was urged on behalf of the prisoners that
they were ignorant of the poisonous nature
of the chrome yellow, but it is a we'll settled
principle of law that ignorance is no excuse
for crime, and in the case of Palmer, at least,
it was shown that his attention had been
called to the danger to which he was subjects

the use of the poison, because his customers
liked strichly colored' cakes and buns.

Perhaps no strike that has ever taken
place in this country was watched with
greater interest than that now in progress in
the West It is contest between two very
powerful bodies, and bids fair to be long and
serious. How it will come out remains to be
seen, but it is probable that the railroad
company will win if it holds out. The gen.
eral reasonableness and great ability with
which the affairs of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers have been conducted has
given the public very favorable opinion of
that organization. and there is good deal of
regret that its leaders have felt forced to
fight, and general hope that fair settle
ment may soon be reached.

EOITOkIAE NOTES.

Preparations for taking the eleventh ma
tional census are under way, and some por~
tions of the tenth are still unpublished. The
cost of the last census was over $5,000,000
which was considerably more than it was
worth
Electricity is rapidly making it's way. It
is announced that the Metropolitan Railway
company of London has concluded an ar
rangement with the Electric Traction COM
pany for the experimental running upon a
section of the railway of an electric locomo-
tive of the same power as the present steam
locomotives. If it should prove successful
the electric company is to have the option of
entering into an agreement for working the

The New York elevated railroad compa-
nies are blessing to. lawyers. Over three
thousand suits for damages done to real es-
tate have been brought against them up to
date, involving in their issue not less than
$20,000,0 900. There is hardly New York
upon realty who has not several of these
cases on his hands, and that these lawyers
will manage to reap harvest is made rea-
sonably certain by the policy invariably pur-
sued by the companies in prolonging each
suit far as possible, by every device
known to the law, until it is finally decided
by the highest court.

which is of singular historic interest
in the light of events which followed

Randolph and Mr.. Madison, in V'r-

Mrs. Dolly Madison was as en-
ergetic and charming hostess in her
own pain dwelling as in tho White
House. Mr.. Madison had been i'll.
and received his young guest in
bed. Once or twice during
tho evening tall. handsome,
mulatto woman entered 70 room TO
perform some menial service. Her
eyes were full of misery, and there
was about her the look of one playing
silent part in some terrible tragedy.
The young mans eyes followed her
curiously, and his host observed it.
''You are looking at that poor
womanP' he said. ~e.
"Yes. Slavery is n thing unknown

AusTRIA's DIPLOMACY.
HOW 1t Has Frequently Managed to Tri-
umph Over War.

now 1t Has Frequently Managed to Tri-
umph Over War.
There is no story in the history OF
the world more remarkable than that
of Austria. 1t is the history of the tn
umph of diplomacy over war and yet
of diplomacy dependent always for
its power on certain kind of military
strength. To us it seems that though
undoubtedly tho heterogeneous char
acter of the monarchy, which has al
ways weakened its armies, is
moro apparent on tho sur
face than ever yet that, in contest
with Russia which should take place a
year or two hence, Austria would be
practically stronge than she has been
az any time in her history. The Aus
trian armies have probably sustained
more defeats than any other troops in
Europe, yet over and again she has
become the decisive power, whose in-
fuence, thrown into the scale. has de-
termined the issue of victorious war.
It was her union with the allies that
proved fatal to Napoleon in 1918. Her
unions with us during the campaigns
of Marlborough is connected with
some of the most glorious periods OF
our own military history. The power
of recuperation which she has again
and again shown after defeat has been
marvellous. 1t is no doubt due to the fact

AustrIa's Ruler.

AustrIa's Ruler.
Europo has no court where tho
women are so fair as the Austrian.
The Empress herself. though no longer
young. is still counted among beauti-
full women. She was once ravishnglY
fair and the traces of the beauty that
captured an Emperor can yet be dis
cerned. Hers was q romantic wooing.
Francis Josef had ascended the Aus
trian throne in 1S48. In 1858 mar
riage had been negotiated for him
with the lady who is now tho widow
of Prince Taxis. He went to tho
castle of his future father-in-law,
Duke Max of Bavaria. in order to be
officially betrothed. But the imperial
match makers had been making we'd
ding arrangements without having
taken tho littlo god that rules so
despotcally our lives into their con-
fidence.
For as soon as tho young monarch
caught sight of his intended bride s
younger sister, then n girl in short
dresses. he fell madly in love with
her, and so Princess Elizabeth was
chosen instead of Princess Helen.
The marriage took place in
April, 1854 But the Hapsburgs
were accustomed TO falling in
love like ordinary mortals A few
years ago there resided on the Ausseo
Lake near Ischl, tho widow of the
Archduke John of Austria, regent of
the German Empire in 1S4S. She was
known as Baroness Brandshof, was
originally the daughter of the post
master of Aussee. and rejoiced in tho
prosaic name of Anna Blochi Oao
day Archduke John. wearicd with q
days hunting, took lodging in tho
postmaster's house. ASA HN
In tho morning. when the buxom
daughter of the host brought him his
coffee, the Archduke was enchanted
with the girls appearance, and inn
madiately proposed kind Of left
handed marriage. OF this the old
peasant would not hear, saying:
EITHER marriage or nothing" The
Archduko considered tho matter, and
after creating the old postmaster Baron
Brandthorf, married his daughter and
lived happily with her until his death.
Upto few years ago. and. perhaps,
now, his widow lived at Aussee, close

generations ago tho blood which now
rules these millions was selling old

! once visited the home of all

looked at the littls banking-house

child began to take articles on pawn
and to shave notes for so much per
cent. 1t is in the dirtiest part of
Frankfort, and it has about the same
surroundings rs Eve Points, New
York. Tho street is dirty, its inhabit-
ants are secondhand clothiers, and it
bears much the same aspect now MS it
did when the mother of all the r Rpths-
childs gave birh to the financier who
laid the foundations of this immense
wealth. The Rothschilds own their
old properly here today, and their
bank still has branch here. ESmSi
When Anselm Rothschild died, lcav-
ing his IS 900 000 to his five sons, he
made them promise to keep the fortune
in the family and to carry on the bus
mess together. They kept their oath,
and it is this policy that has been the
handspring of their success. Through
generations they hav1 worked to-

millions have bred faster than their

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.

An Eastern exchange says: The results
Of last Summers experiments conducted
at Mansfield, Conn.,, by the Storrs Agri-
cultural School, just published, deeply
interest farmers. These experiments, for
which provision was made by Congress,
simed at determining the value Of surface
sillage to enable crops to Withstand
drought. Elaborate tests were made to
ascertain the difference between the evap-
grafton from compact layers Of top soil
and from the same soil when loosened
and cultivated.
The results show clearly that the soil
lost more water when compact than when
stirred to a slight depth. A compact
layer at the top Of the soil, like an empty
sponge, absorbs the ground water and
brings it to the surface, where the intense
heat Of the sun changes it to vapor and
the wind carries it away. If the layer
be loosened by the hoe the openings in it
contain more air, which is a poor conduc-
tor Of heat and helps to protect the soil
against the drying effects of sun and
wind.
If American farmers generally heed the
teaching of these experiments there will
be a large increase in their harvests, es-
pecially in the vast prairie regions of the
West and Northwest, where the Summer
rainfall is often deficient.
