The Grand Duke Alexis right arm is
adorned with dragon which covers it
almost entirely from the wrist to the
elbow. The new Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha is tattooed much the same way,
while the Duke of York has couple of
crossed flags upon his forearm. King
George of Greece, his second son and his
nephew, the czarowitz, are each of them
tattooed Besides these there are among
the tattooed princes Queen Marguerite
of Italy's brother, the Duke of Genoa,
Archduke Stephen of Austria and Prince
Henry of Prussia. brother of Emperor
William.
Princess Waldemar of Denmark, wife
of the sailor son of King Christian, has a
beautiful anchor and crown tattooed on
her arm, halfway between her shoulder
and her elbow, and which of course is
conspicuous whenever she wears low
dress. Her husband likewise has naval
emblems tattooed on his arm, and so,
too, has King Oscar of Sweden, who
served for many years in the navy before
ascending the throne. His sons have
followed his example Herald

A Great Invention.

81 have here, - began the energetic
man as he bundled into the young law
yer's Office, the greatest invention of
the age.
1t was cases that the lawyer wanted,
not inventions, and he said something
rather rude, but the energetic man
proved to be philosopher and merely
smiled.
II call it, pursued the visitor, the
eternal kisser, because there is simply
no end to the kisses it bestows. 1t Is
this. He hauled out spray Of mis-
tletoe covered with white berries. This
interested the young lawyer, who raised
his eyebrows inquiringly.
'Mistletoe, proclaimed the agent,
sis very scarce this year, and bunch
containing a score of berries would
bankrupt poor man. Now. this great
invention brings happiness within reach
Of all Tradition permits you kiss for
each and every berry, you know. You
hold this spray above your beloved s
head-so. You bend-so-an kiss her.
Then you grab berry -so-and pull il
presto, it flies back again in place.

Zone fine afternoon, under a clear
sky, the storm came ON us. There was
hardly any warning. The typhoon shot
out of the gulf of Siam as though it
came from a cannon. What in the dis
lance was ripple ON the surface Of the
sea, as it approached us became feath-
cry, foam dashed mass of waves, and
the next instant the hurricane struck us.
All sail was slowed away, and we tore
ahead under bare poles at locomotive
speed. When the fury of the typhoon
abated, we found everything intact. The
mizzentopmast, however, was bare of
paint. The wind had blown the blisters
off, and nothing remained but the un-
covered wood. Portland Oregonian.

DIARRHEA AMONG BEES.
Treatment For Affected Colonies That Ar
Wintered In Cellars

Treatment For Affected Colonies That Are
wintered In Cellars.
In cold climates bee diarrhea is liable
to cause aparians trouble. The query
is, "What shall be done when colony
is found affected with diarrhea in the
cellar, and it is too early or too cold to
give them cleansing flight by removing
them temporarily from the CELLAR" This
question was recently considered in the
columns of The American Bee Journal
by number of prominent beekeepers
in various sections of the country. The
majority favored letting the bees alone,
two or three favored keeping the tenn
perature well up, while one suggested
peppermint dropped ON blotting paper
and put in the bottom of the hive.
G. w. Demaree said: eff the bees are
worth the trouble and expense, such
colony can be cured by stripping the
hive of all covering, close in the bees
with wirecloth and set the hive in
heated room for at least - hours. My
experiments on this line made some
wears ago proved that overloaded bees
can be relieved of excessive moisture by
heat and ventilation without the priv
lege of a fight in the open air."
James A. Green said: 81 do not think
it would pay to try to do anything with
them, though some have reported sue
cess by placing the hive in a gauze OF
wirecloth cage in warm room for
time, then lowering the temperature
gradually until the bees return to the
hive. You might experiment by vary
ing the temperature of the cellar, giving
more ventilation" etc.
S. l. Freedom suggested that if the
bees have been kept on natural stores,
try feeding them on granulated sugar
syrup and raise the temperature of the
cellar if you can manage to do SO. II
only one out of the many was affected
and the rest quiet, it might pay better te
sacrifice one than risk changing the sur.
roundings of the whole lot.
E. France said that if he found the
bees affected with diarrhea, he should
try to give them dryer place to live in.
He thought the trouble is too low a
temperature, and too damp. R. L. Tay-
Ior would do nothing except to have the
hive wide open at the bottom, and to
keep the temperature well up-to 40 de-
grees, or higher. G. NJ. Doolittle adj
vised letting the bees alone, but give
plenty Of air to the hive.

How a Little Man Avoided Fight With q
clustering Big One.

