The Danish Princes of 1910,

In the year 14G8, the Chancellor of Scot.
land, Andrew Stuart, was instructed by
James ILL., TO negotiate a marriage between
the young monarch and the Princess Mar
garet, daughter of Christian l., King of
Denmark. Christian |. was the founder
of the illustrious house OF Oldcnburgh.
whose descendants have ever since occu
pied the Danish throne. When the pre-.
liminaries wcro arranged, the kings
brothor-in-law, a member Of, the powerful
family of the Boyds, was sent IN a ship,
in the autumn Of that year, to bring the
princess 10 Scotland. and in the spring of
l470 Danish fleet was seen off the Scot
tish coast, bringing home the royal bride.
The marriage was sOlemniZcd on July 10.
l74O. King Christian engaged to bcstow
with his daughter sixty thousand Rhenlsh
llorlns as dover; but owing to his being
engaged in a war with Sweden, he was url-
able at that time to pay more than two
th'usand, and, by way of pledge gave the
Orkney and aftcrward tho Shetland Isles,
which he was never able to redeem, and
consequently those islands became lost tC
the Danish crown. The marriage was
promoted by France, which aimed at uni
ting Scandinavia and Scotland in league
against England. For this purpose Louis
XII. effected a marriage between hls
daughter, the Princess Jeanne, and 6
younger son of tho DANISH King, Duke
Hans. The princess aftcrward became
the wife of the Duke of Orleans, better
known as Louis XII. ...

nypodormic Inj ctlons or Morphine.

~ NUMBER or persons more or less promi-

within lew months from The direct cf-

n New NIazeppa.

One of the boys at Lamar, Missouri, had
| been reading Byron's NIazeppa ami he got
| threc or four oi the boys in Il barn down in
the southwest part Of the town aud they
concluded to play hazeppa. From what
we can lcarn-not having been provided

| more startling than instructive.
| lhey got COW aud about forty feet of
| clothes line and u number seven hoy with
red hair and freckled nose to do tic Ma
zcppa part, while gentle youth of twelve
or thcreabout wrapped a saddle blanket
round his head and, us the Jealous sheik,
| shouted:

her. In truth, she was noble stced. A
helfer OF the muIy breed, and wild-wilu
as seventeen kinds of Rocky Mountain
William II. Goats. They got her on the
barn floor and tied the boy on with the
rope and turned her loose. She took in the
situation and seemed to realize that her
crcdlt as an actress WAS at stake. Her act
ing was splendid, aud brought down the
house-by sections. Whenever she run
over one ot the boys you could hear the ap-
plausc for four blocks
Although the audience all had parouette
ana plt uckcls, they thought they could
look at the play better from the gallery,
and SO they slid up into the hay NOW and
tried TO crawl out through the roof while
the old COW was churning about fourteen
years growth out Of Mazeppa and bawling
like steam calliUpe, while Dlazcppa
passed host of the time yelling like a pig

The play would probably have been in
progress yet but for the fact that the neigh
borhood thought cyclone was wrestling
with the Darn, and rushed in and got the
COW up IN corner and amputated the
boy.
The show wound up with that thrilling
piece OF music entitled ''Sounds from
Lone" which was well played by an i'm
provised band of several parents, several
boys and several leather straps. The boys
say that the music made by the straps was
thrilling III the extreme.

Annual Production or Fuel,

The severity Of the last winter, the high
price of soft coal, and the difficulty OF OBJ
tanning 1T, have caused the farmers in the
northwestern States to use a large number
OF substances for fuel not ordinarily en-
plrycd. In some parts of Minnesota stalks
OF hemp cut IN pieces, have been used in
place of wood for feeding stoves. The
Mennonite settlers in that and other States
have burned prairie hay in furnaces cspeci :
ally constructed for it's consumption. In
some parts OF Kansas and Nebraska the
leaves, stalks and heads of the giant or
Russian sunfiowcr have been employed for
fuel with excellent results. The leaves
contain rosln and the seeds arc rich in oil.
These substances ignite readily and pro-
ducc beautiful flame. In producing a
cheerful fire on a cold winter night there
are few things that equal the heads of the
sunllowcr. The plants are cheaply raised
and easily prepared for the stove and CRATE
The ashes produced from them are very
rich in potash, and arc accordingly valua-
bic for soap making or for manllrng the
soil. In Iowa, IL Is said, more corn has
been used for fuel than during any wintcr
since the State was settled. Carefully con-
Quoted experiments made in various parts of
the State show that at the present price of
corn and coal, thcrcis a gain of 80 per cent.
in burning the former. Farmers who burn
corn save the trouble of huskng and the
cost OF transporting 1t to market, and Of
bringing back coal. There is prejudice
in the minds of many people against burn
ing corn, as it is valuable for food for man
and most of the domestic ANIMALS. In Eng.
land there is similar prejudice against the
use of wood fcr fuel, as timber is valuable
for building houses and constructing car.
ringes, while, the growing trees add to the
beauty and hcalihfulness of the country.
These considerations, however, are likely
to give way TO those of an economic ma
ture. When corn is cheaper article Of
fuel than coal, it is likely to be employed
for cooking and heating purposcs.

Tho kissing Ganle.

correspondent gives this account of q
pretty game of cards now fashionable in
Palis. The participants were young ladies
and gentlemen who sat in equal numbers
on either side of the table. The cards
were dealt to each, and one hand, as in

played for III this game is that the lady or
gentleman who gets the ace OF hearts and
can take trick with it, or beat it with
another cnrd, has the option TO kiss any
lady or gentleman he or shemay select. Ii
lady IS the winner Of the successful trick,
this option nay be used ornot as she elect,
and generally she does waive her right:
but II a gentleman holds the lucky card, OF
course he invariably exercises his right.

held the ace OF hearts was sure to get il

with What perfect sang iroid the gentleman

Tho Tllree Flowers.

Near the city of Rome, IN Italy, not far

the "Ihrce Flowers" In consequence of
the new laws upon ecclcsiasticai property
the monastery was appropriated by the
ltallan government, but rented out again
to the Trapplsts, a Catholic order of very
strict observance, who had settled at the
spot about twelve years previously, and
were engaged III pursuits most useful to
the country. The monastery is situated
upon the borders Of the Campagna, that
pestiferous district as yet urrcdeemcd by

Scarcity of LRbOrers in New
York.

New York, S.-CommercioL BuELetian:
There has been great scarcity of labor
ers in the Dry Docks and ship yards
ever since May. occasioned by the great
commercial activity and increased build
ing speculations. The numerous build
ings in course of construction have called
off vast numbers Of carpenters and
builders and the caulkera, instead of
finding their work along the East River
as formerly, are now being employed
exclusively in Jersey City and Red
Hook and up the river snd even in roof
ing work. Once there was as many as
twenty-five hundred caulkers, now there
are only about FIVE hundred and fifty,
and these, IS has been said, are widely
scattered. The building OF yachts which
has grown into immense proportions has
taken away men from work on merchant
vessels. The scarcity of laborers has
caused much delay and hindrsnce on all
dry docks and the inability to OBJ
tain them has driven away vessels to
other cities where repairs could be more
speedily performed. One vessel on an
East River dry dock recently advanced
40S skilled lsborers at the regular market
rate, S.25 day. On the first day only
seventeen men responded, the next day
forty and on no day could more than
sixty be obtained. Work is becoming
more slack at the dry docks, consequently
the scarcity of laboters is not so
much, but it is still great.
