Tommy Donnelly, everybody knows and
has laughed at his antics, is once more
at his old post with the AL G. Field Big
White Minstrels this season. AS an up

all along the line which will assuredly
be DUPLICATED here when Mr.. Field brings
his big company to the Lyceum tonight.

Run Down and Killed.

Hundreds OF people lost their
lives every year through being run
down by horse cars, cable-cars or
electric-trolleys.
Thousands of people are daily
risking their lives in another way.
They are run down and killed by
reason of i'll health. They allow
their systems to get weak, and
some light illness develops into a
fatal disease.
1t is wiser to take no risks but to
build up health, strength and vital
ity by the Use of a healthful stimu-
liant. There is nothing better than

balance of receipts over expenditure,
taking into account the stock in hand,
leaves a very substantial interest up
on the capital invested. The sale book
for 1896 shows that 10, 900 eggs, 444
hens and 261 ducklings were sold. The
eggs for 1856 realized a fraction over
a penny a piece, while the $4,000 were
a trifle under. Poultry keepers ought
not to sell March and April pullets, as
many farmers do, for they lay in win

consequently fetch high prices. Pen
ming up fowls is strongly recommend
ed, because they cannot stray and lay
away from home, the eggs are always
fresh and quickly gathered, broods are
not Matched at the wrong time, and it
is easy to see if anything is amiss with
the birds.

Unable to endure the strain longer,
the mind of the empress gave way,
and she was taken back to the home
of her girlhood, the castle of Laeken,
a planiac. She is 81 years old now,
and all her once marvellous beauty has
faded. She still thinks that she is
Empress of Mexico, and looks for
hours Cut of the windows, expecting
to see Macmillan come riding back
with a victorious army.
One a year the Queen of the Bel
CLANS has been accustomed to make a
visit to I.aeken to see the unfortunate
Carlotta. Generally she has known
the queen and has seemed to be
soothed ty her presence. The last
time the queen went to see her, how.
ever, Carlotta became violent, and
there was a r-ost painful scene, from
which the queen drove back to Brus-
sells weeping bitterly.
A while ago ii was proposed to take
Carlotta to Mexico, in hopes that the
familiar scenes amid which she had
spent her days of glory with Maxi.
milan would restore her to reason
The Mexican government was willing
that the attempt should be made, but
the failing health of the ex-empress
rendered the plan impracticable. The
castle of Miraniar is now occupied By
the Empress OF Austria, who, since
the tragic death of her son Rudolph
has lived a secluded life, brooding ovel
the misfortunes of her family.

CASTLE OF LAEKEN.

000 veteran troops under Gen. Sheri-
dan to the Rio Grande. The Emperor
of the French took the hint and or
dered the withdrawal of the French
troops from Mexico.
When Carlotta learned that her hus-
band was to be abandoned to his fate
she wrote b%eseeching letters to all the
courts of Europe and determined to
go to Europe herself and plead at the
foot of all the thrones that Macmillan
be saved. When the French troops
withdrew Macmillan went as far as
Havana with Carlotta and there took
his last farewell of her. He was urged
not to trust himself again in Mexico,
but replied that however he might be
abandoned by the powers which had
sent him there and promised to sup
port him, he would not abandon those
MeXicans who were faithful to him,
and that he would go to meet his fate
like a prince of the house Of Haps-
burg.
While Carlotta had reigned as en-
press she had done much to reconcile
the MeXicans to the empire. She
was constant in works of charity, and
her charming manners and her tact
won many supporters for her husband.
From Havana Macmillan went back
to Mexico and prepared for the strug-
gle. which was to end in his death.
Carlotta went to Paris and threw her.
sell at the feet Of Napoleon, but that
cynic was not moved either by her
tears or her reproaches.
Then she went to Belgium and
urged her brother to do something to
save her husband. Her father had
died the year before, and Leopold II.
was powerless to help his brother-in-
law. What could the little kingdom
of Belgium do against the United
States, fresh from war with her veins
still tingling with the thrill of victori-
GUS battles and fleets and armies
which defied the world?
Carlotta went to Austria and beg
ged the aid of her husbands brother,
but without success. Finally she went
to Rome and besought the pope to
urge all Europe to go the assistance
of her imperiled husband. Meantime
Macmillan had been defeated. taken
prisoner and shot at Queretaro.

Thrift and Health.

Keeping animals thrifty is one of the
best ways of keeping them healthy.
Bulletin 55 of the South Dakota Expert
ment Station says:
In September, 1896, when the expert
ment lambs were fed growing rape,
their droppings contained segments of
Monieza expansa, r. b., the broad tape
worm of sheep, indicating that a previ-
Gus weakening Of the lambs digestive
systems had permitted the Judgement
and increase Of these parasites. In
quiry revealed the fact that the lambs
had suffered from lack of water and
grass on their summer range. AS these
conditions also favor the growth of the
more harmful Thysanosoma actinio-
ides, Dies, the fringed cestode of sheep,
the droppings were carefully examined,
could be found. In February, 1897, two
OF the sheep died and many fringed ces-
todes were found in the small intestine
near the entrance of the common bile
duct, and also in the smaller bile duct,
far up into the lobes of the liver. At
this time the cestodes were from one-
half inch to three inches long, and the
~egg-bearing segments were not mature
enough to be breaking away from the
worms. AS some of the sheep were not
responding properly to their feed, it
was predicted that all were infested and
the flock was isolated. Neither at this
time nor at later %autopsies were any
of the broad taneworms found in tho
intestines, and it is probable that the