How q Little Man Avoided right Win D
clustering Big One.
The big man was just drunk enough
to be spelling for a fight That was
apparent to every one in the cafe. He
hadn't been there 10 minutes before he
picked quarrel with a man three
sizes smaller, who had been quietly
minding his own business in a corner
of the room.
'.sir, you We insulted me'' exclaimed
the big man.
"You are mistaken, quietly respond
ed the other.
You're a harl" Numbered the big
man, ''and if you know what that
means you'll fight.
Certainly, was the rejoinder, with
out a tremor of perturbation, "but it
must be after I've finished eating. /
never allow trifles to interfere with my
dinner. Waiter, hurry up that porter
house steaki Never mind if it is bit
rare.
The big man, nonplussed for the time
being by such display of GOODNESS, sat
down at table near by and glared at
his prospective victim. We all felt sor-
~ for him, but the big man looked dan
gerous, even if he was three sheets in
the wind, " and we decided not to in
terfere.
When the little man steak came in,
he said something to the waiter. Two
minutes later the waiter said something
to the big man. 1t was noticed that he
didn't look quite so fierce after that,
and soon afterward, remarking with as
sumed carelessness that he would be
back In a minute, he left the room.
Then some of us ventured to suggest
to the little man that it was a good OPP
portunity for him to skip" which,
considering the discrepancy in size be-
tween him and the man who had forced
a quarrel upon him, would involve no
disgrace.
Much obliged for your good advice, -
said he as coolly as ever, 'but there is
no necessity for that The other fellow
has run away already"
When is minutes had slipped by and
1.-THE other fellow" hadn't shown up,
we concluded that the little fellow was
right and wanted to know, of course,
what had caused the stampede.
"Oh, just a little bluff, = he replied.
81 WASH any more anxious to fight with
that brute than the rest of you were,
though. / knew he was coward, or he
wouldn't have picked out man SO

A method of fog signaling has been
introduced on several branches of the
North London system of the Great
Northern railway of England which
obviates much of the unreliability and
complexity of the systems hitherto used.
A wire is laid in pipe from the signal
box to the various signals, at which
brushes of copper project some four or
FIVE inches above the side Of the rail
nearest the signal. A similar brush,
which connects with an indicator and
bell on the engine, is fixed to the en-
CINE foot plate. When the signal points
to danger, the two brushes come in con-
tact, and the ringing of the bell and the
warning of the driver by a miniature
signal on the engine that the line is not
clear are the result. The arrangement
can be readily switched off in fine
weather SO as to become imperative.
This electric device seems to be the most
simple as well as the most efficient
means yet resorted to for fog signaling,
and the Great Northern railway intends
to adopt it over the whole of its lines. =

Care Of Seed Potatoes.

After selection the all important point
is to keep potatoes designed for seed at
as low q temperature as possible with
out danger of frost. The conditions, ac-
cording to The American Cultivator, are
best secured by keeping potatoes in dry
out of doors pits. In a northern climate
after the covering of the pit has frozen
over it will not thaw out again all win
ter. If there is danger of thawing too
early, covering of straw will maintain
an even degree of temperature below
freezing, while protecting the potatoes
from too much cold. The tubers will
come out with eyes as dormant as when
they were put in the pit. The potatoes
will be harder by evaporation of their
moisture. while those kept in cellars will
be made soft by starting of the eyes,
which rapidly take out the substance
needed to give the potato set its first
start after being planted.

Crossroads Rurial..

Formerly it was a general custom to
erect crosses at the junction of four
crossroads on place self consecrated ac-
cording to the piety of the age. Suicides
and VIGOROUSLY bad characters were
frequently buried near to these, not
with the notion of indignity, but in a
spirit of charity that, being excluded
from holy rites, they by being buried al
crossroads might be in places next in
sanctity to ground actually consecrated.

Germs In Milk.

Those fortunate people who have "their
own COW" have an extra care laid upon
them by their possession. Their milk
cans must be kept in an absolutely per-
feet condition.
They should be washed, scalded and
wiped perfectly dry after using. Then
they must be set out in the sun for II
hours, or if that is impossible, put before
the fire. Just before they are used again
they should be washed, scalded and
dried again. There is nothing in which
germs develop so rapidly as in milk, and
extra care is necessary to make sure that
the utensils contain no germs.-New

Nervous 1,roitabilitr After neath

Experiments made by M. d'Arsonval
with an instrument he calls myophone
prove, contrary to the older opinion,
that nervous excitability may exist for
many hours after death. The old test Of
the muscle shortening is no doubt not
applicable long after death has departed,
but as the sound given out by the myo-
phone proves, the death of nerve is
much less rapid than has been hitherto
supposed, and nerve may act ON mus
Gle in a state of electric excitability
without producing more than simple
molecular vibration.
