flee few minutes yesterday, and
one Of his associates told me that the
corn crop of the United States

figure of 1,80O,000,000 bushels,
which, at fifty cents a bushel, would
yield $500, 100000. This gentle

Corn is the king of prosperity in

MaT-htl Csurobert's Romance

Marshal Canrobert inllabits a small
hotel III the Rue de Narignan. Like
most French soldiers he is careless of
luxury, and basies himself but little
about thu fine arts. The first thing
that strikes one on entering is little
perambulatOr hidden away under the
staircase; the walls are covered with the
most modern engravings, water-color
sketches and photographs, which do not
speak well for the marsial's taste in
les beaCx arts.
And now L would say few words OF
Madame 10 Marecnale. At the close OF
the Crmean campaign, one evening at
reception held ut the mInistere dies
finances, as Marshal Canrobert entered
the salon, a young lady, whose remarka-
ble beauty WAS not "a little enhanced
by her simple dress of plsIn white tulie.
came with shy boldness ND TO the hero
and said:
Monsieur 10 marchale will do with
me as he did with the Russians, and
make me dance"
You forget, mademoiselle, that there
is an armistlce now."
"Aud free pardon and amnesty for
my boldness, hope?"
Without replying, the marshal offered
the young lazy his arm, and, bringing
her up to a young officer who happened
to be standing near. said:
"Tenez, Monsieur Dance this qua
drille with mademoiselle, and bear in
mind that tonight a marshal of France
envies sub-heutenautl"
Before many years mad passed the
young and beautiful Miss Flora Mae
donald, who had aspired to dance with
the coadiut.r OF Marshal Pelissier, had
become Madame Ia Marechal Canrobert
After having waited few moments
in the salon above mentioned, servant
announces that NJ. Ie Marechale Is ready
to receive you, and, mounting to the
second floor you are ushered INTO the
presence Of the old warrior III his den
simple room, without any ornament
but Uttered with books bearing on mill
tary matters, newspapers, maps, etc.
etc. Marshal Canrobert Is about seven
ty, and OF medium height. His gray
hair Is very curly, and the ensemble UI
lis lace is NEST agreeable, the forehead
being tigh and intellectual, and tine
glance IRON his eyes kind but keen,
brilliant and penetrating. His carriage
Is stern and resOlute, but the back Is a
little bowed, and the head inclined t.
one side when the marshal speaks. The
tone of his voice is splendid; 1t rings,
and the slight southern accent lends an
irresistible charm to the bold, frank,
soldierly words of greeting With which
you are made welcome.

4 Prince Without Nerves.

L. is httie less than miraculous that a
man SO far advanced In years as Prince
Charles of Prussia shouli find at his
command reserves of vitality and recG-
peratiye force enabling him to yet over
SO severe an accident as befel His
Royal HignIess some weeks ago. We
are glad, however, to learn that the re-
covery Of this venerable prince, who
entered upon his SIND year toward the
end OF last June, is now pronounced
complete by his surgical attendants, and
that his return from Cassel TO Berlin
has been decided upon. 1t Is more
than probable that tue resolution and
self-cuntrol of which Prince Charles gave
so many proofs during his early child
hood nave III 10 inconsi ierable degree
contributed TO pull him through the
pam and tedium OF an injury SO dItii-
cult to deal with as fractured thigh.
Among the many anecdotes related OF
lis sang froid and steadiness ofDerye as
a boy Is the following: On the 10th
of Octooer, 1911, the prince being then
10 years and months old, he was din
ing at Wustrau castle with Count lie
ten. the only son OF Frederick the
Greats renowned cavalry general. His
host was very eccentric person-invete-
rately addicted to practical Joking, and
upon the occasion alluded to had pre-
pared an unusually startling surprise for
the juvenile Prince. Count Zieten rose
during dinner to propose the health OF
''the King" and as tine words left his
lips whole battery OF field-guns, which
had been posted just Under the dining
room windows, was fired off at n volley.
Everybody present started, except the
Prince upon whom his hosts eyes were
steadily fixed. Observing with grim
satisfaction that the royal lad did not
even wink, Zieten turned toward him
with the question: Not afraid of can
non, Ell. your royal highness?' Point
ing to the walls of the apartment, lay
ishly adorned with portraits Of officers
of the famous Zieten hussars- the regi-
ment CT which his son, Frederick
Charles, always wears the scarlet uni
form-PrInce Charles quietly replied:
Certainly not, IN such company as
tins % and went on with his dessert as
though nothing unusual had been done
or said.

Fund tor Invalid Soldiers.

