that won for him his title. are dwelt
upon, while the domestic relations
which shaped his life are made the
base OF the play. Many historical
characters are accurately portrayed in
this production. Among them is Vol
taire, the great French philosopher
poet. The costuming OF the piece and
the scenic effects will be made a spe-
cial feature. Among the scenes will be
represented a corridor leading to the
theater Of the winter palace, room ad-
joining the kings apartments, and the
hills near Hochkirchen.

Opportunities for Spraying.

Just now the fall army worm is raw
aging many of the lawns in our large
cities and the owners are casting about
them anxiously for some means of pre-
venting It's destructive work. The only
remedy seems to be to spray the lawns.
Unfortunately the owners have not the
implements at hand with which to do
the work, and some of them would not
know how to do the work If they had
the implements and the materials
Most of them would gladly pay for
having their lawns sprayed, and we
believe that at such times, if some of
the students in the agricultural col
leges would take the matter up, they
might make a good deal of money.
This would be a boon to certain stu
dents that are trying to work their
way through college. In Chicago espe-
cially opportunities for such work
would certainly be found.
A few years ago the writer Of this
was In Minneapolis, at time when
the shade trees were being attacked
and stripped by insects. The whole
city was alarmed, but no one seemed to
know what to do. The trouble was
that no one man felt that it would pay
to invest in spraying pumps and ma
terials, and probably most Of them
knew nothing about such things. So
they stood by and saw whole rows of
shade trees defoliated. We trust that
this thought will be taken up by some
of our enterprising young men, and
that something material may come of
1t.

spiders In Janan.

Spiders are a serious plague in
Japan. They spin their webs on the
telegraph wires, and are so numerous
as to cause a serious loss of insula-
ton. Sweeping the wires does little
good, as the spiders begin all over
again.

Location of Incubator.-An incuba-
tor should never be placed in wet or
poorly ventilated cellar. nor any place
that would be dangerous to the health
of human beings. A dry and we'll
ventilated cellar will answer nicely, as
the cellar is not susceptible to the sud
den outside change as a room above
ground; but if at all damp, it is much
better to keep it in a room above
ground. Wherever it is kept the air
must be kept as pure as possible by
ventilation. without strong draughts.-

Sulphur and Salt.-It is still a dis
puted point as to whether sulphur
added to salt is of any benefit to cattle
or sheep, says Prof Thomas Shaw. It
has been claimed that sulphur will help
to remove the ticks from sheep when
thus fed. Whether it has any decided
influence In this direction is uncertain,
but 1t will not wholly remove them.
That it helps to preserve the health OF
cattle or sheep is not an established
fact, but there would seem to be no
harm at least from using it in modera-
ton. AS much as teaspoonful may be
added to very few pounds of salt, but
usually less quantity is fed when it
is used.

Apples for Europe.-Apples for ex-
port should be honestly and tightly
packed with sound fruit; sample bar
rels are entirely emptied in the pres
ence of the buyers. They should be
packed in clean packages, well coop
cred, and the head of the barrel
should be neatly stenciled with the
name of the variety, grade and some
shipping mark; the English law also
requires the letters, "U. S. A." to be
on every barrel shipped to that coun-
try. Export apples should be shipped
as soon as practicable after packing,
and if held in storage for consider
able length Of time, shoald be entirely
repacked. The best varieties for ex-
port are the hard and best colored
fruit.-C. R. Lawrence.

AUTocRATIc JUDGES.

No man probably can be placed in a
more perplexing position than a Judge
who has to deal with ignorant and
dull-witted jurors. A jury of this kind
of men in western court brought in
verdict of Not guilty, but recon-
mended to the mercy of the court"
The late Justice Hawkins, a learned
but eccentric English judge, when the
verdict did not suit him, sometimes
took the decision into his own hands.
After long trial of civil case, in
which the possession of some property
was contested, the jury, against the
law and the evidence, unanimously
found for the plaintiff Justice Haw-
kins listened to the verdict in amaze
ment, and then, with a shrug, said:
ut takes thirteen men to rob a man
of his house. The suit is decided in
favor of the defendant"
A certain Justice Leet in Pennsyl-
vania, in the early part of this century,
was equally autocratic in his decisions.
The country was newly settled by
Scotch-Irish Presbyterian. class of
just and religious, but irascible men.
When they brought into his court di-
vorce or civil cases which had grown
out of quarrels with their wives or
neighbors, they were not infrequently
met with refusal to listen to their com
plants. 81 will hear no statement
concerning this case from any lawyer
Do you two quarrelsome fools go home,
shut yourselves up together, and pray
to Almighty God to help you to see the
truth. Then talk the matter over
quietly alone. If you then can't come
to an agreement, you may go to law
about It," Tradition states that but a
small per cent of these applicants ever
came again before him.

Cumberland, Md, Feb. 2S.-Former
Senator Henry G. Davis, President; Carrie
ton L. Bretz, General Manager, and j. w.
Galbreath, Chief Engineer, of the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway,
made an inspection of land in South Cum
berland yesterday afternoon with the view
of improving the terminal facilities or

Meeting yard with the Baltimore and
Ohios extensive terminal in South Cum
berland to facilitate the transfer OF the
enormous freight business of the West
Virginia Central. The officials admit that
such improvements are contemplated, but
say nothing definite has yet been done.
A gentleman who is on the inside in
railroad matters stated that the confer
ence in Baltimore on the eve of the open
ing of the bids for the States interest in
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, in which
Presidents Cowen and Davis and others
participated, resulted in such valuable
concessions to the West Virginia Central
that the latter decided TO make no bid for
the canal, which would have afforded a
valuable outlet to tidewater.
The Baltimore and Ohio, il is stated,
contemplates building a bridge over the
POTOMAC below Cumberland, almost OppO-
site the Queen City Glass Works, SO that
the West Virginia Central can make di-
rect and prompt transfer to the South
Cumberland yards. Only recently the
West Virginia Central constructed a ter
minal connection with the Baltimore and
Ohio over the old canal wharf al consid-
cradle expense, but business has so grown
that still greater facilities are demanded.
Should the bridge be built the Baltimore
and Ohio, 100, may use it as short cut
west. In this way the circuit around
Cumberland, or about two miles would
be saved and an almost straight line con-
nection could be made. II is said that the
| company has had in view several years
this short cut around Cumberland. II
would not only save time, but do away
with blocked crossings in the city. The

The symptoms of disordered condition
of the stomach and the organs of digestion
and nutrition are, among others, variable
appetite, sour risings heartburn, undue
fullness after eating, dull headache, dingy
complexion, discolored eye, fluctuations in
