That ingenious gentleman. Prince
Philippe Robert Due dOrleans. Bour-
bon pretender to the throne of France,
has lately discovered another way to
have his name brought to the attention
of the French people with peculiar and
suggestive significance. When his en-
gagement to Archduchess Marie Doro-
thee of Austria, which terminated on
Thursday in the Vienna wedding, was
first announced, the women of the no
blesse along the Faubourg Saint Ger
main, Paris. started a subscription to
raise fund which should purchase a
fitting wedding gift for the wife of the
head of the Bourbon Orleans family.
More than 100000 francs were collected
and an order was lodged with NJ. Chau-
met, the well-known jeweler of the Rue
Richelieu, for diadem of diamonds.
1t was the intention of those Interested
to expose the diadem in the shop-win-
dow of the Rue Richelieu jeweler, but
as it was finished only the day before
the wedding it had to be sent at once to
Vienna. The diadem, however, like
any racing cup or prize-fghter's belt,
will be returned to the Rue Richelieu,
where Parisians may feast their eyes
upon it as they read the accompanying
card "a Gift from the Women of
France" etc. The design of the dia-
dem is that of the ancient Bourbon
crown of France

In the many inventions connected
with torpedo boats and torpedo catch
ers the question of invisibility seems to
be yet unsolved. In proportion as the
sea-going qualities of this type of ves-
sci are improved by increased size, so
does the essential quality of torpedo
boat-the power Of remaining unseen4
disappear Paints of various tints have
been tried, but no particular one has
been declared the best. The United
States navy has adopted greenish
shade, to correspond with the sea; Ger
many has adopted muddy yellow;
and France, after experimenting with
gray, has finally decided upon black.
1t is admitted by experts that a black
boat can be perceived with glasses at
greater distance than one painted
gray; that a gray boat can be distin-
guished under the electric light much
more easily than black one; and that
one painted green can be seen at a
great distance by a practised observer
stationed in good position. But when
the question of paint has been solved,
the great enemy to invisibility, smoke,
remains. In the daytime the line of
smoke from the pipe may be distin-
guished above the horizon before the
outlines of the hull of the boat are seen,
while at night the smOkepipe of a tor
pedo boat under way will flame like
chimney OH fire. These are problems
yet to be solved by naval experts.

Money in Winter Fattening of Sheep
Handling Corn in the Sta1k.-Clover
a Profitable Crop-Buy Only the Best
Stock-Odds and Ends.
Fattening Sheep and Lambs.


There is always money to be made in
winter fattening of sheep, and still
more in the fattening Of lambs, which
in this case are yearlings. But to make
the money requires experience in buy
ing the right class of stock to feed, and
still more in feeding so as to keep the
animal always from becoming cloyed.
This is very difficult, and requires both
close attention and practical discriml-
nation in the kinds and amounts Of
feed to be given. A thrifty growing
animal is always preferable to one that
is Scrawny and poor. If digestion in
either sheep or lamb is once injured,
the animal never fully recovers. Hence
the beginning of feeding ought always
to be very light, and part of 1t should be
Of bran and teaspoonful Of oil meal
mixed with it for each animal at feed
ing. After weeks feeding on this
few oats, whole, may be a added, les
sening the amount Of bran at the same
time. AS the weather grows colder,
whole corn may be substituted for one
third and finally one-half Of the oats.
With this mixed feed, bran, oil meal,
oats and corn sheep will seldom get Off
their feed if it is limited to what will
be eaten clean each day.

In Vienna a man and his wife have
been arraigned, charged with the mur-
der of an unknown number of persons
for the purpose of selling their bodies
for the dissection table. The evidence
is so far incomplete, though it strongly
points to the guilt of the culprits. y

were found to have been engaged in
enticing to their home servant girls in
search of a place and numbering them
for their clothes and the little money
they might have about them. These
latter persons were convicted AMI eye
cuted How it may fare with the for
mer remains yet to be decided. The
introduction upon the banks of the blue
rolling Danube of the crime which
Burke and Hare made so appallingly
celebrated in Edinburgh three-quarters
of century ago is calculated to give
pause to the merry, pleasure-loying
,Viennese, and make them look as wa
rily about them as the Edinburghers
were enforced to do il the period men,
toned, when they were brOoded over
by a terror greater than any ever iE-
spired by the Old Man of the Noun

Best Pigs from Old sows.

