seed was sowi the ground remained
bare. Scarcely a sprlg OF clover came
up. The farmers were ~astonished and
scientists were called upon for a d.
agnosis Of the case. They soon To-
Gated the t~rouble-there were no bees
or other insects which could carry the
pollen from one clover blossom to an
other. This mixture must take place,
else the seed will be inert and abso-
lutely incapable Of reproduction. Bees
were imported to the country and there
was never any more difficulty about
the growing OF clover in Australia.
The bees in seeking honey from the
clover blossoms get the pollen on
their legs and wings and thus carry 1t
from one blossom to another. 1t does

Col. Higginson is one Of the old-style
abolitionists of New England. His
career has been full of struggle, adven-
ture, activity in many lines, and sue
cess In a few. He has now reached the
grand old age of n, yet his mind Is as
quick and responsive as 1t was when
he was adjutant on the staff Of Gen.
James H. Lane of Kansas, nearly 40
years ago. He was born in Cam
bridge, Mass, vas graduated from
Harvard in 1S41, and from the divinity
school In 1847, and at once took up the
pastorate OF the First Congregational
church at Newburyport. In 1850 he
left the ministry and became the free
soil candidate for congress. Failing
of election, he took the pulpit of the
Free church at Worcester, but a few
years before the opening OF the civil
war he discarded the cloth a second
time to devote himself to the agitation
against slavery.
The beginning OF the war say him a
soldier in active service as a captain in
the Fifty-Hrst Massachusetts, infantry.
He was afterward colonel Thirty-frst

regiment of freed slaves taken into the

of Jacksonville, but being wounded at
Wilton's Bluff, he resigned his com.
mand in 1864. For fourteen years he
made his home at Newport, but In 1878
removed to Cambridge. where he has
since resided, Col. Higginson's fame
depends chiefly on his articles in perl
odical literature and his poems in his

UNHAPPY BY AMBITION 81
Widows of Noted Men who Are Now
Miserable.

The recent death of Madame Ba-
zaine. In a hospital in Mexico, removes
the first Of three famous and unhappy
women whose histories are closely in
tertwined and whose ambitious
schemes have helped to shape the des-
tiny Of France. The other two are
Carlotta, the widow Of the ~ill-starred
Emperor Macmillan Of Mexico, and
Eugene, the widow Of Napoleon Ill,
Emperor Of the French. Nine. Ba-
zaine was a Mexican lady and the
friend Of Empress Csrlotta. When she
became the wife Of Gen. Bazaine, the
marshal Of France. Emperor Maximil-
ian gave her a princely dover. She
encouraged her husbands ambitious
projects and remained loyal to him
through all his misfortunes When he
was sentenced to be degraded and shot
for having capitulated to the Germans
at Metz without having exhausted all
his means of defense, his wife succeed
ed in getting his sentence committed
to twenty years Imprisonment without
military degradation. Shortly after
ward she effected his escape from pris-
on and was his comfort and stay until
his death in 1883. Nine. Bazaine's
friend and %patroness, the Empress Car
lotta, is still living in an insane asy-
lum in Brussels. She Is the daughter
of King Leopold Of Belgium. When
her husband, Macmillan, was compell-
ed to abandon all hope of succeeding
to the crown Of Austria she encourage
ed him to accept the offer Of Napoleon
III. to make him Emperor Of Mexico.
When Macmillan was hard pressed by
the republican troops in Mexico she
went to France and appealed for as
sistance to Napoleon and Eugene.
Her appeal was refused and she be-
came insane. 1t is said that she does
not to this day know that her husband
was shot in Mexico thirty-three years
ago.
Eugene De Montijo, the widow of
Emperor Napoleon Ill, has been no
less unhappy than her two friends.
Nine. Bazaine and the Empress Car
lotta. She lives a sad and lonely wo-
man in Chiselhurst, England. The
overthrow of the French empire and
the expatriation and death Of her hus-
band crushed her ambitious spirit, and
her bereavement was completed in
1879, when her only son was killed
while fighting against the Zulus in
South Africa.

The American Duel.

