An Archduke, says the New York Press
this Young man felt that he was fail
ure. Born in the purple, the son OF
Leopold, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and
the Grand Duchess Maria Antonio, he
passed his boyhood and youth in all the
luxury and splendid dissipation OF the
imperial and highest aristocratic circles
of Austria. A scion of the younger gen.
Grafton of the Hapsburgs and Lieu
tenant Field Marshal of the Austrian
army, the career that opened before
him was one of opulence and military
distinction. But the Archduke wearied
of it all. He cared little for the art OF
soldering. His inclination ran to the
high seas instead. He detested the
the pomp and ceremony OF the gorgeous
court of Vienna and he had perfect
passion for the science of navigation.
To crown I'll he fell in love. 1t was
with Vienrese dancing girl. but with
most unprinccly manhood Archduke
Johann desired to make her. not his
mistress, but his wife. In spite OF the
bitter opposition Of the imperial fam
ily he insisted on laying down all his
honors and descending into plebeian-
ism. He resigned his Field Marshal
ship, he gave up his proud Archducal
title and he passed an examination
which satisfactorily proved his ability
to do the work of sea captain. Then
in the Santa Margaretha, an iron three
master of 1000 tons that he had bought,
the young merchant captain sailed for
London. In the British capital his Vi
ennese sweetheart met him, and they
were made man and wife. The Santa
Margaretha then set sail for Buenos
Ayres.
From the Argentine city Captain Orth
sailed for Valparaiso about the middle
of last July. Since that time nothing
positive has been known Of him or his
ship or of the wife who was with him.
It is as if the hungry sea had swallowed
them up. A shattered wreck seen aHoat
near Cape Horn is supposed to have
been the missing Austrian merchant
man. The length of time since the yes
| sci left Buenos Ayres renders 1t certain
+, IN the opinion of maritime experts that
| she has been wrecked and those or
board of her drowned. The whole
affair is so tragic and strange that il
| has aroused widespread attention ant
comment. "All the world loves lover,
and thousands of people in Europe anG
America have read with eager interest
the story of the Archduke Johann's de
votion to his plebe;an sweetheart. That
death should so soon have come to the
pair seems pitiful. The entire episode
goes to prove that there is plenty O

Epoked Wheels Unknown on the Pacific
Coast in 1841.
At this time there was not in CalifOf-
MIA any vehicle except rude Califcr-
MIA cart; the wheels were without tires,
and were made by telling an oak tree
and hewing it down till it made solid
wheel nearly foot thick on the rim
and little larger where the axle went
through. The hole for the axle would
be eight or nine inches in diameter, but
a few years use would increase it to a
foot. To make the hole, an auger, gouge
or chisel was sometimes used, but the
principal tool was al axe. A small tree
required but little hewing and shaping
to answer for an axle. These carts were
always drawn by oxen, the yoke being
dashed with rawhide to the horns. To
lubricate the axies they used soap THAT
is one thing the Mexicans could make),
carrying along for the purpose big
pail of thick soapsuds which was con-

3hey Are Among the Best Aids In Re-
storing Lost Fertility.
Very often the most insignificant
causes produce the most important eff
fects- This applies very forcibly to
earthworms- These little animals are
of much more consequence and have
much more influence in farm economy
than most people are aware of. They
are mighty in their effect by virtue Of
their minuteness- This property rem

very insignificant and despisable link

would make a lamentable chasm.
To say nothing of half the birds and
many quadrupeds which are entirely
supported by them, worms. instead OF
being hindrance to and consumer OF
vegetation, are really one of its best
promoters, in fact nearly all vegetation
would proceed but lamely without
them, for by boring. perforating and
loosening the soil. they render it per
vious to the rain and the fbrous roots
of the plants by drawing straws and
stalks of leaves into it; and, above all
they throw up such infinite numbers OF
heaps of earth called worm casts
which, being their excrement, is ont
of the finest fertilizers known to thu
chemist, and for this purpose alone
their increase and growth should be en-
couraged.
In all probability, worms provide new
soil for hills and slopes, where the rail-

Most people like mushrooms, bu. I

three hundred weight Of ordinary rough
salt to the acre, and soon after dibbled

mushroom spawn as big as a bean all
over the field. This did by myself by
degrees during a space Of month or
more, and the result has been that on
this field l have had a grand lot OF
mushrooms every year. from about May
until September. l have some salt put
on this field, more or less. every year
since first did it. and shall continue to
do so, as the dressing not only assists
in the production of mushrooms, but it
also improves the quality of the grass.

the former because they render the
walks unsightly and cause them a little
extra work, and the latter because, as
they think, the worms eat their sprout-
ing grain. These people would soon
find. however, that the earth without
worms would soon become cold, hard
bound, and void of all decomposition or
fermentation, and consequently sterile:
and besides. in favor of worms. it should
be known that green corn, plants and
flowers are not so much injured by
them as by many species of bugs in
their larvae or grub state, and by count
less myriads Of shelless snails, which
silently and imperceptihllyy make amaz-
ing havoc in the field and garden.
Worms work most in the spring and are
out every mild night in the winter, and
are very prolific.
An argument is often used that
worms are injurious to soil from the
simple fact that they are usually found
in the richer portions of the field. This
argument is about equal to that
of some who state that when
the mercury contracts, goes down
the weather gets colder; whereas
the cold causes the contraction,
instead of the contraction causing cold.
The same is true regarding worms in
rich soil; instead of worms being in
rich soil, rich soil is usually found where
the worms are; the latter causes the
former, and not rice rersa.
Worms are readily destroyed by the
application of common salt, sown
broadcast at the rate of FIVE or six
bushels per acre: or on grass plats, by
the application of lime water. or rather
milk of lime, which is readily made by
stirring for ten minutes pound of hot
lime in four pailfuls of water. But, for
a great many reasons, few of which
are suggested in the foregoing, care
should be taken to encourage worms,
not to destroy them. They are among
the best aids in bringing back the lost
vitality of the soil.-Prof. J. F. Elsom,
in Prairie Farmer.
