THE reception given by Mrs.
Along on the occasion of the mar
riage of her daughter Henrietta to
Capt. w. III. Whiting, of the U. S..
Navy Dec. 5, is conceded by all
who Witnessed it, to have been the
most attractive and most largely
attended ever held in this city. The
presence of so many naval officers
in full uniform from the four war
ships in port, with a full represen-
tatlon from the diplomatic and con-
sular corps and from the principal
dignitaries and residents of the
city, lent to it an air of elegance
unsurpassed by any of the royal en-
tertainments at the palace in years
gone by. AS was tersely expressed
by well-traveled young lady, sit
was the SWEETEST affair ever seen
here"

THE subject of continuing in the
public service the employees of the
monarchy, who have been allowed
to retain office till now, has been
taken up and warmly discussed
during the present week by the
Provisional Government and the
Supreme Court, which have been
spurred to this action by public
sentiment. 1t is argued that when
the Provisional Government was
established, it was expected that
the future form of government
would be decided within a few
months at the farthest. Instead
of which, nearly a year has passed,
and nothing decisive has tran
spired. 1t is argued, and with
much force, that plans must soon
be made for a more permanent
government, and it will be unwise
to retain in office men who are
suspected of being opposed to the
present government, or are known
to be the avowed friends of the ex-
queen. Especially SO at this time,
when the strength of the Provi-
sional Government is likely to be
put to a crucial test, should a re-
newal of the orders from Washing
ton be received. The Provisional
Council very properly gave deci-
sive vote of II to in favor of the
resolution brought before it to in
vestigate any cases which may be
reported to the Government as re-
curing such action.

HOW OLD is THE EARTH.

biologists Estimate Its Age Vari-
OuSly, but All in Millions or
Years.
q. Among all the means afforded by
geology for direct estimates of the
earth's dura ton, doubtless the most re-
liable is through comparing the present
measured rate Of denudation Of CONT
mental areas with the greatest deter
mined thickness of the strata referable
to the successive time divisions The
factors Of this method of estimate,
however, are in considerable part un-
certain or dependent on the varying
opinions of different geologists.
According to Sir Archibald Geikie, in
his presidential address a year ago be-
fore the British association, the time
thus required for the formation Of all
h istratifed rocks of the earth's crust may
range from minimum Of $4,000, 600 up
to a maximum Of 6SO,O00,OOO years.
Prof. Samuel Haughton obtains in this
way, "for the whole duration Of geolog-
icai time a minimum Of 2OO,0OO,OOO
years. On the other hand, smaller re-
suits are reached through the same
method by Dana, who conjectures that
the earth's age may be about 48, 600, 900
years since the formation of the Oldest
fossiIiforous rocks; and by Alfred Rus
sci Wallace, who concludes that this
time has probably been only about
2SO0O,OOO years. With these, rather
than with the foregoing, we may also
place T.. Mellard Reades recent esti-
mate of ,95 100000 years, similarly de-
rived. Again, c. D. Walcott, in his vice
presidential address before section e
of the American Association for the
Advance of Science, in its meeting Of
last August, gave his opinion from Il
study of the sedimentary rocks of the
Western Cordilleran area of the United
States that the duration of time since
the Archaean era has been probably
some 45,OOO,OOO years.-Prof. Warren
Upham in the Popular Science Monthly.

Some Spanish Bridges.

Several novelties in bridges have
been constructed by a young. Spanish
architect, Don Alberto Palacio, at Bill
bao. The "ferry" bridge crosses the
Nervion by span Of $50 feet, and
consists of a skeleton platform at a
height Of 12S feet, from which tray
cling car-weighing forty tons, with
running gear and passengers is hung
lust above the surface of the water.
The platform, carrying rails for the
wheels on which the car is slung by
wire ropes, is supported as a suspen-
sion bridge between two iron towers.
Crossing the river at another point IS
the rolling bridge, an elevated
steam car or platform-with cabin Tor
passengers and space for horses and
rriages-which runs on rails laid on
the bottom of the river, the trucks OF
the car being under water. Yet an
other unique work has been built In
the center Of the city, over which was
formerly waste and foul space. 1t
comprises a substantial bridge 100
feet wide, which is surmounted by an
immense municipal building, with a
central covered street, or passageWay
in which the merchants may meet to
| transact business in any weather

PARNELL'S ERSTITlONS.
He Would Not Go On With a Bill
Containing Thirteen Clauses.