Two German students having quar-
relied. decided the earth was not large
enough for both Of them to live IN and
resorted to the diabolical practice call
ed an American duel" In a darkened
room the two young men drew lots,
having sworn that he who drew the
black ball would commit suicide. The
unhappy loser went to his room and
discharged a bullet into his breast,
but missed his heart, and fingered for
several days on his deathbed; his par
ents were summoned by telegraph and
besought him on their knees to disclose
the name OF his antagonist, but he
steadfastly refused, and died with the
secret in his breast. The students not
only excused his conduct, but praised
his courage, and when his remains
were taken to the railway station to be
transported to a distant city, they ac-
companied the ~funersl cortege with
torches and music. The students claim
ed he was not a suicide, for he was
killed In an honorable duel, ana t..ay
maintained that his opponent wa3 not
accessory to his death, because he shot
himself.

Charging Grizzly Bear.
"A friend of NINE says a New York
err, told me the following story about

before. The present governor was out
with a guide after grizzlies, and II
one was found the agreement was that
Roosevelt should take the H-ct sE2t,
and II he missed. the second was to
go to the guide. The governor, you
know, is near sighted and has to wear
glasses. They finally got a shot at a
grizzly and although the governor sue
ceeded in winging him the bear was
not fatally wounded, and came charg-
Ing down on them at a terrific rate.
Now, big game men unite In saying
that, hunt the world over, and there
is only one form OF sport to be found
more dangerous than grizzly hunting,
and that is a cowboy who has gone
wrong, and that he, and he only, Is
likely to give you a better run for
your money than a grizzly bear. Well,
to return to the story, the bear was
coming down on them like the Empire
State Express and emitting loud, rude,
belligerent snorts at every jump.
R~oosevelt's glasses had been knocked
off by the recoil Of the gun, and while
he could locate the bear by the row he
was making, he was without the limit
OF accurate vision. Nothing daunted,
however, and with every drop Of sport
ing blood in his veins a-tingle, he
yelled at the guide: Say, Bill, $40!
Is it my shot?' and upon that worthy
falling a victim to bribery and cor
ruption Roosevelt laid his bearship low
when he arrived near enough for him
to see where to put a shot in a vital
spot"

writer upon naval affairs. Col. Hig-

An experiment down in Australia
years ago proved that nothing was
farther removed from fiction. Origin

RECALLS OLD CRIME.
DEATH IN NEW YORK OF A
HEARTLESS BETRAYER.
He Came to the Escaped Murderer n
wanderer and Was Cared For -
Finally Concluded to Try for tho
Bsngman's Reward.

There died in a New York liquor
house the other day a man who had
drunk himself to death. His very body
had begun to decay as a result of con-
tinual s%aturation with narcotics. He
was known about the saloons as Jim,
the Bum" but his real name was
James Lesprance. His remains were
carted away to the p%ottcr's field, while
his soul fitted to the judgment, there
to stand trial for a crime for which
the laws Of human government pre-
scribe no punishment. Fifteen years
ago Lesprance betrayed into the hands
OF the law one Luke Phipps, who on
the night of August 10, 1888, shot his
young wife on a Detroit river ferry
boat. Mrs. Phipps was in company
with a man, a stranger to the murder
err. No effort was made to shoot her
companion. The shooting was done
on the Canadian side and Phipps was
at once arrested and held in the Sand
witch, Ont, jail, for murder in the first
degree. While awaiting trial he es-
capped with some other prisoners but
was IeCdDlultu III f|NlIlltl, Ill.
At the time Of Phipps' capture 1t was
given out that while under the influ-
ence Of liquor he told of the murder,
and revealed his identity; that William
McEwen, son Of the then sheriff of
Essex county, who was employed in
the Pullman offices, heard Of Phipps'
unsolicited confession. and wired his
father, who cent on deputies.
In a recent conversation with
Detective Andy Roman of Chi
cago, who arrested Phlpps, that
officer revealed to a Detroit
detective a story Of baseuess and
fngratitude on the part Of the inform
er against Phlpps, that places the first
version at naught. 1t seems that the
wifc-slayer broke Jail on November 20,
OF the year Of his arrest, with anoth-
er murderer named Greenwood and a
thief named Seers. They sawed
through the bars Of their window and
lost little time in getting out of the
queens dominions. Phipps wandered
to the Illinois town, where, in fancied
security, he started a poolroom. One

WILD AMIN ALS
Brcd in Captivity Develop Ferocity In
Spite of Training.

