PRUNEs WHILE YOU WAIT.
Santa Clara County to Cook and Serve
 Them at Worlds Fair.

Prunes cooked and served in real California style and without cost is q feature of the California exhibit at the Worlds fair. The practical de monstration in cooking and serving this great California product is given under the auspices of the San Jose grange and the Farmers club, while the prunes are being cooked in plain view of the crowds at the fair. Paniph- lets ane distributed showing now to prepare prunes in hundred different ways, giving the public prune lesson as we'll as a prune feast.
 Another unique California prune feature is big black bear made of prunes. The figure of the bear stands twelve feet high and weighs 5000 pounds. The mimic animal rears upon it's haunches from base of clustered quartz. in which free gold is liberally displayed and holds itself up by resting it's front paws upon the limb of a tree. At the base, near the quartz, are the pick, shovel and pan of a miner. The bears teeth and claws are set with amber colored nrunes The work is so artistically executed as to closely resemble real live bear

A VIXEN'S CHILDREN
THE STORY OF BABY FOXES BORN
 IN CAPTIVITY.
Under the Watchful Eye of Noted Naturalist They Proved Inter esting studies-Actions.
 of Their Parents.

I have told before of the cubs that were born to. the Vixen and Sprite which I keep in cage in my yard, and now l will tell something of the youngsters whose first few weeks of life gave to me an interesting study.
 For the first few days after the young foxes were born, the vixen never left them, save for a few moments now and then, when she wanted food or water. She had ravenous appe- tite, and ate great deal of meat. The Sprite, on the other hand. seemed to live chiefly on air, for could not ob- serve that he ate mouthfu. He was just as eager to get the food, but, in- stead of deyouring it, he set it down on the ground in front of him, and wagging his taif raised his hand for more. When he found that he had re- ceived all thatswas coming to him, he would pick it lln, q piece at time, un- til his mouth would hold no more, and then he would run over to the den, put his head inside and make the cluckfng sound which I have men tioned before, as though calling his puppies to the feast Then, finding no response, he would take away the meat, dig 2 hole, and bury it. And he never tried to take away piece of meat which the vixen had secured, as he often had done before the puppies ar rived, but when the vixen tried to take away any, of his food, he tried to prevent her, seemingly that he might offer it to the youngsters in the den After he had buried 1t, I often saw the vixen dig it up and eat it.:
 The only food which ''The Sprite" reserved for himself was the candy which we gave him now and then. The temptation 10 eat caramel. it seemed beyond his power to resist, and he would sit with closed eyes and

ART IN TAE REicHsTAG.
Impressionists Criticise Goycrnment
 Exhibit nt St. Louis.

Exhibit nt St. L0uis.
 BERLIN, May II. - The reichstag has again interyened iii the decade long quarrel of the German art fac lions which the prepara tionse for the art exhibit at the St. Louis exposition forced upon public attention. The i'm pressionists have always bitterly re sented the emperor's partiality for the classical school, but lacked the occa- sion to appeal to the reichstag until, as they claimed, the action of the govern aent rendered their participation in the St. Louis exhibit impossible.
 There have been many debates in the reichstag on for action. A resolution was almost unanimously adopted de manding that funds voted for art pur- poses be expended among the repre- sentatiyes of the various art tenden- cies according to just principles.
 Deputy Arendt criticised the sending to St. Louis of picture by Franz Stuck after the reichstag had refused to allow it to be hung in it's precincts.
 Count won PosadoN'sky V Wehner, the home secretary, answered amid laugh ter that the picture cost $7 7.5O0. and he hoped it would find q purchaser in tho United States

 Club life appears to- be demoraliz- ing women as well as men, says the London Graphic. Tidiness and repose used to be feminine qualities. They are SO no longer. Tn womens clubs the members stroll in and out restless ly, take up magazine, glance at it., put it down, read 2 few lines of q paper, throw it away and stroll out again. Tn the reading room no people read consecutiyelY; they try to talk, ask for tea, get up and down, rustic their skirts and behave as if they were on springs. The newspapers are in variably torn, crumpled and thrust down anyhow The club room, after a few hours, looks like battlefield. One would never believe that fastidious la dies had been there, but rather set of clumsy school boys, or some rowdy men in smoking room. This want of order in their dealings at the club must surely react upon thelr< homes Perhaps that is why restaurant life is now so fashionable, and women have lost all repose of manner

Science is on the eve of attempting some great explorations in the hideous depths of the vastly deep and to hunt from their hiding places the great mon -sters that are supposed to live there, says one writer. The Italian govern ment has made the initiative andsis sending out a great steamer armed with the powerful apparatus with which science has provided the deep sea hunter for mastering the unsolved mysteries of the, ocean depths. CHI. Townsend, lately naturalist of the United States fish commission, urges our country to engage in the search and beliyees that there are creatures at the bottom of the sea as wonderful and hideous as any ever seen on land. This branch of research has always been handicapped hy the difficulty of seeing at such great depths. but now through that great invention, the hy- droscope, aided by the mammoth searehligAts that have been inverted to operate with them, We may expect wonders from the expeditions that are being fitted out Even greater wonders than the ''sea serpent" will yet be brought to view and safely lodged in our great aquarfums.

