After Wilde.

Oscar Wilde recently contributed a
poem to the new Shakesperean book
printed in England, and here is sample
verse:
Beautiful star with the crimson mouth
Oh moon with the brows of gold,
Rise up, rise up from the odorous South,
And light for my love her way,
Lest her little feet should stray
On the windy hill and the wold
Oh, beautiful star with the crimson mouth,
Oh, moon with the brows of gold.
1t is very easy to rattle of this kind of
thing, even for plain, common, unpre-
tentious poet, when his digestion is good,
and he gets enough to eat to digest it.
Il YOU don't believe it, kindly cast your
Raics on this little canzonet to pull
.sg.
Oh, beautiful bull with the poppy mouth,
And the lonesome chawed-up ear,
Oh, fly like the hurricane of the South,
Oh, jump with rage divine,
And open your jaws and dine
On the neck of the burgulier,
Oh beautiful bull with tho poppy mouth,
And the lonesome chawed-up ear.
Oh, banquetter on the vagrant cat,
Oh, dog with the stumpy tail,
Lie there and sleep on my Turkish mat,
But never, oh, never take
From the oven the buttered steak,
| And under the barn with it sail,
| Oh, banquetter on the vagrant cat,
Oh, dog With .Ea stnmpy tail.

KEEPING IT QUIET.
New York Police Rcticent Regarding
tho Theft OF Valuable Pictures.

View York Police Reticent Regarding
tho Theft OF Valuable Pictures.
Four oil paintings valued at about $l2, 900
wore stolen from the picture store of Thomas
n Wilmurth in New York, nearly year ago
Thoy belonged to Mrs. Charles Morgan, and
together with manv other pictures they had
been given into Mr.. Wimurth's keeping by
Mr.. Louis Tiffany, who had n contract for rem
oyating and decorating Ms. Morgan's house.
Mr.. Wilmurth was instructed to put new
frames on some of the pictures and to resild
others. The theft of the four pictures was an
extraordinary one, and Mr.. Wilmurth was at
loss to account for i. There was no sign OF
any persons having forced their way into his
store, and although there was great deal 81
valuable propertv there nothing was disturbed
except four OF Mira Morgan's paintings. The
lady's entire col ction was valued at upwards
Of $50, 000 The question of who was rospon-
sible for the loss of the paintings worried both
Mr.. Wilmurth and Mr.. Tiffany. The owner
of tn paintings was disposed to hold the last
named gentleman responsible, rs he had made
the contract with Mr. Wilmurth Tor the reno
walton of the frames The matter was given
into the hands of the police, and Inspector
Bymes assigned detectives to hunt up the PIC
lures and, if possible, the thief or thieves
After several months work the paintings were
recovered and restored to Mrs. Morgan. Inc
police however, are reticent as to how the
pictures were found, and so far as is known no
arrests have been made.

Treatment Of Tree wounds.

Valuable trees that have been wounded
or mutilated are often sacrificed for lack
of the discreet surgery which would re-
pair the injury they have suffered; and
Professor c. A. Sargent, of the Bussey
Institution, has done good service to
farmers, fruit-raisers and landscape gar
deners, by translating from the French
the following practical hints, which we
give with slight abridgment:
Bark once injured or loosened can
never attach itself to the trunk; and
whenever wounds, abrasures, or sections
of loose bark exist on the trunk of tree,
the damaged part should be cut away
Clearly, as far as the injury extends.
Careful persons have been known to nail
TO tree piece of loosened bark, in
hope of inducing it to grow again, or at
least of retaining on the young wood its
natural covering. Unfortunately the re-
suit produced by this operation is exactly
opposite to that intended. The decay
ing wood and bark attracts thousands OF
insects, which find here safe shelter, and
abundant food, and increasing rapidly,
hasten the death of the tree. In such
rases instead of refastening the loosened
bark on the tree. it should be entirely cut
away, care being taken to give the cut {
regular outline, especially on the lowel
side; for if portion of the bark, ever
if adhering to the wood, is left without
direct communication with the leaves. i
must die and decay. A coating of Goa
tar should be applied to such wounds.

