Admiral waihcr Expected Back From
Hawaii This summer

Hawaii This summer.
wAsnISoTox.-Ther can no longer lie
any doub, that Rear Admiral Walkers
assignment TO the command of the Pa
cific squadron is Of temporary nature
and IL directly connected with the es,ab-
lishment OF . coaling station at Pearl
Harbor and for vigorous enforcement
Of the Monroe doctrine in case there
should be any danger Of foreign inter
ference during the coming elections. Ad-
miral Walker has been selected for the
eupcrintendency Of the Naval Academy
to relieve Captain Phythisn, whose term
expires in July next. 1t therefore fol.
lows that when Rear Admiral Walker
Was assigned 10 the command Of the Pa.
cific squadron the department had a spe-
cial object in view in sending him 10
Hawaii, and that his mission would he
short. He may not return 10 the United
States in time TO relieve Captain Phyth-
ian in July, but he lie likely TO take
charge Of the academy before the begin
ming Of the school year in September.

The samoan Situation.

LoNDoS.-Sir George Baden Powell in
the House Of Commons inquired whether
it was proposed that New Zealand should
administer the government Of Samoa,
and whether the United States and Ger
many had been consulted in the matter.
II 70, would the government make q
statement as to the attitude assumed by
Germany and America. Sir Edward
Grey, Under Foreign Secretary, said
that telegram to the effect that New
Zealand proposed to administer the af-
fairs Of Samoa had just been received at
the colonial Office, but it had not vet
been communicated to the foreign office.
The proposal as described in the tele-
gram, he said, did not seem consistent
with the terms Of the Berlin act.

SAS fR,ScIsco.-As many predicted,
the Chinese took advantage Of the Mid
winter Fair concession TO bring in quite
= number OF their countrymen intent on
making q home in the United States. IL
Was represented that after the fair was
over they would return 10 the Flowery
Kingdom. That this assurance Was only
a misrepresentation IL evident from GER
tain facts now in the possession Of the
Federal officials. II II believed that
many Of the exhibitor have scattered
throughout the country. and that others
were prepared 10 make prolonged STAYS is
evident from the fact that Ave 81 them
boldly attempted 10 take advantage OF
the registration act. The estimates Of
those registered In San Francisco range

Not Aimed ut Americans.

PARIs.-There is no truth in the story
the decree signed by President Carnot,
forbidding members OF the French dip
iomAtic and consular service under pain
Of dismissal TO marry without the per-
mission Of the Foreign Minister. was
provoked by the marriage of NJ. Jules
Patenotre and Count d'Aunay to Ameri-
can ladies. II is explained At the foreign
Office that the marriages of representa-
tives of the French government to for
eigners are becoming more frequent. and
that il may affect the position of those
already having foreign wives, but it is
not aimed at Americans. Premier Cas-
imir also explains distinctly that the
Presidents action is not due to the num-
Der OF Americans who have married
Frenchmen. but lie in consequence OF the
marriage OF French representatives to
the ladies Of other nationalities who are
Questionable TO the French government.

LoxDoS.-The Prime Minister, Lord
Rosebery, in . speech at . meeting Of
the City Liberal Club said he was Of the
opinion that the English were becoming
exceedingly weary Of the eternal strug-
gle for and against Irish coercion. He
asked the Unionists whether apart from
the Irish question it was worth their
while to hold aloof from the Liberal
party owing to its copyright of the word
Liberal" II they formerly held aloof
from the party in the belief that its for
eign policy was null and void, they were
not likely, he said, to believe 90 longer,
as the government was determined to
maintain the unity OF the Empire abroad
and the unity in the best sense Of the
word Of the three kingdoms at home.

Of Mr.. Bingham was withdrawn on April

To Keep Cider Sweet.

