whereby justice miscarried. He was some
what bitten with the idea of trial by jury as
carried on in England, but did not under
stand exactly the English method. He now
sent for Aldbury and questioned him on the
subject
"Sse here.- he said, "these two-this La
zinka and the Demoiselle ,Mansfeld-are both
under accusation Of treason. would have
them tried by jury. How could it be done"
"nothing is easier. Twelve men must be
sworn in, impaneled, and after an open
trial.
"a public trial." exclaimed the king.
Certainly, your majesty"
"But we never have our trials in public ~
"No, your majesty; and, sire, excuse the
freedom if say that this shocks and .stounds
secretly questioned, and worried, and tor
mented"-
"He is no longer tortured, a" interrupted the
"Your majesty is right, and yet-if he
will excuse the liberty-is wrong. The body
of the accused is no longer put on the rack
only his mind. He is not even told what he
is accused Of Everything is wrapped in
mystery, and healthy public opinion"-
Healthy public opinion-tiddlesticks," in
terrupted the king Enough We will
have this trial conducted in the English
fashion. Twelve men sworn in, one judge
and the whole in public. That would be
comical"
MAY it please your majesty to allow me
to visit the accused in prison"
sob, yes, certainly. You shall have our
order"
Furnished with the royal pass, he vent to
Spandau, where the young count was in
prison, and consulted him. From him he
could learn nothing. Then he visited Sophie
in the prison at Berlin. From her, also he
could gather nothing. His conviction that
neither had written the word "Tyran" was in
tensified by these visits. 1t was clear to him
that the trial must turn upon certain techni-
calities connected with the manufacture, and
he again visited the young count to ask him
if he would consent to his-Aldbury's-act-
ing as his advocate. He was not lawyer,
he knew nothing of law; but if there was
something to be unraveled in this mysteri-
Gus case, he, who was acquainted with all the
processes of porcelain manufacture, he who
was in and out of the royal factory, had
special means of observation and inquiry,
and would be far more likely 20 come to the
bottom of the matter than another. 1t was
true that he spoke broken German, but new
ertheless he had sound English head, and
was possessed of sufficient English self conf
dence to assure himself he could convince u
jury if only he found how the mysterious in
scription had come on the vase. LaZinka
cheerfully consented to the offer.

CHAPTER ".

A good deal Of jealousy had been reused in
Berlin by trial which had occurred not
long before, lin which a poor student who gave
lessons for his livelihood had been con-
demned to death, on his own confession, for
the murder of a widow in whose house he
lodged. One morning the old woman was
discovered dead in her bed, strangled, with
a cord round her throat. Suspicion rested
on the young man, thinner, because there
was no one else on whom suspicion could
rest; and he was taken into custody. Ac-
cording to the Prussian, and, indeed, the
general German system, the accused was
subjected to secret examination, and even
to torture, to wiring from him a confession.
In his agony on the rack, he promised, if
taken off, to admit his guilt. He did so, and,
on his confession, was condemned. The chan
celler, Cocceji, heard Of the circumstances,
and ordered fresh inquiry, especially a re-
inspection Of the corpse. The Berlin hang
man was shown it, when he at once declared
that the knot tied in tho cord could only
have been so tied by hangman or his
apprentice, as it was special knot
only used in the profession This led to
q further investigation, and to discovery of
the real murderers, two hangman's appren-
tices at Spandau, the brothers Of the deceased
Whereupon the student thinner was dis
charged When asked why he had admitted
his guilt when he was innocent, he frankly
said that the torture to which he was sub
jected wss SO uncomfortable that any innocent
man would rather confess murder than en-
dura it.
Frederick the Great thereupon abolished
the use Of torture in criminal cases. He was
not. however. satisfied that this was the only

There arc two insects among many
which attack squashes - the squash
vine borer and the cucumber beetle
The moth of the first named deposits
its eggs on the stems of the young vines
near the roots, about the time they be-
gin to run, and the young Larvae from
them bore into the stem. The full
grown larva is nearly an inch long, tap
ering to each extre nifty, of a whltish
color, with a dark line along the back.
Changing to the perfect insect, it comes
out a handsome OH Ct half an inch
long, somewhat resent bling the perfect
insect of the peach grub. The pres
enco of the borcr is indicated by the
sickly appearance of the plants. Elk
amino them and cut out the
enemy. The moths may be pre-
vented from deposlting their eggs by
banking up the young vines as they
grow. The striped or cucumber beetle
is much moro common and is rather
smaller in size. 1t attacks squash and
melon vines, without much preference
for either. The Iarva attacks the stem
at or beneath the surface, and the per-
feet insect or beetle eats the tender stalk
or leaves. 1t thus becomes a double
enemy. There are different remedies.
For small patches of plants the thumb
and finger closely applied is an efficient
remedy for the striped beetle; or they
may be excIu led from the plants with
boxes open at the bottom and covered
with muslin at the top, Paris green
is the best remedy on larger scale.
Mix it very thoroughly with twenty
times as much flour and dust it thinIy
over the plants. It viii prove certain
death to all that eat it, The larva
should be cut out by hand. -[Chicago

