BONAPARTIST NOBILITY.
How Number of Them Have Sue
ceeded in Gliding Their
COrOnets.

The Bonapartist nobility have tai
ent for gliding their coronets through
marriage, says London Truth. A Ney
in 1880 secured the heiress Of LATTE,
the banker. His nephew married the
adopted daughter Of Nine. Heine. Due
de Rivoli married the latter when she
was Dowager Duchesse d'Elchingen.
He and she are now prince and princess
of Essling. Most of the Murats have
married great heiresses. Prince de
Wagram is husband of a Frankfort
Rothschild. Fouche, Due d'Otrante, is
settled in Sweden, and has had matri-
monial fortune there. Due de Tarente
has just married the widow of M.
Camescasse, who was an eminent bar
rister, project of police, deputy and one
of the most amiable Frenchmen [ ever
knew. The new Duchesse de Tarente
is "boss" of the General Company of
Omnibuses and has fortune from other
sources. She has two daughters nearly
grown up who attended the wedding.
They give promise of beauty. The we'd
ding took place at Douai. Marshal
Macdonald, first Due de Tarente, was
not Scotch by birth, but the grandson
of a Scotchman who was driven by the
defeat of the second pretender to take
refuge in France. He settled at Aux
in feeling. But he was so cold-shoul-
dered by restored royalty as to be glad
of its disappearance in 1880.

MINIMUM OF SLEEP.
University Students Experiment. ting
to Find Out the Least Amount
Necessary.

A very strange experiment is being
tried py an organization of university
students in Madison, Wis, to lengther
working hours. Upon the theory that
sleep is, to large extent, matter
of habit and can be lessened by prop
er care of the system, the members
are trying to reduce sleeping hours
to a minimum consistent with con-
tinued health.
The organization, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune, is not in the
nature of secret society, but it has
been working quietly in order to get
the best representatives among the
students from the various courses of
college work. The experiment was at
first begun in the Iowa university, and
while it does not appear to take on
the character of an intercollegiate or
ganization, the Wisconsin members
have organized along the lines of the
Iowa university club. The theory
upon which the members are working
is to get such control over the body
as to keep part of the system at rest
while the other part works; in other
words, avoiding unnecessary waste of
vital energies. Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor, is the expositcr of this
theory.
The method, as given out, is to less
en- the sleeping hours gradually and
so accustom the system to it by de-
grees. The extreme limit fixes rest
at not more than four hours night,
thus frightening the working day
some three or four hours.

TEE LINDU'S RELIGION.
1t Seems to Fill All His uireme n { d
and Is Indeed Part of
Himself.

Why, the Hindu asks himself, should
he accept this western religion? He
has one of his own, ancient, potent, elias
tic; it embodies his instructive genius,
suits his special needs, is older than the
Christian, rests on thought he has
elaborated, and many western men
have learned to admire, says the Con-
temporary Review. To surrender his
religion would be to make a complete
surrender of himself his past, his sep
arate mind and being, and to become
a mere echo of the civilization he de-
spises.
The Hindu reaction is thus a very
real force, moved by reasons we
cannot but respect. Patriotism
lives behind and within it; in
it the orient stands up against the.
occident, defies it, challenges it's right
to come east and impose itself on
what is older, more congenial to the
oriental nature and too deeply rooted
to be plucked up by alien hands. And
SO we need not be surprised to find
the reformer succeeded by the reac-
ticnary, though behind the veil of his
reaction the spirit that would reform
still lives.
For the Hinduism he defends is not
the Hinduism of the multitude, the
religion of the street and the temple,
of Kali Chat and the Durga puia, of
the sacred river or caste; it is an ideal
lied system, eclectic, clothed in gar
ments which are heirlooms from the
past, but quickened by a spirit which
belongs to the present. Not all it
finds in Hinduism is Indian, but some
Of it is very occidental indeed.

