The Royal Widows of Europe.

There never were, l think, SO many
royal widows in the regal circles of
Europe in existence at one time as
there are at present. Beginning with
Queen Victoria, the Empress Eugene
and the two German expresses, Au-
gusta and Victoria, there are now
Queen Christina of Spain, the Ouch
ess of Albany and, latest of all, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, whose aunt,
the mad Empress Carlotta of Mexico,
has never put on widows weeds, as
she is in daily expectation of tho arri-
val at her present homo of the Emper-
or Macmillan. What a brilliant des-
tiny that unfortunate prince throw
away when he left the charming
shades of Miramus to run after the
will-o-the-wisp grandeurs of q vision
airy empire in the new world. He would
have been now, by tho death of his
nephew, Prince Rudolph, the heir to
the Austrian throne, and popular and
beloved as he was, he would have been
rapturously hailed us the future en-
peror by the nations under the sway
of Austria. Napoleon Ill did his most
fatal work when he lured the intelli-
gent, amiable Maximilian from his
coujugal happiness and the brilliant
possibilities of his future, to work out
his own sinister designs, which were
not for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the I'M
fortunate archduke, nor even for the
regularization of French claims
in Mexico, but which were sim
ply covert acts of hostility against
the United States. II have carved
you an empire out of n block of
silver" was the remark of Napoleon
10 Macmillan when the latter came to
take leave of him. 1t was not an am
pire but q sarcophagus that the crown
ed Mephistopheles had followed out
for his luckless guest, and not from a
block of silver, but from one of gran
ite-not in sunny Mexico, but in the
dim funeral vault of the Hapsburgs.-

AS the use of electricity becomes
more general there is increased curl
osity to learn what it is, says The Elec-
trio Power. 1t is considered a mys-
FERROUS force, because in its normal
condition it cannot be seen. The wire
which conveys the current gives no
manifestation of the energy which is
passing through it. Just as the poet
said, 1--WE take no note of time save
from its loss" So with electricity, it
must be measured as it flies. 1t is true,
however, that its laws are perfectly
understood. Is it necessary that we
should know what it isl Nothing is
more familiar to us than the action Of
gravitation. We know that it is the
attraction of the earth. 1t holds the
atoms of the earth together and en-
ables us to perform all of the opera
tions which make up our daily life.
1t is, however, q mystery, but its laws
are as well known, and if we violate
them by jumping off a precipice
should we consider the force Of gravity
necessarily ~dangerousl Steam is also
something of a mystery. 1t has been
familiar to mankind since the dawn of
civilization, yet how man people
know that it is transparent and there
fore invisible until it comes in contact
with the air2

We frequently hear people interested
in mining speak Of bonanzas, expecting
them, being in bonanza, etc. All this is
calculated to make one believe that the
term is purely n mining ono, that it had
its origin there, and that, in fact, outside
of the mining world 1t has no exist
ence or meaning. This idea is very gen
cral, though few people who use it
can tell what 1t means, except hat if
their mine is in bonanza their stock will
be worth more than n dime n share.
The fact is that bonanza is, or was origin
ally, completely removed from mining,
and at first has no connection whatever
with it. 1t is q Spanish term, and signi-
fies fair wind and fair weather." 1t is,
of course, applicable to mining, or any
other branch of business, in the sense in
which it is applied, as, if a person is in
fair wind and fair weather" it is pretty
certain that the balances will be piling
up on the right side Of his ledger

In Florida, where ice is SO desirable
for cooling food and drink, it is not
naturally formed, and SO must be
made / visited an ice factory.
They have twenty tons of ice form
ing here all the time. They lift a tank
every thirty minutes, take out the ice,
refill the tank with water and replace
it The freezing takes forty-eight
hours. The tank they have just emp
tied will be filed soon, and a new
block of ice will be taken from it on
the day after tomorrow"
Now, it seems that this freezing
takes place so gently that a spray of
S may be put into a tank Of water
and frozen into the mass of ice with
out stirring a petal from its place.
There it lies imbedded, in all its
beauty of form and color-a marvel
GUS thing, 1 think. The icemakers
like to perform this experiment, as it
shows the clearness of their ice; and
pride is taken in freezing pieces of I'M
usual beauty and transparency.
a delicate spray of flowers, a cluster
of ripe fruit, Or a brilliant colored fish
are favorite subjects. Exhibitions of
such ~freezings are occasionally made
at fairs, and q particularly beautiful
or interesting piece makes a very at
tractive gift for a birthday or for
Christmas.
What a pretty way to preserve OBJ
jectsl / would like a collection of
Florida specimens SO preserved. No
dried out herbarium specimens; no
faded and distorted alcoholic prepare
tons; no unnatural taxidermist
mounts, but everything in its natural
color, its perfect outline, its living
beauty. Here, a clear little block
with a chameleon; here, a larger one
with a coiled rattle snake; there a
young alligator, a cluster of grape
fruit or oranges, a spray of flowers or
or a series of forest leaves. But alasl
such a collection would not last a sin

1.-THE latest and newest thing in
collins" said the Rev. Stephen Merritt,
is the earth-to-earth" casket. 1t is an
oblong casket made of rattan stripped
of its outer gloss. 1t is called earth
to-earth" because through its open
work meshes the air has free access TO
the remains, dissolution follows quick
ly, and the body soon assimilates with
the earth. The cost is about the same
as that of an ordinary coffin, from $75
up, according to the trimmings. The
present construction is an American
idea, but similar caskets have been
used in England. They are strong
enough for the purpose, yet they viii
sooner disappear in the ground than
any that have ever been used."-New

How to Stop n Runaway Horse.