Lieutenant A. r. Gordon, r. N, deputy
sunerintendent of the Canadian Meteorological
Service, has embarked from Halifax, N. s.
with corps of observers, for the Hudson Straits
expedition. The ship which he has selected
for the expedition is the Neptune, stanch
sailing vessel of 6S5 tons, under the command
of Sailing Master Sopp, an experienced Arctic
navigator. The crew, with explorers, VIII IN
all number fifty-fve men. Professor Bell VIII
accompany the expedi ion to learn what ne can
of the geological features of the country along
the straits. The work of establishing stations
in the straits, which are 400 miles by 100 to 2oo
miles BROAD is MT unattended with ilsHs' as
much of the out inc even Of the coast Is I'M
known, and there are no coast charts or sound
;nps. Six stations in the straits are to be es-
tablished. At all the stations the usual meteo-
rological observations will be made, the heavy
tide will be measured, the drilt oil the water
will be noticed and the conditions and state OF
the ice.
All the stations will be supplied by the Nep-
tune with stock of provisions to last until a
wear at least from next autumn, when, shonia
further observations be considered unnecessary
the observers will return home. Their winter
life on these desolate shores promises 10 oe
rather lonely one.

MUCH M ARRIED.
a Woman who Loses an Estate of $500
600 and Her Nnme.

a Woman who Loses an Estate OF S1oO,-
coo and Her Name.
BY Surrogate Rollmos refusal to admit to
probate in New York the will OF James Tilby
Washington market butcher, who dying in
1881, left his wife $500, 600 and cut off his son
by former wife, the so-called Mrs. Tiiby i
placed in a very embarrassing position. She
loses good round sum of money, and also her
name, since the surrogate decides that she was
legally the wife OF one Augustus j. Hayes, and
was not able to contract marriage with lllby.
Before the death Of the latter she had begun II
suit against Hayes to get their marriage de-
clared null and void Tilby aided her in her
case, but it went against her after his death.
Just what the woman's legal name is may
puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer. She was once a
Mrs. Deming. Deming died, and she married
Morse, who lived on. She became impatient
and secured divorce. Then she married
Rowe. She was disappointed in Rowe and got
an Indiana divorce Rowe was n little peculiar
in his notions and had the deere set aside.
Still the woman, who was still under so, mar
ried Mr.. Albree. She and Albree quarreled,
and they were divorced in Massachusetts. In
1874 she led Hayes to the altar. Poor Hayes!
trouble of q divorce, and so she married Tilby.
But Ti.by got her to establish, if she could,
her legal right to marry by bringing suit against
Hayes. Hayes won the suit and now the
woman would like TO know what her name is

Raising Calves.

Professor Knapp, in speaking OF the
calf before the Illinois Dairymen's asso-
citation, said: "If little grass and hay
and considerable corn be fed during the
first year limited capacity OF the
stomach will very naturally be devel-
oped and tendency to thrive only un,
der grain conditions. Such an animal
is a poor grazer and light hay feeder.
Upon the other hand, if considerable
wheat, bran and oats be fed, with abun-
dance of milk, grass and hay, the ten
dency will be to produce large stom-
ach, with well sprung rib, fine head
and short legs, while rapid growth will
be secured. Such an animal will give a
large flow of milk and keep in fair flesh
upon the pasture alone, and when dry
will winter we'll upon hay. This is of
great Importance to the iarmer as ton
is worth only about twenty-five per cent.
more than ten OF the best meadow hay
for food. Tho best hay at four dollars
per ton would be equal to corn at five
dollars, or fourteen cents per bushel.
Say contail an abundance of nutritive
material to support an animal in high
condition, The question is, whether the
animal will eat and can digest sufficient
quantity. This depends upon the hay
and the capacity Of the stomach.

THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.
A Stirring Suggestion from Promi
Resident American.

"A Stirring Suggestion from PrOmi
Resident American.
Secretary Howard, of the Board Of Trade
has received the appended letter from promi-
nent American, resident in Aspinwall
To the Chamber OF Commerce, Boston,
Mass Gentlemen: Probably you are aware OF
the fact that, in 1910, an American named
Wheelwnth having obtained concessions from
the various coast republics for establishing
line OF steamers visited the United States and
vainly tried to obtain the cooperation OF our
mercantile community in establishing line.
He then went to England, obtained the neces-
sary capital, and the line was started. Result
the English have now the control OF nearly
all the trade of the coast, doing fifteen times as
much MS we do, and this line has 40 steamers,
with a tonnage of 1884, goo tons. In 1900 the
Panama Railroad Company was completed,
owing to the efforts OF William ii. Aspin-
wall, Henry Chaunccy and John ;.
Stephens, three Americans, and until
December IA, 1888, the transit was in
Amer lean hands, On tn t day the control
was turned over to the French, and now conf
mences the evacuation of the isthmus by
Americans. There is no doubt but what the
French will run a line of steamers within a
year from New York to Aspinwan and one
from Panama to Acapulco, in opposition to
| the lines of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
| pany; and, having control of the transit, they
have the master key. 1 call your attention to
the above facts. There is only one chance
| for us: petition Congress TO take up the
| Nicaragua canal. 1t can be built cheaper,
| quicker and with less labor than the one here.
| The French are very extrayagant, have nc
system ard are not practical. With an Ameri-
| can canal you save our Pacific trade and You
check great railroad monopolies. However, il