In looking out for young breeding
sows, the farmer jSrtoe apt to overlook
the sow that has borne one or two good
litters of pigs, and is now worth more
as a breeder than at any former time of
her life. SO long as the SOW is herself
growing she cannot do full justice to
furnishing the framework of the grow
ing litter which she carries. Hence
there are always one or more runts in
litters from immature sows. The pigs
from an old sow will be larger framed
and more vigorous in every way. They
will also make better breeders than pigs
from small, immature sows can be,
however well they may be fed.

Bulldog Stops a Runaway.

Councilman Bungay, of Spokane,
Wash, has bulldog that is worth
owning. Outside of keeping trouble
some dogs away from the store and
fighting worthless ours it developed a
new power the other day. 1t stopped
a runaway horse. Every one going
out on East Sprague street knows the
dog. He lies In front Of Mr. Bungay's S
store. and is friendly to all who treat
him kindly, but terror to others. He
was having a nice nap when he was
awakened by a cry of runaway" A
delivery horse had broken the weight
from the hitching strap and was com.
ing down Sprague street at a lively
gait. The dog saw what was up, and
at once located the strap dragging on
the ground. He made jump for one
end, getting his teeth firmly fastened
in it the first time. The speed of the
horse was sufficient to JERK the dog
into the air. 5ut ne held on to the strap
all the time, and when he could brace
himself for moment would set his
feet into the earth and jerk back. The
horse could stand this only a short dis
tance, finally being brought to a stand
still.
A number of men ran out and took
the animal by the bride, and as soon
as they did so the dog let go of the
strap, and shaking the dust off him
self, sauntered back to the store, GO
ing to sleep in the same old spot.

The appointment of Lii Hung Chang
as Minister of Foreign Affairs in Pc
king is regarded in the English Foreign
Office as a disagreeable surprise, to say
nothing of its being a personal NORTH
cation to Lord Salisbury, for it Is an
other signification that Russian infu-
ence in China is still predominant. AT
this moment the journals of France are
saving that it serves England right for
not Joining herself to France and Rus
sia in a triple league, while they con-
gratulate the republic that French en-
gineers and material will be used in
the construction of the Imperial arsenal
in Foo Chow.

The strange messengers have brought
their news slowly. Five years ago, ac-
cording to the computations Of the Hy-
geographic Office of the Navy Depart
ment, the earthquake took place. Since
that time the southern sea has been
filled with great bergs, slowly drifting
northWard into navigable waters. until
at last their size and numbers have
proved beyond doubt that their origin
can be found only in some disturbance
of the bed upon which the antarctic ice
cap rests. The information has just
been given out in the official statement
prepared by the photographic Office
for the use of those who gosdown to
the sea in ships.
This is the third and greatest of the
recorded upheavaIs of the ice, regions
about the south pole. The first took
place in 1882, the second in 1854, and
the recent one, it is believed, ins1S91.
1t has covered the southern sea with
bergs greater than the city of Chicago
and rendered navigation to the far
south unsafe for years to come, for.the
bergs melt slowly. Large masses OF
ice have been met with before by YES
sells in the South Atlantic, but never
in such great numbers
Capt. Doan of the American ship
Francis in February, 1898, when the
number Of bergs first began to increase
nOticeably, passed close ito six icebergs,
each several miles in length, and from
300 to 400 feet high, within twenty-four
hours, and after a night of peril from
floating ice found himself at daybreak
confronted by an immense barrier Of
ice stretching as far as he could see
from aloft. This was in latitude 81
degrees L minute south, longitude 40
degrees 15 minutes west.
In December of the same year thea
British bark Beechwoodr met with a
monster berg in latitudeS47 degrees Z
minutes south, longitude Al degrees Al
minutes west Officers of they Beech
wood estimated that the masss of ice
was twenty miles long and between 800
and 400 feet high. During the same
month the captain of the Drumcraig
sighted a berg twenty-five OF thirty
miles long and 300 feet high in latitude
40 degrees "a minutes south, longitude
.45 degrees SO minutes west.
The average size of the bergs sbroken
off by the recent earthquake is "a thing
hard to determine, for they are reported
.as varying greatly. The average, how
ever, is greater than in the previous
cases of 1882 and 1854. The immense
size Of the masses of ice dislOdged by
the shock will be appreciated when it
is remembered that only about one
ninth of the berg appears above the
surface of the water.
The occurrence of an earthquakes
alone is sufficient to faccount for ice-'