TURBULENT HAITI.
General Discontent Tn the
 Island Republic.
GENERAL PANIC AT PORT At PRINCE
Business Circles Arc Disturbed, SiI- yer Is Scarce. and Premium
 Gold Is 42O Per

CAPE HAITIAN, May 11.-W While the rumors that q revolution has bro ken out in Hayti are false, there is gen eral discontent in the republic, and a revolution is momentarily looked for.
 General Albert Salnave, notW-ith- standing the warning given him by the Dominican government, has not withdrawn and continues to gather many followers on the frontier, where the Haytian government has ordered q heavy concentration of forces. Many partisans of General Antenor Firmin, the head of the last revolution. who is now in Paris, have crossed the frontier and combined their forces with those of Salnate.
 A violent tunult among the soldiers at Port au Prince resulted in a general panic, and the runnor was then circu- lated that revolution had begun.
 President Nord has decided to resist energetically any movement looking to q revolution, and strong measures have been taken to this end.
 There is T panic in general business circles, and several large houses are likely to suspend. Silver has become very scarce and has resulted in a 75 per cent premium over paper money. The premium on gold Is 420 per cent.
 General Salnave, 9 Haytian refugee, has been warned to leave Dominican territory immediately. Under the aus ptces of General Jiminez. former presi- dent of Santo Domingo, it was asserted General Salnaye was preparing all ex- petition the object of which was said to have been the overthrow of the Hay tian government. Several attachments of Haytian troops were sent to the frontier to check any movement on the part of Salnaye.
 The same dispatch conveyed report that an agreement had been entered into by the Haytian exiles then in the Dominican republic and on the island of St. Thomas to make joint effort to re-enfer Hayti and that trouble was imminent. People in Hayt are talking of the return to the republic of Gener- als Salnaye, Fouchard and Le Comte. all former candidates for the presi- dency of the Haytian republic

New Haven, May 11.-There came very near being a Japanese battle Ill the basement of Hendrie hall one morning last week. and although the odds in numbers were against the Jap anese side there would have been T lively row had it not been that rap idly formed peace conference decided the question.
 A Japanese student. who is mem Der of the senior class, and one Of the most popular men in it, was in the smoking room in the basement with number of other students, The general topic of conversation was the Japan csc Russo war The men were dis cussing both sides of the question when attention was suddenly turned on the Jap student present.
 The men were only in a jocular mood, but the object of their remarks did not sstwig."
 One of the men said that the Iaps were no good and that they were down and out Several others made observations that were even less com plimentary to the Japanese. The Jap student doubled up his fists and start ed in to show that his race was val iant despite their shprtness in stature. At this iuncture the peace conference got in its work, and oil was poured on the troubled waters
 The Japanese student i'll question IS said to be the son of q wealthy tea merchant. Since war with Russia broke out, it is said, he has scarcely been able to restrain himself from re turning to his native land to engage in the struggle

 calmly chew away until the last atom was gone, and then lick his lips and wag his tail for another.
 Every now and then, if she saw anyone watching her the vixen would take one of the babies in her mouth, bring it out of the den and hunt for some safe place to put it. Not finding one, she would often deposit the in fant on the ground, and then bring the others out one by one. Here they would instinctively form as close 3 bunch as possible, lying one across the back of another, like little heap of grain-saeks. One day I saw The "Sprite,'' for the first, time, take up 3 piece of meat to eat it. He chewed it, and was about to swallow it, when he caught sight of a pup lying on the ground near him. Up came the meat in an instant, and, clucking significant ly, he put down the food beside the youngster, but the vixen, who seemed to have more sense if less generosity, quickly gobbled it up.
 One afternoon when we were all away, some strangers came into ths garden, and stood by the side of the fox-cage until the vixen was in a frenzy of anxiety. The next day she had a dt and on the following day she had nearly 30 fits, and I was afraid she would die before we could get g vet erinary surgeon whom l telephoned for at once. She seemed to waste away to a skeleton in the course of few hours, her ayes were glazed, and, as she no longer recognized her pups, took them away The doctor gave little hope for her recovery, but we carried out his orders to the letter, and, save that she ss still quite nervous, she has fully recovered from the attack. But we dared not give her the pups again, and they are now being brought up by hand
 When the young foxes were l3 days old, their teeth began to come through the gums, and three days later they could bite a finger hard enough to make 1t uncomfortable. Even earlier than this, if they were caught up sud- denly, they would give a little 'Fyap" and snap at the offending hand. When they were 15 days old the eye of one young fox began to show signs of  opening, but it was not until they were 19 days old that all of them had their sight.
 At first their only cry was wailing whine, but after few days it became yibratory, sometimes sounding like the usual note of a screech oyl, and on the seventeenth day I first heard an uncertain "woW-Wow-wow'' at the end of the whine,
 They are now, at three weeks old, beginning to take real interest in life. They toddle all about the floor, pausing, when they meet one another, to have miniature rougn-and-tumblc fight, growing all the while as if they really mean it. Tn short, they take very strongly after their father, who was just about their size a year ago to-day.

We have in Argen- tina a rival for our corn of wonderful capacity for export. In the matter of corn she already excels us. Save for our superior methods of agriculture we should before long be left in the rear and Europe would be forced to look away from us for her. food supplies, Argentina is undergoing an astonish- ing growth of population. Her mum hers increased 40 per cent i'll ten years, against a growth of 20 per cent in the United States and 16 in Germany. Of the 100000 of immigrants received in Argentina in forty years, more than half have been Italians, Argentina has the longest railroad running in a straight line in the world. It is al- ready ninth on the list of nations in point of railway mileage. Though it had but 355 miles of railway in 1867, it had 1o,601 in 1900, of which 12 per cent belonged to the government. Ar gentina has every promise of being a great empire. Monteyfdeo is in area the largest city in the world-thfee times the size of New York. Buenos Ayres is growing faster than New York, London or Berlin, and is the big gest city in the world south of Phila- delphia.
