Augusta sa1uting the Hoodlums

Just before Queen Augusta became EN-
press to Germany she formed the principal
figure In very picturesque street group,
which, no doubt, will be recorded in his
tory and commemorated in paintings
During the war of 1870, says a Berlin
writer, the emperor always instantly tele-
graphed the news directly to her. In Sep
TENDER of that year she received a tele-
gram announcing the victory of Sedan,
the surrender without conditions of the
town and citadel, and of the entire army,
including the emperor Napoleon himself,
Marshal Mcmahon, $50 officers and "a 900
men. The news spread like wild-fre and
naturally kindled all Berlin into a flame
of excitement. Before the windows of
the Queens palace, and only few feet
distant, stands the bronze equestrian statue
Of ''Old Fritz forty feet high with the
pedestan. An immense crowd immedi-
ately gathered around the palace. In this
crowd the juvenile members of the popula-
ton, you may be snre, were largely repre-
Sented. In the excitement of the moment,
regardless of rules and defying the police,
a boy leaped over the iron balustrade
which surrounds the pedestal He was
followed by another and another. The
idea suddenly flashed upon them to mount
to the very top of the horse and rider, and
in few moments that magnificent monu-
ment of Rauch's genius swarmed with
little scamps as a hive with bees. The
Queen presently appeared upon the bal

point of the statue. saluted the little ras-
Gals, who saluted In return. And it seem

incidents to their children, and grand
children to the third and fourth genera

MAKE A THREAT.
New York Base Ba1Iists Likely to Again
Figure Before the Court.

New YORK, March 8.-The first step
in the new series of law suits of the Metro
politan Exhibition company against the
local players league club was taken today,
when Lawyer Duysters sent out notices to
President McAlpin, Vice President Tai
com, Secretary Robinson and others Of New
York limited warning to them to keep
their hands off the old giant ball players
or take the chances of law suit for dam
ages. This action on the part of the league
club has been anticipated for several days,
and it is not likely to create any serious
commotion among the players hackers.
They will 60 right ahead with the work of
constructing grounds in preparation for
the coming ball season.

THE FARM And HOUSEHOLD.
FEBRUARY.
MARGARET J. PRESTON.

Oh! churlish MONTH whose wild vagaries.
Fret and perplex each passing day,
Till bleak December's harshness varies
With the wooing of the May;
Thy morns may come with radiant promise
Thy skies be bright with golden glow:
But ere the day be gone half from US,
The world is drowned in drifts of snow.
We love thee not, although so human.
In thy coquetush, hayward moods
Capricious as the veriest woman.
In thy perverse yicissitudes.
And yet we hail thy rude oncoming,
Because thou closest Winters state
Glad that thy days, (in honest summing),
Can only number twenty-eight!

Says a Washington correspondent:
Senator Blair is a curious figure He
walks and he stands very much like fat
gander. He is tall when he stands up
straight, but much stopping over a desk
has made him round-shouldered. As the
hour of o clock arrives in the Senate
when miscellaneous business is to be laid
aside and the Blair Educational bill is to
be taken up-Blair, always on guard,
brushes his long, grey, brick-dust,
speekle-brown hair out of his eyes, strokes
his thin beard (same color and, rising to
his feet, takes hold of his desk with both
hands and waits for recognition. His
voice is disagreeable, his gesticulation
conventional and his matter uninteresting
except when he abuses the Senate or the
press.

Icebergs as Big as Mountains.

Can you grasp the idea that an iceberg
such as just reported. 700 feet high, that
is 700 feet out of the water, and seven
miles long, must weigh thousands of mill
lions of tons? Fresh water you see, and
only about an eight of their bulk visible.
Which means mountain of ice $500 feet
high Higher and bigger than any other
of the Adirondacks; say about the size Of
Mount Washington, not as we see it, but
from the sea level. Something has been

ing the prospects of producing sugar from
beets in this country. He is reported as
having said: at has been tried In Hi
nois, Utah. California and half dozen other
states, and for one reason or another has
been failure every time. But the fact
still remains that millions of pounds of
sugar are being made in Germany from
beets. The people of Grand Island. Ne
braska, have made up their minds that the
thing can be done there, and they have put
their hands in their pockets to the extent
of 100000, with that they propose to
prove it. Experiments have been made
by distributing seed among great many
farmers and Analysing the product This
analysis has proved to the satisfaction of
a German expert that there is nothing In
the way of successfully making sugar from
Nebraska beets. The state legislature has
helped the matter along by passing a
law granting a bounty of l cent a pound
on all the beet sugar manufactured in the

Irtarviaw Exnlained.