Not long ago. during the absence Of the
Emperor, au EnglIsh vIsltor was shown
through one of the imperial castles near
Berlin. He looked upon everything with
the most utter COckney sUpercillousness,
until, say the story-tellers, he came across
a collection of walking sticks, when one OF
these, sturdy piece of hickory, quite cap
tivated his fancy. Long and iOngingly be
cazed upon 1t and handled It, nor did hIs
admiration decrease when his guide, the
stewards daughter, informed hin that il
had been cut from the forest and fashioned
into shape by the Emperor's own hands.
AT last, however, he was constrained TO
tear himself away troni the object of his
fancy, but just as he was leaving the castle
his admiration OF the stick blaZed forth be-
yond control, and drawing handful o.
sovereigns from his pocket he intimated 10
bis fair guide that by 50 much she would
become richer If she would allow him to
bear away the coveted cane. OF course
she spurned the temptation indignantly.
and he went away disconsolate- We'll, the
eirl told her father about it. and he carried
the story to the Emperor on his return tc
the castle, week later. Aud when kai-
ser Wilhelm heard II, he laughed a rlghi
royal laugh and exclaimed: '.If the fellow
had offered me SO much good gold for th'
stick, l would have taken il and turned 1
into the fund for the invalid soldiers"

The Baskins shars.

The shark-fishing OF earlier days in
New Englan was not unimportant IN
dustry. Then the great basking shark,
CetorhiRus, was the chief game, and so
closely were they followed that they
we're nearly driven from the Maine
coast, rarely being seen here at present.
One OF the principal places for the fish
cry was at ProvIncetown, Cape Cod.
Here 1t was known as the bowe, or bask-
ing shark. Captain Atwood hsd met
with onl y three specimens, one of which
had drift ID ashore III state Of decom-
position. a fisherman visited the lat
ter for the purpose of procuring a slice
tor his hens, as Is the custom at Pro-
vlncetown, supposIng it to he dead
wnale. Ascertainng what the animal
was, he removed the liver and sold the
oil five or SIX barrels) III Boston for
S103. In lS4S quite number of these
sharks were met with off Cape Eliza
beth, near the coast OF Maine, and
several were secured. A tradition ex-
lists among the eastern fishermen that
about one hundred Years ago the bask-
ing shark was taken in considerable
numbers tor the oil. In Storer's pic
turc Of this fish the features are very
singular and striking. The nose Is
blunt, the gill openings exceedingly
long, occupying nearly the whole depth
OF the shoulders, and the tail Is large
and curiously winged at the extremity.
Jarre | figures this fish, and says that
it Is called sunfish on the Welsh anu
Irish coasts, from the fact that II lies on
the surface OF the water, nearly notion
less IL the sun for a considerable length
OF time. This writer says that the lar
gest specimen he has seen was taken OIL
Brighton, and measured thirty-six feet
IN length. The term saIlfsh Is derived
from the fact that the creature swims
listlessly along the surface, exposing its
dorsal lin like a sail above water. In
Orkney it is called H0e-D1Other, and by
contraction Homer-that is, the mother
OF the picked dog-fish, which is there
called Hoe. One of the largest OF these
fishes was captured some tune ago Oh
the Georges Banks. 1t measured
seventy feet in length, and when partly
hoisted aboard the schooner, that was
sixty ieet long, it hung five feet over
each end. The liver filled several large
barrels. The basking shark affords oc-
cupation to fishermen In LJany countries.
La some parts OF Newfoundland 1t Is
harpooned, and in Iceland there are
several permanent fisheries, the spec OF
blubber being one OF thestaples at Fisk,
ernaes. Within a few years the shark
fisheries have greatly increased, and
now extend to Proven. The chief place
is at Necrkanck. where as many as 35l
sharks, ali the way from twenty-five to
seventy feet long, are brought In every
season. The oil is extremely pure, re-
Sis ing the cold, and well adapted fol
lubricanon, bringing greater price al
Copenhagen than the finest class OF se'
oil.

Cannibailsm In FIT

Ii was only people who had been
killed that were considered good for
food. Those who died natural death
were never eaten-;nyariIbly buried,
But 1t certainly Is wonder that the
isles were Lot altogether depopu!ated,
owing to the number who were killed.
Thus, In Namena, in the year 1851, fifty
bodies were cooked for one feast. And
when the men of Ban were at war with
Verata they carried OF two hundred
and sixty bolies, seventeen Of which
were piled On a clnos and sent to Rewa.
where they were received with wild Joy,
dragged about the town and subjected
TO every species of indignity ere they
finally reached the ovens. Then, too,
Just think of tue number of lives sacri-
feed in a country where iuflnticide was
recognized institution, and where
widows were strangled as matter of
coursel Why. on one occasion, when
there had been a horrible massacre OF
Namena people at Viva, and upward of
one hundred fishermen had been mur-
dered, and their bodies carried as 6OkOid
to the ovens at Ban, no less than eighty
women were strangled TO do honor to
the dead, and corpses lay in every
direction about the mission station. 1t
is just thirty years since the Rev. John
Watsford, writing from ke-e, described
how twenty-eight victims had been
seized in one day while fishing. They
were brought here alive, and only
stunned when put into The ovens. Some
of the miserable creatures tired to es-
cape from the scorching bed of red-hot
stones, but only to De driven back and
buried in that living tomb whence they
were taken a few hours later to feast
their barbarous captors. He adds that
more human beings were eaten on this
little isle of Bau than anywhere else IN
Fiji. 1t is very hard, indeed, to real
ize that the peaceful village on which |
am now looking has really been the
scene of such horrors as these. and that
many of the gentle, kindly people around
me have actually taken part in them.
