Fubert Culture in ITALY.

= It will surprise many to hear that in
certain districts of Italy the filbert
crop rivals the produce of the vine in
commercial Importance. These de-
hcious nuts are grown on bushes or
shrubs, which are arranged in groups
that are from Is to rs feet apart, so as
to insure the access of plenty of light
and air. They thrive best in deep
clayey soil, and the planting takes place
during November and December of
slips from the mother plant, Seeds
could be used, but the growth would
be too slow to be profitable. AS it is,
the shrubs do not bear fruit until the
third year, and blossoms appearing be-
fore that time being removed, SO that
the plant shall not be impoverished.
The plants are periodically pruned,
when any slips which have failed to
sprout are removed and replaced by
others; SO that there are plantations
which remain IN full growth, although
nearly = hundred years old The filbert
is not subject to the diseases common to
other crops, but it suffers severely from
hailstones and from cold Winds.

WHAT A DROUGHT COSTS.
q q Bad ID One In New South Wales Means
~ 9 Loss of Many Million
4. III Dollars, s. K

8 What the drought of the last few
years has cost New South Wales has
been estimated, and the estimate makes
up q bit Of very doleful arithmetic.
says Westminster Gazette. The focks
OF the colony have shrunk from sc, 0O0,-
600 to 46,000,000, representing loss Of
20,O0o,0oo sheep. If to this is added
the loss of natural increase the shrink
age amounts to 100000 sheep;
enough, that is, to equip considerable
sized colony. In addition there has
been loss of nearly 100000 horses and
100000 cattle.
That the colony has been able to
survive these terrific losses is strik-
ing. proof of energy and resource.
Translated into money the colony has
suffered, loss of from e 12,oO0,000 to
s2o,o00,00o. For so much, when ex-
pressed in pounds, shillings and pence,
do few inches more or less of rain
fall count! We are probably entering
on a cycle of years, contemporary
thinks, when the kindly skies will pour
on the far-stretching plains their bene-
diction of rain, and these vast losses
will quickly be made up.

A GREAT HOUND.


The greatest fox chase Of which there
is any authentic record took place inthe
neighborhood OF Long Branch, in
Meade county, lately, says the News of
breckenridge, Ky. Ben Matthews, a
colored man living at Long Branch, has
Ia foxhound named Queen One even
ing, when the air was soft, Queen and
her companion, Don, together with Jim
Bekerstaff's "Ole MAIZE" started for the
hills near by, and were not long absent
when they started a vigorous old fox.
By their vigorous mouthing it was
known that they had a warm scent and
were on the trail OF q fox Of fine stay
ing qualities. For several hours during
the night the residents of thatvicinity
could hear all three hounds tonguing
together, and then the two male dogs
dropped out of the run, leaving Queen
to keep up the chase alone. All night
long she followed the trail, and long
toward morning was joined by come
fresh hounds, who stayed with hefsfor
a few hours, fell out, rested up and
Joined in the chase again at intervals
during the next 20 hours.
On the second day of the chase Will
LaGrand's ''Tige," hound noted for
it's staying qualities, joined her and
remained until the close of the
run. Queen was on the run, with
out rest, the entire 36 hours consumed
in the chase. She stopped only when
she had run reynard to cover. After
she had accomplished this she lay down
aud guarded the burrow, and when
found by her owner was so stiff and sore
that she could not move a limb and
bad to be carried to the house. Mat
thews, her owner, thinks she is the
best foxhound on earth, and would not
trade her for the best horse in Ken
lucky.

PLANTED a GRAVEYARD
The: Novel scheme 81 an Toe Company
B to Head on 8 Northern Indt- ut
ann RatIroad. 81

