Home Life Of Emperor william.

Like Frederick the Great, William III
likes good company at table. So there are
always several guests at the q o'clock din
ner-as at the supper that follows at 81
who are welcomed by him with hearty
shake of the hand. The meal generally
consists Of but few courses; but, however
small the company, the table Is always
laid with costly, plate and the choicest
flowers OF the latter the emperor is par
tfcularly fond. Ii is at these small gath
erings, after which cigars and Munich
beer are handed round, that hc shows him
self most unconstrained. Almost evesy
department of public life is freely handled
on these occasions, and the emperor en-
couragcs his guests, who are often scholars
and artists, to speak freely. L. frequently
happens at such times that opinions differ
to AN extens unbefit.ing such place. But
the emperor knows how to intcrpOse in a
conciliatory way or to put an end to the
war Of words by sharp speech.

.-Sugar Trust Exists No Longer

We are assured by The Sugar Trade
Journal Of May 18--organ of the Sugar
trust-that "if ever a monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed" This is delight
ful news. The Journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bill to have
refined sugars pay the same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the manufac-
ture is controlled by monopoly. II this
visionary proposal" should pass the
senate, it would jeopardize the tariff
bill and the Sugar trusts tens Of
millions Of surplus profits, which are SO
near at hand that the mouths Of Have
meyer and Searles are watering for them.
The Sugar trust trembles at the prospect
and tries to keep up its courage by hav-
ing its organ inform the world that "A
lot of such visionary proposals will, no
doubt, be introduced while the bill is
under discussion, but in the end the
sound Judgment men will control and a
tariff bill be passed without very much
change from the senate schedule.
The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
for it can predict what will happen to
the sugar schedule Of the senate. bill. 1t
knows what demands will be made by
its agents and tools in the senate, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands to enforce them. 1t puts
$40, 900, 600 against the interests of TO-
600, 900 people, and it knows from ex-
perience which has most weight i'll the
senate, where two on three hold the bal
ance of power.
No, there is no sugar trust and never
was one.

Perpetual Motion by Protection.

The California argument for higher
fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo-
tion. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornisp fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost of his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive Is
the profitableness Of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way :
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds OF dol
lars an acre. The interest on the value
of the land makes large item i'll u
fruit raiser's balance sheet. and he feels
the need of high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not
vote for the tariff bill unless it contains
duties OH hides ard increased duties OH
fruit and the cheapest sorts Of wool.
The increased duty adds to the profits
of fruit culture, and the price OF land
takes another rise, whereupon the fruft
grower complains that the interest OH
his land investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is sC
high that there is an insufficient prof,
in the business for him. and the only
thing that will save him from disaster
is more duty.
Logically this process can bc carried
OIL indefinitely. Practically it cannot
because with tho increase in the price
of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be wors,
off for the change. The grower. so fai
as he is not to be- considered rs "a land
owner, will be no better off, but tn,
value of the land will bo rs high as TN,
profits of fruit culture will permit. =

BOY VERSUS TIME.
1t Was . severe Test, but the Younssser

It Was . Severe Test, but the Younssser
Won the Battle.
You can nearly always bet your money
on a boy. Boys know some things better
than even the angels. In an important
lawsuit ut Clay Center l2-year-old boy
was .an the stand and testified that he had
spent just ten minutes in getting bucket
of water for his mother The question, Of
time was vital one, and the opposing
attorneys tried to rattle the boy. Finally
one of them pulled ont his watch and pro.
posed to test whether or not the boy knew
when ten minutes had elapsed. The op-
posing attorneys on the boys side of the
case strenuously objected to this test, for
1t Is well known that nothing Is harder
than to sit still and gauge the passing Of
time. The judge ordered the test to be
made, however, and after the courtroom
clock had been stopped and every chance
removed for the boy to play sneak, the
trial commenced. The stiffness In the
room became oppressive. Every watch was
drawn and the eyes of the multitude rested
upon the yOungster, who chewed gum,
swung his foot against the round Of his
chair and gazed placidly out over tho
benches rs though the proceedings had
mighty little interest for him.
Two, four, six minutes passed, ard still
be made NO sign. Then the attorneys COM
meneed to worry him. Isn't time about
ups" asked one Of them. "Nope," senta-
tiously responded the boy as he changed
the cross In his knees. Seven and eight
minutes passed. Haven't you got that
water pumped YETI" said the attorney in u
tone which was intended to convey tho be-
lief that ten minutes had more than passed.
Reckon not, ;" again replied the boy, and
his own attorneys began to chuckle Nine
minutes passed and tick, tick, tick went
the seconds toward the ten minute mark,
and up to exactly three seconds before the
limit when the boy drawled out. Il think
I've got that water drawed." The people
burst into applause, and after the trial,
when the boy was asked to explain how
he hit off the time SD correctly, he replied,
"Oh, just sorter knowed, that's ALL -

