The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-02-05

After the declaration that the crown
prince was not necessarily mortally i'll,
and his pledge to renounce the throne was
supposed thus to be made invalid, he was
taken to England, to the Austrian Tyrol,
and finally to San Reno, whittier Mac
kenzie was summoned in haste, as the
crown prince had developed most threaten
ing symptoms. The crown prince was
already in tho grasp of death, but around
his heroic figure the bitterest medical feud
in history was waged between Mackenzie
and the German physicians. The English
party said that the German doctors wished
to get at the crown prince to kill him. The
German party retorted that Mackenzie was
torturing and manning the crown prince
SO as TO conceal from the country the fact
that Che crown prince had cancer.
William I. died on March 8, 1888. His son
was emperor and his daughter in law was
empress for ninety-nine days, and then
Frederick III. OF Germany died OF the dis
ease under which he had sunk steadily
for two years. German physicians say
this proved the case against Mackenzie.
Shortly after he had been knighted Sir
Morell Mackenzie published his defence
in q book entitled "The Fatal Illness of
Frederick the Noble"

The sneexing superstition.

The custom of saying God bless youP'
when a person sneezes dates from the time
of the Patrisrch Jacob. The rabbis say
that prior to the time when Jacob lived a
man never sneezed but once-the shock
consequent was certain death. When
Jacob came on the scene he interceded with
the Master and obtained relaxation of
this rigid law, subject to the condition that
in all countries when a person sneezed he
himself, if alone or a friend II one hap
pened to be near, should make a pious ex-
clamation. This soon crystallized into one
general form, that of God bless you"
1t is rather singular that this curious
custom is now observed. in one form or an
other, in most European countries today.
In Germany the sneezer Is saluted with
"Your good health;" in Ireland with God
bless your honor" In Italy and Spain
similar expressions are used. The Rus

claim, How do you dof--St. Louis Re-

American breeders seem possessed OF
the creative instinct, and every annual
exhibition has applicants for admission 10
the novice classes, and with claims to at
tention. But they have not had the busi-
ness faculty 10 make the most OF IL. Their
Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks have
gone TO England and these breeds have
been scattered throughout the civilized
world by English ships and from English
yards.
IL is TO counteract this that the annual
poultry show was established. The fol-
lowing extract from n circular letter
signed by all the prominent breeders i'm
the country, will show their feelings i'm
the matter.
ave, the undersigned, breeders and fan
ciers of the various sections OF America, take
this method OF calling your attention to the
importance, from a commercial standpoint, OF
doing all In our power to make the annual
shows at New York city the largest poultry
and pigeon shows in the world
"The export trade In thoroughbred poultry
Is at present controlled exclusively by the
English breeders. and annually brings them
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars.

and concerted support, we can make this show

1t is interesting to note how closely the
peculiarities of people are followed in
their poultry. The Sultan is native OF
Constantinople, the name in the original
being the Sultan's fowls. The Malay has
all the fierce expression and cruel dis
position of the people of the peninsula
from which it comes, whereas the Lang
sham, the true Chinese fowl, is gentle, in
dustrious and plodding, aud the japanese,
with only a sea between, Is as opposite in
character and appearance as are the two
people.
The negro fowl has black skin, and
wears a silky fleece instead OF feathers,
and is priced above all Others for its moth
erly instincts. But, yielding as this ma
ture is and much as it may be modified,
these peculiarities which carry the stamp
of nationality can never be entirely oblit-
Grated.
There are five distinctively American
fowls, the American Dominique, the Jer-
sey Blue, the Java, the Plymouth Rock,
and the Wyandotte. The last two are un-
questionably at this time the favorite
.owls in America.

A DIVERS ORDEAL.

CANNED Against n Submarine Tunnel
ana Tugged at for an Hour.
One OF the divers employed to keep the
great Ice foes away from the water works
crib at Chicago, on January %, had an ad-
venture which nearly cost him his life.
Diver John L. Scully was left at the
two-milo crib over night with nine extra
men, and the next morning he was sent
down to clear away accumulations of
small anchor or sheet ice that might be
found at the entrance to the portfolios.
scuuy was caught In the portfolio, and the
men above the water found that they
could not pull him up. The City Engi-
neer's Office was at once called up, and
without an instant's delay the north-side
pumping works were ordered to shut
down. II then took two tugs and sixteen
man more than an hour to drag the diver
from the mouth OF the tunnel, through
which the water Is drawn to the city. II
the pumps had worked five minutes
longer Scully probably would have been
sucked three miles through the bore TO
the water works.
After he had been rescued the diver
said:
