The Visit of Count de Paris to America.

Several well-defined reasons are
given to account for the decision OF
the Count de Paris not to return to
England for some time, but to visit
Cnba, where his wile's family, as CO.
heirs of the late Queen Christina, have
family interests. In Cuba, it is stated
he will escape east winds, be able to
judge of the state of things in the is
land and the prospects of the Seces-
sionist party, and will t!ien go to Wash
ington, whence he will make a tour
through the United States. He can do
nothing just now in French politics,
but he must not let himself be forgo:-
ten The Americans, as a friend of
his remarked a day or two ago, are
sure to make great deal of him be-
cause he i, a Prince, the father i'm law
of the King of Portugal, a Pretender
to the Crown of France, and the his
torian of ter Civil War.
His great personal friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Levi Morton, on account of their
official position, social experience, and
wealth, occupy ID place at Washington
in some respects superior TO that of
Mr.. and Mira. Harrison. They are
sure to lionise the Count de Paris, and
the American journals are equally sure
to help them. OF course triumphal
tour in the United States would have
a great effect in France. The excite
ment going on now in Portugal has
had no effect in leading the Count de
Paris not to return at once to England.
His feeling in regard to the Anglo
Portuguese quarrel will be shown in
other ways.
The Count de Paris will be accom-
panied by the Countess and their chill
dren and the Duke de Charities. He

A German SYankee "

"a full fledged German, bearing the
odd name of August II. Yankee, OBJ
tanned his last naturalization papers
from the Clerk of the United States
District Court, Boston, the other day,
and is now an American citizen. Mr..
Yankees occupation is that of a farm
err, and he lives in Dover, Mass. He
was born in Wotschihous, Germany,
in 1868, being now q years of age.
He offered no explanation as to the
origin of his name.
The word Yankee, as almost every
body knows, is said to have originated
with the Indians, who used to call the
English settler the Yengeese, or Yam
geese, as they coulI not master the
correct pronunciation of the word.
Whether some of the ancestors of this
young man came over to America with
the Hessian troops in the time of the
Revolution and on their return adopted
the name Yankee is not known. 1t is
thought, however, that this may have
been very possible by more than one
of the officers of the court.

quaintances became friends and in time
lovers. Then came the quiet wedding
at grandpa's; the short bridal tour, and
the prosaic settling down as house
keepers in two small flats in New
York, where in domestic contentment
they dwelt ever after, i'll as great a de-
gree of continuous harmony as falls to
the average families.
Grandma made this domestic peace
possible, by persistently insisting that
both girls should take daily practical
lessons in her kitchen; that the period
of courtship should commence in learn
ing the art of household economies.
The girls sometimes rebelled, fancying
that things would manage to go on
somehow without all that troub e.
But grandma had her way, knowing
that young man with moderate in

home keeper.

Farm Notes.

| 1t has been found that San Diego is
admirably adapted to ostrich culture.
| Ostrich farming has been till recently
carried on exclusively at Cape Town
in Africa. The export duly is $500
for every ostrich, and 1925 for every
egg.
There is not as much inspiration to
be derived from feeding stock as there
was when prices were high, but for
that L ason we should feed well if we
feed at all, for the only return we get
is the pleasure of seeing the animals
thrive.
1t is better to sell the hay and buy
fertilizers than to feed animals so as to
make 10 gain. Until a change can be
effected We must conform to condi-
tons, bad as they are, and the best way
to do it is to feed better. use more care,
do away with the habits that we can
give no reason for, and make every
item count.
The true effect of a good strain is to

inator's flock, but of all other focks

lence, not the production of offensive
characteristics and in proportion to his
success in this, is the popularity and
stability of the fowls produced.
If you are intending laying in a few
cockerels or puliets, our advice is to do
it now. One or two months hence you
will pay for waiting, as few breeders
care to sell their breeding stock then
unless they receive fancy prices. The
farmer should always buy his chickens
late in the fail, when they are a drug
on the market. The bargain is in this
kind of buying.

The Bishop and the lightning Conductor

An English bishop was homeward
bound from the United States, travel
ling luxuriously in double cabin with
Mrs. Bishop. 1t was n very hot night,
thunder in the air, AMI the Atlantic
liner slipped through the water, the
cabin being lit up with tn lightning
flashes. Mrs. Bishop could not sleep
for the heat. Bishop, appeale | to-,
numbered out of his berth and opened
the port.hole. Suddenly there bobbed
in through the port-hole wooden ball
attached to a string. Bishop was per-
picked, but lie tied it up, coiling the
string by nail in the wall, and then
retired TO rest. The ball was an apple
of discord in that peaceful cabin, for
it hit against the side of the vessel as
she lurched, and Mrs. Bishop grew
qucrulous and disturbed. Up started
the poor bishop again, and to end mat
tiers he uncoiled the cord, and put the
ball under his pillow. There was
heavy thunderstorm, but the bishop
slept soundly that night. Next morn
ing at break fast, the captain presiding,
he told the tale with a good deal of
episcopal solemnity and detail. The
captain laughed immoderately. Bishop
laughed, too, thinking his story COOL
one. Then the captain told him that

AN ASTONISHING CASE.

Why 1t Gave Rise to Great Pertur-
baton In Dublin Society.
There reside in fashionable part OF
Rathmines, Dublin. family consist
ing OF a mother, who is a widow, two
or three sons and three young ladies,
sisters AT all events, says the Free
mans Journal. they were supposed to
be so. The family were held in the
highest respect, and, until an incident
we are about to relate occurred. the
household was undisturbed by any out
of-the-way occurrence. Two of the
young ladies were progressing in APP
-pearance-and- gifted with many accom-
[plishments. The third-the eldest, we
believe-was not devoid of good looks,
either, and possessed n certain amount
of musical culture, which was display
ed effectively at numerous reunions
parties and evening assemblies about
their neighborhood. She also devel-
oped remarkable talent for drawing.
She was frequently met with at social
assemblies and places of entertainments,
and was admired everywhere for her
good looks and accomplishments. She
was an admirable tennis player. and
was altogether an Agreeable figure in
the set in which she moved. About
couple OF months ago it was announced
that she was about to proceed to Lon
don TO complete her studies in the
South Kensingtou School of Art, and
naturally the news caused some inter-
est among her acquaintance. She
came back at Christmas, and many
ladies who were acquainted with the
family called at their house to see her.
What was the establishment OF the visi-
tors when the mother calmly announce
ed that her daughter" was a boy;
and then the quondam miss entered the
room, dressed in masculine attire. hav-
ing completely abandoned the charac-
ter which she or he Gas we must now
call him) had been so long assuming
of girl. The incident gave rise to
a great perturbation among the ac-
quaintances of the family, and, as
result, no little unpleasantness occurred.
Those who knew the young gentleman
as Miss-are extremely astonished at
the TIN affairs have taken. They
find it hard to believe that such de-
ception could have gone for years
without any suspicion OF the real cir
cumstances being entertained. The
young man has been regarded as a girl
from infancy. He went to school as a
girl, entered society as a girl, dressed
as girl and behaved as girl. so that
the sudden announcement of his true
position IN society has naturally caused
some commotion among the acquaint-
ances OF the young man.
