WOmt n Rulers In EurODe.

The close of the Nineteenth century
promises or threatens to be period of
pettlcoat government. A probable en-
presS-queen is growing up in Austria.
there is regent in Spain, and next a
baby king afflicted with nervous dis
ease. Two healthier children girls both,
stand in the order of succession. The
heress apparent to the throne of the
Netherlands is a girl. Said to me an ex-
minister to the court of st. PETERSBURG
THE ear two sons are mallngres ct
chetifs, and there is prospect of a
czarina in her own right" The impe-
rial crown of Brazil must soon fall to the
crown princess, woman of moral
stamina and fine emotions. She has
carried, against high and threatening
tide of opposition, the abolition of slavery.
1t is to correct the feeble constitution
of the czarewitch that the car has been
brought to entertain the idea of marry
ing him to a young lady of a hardy
mountain race not consanguine in any
degree with him. Her offspring, if she
had any, might be an improvement on
the existing Romanoffs. The Montene-
grin princess and the czarewitch would
form such couple as Mary Stuart and
Francis Ii. The queen of Greece, the
same diplomatist tells me, has gone to
st. Petersburg to induce the car to pre-
fer her daughter to the princess from the
Black mountain. Review

Singular Plant in Georgia

A queer little growth makes its APP
pearance in the wire grass country OF
Georgia. 1t is called by the natives the
dollar plant, from the singularity of its
leaves, which are perfectly round, lying
fiat upon the ground, and when full
grown the exact size of a dollar. When
the plant is pulled up it is seen that the
leaves retain their perfect roundness from
their incipiency, and grow through all
the gradations the money takes, from
the size of the silver five cent piece to
dimes, quarters. halves and the coin from
which it takes its name. In summer it
throws out from the center cluster of
yellow flowers. Brooklyn Eagle.

and that he may retire to his cocoon and
lament his lost Importance in silence.
The new material is made, we are told,
from kind of collodion, to which has
been added perchloride of iron and tan

somewhat complicated, but the result
seems to be all that can be desired in the
way OF providing a substance practically
equal to good silk. Frank Leslie's.

Individuality of Various St2.cs-

When we study state at its center,
its political action, its organization. its
| spirit. the management of its institutions
of learning and of charity, the tenden-
| cies. restrictive or liberal, of it's legisla-
| ton. even the tone of social life and the
! code of manners. we discover distinctions,
individualities, almost as many differ
ences as resemblances. And we see--the
saving truth in our national Iife-that
each state is a well nigh indestructible
entity. an empire in itself. proud and
conscious Of its peculiarites, and Jealous
of its rights. We see that state bound
aries are not imaginary lines, made by
the geographers, which could be easily
altered by the central power Nothing,
indeed. i'll our whole national develop
ment, considering the common influences
that have made us, is SO remarkable as
the difference of the several states Even
on the lines of common settlement. say
from New England and New York, note
the difference between northern Ohio,
northern Indiana, northern Illinois. Wis
consin and Minnesota. Or take another
line and see the difference between
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, south
ern Illinois and northern Missouri
But each state, with it's diverse popu-
lation, has a certain aomogeneity and
character of its own. We can under
stand this where there are great differ
ences of climate, or when one is NOUN
famous and the other is flat But why
should Indiana be SO totally unlike the
two states that flank it in SO many of the
developments of civilized life or in re-
tarded action; and why should Iowa. in
its entire temper and spirit, be SO unlike
Illinois? One state copies the institutions
of another, but there is always some !
thing in its life that it does not copy from
any other.-Harper' Magazine.

Insects DESTROYING Timber.

1t is said that worms are often more
destructive to forests than fires or whirl-
winds. The insects lay their eggs under
the bark and they hatch in the darkness,
which Is necessary element for their
development. When they hatch into
the grub form they bore their way into
the sap wood and then make a circle
around the tree once, twice, and perhaps
three times, before it is time for them
to turn into perfect winged insects This
stops the flow of the sap and the growth
of the tree, and eventually the tree dies.
Large tracks of dense forest in Maine
have been destroyed in this way, and
sometimes tracts in the Adirondacks.
1t is claimed to be better for the forest
to let in the woodman and allow him to
thin out the trees and thus give light and
AIR to the earth and forest growth. These
insects will not develop where there is
plenty of air and light, and it would be
well for those who own a tract of wood
land to bear this IN mind and thin it
sufficiently to prevent a dense, dark
growth. 1t is told of Maine man that
he held piece of foreS for thirty years
and would never allow any wood to be
cut on it. When he came to examine
1t he found that large part of it had
been ruined by the girdle worm.-

Where tho Nutmeg Grows.

