BY the arrival Of the steamer Lagos at Iiy.
crpool intelligence has been received Of the
French annexation Of nearly two hundred miles
Of coast line adjoining their Half Jack Coast
territory. She Governor of Eonakry, a French
settlement near Sierra Leone. proceeded there
with two war vessels, and declared the territory
from st. Andreas to Cavally under French rule.
The Governor said the coast belonged to the
French for many years, and that the present
action was only r~atifying long-existing trea-
ties. Part of the coast, however, has been
claimed by the Liberians for about a century.
The affair caused much stir, but the Governor
promised the merchants that at present no Gus
toms duties would be levied, though this would
probably be done III the course of some months.
Information had been received at Sierra Leone
of the repulse Of a British frontier police force,
under Captain Campbell. They went up to a
town on the borders Of a British settlement, but
the chief warned the police ID and fired at them.
The police had rocket apparatus, but the tube
was found useless, and the force had to return
to Sierra Leone. One was shot dead and several
were wounded, including Captain Campbell,
who had a slug shot in the ann. Six Of the
police were left in hospital. 1t was expected
that Q force would be sent up to plnish the
chief and natives for the attack. Governor

To Aid His Memory.
From the Montreal Star.

Herr Lehman had very short mem
DRY and he never dared to leave the rail
way carriage at an intervening station
because he would not have been able to
remember the number of his car. One
day he complained Of this to an intelii-
gent travelling business man who sat op-
posite to him in the coupe. In sym
patty his fellow traveller gave him clue
by which he might remember. "You
must remember the number of the rail-
way carriage by date in history. For
instance, to-day, as you see, we are
travelling in the car numbered 1892,
which is the date of the discovery of
America. Do not forget"
Overioyed at this newly acquired re-
hinder Lehman left the car at the next
station to refresh himself with a glass of
beer At the ringing Of the second bell
he hurried on to the platform to look
for his car, but his memory had again
failed him, and in his fear turned to the
first passenger he saw with this pitiful
question: ''Tell me, for heavens sake,
when was America discovered"

Oh to be an Emperor.

Emperor William II. of Germany has
the iron industry of his grandfather.
He rises every morning while the clock
IS striking Z, after having lain Just seven
hours in bed. He takes cold shower
bath, is shaved and shampooed, and
then gets into his uniform with all the
expedition of a tardy Office boy. At go
O'Clock he and the Empress eat break
fast together. The meal is not made of
the fimsy stuff that the usual German
breakfast is made of, but includes tea,
rolls, omelettes, beefsteak or outlets,
and fowl. The Emperor goes from the
packages of sorted letters await his
attention. Six hundred letters are his
usual mail. He glances at every one of
them, sends the petitions, which consti-
| tute the vast majority Of all, to the Civil
Cabinet, and indicates the replies to be
made to the more important part of the
correspondence. However bulky the
mail may be, the Emperor never varies
from this routine. After discussing the
programme of the day with an
adjutant the Emperor goes to the chill
dren, kisses them once each, and gets a
general idea of what their lessons for
the day will be. He returns to his work
room to hear the Court Marshal review
imperial housekeeping, and to listen to
the reports and comments of the cabinet
ministers and the President of Police
He then goes walking or driving In the
street if the weather is fine; in the rid
ing hall If it rains. Only on DAYS OF
military reviews, when the Emperor
must sit five or six hours in the saddle,
are these rides or walks omitted from
his programme. At 2 CLOCK the En-
peror, Empress, and little Hohenzoll-
erns take a second break asst of soup,
boiled meat, with vegetables, roast,
and pudding. After the meal the En-
rest of the afternoon is devoted to
audiences and the preparation of state
papers. At O'Clock dinner is served,
not only to the Emperor's immediate
family, but also to all the sisters and
cousins and aunts of Hohenzollern eX-
traction who happen to be at the
palace. After this general reunion the
Emperor plays with the children and
exercises with the broadsword and foil
At 1870 o'clock he takes supper, consist
ing of salad, a joint, or fish. and sweets.
At IL he retires to his study. He works
there till midnight, when he retires to
bed. Even then he does not resign
himself entirely to rest. He keeps at
hand pencil and paper, and often
awakes in the night to jot down memo
randa of plans for the next day. Even
when visiting the Car or the Queen, or
other sovereigns, the Emperor does not
rest from the routine of his state laoors.
By telegraph he keeps himself in the
closest communication with all his cab
met officers, and directs the administra-
ton of all matters of Importance. Be-
sides his few minutes with his children,
the Emperor's only intervals of recrea-
ton are devoted to the reading of con-
temporary military literature in English,
French, Italian, Spanish and German.

Corky Facts.

