Two Tons Of Art.
Heaviest Picture In the World
Makes a Journey.

The huge picture 81 feet long and 16
feet high - that has for so many years hung
on the wall of the Great Hall of Christs
Hospital, London, was removed recently.
1t was painted by Antonio Vario, between
1854 and 1890, s'to commemorate the foun.
dation and endowment within the hospital OF
the Royal Mathematical Scholarship by his
majesty King Charles III, in 1878 and
1857
1t has, therefore. been part of the famous
Schoo! for over two hundred years, and il
has not been removed for over seventy five
years. Charles Lamb aud Ooleridge must
both have gazed with awe at its immense
size and strange drawing, for Vario, like
many another court painter, was mighty
poor artist.
Christ's Hospital is doomed, however, and
the great picture is to go TO Horsman with
the BluecOat boys. So under the careful
supervision of @. w. Carey, the keeper o.
the picture gallery of the Royal Holloway
College. 1t was lowered from the wal witt
pulleys and carefully and gently laid on tht
ground.
Its weight is two and half tons, ant
Mr. Carey proudly says ''it is the larges
aud heaviest picture in the world"
The canvas is to be taken out OF the fra
me and cleaned before being re-hung.

Fares to be Raised Oh LOudOn'S 5
"1uplenn Tube :
Stockholders Complain of not
Getting Enough Returns.

T,centy five hundred stockholders of
London's "Tuppeny Tube" think that they
are not getting enough return for the money
they invested. With the present fares they
get an annual dividend of only % per cent.
Therefore they are demanding that the fares
be raised from twopence to threepence or in
our money from four cents to six. Such a
change would, they say, raise their annual
dividends from % per cent. to y and would
increase the value of the stock accordingly
Then they propose to put on each train one
''first class" carriage and charge an extra
penny for admission to it. How London
will take the proposal to raise the general
fares of tbs "tube' remains to be seen, but
it is not likely that any such step can be
taken without much protest. AS to the
placing of " irst.class" carriages on eacf
train, it is remarkable that this has not beer
done before. The Englishman is so wed
ded to his old fashioned ideas, the outgrowtf
of the stage coach, that it is surprising tha
the absence of such carriages did not br:ns
more letters in the ''Times" than it did.

Tho Way They Wash ORANGES
N California.
Great Pains Taken in Prepar-
ing Them for Market

The following description is taken from
the 'sHerads of Los Angeles, the Centre
of the California, Orange district:
Fresh from The tree, an orange is still
very much alive, acith the oil cells expanded
and the mystery of growth not yet suspand-
ed. Gut off from the sap supply, change
takes place. The skin drslcs closer to the
pulp and gives of moisture that would cause
sweating if the fruit we're packed at once.
But first these dust-stained travellers must
have bath.
By the bushei-if only this were the land
of the good old el-basked-the neEcom
ers are dumped into a long, narrow tank OF
water, at one end of which is a big acheel
with tire Of soft bristles. The wheel re-
wolves so that the lower edge works IN con-
nectioa with another set of brushes in a
smaller TAX below. and the oranges, after
bobbing abont in the big tank, pass between
the acct brushes and come cut bright and
clean.
This washer is neat machine, and does
away with the more primitive yet plctur-
esque method Of hand washing.
At sore of the smaller packing houses
may still be seen groups OF women, some

AT the lower end they roll of into boxes

An orange needs deal of grooming, il
would seem, before it is ready for market
The washing was not enough There must

that runs between revolving cylindrical

.Pita0e Condition Of The
Mad King Of Bavaria.

Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria has just
celebrated his fifty third birthday according
to despatch from Berlin. His condition
grows worse and he now presents pain
fully pathetic spectacle. His eyes have lost
all expression aud his voice is growing fee
bic. The hair on his head and his beard are
while and regged, as the appearance of a
barber provokes violent proxyman.
Ills face is the color of parchment. The
only sign of recognition he ever gives is a
feeble smile. He smokes cigarettes perpe-
tuslly and alternates between semi starys.
ton and wild voracity.
His doctors say he may live five years
unless an internal hemorrhage occurs.

seed wheat from Central crsnea.

H F. Toevs calls the Newton Republi-
cans attention 10 plan which has been
lnauguarated by the state grain Dealers
and iniilers' associations which viii un-
doubtedly prove very beneficial TO flae
farmers of the country-a plan of which
they should know and ia which they
should take an interest.
Every farmer is aware that in order to
produce good wheat it requires the right
kind Of seed. Since The hard winter
wheat variety, known the Russian
Turkey, is the best adopted to Kansas soil
aud climate and in quality for flour Is
equal TO any grown ia the world. it is
very important that in order to preserve
the reputation which it has gained that
the quality of the wheat be retainsd; and
rs it rs a known fact that from resolving
til e same for Il number of Years the
same ground, the quality deteriorates 50
thai in many localities it has changed 10
a yellow; softer berry, instead of the
original dark red hard wheat, which de-
mands ., premium OF two aud three cents
on the market, it has been recommended
! by the Interested grain dealers and mill
ers that lot or fresh seed wheat be inn
ported from where it was originally
drought III 1873. and furnished to farmers
at actual cost.
Nj. A. Carlton, government cerealist,
was sent to Europe and Asia last summer
TO select and gather suitable varieties OF
gram for the United States, aud he ad-
| vises that the hard winter wheat for Kan
sas should be obtained from central
Crimea, where he found a colony OF
| Mennonites who make speciality of rails
i ing pure, clean, hard Turkey wheat, anc
as this crop is of good quality. free from
smut any Objectionable weeds, Mr.
Carlton thinks it is the proper time to i'm
port "a lot of this wheat for next year.
seeding.
Accordingly the associations wish te
know what amount can be placed with the
farmers OF the state and to that end asl
everyone interested TO subscribe for the
amount he wishes to procure, for whicI
purpose a contract blank is prepared
which can be found at the office of e ever,
elevator or mill i'll the state.
It is estimated that the stock may cos
