ROYAL ETIQUETTE.
In Spain No Subject Is Ever Permitted
to Touch the Person OF
q King.

Old world privilege and restriction
reign supreme in Spain, where there
is a law that no subject shall touch
the person of the king or queen, says
the New York Mail and Express. The
present king of Spain nearly suffered
a severe fall from this rule in his
childhood. An aunt of his made him
a present of a swing. When he used 1t
for the first time the motion fright
ened him, and he began to cry. Where
upon a lackey lifted him quickly
out of it and so, no doubt, preserved
him from falling. The breach
of etiquette, however, was fla
grant and dreadful. The queen
was obliged to punish it by
dismissing the man from his post. AT
the same time she showed her real
feelings on the subject by appointing
him Immediately to another and bet
ter place in the royal household.
In another case a queen of Spain
nearly lost her life in a dreadful way
owing to this peculiar rule. She had
been thrown when out riding, and, her
foot catching in the stirrup, she was
dragged. Her escort would not risk
interference, and she would have been
dashed to pieces but for the heroic in
terposition of a young man who
stopped the horse and released her
from her dangerous position AS soon
as they saw she was safe her escort
turned to arrest the traitor who dared
to touch the queens foot, but he was
not to be seen. Knowing well the
penalty he had incurred, he made of
at once, fed for his life and did not
stop until he had crossed the frontier.

TRADE OF TIENTSIN.
1t Is One of the Most Important Conn
merciaI Cities of the Chinese
Coast.

The bund, or water front, gives one
some adequate idea of the commercial
importance of Tientsin. The decks
of Liverpool or New York, although
many times greater in extent, are not
more crowded and busy. Here the
lighters, anchored in the river, just
across the way from the great ware
houses, are loaded with cargo to be
sent out or which has just been re-
ceived from the ships at Taku. There
are mountains of bales done up in
mating and bound securely with iron
for their protection in the long jour
ney TO the uttermost quarters OF the
globe; there are boxes and casks OF
Chinese make marked London or
Hamburg, and in the midst of all this
merchandise throngs of half-naked
coolies swarm like insects, insects fur
nished with lusty and never-silent
voices. There are tons of wool from
Mongolia, camels' hair, skins, char
coal, and soda from Siberia, mats and
grain. One now and then has whiffs
of musty perfume, the breath of orr
entail bazars, spice and sandalwood'
It is one of the busiest spots in the
world and can furnish a succinct OBJ
iect lesson to one at all interested in
the problem of our commercial rela-
tions with the far east.

CHARGED BOARDER EXTRA.
But the Landlady Found She Hho

ing About 1t.

They were seated together in car
of an incoming suburban train the
other morning, so near 10 The Saun-
terer that he could not avoid hearing
every word of their conversation, re-
lates the Philadelphia Inquirer The
fat woman got on the train two sta
lions ahead of the thin woman.
"Well, how do you do?" the latter
began, effusively. as soon as she had
dropped into the seat alongside of the
former. "Why, how do you do? So
glad to see you. Didn't know | had
started to take boarders since | saw

The fat woman admitted her ig-
norance on that subject.
"Well, 1 have" continued the thin
woman. "How do I like it? Well, il

sented the fat woman. "Boarders who
grumble, boarders with big appetites

"My, talking of boarders with big
appetites," rejoined the thin woman
"You ought to see the new boarder

be so much food put inside of such

Why didn't tell him he mustn't eat
so much? Why, I don't want to lose

said was:

meager profits. 1t is high time that
dairying under such conditions should
be regarded at its true worth, both
for the profit of agriculture and the
quality of milk products. Do not stop
to hoe a fve-cent hill of beans, when
you should be milking a $50 cow, or one
that would be worth $50 if she were
MIXED regularly. Do not call to your
assistance a NANCY, worthless cur in
driving up the COWS, when every hur-
ried step they take causes their blood
to surge toward fever heat, and results
in milk that will undergo dangerous

n,uerrass Seeding for Lawns.

The plat intended for the lawn
should be very finely pulverized for the
reception of the seed, which should be
sown early in the spring either broad
cast or with seeder, at the rate OF about
three bushels per acre. The old|fash-
toned Kentucky bluegrass is the best
for the purpose mentioned; it makes
a good, firm sod and is particularly well
suited for turing the slopes OF en-
bankments and terraces, where the soil
is good. OF course this grass is not so
we'll adapted for hay as for pasture
No grass will do we'll where the shade
is too heavy, but Kentucky bluegrass
will do as well as any we know of, and,
kept cut pretty short, it will thrive in
light shade.-Farmers' Voice.

Recent investigation has shown that
the plant contains highly nutritious

TRANSFORMING TREES.
Earth Should BE Left C1inRSnE to the
Roots and the Trunk Should
he Lifted Bodily.

The more earth that can be left
to be transplanted, the more certain
is the tree to live. 1t is wise, then, to
dig about the tree so as to leave bunch
of earth about the small roots, follow
ing out and gently freeing the long
roots as they are met in cutting a cir
Gle about the trunk. Then the tree
must be lifted bodily, If possible. There
are several ways to apply power for

this purpose, one of the best being
shown in the cut. A tripod is rugged
with three stout poles and lever is at
tached in the manner shown. AS the
tree is lifted a new "hold" can be Sc
cured by taking up the chain on the
tripod. Where the tree is gripped by
the chain or rope at the end Of the
lever the bark should be well wrapped
in old cloth to prevent injury. If the
ground IS dry at the time of transplant
ing it will be necessary to thoroughly
wet the ground all about the trunk,
since the earth will cling together and
TO the roots much better in this way.
If dry, the earth falls. apart readily.
Elms and NAPLES are not difficult to
transplant, but oaks must be moved
with greatest care and with as little
disturbance of the roots as is possible,
If the trees are to live.-N. Y. Tribune.

