Merry Princess Maud.

Princess Maud, of Wales, is briinf ul
of fun, and occasionally her disposition
to look upon "the funny side of things
has got her into trouble with her par
ents, says the London MALL" Once
she nearly upset solemn ceremonial
in South London by her risible ten
dency. A well-known divine was
preaching a sermon, when suddenly,
owing TO the pages of his manuscript
having got mixed, he uttered some
very incongruous remarks. Princess
Maud grasped the situation at once ard
hid her face in her handkerchief, but
the convulsive shaking of her should
ers was not due to sympathy with the
unfortunate predicant, and, unluckily,
Princess Victoria caught the infection.
Another time, when the royal agri-
cultural show was held at Windsor, the
Prince and Princess of Wales and their
children took the opportunity after
service on Sunday morning to quietly
inspect the live stock. Presently they
arrived at a stall labeled Dangerous. !"
In il was black bull, which they had
scarcely approached when there was
shrek, and the royalties scattered in
all directions. The cause was soon
clear. Princess Maud had slyly
'stirred up" the animal with heI
parasol.

Artificial Sunrise.

Dairyman Wilder, whose milk-pro-
ducing establishment is about ten
miles north of Santa Cruz, is one of the
most ingenious men in all California,
and has done what no other dairyman
ever attempted. Everybody that has
ever tried to milk COW before day
light knows what a job it is. Bossy is
generally of the opinion that there is a
time for all things, and firmly objects
To Being awakened and milked when
she thinks she should be asleep. Many
cows will refuse to be MIXED to the ex-
tent of kicking and lying down.
All of these troubles have been Dairy
man Wilder's, and not long ago he de-
teTmined 10 overcome them. In fact,
it was necessary that he should, as he
was often late in getting milk to his
customers in Santa Cruz. 1t cost con-
siderable money, but he has more than
made up for the outlay. At present he
has one of the finest individual electric
light plants in the State, and his cows
are as easy to milk as in broad day
light.
When the electric plant was in posi-
ton and ready for work there were
three big arc lights over the centre OF
the yard where the cows slept at night,
and dozens of others fixed all over the
different buildings, the entire lot capa-
ble of producing about ten thousand
candle-power-enough to make the
yard as bright as day. The plant wa:
of the best quality, and everything
was tried in the daytime before the
surprise was sprung on the cows
1t worked like charm. The bright
rays OF the light had no sooner beer
turned on than the cows commenced tC
get up. Most of them looked surprised
to see the day break so soon, but wher
the milkman arrived with his pail they
seemed to think it was all right, anC
stopd perfectly still while being mil&ed
The light also affected the poultry, fo
the cocks commenced to crow, and th'
hens went around hunting for nests
Ducks, geese, dogs and cats were al
affected the same way, and the who'll
barnyard was awake at 2 O'Clock in tn
morning.
IL has not proved case of the ami
mails getting used to il, for they behav
the same way now after the artifiea
sunrise has been in operation TO
several months. Poor beasts, they ar

Property"

Years ago in New Hampshire there
were three commissioners appointed to
examine candidates for admission to
the bar. At one time the commission
ers were jeremiah Mason, the sblest
lawyer in the state, Mr.. Sullivan and
another member of the bar. OF GER
tain candidate who presented himself
for examination, Mr.. Willard tells this
story in his book, ''Half a Century with
Judges and Lawyers ~
He was an awkward young man, and
the commissioners proceeded to ex-
anime him thus:
"What is property?"
The candidate described il.
"How is it acquired ~
'In various ways"
illustrate"
"Mr. Mason gets his by high fees
Mr.. Sullivan by usury, and Mr."
''Stop, stop exclaimed Mason al

An Uncooked Egg Will Not Spin

\ well-known sea captain was eat
ing his luncheon of boiled eggs at q
downtown restaurant the other day,
when he surprised those at the same
table by calling to the waiter:
Waiter, what do you mean by
bringing me uncooked eggs?"
''The eggs have been boiled, sir, T"
said the waiter.
''BOiled, nonsense said the cap
tain. "See here, they won't spin" and
while many looked on he snapped the
eggs between his fingers, but he could
not make them revolve more than once
or twice.
"Bring some hot eggs right from the
water, waiter, and 1 will teach you
something" he said.
The waiter carried three freshly
boiled eggs to the captain. Taking
them between his thumb and second
finger, the captain caused them to
spin freely.
There" he said, ''these eggs have
been cooked, but those others have
not" and TO prove himself correct he
broke them all.
While breaking them he said;
EVERY old sailorman knows that an
uncooked egg can not be made 10 spin.
but cooked one can"
Several who had heard the captain
ordered eggs and tried it themselves.
All found that he was right.-Wash-
ington Post.

London Meat Inspection.

All meat that is declared unfit for
food by the official inspectors in London
is Immediately removed TO the con-
demned meat shed in the Central mar
ket at Smithfield. Here is a series of
tanks made Of thick slate, and each
with capacity of 900 gallons. The
meat is first slashed and dishgured, and
then subjected to a chemical bath
which has the effect not only of diseOl-
oring Snd deodorizing it, but also of
stopping decomposition.

ways be depended upon to keep down
the Democratic vote in Maine when
ever the latter was q candidate for
Office.

