The Prince of Wales has become tired
of waiting for the queens old shoes, and
has pointedly intimated to her that in
his opinion neatly written letter of alb
ducation would be one of the prettiest
souvenir of her reign which she could
transmit to posterity. His lately as
sumed dignity of father-in-law makes
his highness feel somewhat old, and he
fears that perhaps if matters are not hur-
ried up somewhat his reign may be very
short, or possibly be entirely cut off. The
queen is somewhat jealous of he'll pre-
negatives and the chances are that she
may resent this gentle reminder on the
part of her son. A petition de imbeciliio
may be necessary in this case, as was a
petition de lunacy in the case of his
grandfather.

The What and Why of Agricultural

The What and Why of Agricultural
Experimental Stations-Farmers' Bulle-
tin No. issued by the office of expert
ment stations of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, Prof. w. o.
Atwater, director. This is a brief &C
count of the experiment stations, what
they are, what they are doing and how
they do it, together with short history
of the origin and development of exper-
mental station work in this country and
an account of work in the same line in
Europe. An immense amount of inter-
esting and valuable information is COM
pressed within the narrow limits. sixteen
pages, of this little pamphlet. Amongst
other things we learn that no other
country in the world has under
taken scientific work for the ben
eft of the farmers on such
vast scale as the United
States; that in great many cases
single line of investigation pursued at
an experiment station has saved more
money to the farmers of the state than
It's entire cost of maintenance; that the
effect of the farmers themselves in spite
of the short time the experiment stations
have been in existence has been most
marked. inducing them to seek to apply
the results of scientific research to their
work. This work cost the country, in
GLIDING both state and national appro-
priations, over 100000, and employs
over $40 scientific men. This expense,
however, is but trifing one in compari-
son with the annual value of our agri-
cultural products, which is not less than
2 200 million dollars.

Martha's Epitaph.

Down in Houston County, Ga, there Is
an ancient village called Old WilSer. In
its most prosperous days there was big
school there, and a teacher came from the
North to take charge of the academy. His
name was Moore. He lost his wife, whom
he loved very dearly. He had her buried
in the old burying ground Of Wilmer. and
out of the meager funds be erected mar
bic tombstone at the head of her grave.
AS it was in the wild wood, as cemeteries
generally were then, it was a favorit to
hunting ground for the juvenile popula-
ton. Thus il came about that the half
obliterated epitaph appears to-day, cut
deep in the messy stone: Boys, Don't
Shoot Birds Around Martha's Grave"
The name, Martha Anne Moore, with da tie
of birth and death, appear above. 1t is a
curious epitaph, and it is the only bit of
history left concerning the old teacher and
his wife.

JACKSONVILLE Fla, March News has
Just reached here from Okeechohe of a
bloody ARRAY among the Seminole Indians

let through the head of "Wankeemicco, "
chief of the Miamias, killing him in

Young Tiger" son of 'Old Tiger" and
probably the finest Seminole living,

wan Just in time to see his
father drop to the ground a corpse and
with a blood curdling warwhooD he
sprang upon the maniac and hand to
hand fight for possession of the rifle fol
lowed. Tiger was the superior in strength
but was at the wrong end of the gun, and
before he could wrestle it from his antag-
onist he was shot dead. The maniac then
killed two papooses of his sister and at
tackled bucks, squaws and children indls-
crimlnably. He was finally caught and
shot dead by Billy, another Seminole
brave In less than half an hour eight In
dians were killed.

BUT ONE CHANGE TODAY.
Governor Rusk fer Agriculture the Only
Transformation or the Slate


WASHINGTON, March 2--There was a
decided lull in cabinet speculation today,
the general opinion being that seven Of
the eight places to be filed had been dis
posed of. AS to the agricultural portfolio
doubt still prevails, although the belief OF
a majority of politicians is that Governor
Rusk Will be asked to take it.
Senator Palmer is out of the race. The
Ohio man in this connection proves to be
Grand Master Bingham, of the State
Grange. He is said to be an
old friend of General Harrison's,
but whether that will be
sufficient to give him a place the future
must determine He fulfills the alleged
requirements that the secretary must be a
farmer. All indications point tonight to
q settlement of the cabinet question in
accordance with the slate given last night
with the substitution of Governor Rusk
for secretary of agriculture.
General Harrison received large
number of callers this afternoon and
evening President Cleveland called about
4:30 in company with Colonel Wilson, OF
the army. ard remained about half an
hour About o'clock General Harrison
took a long drive about the city,
being away from the hotel
nearly an hour. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Russell Harrison and wife and
Mrs. Saunders. In the evening the presi-
dent-elect excused himself to visitors in
order to take needed rest and in order to
make final arrangements for Inaugural
tion. An exception, however was made in
the case of Senator Allison who remained
with him about ten minutes.
One Of the incidents of the evening was
the presentation to General Harrison, by
4 Oh of nf h.o al
mounted cane of rosewood with the re-
quest that he use it on the occasion of his
Inauguration. Mr.. Wright explained that
his grandfather presented the cane to Gen
eral Harrison's grandfather, President
William Henry Harrison, and the latter
carried it when he was inaugurated, but
after his death the cane was returned to
Mr.. Wright's family and had been in their
possession ever since. General Harrison
accepted the cane with thanks.

BERLIN, March 1.-The recall from
Samoa OF Herr.Knappe, the German consul.
has been promptly followed by the dis
patch of Herr Steudt, former consul gener-
al at Copenhagen, to replace him. Herr
Steudt, after an interview with Bismarck
left for Hamburg under instructions to
reach Samoa by the quickest route.
Steudt's mission is ii special one. His
position in the consular service entities
him 10 a better post than Samoa, but if his
presence there is followed by harmonized
relatives with America he will obtain
higher rank.
1t is expected in official circles that COM
plete concord will be established as soon as
President Harrison's cabinet gets in thor
pugh touch with the incidents causing the
dispute.
The Borsen Courier adversely critcizing
the increase of the German squadron in
Samoan enters and asserts that that the
order for the dispatch of the war ships was
not given through Bismarck, but TO the
admiralty by superior authority.

misunderstanding Is on Secretary Bayard
II says that it hopes that his successor will
accept the friendly approaches OF Germany
In the cordial spirit in which they are
rendered. The whole line Of the semi
