MEN OF MUSCLE.
NOnarchs Who Performed Some
Wonderful Feats of StrenUtb

Augustus the Strong of SaXony in his
playful moods would seize couple of
cOurtiers. one in each hand. and hold
I them out at arms length. He would
twist stout iron bars around their necks
for collars and slraighten horSeshoes
with wrench of his muscular fingers
while on one occasion. when the horse
of one of his attendants refused to
bulge. he put his herculean shoulders
under it and walked away with horse
and rider together.
George Castriot. prince of Albania
welded such powerful sword that he
could sever bulls head at single
stroke. while once, for wager, he
walked Off with ten of his courtiers
standing on platform. Charlemagne
who was reputed to be the strongest
man of his time. was able to snap the
strongest horseshoe between the fin
gers of one hand, and Don Sebastian
merely by the pressure of his knees
could make his charger groan with
pain.
Peter the Great of Russia so devel
opcd and hardened his naturally strong
muscles by years of work as black
smith and carpenter that he became
the strongest man in his dOminions
He had but one formidable rival in
| country blacksmith, whose boast it was
that he was the only man in Russia
who could lift an anvil from the ground
When this boast came to the ears Of
Peter he set out incognito with a sin
gle companion and challenged the
blacksmith to trial of strength. With
! out a word the latter seized his ponder
Gus anvil with both hands and. strain
ing his mighty muscles almost to burst
ing point, raised it foot from the
ground. When Peters turn came he.
too. raised the anvil higher and higher
until. to his rivals CONSERVATION. he
placed it on bis shoulder and walked
1 out of the smitby with it, So startled
! was the blacksmith by this exhibition
=, Of strength that he rushed away to
Summon the villagers to "come and see
the evil one, who had run away with
his anvil
| Peter had worthy successor in Alex
, ander Ill, father of the present car,

him the title of the Russian Samson"
Amazing stories are told of Alexander's
muscular powers-how he could burst
open the stoutest barred doors by
push Of his great shoulders, crumple up
coins in his hand as if they were leath-
er instead of tough metal, snap iron
bars across his knees. tear whole
pack Of cards in two and with few
movements of his powerful hands con
vert pewter tankard into bouquet
holder.
Nor must we forget that amazonian
queen of Poland. Cymburga, who used
to crack nuts with her fingers. aud
when she was training her fruit trees
would hammer the nails into the wall
with her clinched fist

CARP IN CABBAGE PATCH.
Extraordinary Crop Raised by
Farmer in New York
State.

Canandaigua, N. Y.-Eight hundred
carp In a cabbage patch will give .
slight idea of the number Of these
fish in Canandaigua lake. The con.
nection may not at first be plain. but
It must be understood that the lake
and the cabbage patch are adjacent.
Thomas Rafferty,, who owns farm
on the east shore of Canandaigua lake,
about three miles from the village,
went out to his cabbage patch the
other day and found it covered with
dead and dying carp, some OF them
Of ten or fifteen pounds weight. They
had invaded the land during the high
water OF Sunday and had been left
stranded by the receding waters.
Rafferty, didn't consider this piece
of good luck. He could not get rid OF
the fish all alone, and soon his neigh
bors came to him with loud com
plants and threats to have him in
dicted for maintaining nuisance
Finally he called Oh the village board
of health for aid. There were more
500 of the fish.

LONG SERVICE OF FARMERS
Laborers in England Who Have Held
Places Fifty Years and
More.

There are some remarkable records
of long service in the annual prize list
just issued by the Huntingdonshire
Agricultural society, which makes
monetary awards to the laborers who
have been longest In the employ OF
their members on the same farm.
The list shows, says the London
Standard, that there is one man still
30 employed in the county who has
reached the age OF rs years. His name
is Peter Sheridan, and he has been en-
gagged on the estate OF the dukes of
Manchester at Kimbolton for As years.
But he does not take a prize, as his
length Of service is exceeded in an.
other case by ten years.
Another old servant still at work, is
76; there are two "a years old, one 6s
one 6s, and several over go among the
competitors. The first prize goes to
Thomas AllsOp, who. now 65 years OF
age, has been on the farm o. Mr.. Harry
Cran1eld, Of Buckden, for IS years. The
second prize taker is George Allen, II
years OF age, who has been 81 years
with the Heathcotes, of Connington.
The third in honors Is Philip Win.

Messrs. Coleman and sons Of Wood

GROWING JET-BLAcK ROSES
Secret Long Sought BY Florists Has
Been Discovered by an Eng
lishman.

Florists in New York were greatly
interested In the recent announcement
that an Englishman has discovered
how to grow Jet black roses. feat
which has been vainly attempted for
many years. II Q dozen Of them could
be offered for sale to-day in the city,
says the Baltimore Sun, leading florists
agreed that there would be no dimculty
in obtaining $1,000 for the bunch.
On q few estates along the Rhine
practically black roses have been
grown for the last ten years, but all
efforts to eliminate q reddish tint IN
the center Of the bud have DO far
failed. No secret has been more close
ly guarded by the German gardeners
than this one Of developing even Q
papatively black flower Visitors
are allowed to look at the bushes and
buds on special occasions. but what
ingredient has been put into the soil
to bring about the abnormal color has
not been told even to close friends.
In California specialist has also
been partly successful In producing
roses practically black, but, according
to announcement In London, 1t re-
manned for q peddler of shoelaces to
attain perfection. 1t was said to-day
by New York florists that undoubtedly
the color is the result Of chemical
introduced in the soil.
The same principle, however, Is said
to be involved as in the development
of blue hydrangeas, which are pro
duced by putting iron into the soil ir
which the plants are grown.
The black blossoms would be mos
popular as indications of mourning
but 1t was agreed by florists that tht
day is yet distant when any one of thu
freaks will be seen in their windows.

WORRIES OVER ROYAL SON
Xing Of Spain Kept Track Of BY His
Mother When Visiting
Abroad.

Pretty stories are told of the anxious
Eother OF King Alfonso, concerning
bis visit to France. She was so afraid
that he might wander astray in some
inexplicable way In wicked Paris that
she wrote letter in her own hand to
President Loubet, putting her son un-
ler his personal care.
She said that he was a father and
know better than all the Others how
to watch over him. She was 80 afraid
that he might hear and see things
that might make him too wise In the
wicked ways of the world. II was she
herself who chose the programme and
the subjects to be performed before
her son on the gala nights given at the
Opera and Comedie Francaise. Ell
quette is strict "a Spain and she won
dered If everything would be all right
In this independent republic Of France
Everything was all right, for the
French have a cult for children, and
the young king is still regarded as o
boy, for whom all French mothers
have a soft spot, and this made him
all the more welcome, in that there IL
no woman. even in the laboring class
who does not know what an admirable
mother ne has and how anxious she II
to have her ''Bubi," as she calls him
return to her as worthy Of being called
her darling as before. It must be will
heartbreaks that queen like thu
queen Of Spain delivers up her boy L
the state, and to feel that he Is mor'
the son Of his country than her own.
