 feeling growing out of the election of pr. Leuger, the anti-semite leader in the reicbsrath. as burgomaster of Vien- na and his rejection by the emperor, has not died out by any means, and enormous crowds of Jew haters, sympa- thizers of pr. Leuger and the usual mob clement of the city. went to the Prater Sto take part in the projected meeting. ,fhe police had received instructions not to permit the holding of the meeting and they with some difficulty dispersed the crowd, giving as the ground of their ac- ton that the people were impeding traf- nc. A little later the crowd reassembled and again the police dispersed it. but this

ChestnutS.

the Apprentices there are three
ways of preparing fresh chestnuts-
ballotti (the boiled), arrostite (the
roasted) and tegliate. The nuts are
first shelled, then boiled with a lot OF
caraway seeds to give them favor, the
consequence being the chestnut flavor
is wanting. But il 1 want to eat a

thoroughly dried-and it takes some
weeks of piling on of wood at the
metato to accomplish this-they are
ground at mill, and the flour sup
plies the main food for the poor
peasantry all winter. Necci are
simply fat cakes made of this flour
mixed with water, no salt; it is dear
in Italy, the tax being heavy, and
baked between fat stones, with
chestnut leaves next the cakes to
prevent their sticking to the stone.
These leaves, gathered by thousands
fresh from the trees in September,
are soaked before using. 1t gives the

THE SUGAR MAPLE.

One of our common trees is the
sugar maple, Acer saccharinum, L.,
tree grower with foliage of lively
green. In summer it makes one Of
our choicest shade trees, and it is
extensively used for that purpose.
Autumn, however, is the time of the
year when this tree is seen to it's
best advantage, as the beautiful,
tender greens of summer pass into
varied shades of purple, yellow and
scarlet. The maple syrup and maple
sugar of commerce IRE made from
the sap of this tree, and they have
o flavor peculiarly their own, and
which gives them rank as delicacies.
The maple is used to some extent
as framing timber in the construc-
tion of barns and such like, more
because of its abundance than of its
durability, as it lacks in this quality
compared with some other woods.
In cabinet work it is largely en-
ployed, for it admits of o high silIen
polish, and the grain of some varieties
is very .handsome.-[Detroit Free

A Singular French Timepiece.

The latest among these curious time.
pieces is constructed as follows: a
sunhower of silver protrudes from
white crystal vase, graceful in shape
and soberly decorated. The stalk Is
of brown gilt, the leaves green, the
petals yellow, and the heart of the
flower oxidized. Hour and minute
marks are engraved around the heart
of this sunfower, which faces the
looker.on. A lady-bird of spotted red
enameled gold apparently rests on the
flower, on the line dividing the heart
from the petals. This pretty insect,
which moves imperceptibly by means
of q mechanism hidden within the
flower, shows the time. By only close
inspection can one detect the time di-
visions on this original dial, which is
grsuulated all over and is bluish-
black. AS to the hollow circular line
on which the lady-bird travels, it Is
completely invisible. e.-Jewelers' Cir

Submarine Torpedo.

Seymour Allan, resident of sgd
ney, has invented submarine torpedo
boat, which, he claims, is capable OF
sinking to any depth, and of travelling
rapidly. under water without revealing
its presence. A working model OF the
boat was tried in the public baths at
Sydney, New South Wales, in the
presence of the Earl of Hopetoun, the
governor, the naval commandant, and
q number of naval and military officers.
The experiments were a complete sue
cess, the model rising, sinking, turn
ing, reversing, or remaining stationary
in obedience to the electric current by
which it is worked. The inventor
claims that full-sized boat would be
capable of remaining under water for
three days. 1t would carry torpedoes
on the bow and stern decks. .-Scien-

QUEEN OF KoREA.'
Timely Pen Portrait of the Korean
KINGS Wife.

The Queen of Korea is now forty
four wears of age, being just one year
older than her husband. She IS Oh
medium height, and her form is
slender and straight. Her manner
is pleasing, and she is always de.
scribed as "every inch q Queer"
She is by no means bad looking. Her
face is long, and every line of her
features beams with intelligence and
yiyicity. She has high forehead,
long, slender, aristocratic nose, and
her mouth and chin indicate determ-
ination and character. Her cheek
bones are high, her ears are small,
and her complexion is the color OF
rich Jersey cream. Her eyebrows
are after the approved style OF
Korean beauty, the hair having been
pulled out SO that they form an
arched thread of black over her eyes.
These are almond in shape, and they
fairly snap with life. They are keen,
business-like eyes, and they see
everything, being intellectual rather
than soulful. The Queens hair is
| let black. tits parted in the mid
die, is combed perfectly smooth away
from the forehead and brought down
over the ears, and rolled in low coil
which rests on the nape of her neck.
Here it is fastened with hairpins Of
gold or of silver, each a foot long
and as big around as your finger,
The Queen has a good mouth, full OF
well-formed, large teeth; and when
she laughs, which is quite often, she
shows the upper ones.
The queen has large wardrobe,
the dresses OF which she changes
frequently. During her mourning
for the queen dowager she was dress
ed for weeks in o white silk gauze,
which is the color for mourning in
Korea. She is not fond of jewelry.
Her hands, which are long, thin,
and shapely, never sparkle with dia-
lnonds; her only rings are heavy gold
bands, and she always wears these
in pairs, two rings on one finger
She wears neither bracelets nor neck
laces, and her clothing is more like
that of II retiring woman of the West
than that of the queen of the most
gorgeous Oriental court OF the world.
Her feet are clad in Korean shoes OF
the softest of skins, finely embroid-
cred, and more like slippers than
shoes. She carries diamond-studded
American watch and, as is the GUS
tom among Korean women, she is by
no means averse to a smoke. She
does not, however, affect the long
stemmed Korean pipe with it's bowl
of silver or brass, but prefers a
cigarette; and I was told at Seoul
that she orders her cigarettes from
the United States, and smokes them
quite freely -[Demorest's Magazine.

of the country which has developed in
the last ninety years he is by no means
go conspicuously before the public as
in the older cities and States that
knew him personally and were hop
ored by his presence. In these older
localities his efigies abound and his

Washington revival will be welcome
and salutary whenever it comes, and
if it brings new crop of monuments
with it, SO much the better. Mean
while it is interesting to note that
controversy has lately been raging at
great length in the London Times
about Washington's pedigree. There
is no doubt that he derived from the
Washingtons OF Sulgrave, and came OF
an English family "never powerful or
distinguished, but undoubtedly an
cient." The Times says that the
Herald's Visitations came to an end in
England in the first quarter OF the
seventeenth century, while few parish
registers are older than the reign
of james IL, and that it is In the
period between the two systems ol
records Ia period of emisrations and
much disquiet) that is is difficult tc
trace the Washington line. It seems
to have been done at last with results
which, though"not especially interest
ing, seem to be accurate and satisfac
tory to the genealogists. No Wash
ineton has been discovered from whom
our George would have been likely t'
have inherited his uncommon quail
ties, but his sitle is clear enough te
any advantage that may insure to al
ascertained derivation from Engllsl
ancestors, who, though not noblemen
were gentlemen, and whose sole it'll
to fame rests upon the distinction o
their descendant.
