yesterday, and Tyler stated that Major
Wills spoke for Mr.. Evans, saying the COM
missioner was willing to bury the hatchet
and have harmony in the state.
The statement given out by Mr. Tyler has
caused big sensation In this city and all

portuguese Reciprocity Arrangement.

The error in the Portuguese reciprocity
arrangement which caused it to be with
held for revision, may prove more of a COM
plication than was at first supposed The
arrangement in its present form has gone
through the Portuguese Diet, so that it is
probable that its revised form will have to
be submitted to the diet, thus causing con-
siderable delay in putting the ARRANGEMENT
into effect. The error relates to the rate of
reduction on still wine.

The Result of the Conferences.

1t is out of these general talks between
the President and his Cuban callers that
the reports now in circulation in Cuba
have originated. Some of the reports have
been considerably magnified and have given
the impression that there has been some
new and specific declaration of policy as to
Cuba. As a matter of fact however, the
talks quite general and informal, the
President being desirous of hearing all
shades of opinion on the future of the is

The pictorial postal cards of Ger.
many, which furnish the imperial mail
department. with an eyer-increasing
amount of revenue, have for some time
been assuming a decidedly artistic
character. Ii now appears that even
the masters of German art do not
disdain to take a hand in this direc-
ton. A Berlin paper warns the col.
l2ctors of picturesque "Ausichts- Kar-
ten to look our for Il new one, which
is to he issued by a committee Of the
'Intelnationale Postkarten Geseli
schaft" The artist in this case is no
other than Adolph Won Mcneil, the
president Of the Berlin Academy of
Arts, and one of the five foreign men,
bers of the British Academy of Arts.
The subject of the picture is a night
scene in a Berlin cafe; and as the NUM-
Der of copies will be limited it is quite
certain that the card is destined in
time to command n very high price 1t
seems rather strange that this feature
of mail devices has not yet been intro
duced in the United States
Even the kaiser's visit to Palestine
has been used as the subject of pic
torial cards, for every effort is being
made to keep the famous journey be-
fore the German mind. Palestine
thalers have been coined with the fig
ure of the imperial couple on the face
and a guardian angel distributing
wreaths with both hands. God the
Almighty His Guidance" is the in
scription on these memorial coins.

Queer sights Abroad.

When | was in Aix-les- Bains last
summer, saw a stout German woman
sitting at another table eating from an
enormous pile of plates. | thought at
first she was carving or doing some
thing Of that kind, but as the meal
progressed and the pile became no less
l made inquiry and found out that she
was extremely nearsighted, and the
pile of plates-exactly 10 in number
was necessary to raise her food to a
point where it would come within her
range Of vision. She was no less a
parsonage than the Duchess of Sles-
wick Holstein.
In Italy they do not use glass in the
windows on account of the expense
and replace it with wood or other ma
terial In order to relieve the monot-
ony, | suppose, they have habit of
painting household scenes on these
blank spaces. In one window you will
see an old chap reading his paper and
In another a young miss doing up her
hair. There are also other scenes of
even more intimate family character,
which | will leave to your Imagination.

something or other, which, | remem-

Alfalfa For Farms

We have talked about alfalfa as a
crop for the far west, says The Rural
New Yorker. Somehow people have an
idea that it is designed chiefly for the
great western ranches where stock is
grown on an enormous scale and where
farming is conducted in a wholesale
manner. Experiments with alfalfa at
the New Jersey station indicate that
this plant win be Of service to the small
farmer as well. The acre of alfalfa at
New Brunswick has proved successful
through this dry season. There are many
men with small farms who have not
considered it wise to try to produce the
hay and fodder needed for their stock
They usually feed their sweet corn
stalks and buy hay, because it would
require a number of acres to produce
sufficient supply of timothy, and these
acres will produce far more when plant
ed to other crops. 1t now appears that
a single acre well seeded to alfalfa
would give them about all the fodder
needed to carry their stock through the
winter. Such are the enormous posi-
bilities of this plant when properly
grown and cared for that it will often
pay the farmer who cultivates a few
acres of high priced land to put suit
able acre into alfalfa. 1t is thus plant
not only for the wholesale farmer, but
for the high grade retailer as we'll

Adjustable Statutes.

France is an art-loying country. and
the producer of many noble works of
art. Its people are also economical.
That quality perhaps accounts for the
new style of adjustable statute which

throughout France just at present.
That's because all the official resi-
dences, postofficeS, council chambers.

Unfortunately. Every smile brought
the new teeth into view more prom

were false and the people began to
smile quietly themselves. But even
then the woman was not sure that her
new treasures were properly observed,
and, drawing in her lower lip, she
brought her upper teeth down upon it

finger, looking off into vacancy mean

sciousness.-New York Times.

1t is a remarkable and instructive
fact that the career of four of the
most renowned characters that ever
lived closed with violent or mournful
death.
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights Of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more TO conquer, died
of intoxication in a scene of debauch,
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried ter
ror to the heart of Rome itself, after
having crossed the Alps and put to
fight the armies of the mistress of
the world, was driven from his coun-
try and died at last of poison admins
tered by mis- own hands in a foreign
land, unlamented and unwept.
Caesar, the conQueror OF 800 cities,
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped in the blood of a million of his
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely Punishment upon bar
rem rock In the midst of the Atlantic
ocean. f"s
Such the four men who may be con-
sidered representatives of all whom
the world calls great, and such their
end-intoxication, or poison, suicide,
murdered by friends, lonely exile!

Not the Same Genesis.

A well known divinity professor, a
grave and learned man, had five daugh-
tiers, whom his students irreverently
named Genesis" Exodus" "Num-
bers," "Leviticus" and deuteronomy.
Beginning his lecture one day, the
professor said, Gentlemen, | wish to
speak to you about the age of Gene
sis.'
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
Genesis is not so old as you sup
pose" continued the professor.
More roars-so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time to
think before he made the next remark.
He said timidly-and he managed to
hit the mark this time:
Il may not be thinking of the same
Genesis as you arew

One of the advantages in keeping
.heep is that they do not need an ex-
pensive building as shelter. A shed
open on one side suits them as well as
a tight barn and even better, as they
require considerable ventilation. But
it should be SO arranged that both rain
and snow can be kept out of it, for the
sheep should not get their fleece wet
in cold weather. 1t takes too long to
get it dry again, and the whole body
gets chilled, reducing vitality, even if
they do not take colds to set them
coughing and running at the nose. Nor
should water be allowed to run into the
shed from outside. A sheep will not lie
down in tne mud or on wet straw
Keep the inside of the shed dry and
well Uttered with clean straw, and the
