little something out OF Leland about
State politics. He said that the fight for

for President, Sam Peters tried It for
Governor. Ed Hoch tried 1t and num-
Der Of others They all failed. Coburn
Is trying 1t, but the result will be the
same" He said that he was giving little
attention to the matter. He closed by
saying, ut will be an easy matter to-

Remembered His First Love.

From the london News.
The following remarkable story is
rela-ed about the unhappy King Otto
OF Bavaria. This last week he ate al
most nothing for some days. although
his appetite is usually unnaturalIy
good. He sobbed. walled and screamed
uninterruptedly for hours, and even
became at times dangerous. One morn
ing, however, his physician and a
Keeper cautiously pushed aside the
heaNy brocade curtain which divides
their bedroom from that OF the poor
onarc and found him with tears
down his cheeks, gazing into
a little silver case which they had
often seen in a drawer. the key to
which King Otto wore on "A fine steel
chain round his neck. As soon as the
king perceived hat he was watched
he turned oun and smiled so hap
PLY n naturally that the doctor. sur
prised. stepped nearer. Wearing the
same joyful expression the king cried
out To him:
l.. passed a better night.
She is now out of danger"
He then carefully locked up the lit
tie silver box. which contained nothing
but a few dried strawberries. and
spent a very quiet day. He also en-
joyed his dinner again.
This is the other part of the story:
In 1867 there was a merry picnic i'm "A

Experims mt in Photography.

A most interesting experiment is the
transferring to paper of the natural out
lin and tints of a leaf. and though, strict
ly speaking, this is not a Photographic
experiment. the impression obtained has
the fidelity Of a photograph. Take a
piece of fine linen. free from starch. and

HISTORY OF THe GLOVE.
How Its Use Has Grown In Compare
lively Recent Times.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The prevalence of the glove is a feat
ure of modern rather than of ancient
civilization. The symbolism Of gloves
grew up slowly under medieval foster
ing. The traces of this symbolism that
still remain may be seen in the white
gloves worn at weddings, the white
gloves given at a maiden assize, the
black gloves of the funeral ceremonies.
With the clergy the glove became the
symbol of their office: its purity and
incorruptibility; with feudalism IL be-
came synonymous with knightly hon

Jacobite came forward and raised the

In the days of the Plantaeenets it
appears that the kings were not only

but We're buried with them. When the

The glove had long been a symbol of
investiture, and possibly the kings
thus buried with some idea of invest

their successors.
At the coronation OF French kings
the royal gloves were blessed by the
bishop who officiated. In some part.
of Christendom bishops themselves

The glove became so associated with
Episcopal authority that at different

nothing but short ceremonies attend

M. Ernst, superintendent of the sead-
emy, and the address to the class was
made by Colonel Peter S. Shinie pro-
fessor of natural and experimental
philosophy. This is the first ti.ue since
1861 that a class was graduated before
the end of the academic year. The ex-
animation usually held in June will
probably not be held this year until
later, as 1t may become necessary to
graduate the second class soon. If
such becomes necessary the examina-
tion and graduation may not take place
before July or August. Most of the
new officers will be assigned to the two
new artillery regiments and the rest
will be divided amongst the volunteers.
There are only two New Englanders
in the class and they are from Mas

WAR RISKS AGAIN JUMP.
Rates on American Bottoms Increased
Fifty Per Cent.

New York, April 26.-Marine insur-
ance rates took another jump to-day.
British companies have increased the
rates on American bottoms SO per
cent. They now charge a premium of
lOA per cent. for long voyages and in
some cases as high as per cent. for
transatlantic voyages. This advance
in the rates is said to have been made
on account of the uncertain position
of the Spanish navy and of the fact
of Spanish privateers having been re-
ported on the coast of Great Britain.
American underwriters have also in
creased their rates proportionately,
charging from 121a to II per cent. on
American bottoms to ports on the west
of Africa and around Cape Good Hope.
The rate for coastwise steam trading
vessels is now per. cent. and for sail
ing ships 3 per cent All these rates
apply on vessels sailing to-day only.
Tomorrow the rates may be still fur
ther increased. Merchants desiring
war risks on the Paris have had to pay
enormous rates, 25 per cent. being de-
manded by local underwriters. The
bulk of the Paris risks have been placed
in London, local underwriters refusing
to accept the risk except at prohibitive
rates.
