There is man living in Florida who
can rightfully boast of royal blood
coursing through his veins. A. j.
Murat, of Apalachicola, Fla, is the
aristocrat, and he has some very high
family connections. He is great
great-grandson of Marshal Murat,
Napoleon's famous general, who after
ward became King of Naples. He is
the great -great-nephew of four kings
Napoleon, Louis of Holland, Joseph,
King of Spain, and Jerome of West
phalia. He is third cousin of Louis
Napoleon and great-great- grandson of
Napoleon's mother, who died in 1886,
the year he was born. Mr.. Murat is a
man of about sixty years of age, and
one of the quietest, most unassuming
men imaginable. ATLANTA Constitu-

RaYares in White Pine,

The report which Secretary Wilson
has sent to Congress, in respose to
Senator Chandlers resolution, is inn
portant.
1t comes from the Chief of the
Forestry Division, and while it at
tempts no sensation, it shows that the
climax in the annual cutting of white
pine and other coniferous timber, like
spruce and hemlock, in this country is
near at hand. The timber will still be
obtainable in great quantities, espe.
ciallg with Canada's aid, for scores
of years; but it can be supplied only
for few years more in the prodigious
annual amounts hitherto furnished.
1t appears that in the last quarter
of century, or since 1873, there have
been cut in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota alone, 154, 900, 900, 600 feet.

of that period about 200, 900, 900, 900
feet, taking the whole country together.
New York and Pennsylvania have, next
to the three States just mentioned, large
quantities of standing coniferous tim

ern States is estimated at about 100,-

F. J. Kinny, the Worcester garden
Ell and fruit grower, does not believe in
much pruning for trees. At recent
horticultural meeting he cited the in
stance of neighbor who had a fine
orchard but who had his trees trimmed,
with the result that his crop of apples
has since materially deteriorated both
in quality and quantity. He thought
it was an admitted fact that you could
remove a very large limb from tree
without injuring the growth of the
whole tree. The best orchards he
knew of were those that had been
trimmed the least, but which werewolf

The Best Poultry House Floor.

The subject of floors for poultry
houses has been discussed more than
almost any other point about poultry
buildings. The best authorities are
now nearly agreed that earth is the
best floor that can be made if it is
properly prepared. The reason for
this is that earth is in the first place
good disinfectant and deodorizer, and
for this reason adapted to this purpose,
and in the second place, such a floor
eau be renewed at only the cost of the
labor used in replacing it, The best
floor is made of hard packed clay, GOV
cred with two inches of loose garden
mould
The land on which the poultry house
stands should be drained in such a
manner as to carry off surplus moisture
readily and prevent fooding by the
hardest rains. This can best be ac-
complished by filling in until the floor
of the poultry house is six inches high
er than the surrounding surface The
filling should be clay, if it can be got,
and in any event it should be slightly
damped and pounded dswn firmly and
allowed to dry beforeeing.p but to use.
Then cover with two inches of garden
soil or dust as dry as is convenient.
As soon as there is any foul odor about
the house this coat of loose soil should
be removed and a new one put in. In
the summer months this must be done
about twice a month, but in the winter
a longer time may elapse, provided the
soil is raked over and the droppings
mixed in it once week. The soil that
is taken out is one of the best fertiliz-
ers about the farm, and may be used
on garden crops with great benefit
The objection to board floor is that
it becomes saturated with the drop
pings, and not only offensive, but dan
gerous as breeder of disease. A
board floor is good breeding place for
vermin, while one of earth acts as a
preventive in a great measure, the dust
arising from the floor acting as an i'll
secticide. Farmer Voice.

Miss Jennie A. Estes had the honor
of being the only woman who took an
active part in the recent fourth annual
exhibition of the New York Academy
of Sciences in New York City. Miss
Estes came TO the exhibition out of
pure love of the cause, to assist Pro-
lessor Dwight in the exhibition of n
wonderful machine invented by him
self, called the pitsonome. 1t is used
for cutting very thin rock sections for
examination under the microscope
They can be cut as thin as the LOO
part of an inch, and are then mounted
between two plates of glass.
Miss Estes was Professor Dwight S
pupil at Vassar College, and did, he
says, particularly good work, much of
which was sent to the Chicago Exposi-
ton. One of the labels which he had
on his exhibits read "The two finest
specimens here We're prepared by Miss
Jennie A. Estes, of Brooklyn
The only other feminine work at the
exhibition was collection of water
colors depicting the fora of Australia
and New Guinea, by Mrs. Ellis Rowan.

The Queen of Greece.

According to correspondent of the
Tribune, Queen Olga of Greece, who
is most Systematically energetic
woman, employs a great portion of her
time in works of practical philanthropy,
deyoting an hour or two every day to
the great Evangelismos Hospital in
Athens, which she created and man.
ages in person. What is even more
remarkable, perhaps, is the fact that
the Queen acknowledges in writing, in
her own hand, each contribution for
the hospital, however insignificant.
Almost every other charitable institu
ton in the Hellenic kingdom owes its
origin TO her. If philanthropy be a
''fad' in royal circles, it is certainly a
most excellent form of amusement.
But in the case of Queen Olga, who
taxes not only her purse, but also her
personality i'll works of charity, the
motive for effort is apparently the
deeper one of sincere love for God and
for humanity. New York Observer.
