Indian Corn in Italy.

W. A. Croffut, in one of his enter taining letters from Italy to the Chicago Hatcr Ocean, says: One of the common est crops here, and the one most wei come to the American eye, is Indian corn, or, as they always call it, maize. We saw few fields in Belgium, but it was sowed broadcast for fodder. In Bavaria there was considerable growing in hills and ripening into ears, but they fed it only to pigs, not regarding it as fit for human food. I felt like adapting the witty retort of the Scotchman, and saying: "That accounts for the superb ority of Bavarian hogs and American men," Before we reached Verona, how ever, we became aware that maize had become a prime crop of Italy. have no figures on the subject, but they must grow nearly as much as they do of any other product, except the grape. All the way from Verona to Venice, and from Venice to Bologna, and from Bo- logna to Florence, Indian corn, hemp, flax and grapes nod to each other from field to field.
 asked the porter at our hotel in Florence how long they had had Indian corn, and he said, "Always, never with out the maize"
 I assured him that it was an original  staple of America, and that we revealed it to other nations. "Oh, well," he said, "then Christophe Colombo must bring him over long, long, long time ago." Certain it is that Indian corn is one of the great staples of Italy. ] have seen it cooked in many different forms, one of the incest being the maize wafer, as thin as "Boston chips," sold on the street and eaten by the populace.

What Christine Nilsson Eats.

"My breakfast" said the Swedish prima donna, "consists of cup of coffee and single roll, and for dinner take soup, meat, vegetables, cheese, bread and wine. If I sing I have nothing more to eat until the next morning. Otherwise, have cup of bouillon be- fore retiring, and always hot bath. I own a pair of Norfolk ponies, which drive when am home, but am afraid of strange horses and strange drivers, so I take my constitutional by walking two hours every morning. go alone, for I do not want to talk, because the cold air gets to the lungs and is apt to injure the voice ultimately. Yes, I am rigor. ous with myself, but I owe that care not to my own health, but to the company am hired by and the public that pays to hear me. am always ready, in con- sequence, and have never asked for the indulgence of the audience or an excuse from the manager. never failed to keep an engagement but once, and that was unavoidable. live in England a great deal as the guest of the Duke of Albany's family.

Bismarck's Snub to Congress.
PUBLICATION OF HIS LETTER DIRECTING THE RETURN OF THE LAsKER REsoLU- TION.

The Berlin O6iciaL Gazette publishes the following communication of Prince Bismarck to Herr Von Eisendecker di- recting the return to the American House of Representatives of it's resolu- ton of condolence at the death of Herr Lasker. It is dated Feb. 9.
 The following is the text of Prince Bismarck's communication
 Any recognition in a foreign coun- try of the personal qualities of German, especially when made by so important @ body as the American House of Representatives, is gratifying to our national feelings. I should have gratefully accepted the communication made by Minister Sargent, and should have asked the Emperor to empower me to present it to the Reichstag, if the resolution had not contained an opinion regarding the object and effect of Herr Lasker's political activity, which was opposed to my convictions. According to my experience of the political economic development of the Ger man people, I cannot recognize the opinion as one which events I have witnessed would justify. Ishould not venture to oppose my judgment to the opinion of such an illustrious body as the House of Representatives if l had not, by more than thirty years active participation in the internal policy of Germany, gained an experience which justified me in attaching a certain value to my judgment in questions of home affairs. I cannot determine to ask the Emperor for the necessary power to communicate the resolution to the Reichstag because should have officially to advocate be- fore the Emperor an opinion which I cannot recognize as correct.
 In conclusion, Prince Bismarck re- quests Herr von Eisendecker, the Ger man Minister at Washington, to send the communication to Secretary Ere linghuysen, and return to him the resolu- tion to Congress.
 Prince Bismarck's action continues to excite much comment. The friends of Herr Lasker in the Reichstag propose to demand of Bismarck on explanation of his course.

Comets.

Tycho Brahe first showed that comets are further away than the moon. New ton and Haley gave much time to their study. Some comets which have had beautiful tails as they neared the sun have. after coming close to him, had only short tail or none at all, while others have shown immense tails after having come within his atmosphere. The great comet of 1744 had six tails, and Biela's comet had two heads and two tails. These two pursued their course side by side, first the one brighter and then the other. Meteors are believed to be broken portions of comets. Comets are probably made up of gases. Some of them, when viewed through spec troscope present the same results as when carbon is looked at. The periods of comets vary, some, it is believed, e,,- ing round the sun only once in over 2,000 years.

