A Model Plant is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL station? One eener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Plows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from Is to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away WITH i1igh-priced
engineers, and ONLY have one engine to

waded through a sea of blood in order
to reach the throne which Is elder
brother had for some unknown but po-
tent reason been forced to abandon in
his favor.
1t was only after Constaines death
| that Nicholas, by a ukase dated Sep
TENDER 10, 1881, invested his son Alex
ander at that time fourteen years old
with the title of Czarowitz, and al
though the latter lived to succeed to the
| throne, yet he met with an appalling
death, the entire lower part Of his body
being blown to peices by the nitro
| glycerine bombs of the Nhilists in 1881.
His eldest son, Nicholas, was invested
with the title of Czarowitz at the time
of his accession, in 1856, but the young
I Prince died eleven years later at Nice
of tuberculosis of the lungs brought on
in the same manner as the malady to
which Grand Duke George has just
succumbed, namely, by blow from his
brother In the chest, delivered either in
the course of boxing or during some
rough horseplay. The only difference
between the two cases is that, whereas
it was the elder brother. the present
Emperor Nicholas, who struck the blow
that eliminated in the death of the late
CzzarowitZ George the other day, 1t
was the younger Subsequent Alexan-
der IT'D whose blow caused the prena-
ture death of Czazrowitz Nicholas in
1866, almost ON the very eve of the day
appointed for his wedding. Just before
Czarowitz Nicholas expired he placed
the hand of his bethrothed In that Of
h ,nY'., hi
to marry. Their consent to his dying
request was given with manifest re-
luctance on either side, but, to the as
tonishment of all. the match turned out
ultimately one of the happest Of royal
or imperial unions In modern times
His eldest son, the present Emperor
while still Czarowitz was murderously
assaulted in Japan, sustaining at the
hand of his would-be assassin injuries
from which he has never altogether re-
covered, and now we have the sudden
death of Czarowitz George after ca
reer shrouded in almost as much gloom
as that Of Czarowitz Constantine Like
the latter, George had a morganatic
wife, who died under such peculiar cir
in 1894 as to give rise to the
suspicion Of foul play, and he lived to
such degree in retirement that few of
his brothers subsjects knew him even
by sight, while his name was rarely II
ever mentioned either officially or 9TH
erwise. His relations with the present
Emperor Nicholas III were quite as
strained as those which existed be-
tween Czarowitz Constantine and
Nicholas |, and, in one word, the same

were covered with horrible wounds eX-

went on without respite. The prisoner

THE BARBAR1TIEs OF FASHION,


If ladies have not hitherto realized
| the enormous destruction of bird-life
caused by the use Of egret feathers FOR
the decoration of hats, they can no lon
ger plead that excuse for wasteful
and cruel fashion. Our frequent pro-
tests are now reinforced by the official
figures contained In a consular report
issued yesterday on the trade of Vene-
zuela There are two sorts of egrets,
or white herons, hich breed largely In
South America, the greater and the less.
Both are remarkable for their beauti-
full milk white pumage, which is, in
deed, to those unfortunate birds fatal
gift.
The facts set out by Mr. De Lemos,
British Vice-Consul at Ciudad Bolivar,
show that if the process goes on for
many years at the same rate, the birds
must in time become extinct. Nearly
900 of the smaller breed have to be
killed, and little more than 200 of the
larger. to make about two pounds of
these particular feathers. Striking an
average between the two, and taking
the whole amount exported last year,
we find that the number of egrets
killed was more than a million and a
half. In Venezuela we presume there
is no Society for the Protection Of Wild
Birds. But there is in Hanover Square;
and 1t would do we'll to renew the APP
peal to the better feelings of women,
which did for a time produce some eff
feet upon society"
But "aigrettes" other words, the
feathers of the egret-are, unhappily,
just now in fashion The t1adespeople
who make a profit out of them have an
easy mode of quieting scrupulcgs con-
sciences, If a lady seems to hesitate
on the score of humanity she is at
once assured that the feathers are only
artificial But, in most cases. these
limitation feathers are merely the
spoiled ones. The difference in price
may be the difference between four
shillings and ten. But the difference
in cruelty in nothing. There are, no
doubt, artificial airgrettes which may
be bought for a shilling a piece But
with these we are not concerned They
are not sold by smart milliners. Surely
there must be plenty of other ways In
which ladies could adorn themselves
without resorting to the wholesale de-
struction Of the feathered race The
slaughter for which they are directly
responsible is perfectly wanton, for the
simple reason that they would look lust
as pretty as quite as well dressed with
out them Yet a whole species is being
merely from want of
thought, but no defence is possible for
sheer want OF heart.-London STAN J

for these experiments, which were be-
gun in 1892, and q small greenhouse
erected in which the plants are kept
during the night and in rainy weather,
but at other times they are rolled out
into the air. This is easily accom-
plished, as the pots are all on trucks
which may be moved at will along the
tracks, as shown in the illustrations.
For portion of the season oats and
beans were grown in duplicate samples
of typical soils. After the crops from
these plants had been harvested, the
soil in the pots was again prepared for
planting, and a crop of buckwheat
grown. By this means two crops are
secured during each season, so that
the value of the experiment is largely
increased, in consequence of duplicat-
ing the data obtained.
Very careful attention is naturally
given to the water supplied to the
pots, and formerly at proper intervals

Went to Jail For a Dog.

