n Romantic Story.

The romantic vicissitudes Of the early
life of the Countess Solangc dc Kramer
have once more become the talk of the
Paris salons. and they are, indeed, so
extraordinary that, used rs materials
for a novel, they would spoil the book
by the lack Of vcrismlitudc. One
night in 1901 g little girl about one year
old was deposited in the drawer of the
founding hospital at Bresk She was
dressed with much tlnery, and note
attached to her skirts, told that her
name was Solange, and that; she would
be reclaimed by her father. ! The claim
was never made, however, and in due
time the child was transferred to the
orphan asylum, to be educatcd there.
AS she grew up she DEVELOPED most
extraordinary beauty, but l$r intellect
appeared to be very weak, aild she suf
fere1 from frequent ncrvousait When
she was twelve years old s!tc was sent
out into the streets to sell flpwers, and
her beauty and modesty Attracted many
peoples good will, but she grew weak
cr and weaker, and at last, she died.
According to French custom size was
buried in an open caskct, anp, as 1t was
winter and the ground was frozen, she
was laid in the grave and only covered
with thin layer of sand. During the
night she awoke, and, pnshing the
sand away, crcpt out from sthe grave.
Not exactly undcrstandingSwh had
taken place, she was not so Very much
frightened, but crossing thd glacis be-
tween the cemetery and the fortitlca-
tions, she was suddenly stopped by the
outcry" "Qui vive," and, as shedid not an
swcr, the sentinel fired, and She fell to
the ground. Brought into the guard
house, her wound was found to be very
slight, and she soon recovered; but her
singular history and also her great beau
ty had made so deep an impression on a
young lieutenant Of the garrison (I[ra-
ner) that he determined to be her pro-
tcctor, and sent her to ono Of the most
fashionable educational establishments
in Paris. During the next few years
Kramer was much tossed about by the
war, but when in '13 he returned to
Paris, he found Solangc full grown
woman, lot only beautiful, but accom-
plishcd and spirited, with no more
trace of intellectual weakness or ner-
vous fits. He married her, and for sew
eral years the couple lived happily in
Paris. MEANWHILE Investigations were
mode concerning the girl left, in 1901, j.,
in the founding hospital at Brcst, and
as these investigations were made by
the Swedish ambassador. and in n
somewhat official manner, they attrac-
ted some attention. Captain Kramer
heard about the affair, and sent a note
TO the ambassador, and, a month later
on, the ambassador, came in state to
bring Nine. Cramer formal acknow-
edgement from her father, the former
General Bernadotte, the present King
Charles XIV, Of Sweden. Captain
Kramer and his wife went immediately
to Stockholm; they were ennobled,
etc., and their son has just now been
appointed attachc to the Swedish Lcga-
ton in Paris.

a Rare Old RELIC.

In the year 1165 the monastery of
Stavronikites, which still nestles Iii the
rocky recess Of Mount Athos, pur-
chased from some plous Russian pill

the right leg bone Of st. AnlrOw. who
suffered martyrd0m In southern Rus

weight In gold for the relic, but their
investment turned out highly profta-

Pork at 4! cents gives the successful
feeder 81 cents bushel for his corn. At
scents gives him 90 cents a bushel for his
corn.
1t has been shown by repeated expert
ments that well-bred Poland.C China or
Berkshire swine will produce 19 pounds Of
pork for a bushel Of corn under favorable
circumstances.
Though this is shown to be one of the
possibilities Of a bushel OF corn, it does not
by any means follow that every farmer, or
even the average farmer, can count on
twelve pounds Of pork for every bushel Of
corn fed to pigs.
On the other hand the average farmer,
with average hogs oil mixed breeds and no
breed at all, does not make more than six
pounds Of pork to the bushel OF corn.
Professor Sanborn, OF the New Hamp-
shire Agricultural College, made ll.$s
pounds OF pork for each bushel OF corn
led. TWAS ground, and the meal mixed
with water. He does not consider this the
most economical method OF producing pork
nor one by which the highest results can
be attained. Cassius NJ. Clay, OF Kentucky,
and ]. Sullivant, Of Ohio, have shown that
1t will pay to fatten hogs on corn alone,
but that pork can be produced more
Cheaply ii aportion OF the pork be made
on grass and clover. From list OF exper-
iments made by several different persons
In different States, the lowest reported av-
erage was five and three.quarter pounds
Of pork from bushel OF corn fed on the
ground, and the highest, an average Of
twenty pounds, was made by feeding a
pair OF good pigs green corn in the ear.
There are thirteen experiments set forth,
and the average number OF pounds made
for every bushel Of corn fed made ten
pounds OF pork.
There are those who hold the view that
unless we can average ten pounds Of pork
10 tho bushel, we can not afford to feed
corn to hogs, 1t will pay better to sell the
corn. II we can average ten pounds, we
will generally get more than forty cents
per bushel for our corn, and unless we can
make forty cents for corn, it is doubtful II
corn and hog raising can be made proata.
bic from yeart TO year. The years inwhish
the former makes q hit Of good crops, and
big prices will tend to keep his courage up
and his faith strong, in corn and hogs, so
that II he makes loss from disease or short
crops, eowill hope for better luck next
year and try again. So the possibilities OF
pork raising are such that the average
farmer can hope for success in this line Of
farming. Just now the boom OF pork
makes the farmer with short corn crop
feel less disconsolate, and the number OF
pigs raised next year will be the greater
for the present advance in prices,

Tho Curse Of Dogs IN West Virginia.
Extract from the proceedings d the PlFkeaburg wool
growers meeting
Mr.. Hopkins stated the object Of the
meeting was TO formulate some schemes
by which sheep breeders and wool growers
can be protected in their pursuits. And
he dwelt upon the ravages that every year
results TO sheep from the rayages Of dogs.
Mr. Cockayne stated that Marshall
county would engage largely In the bust.
ness II there were more protection against
the rayages Of dogs.
Mr.. Hudson thought the education Of
public sentiment was the best means
Of reaching the desired end. That
the politicians were too much In fear Of
the dog owners TO enact any law that
would In any way interfere with the con.
stitutional rights Of dogs to murder sheep
with impunity.
Col. Beall stated that he was acquainted
with the several citizens Of Washington
county Pa, who had sold their farms, and
intended TO move TO West Virginia to en-
gage In sheep huabandry; but upon In
quiry they learned Of the fact that there
was no protection against dogs, and they
went West. And so, in the speakers opin'
ion, would II continue 10 be, until there
were greater inducements offered to per

whom reside in this county and couple
OF parties, DR.. Hedge and q Mr.. Wilson,
were sent over to look alter It. They met
with the usual difficulties attending such
missions, and came back unsuccessful then,
but the report now is that the legal ques.
tons connected with the claims were de.
cided in the English High Court oil
Chancery In January last, favorable TO the
American claimants, and we understand
they are making arrangements to make
