The Kaiser Writes an Oratorio Book.
The current number OF "Le Menes-
trel'' is responsible for the statement
that the German emperor has blos-

This time he has written the libretto
Of religious oratorio which will be
produced at Berlin in the autumn. It
is not stated whether the Kaiser will
compose the music for his poem. It
is at any rate certain that among his
multifarious journeyings and occupa-
tions he cannot have had time to study
music theoretically or thoroughly. We

A MUMMY MYsTERY.
Remains Found Of Woman of Gigantic

hen01ns Found OF Woman Of Gigantic
Proportions .-.
q There has just come into the Dos
session OF the Historical society OF
Kansas most interesting and remark
able relic of the days when giants trod
the earth. The relic consists Of the
mummif1ed body of a woman of gigau-
tic proportions, in whose arms are
>clasped the remains of an infant. The
bodies were found in a cave in the Yo-
semitic valley. There was no clew to
the age of the mummy, and so far no
authority on archaeological subjects has
been bold enough to go on, record with
an opinion regarding the probable time
In the eartt's history when the mother
and babe were living beings. The in
formation SO far gathered Is somewhat
meager, although those most interested
in the matter are doing their. best to
arrive at some plausible theory. Here
is the signed statement of the histori-
cal society, which throws as much light
on the subject as it is possible to obtain
at present: I'VE have no history of
the relic, excepting that G. F. Martin
dale, whose home is at Scranton, Usage
county, Kan, left it as a temporary
deposit with the Historical society. He
reported it as having been found by a
party of prospectors in a cave in the
Yosemite valley, in California. He
says he is endeavoring to trace it's his
fnryr
matters of this kind are uncertain as
to the probable origin of the relic.
The mummy \is feet inches in
length, 141A at the shoulders, and 18
inches across from elbow to elbow, ap-
pearing very narrow for the height.
There is a necklace about the neck,
consisting of perhaps leather cord, in
which two or three slender white teeth
are inserted Coarse black hair shows
in the wrapping about the neck. The
shroud has the appearance of very
thin piece of buckskin, badly worn
and frayed about the edges, covering
the head like hood, and enveloping
the greater part Of the body. It seems
to have been divided below the knee
and drawn up about the leg and laced
at the foot and ankle. The color of the
mummy is dusty gray, much like an
old chamois skin, which has been wet
and long, exposed to weather and where
the heshsis exposed it presents the ap,
pearance Of old putty" y."-Pittsburg

His Mother Died Believing Her son to
,.E II BE Alive. 40 a
The saddest episode is that known
as the mystery. Of Johann Orth, one Of
the most remarkable romances in the
dynastic history of Europe in thisfcen-
tury, says the Strand Magazine. The
Archduke John Salvador of Tuscany,
a nephew Of the Emperor Francis }Jo-
seph, had fallen in love with an ac-
tress and singer, Ludmilla Hubel, whom
he married in spite of all family oppo-
sition, renouncing at the same timesall
his rights, privileges and rank and
assuming the name of Orth, aftersone
of his castles. The romantic marriage
was celebrated secretly, but in a per
fectly legal manner, by the registrar
OF Islington, and was witnessed blythe
consul-general of Austria in London.
Johann Orth next bought in 1891 asf1ne
ship in Liverpool, which he renamed
Santa Margarita; and so anxious was
he to guard against the. vessel being
recognized that he stipulated that.Sall
drawings and photographs of it should
be handed over to him, and these he
burned with his own hands. More
over, he caused all portraits and mega
tives of himself and his wife I'd be
bought up at any price, and these were
likewise destroyed We are giving
here only absolute facts. Shortlyaft-
erward the ex-archduke and his wife
set sail for South America, andthe YES
sci was duly reported to have arrived
at Montevideo and departed for a5des-
ttnation unknown. But from thatEmo-
ment every trace was lost of the ship
and all on board, no news as tosher
fate having ever been heard, although
many search has been made alongsthe
coast by order of the emperor of Aus
tria and his government. Adventur-
ers and treasure-seekers have been at
work, as it was we'll known that5Jo-
ham Orth had on board over quar-
ter of million pounds in specie; It is
believed that he intended to have
bought an estate in Chile with the
money, and to have settled there, but
that the vessel foundered off Cape
Horn during a terrific storm, which
ragged off the coast shortly aftergth
ship had left. From time to time3since
then the most startling rumors have
been set afloat about the missing prince
having turned up, one being that he
had been one.of the leaders of the Chill

ure among his crew, burned his ship,
landed on lonely coast, etc. His own
mother, who died only a few months
ago, believed her son alive to her very
last hour, and expected his return. The
Swiss government is of very different
opinion, and assumed the death of the
archduke, and paid over to Frau Orth's
next of kin a large amount of money,
which Johann Orth deposited, as a set
tlement for his wife, with the Swiss
authorities before his departure, and
there is little doubt that the Santa
Margarita lies at the bottom of h3
sea, and that all on board perished.

