WouLp.RE KINGS.
Fretenders to the Thrones of Sweden and
Norway and Denmark.

fretenders to the Thrones of Sweden and
Norway and Denmark.
Sweden and Denmark are both al
present besieged by pretenders to the
throne. One in the Swedish province
of East Gothland claims to be the I'M
fortunate Prince Gustaf, elder brother
of the reigning King who, in the be-
ginning of this century, while at field
maneuvre in Skone, suddenly fell
from his horse and died. is to this
day believed by large portion of the
peasants that Prince Gustaf did not
die, but was carried off to Norway be-
cause OF his intention to marry a girl
of humble birth. Having succeeded in
escaping, he let his beard grow and
went to Italy, where, under the name
OF Garibaldi, he effected the liberation
of that country. He is, however, not
dead, but will come and be the King
of the Swedes! So much for the Swed-
ish pretender.
The Danish one has just turned up.
There has arrived in Copenhagen from
Stettin two men, father and son, the
former sixty and the latter twenty-one
years old, with trunk loaded with
papers and documents to prove that
they are the direct descendants of the
house of Oldenburg, and to show that
if at the death of Friedrich VII. they
had possessed these documents they
could have proved their exclusive right
to the throne. They both bear the orig
al Of tha ~>f III,
Beck, and went the day after their ar
rival to the master of ceremonies to
seek an audience with the King They
were directed to seek it through the
German Ambassador, being German
subjects. The Embassy, after some
parley, did not act, and the pretenders
tried themselves to obtain an audience
to suggest that their claims-which
are attested by the highest German
authorities-may be subjected to
thorough scrutiny. To begin with,
they can claim an inheritance of $780,
900 marks with which to carry on the
case. They then applied to the Stettin
authorities for recommendation to the
German Council of the Legation
Neither of the two men looks as an
adventurer. Fhe older is tall and
slender, with an aristocratic bearing
and youthful and winning manners.
His features are in an amazing degree
like those of the late Russian Gar, so
much so that any one who has seen the
Cars picture is struck with the re-
semblance. The older of the two
gentlemen has passed the greater part
of his time in researches among the
archives and collections in Copenhagen.
Whole nights he studied his family his
tory, but he always was stopped at
vanished child. After fifteen years of
labor he has to his full satisfaction
proved that he is grandson's grandson
of this vanished child. Besides, he has
in his possession armorial and other
precious things to strengthen his claims.
The young Beck bears strong resemb-
lance to Prince Waldemar. and his ac-
quaintance with the affairs of the
House of Oldenburg is said to be the
most astonishing. Pail Mall Gazette.

The True Irishman the Most Approachable
OF Human Beings.

The True Irishman the Most Approachable
OF Human Beings.
The diet of the Irishman in this part
of the country is. of course, potatoes
and milk. AS he himself puts it, he
has potatoes twenty-one times week.
In the event of blight, such as the
historic one, the result in certain parts
of Ireland could scarcely be less disas-
trous than at any former period. Il
one may Judge by the physique of its
consumers, the diet requires no recon-
mendation of the medical faculty, for
a more stalwart race it would be diff
cult to find. In this corner of the
country so long preserved" we
should expect to find the natural Irish
man, and we certainly found him. The
native Irish is almost universally
spoken. but at the same time the ma
jority of the younger generation speak
English with brogue of the most ex-
quisite flavor. Here, also, we have the
Irishman in the typical attire to which
caricaturists have accustomed US. To
the visitor from the other island, it is
ludicrous picture to see him in tall hat,
blue-tailed coat and knee-breeches at
work in his wretched plot, like phi
losopher out for a little recreation. 1t
is not so much the style of his gar
ments, however, that makes his pictur-
esqueness; it is their positively miracu-
lous raggedness We feel that
this raggedness has quite passed
the stage of disreputability, and has
actually become ornamentation. But
70 is, above all, the hat that fixes the at
tention. We have often closely in
spected it and our wonder never
ceased how, in the course of single
life, any hat, however weather-beaten
and however brutally used, could at
tain that pre-Adamite look. 1t is the
great charm of travel in Ireland that
one can become acquainted with its
people in so short time and on such
easy terms The Irishman is the most
approachable of human beings, and as
the very Irishman the stranger wishes
to know is in most cases his own lord
and master, intercourse is thus made
doubly easy. If in the course of
solitary walk you should desire the
solace of a little conversation, you have
but to take your seat on one of the
turf walls that form the fences in these
parts of the country. If you are a
smoker and produce your pipe, you
will present an additional inducement.
Before you are well seated you will be
saluted with: "a fine day, sir, God be
praised!'' and a. careless figure will be
seen approaching with spade or pick
axe over his shoulder. Sharing yopr
tobacco with him, it will remain with
yourself to conclude the interview.
Before ten minutes have passed you
will have had the outlines of his family
history and his views ON things in
general, not even excepting his priest
At the end of as many hours CONVEX
sation as you please he will speed you
on your way with fervent "God pre-
serve you long," and part with you as
if you had been his lifelong friend

