England's Great Belle and Heiress.
London World

The rumor chronicled last week of the
approaching contract of marriage be-
tween Prince Leopold and Miss Maynard
is said to be unfounded. Such an alli-
ance would have been popular, and a
beauty who has 100000 a year is not a
bad match, even for prince of the blood
royal. The Maynards have always been
popular family in Essex, and The bright
presence and winning smile of the heiress
of that ancient house are ever welcome
at Dunmow, Easton Lodge, near to Dun
NOW, which is Miss Maynard's property
in her own right, is one of the finest
mansions in the county, and is no mean
rival of Audley End-but without its
wealth of artistic treasures-or Down
Hall. The late Viscountess Maynard,
the grandmother of the new beauty, for
many years distributed $4,000 per an
mum among the poor in the neighbor-
hood of Easton. Miss Maynard attained
her eighteenth birthday last December,
and it will be remembered that the oc-
casion was celebrated by magnificent
entertainment, which cost an enormous
sum, and was one of the most brilliant
affairs which has been known in Essex
for a generation. Flowers were brought
from Nice and suite Of temporary re-
ception rooms was erected for the occa-
sl0n.

Walloons for Dutch was practically
hatred for Flemish; and it was so in
more ways than one, as the Walloons and
Flemings differed in customs and man
ners, aud had always been jealous Of one
another.
Had the King of Holland been prudent
he might easily have played off these an
tagonistic races against each other, and
have kept the Walloons at least loyal to
him by making them some concessions
about their language, while showing
them that he was their best protector
against the zealotry that reigned in
West Flanders and Brabant. He seems.
however, to have had no idea OF concilia-
ton, and by his obstinacy on one occa-
sion where he ought to have felt that he
was stalking his crown, he set the whole
of the Walloon provinces against him.
A sergeant major in line regiment
named Lemerel-a man of good educa-
tion-had been recommended seven
times for commission; but his name
had always been scratched because ne
could not speak Dutch. His term OF
military service having expired, he re-
paired from his garrison at Mons to La
Haye and begged an audience of the
king. This was refused, SO Lemerel
posted himself in an ante-chamber of the
palace and endeavored to thrust petit
ton into the kings hands.
He was stopped by the guards, where
upon he exclaimed. in the hearing of the
whole court: PMalheur a un roi qui ne
salt pas rendre justicep and leaving the
palace started back for Mons. On arriv-
ing here he found his commission as lieu
tenant awaiting him; but this concession
came too late to queneh the wrath of a
man who had endured deep personal
slight. Lemerel started for the Bormage
and inhamed all the miners by his incen-
diary speeches. An attempt was made
to arrest him, but the pitmen hurried to
his rescue, and marching to Mons in a
body, proclaimed the downfall OF the
Orange dynasty. These events, occurring
at the same time as the Brussels revolu-
ton, turned the tide against the Dutch,

Belgium is going to celebrate this year

will be fifty years in August since the

from Brussels began with some riots at
the Theatre de la Monnaie, on the occa-
sion, Of q performance Of "Masaniello." !"
In Brabant and in the Walloon provinces
the discomfort against the Dutch seems
to have been rather q question OF Ian
guage than Of religion. The Walloons
are not bigots like the Fleminga but they
could not bear being obliged to learn
Dutch as an indispensable condition to
obtaining government appointments or
commissions in the army. Now, the
Dutch and Flemish languages are pretty
much alike, 20 that the hatred Of the

MANY of the women were very ele-
gantly and richly dressed, and all, from
the richest to the poorest, wore Grains"
The fact is, a Mexican woman without
train would be as wretohed as a bishop
without an apron. From the proudest
senorita to the lowest house-servant or
washerwoman, unless they are so old
as to have lost all sense Of the ridicu-
lous, they all wear them, and they
never "clew" them up as the American
women do, but let them futter and
spread to the fullest extent. Occasion
ally one may be seen trying to take
reef in them in imitation Of their fori
eign sisters, but they always look so
sorry about it that it awakens my SYM
pathy.
Politeness is said to be national trait,
and it is sometimes so extreme as to "al-
most take your breath away" If you
take letter of introduction to a Mexi-
can he at once assures you that his house,
his servants, and all that he has are at
your disposal, and that he will be in
readiness at all times to serve you as it
may please you to direct, and he does it
with an air of sincerity that it places you
at once at ease, except to find fitting
words to express your gratitude.
II you make mistake in any way, and
he sees that it is a mistake, he will not
show you by the movement of muscle
but what you have done the most proper
thing that you could possibly have done.
If you greet him with Spanish "good
morning. at 9 o'clock at night he will
look as solemn as though sentence of
death was passed on him while he re-
turns your greeting with "good morn
ing" also.
This is great disadvantage sometimes
for teacher of Spanish, for foreigners
will not correct their oral mistakes,
though he will correct their written ex-
ercises without hesitation.
| When Mr.. Foster visited Monterey
last summer he was given State din
ner When the coffee was served, the
sugar was on the table in pretty large
pieces. Mr.. Foster took one, and, as it
was larger than he wanted, he broke of
piece and placed what was left by his
plate, and all the Mexican guests did
the same thing. 1t is said that even the
"road agents" will rob man with as
much politeness as though they were
asking personal favor, but of this
hope to have no personal experience.