EOresf LeaXeS

1t is very often advised by agricul
tural writer's to go into the forests and
secure leaves for bedding for horses
and other stock There is no objection
to this if other bedding cannot be easily
obtained. But the leaves are procured
with the idea that they are a valuable
addition to the manure heap. On the
contrary they are of very little value
there, as when rotted down very large
heap of leaves will make only an in
significant amount of leaf mould,
whose chief value is in the potash it
contains. But in the forest the leaves
serve an important purpose, keeping
the soil moist under them.

Pneumatic Tire Locomotion,

Bicycle and Roller Skate the Latest
Pneumatic Tire Locomotion,
The latest idea in pneumatic tire To-
comotion is a machine which the in
ventor calls the ''cycle skate" The men
responsible for the curious affair took
for their model the safety bicycle and
the ordinary roller skate, the result be-
ing a mongrel which, like all other in
ventiOnS, is going to revolutiOnize cy-
cling" 1t consists of a steel frame,
light but strong, which clamps on 10
the sole and heel of the shoe, and to
this, directly beneath the heel and toe,
are fastened two large wheels. They
are made of either wood or steel, and
are equipped with either solid rubber or
small pneumatic tires. The skates,
having only two wheels each, are even
more difficult to manage than blcy-
Gle, and an additional charm will be
had in spinning over the highways and
byways in that it will be a trick to
master the cycle skate The wheels
are about three inches in diameter.
The new invention is intended as much
for the road as the rink OF course,
the cycle skate can be of little use ex-
cept where the roads are hard and
smooth. Asphalt macadam or a we'll
rolled dirt road will serve the purpose

The Transvaal Government has a
double object in view in demanding H.

South African Company to cover the
damage done by ,Tameson's raid. The
expense caused TO the Beers by that
expedition probably did not reach a
tenth of that sum, but they are a thrift

for profit. besides which they aim to
punish the company for it's unwarrant-
ed Interference in their affairs. The
company's prompt disclaimer of Jane
sons enterprise did not avail with
public opinion ut the time. since its
responsibility was clearly proven nor
will it carry weight with the Beers,

Manurinx in the Fall.

There is much less waste by fall ma
nuring than is commonly supposed. If
fresh manure from stables is drawn
out as made and spread over the sur
face, the winter SHOWS and rains leach
through it, and whatever soluble fer
tility it contains slowly soaks into the
soil. Unless the surface is frozen or
coming from above, there is never any
washing Of the surface soil to carry off
its fertility. On the contrary, the ma
nure is much better mixed with the
soil than it could be if left until spring,
when if plowed under the rains seldom
come heavy enough to Thoroughly soak
the manure in the soil.

Does Wales scratch His Head?

Some one has been protesting against
the cinematoscOping of royalty and the
subsequent exhibitions of the photo
graphs, on the ground that in one of
the series the Prince of Wales is repre-
sented as scratching his royal head. The
cinematOscoper has hastened TO explain
that ''the movement referred to is SIM
ply momentary placing of the hand to
the ear, probably TO brush away an in
trusive fly" Loyal subjects of the
crown will now be able to sleep peace
fully in their beds without being haunt
ed by the horrid thought that the heir
apparent could, under any circumstan-
ces whatever, descend to such plebe-
ian action as scratching his head

A man at Narbonne, France, lost n
1OO-franc note in funny way recently.
He was in a restaurant and took the
note from his pocket to pay for his din
ner, when, as the note lay upon the
table, gust of wind Topped it into the
soup. Fishing it out, he placed it upon
the edge of the table to dry. whence it
slipped to the floor Just then along
came 4 hungry little poodle, and. sniff
ing at the note. he got Il good whiff of
the soup, snatched up the note and
swallowed it. The owner of the note
then sued the owner of the poodle for
the 100 francs. and the courts have de-
cided that the latter must pay.
