PRINCESS RUNS AN AUTO.
Blue-BlOOded Member of German
Royalty Shocks Her Com
sentative Sisters

bright young woman is Princess
Friedrich of Hohenlohe-O ehringen, and
she enlivens the traditional heavness
Of German blood with strong American
admiNture. She is the daughter Of an
American mother. The cable report 5
that the German aristocracy is shocked
beyond expression at the spectacle of the
princess taking part in the French mo,

The princess, who is handsome, ac-

au1ono ble with eat skill and abso-

The princess is not only daring au-
tomobile engineer, but she is a great
cyciist. She thinks nothing Of making

dress. without the least ceremony. This
is also very shocking to the German
aristocracy, who think that a woman

That there are still people unfamil-
lar with the telephone is proved by
the recent experience of New llamp-
shire man. He wished to have tele-
phonic connection between his house
and new one built for his sons sum

the wire over the cottage of an old
lady, to whom he applied for permis-
sion TO make the slight use of her
roof that was necessary. The old lady
gave her consent, but made "A firm
stipulation at the same time. I'm
willing you should run wires over my
roof and hitch 'em wherever YOU see

you don't use them after nine o'clock

OBSTINATE JURORS.
A Case In which One Determined Man
Made Eleven Think
He Did.

There was "hold-up" in the jury
room Of the court of common pleas in
this city u few days ago, says the
Hartford Comm Courant. A jury,
turned IA verdict for the plaintiff to
recover damages of $25 and costs.
After the verdict had been accepted,
one of the jurymen said that when
the first ballot was taken eight of the
jurors voted in favor of the defendant
and four for the plaintiff later bal
lot resulted in II votes being cast for
the defendant and one for the plain
tiff. The jurors were in n hurry to
get home and the IL who voted for the
defendant endeavored to persuade the
other juror to turn with them. This
he refused to do and he stated en-
phatically that he would hold out If 1t
caused n disagreement or kept the
jury out all night.
The one man was evidently stronger
than the il who were against him He
held to his position, and finally sue
ceeded in bringing the / over, with
the final result that n verdict was
agreed upon for the plaintiff to recov-
or $25 and costs. The II jurors who
turned would not diyulge the name of
the juror who stood out for the plains
tiff from the beginning.

OUR FISH GOING ABROAD.
Varieties Are Being Large
Iy Introduced Into Euro
pcan Waters.

There is hardly well-settled part
of our country where the aid of the fed
eral or state fish commissions have not
been invoked TO stock the rivers with
fish. This work, says the New York
Sun, has been of great value and ii is
still carried on with so much energy
that our lakes and rivers everywhere,
whose resources in fish were found to
be deficient or in a depleted condition,
are likely in few decades or less to TEEN
with fish to the value of many millions
of dollars. But while our home progress
in fish culture is pretty well under
stood it will probably surprise a good
many persons to hear that number
of European rivers that were once al
most destitute of fish have in recent
years been well stocked with species
propagated from fry obtained from this
country.
About ten years ago young fry of
American landlocked salmon were
shipped to Scotland. and British fish
ermen say they have multiplied rapid
ly, to the detriment of Scotch fish. The
French streams since the introduction
Of the American bass have doubled in
their productive value. Other varieties
of fish have been shipped to France
and elsewhere for experiments. The
American rock bass has been intro
duced into several English streams, and
the brook trout is to-day in flourish
ing condition in the clear cold streams
of Russia and other northern countries
of Europe. The waters of Switzerland
abound with many American common
river and brook fish, which make the
angling there superior to anything in
the past.

DIAMONDS IN STEEL.
Minute Crystals Seen Under the MI

In the manufacture of carbon steel
microscopic diamonds are formed. A
number Of steels from variety OF
processes have been examined and
gave identical results, says the Mining

lump of steel and treated with nitric
acid; the insoluble residue collected
was mainly graphite carbon. After
being washed with water il was
boiled three times with Tuning nitric

then remained nothing but graphite,
which, after being washed. was melt

series of operations was recommended,
because il was necessary to subject
the residue to all the treatments men
toned. The insoluble residue obtained

PONY EXPRESS REDIVIVUS.
Hebron, Ncb-vWitnesses Revival OF
Famous OId-Time Cross COun-
try Riding.

