WHY THE DINNER WAS LATE.

An Exhaustive Search Was Necessary to
Discover Important Utensils.
An incident which occurred two or
three years ago, on the occasion of the
young German emperor's visit to Greece,
illustrates anew the fact, which no one
ever doubted, that the etiquette of
court may bring as much discomfort to
the king as to the people who surround
bin.
The kaiser holds the honorary rank of
admiral in the British navy. The COM
mander of the British squadron in Greek
waters rendered his majesty dinner on
board his ship. OF course the banquet
was to be most elaborate and magnifi-
cent affair.
The hour arrived, and the royal guest
and his suite and officers, all in brilliant
uniform, were assembled. Then it was
discovered that an important implement
was missing. Where was the emperor's
knife and fork?
For the kaiser, having but one arm
that he can use-his left arm is with
ered-can WELD the scepter, the sword or
the pen, but cannot use a knife and fork
as other people use them. In their place
he employs an ingenious contrivance
which combines in one implement both
knife and fork, and does very well with it.
Just at that moment it was discovered
that the imperial knife and fork had not
been placed by the imperial plate. It
was sought for, but it could not be
found. The emperor's attendants were
inquired of; no one knew where it was.
Then the knife and fork might have
been left ashore, perhaps. A picked
crew were put into one Of the ships
boats, and brawny backs bent over the
oars, for the GRAND was one that called
for dispatch. The emperor's quarters in
the city were searched, but no knife and
fork could be found.
All this time the dinner was spelling
The search had been made with all pos
sible energy, but it was now two hours
since the table had lacked only the
kaiser's knife and fork. But the dinner
could not be eaten until the kaiser was
ready to eat, and his eating implements
must be found.
Perhaps before this time the happy
thought had occurred to more than one
person, 1.-THE emperor may know where
it is" But up to this time no one had
ventured to ask him. Would he, under
the melancholy circumstances, take it
amiss if he were questioned? Hunger
rendered the host bold; with decorus
delicacy the emperor was approached,
and the momentous question was put.
Could he tell where his knife and fork
might be found?
"Why, yes, here it is" replied William
II; and reaching inside his uniform he
produced the much sought implement
from an inner pocket.
The host forthwith led the way to the
table, not only greatly relieved in mind
but deeply impressed with the fact that
the affairs of Germany were in safe
hands.-Youth's Companion.

in a position to command rather than
obey, and the result is that the trust
is glad enough to cry quits on
Spreckels' own terms, which we're
that they were forever to let him
alone in California and also to pay
him $8,0O0000 for his Philadelphia
refinery. With this victory won,
and with profit of 100000 made
in few years, Mr.. Spreckels returns
to California, here to remain, where
his time will be devoted entirely to
his home interests"
Unlike other California million
aires who might be mentioned that
have made their money in this State
and then taken it to the East
and Europe, Mr.. Spreckels made
millions in the East and brought
them home to California, where they
will undoubtedly be invested.
Since his arrival here he has made
a gift to his sons, John d. and
Adolph, and his daughter Emma of
$1,000,000 each. Such princely en-
dowments have been rarely recorded

