is very wealthy. The duchess is a Han
overian by birth. She is a large,
MISUNDERSTANDING woman, somewhat in
clined to StoutneSS, but no one to look
at her would ever dream that she was
the mother of a full-grown man, not to
speak of her having been grandmother
for several years. For many years it
has been expected that her marriage to
Lord Harrington would follow the death
of her husband. the Duke of Manches-
ter, and when he died a few months
ago reports of her approaching mar
rage began to be circulated. She had been
separated from the duke, and her rela-
tons with the marquis we're subject
of gossip all ever England for many
years, but neither duke nor duchess was
in position to procure divorce. She
is said to be gifted with talent for pol
ltlcS which is rare among the female
members of the English ariStocracy.and
to have been for many years Lerd Hart
ingtOn'S most trusted counselor. AL
tho Ugh not actually boycOtted she was,
during her separation from the late
duke, excluded from the more formal
entertainments of society. But that did
nOtprevent her mixing freely in the same
society at watering places and summer
resorts, OF from having the honor of
forming dinner party OF three with
the marquis and Mr.. Gladstone. Her
experience in regard to titles is very
rare. After having been first mar
chioness and then duchess for several
years she will become marchioness
once more, and then, when Lord Hart
ingtOn's father dies and he becomes
Duke of Devonshire, she will be a
duchess again. The dowager duchess
has the honor OF having an American
lady for her daughter-in-Iaw, her eldest
son, the present Duke of Manchester,
having married Miss Yznaga, of New

PEoF. Brooks, a philosophical citi
zen and al eminent conchologist of
Maryland, has warned the people of his
State that unless the Legislature does
its duty there soon will be an oyster
famine. In public statement he sets
forth that in fifty six years Chesapeake
Bay has yielded about 100000, 900
bushels OF oysters. but that this rich
and profitable inheritance has been
wasted so recklessly that not 1.-THE of
it will descend to the next generation
unless the entire oyster industry is
reformed without delay What is need
ed is, first, the protection Of the natu.
raj beds against unlicensed tongsmen
and dredgers; and second, scientific
oyster farming, art icial culture, care
full bedding and planting. With timely
and wise legislation, he is confident
that the time will come when the oys-
ter harvests every year will be equal
to the total harvests of the last fifty
years, and they will not deplete or ex-
haust the beds AS about three fourths
of the Chesapeake Bay supply is now
consumed outside of Maryland, the oys
ter consumers of the country have the
right to regard this as national ques-
ton and to expect that the Maryland
solons will do their duty.

Canning for Cyclones.

Edward Daniel Belts is an artist and
man with sharp eye. He read the
other day about some hunter on tine
plains who was pursued by relentless
cyclone. In sheer desperation the
hunter turned and fired his trusty rife
at the rapidly approaching funnel
shaped cloud. Instantly the wind be-
gan to lose its nerve, and in less than
than minute the landscape was as
beautiful as day in June.
Mr.. Belts shut himself up and
wrestled with the secrets Of nature. At
last he struck pay gravel, and his pat
ent is applied for.
ut is large rubber ball filled with
gun cotton or dynamite, he explained,
(which will be hurled with terrific
force at the advancing cyclone. The
explosive will have fuse to it which
will be ignited automatically.
He further explained that the pro-
polling instrument was so arranged
that it always pointed at the cyclone.
The ball was thrown after the wind
had attained a certain velocity.
Mr.. Belts has had great deal of
trouble in arranging this last detail.
For he found that if he set it at too
low notch the machine would go off
IN stiff breeze and throw the rubber
ball Of dynamite over into neighbor-
ing pasture or down into COW lot.
doing great and immediate damage to
the COWS without any material adj
vantage. Then again, if the machine
were set too high it would not get into
active operation until after the entire
family had crossed the Dark River and
the cyclone was in the next county.
Mr. Belts says there is no question
but that dose of dynamite will knock
any cyclone cold. The machines can
be put on high pole out of the reach
OF goats and children. Chicago Inter

rocky, to learn that William Henry

Another illusion fraught with dramatic
intensity and hard to dispel is the scene
that followed after the alleged apple

ABOUT the hardest person on earth
to entertain is the man who comes to

in chair in the parlor, with novel or
a piece of crocheting, and leave him
there while you are at work, as you
would with a woman. If he accompa-
MES the man of the house down town
he wanders in and out in such lone
some way that he is an actual burden
on his hosts conscience, and he longs
for loafng acquaintance who will
