sersy as TO the corporate lines of the
city, with reference to the property oil
Mrs. s. NJ. Dooley. known as 'Maymont,

Recent, comparatively. is the de-
cision of the .Archduchess Stepha-
ME to abandon her royal position
in favor of her love for Count Lon
vav. Her father-in-law, the En-
peror of Austria, gave his consent,
but her own father, the King of the
Belgians, has never forgiven his
daughter, and it will be remembered
that at the deathbed of the late
Queen Louise OF Belgium the two
passed each other without recogl1l-
ton.
Following the mothers example,
the .Archduchess Elizabeth Of AUS
tria fell in love with young noble
man of ancient but not royal lineage
Prince Windischgrantz. and, de-
spite the protests OF her royal
grandfather. insisted Oh marrying
him and renouncing all claim to the
Austrian empire. Yet another OF

1t is we'll known saying that "Cu-
pid laughs at law and it appears to
be justified in the case of royalties
who marry for love rather than tor
state reasons. Certain it is that
inorganic marriages are on the IN
crease.
Take for instance the Grand
Duke of Russia, who was banlshed
bv the car toTashkent, in Turkes-
stan. because he fell in love with
and married daughter OF the chlet
:of police at Orenburg.
His sacrifice was a failure as tar
as happiness was concerned, for his
marriage was disappointment
and the prince fretted after the tr1Il-
er life he had formerly had, and on
his recall bv the present car his
mental health was found to have
suffered severely.
The Grand Duke Paul OF Russia
who held the rank of lieutenant gen
cral and adjutant general to car
was deprived OF his office and BAN
ished for ten years on the occasion
of his marriage with the baroness

1906 WILL BE A BLACK YEAR.
An American Prophet Predicts Ugly
Things for the Coming Year, Es-
pecially for Some Crowned Heads.
Roosevelt, Man of the Hour.

Lee Spanger, is an evangelist and
Bible student. who is known
throughout southern Pennsylvania
under his self-stvled title as the
last of the prophets. As usual he
has dire things in store for some
parts of the world and especially
for that much pert,1rbed and l11-
fortunate country, Russia.
Spangler first attracted atten-
ton as a prophet by announcing
that according to the scripture GER
tain passages of which he quoted,
he was ordained by God to be the
last of the prophets, and predict the
certain end of the world, the date
of which cataclyisln he has been
postponing from time to time. and
which, according to the latest pre-
Cliction, is to happen for certainty
in 1908.
When Spangler prophes1ed the
death of Queen Victoria, the as
sassination of the Russians BY the
Japanese. the Chicago theatre fire,
the North River steamboat disaster,
the election of Theodore Roosevelt
as president of the United States,
and other events long prior to their
occurrence, he gained a following
especially among the country folk,
many of whom read his annual
. forecasts with interest.
Here are a few Of the events
that, according to Spangler, may be
looked for in 1906.
The dissolution Of Russia.
The overthrow of Turkey.
The assassination of the car Of
Russia.
The assassination of the sultan
of Turkey.
The prevention of three wars BY.
President Roosevelt.
A protracted race war in the
south.
Destructive spring foods in the
United States.
A destructive eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The activity in Mount Pelee and
Popocatepetl.
Volcanic eruption in all parts of
the world.
The eruption of many volcanoes
now supposed to be extinct.
Great loss of life at sea BY
storms.
Destruction of two Western cit
les by cyclones.
Earthquakes in all parts of the
world.
Destructive earthquakes in Cali
fornia and the Philippines.
Rebellion in Spain.
Great disturbance all over Eu-
rope.
Spangler says further that the
summer of 1906 will be hot and sui
try throughout the temperate zone
with high death rate.
That Christ will make His Spirit
felt among the people of the United
States and England, in which coun-
tries there are to be fervent religi-
Gus and political movements, which
are to overcome in great degree
the present spirit of graft and COM
mercialism.
That the United States will con-
tinue as a world power and the
leader of other nations.
That Pennsylvania is to have an
administration Of the people and
that discoveries of corruption Will
be made which will drive some Of
the guilty to suicide:
That God will wreck terrible
vengeance upon the Russians for
the massacre of the Jews.

Camel1ia Japonica.

This plant is variously known as
Camellia, and as Japonica. Though
why it should have been given the
latter name is not easily guessed, as
there are many other shrubs and
plants in cultivation that have the
same specific name. However, by
whatever name it is called, it is a
most desirable Towering shrub. 1t
is brOad-leaved evergreen, and usu-
ally blooms early in the spring. Years
ago, we saw some very thrifty bushes
on the clay hills of a West Florida
town. We do not know that it will
do well on any of the sandy soils Of
East or South Florida.
If any one has experimental with
it, we should be glad to have a report
from them whether the result was
success or failure The following ac
count of this plant we take from

sufficient for the next, or those which
may be said to bloom naturally, while
the portion required to furnish flowers
for the late spring months should be
placed out of doors. This treatment
must be continued until the new
growths are completed, and the in
cipient flower buds can be discovered,
when a cool, shaded situation should
be provided for each section as they
require it; observing to supply them
bountifully with water during the
whole period of growth, with an oc-
casiOnal sprinkling over the foliage,
and moderate shade. Any situation
secure from frost will preserve them
through the winter, and as the flowers
expand the plants may be removed
wherever their presence may be deem
ed most ornamental.
Many of the best Camellias in culti-
vation have been raised in this coun-
try. The usual method of propagation
is by cuttings.