LARGE MILK YIELDS.
They Can he Expected Only by Dairy
men Who Know the Value OF
Regular Milking.

Cows are creatures of habit, and the
habits of their owners are reflected in
their milk yield. The dairyman who
milks his cows at a regular hour night
and morning will secure an eighth or a
tenth more milk with them than
though there was a variation OF an
hour or two in the milking hours every
day. A writer in the Indiana Farmer
has seen this practically tested to his
satisfaction on some large dairy farms
in central New York. The methodical
dairyman, "as regular as clockwcrk,
came out ahead every time. Rightnow
is the best possible time to put this
rule of regularity into practice. Dairy
men should make ii a rule, say, to milk
their cows at six o'clock in the morn
ing and six o'clock at night. After this
rule has been once established on the
premises, it should be like the laws OF
the Modes and Persians, unalterable
and respected accordingly. 1t is such
a common occurrence to let other farm
duties interfere with the regular care
and milking of cows that it may be
hard to make some believe, who ought
to know better, that strict adherence
to method has anything to do with
dairy success. 1t can safely be SCI
down that If a man is conducting what
he calls "mixed farming" and dairyine
is part of the mixture, his cows car
be made to pay more in proportion thar
any of his other agricultural interests
This will not be consummated, how
ever, under ordinary care and usage
He must give his mich cattle extraor
binary attention in order to reap the
benefit of their full capabilities. This
mixed farming business, of which
dairyingissupposed to form an integra
part, is the cause of whole lot OF in

x.en Cows Away from Them.

Wild onions abound in many parts OF
the west, and the cows as well as chill
dren eat them. They are bound to in
lure the milk If eaten by the cows, for
the reason that onions contain an oil
that gets through the system OF the
cow and into the milk. There is DIS
pute as to whether ordinary food in a
bad state can faint the milk, by passing
through the cows, but all are agreed
that onions and garlic do. Butter thai
Is tainted with these oils does not sell

REFORMERS BEHEADED.
Cruelty of the Chinese Empress Dow
ager Is ShOckingIy Illus
trated.

When the emperor of China abdi-
Gated two years ago, forced to that
action by the empress dowager, the
latter had an opportunity to display
her sanguinary despotism, and she i'm
proved it to the utmost. Six of the re-
formers who had been held response
BILE for their too precipitate method
of recognizing the government of the
empire lost their heads, and some 300
others were marked out for slaughter.
The numbers of the prescribed have
been considerably swelled by those
who got up the petition against the
emperors dethronement. That this
was deliberately planned does not adj
nit of a doubt, though the empress
dowager did leave herself the loophole
by means of which she escaped the
consequences of her own somewhat
rash design. The child who was Sc
lected to succeed the present emperor,
and who is still his official successor,
was designated as the heir of Tung-
Chin, the emperor who died twenty
five years ago, and not of Kuang-Hsu.
By this action it was proposed to blot
out the latter from the list of emper-
ors of China, and the year beginning
with the 91st of January last would
have been known as the first year of
whatever dynastic title should be Sc
lected for the six-year-old son OF
Prince Tuan.

The necessity of cross-pollination of
fruit bloom is subject that should
never be considered threadbare. Prof.
Cook says his sister in California was
wondering, in 1891, why her fruit trees
were not bearing as well as usual. The
trees bloomed, but the fruit did not set.
Mr.. Cook suggested that it might be
caused by decrease in the number OF
bees, and accordingly an apiarist was
engaged to remove his bees to the
place, and at once there was marked
fenefit. She has kept the apiary there
ever since. She feels that she can af-
ford to pay for the presence of the BEES
and she is right. While other insects
might help pollination, this incident
shows that bees are the thing for the
business, and that in their absence the
hope of a good fruit crop rests on a
slim foundation. - s,A -, - -

LAID TO REST
Remains of Mrs. Mary Rowlett Inferred
 at Oak Hill

The funeral of Mrs. Mary K. Rowlett took place yesterday morning at g o'clock from St. Pauls church. Father Savage of Montgomery was the officiating clergyman. Some time before the appointed hour Fath- CT Savage proceeded to the residence of the deceased and there rected the first part of the burial office.
 On the arrival of the cortege at the church the celebrant said a mass of re- quiem, after which he laid aside his chasu- ble and putting on cope, advanced to the casket and delivered a short but feeling address. At the conclusion of his remarks he continued the funeral rites.
 The interment was at Oak Hill Cemetery where relatives and many friends surround ed the grave as Father Savage pronounced the impressive words of committal over all that was mortal of the saintly woman whose life will long be remembered as shining example of Christian piety and good deeds.

KANSAS CITY KICKS.
Citizens Want at Least 5000 Tickets
 to the Convention.

Kansas City, June 16.-C. A. Walsh, sec retary of the Democratic National Conl- mittee, left tonight for Chicago to com plete some work in the headquarters there before finally opening his permanent head quarters in Kansas City. John l. Martin. sergeant-at-arms has already opened permanent headquarters here.
 It developed today that considerable friction was displayed in yesterdays meet ing of the subcommittee when the local managers requested 3,500 admission tickets for Kansas City. Hon. James K. Jones. chairman of the National Committee, said he should not think Kansas City was en- titled to any tickets.
 The honor of securing the convention he thought should be sufficient J. G. John- son, National Committeeman from Kansas, took the same view of the matter. This was a thunderbolt to the Kansas Cityans, who entered a vigorous protest. They had, they declared, expended about $150,000 directly in preparing for the convention and the committee proposed to violate all precedents by cutting the convention city off entirely. Finally as a compromise the b-committee offered the Kansas City committee 500 tickets. This was imme dately declined. It is stated today that the local committee will insist upon having at least 5000 admission tickets.
