The Youngest King.

Alfonso Kill, King of Spain, whose
full pranomen is Alfonso Leon Fernando,
Santiago Maria Isidro Pascual Antonio,
began his official life at an earlier period
than most of his brother monarchs,
having opened the Spanish cortes in
person at the sagacious age of 1S.
months. Seated on the throne of Philip
H., in white frock of priceless lace, he
beamed upon the parliament and court,
while his tall and slender young
mother, Queen Christina, dressed in
mourning, stood at his right hand and
read his royal speech. In summer his
majesty lives in the palace of Aranjuez,
embowered in green, and famous for it's
noble English elms, which the melan-
choly Philip II. brought back from
England with him after his hateful
honeymoon with Queen Mary, and some
of which are said to have attained a
girth of sixty, eighty and ninety feet.

Redress From Congress.

CHICAGO, June ia dispatch from
Dubuque, Iowa, says Judge Shiras has
filed in the United States court a decis-
ion IN the case of the United States ver-
sus the Des Moines River Navigation
Company ct al, which involves the
homestead rights of many settlers. In
his decision Judge Shiras says that un-
der decisions of the supreme court of the
United States, he cannot re-investigate
the question of title of the navigation
company. He holds, in substance,
that redress for the settlers must be
sought from congress.

Wives Who Read Greek.

In Cambridge, some ten years or so
back, the regulations by which fellow
ships were forfeited on marriage were
relaxed, and considerable number of
fellows shortly married. Quite recently
a lady living in Cambridge and associ-
ating with precisely those husbands and
wives, said to me: 81 can't say that |
know one unhappy marriage among nv
friends here" But then, in the majority
of these cases the wives are highly
cultivated women, in the truest
sense the equals of their hus
bands. At this stage l may per-
haps step little out of the main
line OF my argument to point out in what
way, as it appears to me, a high stand
ard of education among women affects
their position with regard to marriage.
1t makes them undoubtedly more in
dependent of marriage, and at the same
time raises their standard of marriage. 1t
makes them unwilling to marry men
distinctly inferior to them in education
or understanding, and it also, quite
believe, makes them less attrac-
tive in the eyes of such men.
In short, it diminishes slightly
the probability of a woman's marrying
at all, while it diminishes very greatly
the probability of her marrying insult
ably. A student OF ladies' college, sum
ming up the general results of her edu-
cation, said to me- 81 don't exactly see
why learning Greek should make one
feel it impossible to marry man one
did not respect, but it seems to amount
to about that. "s l thought, for my part,
that this whimsical testimony was the
highest possible tribute to her collegiate
training London Fortnightly Review.

PRISON DIRECTORS,
Purchasing Water Rights for the lone
Industrial School.

Purchasing Water Rights for the lone
Industrial School.
SAN Francisco, June 15.-The State
prison directors held an informal meet
ing today to complete arrangements for
the purchase of lands and water rights
for the building of the Preston industrial
school at lone, in Amador county. The
conclusion was reached to have Messrs.
B. and M. Isaacs execute a deed to their
water rights, perfect their bond of in
demnity and submit them to the attor-
ney of the board for approval, after
which the money will be paid them.
The same process will be gone through
with in the case of the purchase of the
land from the lone Coal and Iron Com
pany.
The cost of the plant is as follows:
Cost of land, $500; water rights,
$45, 900; reservoir, $l5, 900; total, $66, 900.
The state, in its appropriation, al
lowed $3.50, 900 for the purchase of land,
water and the erection of the buildings,
and maintenance of the school for the
first year, thus leaving in the neighbor-
hood of 800, 900 for buildings.

Christian EndeayOr.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The sessions of
the Christian endeavor societies were
brief today, consisting of addresses,
music and religious exercises.
The closing session of the convention
was held tonight. A number of inter
esting addresses were made, and reso-
luton adopted declaring the societies in
ter-denominational in character, but in
no sense designed to abolish denomina-
tional lines. A conservation meeting of
very interesting character was held, led
by President Clark, and joined in by the
whole convention, delegates arising in
turn and repeating pledges as read.

TAINTED MEAT.
The Flesh of Lumpy-Jawed Cattle Pre-
served at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 15.-With inspectors
known to be watching in the slaughter
house of Jacob Hess to prevent the sur
reptitious preservation Of meat of lumpy-
jaw cattle, the forbidden practice was
discovered last night in full blast; SO, at
least, representatives of the city health
department declare. The inference
drawn is that the tainted meat, at cheap
prices, but all profit, was to be marketed
through peddlers, in the artisan district
in Chicago; Apparently each ele-
vator load OF meat before
being hoisted to the upper floors of the
slaughteD-house for destruction in the
rendering watts, was for a moment
lowered to the basement, and the hind
quarters, the most valuable meat,
secretly unloaded, after which the ele-
vator again started upward to the rem
dering watts. Just 2,700 pounds of al
legged diseased meat were found hidden
away in the basement. The discovery
was made by city officials, and is being
used by them to support their oft-made
charge that the state inspectors are re-
miss, if not corrupt, and that the inspec-
ton should be done by the city.

