why She Loved Him So

The memoirs of Jules Massenet bring
nm an incident of his courtship told by
Couuelin. 1t seems that when Liszt.
Sgambati and Massenet were studying
together in Rome they all became fas-
'cinated with the daughter of an aristo-
cratic Frenchman. The trio spent
their spare time composing and play
ing themes to the object Of their affec-
lions. One evening the young woman
showed marked favor to Massenet, and
he proposed to her, after having asked
her fathers consent. He followed her
TO Paris in a few days, where he was
accepted by her and the marriage soon
took place. One day Massenet said to
his bride before party OF friends:
my dear, do you remember the day
you first showed me that you preferred
me to Sgambati and Liszt?" yes
well, do you know, besides proving t.
me that you loved me, 1t also gave me

The school authorities of Yankton,

ton in a manner which they find salts
factory and which they recommend to
others. The city purchases the books
and rents them to such pupils as desire
1t. The annual rental ranges from ~
cents for set Of the lowest grade
books to IS cents for set OF the high
est grade. 1t is found that the books
last well, and that the rentals pay q
small profit to the city. Under sucn an
arrangement children OF famiiies
which can afford 1t are likely to pur
chase the necessary books, while those
who for any reason do not wish to pur
chase can obtain their books at nom
inal expense and without loss Of self
respect or cost to the city.

A rival of cottonseed oil as a substi-
tute for olive oil is promised In corn oil.
This is one of the by-products OF corn.
On every kernel of this grain there Is a
little fieck of yellow, known by the ex-
perts as the germ" Before corn may
be shipped for export this germ must
be removed, else rancidity Is almost
certain to set in, and the cargo Is In
danger of being destroyed. The pro-
cess for the removal of this germ IL
known as degerming, and its prosecu-
ton results in the production OF an
oleaginous substance, the only use for
which hitherto was as substitute Tor
linseed oil in the manufacture of paints
and for lubricating purposes. Efforts
have been made from time to time to
utilize 1t as food-stuff, but failure to
deprive it OF its unpalatable qualities
has rendered these futile. 1t Is now
announced in the West, however, thai
a process has been devised which II
warranted to clarity. deodorize ant

The general impression regarding the
Hungarians la the Pennsylvania coal
regions is not favorable. Witness Is
borne, however, by the Wilkesbarre
News that the Huns are becoming
more respectful of law, better edu-
Gated, and, singularly, that they al
ready own half of the saloons in Luz
zerne County. In other lines'of trade,
too. these people are found, and there
is full evidence that they will become a
strong factor In political affairs of the
wyoming valley. They are quick to
learn in the schools, and most OF the
older generation are well-to-do and
have acquired much property. Two
thirds of the crime in the coal regions
could be laid at the door of the Huns
in past years, and often they escaped
punishment because they feigned ignor-
ance before the courts that they had
violated the law. But the Judges nave
since discerned that the Hun was mol
as innocent as he looked, and the lines
have been drawn tighter about the Tor
eigners, with good results.

Beekeeping Is on the increase In Ire

1893 was a very favorable one Tor

it is satisfactory to learn that the total
production of honey in the country dur
ing that year-1S9S- a very SUD-
stantial increase on the figure for Its
immediate predecessors. In 1882 the
total production Of honey In Ireland
had fallen to less than 100000 pounds.
Last year it amounted to over 52o,0OO
pounds. This by far is the highest to-
tai reached during the past ten years,
the best record previously being helo
by 1889, when over 100000 pounds
were returned as having been pro
duced. In 1897 the total production
amounted-to only $4,000 pounds, and
In 1896 only 274,0O0 pounds were pro
duced. OF the total of over 52O,OO'
