PEACHES AND BLUBBER.
Both Were Easily Obtainnbie In the
Land which the Professor Knew
Nothing About.

Canadians are very touchy on the
subject OF climate, as Rudyard Kipling
discovered when he somewhat thought
lessly dubbed the dominion Our Lady of
the Shows. When Arthur Stringer, the
young Canadian poet and author. first
went 10 Oxford, he carried with him
letters from Prof. Goodwin Smith, of
Toronto 10 Prof. York Powell, the dis
tinguished historian Of Christ Church,
says the Philadelphia Post.
The old Oxford don. like one or two
other Englishmen, had very vague
ideas about Canada, and somewhat sur
prised the young stranger by inquiring
if he got along nicely on English roast
mutton after living so long on frozen
seal meat. The young poet gravely pro-
tested that he perhaps missed his whale
blubber little, but the next day cabled
home, and in less than week the finest
basket of autumn peaches ever grown.
in Ontario, carefully packed in saw
dust, was on its way to Oxford. A
short time afterward the young au-
thor was again dining with the regius
professor at ONford, and that gentle
man produced al the meal a fruit dish
loaded with tremendous peaches.
Most eXtraordinary,' said the old
professor, but these peaches were
sent to me to-day, and I'm blest if |
know who sent them. From the south
Of France, | suspect, so ! saved "a few
Of them for you. Stringer-they will
be such a novelty. you know"
The Canadian very quietly took a
steamship company's bill Of ladng
from his pocket and handed it to the
professor. The professor gazed at the
bill. and then at the fruit, then at the
poet
IL had some whale blubber. too, pro-
fessor," said that young man, but |
simply had TO eat that. These other
things were grown on my unce's farm

has 200 bushels of them every year, and
he sent me over a basket of little ones,
along with the whale bubber."

WIRELESS TFLEGRAPHY.
Experiments on CommunicntionB e-
tween Balloons Six Miles Apart
and One lille High.

Experiments were lately made at Vi
emma on the possibility of communica-
ton between balloons and wireless
telrgraphy, and they mot with some
success. \ captive balloon takes the
place of the tall mast as used in the
Marconi system. A copper wire is
stretched between il and the earth.
where the transmitting apparatus is
placed, the second balloon. which as
cends freely, carries the receiving in
strument and is furnished with a wire
90 feet long hanging downward from
the basket. The balloons received and
transmitted messages up TO n distance
OF six miles and at an elevation of about
n mile. OF course, the great difficulty
will be TO establish Transmitting sta
ton in free balloon. both on account
ofthe weight OF the necessary apparatus
and also because there is danger of
discharges from the powerful con-
denSer so near the infidmmable gas of
the balloon. Future experiments will
be looked for with interest by all who
are engaged in making "A study Of wire

A TAME WILD RABBIT.
IN Apimni That Is Difiicult to DOmes-
ticnte--A Hunters story
of One.

Two sportsmen lay in a Montgomery
county field the other day, smoking and
rejoicing in the possession of good
string of rabbits. says the Philadel-
phia Record. Did you ever see a
tame wild rabbit? ?" said one of the
men. NO, they say they can't tame
the wild ones" the other answered.
"My boy used to have some domestic
rabbits, though" well. my boy had
tame wild rabbit" said the first man.

he would take all three out for an air

pavement, going slowly along behind
my boy, the rabbit and guinea pig,
with the little alligator waddling awk-
wardly in the middle. They were the

KAISERIN NO HOUSEWIFE.
Dinners Ordered by the Emperor.
But the Empress superyises
the Dressmsking.

II is a popular custom TO represent
the German empress as being above all
a good "hausfrau" and one interested
in little else than household manage
ment. This tradition, says the New
York Tribune, is viewed with a certain
amusement in aristocratic Berlin cir
rles. The fact Is that the empress has
so little TO do with the Housekeeping
of the palace at Potsdam that she reie-
gates to the emperor the daily task OF
receiving the official whose duty 1t IS
to supervise the management OF the
royal household.
1t was the consort of the late En-
peror Frederick, born princess royal OF
England. who first took personal charge
of the Prussan royal establishment.
The greatest extravaganza and waste
prevailed before she and her practical
husband took the matter in hand and
effected sweeping reforms. Their eX-
ample is followed by the present eIn-
peror, who never gives the simplest dim
ber party without first calculating the
exact cost per guest.
The little daughter Of the emperor is
receiving a careful education in all do
nestle branches, but the empress takes
no interest in any except that OF dress
making. Most of her own and her
daughters dresses are cut and made un-
der her supervision. a large staff Of
ncedlewomen are employed, and one
French or Niennese model gown is often
copied in number of different colors
and fabrics The empress dresses with
much elegance, but she has no particu-
