OF BURNS BOOTS AND SHOES.

Across the grass and through the ooze,
To feed n horse or milk a COW,

He took them off and had his snooge,
Then out again among the roots
He wandered in the pair he'd choose
Burns boots o Burns bootsl
Old time, jealous wight art thou,
Thy malice swift oblivion brews.
The world has quite forgot them now,
Burns shoesi Burns shoes
Where are theyf Fame reply eschews,
And even Scotsman "hae their doots,"
Only the bill their tale renews-

Collectors vainly knit the brow,
The catalogue too late peruse.

In vain we hunt elusive clews.
Not all the wealth of Child or Coutts

DON CARLOS RUINED.
Financial Collapse of the Spanish Pre-
tender.

A new, and save to the initiated a to-
tally unexpected factor, has made its APP
pearance in connection with Carlist af-
fairs, which increases the probabilities of
an early rising. Don Carlos, says a Paris
letter in the Globe Democrat, inherited a
life interest in the large fortune be-
queathed to her children by his first wife,
who had inherited it a few months be-
fore her death from her uncle and aunt,
the royal Count and Countess de Cham
oord 1t had been generally taken for
granted that, owing to the possession of
this wealth, Don Carlos was reluctant to
abandon his life of luxury and of ease,
and that under no circumstances would
he spend a penny of his fortune upon
any 1nsurrectionary movement. 1t has
now become known that, partly through
extravaganza, partly through speculation
and unfortunate investments and partly
through the dishonesty of his agents,
Don. Carlos has managed to dissipate the
whole of his and his childrens fortunes.
ne Is today financially ruined, and during
the last two weeks has been at Monte
carlo endeavorfng to recoup his shattered
fortunes at the gaming table with the
usual lack OF success in such cases. His
IL luck there became known partly
through gossip of the frequenters of
the Casino and partly through his eff
forts to raise money, either by loan or
by SALE on some valuable and well-known
stomacher of European celebrity. Three
of the aughters-Princess Elvira, who
eloped with the painter Folchi; Alice,
married to the Prince of Schoenberg, and
his eldest girl, Archduchess Blanche of
Austria-are suing him for payment of
that portion of their dead mothers for
tune to which they became entitled on
attaining their majority, and now his
fourth and only remaining daughter
Princess Beatrice, married to the eldest
son and heir of Prince Massimo, heri-
dttary postmaster general of the papacy.
has commenced legal proceedings against
her father for the same purpose.
The financial ruin of Don Carlos alters
the entire aspect of affairs Formerly he
had no incentive to head a rising, Now
he has one, for he has in view, not alone
the crown of Spain, but the large civil
| list that goes with 1t. The throne III
| Spain and the crown property are the

How the Fruit Is Raised In Porto Rioan

When planted in new soil the banana

and have. of course, lost their natural
state of porosity. When once the soil is
ready, holes are made one yard in dame

another and about one-half yard deep.

is required, but otherwise a basketful of
