TALES OF TIE TIMES.

An American millionaire. accustomed to

tain from an Oxford gardener the secret

pride of England "Tcll me. my good man

ingly. putting his hand Significantly into

as ever you can cut. and you rolls it and
cuts it for 900 years.
Sir Henry Irving once entered Il train
at Kings Cross. London. After putting
his traveling-bag on the rail he found that
four passengers already occupied the cor
ners of the coach and had appropriated
the rest Of the seats for their portman-
teaus. As no one moved. Sir Henry con-
tinued to stand, holding on to the hat
rail. After a while one of the passengers
sulkily began to move his luggage from
the seat, seeing which SIR Henry remarked
In his blandest tone: "Oh, please don't let
me disturb you. I'm getting out at Scot

The Populist Advance.

J ST.. LOUIS, July 1S.-Among the
arrivals today was Gov. Stone, Of
Missouri. He came in response to
q telegram from some populists
who are in favor of the nomina-
ton or endorsement Of Bryan and
is to do missionary work among
the "middle of the road" contin.
gencies. The latter are to hold a
mass meeting at the Lindell hotel
Sunday to start movement
against Bryan and Governor Stone
and other friends OF the democratic
candidate will try to neutIalize
the efforts of the opposition.
The middle of the road men
want the temporary chairman, but
are divided on the man. One set
favors "Cyclone" Davis, the other
Senator Butler, of North Carolina.
The result will doubtless be that
the national committee will take
up the question irrespective OF the
recommendations and appoint q
man Of their own selection. Ar
rivals Of populists thus far are
few. Some came in from Missis-
sippi this morning and they say
they are opposed to Bryan.

arc scattered about on the turf at the

take great pleasure in buying the eggs

John Karel, United States consul gen.

state department with a detailed report
on the grain crop of European Russia.
With the report comes synopsis as
follows:
"At present the grain trade is in that
quiet state which generally character

first of summer, when probable calcula-
tions and suppositions about the guam
tity and quality of the coming grain
harvests are made. In view of the in
terest which information concerning
the condition of the growing grain OK
cites, I have watched the results as coll
lected and reported up to the 1st of
June, 1896, throughout European Rus
STA by reliable correspondents of the
commercial class. In general these re-
ports show that the apprehensions of
the agriculturalists of many localities
that, owing to the lateness of spring and
the cold weather during the first vegeta-
tive period, the grain would suffer to
great extent, has not been realized.
There are only the region of the Azov
sea from the districts of Melitopol and
Berdiansk up to Fisk and in the lower
Don and northern Caucasus, some of the
Baltic governments and some portions
Of the central Chernoziom region in
which the winter grain does not look
satisfactory. In all the remaining ag-
ricultural governments and districts of
European Russia the winter grain is in
satisfactory condition; in fact, owing
to the favorable weather in May the con-
dition Of the grain may be called good or
above middling in all the principal grain
regions in the whole of the volga basin,
in the central Chernoziom region, in the
southern Steppes and In the western
and southwestern governments. The

WHEN WIDOWS WE'D.
What They Must Do and Wear to BE Per
fectly Up-to-D Date.


Etiquette governing the wedding of
widow has been recently reorganized,
and, temporarily at least, is. finding
high vogue among certain great ladies
who are making second matrimonial
ventures. The acknowledgements
ring is now a peridot, which in reality
is an Indian chrysolite and a deep leaf
green in color. The peridot ring is set
about with diamonds; and when it
arrives the lady gives her first engage
ment-ring to her eldest daughter, and
her wedding-ring to her eldest son.
One week before the wedding a state
~ luncheon is given to the nearest and
dearest of the old friends of the bride
to-be. After the engagements an
nuoncement she appears at no public
functions. AT the altar her dress may
be of any subdued shade of satin. To

orange-blossoms, profusions of white
lace trim Ties and waist Of the
bridal gown en- secondes noces. Even
the bonnet is of white lace. and the
bouquet is preferably of white orchids;
and up the aisle the lady goes, hand in
hand with her youngest child, no mat
ter whether it is a boy or girl. The
little one wears an elaborate white CO.'S
tune, holds the brides bouquet, and
precedes the newly married pair to the
church door. Where there is a largs
family of children and desire on tho
widows part for trife more display
than is usually accorded on such oc-
casions, all of her daughters, in light
gowns and bearing big bouquets, sup
port their mother at the altar.

is scarcely more than a light, simple
luncheon, served from the buffet,
wound up by wedding cake and toast

Tree Climbing Rabbits.

The London Field has an item that is
likely to call out discussion among
English correspondents of that paper. A
man writes that when shooting with a
friend in Banffshire last December my
friend called out, "There's rabbit up
tree!' Sure enough one was there at
least ten feet from the ground. The tree
was all upright fir, and the man had
seen the rabbit run up the smooth bark
as easily as a squirrel. The rabbit STOP

have been a dizzy height for an animal
of such ground habits.
Corroborative letters will probably
come in, and rabbits will have all es-
tablished reputation as climbers. 1t is
said that in Australia the imported rab-
bits have begun to develop hooked
claws, with the aid Of which they are
able to climb the rabbit proof fences.

Gently, Il used to go mp to the bat with
the sole object in view Of hitting the
ball from the shoulder as hard as
could, without any idea as to what part
Of the field it would go or on the
ground or in the air. All I thought of
was to knock it out of the lot, as the
boys say. But I soon found that there
was something more in batting than
that. I think I got my first idea of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket in cricket when we went to
England on that baseball tour in 1874.
At any rate, got into the habit Of try
ing to place the ball, instead of hitting
at random, and from that time real
lied that to try to tap the ball to right
field over the heads CT the infelders
and short of the catching reach of the
outfielders was about the right caper
1.-THE new method of handling the
bat, I remember, came to me ell CT a
sudden. I had been for some months
batting very poorly while hitting from
the shoulder, a base hit being the result
in about eight of ten times at the bat,
and even less. One day thought I
would try something different, and, get
ting some one to pitch swift balls to- me,
1 went in for tapping them to right field
SO that they would fall safe and after a
few trials up went my batting average
OF base hits at a jump, and especially
did my hitting prove useful when run
ners were on the bases The boys be-
gan to want me to fo''ow them at the
bat, because I hit SO as to bat them
round toward home Then it was that
I first practically realized that swift
ly pitched ball to the bat which was
just tapped by the bat-that is, hit
lightly, but not like Ebunt'-would go
to the field, sharp from the bat, with
surprising speed besides which, could
govern its direction better than it was
possible in hitting it from the shoulder,
as before.
Talking of swift pitching,' contin-
ued MIR. Spalding, "Iused to think that
we old time pitchers could send in a
pretty speedy ball under the rule Of the
underhand throw, but none of US ever
equaled the speed Of the cyclone pitch
ing of the present time which comes
from the regular overland throw. Then,
too, with all our practice, we could not
command the ball in delivery, as is pos
sible in overland throwing. New