Forty years ago the great plains of
the west were crossed by set of dar-
ing riders who were known as tie pony
express" History, romance and ira
dition are filled with stories of the do
ings of this band of daring men. But
that was at Time when it was danger
Gus to stroll beyond the parade ground
at Fort LeavenWorth unless one had
a friendly standing or wholesale con
tempt for Indians. All Others who went
forth might fall victims TO war medi-
cine.
With the passing of the Indian as
predatory warrior and his adaptation TO
the arts of peace as an actor in an
open-air drama the reason for the pony
express passed also. But out in Ne
brasl<a, says the Chicago Chronicle. the
land of sand dunes, they have recently
witnessed a revival of this pony express.
Not that lack Of railroads has caused
the revival or that Indians abound, but
that the express company at Hebron
has come to the conclusion that a
municipal tax is unwarranted.
Hebron needs money, and has taxed
all companies which do business in the
corporate limits. The express com
pany declined to pay the license and
moved out. So pony express service
has been established between Hebron
and Belvidere. The latter town is bit
more liberal. so the story goes, and the
company is attempting TO hold its own
with few outriders.

BUNU AND DINIZULU.
Native Chiefs in Southern Africa of
Whom the world May Hear
II Great Deal

There are three native chiefs In
southern Africa of whom in the near
future the world may hear u good
deal -Lerothodi, the paramount chief
of the E@sutos; Bunu, king Of the
Swazis, who is only just beginning to
feel his feet" as the saying is, and
Dinizulu, the keen, clever, intelligent
and lately repatriated chief of the
Zulus, says the London Mail.
For long time Bunu's position was
akin to that OF The emperor of China
he was overweighted and overshad
owed by the queen mother, IA very de-
termined lady, indeed, and quite
character in her way. Bunu's position
has always been Il little curious, and
to this day there is Il good deal of in
decision about his movements and
character. He still lets 81 dare not"
wait upon Il would" He does not
love the Boer. Bunu, with all his
faults, is no coward and perhaps the
time is not far distant when he will
prove himself--as, he has not done up
to now-worthy to be the head of
race whose valor is undoubted.
Dinizulu, chief of the Zulus. may be
said to be on his trial. He has only
been back a short time among his peo-
pie, from whose society he in 1855 was
banished to st. Helena for rebellirr
against British authority. This was
some four years after he had succeed
ed Cetewayo. Curiously enough, Dini-
zulu's capture was effected by party
/ of Beers headed by Lulla Meyer, who
is now in command of large Boer
force against the British.

RUNG ON THE PREACHER
The Serious Duty That War Imposed
on Church Members In
Michigan Town

"You remember the chestnut bell, of
couuse?'' said the man who, according
to the New York Sun, had got out of
Chicago with only the loss of one of
his shoe heels. "Well, l was greatly
taken with 1t at the time, and when
set out to visit my old home in Michi-
gan l bought dozen bells to take
along. Nobody in the town had heard
of them, but | hadn't worn one over a
day when the people caught on and
| was fairly besieged When Sunday
came | prepared to attend church like
dutiful son, and at the proper time
mother and | were seated in her pew.
Just what the text was can't remem-
Der, but the minister had scarcely an
nounced it when six of my chestnut
bells sounded among the congrega-
ton. The good man didn't mind them
in the least, but went ahead with his
work. He was rung up on his hymn,
and he was rung up every minute or
two on his sermon, and though there
was something amusing about it [
was also half scared out of my boots.
As | had brought the bells to town
didn't know but what he'd hold me
responsible, and open out on me-.
About the middle of his sermon he
said something about Jonah, and IL
of those bells went ting" on him in
succession. He stopped and looked
around, and then calmly said:
"'Will those people who are jingling
keys kindly jingle a little softer?'
II was thankful to get out of that
church without a calamity" continued
the bell man, land | didn't do any
laughing till the next day. Then it
was because | learned that every
blessed man who had rung up the
minister was seriously in earnest
about it and felt it sort of duty, AZ &
because that minister himself called
at the house and accepted my own
bell and rung it up on mother within
five minutes!"