There are reporters on the staff Of the
New York World who appear to have a
profound conte npt for truth. This World
ought to get rid Of them as soon as possible,
if its purpose IS to deal honestly with the
public. Sensations which have a slight
coloring of truth msy attract renders for a
time, but the public gets tired of being de-
ceivsd after awhile and loses respect for tae
paper that prints them.
A few days ago the New York Sun
printed a story from Washington in which
the statement was made that Mr.. Cleveland
was taking on fat at the rate of twenty-five
pounds month, and that. being afraid that
his fat would soon Gauss his death, he had
placed himself under the treatment of fat
reducing specialist.
The day after the appearance of this
yarn the New York World published an in
terview with Mr. Cleveland on the Suns
story. 1t was generally accepted as genu-
inc, though many wondered, doubtless,
why Mr.. Cleveland had departed 50 far
from his policy Of silence, with respect to
newspaper attacks, as to notice the attempt
of the Sun to make him the subject of ridi-
CAAS. Ii NLN AlS1A WOW IAss 0ACFStaAAh was
reported as having said some very bitter
things about the editor of the Sun, charg-
ing him, among other things. with being SO
devoid the instincts of gentleman as TO
make war upon women, and asserting that
Mrs. Cleveland had been more than oncs
the subject Of his slanderous attacks.
The Sun replied to the interview in an
article that passed the bounds of decency.
1t is doubtful if the editor of the Sun has
friend who was not conscious of feeling of
resentment and regret when he read it-re-
sentiment that such an attack should have
been made upon a man that the nation had
honored, and regret that such an article
should appear in a paper of the ability and
standing of the Sun.
On Sunday the World published an edi-
torial article in which it admitted that Mr..
Cleveland had said none of the coarse things
accredited 60 him in its Interview with him.
The World said: after a thorough investi-
cation we are satisfied that all Mr.. Cleve-
land said for publication of a personal
character was contained in the first fourteen
lines OF the remarks attributed to him, and
that he did not use the coarse and intern
perate personal expressions accredited to
him in a subsequent portion of the inter
view"
The reporter who interviewed Mr.. Cleve-
land may have a grudge against the editor
of the Sun, and may have utilized the in
terview to satisfy it. He certainly should
never again be permitted to occupy place
on a respectable newspaper

A Suggestion That is Not Approved.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Way
cross Reporter, does not indorse our sug-
gestion that the farmers alliance favor the
guaranteeing Of land titles by state govern
ments, in order that farmers may have
first-class security on which to borrow
money at low rate of interest. The Re
porter says the suggestion, if acted upon,
would open the door to an immense amount
of litigation, in which the public would
have no interest, but the expense of whic b
it would have to pay. Moreover, the Re
porter is opposed to any interference by the
national or state governments in any trans
actions between citizens.
OF course there is great deal of force in
what the Reporter says, but the guarantee
title plan is said to work well aud to be
productive of good results in Australia. If
there, why not here.
What the farmers say they want is more
money, and they want it at lower rate of
interest than they are now paying. Can
the Reporter suggest any better plan to
help them get what they want than the
one we suggested If so, what is it? If
not, then we submit that it ought not to
object to our suggestion, unless it is op-
posed to extending government assistance
of any kind to farmers.
In view of the fact that it objects to
government interference in transactions be-
tween private individuals, it can hardly
favor the sub-treasury plan, or any other
| plan of similar character. A reasonable
conclusion, therefore, is that it is opposed to
farmers receiving direct help from the
| government.
The position of the Reporter may not
please the farmers. but there is a pretty
strong probability that it is the one that the
government will take, though the fact that
the ways and means committee has recon-
mended bounty of 2 cents a pound on
sugar would seem to indicate that the time
may not be distant when there will be direct
government aid to farmers. If the sugar
planter is given bounty of 2 cents a
pound on his sugar, it will not be easy to
make the grower of corn or cotton under
stand why he should not be paid bounty
on his crop.
