PRINCETON.

An Interesting Sketch of the Interesting
County Seat of Mile Laos County.
This is a very pretty, thriving little
county. The streets are wide and in
the residence part we'll shaded, there
are many pleasant and cosy-looking
homes, with liberal grounds, and the
number of substantial business build
ings is unusual in a place of that size.
| Among its other Industries is starch
factory, which will begin operations
for the season on the 18th. Although
it does not pay very large dividends
:. to the stockholders, it is a good thing
for: the town and for the farmers.
rPotatoes are ''specialty'' so to speak
in Mile Laos county, and the crop this
year is enormous. One farmer. near
Princeton has two hundred and fifty
acres in potatoes this year, with an
average yield of 200 bushels to the
acre. The price there now is only
thirteen cents, but farmer estimates
that even this pays better than wheat
at twenty bushels to the acre and fifty
cents a bushel.
The Mile Laos county fair is in full
blast, with a very creditable show of
stock and vegetables, with the usual
variety of agricultural boss trots.''
The annual term of the district court
is now in session, with Judge Searle
presiding. The calendar is heavy with

A MILLIONAIRE'S WORK,
The Mammoth Baths Constructed b,
AdoIph Sutro.

The Mammoth Baths Constructed by
AdoIph Sutro.
The most wonderful baths in the
world are those built by Adolph Sutro,
in San Francisco. The great cliffs have
been tunneled, that the water of the
Pacific may flow through a succession
of canals into the reservoir where it is
warmed; and thence into the enormous
tanks. The baths are more than twice
as large as the largest of the famous
old Roman baths, and Mr.. Sutro has
tried to make them as beautiful.
Twenty thousand people can sit, stand,
or promenade about the tanks, which
are arranged for every possible set of
bathers
There are cold baths and hot baths,
swimming and diving baths, baths for
children and beginners. The largest
tank is two hundred and seventy-fve
feet long and one hundred and fifty feet
wide. There is even a fresh-water
tank, supplied from the waterworks
above.
The place is full of beauty and color,
with tropical plants and rows of grow
ing palms; while through the glass
sidewalks, the ocean view stretches.
The building is of steel and glass, and
its glazed roof spans more than two
acres. Tier after tier of rooms for the
bathers rise, until they are numbered
by many hundreds.
A great stage, fifty feet broad, is
placed at the ocean end of the tank
room for an orchestra. The building
is furnished with electric lights and ell
evators throughout. Three restaurants
provide refreshment, and an aquarium
and conservatory add to the beauty and
interest. The Cliff rocks outside are
covered with seals, summing themselves,
and the finest baths in the world have
perhaps the most beautiful setting.

ing for their shawls Its head is in the
shape Of spoon. In fact, it is spoon
and shawl-pin in one.
1t is odd, the Frenchman says, too
see a woman pull out the pin, letting
her shawl drop from her bare should
ers, and proceed to use it for eating her
soup Or porridge. After the repast she
passes the bowl of the spoon carefully
between her lips two or three times,
gathers up her shawl, and fastens it in
place.
The same women use their slippers
instead of pocketbooks-a point in
which they may be said to have the ad-
vantage of their North American sis
tiers, who, having no pockets, or none
within comfortable reach, are COM
PEELED to carry their purses in their
hands.
The money of Lima consists of bank
notes, which go very well into the bot
tom of slipper. AS to the effect upon
the bills, perhaps the least said the bet
ter. There is an old saying that money
always smells sweet.

Pretenders to European Thrones.

Among the many pretenders who
congratulated the new emperor of
Russia on his ascending the throne
were the ex-king of Naples. who lays
claim to the throne of Italy; the duke
of Parma, now a grandfather, and who
was deprived of his sovereignty at the
early age of five; the former grand
duke of Tuscany, the duke of Cumber-
land, who claims the sovereignty of
the duchy of Brunswick; the various
princes Karageorgevicz, each of whom
claims to be the de jure king of Servia,
Prince Couza, who has pretensions to
the crown of Roumania; Don Miguel, of
Braganza, the legitimist pretender to
throne of Portugal; Prince Victor Ma
poleon, the duke of Orleans, the sol
disant duke of Normandy, and Gen.
Francis de Bourbon, self-styled duke
of Anjou, each signing himself as
sovereign de jure of France, while
from SPANS pretenders there were.

