zOLA'S ESCAPE TO ENGLAND,

London, Dec. 27.--1.e Paris CORE
spondent of the times gives an inter
esting account of the way in which
Emile Zola escaped to London after
the sentence imposed upon him last
July in his trial on the charge Of libel,
brought against him and Perroux,
managing editor of the Aurore, by the
officers of the Esterhazy court martial.
According to De BlowltZ. lola has lived

Paris friends had the greatest difficulty
in persuading him to seek refuge in
England, a course they considered best

Spain. In presenting the document,
Day, chairman of the commission, said
it represented the earnest efforts of
the American representatives at Paris,
and was submitted with the hope that
it would rebound to the peace, credit
and glory of the American nation. The
president responded with heartfelt
thanks and congratulations to the
commission as body and to the mem
bers individually. He spoke of them
all that had been accomplished and of
the happy method by which the diff
cult questions had been adjusted. The
formal ceremony of delivering the
treaty to the president occurred in the
blue room and lasted half and hour.
The commission arrived from New
York on a special train at 4:30 p. m.
A great crowd of holiday eXcursionsts
filled the railroad station, and to avoid
the jam, the special was run on side
track where the officials had an oppor-
tunity TO leave the train before 1t en-
tered the depot. ChfeI Clerk Michaels,
OF the state department, was on hand
as representative of Secretary Hay
and quite number OF officials from
the state, war and navy departments,
as we'll as friends and relatives, were
there to greet the commissioners.
Four of the ommissioners-Day, Reid.
Davis, and Frye-took the first car
riage to the white house. Soon there
after Senator Gray followed with Sec
rotary Moore. Secretary Hay was
with the president when the party ar
rived at the white house. Day was the
first to grasp the presidents hand.
All the members of the commission
being assembled, the president led the
stood at the further end of the room,
while the party ranged around him,
Taking the treaty, Day addressed the
president in the manner already allud-
ed to. His remarks were quite in
formal and impromptu, brief, dignified
and to the point, in assuring the pres
ident the satisfaction the commits
sion felt that its laborS We're ended in
such way as to give promise of the
welfare of the country. After the
presidents response, some time was
spent in an informal discussion of the
trip and then all the commissioners
except Day departed.
The latter remained with the presi-
dent. for dinner. 1t was stated after the
delivery of the treaty to the president
that it would not be made public at
present, the usual courtesy to the SEN
ate requiring that it be submitted to
that body before made public. In the
meantime it will remain in the custody
of the state department for safe keep
ing. although copies of it will be in the
hands of the president for such consid-
Grafton as may be needed.
1t is the impression that with the
submission of the treaty to the presi-
dent, the official existence of the COM
mission as body will have termi-
mated. Should there be occasion which
is scarcely conceivable, for further ne
gotiations on any subjects touched by
treaty, its is said this will either be
done by direct negotiations with the
Madrid government, or through an en-
tirely new commission. 1t Is expected
that the treaty will be submitted to the
United States senate almost immed-
lately after the reassembling Of con-
gress.

THE SUCCESSFUL INCUBATOR.

We have before us the new catalogue
of the Successful Incubator, manufac-
tured by the Des Moines Incubator Co.,
Des Moines, Iowa. These people have
been regular advertisers in our columns
for several years past and we presume
that many of our readers now own and
operate the Successful machines. So far
as we are able to ascertain the results
of this machine in actual operation are
such as to give hearty endorsement to
the name. We see by reference to the
annual catalogue that the manufactur-
ers' guarantee is such as to leave very
little to be desired If there Is any point
of construction, material and actual in
cubating ability that is not completely
covered by the guarantee, we fail to
discover it. By the way, this 1SO page
catalogue is crowded with good things
that ought to be in the hands Of every
man or woman who is interested in
poultry in any way. It is handsome
and valuable book and worth many
times more than they ask for 1t. Send
along cents in postage stamps and Sc
cure it before another day passes. 1t
will repay you handsomely.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAND.

Mary had little land;
The soil was very poor;
But still she kept it all on hand,
And struggled to get more.
She held her land until the day
The people settled down;
Till where q wilderness had been
Grew up a thriving town
Then Mary rented out her plot
(She would not sell, you know,
But waited patiently about
For prices still to grow.
They grew as population came
And Mary raised the rent;
With common food and raiment now
She would not be content
She built herself mansion fine,
Had luxuries galore;
But every time more people came
She raised the rent some more
What makes the land keep Mary so?'
The common people cry.
'Why Mary owns the land, you know,
The knowing ones reply.

To Follow a Glover Crop.

Glover is the great nitrogen crop, and
after harvesting it the field is left well
stored with nitrogen, which should be
utilized at the earliest opportunity. Plow
the clover field as early in the spring as
the ground can be worked and plant
to corn, following the corn, when fit
to cut, by winter wheat well drilled to
insure termination. BY this practice
all waste of nitrogen is arrested and
it has served the purpose for which the
clover was grown. Many make the mis-
take Of not keeping some kind of green
roots in the fertile soil all the time so
as to retain the stored nitrogen, the
result Of clover growing until it can be
used to advantage in growing some
money crop.