Mark A. Diamond, who died at the
Charity Hospital here recently, had
become locally famous on account of
his love for his dog.
Three times Diamond had been to
jail to save the dogs life, and the dog
survives his master. It was not dog
with pedigree upon which Diamond
lavished his affection, but q plain
everyday cur with bad temper. This
bad temper caused all the trouble.
The dog bit child about year ago
and Diamond was arrested on the
charge Of keeping vicious canine.
Recorder Finnegan gave him the al
tentative of killing the brute or going
to jail Diamond went to Jail. The
same thing happened over again when
Diamond had served out his first
sentence.
The second term having expired, he
was again with his dog, which cele.
brated his release by biting young
man ten days ago. Diamonds health
was poor and the case against him was
continued two or three times, the &C.
cused saying he would suffer impris'
onment again rather than have his pet
put to death. On his way from the
Court House several days ago he fell
unconscious in the street and was
taken to the Charity Hospital, where
death came this morning. The case
has aroused much sympathy.-New

The Souls Immortality.

We board the vessel for trial trip. Her
white sails watt us by the forts and through
the Narrows and around the lightship-
Then she comes back and is anchored In
some convenient place. Suppose. we tell
you that her whole mission is accomplished
and there Is nothing more for her to do:
You ask, in wonder, "Why build her, thens
Ia It not folly to take 80 mnch pains for .
trial trip, and then leave her at her anchor
age to rot and sink?" The same
NAV be said Of the soul. This brief
life is only the t-ial trip. We pass
by q few buoys in the harbor OF eternal life,
we stem the ebb or food tide for few
hours, we just get glimpse OF the ocean
that spreads beyond our vision, and then
what we call death intervenss. With tho
great Atlantic OF Immortality ahead OF US.
Shall We come to anchor in the grave? It
cannot bo true. We were mode for eternity,
and the great ambitions which throb in our
souls cannot be stilled by death. The fu-
neral procession leaves us at the mouth OF
the harbor, aud when our friends return to
their homes we spread invisible eanvas and
sail on and on toward the throne OF God

Beer and Wine and Intemperance.

It should not be forgotten that the use
OF malt liquors and light wines has not
been found in Europe to be means Of
checking intenperance. The French for
generations have used light wines in large
quantities, and within the last two or three
decades have been considerable consumers
OF malt liquors; but in spite OF this, since
1870 they have developeda taste for distilled
spirits which threatens, il continued, to
convert those who were formerly consid-
cred, in the absence Of intoxication, tenn
perate people, into nation Of arunkards.
The same statement holds true OF Switzer-
land, where the people have for long
time past used both beer and light wines,
but are now finding the inducement to re-
sort to distilled spirits almost Irresistible.
Even in Germany, the home OF seer and
also light wines, the official reports an
nounce that there is material growth In
the average consumption Of distilled
liquors--a statement which we believe also
holds true Of the kingdom Of Belgium.

SINGULAR HAPPENINGS.
Some Uncommon Incidents of Pov-
erty, Law, Crime and Accident.
AN AUCTIONED WOMAN'S Bib.

A Pauper Woman Sold Mt Auction For
Board Bids in Herself-Feudal Pull
man Town to Bo Free-Committed
Suicide at wife's Orders-A Noun
tain Falls In Canada After a Tkau.
MILFORD, Penn. (SpeciaD.-An unfortu-
nate old woman, poor, her usefulness gone,
her friends driven from her by peculiarities
incident to old age, has just been sold at
auction to the lowest bidder by the over
seers OF the poor Of Lackawaxen Town
ship, Pike County. Despite her age, how
ever, her mind is acute, and she startled
the auctioneers by bidding in herself.
The women who was put on the block
was Mrs. Elmira Quick. She is seventy.
seven years old, and has resided nearly
the whole OF her life in Lackawaxeu Town
ship. Her sale at auction WAS in .pursu-
ance Of custom which long has pre-
vailed in that township. It has been
customary with the various poormasters
to sell tho poor OF the township each
year to the lowest bidder In preference to
being annoyed with the care themselves,
and about the beginning OF the year q
large sign with the glarlng headline, ga
Woman for Sale" can be seen posted
about tho to wnship, for 1t seldom befalls
man to become dependent upon the dig
trlct.
When the bidders assembled at Warren
K. Rutan's Hotel. at Rowland Station, the
Overseer Of tho Poor, Mr Rosencrance, a
former Pike County Commissioner, and
Warren Rutan, who also acted as auction
eers, took the floor and announced that
woman was to be "sold to the lowest bid
der for keep for the year."
The bidding started at "a week and
was very spirited. The auctioneers were
about to "knock down" the woman to
back WOO odsman for S1.50 week for board,
cotbipg,; medical attendance. etc., when
Mrs. Quick, who had been q silent list
to the proceedings, arose from her chair
and in quiet tones said:
"I will bid S5 q month. I will have no
trouble to maintain myself on that amount"
This turn In the proceedings was wholly
unanticipated, and created general sur
prise. For how was the aged woman to
live on sixteen cents IL day2 No one seemed
willing to go below Mrs. Quick's bid, and
the auctioneers saw no alternative but to
sell the woman to herself, and the papers
were accordingly drawn up.