Prime Cause OF tho Epidemic, as Stated

Prime Cause OF tho Epidemic, MS Stated
by an American officer,
Major Thomas W, Walker, retired army
officer, who Is now in Paris, writes to a friend
as follows, ~ soc by the United States and
English papers thdt great scare has seized
upon tho civilized world ON account of the
appearance of cholera NJ loulon; but from all
accounts there was everything in favor of such
nm outbreak there, ii there had been none ex.
isting elsewhere in the world, And from nil
the means Of information am able to obtain
do not believe it will be widespread scourre,
The immediate causes may be stated thus,
Toulon was iull of poor, degraded, shlitless and
careless French and Italian aborers, It was in
horribly filthy condition. The water was
very impure and all sanitary measures Ind
soen grossly neglected, A perfectly torrid
season was ON hand, A mestral had blasted
and thrown to the ground vast Quantities Of
aprcots and ncctarines, These were gathered
and used in large quantities by the horde ofignor.
ant laborers, and in few days the natural resul,
followed, A panic ensued and 40, 900 peopl,
fastened away, carrying the disease with them
Even with all this il has made but very little
progress outside OF Ioulon, and Us all Europ,
is taking most vigorous sanitary measures,
cannot think it win work MS much devastation

A TRAIN WRECKED.
An Excursion Party Dumped ia Mud
and Water hut No Lives Lost.

A point on the Connotton Valley railroad,
two miles east of Canton, Ohio, has been the
scene of a terrible wreck, The employees of
Altman & Co. IS m1chine works held their an
nual picnic ut Chyahosa Falls, and over 200O
persons went ON tho excursion. There were
two trains of Is cars each. The first section
arrived ut Canton on ITS return at 7.30 o'clock,
p. M, and while hundreds of fathers, brothers
and sisters Were ut tho station witin for
friends and relatives on the second s, cti n, a
hatless messenger came running down the
track, crying that the train had been wrecked
and many OF the excursionists killed and in
iured, The scene which followed was OF the
widest description, and when the wreck was
reached men, women aud children ran around,
wringing their hands and looking for their
loved ones. Nine cars were off the track and
in waller four feet deep. The cries of the in
ured We're hcartrending, Hundreds of willing
hands Immediately set to work; and it was
soon found that not more than 25 persons were
injured. No one was killed and those missing
and supposed to be under the wreck have
turned up all right. The engineer says the
wreck was caused by the tracks spreading.

INDIGNANT INVENTORS.
The Patent Office About Six Months Be
hind in its Work.

Quite number of complaints have been re
ceived from inventors and pa ent solicitors in
regard to the delays experienced in having
their claims examined in the patent office at
Washington. Inquiry eliciis The fact that some
of the classes are behind from six TO ten
months, and that as n correspondent in
Washington puts it, "the office has gone to the
devil" He further says: ut Is disheartening
to file case recently, and is very much njur-
ing our business. 1t is great hardship to
inventors and assgnees Of patents, who have
large interests Mt stake, TO have the delay in
the business of the office such as is now occur
ring. 1t is estimated that the patent office has
earned altogether in fees something over
$4,000 900 above expenses, and 1t would seem
as if there was no excuse Tor shortening the
help in the various departments, and delaying
the business of inventors and manufacturers i'll

An Old Man of 20 Years Works His Pas

Old Uncle Billy Holland, the veteran boat
man, suddenly disappeared from his usua
haunts near New London, Conn, last October,
and was believed to have been drowned. He
was genial eccentric character, and was
IN ssed by every one. He has just reappeared
in his usual robust health and uncoumonly
good spirits, and tells OF quite remarkable
experiences, considering his 10 years and
long life of constant hard work. Uncle
