St. Johns Divorce Doubtful.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Although replete
with every phase of squalid immortality
and intrigue, the st. John divorce case
does not attract much attention. The
general opinion is that st. John will not
get her divorce. Marius publicly admits
his adultery since his separation from
his wife, but st. Johns charges of cru

PARIS, Dec. William the excit-
able continues to disturb the world by
the changing and chopping of his pol
icy. Alexander the impassive is calmly
carrying out steady plan. The public
knows what appears on the surface. It
is familiar with the commercial designs
of the Triple Alliance, which have been
directed against Russia and her friends.
But it knows less of the movements OF
the car, who goes on extending the
ralnifications of his policy.

III t1iC tIO>S anu ClSSCtilb.
Some time ago it was rumored in Dip
lomatic circles at Constantinople that
the sultan had sent special embassy to
the czar. The representatives of the
nations in the Triple Alliance took alarm
and called upon the grand vizler to ask
for an explanation. BY order Of the
sultan and grand vizier replied that
Fuad Paeha had been charged with
mission to the Russian monarch.
The Sultan Sends an Envoy.
For fear Of arousing suspicion negotia-
tions have not been conducted by NJ.
Nelidoff, the accredited envoy of Russia
to Constantinople, but through the
French embassy. 1t was the first Off
cial expression of the Franco Russian
union. Since then the truth has become
known to the European governments
and has stirred up much anger in Berlin.
Alexander assured Fuad Pacha that
Turkey had no need to fear Russia, who
was predestined by nature to be her ally.
England Must Keep Out.
He added that Turkish interests in the
Black sea made it imperative to concert
measures for preventing foreign fleets
from entering the Dardanelles, and
called attention to the fact that the de-
lenses of the Dardanelles were too weak
and the Turkish fleet was not numerous
enough to bar the way against an En-
glish squadron.

defend the Dardanelles. We can under

POULTRY RAISING.
The Production of Eggs and Growing of
 RroiIers Is Profitable

The poultry business for egg produc- tion, also for the growing of broilers for market, is nearly everywhere a profit able business on this coast when well managed, and especially is either branch of it a good paying business of itself, near our great city markets.
 Petaluma, Souoma county, thirty miles north of San Francisco, with cheap water and railroad transportation, seems to be the great head centre of the poultry business on this coast. There hundreds can be found with it their sole business and dependenCe; some as egg producers, others giving thier attention to broilers for the city market, and many others making poultry farming an adjunct to other rural occupations, and even city businesses, especially fruit growing, these two industries seemingly fitting nicely together Others have poultry in connection with dairies, and in the whole of Sonoma county nearly every country home will be found with poultry yards of from fifty to one thous- and fowls, except some of the largest dairies. These, to their loss many of them, grow nothing but COWS and hay.
 One would think on market days in Petaluma the surrounding country pro- duces enough poultry and eggs to glut all the markets of the coast. Eggs come in by the 10000 dozen and poultry by the 100 dozen constantly. New poultry yards are constantly starting, but still the demand increases with the supply, and the full demand is supplied only at great cost by importing many supple, mental carloads of both poultry and eggs from the great prairie states, which goes to prove that there is not the least bit of danger that either branch of the business will be Oyerdone in the near future.
 In fact this coast has the climate, the winter climate, that should enable Our poultry men to supply all the broilers that the high-livers of the East would be willing to pay for.
 Therefore, the production of poultry products bids fair in every way to bC one of the permanent paying and saft industries of this coast. It is the pOol mans friend-the one paying business that requires only small capital t, start with. The men starting small fruit farms will find few coops of fit hens distributed over the place and care fully cared for, the bridge that will hell to carry them safely over the ad interim until their fruits come into bearing.