The cork tree and the cork industry
form topic treated by Consul Schench,
Of Barcelona. The bark sometimes has
a defect called ''jaspered or jaspeado,"
and the pieces which have it will not do
to cork champagne bottles, as the extra
file bark used for that purpose has little
elasticity. Champagne corks are soaked
in water two or three days, and, in pro-
portion as the cork dries, the defect in it
disappears. Sometimes the jasper APP
pearance revives itself in the dry cork
by black spots which, except for the
color, do not diminish the value of the
cork. A cork which loses it's elasticity
will not do for champagne, as it will
allow the carbonic acid gas to escape
A clever workman can square 5000
corks day, and for this he gets three
pesetas thousand 1t is not generally
known that in Turkey collins are made
of cork; in Valencia it is used for bee
hives, pans and pals; in Italy for shoes,
horse saddles and furniture, and 10000
families in Spain live on the cork indus

Disposing of Old Stock.

There are few domestic animals much
past their prime that give any profit
thereafter. The best thing to do with
such is to kill and sell those that are
eatable, and to put an end to horses
past service, and use their carcasses for
manure. 1t costs more to keep old an
imals and they return little for it.
Nor need there be any regrets about
thus parting with domestic animals that
have long served u.s. The horse that
has lived SO long that it is no longer
useful enjoys too little of life for
the trouble it will cause. Whatever
enjoyment it has is in the pastures in
summer, where it can be free to dis
port or rest itself as ii will and crop the
succulent grass. In close stables, on
dry food and that poorly digested, the
old horse scarcely cares for life, and
mayhap after suffering the rigors of
winter will die before spring sunshine
returns to enliven it. This year. when
grains of all kinds is likely to be dear,
the old horses and old cows, and old an
imals of every kind, will fare harder
than ever. 1t is real kindness to
them, and money in the farmers
pocket as well and for much better
uses, to save the cost of wintering
them. If COWS are still salable, though
past their prime, sell them, and give in
creased care to what remain. 1t often
thus happens that part of herd may
bring more profit than the whole if the
right part is Topped off.-Anaericam Cu1-

Timothy Sod for Croppinr

There is much less vegetable matter
in timothy sod than there is in clover
grown on equally fertile soil. While
clover roots strike down into the sub
soil long tap root, the roots of tim
othy are merely sprangles starting out
from just below the bulb near the sur
face. We believe they also are of
poorer quality than the clover roots as
timothy hay contains less manurial
value than hay made from clover
There is still further difference, as
clover roots tighten and arate the sub
soil, making it warmer and easily per-
meable for following crops. The Glow
cred land will, for the same reason,
keep moister in time of drought tor any
crop which succeeds it. This is one
important reason why planting peta-
toes on timothy sod proves so general
ly unsatisfactory. Not even dressing
of stable manure can wholly make the
difference good. 1t supplies, perhaps,
more plant food than the clover roots
can, but it may even make the soil dry
er in a dry season than it would be
without it, and thus some times do harm
rather than good.

COWS, seven Of which arc good ones and

give the feed the ten would have eaten
to the seven good ones. There is a big
loss in feeding poor cows; there is big
loss in feeding poor feed; but when we
feed poor feed to poor cows the result
Is dlscouraglng.
Sometimes COWS are not considered
good ones, merely because they are not
ted enough to show their real working
capacity. 1t pays to experiment a little
Some experiment in the wrong direc-
ton, and see how little they can feed.
The big eater is not always the best

most of her feed into beef. Many
dairymen 60 on year after year, epek-
ing poor cows, merely because they
breed to the wrong kind of bull. Com
mon COWS bred tosa good dairy bull are
sure to have calves that will be better
than their dams. Grading up cannot
be well done by breeding to grade
bull. In cow-feeding for dairy pur-
poses we should discriminate a little;

different kind of ration. For butter we
want less milk, but want it richer than
if we were selling milk. In feeding for

meal and decrease the bran; for milk
we should do just the reverse, increase
the bran. But when we sell milk &C
cording to the per cent. of butter-fat in
it we should feed the butter ration.
Great injustice is done by creameries
that pay for milk by weight without re-
gard to quality. When this is done the
patrons who send good milk to the
creamery help to support those who
send poor milk. All milk should be
tested, and each patron paid according,
to the amount of butter fat in his milk:
then the good feeders Of good COWS
would be encouraged. In the dairy
business, in order to be successful, we
must watch everything closely; we may
lose much by little carelessness. We
may, for instance, neglect to give the
cows salt for week or two, then let
them eat too much at once; we may in
crease their food too suddenly and de-
range their digestion; we may let them
suffer occasionally for water; We may
feed them injudiciously just before calv
ing or just after; in fact, there are a
great many ways by which we may re-
duce or wipe out entirely our profit.
No dairyman does everything just
right, for no man is perfect, but the one
who studies his business and comes The
nearest to doing things right is the one
who m tkes the most money. We all
have room for improvement, and every
year should see some change for the
better in our dairying. We ought to use
