The engagement of Princess Victoria
of Prussia to the Prince of Schonburg-
Lfppe is a very suitable one and has
given great satisfaction in her family.
1t has been arranged for some time, but
at the earnest desire of the Empress
Frederick it was not announced until
after the second anniversary of the EN-
peror Frederick's death. Princess Vic
toria is a very lively and impressionable
young lady, and has given her family a
good deal of anxiety IN account Of her
matrimonial entanglements. She is not
a pretty girl, but very pleasant, witty
and clever and most popular, and has
now quite recovered from her passionate
attachment to the unlucky Prince AL
exander of Battenberg, which at one
time threatened to produce very embar-
RAISING complications .-London World.

The triumph of democracy as repre-
resented in the republic is not yet COM
plete; in fact, little more has yet been
lone thar to fix attention upon the more
serious problems of democracy. You
If l may presume an American audience
have the stagnant south to direct into
channels of industry and prosperity.
You have the labor giant awaking fit
fully from his drugged slumber and
muttering socialism. He will be the
life of the nation when once awake, but
it will tax the keenest faculties of your
government to steady his waking move
ments.
Then there is a Catholic school prob
lem in Massachusetts, a Mormon prob
lem in Utah, a foreign element" bug
pear in New York and Chicago, a tariff
conflict between the differing interests
of separated states and many other knots
at whose corded completely your politi-
clans must tug. These snarls in the skein
of the future are not merely disadvan-
tages, as political problems often are to
other peoples; they entangle the life line
of the nation. You can bear great pres
sure at almost any other point. A war.
an invasion, a commercial crisis would
not unsettle your foundations, but the
political chess board cannot be more
deeply complicated without serious dam
ger.-A. R. Carman in Forum.

DR.. Leahy, a horse trainer, says: When
a horse stops and proposes to turn around
don't resist the turn, but give him a quiet
horizontal pull in the direction he wants
to turn, so as to carry him farther around
than he intended to go, and, if possible,
keep him going around half a dozen times.
In most cases this will upset all his cal
culations, and he will go quietly on with
out much ado. If six turns will not do
give him twenty. In fact, If he will keep
on turning to your rein you are sure to
conquer, as enough turning will certainly
confuse him, snd leave him at your com
mand. If he will not turn and will back
to the rein, keep him going backward in
the direction you want to go. He will
soon get tired OF that and prefer to go
with the right end forward; but before
you let him go give him decidedly more
backing than he likes.-St. Louis Globe

Written music probably first began in
China. The principles of acoustics also
were first in existence in the celestial
empire The full scale of chromatic
semitones was evolved by one Of their
emperors 1000 years ago yet the Chi
nese, actuated by that strange obliquity
which is characteristic of the nation, re-
oeived only five of the twelve tones into
their scale, holding the other seven to be
female tones" and therefore useless.
The principle of the monochord was
probably known to them, and in some
of their instruments one can see the or
gan foreshadowed. OF harmony, or part
writing, however, the Chinese knew
nothing, and it is a good inferential
proof of the non-existence of part music
among the ancient nations that the Chi
nese, In their ancient music books, speak
only Of melody and seem to have dis
dained tone combinations, such as would
suggest the simplest chords.-Boston

In one particular at least the young
emperor of Germany seeks to emulate
the example of the famous Caliph of
Bsgdad. He makes a practice of prowl-
ing around incognito, as if he were de-
termined to find out by means of his
w eyes and ears the will and wants of
his people. The military people do not
fancy this sort of thing, for they are lin
Germany, of all countries) severe stick
lers at etiquette, and they regard it as
shockingly mira dig. that their sovereign
should snoop around barracks in the
darkness of night in the disguise some
times of a patrolman and sometimes of
an officer. Another practice of Will
Jams is to call informally upon his ac-
quaintances in Berlin. At any hour of
the day-or evening he is likely to make
his appearance in the house of a friend,
and, of course, being the kaiser, he has
to be made welcome. Herbert Bismarck
was entertaining a party of friends In
his bachelor quarters when, all of a sud
den, the emperor walked in. A seat
was put for his majesty at the table, and
for an hour or 80 the emperor chatted
gayly with the guests, then, apologizing
graciously for his intrusion, the kaiser
babe the company good evening and
wen his way.-Eugene Field in Chicago

How Champans L. Made.

