sIsMARck's BITTERNESS.
His story Of Forced Resignation
Strange Mixture CT EIoquence
and louuacjotIeneae.


After describing his estate. the
prince began speaking English-"so
that that fellow" pointing to the
coachman. may not understand us''--
aHd surprised mo Nv his nuency, his
command of idiomatic expressions,
and his very slight accent He began
with these words "Snce | have been
kicked out Of Office" which so aston
ished me that begged pardon for in
terruptlng him and said: Prince, that
is an Americnnism; where did you pick
II up?" He answered that he did not
remember where. but the expression
fitted his case exactly. for the manner
OF his Dismissal was but the equiva-
lent of an application Of the toe of
boot. lie then proceeded to tell the
story Of his forced resignation.
Such a rapid flow of keen wit. OF
cutting sarcasm ard bitter denuncla-
tlon as followed for half an hour had
never heard before md never heard
again. II was n strange mixture of ell
oquence and loquaciousness. Bis
marCk's voice seemed not as deep and
strong as his stature led one To expect,
but II had pleasant sound. A most
Intense sense Of the wrong and ingrat-
itude he claimed to have suffered made
itself manifest AS an example of his
unjust treatment. he recounted what
he had done to unity the nation and TO
aggrandlze the fIohenzollern dynasty.
There was not only an unhesltating as.

er of the German empire, but an al
most snoering and even contemptuous
dcureclation Of other performers In the
historic drama of his time, including
even the old Emperor William, the un-
fortunate Emperor Frederick. and the
Expresses Augusta and Fredcrica. His
language became perfect diatrbe
when he referred to the present en-
peror and some of his ministers. whom
he held responsible for his removal.
Ills expressions regarding them were
not only amazing but embarrassing to
me, as had close social relations with
many of the ministerial objects of his
BcOrn. Some of those rogues ! picked
out of the very gutter" he once said.
Fortunately, he did not stop for any
word of assent. but went right on un-
I'll his pent.up wrath was expended. As
he remarked, when It was all spent
at was quite a relief to me to have
this opportunity to speak without re-
straint TO a gentleman who, am sure,
will honor my confidence"
Even were II not for this restriction,
some Of the sayings | heard and noted
down at tho time were so extraordi-
nary that, If they were repeated, their
reality would probably be doubted.
and certainly the lese-majcsty they in
vulved would render II unsafe for me

French Iousewlfe's Thrift.

The well-known thrift of the French
housewife is reflected in the national
finances, II Is a fact that the distri-
button of wealth in France Is wider
than in any other European country.
The records of the courts of probate in
England and the notarial records in
France afford data for comparison. In
England the 6l.233 estates admins
tered last year amounted to 81. .440 ,000,-
eco. while in France 363,6l2 estates
only netted 1854. .i2520l. In o,aer
words, while the English fortunes
were much greater Individually than
the French estates, the number of
property holders in France were Ave
TO one compared with England

Cucumbers,

We have grown cucumbers in our
small garden here in New York state.
sa. a writer in Country Life, for a
number Of seasons, and the method en-
ployed for planting them has been very
satisfactory, not only because the Gu
cumbers have been exceptionally early,
but also because the vines do not suf-
fer from drouth.
We take siX-inch pot, and after
the ground has been we'll spaded and
enriched, which may be done as soon
as the frost is out, we sink the pot into
the ground and pack the earth firmly
about it, then withdraw the pot, and
there is a nice clean hole in the
ground.
, We place four or five cucumber seeds
in the bottom Of each of these holes
In a few days the seeds will sprout
and as the plants grow we fill In the
earth about them until the hole is en-
tirely filled up. BY this time most of
the danger of frosts is past and the
plants do not need protection of the
glass, but when 1t is necessary small
boxes with glass covers are placed over
each hill. Each morning the glass is
removed and the plants sprinkled. BY
this method Of planting the roots Of
the plants are so deeply grown that all
danger Of drouth Is avoided. The glass
covers keep the plants warm and,
moreover, protect them from bugs. A

Borers.

