NEW PIANO PRODIGY
HAS SPECIAL INSTRUMENT
Special Cable to The Herald.

MADRID, Nov. 3.-Latest among the
''infant phenomena" is the wonder
child-little 9-year-old Pepito Arriola.
This young Spanish pianist is so tiny
that a special piano has been built for
his baby fingers, and the keys of the
instrument are considerably narrower
than those of full-sized plano.
But, although so small in this respect,
the tone Is full and brilliant, and little
Pepito is certainly one of the most ro-
bust of all the prodigies. He is attract-
ing the greatest attention throughout
Europe.
In appearance he is a typical dark
skinned, black-haired little Spaniard.
Besides being a pianist Pepito is also
composer. He has written march
which has been accepted by the king
of Spain.

big dividends and have made their investors
wealthy.
This company will soon be one of the biggest

BURGLARS SKULL BROKEN
BY SAFE HE BLOWS OPEN
special Gable to The Herald,


BERLIN, Nov. 3,-one of two bur-
glars who attempted to break open a
safe in the office of large mantel man
ufaeturer here has met with singular
death. He and his accomplice, finding
their tools not sharp enough or tenn
pered enough, determined to burst
open the safe with some explosive. They
stuffed the lock full with the explosive,
presumably gunpowder, and attaching
an fgnited fuse, waited for the result.
AS the fuse burned slowly one OF the
robbers approached the safe to hasten
matters. At that moment the gum
powder exploded, and the door OF the
safe flew open, smashing IN the skull of
the burglar His aceomplice escaped,
and as the explosion made hardly any
noise, nothing was known of the affair
till next morning.

cARn OF ORCHARDS.

We have found out from practical experience in the care of au orchard that not very much reliance can be placed in the statement of some or -chardists to the effect that the root bOrer will not bother the tree after it has attained au age Of seven or eight years and the bark gets rough. An inspection of our orchard not long since shows almost as many of the lborers at work in the larger as in the smaller trees. The only safe way in the care of the orchard is to keep the grass hOed away from the trunk, the WaterspOUts cut and to give the trees 8 careful inspection at least twice dur ing the season. Thousands of trees die every year from supposed sun scald, blight or arbOreal heart failure, when the only thing under the sun that aIls them is that three or four lusty bOrers are eating their very Vitals out under the outside bark and just be- meath or above the surface of the ground.

A COgTpARTSON

A farm which is continually drained by the production of large crops raised with reference to supplying the local or foreign markets becomes in time like the small town which has just been visited by the circus. The farm sends forth it's crops without a core spending return of fertility to the soil; the town parts with it's money without receiving a proportiOnate impetus and growth in business. Tn the one case the object sought is money, which gives nothing back to the soil. In the other case the object in view is pleas ure. which adds nothing to the wealth of the community. Each year that the farm loses it's crops the soil becomes that much poorer. Each time that the town has a circus the people have just that much less money to spend for oth- CT things.

SALVATION OF RUSSIA.

An even superficial study of Russian conditions proves beyond doubt that the n0ple of the czar's domain are suffering more from disOrdered and disadVantageOuS economic conditions abject want and starvation-than from a denial of political, social and reIi- gious privileges. And yet history shows that the fight for the ballot has usually been foreruDner or accompaniment in the struggle for bread In this con necdon it is interesting to note that shortly after the people were granted a representative assembly the Russian government has taken under considera- ton the setting aside of some $7,000, 600 for the immediate relief of desti- 6ute peasants, and what Is of more vital and lasting value has in view q division of portions of the imperial and feUdal domains among the farmers and labOrmg people of the empire. The salvation of Russia ill her present crisis depends more upon giving all her people work st remuneratiVe wages, either in factories or Hpon the soil. fhau upon any other single factor.

BINS OF SUGAR BARRELS.

