WH EAT IN GEORGIA.

It isn't all cotton in the South these days. At the meeting of the Georgia Wheat Growers association the other day some interesting and significant facts came out. The attendance was
 much larger than anticipated, several
 hundred farmers being present, and
 great interest was manifested in the
 proceedings. A feature was the award
 ing of special premiums offered by the
 Macon Telegraph to the four most suc-
 cessful wheat growers in the State.
 There was a large number of contest
 ants, and the results achieved by the winners show that Georgia soil can be made to produce large yields of wheat. The first prize was awarded to Mir. w. w. Walker, of Spaldng county, who raised 147 bushels and 56 pounds on four acres; the second prize went to Mrs. M. G. Wilson, of the same county and sis- ter of MT. Walker, for a yield of 135 bushels and pounds on four acres The other winners were but little behind those named. MT. Walker and Mrs. Wilson eowed the wheat from seed that had been in their family for fifty years All the samples graded as No. l wheat. A number of the wheat raisers gave their experience and despite the season was an unusually unfavorable one, all were fully satisfied with results. Several speakers took the ground that the raising of wheat and other home products had become necessity In Georgia. The practical result of the convention was the determination of the farmers to enlarge their acreage in wheat, next year, in order that middle Georgia at least may be independent of western millers.
 Cotton at five cents pound is a pow erful incentive to diversified farming.

Appleton's Popular Science Monthly for August will contain an article by Appleton Morgan on the result of the last five years of legislation against drunkenness. Two very surprising conclusions may be drawn from the authors statistics; first, that the fewer the places where liquor is sold the larger the consumption of liquor; and, second. that the larger the consumption of liquor the less the drunkenness.

A fortunate animal is a little black and white kitten which recently attach ed itself to the Church of St. Augus- tine, Highbury says the London Tele- graph. In spite of the efforts put forth by the officials to induce her to leave the sacred precincts, she returned again and again, her persistency in the end bringing it's due reward. A lady connected with the church set aside a sum of money to be devoted to the com- fort and maintenance of the cat. As a protection against bad weather, a neat little kennel has been erected at this 1ady's expense in cosey corner of the grounds, while the purveyor of milk and the cats meat man supply her daily needs. The protection of the law is also informally extended to the new tenant, for the consta bles on point duty at the spot show warm interest in the kittens welfare.

Laws regulating the operation of au- tomobiles on public highways have re- gently been adopted in France. These provide that the machines must be so constructed as not to allow any matter to escape which might cause explosions or unpleasant smells. They must be built so as not to frighten horses, so that nothing will obstruct the view of the driver, so that they may be lit up after dark, and the handles regulating the machinery must be so arranged that the driver can work them without talk ing his eyes off the route he is following. Every vehicle must be provided with two distinct systems of brake, each cap- able of shutting off automatically tho force of the motor and bringing it under instant control One at least of these systems must act directly on the wheels or axles in such a manner as to bring them immediately to a standstill. All carriages exceeding 250 pounds in weight must be able to reverse their machinery and run backward. Foreign vehicles must be passed by the French authorities before they are allowed to run in France.

In some of the newest model gowns the apron overdress appears draped on the hips. This is a bad sign, especially as the dresses referred to are charming. The material was crepe in one case and beautifully soft cloth in the other.

The Hon. Addison c. Harris of Indiana,
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
p~otentiary to Austria Hungary. is in a
sad plight, but the plight would be sadder
were it not that Mr.. Harris is a wealthy
man. Upon a salary of $4,000 he will
soon be compelled to sustain two lega-
tons and to support the diplomatic honor
of the United States in two countries,
both of great and %undoubted Importance.
1t all comes about through the latest
move of Emperor Franz Josef, the mon
arch who, after having been quiet for so
many years, is now distinguishing him.
self by many deeds quite at variance with
those that nave characterized his reign
w to this time.
AS every one knows the kingdom Of
Franz Josef consists of the two countries
of Austria and Hungary, which are
known under the compound name of Aus
tria-Hungary. Hungary was conquered
long ago, and for more than two genera
tions it was treated as a slave country.
Up to within 20 years ago it had no stand
ing nor representation in the court Of
Austria, and was given less than half the
amount Of rights and privileges now
granted Ireland by the government OF
Great Britain.
But the new emperor fancied Hungary
and gradually extended privileges to her.
He gave her more representatives and al
lowed her to send ENJOYS to his court. He
lightened the taxes of the Hungarians
and gay them almost equal advantages
with those enjoyed by the Austrians.
The Hungarians, always a clever peo-
pie, showed their appreciation by taking
advantage of the fine school systems
opened up to them, and also by promptly

