ENGLAND WANTED WAR.

Held Back From Fighting France In 1898
by the German Emperor.
The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re-
lated in considerable detail that during
the Siamese imbroglio Of 1893 England
was on the verge Of declaring war
against France. The power that opposed
the war most vigorously was Germany.
In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was
prevented by the German emperor.
SAT that time" said the Gaulois,
emperor William was at Cowes with
his yacht. He had won a regatta prize
from Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie and the
Prince of Wales Britannia. He appear
ed, literally as well as fguratively, to
swim in English waters. 1t was as he
sat at dinner in the house of the Royal
Yacht squadron that he received from
Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng
lish government intended to declare war
against France. The emperor rose from
the table, laid aside his napkin and sent
dispatch empowering his ambassador
| in London to protest against Lord Rose
bery's programme Moreover, he be-
| took himself at once to Osborne House
to announce to his grandmother that he
never could approve such course as re-
CARDS Siam.
| Sometimes Paris newspapers publish
articles ON European politics that lack
all foundation in fact, and the amazing
story told by the Gaulois might have
been dismissed as one of them had II
not been confirmed at once by the koel'
nische Zeitung, probably the most trust
worthy journal on the European CONT
nent. The Koelnische Zeitung's Parl!
correspondent was at Cowes with the
emperor in 1898. AS soon as the eau
lois had made it's statement he corrobo
rated it. Among the influential English
men at Cowes, he said, it was theI
common talk that the German emperor
was England's ally against Siam ant
France Lord Dufferin, then Engllsl
ambassador in Paris, had come to Cove
to conclude the negotiations for an ALI

that England wished to assign him. III

Indians and Animals In Bronze,

Indians and animals typical Of
America are to beperpetuated in bronze
for the National Geological Garden at
Washington, if the plans of certain
men of public affairs at the National
Capital are carried out. And Edward
Kemeys, the Chicago sculptor, is the
artist who is to execute the statues of
the fast disappearing red man and the
fauna of America. Congress will be
asked for an appropriation for the pur-
pose, and it is expected that that body
will respond as generously for the pur-
pose as it has heretofore in the beau
tifying of the great National park.
Capt. Kemeys has returned to his Bryn
Mawr residence after six weeks visit
to Washington and is at work on the

She was going to another hop, and
she Was going with Captain Soutter.
He had invited her ct the time that
she was practicing for the martyr role.
As she couldn't, therefore, go with
Milford, she would wear the gown he
liked, which was white silk. For il
she had to have white gloves; and her
white gloves were soiled. Therefore
they must be cleaned. Miss Bradford

mixture had to be whipped-as if il

and frothy. 1t had most unpleasant
odor, but it was pretty to look upon.
Because the odor was 80 unpleasant,
Miss Bradford opened the door into
the hallway and stood just within il

There was air in the hallway, bu,
there was none in the Gallatins' quar-
ters, as the baby had cold. Captain

Poultry In Orchards.

Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting
on report Of the Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station regarding the value
of fowls to orchards. says: "For many
years 1 have advocated the introduce
ton Of poultry into apple orchards,
maintaining that they do good service,
in two very distinct modes-frst, by
manuring the ground, and, secondly,
by the destruction of insects aud
grubs that hibernate in the SOIL"
The apple maggot appears to be ex-
tending in America, attacking the fa-
vorite Baldwin, which is so we'll known
as being imported largely into this
country, and rendering it entirely un-
fit for use, but the spraying the trees
with bordeaux mixture and Paris
green has appeared to prevent all seri-
GUS attacks of this insect.
In the mature state this insect is q
fly, which deposits its eggs in the pulp
Of the apple beneath the skin. The
young maggots grow within the fruit,
which they render worthless, and
when mature emerge from the apple
and go into the ground, lying in the
pupa state beneath the surface soil
among the grass roots. Samples of
the earth, six inches square, were
taken, and the number Of maggots un-
der the trees varied, according to the
size, from 1000 to more than IL, 900
under each tree; the pupa somewhat
resembles kernels of wheat. Now
comes the point which was particularly
interesting to me. The experiment
was tried as to whether poultry, if
confined to small range and encour-
aged to scratch. would destroy these

