Booker Washington always comes up
with practical, sensible talk. He dis
sects the scheme Of deporting the ne
groes to Africa and says 1t is impracti-
cable, and points out that there is no
habitable part of Africa that has not
already been portioned OUT and divided
up by the European powers. 1t would
be better for all concerned in many re-
spects if Bishop Turner's idea could be
carried out, but it is utterly utopian.
The only thing is for us all to do the
best we can here in America.

COSTLY CAKES.

Four thousand five hundred dollars was the cost of the cake provided at the wedding of John Jacob Astor to Miss Willing of Philadelphia.
 The wedding cake provided on the marriage of the Princess Louise with the Duke Of Fife was also made by the queens own confectioner; it weighed 136 pounds and was nearly six feet high.
 The Princess Beatrice's wedding cake was worth $1,500 It weighed soc pounds, was nine feet high and five seet around. Six months it took for modelling the ornaments, among which were 1 800 sprays of sugared leaves of ivy, roses, clematis, honeysuckle and other plants. 1t was made in the royal kitchen and was sent to Osborne in a special van, twelve men lifting it.
 A leading firm made an enormous cake for presentation to Queen Vic toria on the occasion of her jubilee. It measured nine feet six inches around, ten feet high, and weighed over a quar- ter of a ton, without any ornaments. A cake sent to Dr. Behrend by the congregation in Brooklyn upon his 50th birthday was a valuable one. for the top was ornamented with $500 in gold coins.

Although the power of this magnetic island is not so great that it can draw the nails out of ships, as was told of the legend ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bernholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- ble to ships in quite another way. for the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes a vessel to tnrn perceptible aside from it's course. The effect of the island magnetism is felt at a distance of about nine and half miles On the island ef G a lone of the Argyllshire Heb ridesl, tate about three miles north vest of Rum, there is a hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the conIp passes of vessels passing aear f. he island IS a mile in breadth

Somebody Was To Blame.

NOmeBOuG was AO 4SA~1ANs
 "Ah! said Mir. Wickleson, as he was hunting through the china closet for the screwdriver, that looks Ike pretty nice cake. 1 guess I'll try q piece of it."
 Then he looked around, to make sure that neither his wife nor the hired girl was near, after which he cut off big piece of the angel food and gulped it down.
 4 moment after he had succeeded in crowding the last bit through hia throat he began to htccough, says the Cleveland Leader.
 "Blame the luck" exclaimed MT. Wickleson, as he rushed to the lee chest and looked in. T wonder why they never keep ny-hic-Water on ice! If there'd been-hic-any here, l might have stopped these con-hie- founded things.
 By the time he had succeeded in get ting the glass of water that he wanted the hiccoughs had got thoroughly un- der way, and, although he took nine big swallows without drawing his breath, they wouldn't stop.
 "Where's Mrs.-hic-Wick1eson?" he asked the girl.
 She's next door, think
 sWhy doesn't she-hic-stay at home when I'm here?" MT. Wiekleson groWl- ed as he went out and sat down on the front porch.
 For half an hour he sat there agoing It" like a clock and eursing h 'uek. He got sore across the middle; remem- bered that he had recently read of number of people who had died of hic- coughs, and was as mad as hornet when his wife finally returned.
 ''Why, Alfred" she said, what's the matter?"
 "Hiecoughs! Don't you-hic-know hiccoughs when you hear 'em?"
 Have you tried holding your breath and counting fifty 2"
 ''Ye-hic-es!
 "Go and take nine swallows of wa ter.''

 Well, don't get impatient, dear she said. q told you the other day that you ought to take something for your digestion. You're all run down. The hiccoughs prove that I was right. Your stomaeh's out of order or you wouldn't have them"
 "Oh, don't make a--hic-fool of yourself" retorted Mir. Wickleson. My digestion hasn't anything to do with it. If you and that fool girl knew how to run f ings around a house maybe these troubles wouldn't come up. Why the dickens don't you have some place for your cakes and things where a person won't be finding them in front of him all the time? You haven any more idea how house should be run than a 9-year-old child. Or, at least, keep some water on ice, so that one can get drink without waiting to fix it up."
 "Oh, I see" Mrs. Wiekleson return ed. Tt was all my fault. Well, Pm glad of it, anyway. I'm glad I was to blame. If hadn't been, you might not have had chance to become an- gry enough to forget to 'hic'|

The terms offered to the peasants were dmple. They were given a three years, ease of the land oH eonditAon that hey should cultivate it with maize or wheat, and that one-third of the crops
 hould belong to Prince Barberini and he other two=thirds to the peasants. The first harvest of maize has now 'een reaped, and the results are most ncouraging. The value of the .rop is calculated at $500 lire, and third. iqual to about 80 pounds, goes into he pockets of Prince Barberini. The wheat has just been sown, and it is xpected that it will produce 12600 ire, of which 4,200 lire, or 160 pounds gill belong to Prince Barberini. who sill thus have 240 pounds a year out of and which has yielded him less than 0 pounds year.

Ringing Granr..

King Rlng Grapes.
 From Farmers Review.-This proc sss is the removal of a small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstrueting the down ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities in the portions oa the cane above the ring. and to supply these 0ortiors richly with food materials. EXPer.n1o~ts were tried last summer to tes' tbe results of ringing on sev- eral y.4sties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June 27 and July 5, when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most cases was one-half inch, but on some canes only one-fourth inch. The fol- lowing notes taken at the time of rip ening indicate the results on each variety:
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and a day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be larger, of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes.
 Brighton showed no difference in quality or size, but three days differ enee in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size, the berries averaged one-fifth larger on the ringed than on the unringed canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines.
 Agawain showed only a slight differ ence in size and earliness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no perceptible difference in size, quality or earliness.
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that on the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only a small section of the bark had been removed.
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark overgrew the sections from which it had been re- moved Where the bark oyergrows the section about the time the first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terial in the cane is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and the fruit ripens with only normal quan- tity of food material present. If the section is not overgrown, the excess of food remains, the fruit is forced to ripen with this excess on hand, and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section of bark to be removed should vary according to the yigor of the cane and the variety. On strong canes of vigorous varieties three fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-fourth ot an inch may be sufficient.
