A VALUABLE COLLECTION.
Small silver Models OF Ships Belong
ing to Past Centuries.
OFrom the YOUTHS Companion.)

When the Duke Of Saxe-Coburg died Il
was stated that he had left a unique col
lection of nefs, which are small models of
ships executed in silver. They are very
rare. The British Museum does not pos
sess a single specimen. and at South Ken
sington they are poorly represented. The
nef believed TO be the finest In the world
is owned by the Car. II was presented by
Queen Elizabeth to the Car of that time.
The collection of the late duke comprises
more than forty nefs, and is undoubtedly
the largest and finest in existence. X in
ciudes beautiful specimens manufactured
in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eight
eenUh centuries.
Very little is known regarding the early
history of these craft, but in olden days
such models were frequently presented by
one royal parsonage to another. Their prf
mary use was in the character of a table
ornament and a receptacle for wine.
They were constructed with the greatest
care and skill, and unStinttng pains were
taken by the smiths 70 render them faith
ful models in every detail of the vessel
they were meant TO represent
As historic relics they are of great
value. since the rigs and characteristics
Of the battleships and merchant vessels of
the various periods are absolutely correct.
The manufacture of nefs seems long since
to have been abandoned Their cost was
great. a fact which no doubt helped TO
render them unattainable to any but the
most ardent collectors.

New Process for Extracting AIoistur.
From Grain Under q Vacuum.
From the London Times: A new
process for artificially extracting mois-
ture from wheat was put to a careful
test in Berlin recently. The trial was
carried out at the instance of Mr.. Yer
burgh, M. p, who sent over fifty quar-
tiers of English wheat to be submitted
to the process. The result was en-
tirely satisfactory. over per cent OF
moisture being taken from the wheat
which was a very dry sample in ex-
cellent condition-while the heat to
which it was subjected could not pos
sibly affect it injuriously. The prin-
ciple of the process viz, that of dry
ing under vacuum has been applied
to many articles OF. commerce, and the
result Of this trial is to show that it
Is equally well adapted to wheat. It
is hardly necessary to point out that
the subject is one, Of great interest to-
British farmers, who would be greatly
benefited by the provision Of facilities
for getting their wheat into condition.
particularly In q wet season. The full
details Of the trial will be laid before
the agricultural committee on corn
stores.

Residents of Racine suburb Await
Ing in Anxiety for Hienk-Up.
Racine. Wis, March 16. Residents
of Hor!ick's flats, a suburb of Racine,
are becoming greatly alarmed over the
possibility of an ice gorge forming IN
che Root river when the Ice begins to
go out. Ice in the river is thicker
this Spring than ever before known.
If gorge forms at the railroad bridge,
as now seems probable, it will back
the water up and flood the entire flats,
which are only foot higher than the
river bed. Several years ago the flats
were flooded in this way, and it was
necessary to take the people from
their houses in boats. The old hulk of
the barge Mount Vernon lies on the
river bottom just above the bridge,
and it is thought this will also help the
ice to lodge.

one moment suspected that his neph-
ew and Mrs. Harris were married. He
imagined that the little establishment
was kept up in a way which is not
an uncommon one in London, and that
now Dick was safely packed off to In
dia, he could go and make friends with
the loveliest girl he had seen for many
a day, without any more difficulty than
that of starting an acquaintance.
To tell the truth plainly, Lord Ayl-
mer had seen Dorothy with Dick sew
eral months before he carried out the
plan which had got his nephew safe
ly out of the road, and had left him,
as he believed, poor, conceited, deluded
old man, fair field; and to tell the
truth further and more plainly still,
Lord Aylmer had fallen desperately in
love with her! So desperately that he
had put himself under great obliga-
lions to his old friend Barry Boynton,
had set my lady's suspicious working,
and had made Dick detest him more
than ever, in order that he might pos
sibly be able by hook or by crook to
find favor in Dorothy's eyes. Poor de-
luded old man, if he had only known
all! If he could only have listened to
the young husband and wife discuss
ing "the old savage" and have known
all that had it's home in Dorothy's
faithful and tender heart!
But then, you see, he did not, and SO
I have longer story to tell you than
should have had it all gone smoothly
and we'll with our young couple, and
they had started their married life at
the tail of a marching regiment, on an
increased allowance kindly given them
by liberal and indulgept uncle.
The old lord had not found it an
easy matter to effect an acquaintance
with the young lady in Palace Man
sions; and really, when you think of
it, it is not always an easy thing to
accomplish, especially when there is no
help on the other side! However, this
morning, after having spent many
hours accommodating the block of
buildings called Palace Mansions, after
having driven slowly up and down
High street, after making many more
or less useless purchases in the High
street shops, and after fretting his i'm
patient old soul into a fever, he made
up his mind that he would go boldly
up to the house, ask for MRS. Har-
ris," claim friendship with the de-
parted Dick, and gradually work into
a position of friendliness with tho oh
ject of his present admiration.
This admirable plan was, however
destined never to be carried out-not
because Lord Aylmer changed his
mind, not a bit of it! He carried out
his part of it so far as to order his
carriage for certain hour, and when
that hour came get into it and to give
an order to Charles.
(To be continued.)
