Eugenie Pleads For Flowers.

A touching little incident Of the En-
press Eugenie's late visit to France was
told me recently by an eyewitness. Fol-
lowing her usual custom in coming to
Paris, the empress was installed in a
suit of rooms at the Hotel Continental
overlooking the Tuileries gardens
where the glories and many of the t5ag-
edies of her sad life have been enacted.
1t was her custom each morning to go
for promenade in the gardens
One morning, about two weeks ago,
while taking her usual walk, she seated
herself upon bench in the Tuileries
gardens opposite bed of flowers where
the gardeners were at work. After sit
ting perfectly quiet for some time she
raised her veil and wiped the tears from
her eyes, then rose, stepped forward,
and spoke to one of the gardeners, told
him who she was and asked him for
flower. The man presented her with the
most beautiful rose he could find. She
thanked him, pressed the blossom to her
lips, and turned and walked sadly away.
What conflicting emotions must have
moved the heart of the ex-empress of
the French when forced to ask this ia

Biddy,s queer Brood.

Out in the Smoky Hollow section of
Great Bend township, Pa. party of
snow bound travelling men were swap
ping yarns about animals one day in
early March. says correspondent OF
the New York Press. After several
pretty stiff stories had been told the ho-
tel clerk woke up "Bill Sullivan of
this township, said he, ''has a hen
that has just Matched out queer brood.
She was forever sitting on something,
trying to hatch out doorknobs, horse
shoes and the hike, and so Bill thought
he cure her of the habit. He had some
rattlesnake eggs that he found last
summer and had put away in cotton,
intending to hatch them out in hot sand
in June
He put these eggs under the hen
about three weeks ago, and in just IA
days the crisis came. One morning
there was an awful how dye do in the
henhouse, and Bill went out to investi-
gate
"You may not believe it, but there
was that darned old hen hopping up
and down in fearful state of mind,
running up to look into her nest and
then running away again with wings
outstretched and cackling demand for
an explanation. She few at Bill as
though she intended to peck his eyes
out, but he beat her off and then took
look in the nest
There were seven little rattlesnakes,
each about four inches long, squirming
about in it For one whole day that
hen refused to return to the nest. but on
the next day she went back to it, and
she had evidently made up her mind to
rear that brood and make the best Of
it.

A Race Of Great Men.

No doubt you have often heard the
expression "as tall as Patagonian.
Many years ago wonderful tales were
told about the great size of the Tehuel-
ches Of southern Patagonia, it being re-
ported that they were all from nine to
ten feet tall. While not approaching
such extreme height, the Patagonians
living to the east of the cordilleras are
believed to be the tallest people in the
world. The men average nearly six feet
in height, and many of them are nearly
seven feet tall When we.consider that
the average American is several inches
below the six foot mark, and yet we
rank as tall people, it is easy to believe
race Of six footers may take the palm
for height.-Chicago Record.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
An Intelligent Mastiff-A Lucky Acct
dent-Little Missy Two
Teeth.

A young girl was crossing the public
garden in Boston one morning recently
upon the main path which crosses the
bridge. She was accompanied by a
magnificent mastiff who strobe along
beside her in the most companionable
sort of way, looking up in her face
occasionally as if to remark casually
that it was very fine morning or to
ask if there was anything he could do
for her.
The two crossed the bridge together
and finally came to the Charles street
gate. Here the young girl, evidently
not wishing to have the care Of the dog
in the busy streets, turned to him and
said:
"There, that is far enough now,
Marco. You need not 60 with me any
farther, but turn about and go back
home"
She did not take her hands out of her
muff to point the way, and she spoke
as she would to small brother, in a
pleasant conversational voice
Marco looked at her with his large
Cy Cd, UllCA lOOhCu dC4Ooo UuO OOdlA1OL,
wagging his tail slowly, as though he
were thinking how very pleasant it
would be to go the rest of the way.
Finally he turned back to her again,
and with movement of his eyes and
head asked as plainly as though the
words had come from his mouth,
"Please let me go little farther; it is
such fine morning"
tNo, dear; Pm going shopping, you
know" answered the girl, explaining
she difference, as if Marco were human.
"There'n be crowds of people, and
shall not know what to do with you.
But 60 along now, there's good fell
low, and I'll be back soon.
Without another word Marco turned
and walked back across the gardens
He did not stink away, as some dogs do
when sent back, but marched leisurely
along, with his head in the air, stopped
a moment on the bridge toewatch the
children skating below, then trotted on
toward Commonwealth avenue.

