the railway telegraphers, says that a
strike on the Rock Island road is now
on and that all the telegraphers went
out at 10 a. m. General Manager st.
John, of the Rock Island road, on the
other hand said to the Associated Press
representative that everything was
moving as usual and the telegraph bus
iness of the road was being conducted
without delay. So far as he was ad-
vised the men had not gone out, some
men might have struck here and there,
but he had not received advices to that
effect.
DAVENPORT, Ia, Dec. S-Vice-presi-
dent Kimball, of the Rock Island road,
said at noon that the telegrapher's
strike would not seriously interfere
with the use of the wires for train work
in Iowa. From the Mississippi river to
Council Bluffs not more than twelve
operators have left their keys, and on
the division from Davenport to Kansas
City fifteen or twenty had gone out.
Trains were moving right on time by
the dispatcher's orders, except when
the snow storm had interfered. He
says the strike will not be general west
of the Mississippi river and that some
of the dispatchers will join the strikers.
The Davenport dispatchers are now
going over the southwestern line put
ting new men in the places of operators
who struck.

Great Yield of potatoee.

Some wonderful results with regard
to potato culture have been obtained
by gentleman farmer in France.
This farmer, who is also a distin-
guished chemist, has been, according
to a recent consular report from
Nantes, for some time past conducting
experiments with potatoes, with the
remarkable result that he has succeeded
in securing the enormous return OF
forty-two tons per acre. The plan he
adopts is to carefully select the seed
and to use only the best and soundest
tubers. The ground is dug or plowed
to great depth and is well MANFRED.
Before planting the seed potatoes they
are soaked for about twenty-four hours
in mixture composed of saltpetre and
sulphate of ammonia, six pounds of
each salt to twenty five gallons of
water. After this soaking the tubers
are allowed to drain, and they then
stand for twenty-four hours longer, in
order that the germs may have time to
swell. Chambers journal.

her majesty the empress. Among the
best known of the ladies enjoying this
privilege is probably Princess Pauline
Metternich, who for SO many years fig
ured as Austrian ambassadrass at Paris
In Italy three or four of the leading
ladies of the nobility in each of the
principal cities Of the kingdom, includ-
ing two American girls who have mar
ried members of the Roman aristocracy,
have received permission to describe
themselves as ladies in waiting to Queen
Marguerite, although they are never
called upon to perform any duties in
connection with the office, which is one
of purely honorary nature.
Queen Victoria has about dozen
ladies, including the dowager countess
Of Mayo. whose connection with her
household is of an honorary nature, and
in Spain each one Of the lady grandees,
whose possession of the so-called
grandezza" implies that they are of IL
lustrious ancestry, is allowed to style
herself lady in waiting to the queen.
As such, Empress Eurenie. of France,
was, until the date Of her marriage. an
honorary lady in waiting to Queen Isa-
bella. Of Spain.
| may state in conclusion that maids
Of honor and ladies in waiting have
played very important role In the his
tory Of the old world Some of them,
such as Lady Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane
Seymour and Countess Eugene de
Montijo, have become queens and en-
presses, while others have exercised
still greater influence over the sover-
eigns to whose courts they were at
tached than II they had actually Occur
pied positions on the throne. Nine de
Montespan, for instance, was the maid
Of honor Of the queen Of Louis XIV. Of
France before she became that mon
arch's Egeria, while Princess in
riewska was the maid Of honor of the
late czarina before she became the NOR
ganatic wife of Emperor Alexander Ii.
Many other princes of royal and imper-
4 ial houses have married their mothers
or sisters maids of honor. Among the
most recent cases Of the kind is that Of
Prince Oscar Of Sweden, whose wife, Miss
Ebba Munk, was up to the date Of her
wedding maid Of honor to the queen
/ Of Sweden a LADY IN WAITING.