Champagne Is the finest of all wines.
Notwithstanding the fact, there are not
many who know just what 1t is. It is a
blend Of the different wines, and some
times from ten to fifteen wines are used.
One is chosen because of its flavor, while
it may be deficient in body. Another is
taken because Of its body. By the way,
body of wine does not mean alcohol; it
signifies roundness or richness. Another
wine is put in for some other quality,
and 80 on, making n grand combina-
ton. When blended the combination is
called a "cuvee." After a certain time
the cuvee Is placed in bottles, and al
lowed to ferment for a period of about
two years. The fermentation causes
sediment to be deposited and develops
carboDic acid gas, which is the life and
sparkle.
At the end Of two years the bottles are
placed ''surpointe," or corks down, and
the sediment allowed to settle on the
cork. During the two or three months
the bottles are surpointe each bottle is
shaken separately every day. Then
shllful workmen release the cork, and
the sediment (which has become COM
pact) and cork fly out together and only
a little wine is lost. In place of the
wine that is lost a small quantity OF
strip or hqueur is added to give neces-
sary sweetness. 1t is here that fraud,
If fraud there be, comes in.
In making the liqueur an opportunity
Is afforded for fiavoring or increasing the
alcoholic strength of the wine. After
the strip is added the bottle is corked
with the most expensive corks that can
be bought. Following this process the
perfection of the wine depends upon the
quality of the cork. During the two
years of fermentation in bottle the break
age from pressure is sometimes great,
ranging from a to 90 per cent, which OF
course must be paid for when the cham
payne is purchased. 1t is a debatable
question whether champagne, like other
wine, improves with age. AS a rule 1t is
put on the market from two to Ave years
after IL is Observation-Disclosures Herald.

The only lines tina. Patti has on her
face are those under the eyes and the
mouth curves from nose to chin, which
are quite light. But when here she was
badly afflicted with moth" or dark
patches on forehead and cheeks. Her
childish glee at having it removed will
be appreciated by every woman who las
ever been relieved from any skin blem-
ish- She really made more of the woman
who effectually treated her than any of
her friends, artistic or social, during her
stay here. Little wonder. The com
plexion madam is quite a marvel of re-
source, being herself quite a charming
singer, a gifted talker, very deft with
her needle, and above all quite a little

In this country the good peanut states
are Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. The crop in a good year amounts
TO about 5000, 600 bushels or 70, 900, 600
pounds. having grown to these proper
tions from an output of less than 500, 900
bushels in 1878. Arkansas and Kansas
are also peanut growing states. Califor-
mia produces n good crop, but the soil is
so rich that the peanut grows large and
rank with a shell so thick that it seriously
affects the roasting process. The states
first named may therefore be considered
the sole producers of peanuts for the
market So important has the peanut
become that in some sections of the three
states it is the principal crop and chief
reliance of the farmer.-St. Louis Post

Tumble Weeds stopped the Train.

Probably most of the readers OF the
Oregonian have seen or heard of the
=. tumble weed, but for the benefit of any
who have not it may be said that it is
bushy plant, growing eighteen inches to
two feet in height, having small root
and the branches all curving inward at
the top, giving the full-grown weed a
globular shape. These weeds grow and
flourish on summer-falowed lands, in
parts of Eastern Oregon, and especially
along the line of the Oregon and Wash
ihgton Territory railroad between Hunts
Junction and Pendleton. In the fall,
when the summer-fallow is seeded, the
harrows tear up] these weeds, but as
they are tough and wiry and are not
broken up much, they lie around on the
fields like balls. The first wind starts
Che, balls rolling, and away they go for
: the first fence or railroad cut. The line
above mentioned is not fenced, and
short time ago these weeds piled into
The cuts on it about Helix, in some
places as high as the headlight of the

ing" the track they held train loaded
with stock all night on the line. A

shat the weeds coming skipping over the
banks into cut in the dusk of the even

of sheep following their leader into the
