A HEADLESS POLICY.

placed in this class.
A HEADLESS POLICY.
In the fall of 1894, at the time of his
fathers death, this interesting young
man gave vent to this expression,
which clearly explained his future
course in relation to the French throne:
exile killed my father. 1
will endure anything rather than in
action. / will risk my head to return to
France, and if I am fortunate to reign,
1 will risk my head rather than be driv-
en- out"
According to this the young man who
says by "divine right" he is entitled to
lord 1t over the whole of France seems
to care very little for his head. But as
yet France has not deemed 1t of enough
Importance to deprive him of 1t. The
time may come, however, when his reck-
lessness will be put to the test.
There is little doubt that If anything
like a favorable opportunity presents
itself the duke of Orleans will make an
effort to mount the throne of France.
He is thoughtless and reckless enough
to do it. His whole life has been given
up to this idea, and with poor advisers
at his back he could be induced to at
tempt any foolishness. He is but u
wears old but talks as if he possessed
the wisdom of a patriarch. In some
things he Is not unlike Emperor Will
lam of Germany, and If placed in a po-
sition of power he could be counted
upon doing things in a manner equally
eccentric.
He has an income Of 100000 year,
and most of it has been spent since his
fathers death in substituting purchas-
able newspapers in France to keeI
alive the royalist agitation. Nearly all
these papers are those which circulate
in the rural districts. and they are
chosen with the purpose of tanning into
| flame the peasant. When the time
| comes for the duke to make his attempt
| he hopes to have at his back vast
army of the peasantry of France. as
we'll as all the aristocrats of the ole
regime.
WORK OF THE ROYALISTS.
The duke has hundreds of aristocratit
agents constantly at work in his be
half in France. Nearly every man an(
woman of the nobility longs for re
newal of the time when their titles will
| count for something and not the empt!
honors they are today. For many year.
the officials of the republic regarded
these noblemen with suspicion, but o
late they have relaxed all vigilance,
the time of danger was regarded a
past when the count of Paris died. Blu
the royalists clique is as strong toda,
as ever. 1t has never given up hope
and the present is regarded as the mos
suspicious for the cause of the Bour
| hons since 1871 when the empire of Ma
poleon III. went down with crash.
A MAKE-BELIEVE COURT.
Since his fathers death the youn
duke has lived in London, where h
maintains a house almost on kingl
scale. He keeps up an absurd show G
court life and is surrounded by nun
Der of impoverished French aristocrat
who bow and scrape to him as II he wer
really their king.
In this he differs from his father. VIII

WHEAT FOR GROWING CHICKENS
Occasionally Give Them Oats and
Barley as n Diet.


Barley as n Diet.
There is nothing better than whole
wheat for growing chickens and have
frequently fed it to them exclusively
from the time they were Matched until
nearly ready to lay, says a writer in the
Farm and Home. After chicks are two
months old, feed principally wheat. oc-
casionally oats and barley, but never
corn. OF course this applies to chicks
raised with hens having unlimited run.
About September Is the pullets should
be sorted and put in winter quarters,
putting only those of like weight and
build together. 1 have found that f1ocks
of 16, including a rooster. will give the
best results. I use double henroosts,
each IS feet by Is feet, divided in the
center and is fowls in each side with
two yards each 40 feet by rs feet. get
the yards down in good grass before
the fowls are introduced and by a
little care the grass can be kept grow
ing all the time, thus the yards are al
ways clean and sweet.
If the fowls are all kept together with
unlimited run, then the house should
be at least 40 by 60 feet for 100 birds
and 100 is all a farmer should try tc
keep unless the houses are from 800 tc
500 feet apart. Do not expect the best
results with more than Is, fowls in g
flock and yarded birds will lay more
eggs than when 100 or more all run
together, providing good care and feet
are given. All the old fowls should bt
sold off as they stop laying and jus
before they mott, for melting will re

JosEPH1NEs DRESS BILLS.

