The Emperor William Il Q man Of
exceedingly economical habits, and the
study lamp on his workable Is sim-
pie oil lamp of q pattern such as since
the introduction of petroleum lamps
can hardly be met with on the table OF
the humblest citizen of Berlin. But it
fact, so much as the difficulty which IN
old man has in changing habit. The
explanation is given by the British
American Register.
The Emperor has for years been &C.
customed to screw down the wick when
ever he ceases writing or reading or
leaves the room. When the petroleum
lamps finally came into general use.
the Emperor's valet, Krause, bought
one and put it on the workable.
True to his habit, his imperial master
screwed down the wick on leaving of
writing; and, as q matter of course,
the room was soon filled with an insup-
portable smoke, which greatly affected
the nose and eyes of the monarch, and
necessitated the opening of doors and
windows.
Krause finally volunteered the re-

But what are we to do, Krause?
Had We better get our oil lamp back
again? You know my eyes are weaker,
and require brighter light"
"Well, your Majesty, we can have q
new lamp made with an extra large
burner, so as to do away " it'll petroleum
altogether"
"Quite right, Krause, let us try it."
And Krause got lamp of the old
pattern, had the burner enlarged to an
almost colossal size, green glass shade
added to it, and to this day, the new
lamp, defying all innovations, asserts
its place OF honor on the workable of
the most dilligent of monarchs.-

THE Miles Republican, dominates COM
RADE Roscoe d. DIX of Berrien Springs for
the Office of commissioner of the state land
Office. The NoRTHERNER most heartily sec
onds this nomination. CoMRADE DIX is
well known to many of the citizens of Van
Buren, county and is held in very high
esteem. His nomination would add mater
tally to the strength of the republican ticket
in southwestern Michigan. Mr.. DIX is a
man of ability, integrity and honor, and is
eminently qualified by past business expert
ence to perform the duties of the office for
which his name has been suggested. The
Republican speaks of the public life and
services of Mr.. DIX as follows:
Mr.. Dix is a native of New York. but has
been a resident of this state and county for
80 years. He was educated in district
school and at Albion College. He gave mp
contemplated course at Ann Arbor and the
study of the law TO enlist in the service of
his country. and was one of the first TO enter
the army, enlisting in April, 1861, in Capt
Chas S. Mays Co. X, Second Michigan In
fantry, and saw three years of hard labor, as
did every man who marched In the ranks of
that renowned regiment. He was severely
wounded in gallant charge made by the
Second at Knoxville. Tennessee, on the oath
of November, 1863. He was taken prisoner,
but soon exchanged. He was never in q
hospital until wounded.
Mr.. Dix has served this county as Register
of deeds eight years, having been elected in
1864. &c, go and 1874. In 1865 he pur-
chased the abstract records of Berrien
County and has ever since been engaged in
the real estate and abstract business.
We can in conscience and honor recon-
mend Mr.. Dix to the Republicans of this
state as in every way worthy of and well
qualified for the Office of state land COM
missioner, and assure them that his nomina-
ton will strengthen the state ticket in south
western Michigan, where he is we'll and
favorably known and deservedly popular.

The Tariff on Wool.

The democratic majority of the committee
to whom the matter was referred reported
adversely upon the proposition to restore the
wool-tariff of 1867, and theorize in favor of
free wool.
The republican minority of the committee
presented strong report in favor of restor-
ing the tariff and sustain their position by
an unanswerable array of facts and figures.
There is, however, no hope for the wool
grower at the hands of the present congress.
The shibboleth of the democratic party is
free trade and it is nearly perfect in its pro-
nunciation. There is, at present. nothing
between the great wool-growing industry OF
the country and utter ruin, except the small
republican majority in the senate. Farmers
should remember this when they come to
cast their vote for congressman on the Sec
ond day of November next.

A Rash Professor.