Mrs. Lee made no reply, but her hus- band did not fail to observe that she lost almost instantly that rapid erectness with which she had been sitting, and that the motion of the needle had ceased.
 s'My shirts are better made and winter than those of any other made in the shop" said Lee, encouraged to go on.
 "Are they ?" Mrs. Lees voice was low and had in it slight huskiness; she did not turn her face, but her husband saw that she leaned little toward him. He had broken the ice of reserve and all was easy now. His hand was among the clouds and few feeble rays was already struggling through the rift it had made.
 "Yes, Mary" he answered softly; "and I've heard it said more than once what a good wife Andrew Lee must have."
 Mrs. Lee turned her face toward her husband. There was light in it and a light in her eye, but there was something in the expression of her countenance that little puzzled him.
 "Do you think so? P she asked quite soberly.
 "What question !" eiaculated An drew, starting up and going round to the side of the table where she was sitting. "What question, Mary" he replied, as he stood before her.
 "Yes, darling" was his warmly-spoken answer. "How strange that you should ask me such 0 question"
 of you would only tell me so now and then, Andrew, it would do me good"
 Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her face against the manly breast of her husband, stood and wept.
 What a strong light broke in upon the mind of Andrew Lee; he had never given his wife even the smallest reward of praise in all the loving interest she had manifested daily, until doubt of his love had entered her soul and made the light all around her thick darkness. No wonder that her face grew clouded, nor what he considered moodishness and ill., nature took possession of his heart.
 "You are good and true, Mary, my own dear wife, am proud of you, I love you, and my first desire is for your hap piness. Oh, if always see your face in sunshine my home would be the dear est place on earth"
 "How precious to me are your words of love and praise, Andrew" said Mrs. Lee, smiling through her tears into his face.
 "With them in my ears my heart can never lie in shadow"
 How easy had been the work for An drew Lee. He had swept his hand across the cloudy horizon, and now the bright sunshine was streaming and n>,~tsiI's Uar7 he,rrre ss.-<1 ieo'tsty. l-POp,tlGr Monthly.

The Queen lIee.

"Aud speaking of how the Americans are becoming exporters instead of im- porters recalls an incident in my experi- ence. Some time ago I found a shoe- maker in i'll health struggling along in Boston. He knew something about bees. l had piece of land in San Der nardino county, Cal, which I offered to sell him, and gave him some help to get out there with his family. He prospered in bee culture, and when we were in California the Inst time went and saw him. We were about going to Europe then, and he asked me to take over m American queen. He was confident that the American queen bee possessed more vigor than the Italian. consented, and he improvised box for it by boring in a piece of wood, put in some honey, some wax, and some of the flowers of Southern California, and gave it to me. Two months later I was repacking our trunks in Boston when I came across my Cali fornia bee. I said, Well, I guess the queen is dead. I had forgotten all about her. A tnp on tho box showed, how ever, that the queen was alive and when I arrived in Paris I presented her to the American Consul, according to instruc- tion, and he sent the bee, as desired, to the Department of Agriculture. Upon returning from Switzerland the Consul said that he had letter of commenda- ton for me to bear to my California friend from the Department of Agricul- ture. The Americans claim proved true. It was satisfactorily demonstrated to the Department that while the Italian queens produced but 40 per cent. of working bees the American queens produce 6a per cent. My California man is sending all the bees he can spare to Franco now in little packages by mail that cost him two cents to post, and is getting SC apiece for every one of them."

The Old Water.WheeI.

Everywhere in Europe we have found the grain mills stationed in the languid streams and propelled by undorshot wheels-that is, the floating mills are anchored, and the great wheels are slow ly turned by the water running by. These are along the Rhine, in the Ider, the Adige, the Pc, the Arno. The wheels go at a snail's pace, but that is the pace of all Europe, and it doe. mt take much celerity to satisfy the restful spirit of the average Italian.-Letter from HaiU.

Not long ago n man stood absorbed in thought at the counter of a newspaper office in this city. He was writing some thing on scrap of paper, and as a friend passed him he caught at him as n drowning man catches at straw.
 'Give me a word" he exclaimed.
 Certainly" said his friend; "what kind of a word ?"
 "Oh, anything you can think of. It doesn't matter what"
 "How would collaborate do?"
 Couldn't be better. Thanks, ever SO much," and he inserted the word and handed in the advertisement.
 "The next morning the friend read:

A curious experiment is being tried in several corps of the Russian army. This consists in the introducing of dogs in- stead of men as sentries.