Our Dumb Animals gives touching
st of the wonderful heroism of a
dog last winter in the icy waters of
Alaska. Two men and the dog start
ed out from camp to find trail lead
ing away from the terrible Valdes gla-
cier. For days they wandered in the
snow till their provisions were we'll
nigh exhausted and the men could go
no further. Then one of them wrote
a message on a scrap of paper, tied it
to the dogs neck, and told him to go
back to camp. The dog disappeared
in the snow and storm. Two days and
nights passed; when, just as they
were giving up in despair, 'out from
the binding snow bounded the faith
full dog. and close behind him came
ready hands to minister to their
wants.

pigs than I wanted to keep, SO I sold
one to: a man living in the neighbor-

living in the pen with his brothers and
sisters, and had never been outside Of
vt until the man who bought him put
him in basket, tied down the cover
and put it in his wagon to carry to
the new home. Late in the afternoon
the farmer who sold it saw something

had bought it, and the little pig stayed

and six in the southern report damage

spondents state that the ground is dry

here has been too much rain to suit
the farmers. %
Winter wheat In Indiana was badly

poor. In most localities it does not
promise to yield more than one-fourth
to one-half crop. Hessian fly has
also damaged it considerably, especial

few correspondents in the central and
southern portions report moisture de-
ficient, otherwise the supply is album

In northern Michigan, where it was
protected by snow, winter wheat is in
good condition, but winter killing and
the ravages Of the Hessian fly have not
left much in the central and southern
portions Of the state. A large part
OF the wheat area will be plowed I'M
der. What remains has improved
with the favorable weather of the last
ten days. Moisture appears to be
abundant enough to suit the needs Of
all crops, only one correspondent re-
porting any deficiency.
Ohio correspondents report condi-
tons very similar to those found in
Michigan. The bulk OF the crop has
been ruined by winter killing and Hes
sian fly. In the best reports received
not more than two-thirds Of crop is
predicted. A few counties are getting
dry, but in almost all parts of the
state moisture is aboundant and the

Speed OF separators.

z. -. Fulmer says: A separator
should always be brought up to speed
very gradually. The time necessary to
do this will be from six to ten minutes.
We have seen the flow of milk started
In separator in less than two minutes
after the belt has been started on the
intermediate. The practice Of such
quick starting should be discouraged,
a: as aside from the undue. strain given
to the separator spindle and bearings
1t is an unnecessary strain on the belts
leading to the machine. WithHa slow
er starting of the moving parts in the
bearings, the oil is given a better
chance to lubrieate the wearing sur
face, a smaller amount will be re-
CURED to do the work, and the useful
ness of the belts greatly prolonged. At
ter the proper speed has been obtained
It should remain constant at this point,
as any material fuctuation will sinf1u-
ence the skimming and the consisten-
cy of the cream. e. -. y. HI
The speed Of a separator bowl should
never be much greater than that recon-
mended by the manufacturers. While
there is large factor of safety al
lowed above the speed stamped on the
machine, we are verging near the dan
ger point when we go much above it.
Inc amount of friction is increased as
the square of the speed For instance
II we double the speed of a shaft, we
increase the friction on the oils four
times. The strain on the separator
bowls can be we'll understood from the
following supposed case. We will take
separator with a bowl twelve inches
In diameter with a required speed OF
5000 revolutions per minute, which
will give us centrifugal force of 6, 100.
II we increase the speed of the same
bowl to 1000 revolutions per minute,
we will have centrifugal force OF
S,343. In other words while we have
increased the speed one-sixth we have
increased the centrifugal force one
third. Looking at this question from
the efficiency Of the sseparators with
the same bowl we find that if. by rea--
son son OF small pulleys or slack belts, we
lose speed from 6, 600 to 5000 revolu-s
tons per minute, we lose the centri-
=fugal force from 6, $50 to 4,257, or BY
decreasing the speed one-sixth we de-
crease the Dreaming force one-third.
From this we see the necessity of run
ming separators at their proper speed.