THE MlDDLE-AGED MAN.
He Buys Two Cents Worth of Cocoanut
Cakes and Renews His Youth.

"When l was a boy" said middle
aged New Yorker the other day, ac-
cording to the Sun, II used to be very
fond of cocoanut cakes, as they were
called, small disks of candied cocoanut,
which cost one cent each. They We're
colored white and red, and fnally they
got some chocolate colored, and it
seems to me they had some other
colors. If [ had only one, cent bought
usually a white one, though some
times l took a red one; if l had two
cents l bought a red and white, to have
a variety. l have seen the time when l
had three cents, and bought all three
colors at once.
81 had not bought any cocoanut
cakes for l don't know how many
years, though had seen them along
year after year, particularly in sum
mer, when the dust blows and the
white ones get all covered with dirt;
but the other day 1 bought two of the
new-fashioned kind, that seems Just
now to be having a run; you see them
on all the push carts. The new cocoa
nut cakes are all one color, sort of
molasses color; and they are not round
and fiat like the old ones, but thick
and bunchier, like little broken-off
masses Of the prepared cocoanut.
81 found them very good. They
differ somewhat from the old-fashioned
cocoanut cake in taste and texture, as
well as in build and color; the old
cocoanut cake, while not brittle, ex-
actly, was what you might call
crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quick
ly in the mouth; while the contem-
poraneous cocoanut cake, after you get
below the light frostwork of its exte-
rior, has decidedly more consistence; it
is what the modern child calls chevy;
but the cocoanut taste is there all right,
and as 1 eat them they carry me back
to the days of my youth"

ing the reign of Emperor Lau Pey, con-
quered the various tribes then inhabit-
ing the country, and welded them into
one great Chinese empire, called the
Middle Flowery Kingdom. 1t was
not until eight hundred years after
his death, however, that he be-
came god. The occasion of his canon
ization is said to have been the drying
up of the salt wells in the province of
Shan ST, a calamity that caused wide
spread misery. The emperor and his
ministers are said to have prepared
written prayers, which were burned
and conveyed to Heaven in the smoke.
An hour had scarcely elapsed when, as
the legend says, Kwan Kung, riding
his red charger, appeared in the mid
heaven, and informed his majesty that
his petitions could not be granted till a
temple was erected to his honor No
time was lost; hundreds of masons were
set to work, and when the top stone
was set in its place the wells once more
yielded their supplies.
1t is said that during the rebellion Of
1855 the hero appeared to the com
mander in chief of the imperial forces,
directing the plan for the campaign
and assisting in the battle that led to
the overthrow of the rebels at Marking
Grateful for this interposition, the en-
peror, Hen Tung, placed him on the
same rank with Confucius in the ma
Gonal pantheon, and Kwan Kung was
henceforth known as the god OF war,
whose full apotheosis title is the Faith
full, Brave and All Compassionate
Prince Kwan Kung, the god of war.

THEY APPEAL TO THE PRESS.
Military Prisoners Denounce the Dealin,
of Military Authorities.

Fort Riley. Kan, July 9.-(SpeciaD-
do military authorities mete out JUS
tice to an enlisted man."
This question has been agitated
amongst the rank and file of the army
for time indefinite and the verdict has
universally been in the negative, rare
cases to the contrary. If this mooted
question had no other argument than
the experience of the part. the state of
affairs existing at the post general
house at the present time would but
serve to strengthen such a conviction.
Previous to the transfer of the mill
tary prison at Fort Leavenworth to
the civic authorities, a general sense
of satisfaction was felt throughout the
army that this plan Of horrors was to
be thing of the past; that the power
Of military courts in dealing out JUS
tice(D would be curtailed as to the
length Of time to be served by those
sentenced.
Soon after scores of men confined at
this prison were being daily released
by order committing the unserved por-
ton of their sentence. With what sus-
pense, what anxiety those remaining
awaited the day when they, too, could
go forth amongst men and breathe the
sweet air of freedom.

it is the first irrigation enterprise that
