The Most Highly Priced of EUROPEAN
Decorations.
The ironclad knight has once more
made his omnibus appearance in the
streets of Vienna. He only comes
forth at the funerals of members of
the order of Maria Theresa and rides
in front of the hearse. with his superb
armor, the pennon on his lance and
his black charger shrouded in Grape
The corpse which necessltated his
rare pubic appearance was that of
the late Field Marshal Baron Won
Doepfner one of the distinguished
generals of the Austrian army He
met his death by falling down the
elevator shaft Of the house in which
he resided.
He received the Order CT Maria
Theresa for his magnificent gallantry
at the battle of Magenta against the
allied Franco-1talian army in 1859.
This order is probably the most highly
priced of all decorations in Europe,
for it is granted only in cases of alto
gether exceptional and extraordinary
bravery on the field Of battle, while
to obtain the superior grades it is
necessary to have commanded in chief
victorious army in conflict with
superior forces of the enemy.
There are only sixteen members of
the order left. says the New York Re-
corder. fourteen of whom are generals
or field marshals while the fifteenth
is an admiral and the sixteenth a sim
pie major. There is only one Grand
Cross. namely. the old Archduke Al
bert the victor of Custozza the gem
eralissimo of the Austrian army; and
one commander. namely. Field Mar

How to Breed.

Mr.. Sanders Spencer. an English
authority on pig raising said in the
course of lecture to farmers: The
great secret is to breed only from
those pigs whose sires and dams are
from prolific strains, and from those
sows that are bred to milk we'll. The
chief cause of so much dissatisfaction
in the past with so many of the So
called pedigreed pigs, has been in
want of attention to the prolifcacy
and rearing properties of the boars
and sows bred from. The great idea
has been to produce a pig short in the
head, heavy In the jowl. thick in the
shoulder. and wide on the top and
then to make. it so beastly fat that it
could neither eat grass, walk about.
or produce its species; nor was it fit
for anything but to render into lard
This is exactly the most useless and
the most Improbable kind of pig it
is possible to produce. The folly, like
any other silly fancy, takes a lot of
killing, but although it dies hard, its
death knell is sounded. and nothing
has brought about this most salts
factory change more than has the Dis
cussion in the press and at the farmers
clubs on the question OF the best pig
for the bacon curers' purpose.

Columbus didn't have much easier

thought he was crazy. and several
times he was incarcerated behind

of people in chains.
He fell in with King Ferdinand and
Isabella, who gave him enough to pay
his fare over to the United States.