THE BALLET AT TAIMI.
A Little South Sea Island Girls Grace
and Nerve in Dane
ing.

A young girl endowed with no special
beauty OF feature, but possessing an air
and a hint of deviitry that would have
rendered attractive one much less fa-
vored, bounded into the center of the
room and began to dance in the circum-
scribed space between the lamps, says
Blackwood. 1t amazed US to fad in
the untutored performance of this little
South Sea islander a grace and ycrve
rarely equaled behind the footlights
i'll the civilized world. That her dance
was original the interest displayed by
the native assembly assured US. In
deed, ii seemed an improvisation of the
moment. After some preliminary
steps in time to the singing, Guilty
Sark'--as we christened her, for IA rea
son too obvious to require explanation
became holder, and, making the
captain her objective, danced at him.
Encouraged by our applause, her
abandon increased, until in moment
of extreme audacity she advanced
close and snatching up the gold-la
uniform cap which lay on the mat at
his feet, clapped it on her own head.
and, thus arrayed, executed rapid pas
seul. Then, overcome with sudden
shyness, she threw the cap down before
him, and, darling out of the circle, con-
cealed herself behind the singers.

The attention OF the Pioneer Press by
Rev. S. w. Dickinson, agent for the
American Bible society, that the first
book ever printed in Minnesota was
a Bible, and that this was printed in
1886, some 10 years before the issue
of a newspaper in st. Paul. The
Bible referred to was in the Ojibway
language and was printed on the mis-

county, under the supervision of Rev.

4 Perfect Fleece.

Many persons interested in the nat
ural history OF the sheep do not clear
~ understand what density Of the
fleece means. Wool, us it exists in the
fleece, is valued as to quantity and
quality. Quality depends on length
and closeness of the fibers. The lat
ter is the density Of the fleece. This
depends on natural popularity, and
exists in a remarkable degree in GER
tain breeds and In families OF these.
Pure Spanish merino wool has about
$4,000 fbers on a square inch of skin
The finest and densest wool is on the
shoulders. A perfect fleece will be
even in finencss from the shoulder
TO the thigh, of nearly equal length
of staple on the back over on the
sides from the shoulder to the thigh.
and equal in density on the shoulder
and back from loin TO loin. The
sheep is the most impressive of all the
domestic animals. The selection OF
the father of the flock is thought so
important that experts are employed
to select rams.--N. Y. Press.

WORLDS COTTON FACTORY.
There Is No Reason why the South
should Not Lead the
NiuFf:et.

The extension Of the cotton mill in
dustry in the south is a cons picuous
phenomenon Of the time, says the New
York World.
Five counties in the Caroinas have
for several years past spun and woyc
more cotton than is produced within
their borders. Rome, Ga. has hitherto
been the shipping point for the cotton
grown in 20 counties roundabout. This
year Rome has shipped not one bale, be-
cause her manufactures have used it all
in the making of cotton cloths.
This means that instead of selling cot
ton al from five to eight cents pound
the south is selling it, as a manufac-
tured product, at from Is to so cents
pound.
This is development upon natural
lines. The south that produces the cot
ton will ultimately manufacture it. 1t
has cheap water power. cheap labor and
the adjacency of the cotton fields to
stimulate its industry. And under mod
ern conditions of travel and invest
ment there is absolutely no reason why
the south should not take to Itself the
stupendous profits of cotton manufac-
ture hitherto absorbed by New England
and the English mills. Without doubt
New England capital will share in the
profits of the revolution by investing
itself in the south. That is one of the
privileges granted by our constitutional
system of absolute free trade between
the states