Dog Gives Up Life to Save His Master.
When man gives up his life for
another, posterity erects q monument
to his memory; but when a dog dies
that his master may live, men stop and
think, and John Walker, of Roselle,
N. j., was doing lot of thinking Sat-
urday night. He was face to face
with death, and his dog had averted
the blow. e
Walker left his house early in the
morning for stroll. His dog followed
him. He tried to drive him back.
Then master and dog started to walk
along the Jersey Central Railroad
tracks to Elizabeth.
Midway between the stations Walker
met heavy freight train running
rapidly eastward, making enough
noise to deaden all other sounds.
Walker stepped to the bound
track. His dog, which had been run
ming ahead after birds or lettering be-
hind to make short and noisy excur-
sions into the bushes, closed in on his
master when the train neared him.
Walker was careless. He never
looked behind him, and did not hear
or see the Royal Blue Express. Brake
men on the freight train shouted warn
ings. The engineer of the express
train blew his whistle, with no avail.
1t was too late to stop, although the
engineer was trying to do so. Walker
plodded on.
When the train was nearly on top of
Walker his dog sprang at him with q
growl. Walker turned, saw the train
and stepped aside in time to avoid the
cars as they swept past him with q
roar. Not SO with the dog. The pi-
lot Of the engine struck the animal
and tossed him aside.
When Walker recovered his senses
he looked for his dog. The faithful
animal lay dying, with his back
broken.
Walker carried his dog to the side
OF the track. The brute licked his
hand, feebly wagged his tail, and died
in his masters arms.-New York

May Weed In Fields.

May weed is not q kind OF weed that
seriously troubles the careful farmer.
1t mainly comes in on hard, trodden
places by road sides, where il anything
else starts to grow it is crushed out.
The may weed, not being SO easily
killed, survives. May weed cannot
thrive where there is an undistnrbed
and thrifty growth Of clover, but let
the clover be trampled in the mire by
stock, and the may weed will be ready
to grow and take the vacant place. II
is most often seen, aside from road
sides, at the entrance to pasture lots,
where clover and the grasses are
trampled to death by stock.
MIX Fever.
Milk fever is disease to be dread
ed by the man who has first-class
dairy cows, and who feeds and cares
for them in such O manner as to make
them large producers. The man with
scrub COWS, that have to rustic for
themselves during the winter round
the straw stack, never suffers from loss
by milk fever when his cows come in
in the spring. 1t is true he gets no
profit out of his cows, and he rarely
gets product enough from them to pay
for the little feed and care they do
have. But he can, and does, console
himself by saying he never has milk
fever with his COWS like those men do
who stuff and pamper and baby their
cows"
We have lost, within the past fifteen
years, several valuable cows with this
disease. We think we now know how
to prevent. A heifer with her first
calf never has it and very rarely with
the second calf. A COW that is MIXED
continuously right up to calving is not
liable to have milk fever, at least we
have never known one to. We hesi-
tated to write that last sentence for
fear some one would accuse us of ad-
vocating continuous milking. That
we do not, but still feel bound to state
that fact. A COW that is starved, or
fed just enough to live on, will never
have milk fever.
One way is to dry the COW up six or
eight weeks before she is due to calve
(unless she is such persistent mixer
as to make that impracticable); at the
same time reduce her feed by taking
nearly, if not quite all, the grain from
her. Her bowels should be kept loose.
If the COW is in flush pasture, and she
is one you have reason to believe like
ly to have milk fever, the only safe
way to do is to keep her upon dry feed.
We know it is hard for the man who
has been in Che habit Of ''babying"
and petting his COWS and feeding them
to their full capacity to refuse them all
they want to eat, but 1t is the only
safe way to do with some OF them.
After COW has had milk fever once
she is more liable than other COWS to
have it again, and il she does have it
a second time she will be always most
sure to die.-Hoard's Dairyman.