married the other day, was known, not
as Miss Adeline Lotus, but as Hon
orable" Adeline Lotus.
Occasionally very peculiar calls are
made on the services of a lady in wait
ing, and one especially which occurs to
me at the present moment is that of
Countess Macclesfeld, who is the IA
vorite lady of the bed chamber TO the
princess of Wales. The birth of the
latter's eldest son took place very un-
expectedly and prematurely at Frog
more on the return of her royal high
ness from skating party on the lake
at Windsor, known by the name Of the
Virginia water. There was no time to
summon either doctors nor nurses, and
it was the countess Of Macclesfeld who
officiated in both capacities, being the
first person to welcome on his entry
into this world the late duke of Clar-
ence.
/ am glad to say that no such call as
this was ever made upon any of the
ladies in waiting during the years which
/ spent at the court of Austria. In
those days, however, before the en-
press had been debarred by her physl-
clans from equestrian exercise, the
duties of lady in waiting were of a
considerable more fatiguing nature
than those of the ladies in attendance
on Queen Victoria. For the empress
was an indefatigable rider. and con-
siderable portion of the waits" were
spent on horseback in accompanying
her majesty. The lady in waiting on
duty was forced to rise very early to &C
company the empress to mass in the
private chapel Thereupon, after drink
ing cup of coffee or chocolate, the
horse would be mounted and the en-
press with her lady would canter of
through the immense park which sur
rounds the imperial residence of &C.
dollo in Hungary.
In addition to the ordinary ladies in
waiting and maids of honor who are
actually employed and who receive a
a salary there are a large number of
distinguished persons who are author
lied to designate themselves as such, as
well as TO wear the badges of the office,
but who have no duties to perform, re-
cclsS no Sdldiy anu WHO fSqteHtly Fe-
main for years together without ever
appearing at court.
Thus the czarina has a number of
ladies in waiting and maids of honor
who spend most of their time in Paris
or the south of France, some of them,
in fact, not having set their foot in
Russia for decade.
In Austria any lady of noble birth
who can prove certain number of
nobiliary quarterings and whose an
cestry is absolutely free from plebeian
contamination is able to secure on APP
plication diploma emitting her to de-
scribe herself as lady OF the palace to

AMONG THE POULTRY.


Few things will keep hens from lay
ing sooner than feeding exclusively on
corn.
GENERALLY place near the city is
the best for an exclusive poultry bust
ness.
GEESE should not be too fat and yet
should be fat enough to present good
appearance.
RI not the largest fowl that is the
most vigorous, but rather the one with
bright eyes and quick movement.
DURING the fall and winter it is an
important item to arrange so chat the
fowls will take abundant exercise.
ALL kinds of poultry viii be the bet
ter for good shelter during The win
ter, even to the turkeys and guineas.
a PuLLET that is a hearty eater and
has never been sick will mature much
earlier than another not so fortunate.
IN counting the cost Of keeping poul-
try good plan is to estimate one BUSH
ell of grain year for each laying hen.
SAVE the manure. If properly saved
and composted the droppings from fifty
fowls will furnish hill fertilizers for
two acres.
A CROSS of the Wyandotte with the
Langshans viii give the yellow legs
wanted by the market and at the same
time retain the quality of flesh peculiar
to the Langshans.
SULPHUR for the nests, whitewash
for the houses, kerosene for the perch

food for the fowls are The secrets of
successful management.
ONE cheap way of making the poul-
try house warm is to paste papers on
the inside, using -four paste and putting
the paper on two or three layers thick.
Then whiten thoroughly.
WIrH a good range, plenty Of water
and comfortable quarters it IS eompar-
lively easy to raise ducks or geese.

question well paid, but they also con-
fer great social prestige, rank and
precedence, and are held almost exclu-
sively by women Of noble birth and
ancient descent. Thus in England the
post of mistress of the robes"-as the
chief of the feminine portion of the roy
al household is styled-is generally held
by duchess, while three of. the princi-
pal ladies of Queen Vietorias bed cham
Der are Duchesses Dowager Each of
these receives salary of 81, 500. Among
her majesty's women of the bed cham
Der are couple of peeresses of the
realm, while the maids of honor are all
of them either daughters or grand
daughters of peers. The pay of the bed
chamber women is the same as that of
the maids of honor, namely, 81 800 per
annum. This is likewise the average
amount o. remuneration paid by CONT
mental sovereigns to those of their maids
of honor and ladies in waiting whose
Office is not of purely honorary ma
ture.
Queen Victoria's ladies take an early
breakfast in their own room and then
have to await the summons to the queen
When at length they are called into the
royal presence brief good mornings are
uttered, though in kindly tone, the
queen generally addressing her attend
ants by their Christian names. The
morning is spent 10 reading aloud the
newspapers to the queen, in care
fully modulated voice, an occupation
which sometimes lasts two or three
hours. At two o'clock the queen lunches
alone with the members Of her family.
while the gentlemen and ladies of the
household have luncheon served apart.
Between three and four o'clock the
ladies accompany the sovereign on her
daily drive, and on return there is gen.
orally more reading, arrangement of
photographs, the finishing of dainty
bits of fancy work, Of which the royal
fingers have wearied, etc, when her
majesty retlres in order to dress for nine
o'clock dinner, just before going into
which the maid Of honor on duty hands
the queen her bouquet.
Queen Victoria is somewhat capricious
in her likes and dislikes. To those Of
her ladies in waiting to whom she be-

A cattle breeder says: Take two
animals Of about equal size and
strength, and tie them together with a
strong rope by placing one end around

end around the horns Of the other and
make them fast, as for leading or tying
up, leaving three or four feet of rope
between the inner horns; turn them
