During one Of the German emperors re-
cent journeys his majesty passed Fried
richsruh, and, without any notice or warn-
ing given, he ordered the train to be
stopped and sent up a message to Prince
Bismarck that he was at the station and
would be glad to speak with him, request
ing him to come down and see him in his
saloon. Bismarck was somewhat taken
a0ack ut this sudden summons, but it
seems that in spite of the peculiarly Of
the way in which it was done he had al
ready made up his mind that he would 90
TO the station, when the princess and her
son. Count Herbert Bismarck, heard Of the
affair and at once did their best to dissuade
him.
They represented that the whole way in
which he had been summoned to the sta
ton was not correct; and in the end mes
senger was sent down, who informed the
emperor that Prince Bismarck was unable
to carry out his wishes, as he was indis-
posed. HereupOn the emperor gave orders
to go on, and the attempt at a recOncilia-
ton thus proved failure The German
emperor has since congratulated Count
Herbert Bismarck on his engagement to
Countess Hoyos It must be admitted
that his majesty has done all in his power
to smooth down the unpleasant state Of
affairs that has for so long existed between
Bismarck and himself At present the
German papers are full Of rumOrs about a
reconciliation which is to take place be-
tween kaiser and kanzler; but the incident
that have narrated has remained dead
secret until nOw.-Vanity Fair

The stables Of King Humbert of Italy

present nearly $50 horses, chiefly Eng
lish bred The double row of stalls
forms regular street, so beautifully
kept that it is a pleasure to wall
through it, and each animal has his
name printed in large letters on a little

English horses may be noticed such
names as Flirt, Milford, Lawn Tennis

The transformation and habits of the
grain moth, black weevil and red grain
beetle are about the same. The eggs
are laid within the grain, both before
and after it is gathered, and the mature
insects come forth in three to six weeks
after the eggs are laid. Their depreda-
lions are not confined to any one cereal,
and by their work they cause marked
decrease in weight Sulphur or salt
sprinlled in husked corn will tend to
drive the insects away.
The best remedy for grain insects is
bisulphide Of carbon. For this ''quar-
antine" bin should be built and the grain
treated in it as gathered. The amount
of bisulphide needed varies with the
tightness of the bin, but as a rule
ounce of bisulphide to 100 pounds Of
grain is sufficient. AS the bisulphide Is
explosive, all lights from matches,
cigars and the like should be kept away
until all odor from the fumes has passed
off. Insects in mills should be treated
with bisulphide, beginning in the base
ment and going upward, To destroy
all insects in the spring with bisulphide
in or near the empty granary will tend
to decrease any damage done the next
fall and winter.-Aiississippi Station.

Among the whimsical titles which APP
pear on the pages Of national history,
few are more apparently frivolous than
the Duke Of Marmalade, the Count Of
Lemonade and the Earl Of Brandy.
They are, or were, however, real titles,
bestowed by a genuine monarch on
three Of the favorites, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1911 a
revolution occurred in Hayh, and Chris
topic, a negro, declared himself en-
peror Through conspiracy and plot,
his life often attempted, he retained
power till 1920, preserving to the last
the appearance Of a royal court and Gre
ating a numerous ability.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddity of the titles
has suggested to many writers the friv-
olousness Of the African character. In
fact. however, all three names were
those Of places, the first two being origi-
nally plantations but latterly towns Of
some importance. This fact not being
generally known, 3 pisapprehension has
arisen with regard IA The titles them
selves, which, however absurd, are
scarcely more so than some which were
bestowed ia France and Germany dur

Spirited from Her Home by the Woman
Whom shs Calls Mother


BRDoEPoRT, Nov. 29-Little Hettie
Peppler has been found Yesterday her
father went to Hartford, where she had
been left at the Pratt street hotel last
Friday, and brougl her home.
When asked who left her there she said
Mamma Mrs. Keppler at first pro-
tested her innocence, and said she did
not remember what she did Friday
claiming that she had been drugged.
Hettie is an adopted child, and Mrs.
Peppler claims that she received a re-
quest from a strange woman, who said
She was the child's mother to take her to
the depot. Sne did so, and that was the
last she remembers. Hettie's mother
was known as Della Pipam, aud her
death is reported as occurring in the hos
pital two years ago.
When confronted with the child's
statement the only remark Mrs. Peppler
would make was, "If the child says SO it
must be so"
Mrs. Peppler spirited the child away
because she was jealous of the 5-year. ol
girl.