A Lucky Accident.

One of the greatest discoveries ever
made was the result of pure accident. 1t
was in the year 1895. The citizens of
Munich had just witnessed the first per-
Torrance of Mozart's opera, "Don
Juan" The theater was deserted by all
except one man, Alois Sennefelder,
who, after making a round of inspec-
ton in the building to see that there
was no danger Of fire, went to his room
to stamp the tickets of admission for
the following day.
When he entered his room, he had
three things in his hand--a polished
milestone, which he had bought for
sharpening his razor; a ticket stamp,
still moistened with printing ink, and
a check on the treasurer of the theater
for his weekly salary.
As he placed the latter on the table a
gust Of wind swept it high up in his
room and then deposited it in basin
filled with water. Sennefelder dried the
paper as well as he could and then
weighted it down with the milestone,
upon which he had carelessly placed
the printing stamp
When he returned to his room the
following morning, he was astonished
at seeing the letters printed upon the
dampened paper. A thought came to
him. He wondered whether by some
such means he could not simplify his
work Of continually copying the songs
Of the chorus. He went out and pur-
chased a large stone, commenced max
ing experiments, and, as we all know,
finally discovered the art of printing
from stone-lithography. - Philadel-

Senator Clay Hides His Age.

Does any one know Senator Clay's
age7 The senator does not, or if he does
he refuses to tell it, In the congress
sional directory Mr.. Clay's biography
appears as follows;
Alexander Stephens Clay of Mariet-
ia, Cobb county, Ga, was born Sept.
25, -, on farm in Cobb county,
etc.
1t is evident that he knows the day
on which he came ON earth, but it does
not appear that he knows the year. If
he does, he has perhaps held it for good
and sufficient reasons
Senator Clay is young man-very
young although he looks much older
than he really is. His friends who knew
him in Georgia say his reason for de-
clining to give his age was perhaps that
he was not quite beyond the constitu-
tional age for senators-35-when elect

This, however. is merely surmise. -

One of the little things not taken into
account as it should be is the per cent
of waste in dressing poultry 1t makes
a great difference in killing 100 birds,
weighing in the market 400 pounds,
whether they lose 30 or 80 per cent Of
their gross weight while passing from
the block to the commission dealer or
marketman. This largely rests on the
form Of bird. and is a strong argument
why in selecting breeding stock for
poultry making, the size, and especially
the shape OF the birds must be consid
cred. The less the waste in dressing the
greater the profit in growing Maine

Once President, Now a Pauper.

A San Francisco paper prints long
story detailing the fall of ex-President
Gutierrez of Salvador from president to
pauper. The article is based on letters
received in San Francisco from Hon
duras, which state that the once popu-
lar president of Salvador is now living
on aims from strangers.
His fall is timed from the disruption
of the unlon of the Central American
republics. Gutierrez instituted the Un-
ion and made Regaldo commander of
the army. The latter is accused of be-
fraying Gutierrez as president Gutter
rez was forced to fly to Honduras for
safety. All of his property is heavily
mortgaged, and his family is forced to
subsist on the meager income derived
from the mortgaged plantations.

The henhouse furnishes a very rich
manure for the garden, but 1t is rath-

SO that applications of potash and phos-

supply the potash, but they should
never be mixed with the hen manure
before they are applied. Kainit win
also supply potash and can be mixed

ammonia. Lime is a fine thing to have
about the henhouse, but it should not
be mixed with the manure. Maine

would offer their strength to aid the
Filipinos in their struggle for indepen-