What is known as the American
plum tree boror 10 the larva of a small
moth that appears in late spring or
early summer and deposits It's eggs on
the upper part of the trunk Of trees.
The grub lives on the inner bark until
the following spring, when It pupatcs
and comes forth perfect insect
The peach tree borcr attacks the
plum, as does the nat headed apple
tree borer. The former is found near
tho base Of the trunk, but the latter
does its work farther above.
Various washes have been from time
to time recommended, the best among
them, according TO Prof. Waugh, Is
made by dissolyirg one pound of con-
centrated lyc or potash in from three
to five gallons OF water. This Is ap-
piled as a paint. the trunks and large
limbs having first been cleared Of dead
and scaly bark.
After the larva has entered the bark
no external application is of use. Tho
rcmedy then is to dig cut the worm
and kill it.

EARLY Gable Tarlfs.

In the early days of submarine cab
les the minimum tariff was S1O0 for 20
words and S. for each additional word.
This was reduced after a few years to
S25 for 10 words. In 1872 a rate Of
81 word was introduced. The word
rate system proved popular and was
soon established universally. Since
1888 the cable rate across the Atlantic
has been down to 70 cents a word, and
the tariff now ranges from that figure
to s. 4 word between England ana
Peru. The average for the whole
world Is 81 a word and this the Com
mercial Cable company charges from
America 10 the Philippines, as against
the former toll Of G23j. From New
York to New Zealand the charge is
only $3.50 a word.

which trained elephants are used to
capture wild ones, is the subject of an
article in Harper's Magazine by Allan

Prince of Siam, whom he knew at Ok
ford, and therefore had every advan-
tage of seeing the amazing and even
horrifying spectacle. The drive lasted
three days, in the course Of which sew
eral men were killed by the fury of
the wild elephants. In addition to the
tragic incidents there were many
amusing ones as well. The finest ele-
plant corps in the world is possessed
by the Siamese army and these drives
were instituted in order to capture the
best of the wild herds and keep this

Very frequently the editor of this de-
partmcnt receives letters in which
some sentence like this Is found: My
hens are laying well. but | want to
push them along. What can / use TO
produce the desired rcsults?' It may
be inferred from this that the idea Is
general that all that Is necessary is
10 feed the fowls some condimont or
to feed heavily, Of some cgg-produc-
ing food to obtain eggs galore. Ma
ture will not permit the hens 10 lay
eggs after that manner and all oao

Of corn; then, do not expect that the
hens are capable of producing any
sreat additional number OF eggs just
because you give them moro of one
kind OF feed than another. Also re-
member that the hens may be OF the

not materially increase this quantity
by any plan of feeding A new breed

and this can be obtained only by pur-
chase or by obtaining a flock with

Pre,arlnn Nests for Hens.

Every woman thinks she knows how
to ''set hem" which may be true, and
yet there may be n better way than
her plan. There are certain laws that
should be recognized in putting n dozen
eggs under n hen to be heated into
life. The egg shell Is composed OF
lime, and under certain conditions the
shell will remain SO hard that after
the expiration of n days II will not
break, and the helpless chick dies from
the confinement. The Agricultur,st
suggests an easy way to avoid such n
condition. IL Is to put soil in the box
in which the setting will be placed, and
dampen that soil every week with
warm water while the hen is inc7ibat-
ing the eggs. DO not put the nest
above the ground, as the air passing up
under the box and hen will dry out
and harden the shells. Follow these
directions and IL will increase the num-
ber Of eggs hatched.
At the time of giving the nest TO
the hen examine under the wings and
neck for lice and mites. If either are
found hold her up by the legs and
sprinkle from a little 10-cent bellows
insect powder under feathers and
wings. Mites will eat the life out of n
setting hen, and the woman will not
suspect what is the cause of her comb
becoming pale and her having no dis
position To eat. Powdered sulphur scat
tered in the nest will kill the lice, be-
cause the heat from the hens body will
change the sulphur into a gas or fume
and that will be death to the lice. To
prevent other hens from laying, too,
or disturbing is essential to prevent
the breaking of the eggs.
