dairy industry of the United States
TepT eseutS invested capital of over
one billion dollars, and that the COM

that value doubled when our next

The Flight Of Empress EugenIe.

The true story of the flight of the
Empress Eugene from the Tuilleries
will soon be published. 1t is now in
the form of manuscript left by DR..
T. w. Evans, the American dentist,
who accompanied the Empress in her
fight to England. DR.. Crane, who
aided DR.. Evans in protecting Eugene
and accelerating her flight, says he
only awaits a decision Of the court be-
fore publishing this contribution to
French history. The reason why it was
not published during DR.. Evans life
time is because it deals hard blows at
those who deserted the Empress in her
hour Of trial. Now that most of the
chief actors in the drama Of 1870 have
passed away, the venerable ex-Empress
has expressed the wish that this inter-
esting manuscript be published.

| "a. H. 4 Y 2 aE3
Negroes who came to North America
had to undergo as complete transi-&

without the least chance to undergo
an acclimatizing process. They were
brought from the hottest part of the
earth to the region where the win
ter's cold is of almost Arctic severity
from an exceedingly humid to dry
air. They came to service under alien
taskmasters, strange to them in speech /
and in purpose. They had to betake
themselves to unaccustomed food and
to clothing such as they had never
worn before, writes Prof. Shaler In I
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly:
Rarely could one of them find about
him a familiar face Of friend, parent
or child, or an object that recalf.af nss
mast life to him. It was an appalling
change. Only those who know how
the negro cleaves to the familiar
things Of life. how fond he is OF.

the physical and mental shock that

A New Idea In Rat Traps.

A rat and mouse trap which has
been patented in all the countries
throughout the civilized world issuing
patents, the invention Of Heinrich
Benseler, of Beinrode, Germany. is
really an ingenious arrangement, as
the animal never gets chance even
to nibb1e at the bait, and when it once
gets into the trap it is automatically
locked there without a possible
chance Of escape. A modified form of
this bottle-shaped trap, however, is
employed for catching rats and YER
min in the house. The small end of
the field trap is inserted in the mouse
hole, the tubular passageway forming
q continuation Of the underground
passages. The animal in trying to get
the bait naturally enters the hole and
is thus induced to enter the tubular
passage from which 1t cannot escape.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.

Why So Many Artillerymen Safer From
Defective Hearing. -.,,
The stunning report of each gun as
it is fred is something that stranger
on the deck of ship of war will long
remember There is an old saying,
deaf as a post" Now in the English
navy this is changed to deaf as
post captain" No man can go through
long series of gunnery practices
without having his hearing seriously
affected. Some men put cotton in their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
| If the firing of one or two guns has
such SCATTERING power, what would
be the effect II the whole armament
were in action together? It is i'm
possible to conceive the strain on nerve
and senses of the rending conclusion.
II visitor watches the firing Of one
Of the monster nine-inch guns and then
places himself beside one of the small
er pieces, the report made by the one
will not appear much louder than that
Of the other. The extra distance to the
muzzle of the big pieces discounts the
sound. The only apparent difference
between the two appears to be that
the small pieces have a sharper, high
er-pitched note, and that the six and
| nine-inch guns speak with more Of a
believing roar. One piece of advice
may be given to any one who finds
himself in the neighborhood of a gun
in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect If you are
watching the gun as if the crash comes
unexpectedly. Unconsciously nature
prepares you to resist shock which
Is known to be impending.

belief in the lady's powers and pro-
misses, because he frequently drove to
her lodgings, and left his carriage out
side for all the world to see. The rea-
son was not friendship, but interest.
He, too, received promises. He was
at the moment impecunious. The lady
promised him a West Indian heiress,
with 100000. He called daily to in
quire after his heiress with all the
eagerness of young lover. Alas! the
heiress was never visible; she was
even reported to be laid up with small,
pox. Her visits were so useful to the
Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent
him $1,000, a step which naturally
made him believe more firmly in the
West Indian. OF course, when the ex-
pectant men found that there was
nothing for them they went to court
and saw the magistrate. It came out,
on investigation. that the lady was
not in any sense honorable; that she
was not related to any great people;
that her history was mass of lies,
and that she was nothing more than
an ex-convict recently returned from
Virginia. They kept her in prison for a
twelvemonth-the delay is not ex-
plained-and then banished her for
seven years. -