French antiquarian has recently
brought to light some interesting dress
makers bills of Napoleon's time. They
are from the account books of Leroy, the
worth of his time. 1t appears that JOS
ephine's yearly bill was about $4,000 and
this was a greater amount than Marie
Louise or Queen Hortense dared or de-
sired to spend. Napoleon's mother was
not a patron of Leroy, which is explained
by the fact that she preferred to receive
her dresses from her daughters rather
than purchase them herself.

SILVER TRINKETs FOR HER.

Forget-me-nots and good luck horse
shoes and such like simple things are
not even spoken of this season.
Everything is literary, historic and
symbolic.
Some OF the new garter clasps are
much. too pretty to hide away under
muslin frills a notable set, which
marks the literary craze, clasps and
joins Napoleon to Josephine.
For women, silver .trappings extend
to infinity. One Of the newest things,
perhaps. is the tiny silver shoestring
clasp. IL is exactly like the plebeian
blackened tin thing that costs nickel
a pair, but it is finest filigree and scroll
work design, and has place on the
under side for your name.
A woman who saw the wedding gifts
of the duchess of Marlborough told a
reporter that a pair of garter buckles
in the collection came from an intimate
girl friend who has much artistic gen
ius. She did the dukes features on
two ivory discs and set each one
around with fine opals and brilliants
and attached the baubles to gorgeous
yellow garters.

as solid as knowledge and fact. Then
the poor delinquent of our vague imag-
lining explains with tears or disdain--
holly or calmly, as the case may be;
and we have to eat our leek of wrath
and the humble pie of contrition as the

SURGERY WITHOUT PAIN.
Important Operations Done While the
Patient Is Fully Conscious.

The meeting of the Philadelphia
County Medical society last evening
was rendered particularly interesting
on account OF the presentation of
paper by DR.. T. Parvin on the new
method OF abolishing the pain OF surg
ical operations without the necessity
of employing ether or chloroform, says
the Philadelphia Record This is the
system suggested and practised by the
well known German surgeon, Schleich,
who, by its use, has been able to per-
form practically all OF the minor and
many of the major operations OF surg
cry without the slightest pain to the
patient and without depriving him in
any way of his consciousness.
By the method OF Schleich there are
prepared three solutions of common
salt, in which are dissolved different
quantities of muriate of eoaine and
mCrphia. The part to be operated upon
is thoroughly cleansed with an anti
septic solution and the surface brought
to low temperature by spray of
chloride of ethyl. Into this area of the
skin, which, by the action of the spray,
has been deprived of all sensation, the
salt solution containing the cocaine
and morphine is injected by means OF
special hypodermic syringe, numerous
pCnctures being made in all directions.
This renders the deeper structures in
sensible to tn surgeon S knife, and for
period of from 20 minutes to half an
hour the patient is not conscious, so
far as actual pain is concerned, of ex-
tensive cutting and sewing.
The new method differs in an impor-
tant degree from the ordinary employ
ment of hypodermic injections of CO.
caine. The strength of the drug which
has been used in the past is about one
part in each 20 parts of the solution,
while in the Schleich method there is
often employed a strength of only one
in 10000. In the former, however,
only few drops of the solution are
employed while in the latter the It's
sues surrounding the part to be oper-
ated upon are thoroughly intiltrated
with the solution. With the small
quantity of the cocaine employed by
DR.. Schleich, it is apparent that some
thing more than cocaine is responsible
for the local anaesthesia so perfectly
obtained. In the opinion of Doctors
Keene Ashhurst and Morton, who dis
cussed the merits of the new system,
the infiltration Of the tissues with the
solution and the distension and conse-
quent pressure upon the small nerves
were responsible in large measure
for the absence of pain when the incl
sion by the knife is made
To indicate the manner of employing
the method of Schleich. and to show
the entire absence of pain, one of the
surgeons had the solution inserted be-
meath the skin of the arm and an in
cision an inch long made and sewed up
before the society last evening.
In the discussion It was generally
conceded, both from the results
achieved by the German surgeon and
the experiments made in a number of
cases in this city, that a decided adj
vance had been made in the field Of
araesthetics, and that for large num-
Der of operations the infltration
method would entirely supersede the
general anaesthesia by ether and
chloroform