There Ia a current tradition that wild
animals born In captivity do not attain
the ~snvageness OF those bred in their
native jungle, and that the teeth Of
such animals do not develop as they do
In the wild state. Mr.. Alexander Day,
assistant superintendent out at the
200, whose experience with wild ami
mails has been almost lifelong, says
that he has not found those assertions
to be true. However innocent and APP
parently tame the cubs may appear. he
says, there Is a time when they attain
savageness apparently from instinct,
and show all the characteristics of the
animals whose home has always been
the forest or the plain. As for the de-
velopment Of teeth, AR. Day points for
illustration to full-grown lions which
were born and reared in captivit. ard
may be seen any day cracking bones
OF meat with which they are fed with
every evidence Of possessing the most
sound teeth possible. The only WY
In which wild animals in captivity usn-
ally suffer with their teeth Is thtt
when they are fed they may grab at
the meat which Is pushed through the
bars with a big iron fork and break a
tooth on the fork. or they may IN
jumping against the bars inJure a
tooth and suffer afterward from rs
loss. The little lions. when baby cubs,
are shy at first, then become as play
full as kittens. For the first year OF
their life usually they may be treated
as domestic animals. At the age of
about twelve weeks the cubs are taken
from their mother, but In the meaL-
time she has taught them to eat meat.
At FIRST the cubs suck n bone or a scrap
OF raw meat which the mother tears
off for them. Often they may be seen
gnawlng upon a bone which the moth
or Hon holds In her jaws and paws.
When first taken from their mother
the cubs are given finely chopped meat,
the pieces being gradually made larger
until they are given bones, upon which
they sharpen and develop their teeth.
In time the lions can crush the bones
with ease. From II to II months or
age the young lions are, 1t Is said. so
cross as to be almost unmanageable.
At the & of IL months or W o years
the cubs are taken In hand by the
trainer and then, having reached their
growth. they are ready to be perfected
in their tricks and to be exhibited. 1t
Is said by those familiar with lion
tanning and training that lions which
have been brought up al pets are the
hardest to train for performers. They
do not seem to take the training seri-
ously, and are not so easily mastered
az those which have grown to maturity
without petting.-Baltlmore Sun.

LUKE PHIPPS.

day, an old acquaintance, a French
Canadian. whom he had known long
before the tragedy, drifted into Pull
man. He was penniless, ragged and
half-starved, and Phipps, ignoring the
first law Of nature, took him in and
cared for him. He bought him a new
suit Of clothes and installed him as
his right bower in the poolroom.
The vagrant friend knew the story
Of the outcast Phipps, who was living
under an assumed name, yet the fugi-
tive trusted him. The reward offered
for Phipps' apprehension finally over
came whatever Qualms Of conscience
the fellow might have possessed, and
he resolved to become a Judas. He
revealed Phipps' identity to Rohan,
and led the latter to the poolroom,
where Phipps was innocently engaged
In a game. The informer stood in a
recess Of the door and pointed out
Phipps to the detective. The latter ad-
vanced and, tapping the doomed man
on the shoulder, said:
"Phipps. / want you for murder"
The latter's complete surprise and
show Of emotion at once convinced the
detective hat he had not been misin-
formed. Phipps wilted. He seemed to
have wearied Of the continued exile and
dread Of detection, and he simply
turned to the officer and said:
We'll, l guess it's all up with me-"
Then, turning to the man who had
80 treacherously entrapped him, he
conferred upon him the app%urtenances
and goodwill of his pool room bust
ness. He never suspected his Judas.
The latter was unsuccessful with his
ill-gotten legacy, and became very dis
sipated and finally left Pullman in the
direst poverty. He never received any
of the reward money. He drifted to
New York to die q nameless tramp.
Luke Phipps was hanged June II,
1884, and a grewsome reminder of his
crime and its expatiation is the shell
of the steamer Hope, which lies rotting
and moss-grown in a Sandwich canal.
