The most literary monarch In
Europe is without doubt the young
Victor Emmanuel of Italy. He knows
English, French and German equally
as we'll as his native language, and has
even reading acquaintance with that
very difficult language, Russian. He
spends at least three hours every day
IN his study busy with current litera-
ture Of every kind. He is said to pre-
fer the monthly reviews to daily jour-
nails; but, however this may be, it is
quite certain that no monarch alive
keeps himself more thoroughly posted
IN all questions Of the day He has
more than once astonished English
visitors by his intimate acquaintance
with the intricacies of their party poll
tics and social questions, in which lie
is Eetter read than many members Of
the British Parliament
At the power house of the Raleigh
Street Railway, Tuesday morning,
Walter Martin, an employe, aged about
Il, was Instantly killed by electricity.
He was showing the machinery to E.
L. Taylor, a new employe, the two
standing in front Of the switch board,
and in some way Martin got hold Of
TWO D1adeS or the switch. He was in
a circuit about Is seconds receiving a
1,10O-volt current. Taylor pulled him
away from the switch. Martin had
been with the company about year
and a half. He has brother, Edwin,
who lives in Norfolk, and who is en-
ployed on a steamship line between
Newport News and New York. His
father, E. M. Martin, is a tax appraiser
at Raleigh.
Cuba has been suffering from long
period Of extraordinary drought and
! heat. Vegetation in and around Ha-
vana was scorched as never before
known. Seldom is summer heat more
intense than that which has prevailed
since the 1st of February The Cubans
fancy that the climatic change was
-, caused by the eruption of Pelee, but
no scientific man would accept that

CORN POINTERS.

The main point with corn is to get
the ground in fine condition, and the
rest is to use the harrow over the corn
fields as soon as the young corn is up;
after that the cultivator cannot be
used too freely. Grass should never
be allowed in crop of corn. It is not
sufficient to cultivate the grass out
after it has come up. The grass should
never be allowed to even get a foot
hold. There is nothing more unsightly
than a crop of corn with grass and
weeds growing therein, hence use the
cultivator often. -

THE MILK'S FLAVOR.

In an experiment made to determine
the absorptive powers of milk there
was inclosed in jars portion Of milk,
and in different jars, but not in con-
nection, different substances, giving off
flavors. At the end of eight hours 4
portion of the milk was drawn from
near the bottom Of each jar, by means
of pippette, so as not to disturb any
part of the milk. In every one-of
fifteen trials-the milk had absorbed
the flavor to such an extent that it had
penetrated the very lowest stratum.