J. W. Vale, in an address before
Missouri poultry-raisers, said: +
have friend who has been raising
Light Brahmas for several years and
has been very successful in the big
shows with them, who told nae last
year that he used to think no fowl
laid as we'll in winter as the Light
Brahma, but after trying the Lang
shan for four years he said they laid
a great deal better. in the winter than
the Brahmas. He also said he did not
believe there was any kind Of fowl in
the United States that equalad the
Langshan as a winter layer
Judge c. A. Emry, after breeding
them with several kinds for about
fourteen years, says they are the best
winter layers Of any he has tried. T.
could name a number of others who
have tried them with other fowls as
egg. producers and whose testimony
would be in favor Of the Langshan
There are but few instances where the
testimony is the other way. AS sit

very seldom break their eggs, and as
rule are not hard to break from

great many wean their chicks too soon,
but they go to laying as soon as the
chicks are weaned g..
The Langshans are very hardy, do
not bag down at 2 or 3 years old and
become worthless. I have some Lang

five years ago, and they are some Of

zGorst,' the head of the British educa-
uonal department, is in serious trouble
and has been threatened by Mr.. Eben-

city of Portsmouth, in the kingdom of
England, with prosecution under the
"imposters' act" It seems that the

Ing the damnable and heretical doc
trine that5the earth is a sphere. Sir
Johns attention has been called to this
dissemination OF seditious and trea-
sonable doctrine, but he has refused to
correct the abuse. Ebenezer and his
friends know, of course, that the earth
is as fiat as pancake. They have
been patient, with. Sir John, and day
after day have allowed the false teach
ing regarding the shape of the earth
to go on, but can stand it no longer,
they say, to see their children cor
rupted with this most "heretical doc
trine," as the complainants call it in
this protest. Sir John Gorst. has many
political enemies, and even his politi-
cal friends do not always agree with
him; but the depth of his depravity was
not known until he was unmasked by
Mr.. Ebenezer Breach and his friends.
Sir John may cavort about parliament
and deceive some people, but when he
runs up against body of respectable
British taxpayers, the bulwarks of the
throne and the guardians of the consti-
tuition, 1t is another matter. Such new
tangled ideas as that of the earth be-
Ing sphere he may impose upon, the
frivolous persons who riot in the un-
godly city of London, ,%but not upon the
taxpayers of Southampton. Ebenezer
and his friends mean business, and
have served formal notice upon the
Portsmouth school board that the
teaching that the earth Is a sphere
cannot be allowed to continue under
any circumstances, plea or explanation
whatever /, and that it, must be aban-
Edonea under pain off HE pun hment
for schism by the law provided" After
having stamped out the dastardly doc
trine in the schools of Southampton,
the committee announce that they will
next go up to London and bring the
London school board before the courts,
being well advised and informed that
the same doctrine regarding the shape
OF the. earth is also taught in the Lon
don schools. Sir John, meantime, is
to be brought to court and prosecuted
under the "imposters' act' aforesaid
Now, the t'imposters' act'' is a part of
the British constitution, probably
no one knows what is, and what is
not part of that nebulous thing-and
provides certain pains and penalties,
such as forfeiture of estate and burning
at the stake, if recalcitrant. Ebenezer
and his friends are worthy and reputa-
BILE citizens and mean business. If
necessary they will light the fires of
smithfield again for the wicked Sir
John. At last accounts Sir John was
still at large, and so was Ebenezer.

Transmitted Equine Infirmities.

Hereditary entailment is not con-
fined to deformity, says Newark Call
It is now certain that all defects are
transmissible and that accidental de-
formities frequently become perpetu-
ated in the progeny. But it is not
alone physical deformity that may be
entailed. Habits, popularity of tenn.
per, behavior, and many singularities
are transmitted with unerring certain
ty. Few trotting sires or trotting dams
produce speed uniformly, but the trot-
ting instinct and the disposition to do
nothing but trot is so strongly hered-
itary in so large a. proportion of the
progeny that the. absence forms the
exception to the rule. The whole prob
lem of heredity presents the most in
teresting phenomena. The lessons that
are being learned from the wonders it
presents to the material universal are
of incalculable value to the scientific
breeder. To him heredity has a wide
significance. He takes advantage OF
the hereditary tendencies toward good
qualities and works, from those that

j. c. POTTER IN TROUBLE.

The John c. Potter, Meier master.
81 days from Newca stle with cargo Of
coal, went ashore at Kalepolepo, Maui,
at II a. m. May Is, while making for
Kihei, a distance Of about Ave miles.
Purser Beckley of the Kinau tells the
following story of how the Potter was
saved:
"Tbe Kinau made Kalcpolepo at 4
a. m. the next day. A ten-inch hawser
was Immediately passed to the Potter
and we started to haul her bow from
her dangerous position. The Claudine
arrived at $3.50 a. m. and she also
put out ten-inch hawser.
1T was not long before she parted
this and was forced to go to Kihel Tor
more hawsers. Arriving at Kalepolepo
she put out nine and six-inch hawsers.
Shortly after this, the Kinau parted her
hawser but soon had another bent.
"At 1880 p. m. we succeeded In get
ting the Potter off. The Claudine con-
tinued on her way and we towei the
vessel to Kihei where it was found she
was leaking badly.
There is no doubt whateve. that
had not the Kinau and Claudine hap
pened along, the Potter would have
been a total wreck as she was in very
perilous position.