The Scientific American tells how to
keep cider sweet. It says that pure,
sweet cider that is arrested in the proc
ese Of fermentation before 1t becomes
acetic acid, or even alcohol, and with
carbonic acid worked out, is one OF the
most delightful beverages, and gives the
following scientific method of treating it
to preserve its sweetness: When the
saccharine matters by fermentation are
being converted into alcohol, il bent
tube be inserted into the bune. with the
other end into q pail Of water, to allow
the carbonic acid gas evolved to pass of
without admitting any air into the bar
rel, Q beverage will be obtained that is
fit nectar for the gods. A handy way is
to fill yeur cask nearly up to the wooden
faucet when the cask is rolled 30 the
bung is down. Get q common rubber
tube snd slip it over the end in the pail.
Then turn the plug 90 the interior Of the
cask can have communication with the
pail. After the water in the pail ceases
to bubble bottle or store your cider away.

One OF the frequent mistakes Of the
season lie the too early turning Of the
COWS upon the pastures, where shonld-
be obsolete system of feeding is still
kept up. The first growth lie too su.-n-
lent to be healthful and too small to give
. full feed, and il Lessons the appetite
for dry food. Two weeks' delay will
make 9 difference Of fully 80 per cent in
the effect of the feeding through the
summer. 1t will afford time for vigor-
Gus root growth. without which the herb
age will not be able to recover the injury
by the too early spring pasturing. and
thus the growth will be le~eened perma-
nently. 1t will be much better to delay
the feeding and spend the time in en-
coursging the growth OF the grass by an
application Of 100 pounds per acre OF
nitrate Of soda with the same quantity
OF gypsum. This will show its excellent
results ali the summer and keep the
heritage green and luxuriant, 20 as to
carry . larger number Of COWS than it
would otherwise do. Pasturine is .
costly business anyhow, but still more
90 il the mista';e lie made Of feeding IL

THE HALTER FULLER.
The Most Disagreeable Of
Equine Bad Habits.
HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A CURE.

Herses Invariably Acquire the Habit ~
Succeeding !. Breaking IN Old nsIsss
Or Birdie During Their Coithoed-A
Care Alnost lapsssibIe.
Halter-pulling il one Of the most dis.
agreeable in the list Of equine habits.
In Britain, If horse IL warranted free
from vice and turns ont to be . halter
puller. he may be returned and the price
recovered. Horses invariably acquire
the habit by succeeding in breaking an
old halter or bride during their colt
hood, says the Rocky Mountain Hus-
bandman, and it IL almost impossible to
cure them Of it. An old friend Of the
writer-a vindictivc old curmudgeon,
who loved to get even. II only with .
horse-bought . very likely four-year-
old, and on his first visit after purchase
ing the brute to the country town near
which he lived had the pleasure Of see
ing him pull back on the tie strap, break
it and start of ON . run. By and by he
recovered possession Of the colt and, Sc
curing . good inch rope, made . clip
headstall and tied him mp with ii. Back
few the four-year-old Immediately. and
hung his whole weight on the rope till
first one strand and then another gave
way, finally freeing himself, bat in too
exhausted q condition to avail himself of
his freedom. Then his owner deter
mined on . course Of kill or cure. So he
rode the colt over to the timber, and 60
lecting . maple sapling close to the creek
bank, which dropped sheer down to
twelve feet Of wafer. edged the animal
around till his tail was toward the hank.
Then he tied the colt to the sapling,
whipped out his knife and threw his old
hat in the horses face. The halter
puller at once surged back for dear life.
the keen edge Of the knife cut the rope
drawn taut against the bark Of the tree,
and away plunged the colt tail first into
the water. He swan out on the other
side, waited until his master went round
by the foot bridge to get him. and alter
ward could never get close enough to the
post to which he might be hitched. In
TACT, it was no longer necessary to tie
him up when in harness; he could hard
~ be led away. The fall might. OF course,
have damaged him permanently or inn
mediately destroyed him. but the depth
of the water prevented both and made .
useful beast Of him afterward. The writer
has since known Of more than one halter
puller being cured Of his vice in this
way, and therefore can recommend the
remedy to those in need Of advice on the
subject.