/ Padding into little cove Oh the ssmth
side of the bay, we landed beside clear
| ripping stream. and. having ordered the
whole of the men to march in Indian file
in front we started by little rugged
path into the mountains. with my inter
prefer Immediately behind me and the
raJah just in front. Every foot of the
journey, which was laborious in the
extreme. disclosed fresh scenes of YER
dure and tropical splendor. Winding
along the stiles of deep ravines. some
times dragging ourselves up by the
creepers and underground. we ultimately
attained an altitude of about |, 900 feet
above the sea and then entered the nut
meg country. Here we halted and
rested. The rajah pulled some of the
nutmegs and explained how far they
were from being ripe.
Having rested sufficiently we again
started forward, and after scrambling
along for about an hour we gained fine
piece of tableand. over which we trav-
eed for about another half an hour. when
we reached three houses erected in the
very heart of the forest. These were
used by the natives for driving the nut
meSs. The country was everywhere
magnificent and the aroma of the spice
laden air delicious. Nutmeg and other
equally valuable trees were everywhere
growing in great profusion. The fruit
of the nutmeg in appearance resembles
pear, and when ripe opens and displays
the nut covered with beautiful red
coating of mace. The nuts are then
picked from the trees, put into baskets
and taken to the houses. where thew ar,
husked and placed OH shelves. They are
then partially roasted over a slow fire
until all the moisture is extracted. After
this they are cooled and carried down to

who frequent the gulf in their small
prows or lunkos at the proper season.

A Paradise for Bankers.

ManShooria appears to be the paradise
of bankers. Our consul in Newchwanp
says that it is well known wealthy man
darins and merchants, not caring for
their wealth to be known, make deposits
with bankers without taking receipts,
and that 1t is curious fact that rather
than risk the loss of capital so deposited
by its becoming known to the paternal
government, to whom probably such
capital rightly belongs. no interest is de-
rived from such deposits, except of course
for the bankers own investments. AT
the death of depositor>his heir may not
know that 100 900 taels, more or less,
are deposited in some bank or other.
From such causes as these, says this au-
thority, native bankers become very rich.

Presentation to the Queen.

don't suppose one lady or gentleman
out of 5000 i'll England ever dreams of
pelng presented to the queen. 1t is of
course. quite proper to the whole 5, 900
TO do SO. But 1t Is quite unnecessary.
Some people think that by being pre-
sented at court they get invited to state
Dalls and concerts and to entertainments
given by the Prince of Wales. There is
| great mistake in regard to this Here
Is where the error is. No one can be in
vlted to state entertainment unless he
or she has been presented at court Pre-
sentatlon is sine qua non. But it is not
the only thing necessary. There are
other considerations which have to be
taken into account l don't fancy that
more than one person out of 100 who are
presented at court ever gets an invitation
to state bali or concert at Buckingham
palace. or to a Prince of Wales garden
party at Marlborough house.
The other ninety nine might have been
presented, SO far as being asked to state
entertainments is concerned. For Ameri-
can ladies or gentlemen to rush over to
England and spend a lot of money ON
court dresses, in the hope that the day
after the drawing room they will be
asked to dinner with the queen, or to
luncheon with the Prince of Wales, is a
fondly cherished delusion from which
time will soon awaken them. Presenta-
ton has grown SO common in these DAYS
that it is wonder % me that any sensi-
bic person, not compelled to undergo the
ordeal, care to submit themselves to it.
After all, cui bonoa Is the game worth
the candle? Its a pretty sight, no doubt;
but if curiosity be the motive, what be-
comes of the respect to the queen? 1t Is
quite useless to say anything. Ameri-
cans will keep on fiocking to the drawing
rooms and levees and giving the legation
something to do.-The Argonant.

billing Bnbbles with Gas.

Soap bubble parties were quite fash
ionable little time back, and grown
people took as much pleasure in the
pretty amusement as ever young people
did. OF course you all know how they
are made, but perhaps some of you do
not know that you can easily make them
fly up into the air like balloons. This is
how it is done: Get rubber tube, say a
yard long. and with an internal diameter
small enough to require a good deal of
stretching to force it over the gas burner.
After you have fitted it tightly over the
burner wrap the stem of clay pipe with
wet paper and push it into the other end
OF the tube, where it must fit so as to let
no gas escspe. Now dip the bowl of the
pipe into the soapsuds and turn the gas
on. The force of the gas will blow the
bubble for you, and as the gas is lighter
than the air, the bubble, when freed
from the pipe, will go rapidly up and
never stop until it collapses.- Philadel-
phia Times.