SAN Francisco, June 15.-There was
free-for-all fight tonight at Joe Dieves's,
three miles south on the San Leandro
road, near Oakland, in which Peter Jack
son, the colored pugilist, played prom
inent part. Jackson was in the bar room
with Dieves and his son, when about
dozen Germans, who were returning from
picnic, entered. They were under the
influence of liquor, and one of them,
after vainly attempting to pick a
quarrel with Jackson, grossly insulted
him. Jackson knocked him down and
the mans friends took up the fight.
Jackson was aided by Dieves and his
son, and the three managed to put the
crowd to fight. Sheriff Hale was mott
fed OF the trouble by several men who
demanded warrant for Jackson's
arrest, but they concluded to wait until
morning. Jackson says he tried hard to
avoid trouble, but was forced into fight
ing by insults from the crowd.

SAVING SEED CORN.

There IS no better practice on the farm
than that of saving seed corn in the early
part of autumn. Great loss and vexation
are avoided thereby, and the wonder is
that so many farmers still refuse to avail
themselves of this investment, which al
ways yields profit of a hundred to a
thousand per cent. The method is so
simple and easy that all may partake
thereof. In this latitude, corn begins to
ripeu about the first of September. All
things considered, the earliest ears are
the best ones to select and save; 90
through and examine the earliest that are
maturing, having in view well-developed
cars, medium sized grains, and bril- ght-
ness of color. In selecting yellow corn,
choose COLDER -colored cars; for these
possess characteristics of oilness and hard
ress as we'll as that of beauty. Remove
all of the shuck except enough to suspend
by, and then the ears are hung in high
and dry place and allowed to remain
there until wanted. Ihave never known
seed to fail when gathered and cared for
in this way, even when the temperature
went down to thirty degrees below zero.

MAKING VINEGAR,

To make vinegar from apples by the
natural process requires at least year;
and often, under unfavorable conditions,
still longer time, but when thus made
it is so much superior for all family pur-
poses to the quickly manufactured vine
gars that no comparison can be fairly
made between them. With farmers vine
gar-making begins with the early drop
ping of apples in the fall or late summer.
No one variety is considered better than
another. All are mixed indiscriminately
for this purpose. Not much care is ex-
ercised in gathering them from the
ground, but rotten apples should not be
used.
The apples are ground in any kind Of
mill and the juice expressed in the
same way as for cider. 1t is, however,
better to shovel the pomacc into large
casks or watts and let it so remain until
quite sour, when the juice will be more
thoroughly pressed out. This should
then be put into casks and remain long
enough for the fire particle of pomace to
settle to the bottom and remain as sedi-
ment.
After this the sour eide: should be
drawn off into barrels and not quite full.
These should stand where they will get
the influence Of the warm fail weather.
Until fully made, let barrels remain with
out lungs, insects being kept out by 4
garze covering over the bung-hole. On
the advent of winter the barrels should
60 to vinegar-house, warmed by arti-
ticial heat, or if no provision of that kind
has teen made, should be kept from Sc
we're freezing in come other way aud be
brought out into the sun again in the
spring.
The desired acidity is produced sooner
by keeping the liquid in barrels than in
large casks or watts. Vinegar barrels
should be iron -hooped and be kept we'll
painted. Where the juice is so rich in
sugar as to be slow in turning to vinegar
and remains as hard cider instead some
dilution with water is often necessary to
hasten the change. The change to vine

JUDGING THE AGE IN POULTRY.

A correspondent writing from Cum
berland, W. Va, asks how to tell the age
in poultry. If for the table, examine the
feet and legs; the size and appearance of
the spur form guide. The skin of the
pullet or cockerel is smooth and has a
fresh appearance, while that of the adult
fowl yearly grows coarser and shriveled.
Place the thumb and fore6nger on either
side of the back, near the "pope's nose"
or oil receptacle, and press it; in young
birds thae part is supple, and in old birds
it is difficult to bend. Another test is
feeling of the top end of the breast bone.
If the grizzle forming there is tenderand
supple the bird in young. 1t is a more
difficult matter to judge the age of ducks.
Those ducks that have arrived at two and
three years have deep depression down
the breast feathers, and their waddle be-
comes more and more ungainly.-New
York World.