Roasted 60 Death by the sun. :


DIR. Schweinfurth, in a lecture which
he recently delivered at the Berlin Ge-
ographical Society on the subject of his
latest explorations in Central Africa,
gave his hearers thrilling account of
the mode in which capital punishment is
inflicted upon criminals by the Al-Quad-
jis, small tributary off-shoot of the
great and powerful Djour people. The
malefactor condemned to die is bound to
post firmly driven into the ground in
some open place where no trees afford a
shade, and is there slowly roasted to
death-not by any artificial means in
volving a waste of fuel but by the natu-
raj heat of the SUMS rays II they reach
our earth in its equatorial regions.
To protract his sutferings and to avert
his too speedy end by sunstroke, the
ingenious Al-Quadjis cover their erring
compatriot's head with fresh green
leaves, which effectually shield his brain
from Phebus's darts. No such protec-
ton is, however, accorded to his body,
which gradually dries up, shrinks To-
gether, and ultimately becomes carbon
ized. One chance of salvation is open
to the roasting man, while as yet he is
not completely "done to DEATH" If a
cloud pass between the sun and his place
Of torment be is at once cast loose from
his post and becomes the object Of popu-
lar reverence, as mighty magician in
whose behalf the supernatural powers
have deigned directly to intervene. But
clouds seldom interfere with the admin
istration of justice on the days chosen
for public executions by the ALQuadji
authorities; at least, that appears to be

WARM AND COLD BATHs.-An article
of very interesting and instructive ma
ture, on the physiological action Of
baths, was published in a late number of
the London Lancet. Summing up, the
writer notes that warm baths produce an
effect upon the skin directly contrary to
that which is brought about by cold
water. The cutaneous vessels dilate
Immediately under the influence of the
heat, and although the dilation Is fol-
lowed by contraction, this contraction
is seldom excessive, and the ultimate re-
suit of a warm bath is to increase the
cutaneous circulation. The pulse and
respiration are both quickened in the
cold bath. The warm bath increases
the temperature of the whole body, and
by lessening the necessity for the inter-
nal production of heat, it decreases the
call which is made upon certain of the
vital processes, and enables life to be
sustained with less expenditure of
force. While q cold bath causes q GER
tain stiffness of the muscles ii continued
too long, warm bath relieves stiffness
and fatigue. The final effect of both
hot and cold baths, if the temperature
be moderate. is the same, the difference
being, to use the words of Braun, that
"cold. refreshes by stimulating the func-
tions; heat by physically facilitating
them, and in this lies the important
difference between the cold water sys.
tenn and the thermal mode of treat
ment."

Winter Care Of Stock.

To ensure health and thrift to live
stock during the winter and early spring
the prime essentials are good food and
enough of it, comfortable quarters dur
ing severe weather, and regularity in
care and management. With these re-
quirements supplied, young animals
will keep on growing steadily, and those
that are mature will keep healthy and
strong, and the coming spring time will
find all of them in q condition to make
rapid improvement upon the fresh pas
turage which greets them when turned
out. A pre- requisite of steady improve
ment, however, is that stock should en-.
ter the winter season in good condition.
Experienced breeders and feeders un-
derstand that an animal in good flesh
enduIes cold weather better than one
that is thin. Cold makes heavy drafts
upon fat, and if there is lack of this
vital resource in an animal, it must nee
essarily deteriorate.
Just at this time some of our farming
friends are apt to make mistake. It is
q critical period with live stock. From
grass to hay demands more labor and
care in the management of live stock
than at any other time of the year. Re
peated frosts have robbed the grass In
pastures of q great deal of nutrlment.
Not unfrequently this fact Is overlook ed
aud cattle and sheep do not get enough
to satisfy their needs. They should
have small ration of hay or roots and
grain, and plenty of water also, for some
times they become very thirsty by rea'
son of the dry quality of their fall feed.
In turning cattle into q stalk field ex'
treme care should be observed. For the
first few days they should not be per.
mitted to remain in the field more than
a couple of hours, and then, after being
driven out of it, have access to water
Every year numbers of valuable cattle
are lost by carelessness in permitting
them to fill themselves with dry husks
and stalk !; impaction of the manifoidf
results and in many cases death ersues
Generally an animals sudden taking
off in this manner is charged to smutty
corn, when it is due to the cause WI
have assigned, and to no other.
| There is another mistake which is moi
unfrequently made, and that is sudden
change of diet from grass to corn. AL
changes of food should be gradual, 9th
erwise the growth of an animal, and
| especially of young things. is checked,
and health is impaired. From this anG
other causes animals that were in good
or at least in fair condition in the fall
come out in the spring little more thar
hide and bones. This kind of manage
ment is expensive; it represents loss o
time and money. To obtain the great
est amount of profit from an animal i
should be kept growing from birth tt
maturity, and not alternately starved
and stuffed, nor subjected to sudder
changes of food which impose a tax up
on the digestive organs they cannot en-
dure, or at least, properly discharg'
their functions so as to preserve strength
and ensure growth.-Americam Stock

does he? Ever hear he wasn't exactly

Not a word

rather on the romance. She's just dy-
ing to slope off with some pirate or be
lugged by some Injun- killer, and if that
'ere Tennyson Is on the slope | don't
want his verses
sOh, you can be sure that his poems
are all right. They contain nothing
but the purest sentiment.
Mother thing is, one of the girls in
our neighborhood sent off after some
ones poems, and that 'ere pamphlet
come nigh workin' a heap of evil. There
was song in it about boy with glass

and all such slang as that. I kept her
churnin' butte from six in the mornin'
till ten at night, and I guess it reformed
her, but I don't want to set her gOin'

Il assure you that Tennyson's poems
are all right said the clerk.
