Another councillor, who intervened, received a bad blow on the | arm. Mr. Daly was then pushed towards the back entrance, and was ultimately pre- ailed upon to leave the room. He was sllowed by most of the other counclilors and the meeting abruptly came to an end.

No such step s contemplated.

In the debate on & new war loan to cover the cost of the preparations for trouble fol- lowing the annexation of Bosnla and Fleld Marshal von Georgla declared the amount asked for, $40,000,000, was trifling as compared with the cost of actual warfare. He then proceeded to give an interesting calculation as to what the cost of a future campaign would mean for Austria-Hungary. The dally expénse of Jjudging from previous ex- perience and allowing for the natural rise in prices, might be calculated at about 10 shillings, not jnefuding pensions for. dis- abled men and widows and orphans, the outlay for replacing weapons, uniforms and war material, and for compensation for other Josses sustained. Reckoping, upon a basis of 2,000,000 armed men,! the dally expenses would reach $,000,000, and a cam- paign lasting six months would mean about $000,009,000.