''The senate tariff bill as a WHOLE"

Warner, sis notice 10 eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on the rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet they are in

worms to supper not where they eat,

facturers Of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit Of 9TH

applies especially to the hide schedule. {"
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that sched-
ule?"
II think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept 80 except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust of
the west. We're the New England sena-
tors willing to risk offending the Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the

but She Won the Prixe.
Speaking of experiences, said n young
matron In Brooklyn at an afternoon tea,
81 can tell queer one. When went from
New York to Virginia to teach a public
school In a small crossroads town, found
tho people very religious and sincere,
while, am afraid, ! was neither. j went
TO church, though, because everybody was
expected to go. One Of the regular at
tendants was sort of half lawyer, half
farmer, who was no moro religiously in
elined than i was, and we became firm
friends through our mutual sense Of hu-
NOR. The one church was presided over
by worthy couple. BY that mean that
the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Carter, preached,
while the Rev Mrs. Carter did evangelical
work In teaching the Bible class. She had
an air Of omniscience that was delightful,
but 1t irritated my farmer lawyer friend.
So one day he came to me and said:
"'I'll give you calf If you will take

for the day was the account of the walking

"It was not likely that the good woman
had ever heard Of the substance, but she

STRANGE PLANTS.
Some Of the Curious Growths Noted by
Travellers.

Some Of the Curious Growths Noted by
Travellers.
Early travellers in China and Tartary
speak of a "plant of flesh and blood, with
the shape and appearance of lamb, hav-
ing feet, tail and head distinctly formed
and its skin covered with soft down." says
an exchange The lamb Is said to grow
upon stalk feet In height and to turn
about and bend to the herbage that serves
for its food, and when the grass fails 1t
dries up and withers away. There Is some
foundation for this queer story in the exist
ence of a singularly shaped plant recently
discovered, which has a sort of woOlly COW
ering, and in order to heighten the general
effect the natives trim the plant and ad
just the long, light, silky hairs that cover
it in such a style as to give 1t the appear
ance Of a woolclad animal. 1t Is natural
to suppose that this plant would wither
when the grass begins to fail; for even II
1t did not subsist upon the grass, as re-
ported, the same drought that served to
kill the grass would naturally destroy tho
plant
The value of the plant world, not only
in furnishing the pulpy material of which
paper Is manufactured, but also In sup
plying the paper itself outright, may not
be fully appreciated by those who have not
investigated the subject. 1t is well known
that the Egyptian papyrus in early days
was the main source from which anything
like our modern paper was derived. This
was reed that grew by the brooks, with
stem 6 to 10 feet in height and about an
inch in diameter. This was peeled and
the pith cut into thin slices, which were
then laid side by side with the edges
touching one another After being
sprinkled with water, heavy pressure was
applied, and they were thus united into one
piece. 1t may not be SO generally known
that there now grows in Asia n tree the
bark of which is made into sheets about u
yard square, and these are used for all the
ordinary purposes of paper, being very
tough and durable. The soft and durable
Chinese rice paper is not the product of
any part of the rice plant but is the pith of
tree which, by the aid of lathe and n
sharp instrument, is cut into very thin