Containing Thirteen Clauses.
A little light is thrown upon the
somewhat mystical character OF the
late MI. Parnen by some curious
stories which are told by Mr.. t. M.
Healy in the Westminster Gazette. A
superstitious strain seemed, says Mr.
Healey, to thread it's way through the
Irish leaders mind like vein Of mar
BILE. When he was boy he had an
old nurse-a Mrs. Tuppeny-Who
scared him with horrible stories, and
he never got over it. He would COM
mence no important business on FIJI
day; he started if any one offered TO
help him to salt, and he would drink
no wine at table unless the decanter
came round from right to left.
The foibles affected even the leglsla-
tion he sought to compass. When he
and Mr.. Maurice Healey had together
drafted in Kilmainham Jail the amend
ing land bill afterward brought in by
Mr.. Redmond, he discovered that the
final draft contained thirteen clauses,
and threw it on the table as if he had
been stung. "This will never do" he
said sternly, and Mr.. Healey could not
move him. It was Late in the after
noon, post hour approached, and an
other days delay might prevent the
draft reaching the queens printer, in
London in time for distribution to
members before the second reading.
A hasty dissection of the bill was
made, but only to show that it could
| not well be shorn Of clause. What
could he hit upon? There, in bewil-
derment and anxiety, stood statesman
and craftsman in her majesty's pris-
On at Kilmainham, cycling each other
in despair in the darkening cell as the
minutes to post hour slipped away:
At last a gleam flashed from Mr.
Parnell's eyes, half ironical, half trl:
umphant. ''I have it, said he. Add
those ID clauses Of yours, and thai
will get us out of the difficulty" Thus
were the tenets of Mrs. Tuppenny
saved from desecration.

Renewing Old Trees,

these trees afterWard afforded repaid
many times the labor. A striking

Novel Way of Weaving.

They are early risers in q Katchin
village, and although I was up with
the sun the village maidens were be-
fore me, says Col. II. e. Colvile in
Scribner's, and when I looked out of
my doorway party of them were al
ready engaged in weaving the dark
blue cloth of which their dresses are
made. Sitting on the slope of a knoll,
with their faces toward the summit,
they fastened one end Of the woof to
stout stakes driven into the ground,
and the other round their waists, and
thus the force Of gravitation giving
them a tendency to topple over back
ward, it is always kept tight. Then
holding the shuttle in both hands, they
rather laboriously pass it backward
and forward, producing an infnitesi-
NAL amount of cloth after long day
Of hard work The result when fin
ished, however, is highly satisfactory,
and, taking into consideration the labor
involved in it's manufacture, fully justi-
fies the high value they set on it, which
is so great that it is almost impossible
to induce them to sell it.

Hints to Farmers.

There is less talk of overproduction
in the dairy line than in any business
of which we know.
Punctuality should be the motto Of
the dairyman. Regularity in feeding
and milking is prime factor in getting
the highest results.
Do you know any way by which the
corn land can be more thoroughly,
easily and cheaply fertilized than by
plowing under a good growth Of rye?
If so, we would like to have your ex-
perience, as we have never found bet
ter method.
We have observed for many years
that the blackberry is rarely ever
abundant in any of our large markets.
This is crop that rarely fails where it
has proper attention, and will return a
good profit upon the land and labor
which it requires.
When planting trees for the adorn-
ment Of the home grounds let us coun-
sci you to give preference to the native
forest grOWths. Do not waste money
for fancy foreign growths that are not
half so handsome nor we'll suited to
the purpose. Nearly all Of our native
trees can be used to advantage for this
purpose. a..
More boiled cotton seed for the cows
should be used in the South. That is,
not more by the individual farmer,
who, if he uses it at all, puts it in
with other rations, as it is too rich to
feed alone; but more farmers should
utilize this food in section where
dairying is at last becoming recognized
as a most profitable business.
There is as much need for the study
Of economy in the household as upon
the farm. It has always been matter
for wonder with us that farmers will
buy their table supplies in such small
quantities, when a good percentage
could be saved by buying in larger
lots. In purchasing almost all staples
two or three families could join to-
gether and get goods at almost whole
sale prices.