- St
A; fact leaked out recently which In
dicates the bearing some Of the seem
ingly harmless bills passed by q gem
eral assembly have on large interests.
One Of these bills, which passed at the
last session without any discussion,
prohibited the building of any railway
lines through any graveyard. Little
was known of its purposes, but at that
time of the session bills for the pension
ing of civil war veterans and their wild.
ows and such other benevolent meas
ures were being passed more or less
regularly along with patriotic resolu-
tions, and what little was said about the
bill was thrown out in such way as to
appeal to the sentiment of the solons.
In an effort to prevent the Dissertation
of graves, however, the legislators took
d step, the Importance of which they
never realized, and the facts alleged
in the case follow Ever since the
Chicago & West Michigan railway was
built, it's western terminal was at New
Buffalo, where it formed a junction
with the Michigan Central, over the
tracks of which it entered Chicago. AS
the business of the road developed, it
was found that the trackage charges
made inroads into the income of the
company to the point where it was
deemed desirable to do away with them.
Accordingly the heads of the road de-
cided to build their own line into Chi
cago, and accordingly, through their
agents, began to purchase rights of
way wherever desired. Most of the
proposed route ran through the sand
dunes along the upper end of Lake
and Porter counties, and here the
Knickerbocker Ice company, of Chi
cago, owns vast tracts of land from
which it takes sand for it's ice houses
and for building purposes in Chicago.
The new route of the railway will cut
through their most valuable sand de-
posts, and the Knickerbocker company
steadfastly refused to sell.
Only a few weeks before the open
ing of the legislature the railway COM
pany announced that it proposed to
bring condemnation proceedings to Sc
cure possession of the land, and then
was Matched the bill which has rem
dered it impossible for the railway to
complete it's line. First of all, the COM
pany secured collection of what is
known in medical colleges as "stiffs,' -
to the number of 40 or so, and these
were buried at intervals, properly
marked, all over the tract. The next
step taken was to prepare the grave
yard bill, which was introduced by Rep
resentative Patterson, who was inno-
cent of the motives back of it, and
passed without discussion by both
branches of the general assembly, I'M
der the superstition on part of the mem
bers that it was designed to thwart the
attempt of some cold-blooded railway
corporation: to desecrate some old-es-
tabished burying ground around which
clustered historical associations. The
graveyard is still there, and the peo-
pie in the northern part of the state
are wondering what move the Chicago
G. West Michigan will next take in it's
endeavor to reach Chicago.-Indianap-

FOND OF TOBACCO.
a Trainer Says That Many Wild An.
finals Have a Liking for
the Weed. =

II have been an inveterate user of
tobacco in some form for the past, 40
years, and during that time have had
much to do with all sorts of wild beasts,
which have found are nearly all, more
or less, partial to the smell or taste of
the weed" observed an old and expe-
rienced animal trainer to Washington
Star reporter. For instance, the COM
mon brown bear is so fond of the fumes
of tobacco that if you blow smoke
! through the bars of it's cage it will,
with evident delight, push forward and
rub it's back and head against the iron
bars over which the smoke passes. This
is invariable. Not long ago I blew
through hollow stick a pinch of snuff
nto the nose of a sleeping lion. The
brute shortly after awoke, : sat. up
straight, sneezeds violently, and then
.ay down to sleep very contentedly
again. All goats, deer, llamas and so
IN will chew and eat tobacco and snuff
with great eagerness. Monkeys and big
balloons also breathe with great sat-
.sfaetion the smoke from cigars.
II once made very vicious llama, be-
longing to a circus, my friend by feed
ing it daily with a small quantity Of
snuff. One day when the show was in
Brooklyn, N. Y, several men-o'-wars-
men came. to see our exhibit of tame
and wild animals. When the men got
20 the Enclosure where the llama was
xept, one Of the company commenced

AS TO PENSIONS.


There is some warm public criticism
in New York city over the discovery
that many police pensioners are not
only we'll to do, but are drawing large
salaries for services rendered outside
the city government, and particularly
over the case of one man who draws
$1,000 per year from the pension fund,
and yet has gotten back on the force
at salary of 81, 400 in addition.
These are undoubtedly bad cases, but
they don't differ much from those of
tens of thousands of men who are draw
ing pensions from the government
while hale and hearty and abundantly
supplied with this worlds goods and
earning snug salaries or wages. Men
go after government pension because
they are pretty certain to get it, wheth-
er or not they are entitled to it or
need it. and the result is $130, 900 900
per year as grand total The New
York police are simply following bad
precedent.

RUSSIA UPTO MISCHIEF.

While publicly lamenting the failure
of the Peace Conference at The Hague
to come to a general understanding,
the Gear is steadily pushing his prepar-
ations for war and conquest in the far
Orient. Not less than $4,000 of the
finest troops in Russia have been gath
cred at Port Arthur, with 10000 others
within easy reach, and vast stores of
supplies and military equipments have
also been accumulated at the same
place. There is no known necessity
for this mobilization of men and mu-
nitions in southeastern Siberia at this
time, but it is not being done for fun.