1t will thus be seen that Mr. Sewall
is not exactly an ideal candidate for n
Populist ticket, particularly on such Il
platform as was adopted last Thurs
day. He has not one single idea or as
piration in common with Mr.. Bryan.
The two men are a. far removed in
habits, conditions, convictions and ex-
perience as two men could possibly be.
Mr.. Sewall says he has been silver
man ever since the old coinage laws
were repealed in 1873, but if that is true
he has been very careful to keep the
fact secret, for not later than last
month he participated in the election
of delegates to the Chicago convention
and voted for platform which de-
clares as follows:
"We oppose the free coinage of silver
and favor a single gold standard unless
a different standard is adopted through
international agreements"
III Mr.. Sewall was sincere then he is
insineere now.
He admits that he is Handicapped by
this declaration by himself and other
Democrats of Maine, but explains that
steps will be taken upon the return of
the delegations to their homes to ar
range "a policy that will be agreeable
10 all the members of the party in the
State" He says that Mr.. Winslow,
the Democratic nominee for Governor,
who was delegate to Chicago, will
take charge of those arrangements.
Mr.. Sewall was not in any sense
candidate for place on the ticket.
He never dreamed of such thing;
but in their search for a millionaire to
assist in the payment of campaign ex-
penses Mr.. Bryan's friends selected
him as the least Objectionable among
the very few who were eligible for such
an honor. But if the gossip heard
among the older members of the Ma
tional committee can be relied upon,
the managers of Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign will be seriously disappointed
when they figure up the total of Mr..
Sewalrs contributions. They agree
that he has never been liberal giver,
and, as one of them expressed it: at
has always cost S2 in labor to dig one
out of old Sewall's barrel.

RICHEST NAN IN MAINE.
Arthur ]. Sewall is q Protectionist, a
Member Of the American Tariff
League and an Annexa-
zionist.

Arthur J. Sewall would have made
proper and ornamental tail-ender on
ticket with Maj. Mckinley, but with
Bryan he is a misfit.
Although Democrat by habit and
heredity, his views on public questions
correspond very closely with those of
the Republican candidate, and the con-
vention might have raked the Demo
cratic party through from Eastport to
San Diego without being able to dis
cover more unsuitable person to place
upon the Chicago platform.
Mr.. Sewall's ancestors have occupied
a large portion of the town of Bath, in
Maine, for two or three centuries.
They have built ships and sailed them.
They have carried rum and lumber
and Yankee notions and cotton goods
to the farthermost parts of the earth
to Greenland's icy mountains, to
Africa's sunny fountains and to India 5
coral strands. They have traded rum
aud ealicoes and beads with the ma
tives for cocoanut oil and dye-woods,
which they brought home to New
England and sold to the manufacture
ers to be worked up into articles of use

were copper-heads, as they were tories
during the Revolution, but they have
always been honorable and upright
citizens, with talent for getting mon
ey and keeping it and for looking out
for No. /.

Mr.. Sewall is the president and prin-
cipal owner of national bank at
Bath, his native city, and it is under
stood he is also a large stockholder in
several of the national banks of Boston
and Portland. The facts can be ascer-
tanned by an examination of the rec
ords in the office of the Comptroller OF
the Currency. He is also a director
and stakeholder in nearly every inn
portant corporation in Maine.

Mr. Sewall is director in the Maine
Central railroad, and until recently
was the president-of that corporation,
which is the largest and most grasping
monopoly in New England. He has
b zen at work for years consolidating
and recognizing and amalgamating
the short railway lines of New Eng
land, destroying competition, reducing
expenses and concentrating traffic ar
rangements until he finally succeeded
in securing an absolute control of all
transportation privileges from Boston
northward. Under his management
the railway was operated with great
economy and profit He is considered
a master in the science of getting the
greatest amount of labor for the least
pay.
Mr.. Sewall's family are Republicans.

Mr.. Sewall came to this convention
not as delegate, but as president of
the league, and for the purpose of secur-
ing as part of the platform a resolu-
ton similar TO that adopted by the Re
publicans at st. Louis. His resolution
was submitted to the Committee on
Platform in typewriter manuscript.
Ii began something like this: "We
favor a return to the practice and pol
icy of Thomas Jefferson" and then
declared that the Democratic party is
not in favor of free ships, but believes
in protecting and encouraging the
American merchant marine. 1t
therefore demands high duties upon
ships and the imposition of differen-
tial duties upon all imported goods
that are not carried in American bot
toms.
Mr.. Sewall and a number Of the
Maine delegation had a hearing before
the committee upon this proposition.
Mr.. John T.. Russell, of Massachusetts,
was allowed five minutes i'm which TO
reply to them. He took the ground
that Mr.. Sewalrs proposition was not
Democratic doctrine, and belonged in
the ST. Louis instead of the Chicago
platform. The committee agreed with
him unanim ously, and Mr.. Sewall's
resolution was laid upon the table.

largest yards for building wooden
ships in the United States and builds
iron ships also, having at present sew
eral contracts with the Government.
He is president of the American Ship
ping league, which was organized for
the purpose of securing a high tariff
and heavy subsidies for American
ships. He is the only democrat of
prominence connected with the or
ganization, and was placed at its head
because of his politics. Charles II.
Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder,
is vice president, but he is a Republi-
can and therefore is not out of place.