An inventive genius or habit IS most
useful in farm work. There are runner
GUS occasions when some immediate de-
vice must be found to meet some mex
pccted difficulty, and unless this IS IN
vented for the occasion the thing IS not
done. 1t is an indication of dull fac
ulty when a person says at cannot be
done" and makes no effort to accom-
plish the purpose desired. But by re-
peated trials, after thought given to the
nature of the difficulty success is usu-
ally accomplished. This habit of self
reliance is to be encouraged in every
way, and its existence and practice arc
to be found most where least expected
md among the least intelligent farmers
that is, those who have no knowledge
of art or science and never read a book
or paper. We recently came across a
farmer with an OK harnessed to a cart
in the most original manner. The cart
was wholly of wood made with no other
tools but an axe and an augcr; the har-
ness was wholly Of thongs made Of
hickory bark, and thu whip was a
hickory sapIlng having a lash made Of
the bark of the upper part plated in the
round thong usual with the best leather
whips. Among such farmers gates,
doors, hinges, and many other necessary
domestic articles are made Of wood, and
the haiti of making these things serve
on emerge1 cies tends to a habit Of self
reliance, quick apprehension, and in
ventive appliance of the simplest mate
rails that surprises even an educated
mechanic. With an axe on the wagon
or buggy---a spring, an axle, or q wheel
may break---the damage is repaired in a
few minutes 10y means of oak or hickory
withe5. More civilized farmers would
be helpless in such emergencies where
they could not run to the carpenter or
the blacksmith. Farm mechanics is
truly a subject that deserves study and
practice, and every farmer should at
least bring up one boy to this practice
which can b. learned at a trifli3g cost
at an agricultural college, New York

Churnin~ and Sailing.

What makes butter CONF? is the ques-
ton propounded by the United States
Dairyman. 1t is not known whether
conclusion or friction, or both, cause
the separation of the butter from the
buttermiIll in churnlng. But we sus-
pcct that conclusion is the real agent
that produces the separation, as we have
really seen no churn that did not in
some way produce more or less co1cus-
sion, All the churAs we have seen used
appear to produce good results, and we
find every dairyman is satisfied with the
work of the churn he uses, whatever tie
kind, style or patent. We cannot, there
fore, re commend any style of churn as
superior to another, but we prefer the
simple and less expensive forms, as not
only costing less, but being easier to
keep clean. The churning should be
steady and not violent. A too rapid or
sudden separation Of the butter from
buttermilk is not desirable. 1t is no
recommend alton for a churn that it
churns quick. Such a churn is apt to
injure the So called grain of the butter,
and make it salvy and greasy.
The least churning that will separate
the butter from the IuttermiIk is the
best. When to stop churning-The i'm
proved model method now in practice
by the best butter makers is to stop the
churn as soon as the butter Is collected
in particles the size of wheat kernel.
Just before this, when the first signs Of
the separation of the butter is seen, the
sides of the churn are washed down
with cold water usually below 60 de-
grees, or about 55 degrees-to not only
prevent waste, but to harden the but
ter and make it easier to handle. When
the granules are the size of wheat ker-
nels the butter IS drawn off, or the but
ter taken out of the buttermilk, as the
case may be. If the butter is left
in the churn water is poured in
to float the butter, which is then gently
agitated a moment and the water drawn
off. This operation is repeated until
the water runs clear. Sometimes one
of the washings Is in brine, which CO.
agulates the caseino into soluble form
and prepares it to be washed out after
ward. In this way it is believed tha
purer, longer keeping butter can be
made. In some cases, however, butter
makers have customers who want a bu.-
termilk flavor in their butter. Thev,
therefore, do not wash the butter, OF
wash it very little. Such butter mu t
be consumed at once, as it will not keep.
By this method of retaining tie butter
IN a granuIated form only sufficient
working is required to evenly work in
the salt. The less working the better.
The salt, after the butter is properly
drained, can be carefully mixed with
the butter by stirring. When thor

An Indian Potentate,s Wedding.

From early morning the windows and
balconies were filled, and the roads were
lined with crowds of eager spectators.
At about T. 30 o'clock the Maharojah Of
PuttaiI, seated on a moving throne "a
beautiful vehicle cons tructcd for the
occasion, and drawn by two elephants),
preceded toward Sanaur, where the
wedding was to take place the same
evening President Sir Dewa Singh
rode alongside his highness on a SPLEEN
did horse, with rich trappings, and the
officials of the State followed on ele-
plants, according to rank. II. cav
airy and infantry drawn up at suitable
places on the road, presented arms as
the procession passed. The Maharajah
wore his rich wedding dress, which was
conspicuous not so much for the famous
argrette of diamonds and other histor-
ical jewels, as for the strings of pearls,
called sebra, hanging down from his
turban, and glittenng in the rays of
the sun. The scene was an imposing
one. What with the booming of salute
guns, and the beating of tomtons, the
noise was deafening. The elephants,
with gold and silver howdahs, horse
men and State palanquins came IN regu-
lar succession, and were followed by a
regimental band OF pipers, who played
on their instruments music adapted for
the native ear.
On the arrival of the party at point
about midway his hi ,hncss was met by
the people of the brides party. After
the presentations the Maharajah, mount
ed on a gorgeously caparisoned elephant
and accompanied by his chief minister
and high officials, went on to Sanaur.
Here separate camps had been prepared
for the Maharajahs OF Jhind, Nabbha.
and Dholepore. At night each camp
was brilliantly Illuminated. At night
the ceremony called phiras, or the
marching round the fire, was performed
at the temporary residence Of the bride.
The guests were entertained for three
consecutive nights, and the Maharajah
held a durbar in honor Of the occasion.
