A ROYAL LOVE AFFAIR.
How the German Emperor Lost the
Girl He wanted.

New York Sun: When the present
emperor of Germany was at the most
susceptible point in his career he fell
in love. and it was characteristic of
the young man that he. fell wildly and
desperately, choosing for the object of
his alteration the beautiful elder sister
of the czarina who is now the Grand
Duchess Serge of Russia.
OF course this was all very fine and
romantic, but state policy came before
hearts, and as there would be nothing
to gain by marrying the heir of the
German throne to a princess of Hesse
Darmstadt, Prince Bismarck told En-
peror William il wouldn't do at all.
The old emperor. of course, broke the
news 70. his Srandson. who .stormed
and sulked, finally promised obedience,
and when asked TO look about and Sc
lect some other nice young princess,
broke out with: ISIS
Choose whom Won like; it is abso-
lutely the same to me. so long as it is
not one of the English lot.
OF course this was just what the iron
chancellor wanted. and to heal the
long standing breach between the Hol-
steiners and the ,Prussians, he proposed
for the Princess Augustus hand and
Prince William went awooing. Natur
ally, he did not find in his prospective
bride any such rare beauty and accom-
plishments as his Hessian cousin pos
sessed, but at-any ratespe did meet an
amazingly robiist sensible young wom-
an, with the freshest pink and white
skin. nice blue eyes. far hair and an
amiable temper.

The Profes,ionnI Expert.

The professional mining expert, says
the Western Mining World, is often
unjustly and numerically assailed by
the people who cannot be made to be-
lieve that there is any such thing as
scientific mining. The grizzled, hoary
prospector of the old school still refuses
to be guided by the conclusions of those
who rely to an extent upon books and
college professors. Sometimes the pros
pector is right, and then again he is
wrong; it altogether depends On
whether the expert knows his business.
But whether right or wrong, the senti-
ments of many of the old prospectors
are expressed III the following lines:

How James Otis Was Killed.

James Otis was killed by a stroke Of
lightning in Andover, Mass, at the old
Isaac Osgood farm, May, 1888. Mr..
Otis wanted mug of cider. The hired
man went into the cellar to draw the
cider, leaving the cellar door open. Mr..
Otis was standing in the doorway at the
side of the house looking at the clouds,
remarking that heavy shower was
coming up. Scarcely had the words been
spoken when the bolt came down, struck
Mr.. Otis and killed him instantly, then
passed into large beam in the cellar
way, going the length of the beam to
the cellar, where it went off into the
ground. The hole in the beam was large
enough to thrust ones arm down, as
the writer has done when visiting the
Osgood farm. Boston Transcript.

The Man and the Clothes.

There was Methodist minister who
dressed so we'll that a friend felt hor-
rified and offered to give him suit of
clothes and pay for them provided he
could have them made according to his
ideas. The offer was accepted, and the
tailor was ordered to make suit in the
plainest possible fashion. The order was
filled, and the suit was tried on. The
giver of it was amazed. So magnificent
was the form with which nature had en-
dowed the minister that that plain
Methodist suit upon him looked as if it
had just been received from Paris. -

snrending Manure In Winter.

A great many farmers hesitate to draw
manure and spread it on their fields as
made because they fear that what is
thus spread in fall and winter will be
washed away by spring floods. Follow
ing are some statements ON the subject
made by American Cultivator:
There is really no danger of this. ex-
cept to land subject to overflow. The
heaviest rains soak through the manure
into the soil beneath. Very rarely, if
ever, does this water thus manure soak
ed reach even to foot beyond where
the clod Of manure lies. As matter of
fact, unfermented manure has little fer
tility that is in soluble form. There is
reason for farmers to delay drawing
away their manure piles if they are
waiting for them to ferment. This fer
mented manure has plant food immedi-
ately available. When it is put on grass
land in winter, it shows with the first
warm days Of spring in the brighter
green of the grass to which it is applied.
In winters when there is very heavy
snowfall the application of fermented
manure late in fall will start new
growth under the snowbanks.

Snrinr md flaII Flowing.

1t is noted thaO in Nebraska the
amount of fall plowing that has been
done this season is much less than usu-
al. In commenting on the foregoing
the Iowa Homestead says:
Under some circumstances there is
advantage in fall plowing, while under
others the advantage may be the other
way. In large percentage of instances
the question of spring and fall plowing
is one of convenience. When fall plow-
ing is omitted, it always means more
work in the spring and usually, too,
with animals less fit for the work after
a winter Of comparative idleness. Con
siderably less wheat has been sown in
Nebraska this fall than is customary,
and in this Nebraska isnOt alone. From
present appearances the area to winter
wheat has suffered substantial diminu-
tion in nearly every section where the
crop is grown.

Irrigation In Winter.

Thorough irrigation in winter is the
main thing for our western Kansas and
eastern Colorado prairies, and it will
doubtless prove good practice in many
sections where spring and summer
droughts are common. Have the ground
wet down five or six feet, so it will
freeze as deep as possible, and if it is
thoroughly wet you will be surprised
how deep the frost will penetrate. If
this land is plowed when in the proper
condition, you will not find a clod nor
have to use roller or float and but
very little water during the following
season. Your crops will stand any
amount of dry winds and will be dou-
bly, productive in comparison to your
neighbours who depends entirely on
summer irrigation.
Thus writes a farmer from Sherman
county, Kan, to The American Agri-
culturist. He also tells that last season
he raised melons, beets, tomatoes, peas
and corn entirely from winter irriga-
tion. They had no rain or irrigation
whatever after May 3.

heat, which is partly given up to the
water, to be given out by that in turn,
and partly diffused throughout the box.
The evaporation of the water will keep
the air moist-a condition essential TO
plant growth. A sufficient body Of water
should be used so that steam may not
be generated.
A little practice will show just how
much flame must be kept upon the lamp
to keep the temperature warm at night
On sunny days, of course, the lamp need
not be lighted, while ON extra cold
nights something in the shape Of mats
may be needed to throw over the glass.
A small door in the side or end admits
the lamp. A very small opening should
be made at the bottom for air to enter
to feed the lamp, which another may be
provided near the top for ventilation,
the latter being closed on very cold
nights.
The same idea can be utilized in a
smaller way in the kitchen, where a
box with the interior arrangement that
has been described may be set before the
kitchen window without sash for a
cover-a wooden cover being provided,
to be closed only at night to keep in the
heat from the lamp. This can of course
be blown out when the kitchen fire is
lighted. A hand lamp will furnish heat
enough for this purpose. Where this ar
rangement is to be used in house care
should be taken to burn only the best Of
oil and to see that the heat is never high
enough to cause any danger whatever
from fire.

The Maple Sugar Industry.

The production Of maple sugar has de-
creased noticeably. According to the
last census, "a states made returns, but
the total yield was only $4,000, 900
pounds, against SO, 800, 900 pounds ten
years earlier. Vermont leads with some
thing over 100000 pounds; New
York follows with 100000 IOunds
annually. New Hampshire turrs out
2,000, 900 pounds per year. Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio and Michigan, formerly i'm
portant producers, show a rapid de-
crease in production, and the same in
true of the states Of Indiana, Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
