HE is HARD TO CONTROL,
Emperor William Nunning Things TO
Suit His Own Fancy.

LONDON, July II Emperor William
proved himself the most troublesome
state guest who ever visited the En-
gish court. The Queens sons have
been rushing about in attendance on
their imperious nephew like troop of
running footmen. and the Emperor, in
stead OF following the program drawn
up for him. and which he himself APP
proved. made inconvenient alterations
almost every day, and fulfilled en-
gagements only when it pleased him
to do SO. The Emperor wished to
get out of the Albert hall performance
and would very much have preferred
visit to the Lyceum. The Queen sue
cessfully impressed upon the Emperor
the imperative necessity of his contin-
ing his speech at the Guild hall to
platitudes and compliments, but this
was not achieved without much discus
sion, for His Majesty arrived at Wind
sor in state of dangerous ecStacy on
the subject of the triple alliance. and
would have liked to explain his senti-
ments on this very delicate subject
with his customary freedom. both at
the State banquet in st. Georges hall
and in the city.

save expense. A quarter acre, or even
less, will be large enough, if properly
planned. Those VINO ha Ie never tried it

spells; with exception of potatoes, all the
vegetables family can use throughout
the year, may be obtained, not even omit

fruits, the straw berry, whose first requisite

The cost, where there is already wind
mill and force pump, would be small, and
most seasons would pay well for the out
lay.
The requisite fittings for successful op.

mill, and raised a few feet from the ground
100 or 200 tt. of 14inch iron pipe, more or
less, according to distance of garden from
tank, and 25 or 80 tt. S4lnch rubber hose
without nozzle will about complete the
outfit. 1t is not necessary to Law the pipes
IN the ground, below frost: they can lie on
the surface, but in this case must be dis
connected, and put away on the approach
OF cold weather, or they may be utilized
for watering stock through winter. The

the operation from row to row, filing up

For the market garden, a much more
expensive service would be requisites; a
tank or reserve T, containing from 200 to
500 barrels, or more, would be none too
large In which to store a reserve supply.
Frequently during our driest and hottest
W, ather, there is not sufficient wlnd to run

not be obtained, serious damage is often
the result. Speaking from ten years per-
sonal experience, there has not been a sea-
son through that period that some crops
have failed to pay good interest on the
outlay. The last dry season, in which no
rain fell in this section of Kansas, to wet

THE sAvAGEs COAT OF MAIL.
Curious Armor of Cocoanut Thread Used
by Caroline Islanders.

The full armor worn by warrior of the
Caroline Islands is one Of the most curious
bits of savage workmanship in the world.
This suit consists of two separate parts
the clothing and the cuirass The cloth
ing, worn next to the skin. is made by
weaving or rather netting by hand, a web
of coarse cords twisted out of the husk of
the coeoanut, each cord being tied in a
hard knot between each mesh The knots
are crowded close together, and thicken
tie cloth so that it would not be easy to
stab or cut through it. 1t also protects
the legs against beng torn by thorny
shrubs or scratched in clambering over the
sharp coral rocks.
But the main curiosity in this armor is
the cuirass, or chest and head protector,
the like of which is known nowhere else.
The woof or substance of the cloth is of
cosoanut thread. the size of wrapping
twine. but tightly twisted and tough,
while the warp upon which this is woven
is much heavier, so that the finished clot b
is as thick as our heaviest canvas.
The threads are crowded very compactly
together also, so that no slight force would
be needed to force a blow through The
selvedge is bound over stout cord, and
ornamented by alternate plaits of black
hair and yellow fibre. Ornamental de-
signs are worked with horse hair, too.
The form of this outer war jacket is still
more remarkable 1t consists of two parts,
joined into one garment by the bands
covering the shoulders. Through the
round hole between the shoulder-bands the
head emerges, while the broad part is
folded around under the arms on each side
and laced firmly to the front flap by stout
cords. This done, there stands erect be-
hind the wearer's head a fan-shaped
shield, kept stiff by its well bound border,
and held erect and fixed By passing cords
down to the shoulder ON each side.

LONDON, July l3,-For some time

His Opinion.

LOUISVILLE, June 14-In the Courier
Journal, tomorrow, Henry Wa,terson will
answer a recent letter in the New York
World in which reference is made to Wat
tersons personal dislike of Governor
Hill. Watterson says he has
not the smallest personal dislike
of hill and referring to the campaign of
'92, says there is a widespread feeling
that Cleveland was defeated the last time
by some deal in New York with which
Hill was connected. Hill is not in sym.
pathy with the great democratic movement
for tax reform He will be
felt in the next convention but on the side
of destruction, not sof creation. Hill is
not a likelihood for nomination. For a
hope for that, he must show himself 70
be better man than the country thus far
believes him to be. Watterson in conclu-
sion says Hill may yet profit in time by
the kindly, though unpleasant council
given him.
