AN ARCHDuKE's COLONY.
His Efforts to Lead the Gypsies to the
Ways OF Civilization.

His Efforts to Lead the Gypsies to the
Ways OF Civilization.
Archduke Joseph OF Austria is little
less eccentric in his tnstes than the
Archdulze Johann, who married cho-
rus girl and became a sea captain. or
the Archdulse Heinrich, who sacrificed
his royal honors to wed an opera singer.
The Archdulse Josephs inclination,
however, turns him to gypsies rather
than to actresses, ard his writings on
gypsy traditions, gypsy music and
gypsy customs have secured for him
high place in the folklore literature of
the checkered Austro-Hungarian en-
pire.
The archduke's latest manifestation
of his peculiar fondness for gypsies is
an attempt to domesticate them, says
the New York Sun. He got permission
from Emperor Franz Joseph to form
gypsy colonies, and to try to teach
try, and then built sixty little cottages
for as many families on his Alesuth es-
tate in Hungary. About two weeks ago
he corralled a gypsy caravan and led it
to his uninhabited village. He chose a
strapping fellow of twenty-five for
chief, or mayor, and had married to him
by the pastor of Alesuth the prettiest
girl in the caravan. The archduke
himself gave the girl away, and a
friend was the best man. In the subse-
quent festivities the archdulSe appeared
in the full attire of gypsy chieftain,
and, according to custom, as the. man
who gave the bride away, led the we'd
ding procession with wreath of flow
ers on his head and bamboo stick
wrapped with gray cloth in his hand.
Each family in the new village has a
COW and pony and a quarter of an
acre of ground. The archduke is about
to erect a factory near the village, at
which all who are not thrifty enough to
support themselves without day labor
may find employment. Should the col
ony prove success other caravans are
to be captured by the archduke and To-
Gated in similar surroundings. His pur-
pose is to lead into ways OF comfort and
civilization the great horde of wander
ing folk who pass all their time in mi
grating in picturesque caravans from
one end of the Austro- Hungarian empire
| to the other.

THE EMPEROR OF ETHIPoIT.
An Enlightened Prince who Can Work
and Who Prays Two Hours Daily.

and Who Prays Two Hours Daily.
Count Pietro Antonelli, member Of
the italian parliament, who has spent
several years in Ethiopia and has been
sent many times as italian ambassador
to Emperor MenelilS, has given an in
'teresting account of that monarch in
recent Issue of the Riforma of Rome,
says the New York Tribune.
Menelik, says the count, who was
married to the Princess Taitu in 1888, is
now forty-eight years old. He is a man
of medium height and powerful body,
with dark-brown skin and coarse al
though not irregular features. He is
not naturally cruel and the signing of
death-warrants often makes him sor-
rowful and reflective. He understands
his people and is able to gain their love
and rule them wisely.
Although he now bears the title of
emperor of Ethipoit, commands an
army of one hundred and thirty thou
sand men with sixty thousand guns and
displays at times oriental splendor, he
is not ashamed to subject himself to
physical labor. He saws wood, makes
house models and supcrintends the con-
struction of buildings. a short time
ago terrible disease carried away
many of the oxen, and Menelils and his
courtiers used ralses and spades in order
to prepare the fields for the reception
of the seed.
He worked also three months as q
stone-mason on church which he or
dered built not long ago. He under
stands the main facts about railroads
and steamships and the principles of
telegraphy. He would gladly acquaint
his people with the technical advances
in science and the arts, but his advisers
will not consent to it.
Since the early SOS, adds the count,
Menelils has kept up his connection
with Europe. In mercantile affairs he
is the equal Of experienced tradcsmen.
In diplomatic matters he well under
stands the art of prolonging the discus
sion until he has reached decision.
| One who has to carry on business with
him must be observant and attentive.
| The emperor takes great interest in
European newspapers. He is fond OF
| talking with Europeans, also in order
to increase his knowledge of Europe.
He always receives Europeans in a
friendly and hattering manner.
AS rule the emperor breaks his
nights rest at three o'clock in the
morning. He prays then for two hours.
From five o'clock till seven he dictates
letters to his secretaries. At seven
o'clock he receives his ministers and
visitors of Importance and listens to
their reports of the state Of the empire.
He gives his orders for the day after
the reports and makes his appoint
ments. During the day he also finds
time to regulate watches, draw architi.
tectural plans, give medicine to the sick
and take care Of his army.

THE COUNTRYS SHEEP,
A Vast Increase in Their Number Il
Which Ohio Leads,


Which Ohio Leads.
Boston, Feb 29.-The Boston Com.
mercial Bulletin gives official figures
showing the number of sheep in the
country by which the clip of 1899
can be forecast with some exactness.
The official figures show that the total
increase in sheep is 1919, ,229, an in
crease which is very generally distrib-
uted in some surprising places
The decline is mostly in the southern
states, though the heaviest shortage is
in Colorado, where 100, l74 sheep have
disappeared, and in New Mexico.
where there are 10S 1SS less than last
year. The states showing the largest
increase are Texas (499O3) Illinois
(77,099); Michigan (S9 53o); Iowa (113,-
0oG); the Dakotas (215,6SD; California
(371,23D; and Ohio (406 1907.
Expert estimates from these figures
show that the total yield of the United
States in 1892 as S16, O53, ISL pounds, or,
estimating the shrinkage of pulled
woods at 40 per cent, a secured yield of
141, O96, 937 pounds.

NOTICES ON CHURCH BELLS.