A Scotch professor has made up his
mind never again on any consideration
whatever to tell his students what
high opinion he has OF the dead
March in Saul" Music, it should be
explained, is the delight of his declin-
ing years, and he puts the famous
march before everything. eff a stu
dent" he explained one unlucky day to
his attentive class, "were to tell me
that he absented himself from his class
in order to hear the Dead March in
Saul, 1 would consider the excuse
valid" The rash assertion was re-
ceived with cheers.
Next day the class was very thinly
attended, and the lecture interrupted
by the entrance of the juniors with
notes. Dear Sir" these read, II hope
you will excuse my absence to-day, as l
am off to hear the Dead March in
Saul, Dear Sir-Having heard that
the Dead March in Saul is to be
played to-day at the Cemetery, find
myself unable to stay away from it.
Hoping you will, etc" Dear Sir
You will be pleased to hear that, after
your remarks of yesterday on the sub
jew VI bhO DCbi Ahdl nuNO
bought a flute, ETC." The poor man
bore no for time, but the notes of alb
sence went from bad to wore. Dear
Sir" they began to read, II was yester-
day so fascinated by the Dead March
in Saul that l propose making care
full study of this solemn measure. In
these circumstances L hope you will
overlook my necessary absence from
the lectures for the next few days."
Dear Sir-I regret that on first hear
ing it the Dead March in Saul made
less impression on me than / expected.
As / would be reluctant, however, to
judge the piece by such slight acquaint-
ance, shall, with your permission, at
tend to-morrow's recital" And worst
of all: Dear Sir-We, the UNDER
signed, have pleasure in informing you
that we have joined music class for
the purpose of practicing the Dead
March in Saul Unfortunately, the
practicing takes place during the hour
of you lectures, which will prevent our
attendance at the latter being as regu-
lar as We could have wished."-St

Eggs OF Wild Birds.

Most persons are aware OF the fact
that the eggs of prairie hens were re-
garded as great delicac'es by the early
settlers in the west They were sell
dom put on tie market, and, as con-
sequence, people living in shanties en-
joyed luxuries beyond the reach of
most city ep;cures. The eggs of wild
turkeys are regarded by all who have
eggs produced by any kind of domes-
ticated fowl. The eggs of the pea-fowl
and Guinea hen are also regarded as
delicacies ly epicures. These birds
are but pal thy domesticated, and their
eggs have gamy flavor, probably be-
cause birds eat large quantities of in
scots and the seeds of wild plants.
Partridge eggs are regarded as supe.
rior TO the eggs of any of the birds pre-
viously mentioned, and are preferred
for drinking with choice wine. In En-
gland during the months of April and
May the poultertrs' shops in large
cities are supplied with plovers' eggs.
They are displayed in little nest-shaped
baskets, lined with moss. The retail
price of these eggs range from 3 to )
AAph lSI NtOLtAs oOinO-
times the basket will contain two or
three partridge eggs, the remainder of
the dozen being The eggs of the plover
or peewit. The eggs are collected by
q class of men who dislike to work, but
who make business OF hunting for the
eggs of wild birds. 1t requires much
skill and cunning to find the nests of
plovers. A skillful hunter is often
able to secure three dozen plovers' eggs
in day. He runs the risk of being
arrested for tresspassing, and of get
ting eggs that have been spoiled by the
process of incubation. He receives for
the eggs about third of the price the
dealer sells them for. Hunting for
plovers' eggs is not a very remunera-
tive employment, but it appears to offer
unusual attractions to certain persons
who are willing to tramp all day over
burrows and broken ground in order to
secure few tiny eggs. All attempts to
put stop to the collection Of these eggs
have been unsuccessful, and so many
are collected that it seems strange the
birds are not eXterminated.

spread by the young ladies' and. after a few
remarks by the president concerning the
satisfactory manner in which the work of
the club had been performed, all were invi-
ted to partake Of the tempting viands, to
which it is needless to say, they did ample
justice. Games, charades and music then
became the order of the evening, and one
pleasant feature of the latter was the singing
by the entire company of "Club Song"

the hour for disbanding came, all separated
with light hearts, and the hope that they
may meet again next fall, in an unbroken
circle.