An enterprising farmer that we know of made some good bins to store grain in from sugar barrels. These barrels were placed upon firm fOun- dalton, where they would be secure and above danpness. After the cracks were filed fE so as to make the bins mouse proof heavy, square board cover was fitted over the whole on hinges These bins were a great satis- faction, in that they were clean and easy to get at, and more could be added If desired with but little work.

UNATAILING.

"Our Lady of the Shows" will find, no doubt, that one form of protection is very likely to be maintained by John Bull. The prayer of the Canadian stock raisers to have the present Eng fish embargo against Canadian cattle raised will probably be unavailing. English roast beef, '-ah, there's the rub. Few material things in life are so highly prized by true and loyal Brltons, and more zealously and jeal- ously guarded, Therefore, the deputa- ton from a British association, which was recently granted an audience on the embargo-raising question by the Board of Agriculture in London, had fruitless errand. The fact urged upon the boards attention that there has not been a single case of pleuro- pneu- monia among the Canadian cattle for ten years fell upon deaf ears, Lord CdlIl45lOl I6pllGu IOF Lll6 government. l.. He said that, while he should certainly bring the matter before his colleagues in the cabinet, it was not a party ques- tion, as many seemed to think, nor one chiefly of protection of English stock raisers, except as to the infection of their herds. The embargo was de- vised and continued to keep out epi- denies of infectious diseases among English cattle In 1SSS for instance, nearly half million cattle and sheep had been attacked by foot and mouth disease presumably imported from abroad. His general attitude was evil dently antagonistic to any abatement of the present restriction; and he took occasion to point out that the great majority of English farmers took the same view.

"HE,S AL1 RIGHT. ;,

All honor to the brave, intrepid Chaf- fee, who now retires from the army after forty-f1ve years of service as an American soldier. He rose from the ranks to be commander-in-chief. He has filled every grade in the regular army, from private soldier to lieuten ant general. He was not of the kid glove sort of chieftains. He knew how to rough it. He endured all sides of the hardships of the soldiers life, and he never quailed, when duty called, be- fore any danger or peril. He was of the right sort,-a brave man through and through, and with plenty of back bone The country parts with his ser- vices with genuine regret. As has been we'll said He is one of the most sol dierly soldiers who ever drew sabre in the country's service. An ideal cav aIryman, an ideal regular, his record for brilliant bravery is rivalled only by his record for hard, patient unself- ish work" An Ohio country boy of nineteen, he enlisted in the Sixth cav airy in 1861. In less than two years he became a lieutenant. Twice during the Civil war he was brevetted for gall lantry in action, and twice afterward in Indian wars. From his twenty fifth to his forty-sixth year he served as captain, every ready, ever brave, efficient and daring. Ills opportunity for pro- motion, long delayed, came at last, and the Spanish and Philippine wars brought him out as commander.
 He was also more than soldier, for in the Pekin camaign he showed abil- ity as a diplomat And through all he shone as plain American demo- cratic without fuss or feathers or gilt ter" His name goes down into his tory as brave and dauntless Ameri- can leader, a sterling patriot, man worthy to rank in the splendid galaxy of American hero fighters and com- manders, who nobly and brilliantly served their country

ENOUGH.

The country is not itching to annex San Domingo-that fine isle of the sea
 with it's burden of debt, it's ignorant people, its annual or semi-annual revo- lutions, and it's multitude of gaudily att
 tired and decorated generals, who near ly outnumber the privates So Senator Hepburn's bill introduced in congress for the annexation of that republic is likely to fall flat. It does not meet any Hong felt waEt." We have our own "little brown brothers problem in the Philippines, which is enough for Uncle Sam's digestion at present. True, MT. Hepburn has won over several other members of the senate to his views on
 the subject, but the Idaho senator needs many more converts for the success of his measure. Most of his converts are western men, and westerners are con- additionally dispoged to annexation. San Domingo might have been annexed wien President Grant was urgently asking to have it done if more western men had been in the senate in those days. At that time public sentiment was quite well disposed toward General Grants scheme. But as the senate was then made Yp Sumner, schurz and a