Curious Inscriptions Copied from the
Metal in England.
In the Newbery Magazine there is an
interesting article on Bell lnscrip-
tions" A bell ut Bentley, N. H., is in
scribed:
John Eyer gave twenty round
TO meek me II losty sound.
Several Inscriptions on bells are Of an
amatory character a very common in
scription is the following. found in Cow
entry, Kncrcsborough, Northampton
and other places:
in wpdlocli's bonds ELL We who Join
With hands your hearts unite,
So snail our tunoful tongues combine
TO laud the nuptial rite.
On couple of Lincolnshire bells
one of 1907 and the other of 160S-we
have the following:
When female virtue wcds with manly worth
We catch the rapture and we spread it FORTH
Very often the happy pair are re-
minded of the transformers of human
existence aud of the end of all things.
Here is specimen of this kind of in
scription from Bakcwell (179S):
When men in Hymcn's bands unite
Our merry peals produce delight;
But when DEATH goes his dreary rounds
We send forth sad and solemn sounds.
A very suggestive inscription is that
on the bell at Hough-on-the-Hill, Lin
colnshire. 1t is dated 1888, and runs as
follows:
| When you do hear this mournful sound,
Prepare yourself for underground.

No. was the bell for summoning
worshipers to church:

That all may come and none may stay at home
No. was the fire bell, of which, too,
we have a specimen in the church at,
Sherborne:

Arise, run. put out the same.
One bell in All Saints, Northampton,
says:

That though I'm little, yet I'm good.
Whilst another at st. Ives says
"Arise and go about your business"
Punning inscriptions are not often to-
be met with. The following, found at;
Towchester, North II ants, may be held
as belonging to this class:
Pull on brave boys I'm metal to the back,
But will be hanged before crack.

AN AWFUL DISASTER.

Thirty Boats Lost and Three Hundred
Persons Drowned Near Oporto.
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Times Oporto
correspondent gives details of the
frightful storm reported from there
Saturday. He says: 1T is reported
that thirty boats are lost and 800
persons drowned. The loss OF life is
probably underated. The steamer
Elbe made three futile attempts to
leave Leixoes harbor on Satur-
day and fourth attempt on Sun
day, which succeeded. While out she
saved a boat-load of twenty men, and
has now returned up the coast to Vigo,
where some boats, it is reported, have
taken refuge. The storm did not effect
shipping in Leixoes harbor."

A recent prank Of the little queen Of
Holland, Wilhelmina, is recorded. Hav-
ing forgotten to prepare her geography
lesson on certain day, she was required
by her governess to draw a map of
Europe as a penalty. This governess,
by the way, is an English woman. When
the young sovereign had completed her

dot, while Holland had been exaggerated

FARM LABORERs WANTED.

Because of the scarcity Of farm labor
ers nearly one-third OF the North Da-
kota wheat crop is not yet threshed.
Unless help can be secured it will re-
main in the fields until spring, and then
it will be impossible for farmers to get
in a full acreage for the next crop. This
situation indicates that the farmers, not
only of the Dakotas but of all western
and northwestern farming states, will
be forced to the solution of a serious
problem. Farm laborers are becoming
scarcer every year. In the east a healthy
and industrious young man will earn
better wages as an apprentice, and at
the same time be fitting himself for a
trade. If he remains on a farm it is be-
cause he sees a near prospect OF owning
it. In the western states it is no diff
cult matter to become the owner Of 100
of land, and the ownership is much
more satisfactory than working for
wages. Wages on a Dakota farm are
down to a pretty low figure, and men
who can work will earn more at another
employment. Farm wages must i'm
prove or it is but a matter Of time when
western farmers will be- unable to har-
vest great crops in proper season. 1t
was only by strenuous efforts that the
wheat crops of the northwestern states
were harvested this year. Now the
problem Is turned to threshing it before
spring. When the farmers are relieved
from unjust tariff burdens their con
dition will improve and it is likely that
better remuneration will be given fol
labor. In the meantime they must be
satisfied with what they can save from
the great crops OF the past season.

BLAINE MEN MUST WORK.

When the Blaine and Harrison con
tingents inMontana come together to
choose delegatesf for the republican a
tional convention there WILDE fun for the
outsiders. 1t will DO a fight between the
rank and file OF Montana republicans
who are for Blaine and Commissioner
Carter and Russell b. Harrison aided by
all the government office holders who
can be brought in line. The difference
in strength is more apparent than real.
While the Blaine republicans are in the
majority they are sadly lacking in lead
ership and will probably enter the con-
vention without we'll defined plans for
action. On the other hand there is Mr..
Carter, a clever politician, the %cleverest,
perhaps in the republican party in this
state. His knowledge Of Montana pol
tics was materially increased during his
last race for congress and while attend
ing to the duties Of his office he has
kept in close touch with his lieutenants
in Montana. He will have the able as
sistance Of Mr.. Russell B. Harrison who
enjoys d certain degree Of prestige by
virtue Of his relationship to the admin
istration, and these gentlemen working
together will call upon all government
officers to rally to the Harrison standard.
They will respond to the bugle call for
nearly all are indebted to Mr.. Carter and
Mr.. HARRISON for political favors. That
is the way matters look at this range.
1t would indeed be both shocking and
scandalous for Montana, the home OF
the presidents son and the keyboard Of
the willy Mr.. Carter, to send a delegation
FOR any candidate but President Har-
rison. Such a calamity would remove
the polish from Mr.. Carter's rightly
earned reputation as a tactician OF the
first degree, a reputation now national
and by which he expects to reach higher
places in the political ladder.
It seems quite certain that President
Harrison will be a candidate for the
nomination regardless Of Blaine. He
has the patronage, an army OF office
holders to aid his interests and shrewd
political leaders in various sections Of
the country working for his re-nomina-
ton. People who think the Blaine
sentiment sufficiently strong to carry the
Maine mans nomination through with
one prolonged yell will be fooled.
But the Blaine republicans in Monta
ma must get down to work if they pro
pose to send a Blaine delegation to Min
neapolis.