When you see n runaway coming
do not try to check him by a rush from
the opposite direction or the side, for
you will be Immediately knocked flat
by the collision, but instead prepare
yourself for a short run with the
horse. Measure with your eye the
distance and start for the run while he
is yet some way off, perhaps ten feet
in the case of fair to medium run
Always. You may depend upon his
keeping a straight line, for a really
frightened horse is half blind, and
would not veer for a steam engine.
He will go straight aho.d until he
smashes into something. So do you
get close to the line on which he is
rushing, and, n he passes you, grab
the reins near the saddle. Gather the
reins firmly, and then, leaning back
ward as you run, give them a power
full yank- You may be able to brace
yourself somewhat as you give this
yank, half sliding on your feet. The
strong jerk on the bit tells the horse
that he again has a master, and pre-
pares him for the final struggle. A
step or two forward after the first
yank, do it again. This is the finish
ing stroke. 1t never fails when given
by q determined man. Tho horse is
on its launches. Keep a firm pull on
the reins till you grasp the horse by
the nostrils, and hold him so until he
is pacifed. Southern Cultivator.

The Encyclopedia britannica"

1t is interesting to note the fact that,
of the 90, 900 copies of the "Encyclo-
pedia Britannica" sold, 10000 have
gone to the United States. The Amer
leans, therefore, have bought four
times as many copies of the encyclo-
pedia as the English, although the
work is of English conception and pub
hcation. This, at first sight, would
seem to show that the Americans have
q greater taste for solid literature than
the English 1t may merely mean,
however, that there are more public

FEEDING OCEAN PASSENGERS.
What 1t Costs A<sspply the Larder of a

What 1t Costs A<sqpply the Larder of a
Great steams6fpa6n One Voyage.
The big steamships which ply be-
tween New York and Europe carry on
each trip across the Atlantic a little
city Of people. Two thousand persons
sometimes are stored away on board
these floating palaces. To appease the
sea sharpened appetites and assuage the
thirst of this horde requires a great
deal of solid and liquid food. The
steward of a certain liner took on at
Liverpool for the last round voyage
1000 bottles of champagne, 1000 of
clarot, 6,000 of ale, $500 of porter,
5000 of mineral water and 700 OF
spirits. They used last year on their
line of steamers 5000 quarts and IT,
613 pints Of champagne. The Ameri-
cans drink the greater part of. the
champagne. They call for five quarts
OF II to one of any other nationality.
They also used on hat line last year
10, 941 quarts and 1910 pints of claret.
This had the largest sale among the
French travellers, and indeed, all the
passengers fr5m the continent pre-
ferred claret.
The Britishers drank the greater
part of the years supply of ale and por-
ter, in all 4SO, 900 bottles. This, with
175, 600 bottles of mineral water, made
enough liquid TO float one of their
ships in. Pretty good showing, that,
in the way of wet goods, isn't it1
The other vices weren't neglected.
The steward says their line used last
year IS, 900 pounds of tobacco, 65, 600
cigars and 81, 900 cigarettes; the lem
ons used on shipboard averaged two
apiece every day, apples the same,
oranges leading with three apiece
each day.
The steward says: I'VE sailed from
Liverpool with 547 cabin passengers
and 300 in the crew. We had on board
when we started 12, 800 pounds of
fresh beef, 700 pounds of corned beef,
5000 pounds of nation, $50 pounds of
lamb, $50 pounds of veal, $50 pounds
of pork. There were besides 1000
pounds of fresh fish, 600 fowls, 300
chickens, 100 ducks, 80 geese, so tur-
keys, 200 brace of grouse, Is tons of
potatoes, 30 hampers Of vegetables, 2S0
quarts of ice cream, 1000 quarts of
milk, II, 800 eggs.
In the dry groceries there were $50
pounds of tea, 1900 pounds of coffee,
LOCO pounds of white sugar, 750
pounds of pulverized sugar, !, 800
pounds of cheese, 1000 pounds of but
ter, $500 pounds Of ham and 1000
pounds of bacon. You can form from
that list of figures what it costs to vic
tual the vessel for every voyage.
My figures are not done yet. This
line uses 20, 900 tons of ice every year,
and an average of 1000 tons Of coal
every day. They use 104, 900 gallons
of engine oil for one item, and an av-
erage of four pounds of meat a minute,
or over 1000, 900 pounds a year. They
use % ON of raisins and currents,
over l 200, 900 eggs, the average being
one every minute. They use II tons
of mustard, 10 tons of peas, II ON of
rice and AGO tons of flour, exclusive of
the so, 900 loaves of bread. They use
10 tonsof cheese and 10 of yellow soap,
not counting the toilet soap. These
are only the figures of one line, and
there are many.h-Indianapolis News.