The occupation of Jaehne, the con-
victed ex-Alderman of New York, is
described thus: HE stands in front of
a table on which rests a vessel contain
ing starch water, and from basketful
of shirts which have been washed and
wrung out, he picks out one and dips
its bosom and wristbands in the starch.
Then he lays this shirt aside and re-
peats the operation until there are no
shirts left He leaves off work at six

A Glover concert was given at
Concord, Mass, the other evening. A
screen, painted to represent scene in
a flower garden, stood on the stage,
and before it were potted plants in pro-
fusion. Some of the painted flowers
were very large, and in the centre Of
each big flower was an opening, skill
fully concealed by movable cover.
Behind the screen stood the singers,
and their faces appeared in the centre
of the flowers. The singing flowers
were rose, dahlia, a sunfower, a
daaodil, pansy, a lily. tulip. daisy,
and a buttercup. IN. 7. San.

Old.Tine Farming.

Our veteran Georgia farmer, Major
John b. Dent, of Floyd county, in a
letter to the Country Gentleman, makes
this reference to much-discussed sub
ject: What has operated much against
the farmers of late days is depending SO
largely (or may say, entirely depend
ing) on expensive bought fertilizers, IN
stead of raising crops that would leave
vegetable matter to turn under to benefit
their lands. Making lot manures has
nearly been abandoned, as it was found
so convenient to purchase the CONNER
cial fertilizers, not taking into considera-
ton the expense Of such fertilizers, and
in some cases their worthlessness. This
unwise system has ruined many, both
in pecuniary results and in using fertl-
izers that were Of no permanent benefit
to their lands. Humus We need; with
out humus, the lands will not hold moist
ure; hence SO much complaint IS made
of droughts. To sum it up in a few
words, the best Of lands, and most favor
able seasons, cannot maintain any farm
er who buys his fertilizers and all his
food supplies. We want going back to
the old-time, common-sense farming
entirely self-sustaining and independent.
There is too much gilt-edge aboat it
now-more fancy than substance-when
we should remind ourselves that '.it Is
not al gold that gitters."

A REMARKABLE FORGERY CASE.
How Lad Of Sixteen Forged Judge Ashman'a
Signature.

One Of the boldest and most remarka-
BILE cases Of forgery by boy ever known
has just come to light in Philadelphia,
and it was no fault Of the boy that he
did not succeed in getting away with a
large sum of money. James Barber, Is
years old, who lives on the top floor Of
the Orphans Court building, is in prison
on the charge CT larceny and forgery.
Detectives Muller and Sharkey arrested
him N Mount Moriah Cemetery for
stealing warrant for 81, $50, belonging
to Judge William n. Ashman, and forg-
ing the name of the Judge and that OF
City Treasurer Bell in an attempt to
have it cashed. The warrant represented
the Judges salary for three months, and
was delivered by letter carrier at the
court building on Wednesday morning
last, it having been sent by mail from
the Auditor Generals Office at Harris
burg. The lad either took it from the
mail box or from a table in the Judges
room. He then wrote a letter to City
Treasurer Bell, saying:
Please give me check for this war
rant and send by bearer. Yours,
". n. AsEMAN.
Young Barber took the warrant and
forged note to Mr.. Bell. The warrant
was not endorsed, and the lad was told
to take it to the Judge and have him
sign his name on the back. The hope
full forger left, but instead Of going to
Judge Ashman he stopped at a place IN
vicinity and placed the Judicial signature
on the back Of the paper. He again
visited the City Treasurer, who, upon
carefully scanning the warrant, discover
ed that the amount was written SLIGO
in the body of the warrant, while the
figures were 81, $50. The lad was again
directed to return with the warrant to
Judge Ashman, and letter written by
the City Treasurer calling attention to
the mistake in the warrant was also sent.
When safe place was reached, the re-
dcubtable youngster destroyed Mr.. Bells
note and composed one Of his own. 1t
said: ''Please send up your your bill.
Something's wrong in your account. "
When the note was delivered to Judge
Ashman he was puzzled and said he
would call at the City Treasury. When
he called there the Judge and City
Treasurer soon learned the true state OF
affairs. The detectives were immediate
ly employed to catch the thief and
forger. Later in the day, seeing that he
was 5afled, he sent the warrant to Judge
Ashrnan in company With letter signed
Jimmy So-so. When arrested ne
made confession and also acknoWl-
edged that he had robbed a number OF
desks in the Court Building and stole
Judge Penrose's oyercoat last winter.

mostly articles Of jewelry, though there
were several beautiful presents Of silver

acter, and, in the language of one of the
Oldest employees, 1T never presented a