A QSEFUL FLOWER

Some time ago we called attention to the
Russian sunfower, and now comes Mr.. j.
NJ. Crawford, the United States consul
general at st. Petersburg, with much COM
mendation of its usefulness.
There are over 700, 900 acres of land de-
voted to the sunfower culture in Russia,
although the first effort to grow this plant
for mercantile purposes dates back no
further than 1S42 The chief product is
the seed, the average yield of which has
been about 1 $50 pounds to the acre, this
selling in Russia at an average price of II
cents pound. The yield to the farmer
growing sunfowers is about $50 an acre,
against the usual return of about $40
per acre for ordinary products, and the
soil in which the sunaower is grown be-
comes very porous and better prepared
for the rotation of crops. The seed of
some of the species of sunHowers is used
in making oil, which, in consequence of
superior color, flavor and taste and It's low
price, has largely taken the place in Rus
sia of the French table oil. In another
species of sunfower the seeds are sold to
be eaten somewhat as peanuts are in this
country. After the oil has been pressed
out of the seed it is sold in cake
form as food for cattle, the ex-
ports of this from Russia to Ger
many, Denmark and Great Britain aggre-
eating of late years nearly 100, 900
pounds year. The sunfower stalks are
gathered from the fields and.dried in piles,
and have very largely taken the place of
irewood in the country districts. In fact,
these stalks are preferred even to pine
wood, producing quick and hot flame
fire. AS about ton of such frewood is
gathered from an acre of land, this is
looked upon as a decided advantage in
those districts where wood is scarce.
The ashes of the sunfower contain a
high percentage of potassium, and are
largely used as fertilizer. Under the
system of cultivation adopted the stalks of
the sunflower are often three inches in
diameter and about eight feet long, some
times forming many heads, some of whic b
are more than foot in diameter and con-
tanning about 1900 seeds.
Altogether the Russian sunfower ap-
pears to have much merit. Its cultivation
might be worth the while of some of the
farmers of this country.

Musical Bicycles.


The latest horror is q musical bicycle.
Some kind of barrel organ will be at
tached to the machine, and will play auto
matically whenever the treadles are In mo-
ton. The pleasures of a country walk
will be greatly enhanced by the chance of
meeting at every turn a flying squadron of
bicyclists, all grinding out different melo-
dies. 1t is suggested that the idea should
be applied to other vehicles, SO that before
very long we may have the harmonious
hanson and the tuneful bus perambula-
ting the streets. On the whole, we are
afraid this new variation of the music of
the spheres will hardly be to the public
taste; and ye' there is, at any rate, one sd-
vantage to b. seen in the arrangement.
At present a noiseless machine may dash
round a corner in perfect silence, and up
set the harmless wsyfarer without the
slightest warning. In future, when he
hears music in the distance, the waytarer
will lie down, and by that r'sAns viii be
able to upset, or at any rate disconcert,
the cyclist without seriously hurting HIM
self.

THE EVIDENCE ALL IN.

1DnNOE n
What is called the ''defense" of the Big
-Four went on last evening. The idea ap-
peared to be to show that Mr.. Hill didn't
know much, anyway, and that his good
natural ability, his superior education and
his long experience didn't count for much
compared with the sagacity of sewer in
spector, etc. The cross examination by
Judge Stoddard showed the real quality of
the testimony. Mr.. Hilr's testimony in
rebuttal was strong and pointed-decided-
ly pointed, in fact.
The case is now closed, 80 far as the evil
dence is concerned. The counsel for the
citizens-Messrs. Stoddard and White
have presented their side of the case in a
very able, clear and systemstio way.
They have surprised those who at the be-
ginning couldn't see that there was much
of case, and they have very unpleasantly
surprised the accused and their counsel.
They have made it clear that
the deposed officers were deposed
for personal and political reasons
reasons hostile to good government. They
have made it clear that the accused COM
missioners misused their power in
various ways, and that they were on the
way to greater and more harmful. misuse
of it. They have completely proved the
charge made.
The defense has been feeble and futile.
The attempt was to show that Mr.. Hill was
not competent, and that Mr.. Waldron was
not polite. ItGvas a ridiculous failure.
And had it not been ridiculous, it would
have had fatal defect because it was an
afterthought. ANY defense of such action
as that of the commissioners that could
have been made should have been made at
the time of the action. Failure to make
any defense then was good evidence that
there was no defense to make. And no
defense that amounts to anything has been
made.
The commissioners did not testify in
their own behalf. They were confronted
by very unpleasant dilemma. If they
testified they would still further expose
themselves. If they did not testify their
silence could fairly be construed as evil
dence of guilt. They chose not to testify,
and in our opinion they acted wisely.
Now for the arguments and the conclu-
sion of the whole matter. The aldermen
have taken an oath to do their duty, and
their responsibility cannot be shirked.
