CHICAGo's FAIR ABROAD.
No Great Interest Taken in France or
Portugal.

p.srs June 2l.-An Associated Press
corresnondent has made inquiries in
France concerning the disposition Of
manufacturing classes IN their districts
toward the Chicago fair. Consul Wit
Jams al Havre says there is much good
feeling toward the enterprise but it is too
early to look for either energy or apathy.
Consul Loomis, at St. Etienne, says:
The exbfbit,on has rot been exploited in this
mart of France and until Il is pressed strongly
upou the attention OF the pubic In Europe, do
NOT think il can be said that there Is any real
opinion concerning IL
consal Williams az Rouen, says: At pres

TIE effect of the Mckinley bill upon their fabrics

sgontion' Until these problems are solved they

longing eyes
Consular Bennett, At Nantes, says: This
consular district is not at present very enthu-
siastic about the Chicago exhibition They ara

-cnse whether il is worth while to expose
thefr urod,Icts 10 foreign customers, so long as

rpercial relations difncuis or impossible.

Paris. June 2l-Comte de Monticello,
who replaces De Laboulaye IS French am
bassador at st. Petersburg. will be spec
tally charged to obtain definite informa-
ton from the car as to the action of
Russia in the event of war between France
and Germany. Ribot, minister of foreig
affairs. charges that Laboulaye's failure 70
get proposals for the alliance arose from
the cars anger at the fact that overtures
were first submitted to De Giers, the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, instead OF
to him. The car ordered De Giers to ig-
more the proposals for negotiations, and
took the first occasion to snub De Labou-
laye. who felt compelled TO ask Ribot to
relieve him from his duties.
The withdrawal Of Baron Mohrenheim,
Russian ambassador at Paris, is i'm
minent, as DeLaboulage acted on his ad-
vice. During the visit of the French
squadron to Cronstadt the car will be per-
sonally broached on the subject of united
action against the Dreibund, which is rem
dered all the more necessary through the
menacing of the commercial coalition be-

The report that Cristoyle is considering a

attempt to revive the canal company is
unfounded. Ministers Fallieries and Con-
stans have had meeting with high judi

in great demand among hostesses who
are in search of some new idea. Per
haps the most ludicrous part of the
whole performance is peep behind the
scenes as the decapitated forms of those
taking part are elevated at different
stages on the platform.
But in the western states, early in
the century, an audacious musician in
vented the swinette, harmony produc-
ing instrument that far outranks the
combination portrayed above. 1t con-
sists of a large box, ten or twelve feet
long, varying in height from three feet
to one foot, and in breadth from five
feet to one foot eight inches. 1t was
divided into eight compartments full
octave, of differing sizes. Into these
boxes eight hogs. of ages ranging from
five years down to one month, we're
placed. The tail of each animal was
passed through small hole in the end
of each compartment and a neat knot
tied therein. When the operator de-
sired to play he merely pulled the APP
propriate tail. Here's picture Of the

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
GOOD THINGS TO HAVE.

Pruning Saw and Brush Boat Which Are
Easily Made.
What is just the best season for the
general trimming of orchards seems
to be a question on the answer to
which all are not agreed, as perhaps all
have not the same objects in view in
doing the work; but probably a ma
jority have decided that the least in
jury is done to the trees when trimmed
while they are in a>dormant condition.
especially if the larger cuts are pro-
tected by some kind of waterproof
paint, which should be invariably ap-
piled. Many, especially among farm
ers, find that the most convenient time
to prune is during favorable weather in
winter or spring when other work is
not demanding their attention Much
of this orchard work has already been
done and more will shortly be under
taken; perhaps the mention of some of
the methods and devices which / have
found very serviceable and the uses OF
which have not seen elsewhere, may
prove of benefit to others
While neither the shears nor saw
alone will answer all purposes, yet for
general use in bearing trees the latter
is the more serviceable. For this pur-
pose use a saw about 22 inches long
and 1 inch wide, ground back with
about five or six teeth to the inch, filed
to cut one way and set in a frame
made of q inch oval iron or inches

A PRUNING SAW.

wide at the base and tapering to about
the base of the frame by which to
tighten the saw, and also a socket at
the middle of the base by which can
attach it to a light, stiff pole Zone of
Eastwood is BEST. This is about IL
inches thick at the socket and = inches
at the base and from 6 to 10 feet long.
The saw should be set in the frame SO
as to draw in cutting. With this tool
any ordinary tree of twenty-five years
growth can be trimmed from the
ground in less than half the time
needed with any other device and
much better, as from the ground one
can see the limbs that should be cut
more readily than from inside the tree,
and the work can also be done without
injury to the tree from standing on the
limbs with boots with nails, etc, bruis-
ing the bark.
Now for removing he accumulations
of brush, which in large orchards is a
tedious il, constructed boat made
of two ordinary mud-boat planks.
placed with the rear ends about eight
feet apart and the front ends about four
feet; the latter are fastened together by
a two-inch plank a foot or eighteen
inches wide and of the proper length,
bolted to the curved portion; and there
are three beams of four by four scant-
ling, one at the rear, one at the front,
and one at the center, and raised to
clear the ground about six or eight
inches. Upon these 1 nail a covering