1t has turned out that Hungary has grad
ually improved in it's condition until the
fact of it's 'servitude," as it's early state
was called, has been little noticed, and its
Importance has advanced proportionately.
Since his widowerhood the emperor has
turned toward Hungary in a most singu-
lar way. At one time it looked as though
he expected that the coming heir to the
throne would rise out of Hungary; and
one of the mobiles of the court of Austria
went SO far as to declare that the en-
peror had actually decided upon placing
an heir from Hungary upon the COM
bined thrones of Austria-Hungary. This
startling rumor has not, however, been
borne out by facts up to the present date.
Emperor Franz Josef began early this
year buying property in Buda-Pesth,
which is the capital of Hungary. He not
only purchased city lots, but he bought
farms and obtained an apple orchard at
a very large price. He also built a resi-
dence.
But few were prepared for his latest
move, which is the declaration that Aus
tria and Hungary shall enjoy equal
rights; that they shall be joint capitals
of the Austrian empire, and that the en-
peror shall maintain court in both places.
During six months of the year the court
shall be held in Austria; during the other
SIX months the couiV Will assemble Ia
Hungary.
Vienna, which has hitherto been the
only capital of the Austrian empire, will
now be compelled to divide honors with
Buda-Pesth and for six months the
latter city will entertain the court at
taches which We're formerly all the year
round in Vienna.
At first glance this would seem little
to concern the American minister to Aus
tria -Hungary, but when you learn that
Minister Harris must support a legation
in both cities then you get an idea of the
expense entailed by the change. The
United States has a great number of sec
r~etaries n under-officers abroad con-
nected with each legation, and the ex-
pense of hiring these comes largely upon
the minister, who must provide certain
clerks himself. But more han that, he
must hire the house in which he main
tains his offices, and must. of course, pay
q round sum for it. Then there is the
matter Of housekeeping. for the minis
ter must entertain lavishly.
Up to this time the court of Austria has
been such an elaborate n that it has

Hungary and Austria equal has stirred up
a great tuTcoil in Norway and Sweden.
King Oscar has always lived in Sweden.
He occupies a beautiful place in Stock
holm, and never goes to Norway if he a
help it. Once a year he is supposed to
spend two weeks there, but even this
short visit is omitted on the slightest pre-
text. The Norwegians, who have long
been disconnected, declare that unless
King Oscar makes them equal to the
SWedes in this respect, they will rise up
against him. They want the same rights
accorded to Norway as to Sweden. They
want the court removed to Christiana,
and to remain there six months in the
year. They want the royal palace rebuilt
and refurnished They want the equal
rights accorded to Sweden and now that
they ave the precedent of Hungary be-
fore them they demand it.
1t is all very well for Hungary, and not
bad for Austria, but how is it for Minis
ter Addison c. Harris of Indiana, who is
compelled to maintain two magnificent
legations in the finest of style all upon a
paltry $4,000?

The American minister will be COM
PEELED to hire an elaborate home in Buda-

entail the hiring of a double set of serv-
ants and the keeping of them.

CITIZENSHIP IN VARIOUS COIN
r. TRIES,

1t has always been the policy of wise
states, especially of those connected with
commerce, to open wide the door for the
reception and naturalization of foreign
ers. But there are none the less some
very striking differences in the laws CT
nations as affecting the strangers within
their gates.
Great Britain, for instance, differs ma
terlally from continental nations in the
opportunities she offers foreigners resi-
dent in that country to "naturalize"-
that IS to say, to become on an absolute
equality with the "natural-born subject"
It's rules are very simple in the matter.
Any foreigner who has been a resident in
the United Kingdom for five years, and
intends to go on living there, has only
to apply to the Home Office, giving full
particulars of his birth, means Of SUBJ
sistence. and stating his intention to re-
side in the United Kingdom. for a certifi-
cate of naturalization to be supplied to
him. Then all he has to do it to take the
oath of allegiance to Her Majesty Queen
Victoria, her heirs and successors. This
done and the certificate registered at the

Home Office, and he is as much a Briton
as II he had been born there.
! ~ austria a stranger may acquire
rights OF naturalization by beng en-
ployed as a public funct.onary. But as
tnere are only a very few FOREIGNERS who
hold public positions, this is a small fac
tor in the situation. And even If ono
served IN the Austrian army, one is not
granted the rights of citizenship. The
authorities only have the power of grant
ing naturalization certificates to indi-
vlduals who have been conducting a pro-
iesslon IN the country for 10 years. SO
that IN this anti-democratic land for
elghers are absolutely debarred from cit:-
zenship.
is certainly better in his re-
spect. There one need only be nominated.
not appointed to any public office to be-
come a citizen, and though certain ex-
ceDt1ons are made as to Jews. still the
authorities are empowered to naturalize
any stranger who can satisfy them as to
his being reasonably ~well-conducted and
having a means of livelihood.
Eoth Austria and Germany are alike in
one bad respect, however. Nc German or
Austrian may leave his country without
permission, and even if that is gwen they
forfeit-theoretically, at ~least-their citi-
zenshio.
Some nations are very jealous of taking
a man back once he has, by naturalizing,
ceased to be a citizen of the land of his
birth. France, in this respect, has per-
haps the wisest rule. A Frenchman ceases
to be a Frenchman if he accepts office
under a foreign government without per-
mission, or even if he establishes himself
abroad for a lengthy period. But he can
again be a citizen of his own country by
re%nouncing the land of his adoption and
applying to be reinstated.
This, on the whole, is the most intricate
phase of the naturalization question. and
despite the fact that there is a consider
able body of international law on the
subject, di~sagreements between states
frequently occur, and have sometimes as
sumed serious dimensions. 1t has also
cropped up in the Transvaal controversy.
Up to very recent years England did
not allow an Englishman who had natur-
allied in another country to become
again a British subject; and even now.
once he has repudiated his nationality he
{ ses, for the time being, to be under
British protection, or any more concern
to Britannia than a Pole or a Spaniard.
Russia has very funny naturalization
laws. Any one may become a subject of
the car by taking the oath of allegiance
to him, and this he can, if he chooses, re-
nounce at pleasure. But with natural
born Russian subjects the law is ex-

Thousands of little apple trees, some al
