While the British coasting steam

and at point just below Samshiu,
eighty of the native passengers at

Bile being revolver shots and the
sight of the Indian quartermaster
holding the horde at bay with
heavy oar, with which he knocked
over half a dozen before he was shot.
In attempting to rescue the quar-

the chest. Mcdonald and McTavish
dragged him into the dining saloon,
which was hastily barricaded and
held until windows were broken in

Captain Joslin, weak from his
wound, could net flee, and threw
himself upon the floor as if dead.
The robbers stripped him and left
him with parting kick. The crew
were robbed and beaten or killed if

The pirates then made off in five
native boats waiting at their rendez-

ship to Samshiu, where the affair
was reported to Commander
Vaughan, of the British cruiser

So Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, now
seventy-five years old, wishes to con-
.ract third morganatic marriage.
His second wife, now living, is only
!hirty-five, but she is too old. The
Duke is now in love with a young
singer at the Munich Opera-H House,
and as he is proper man, like Wer-
ther in Thackeray's immortal ballad,
there must be a divorce and then a
marriage The Wittelsbach Lud-
wigs have not been fortunate with
women. Ludwig the Strong, in the
fifteenth century, suspecting his
wife's fidelity, pitched the lady in
waiting out of a window and sent
the wife to the scaffold. Lola Mon
tez played the mischief with Ludwig
t., and Sophie Charlotte, who as the
Duchess d'Alencon was burned in the
bazaar fire at Paris, might have made
Ludwig II. reasonably happy If for
some reason-several were wide
spread in Munieh--he had not brok-
en- the betrothal. And now the old
Duke is hunting trouble. OF course
If the young singer does not become
Ludwig's wife she will come either
to the Metropolitan or the Manhattan
Opera House. We see Messrs. Con-
ried and Hammerstein bidding for
her. But the New York public may
net be SO musically easy as the Duke.

In Every Leaf That Falls.

The Nantes market gardeners, the
most expert commercial cultivators
in France, owe their success primari-
~ to the use of leaves of trees as a
fertilizer. The leaves that fall from
the trees In the district are carefully
collected each autumn. lhey are
put into heaps with loan and are left

Tar more valuable than can be pro-
vided by the aid OF loan and manure.
Freshly gathered leaves from trees
are also used as a mulch to protect
crops from frost during the winter
months, with excellent results. They
are also dried and Used freely for
bedding material for horses and
COWS. The manure thus obtained is
tar more valuable than that furnished
by the aid of straw. In English
agricultural circles straw is con-
sidered to be of greater fertilizing
value than leaves. This is an error.
Scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that decayed leaves are Of
greater fertilizing value than even
manure. In pear leaves the contents
Of nitrogen was 1856 per cent; in oak
leaves 1.18 per cent; in poplar, 0.75
per cent. beech, 0.7S per cent; elm,
OTIS per cent, and in the vine OBS

and manure in respect to their fer

Loving facts; forty-four pounds OF
pear leaves, eighty pounds of poplar,
fifty-one pounds of peach, eighty-two
pounds Of elm and 174 pounds OF
vine respectively are equal in nitro
gen to 100 pounds of manure. A
valuable table might be compiled
showing the fertilizinz value of the
leaves of all of the various English
trees, 1t is known to some garden

1t is not generally known not
even among painters why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge Of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint. in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays Of the
sun will protect house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because
it turns back, or reflects, the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, so far as wear is concerned
In choosing the color Of paint for
your house, select reds, browns,
grays and olives which, considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows like lemon), cold green's
(like grass green, etc.), and the
blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue Is claimed for tints In themselves.

Vanity holds general dominion
over womankind, and in many cases

uptown milliner relates a case Of the
most aggravated form that is az
most unparalleled. She was arrang-

week, when she was interrupted BY
the hurried entrance of woman
who excitedly informed her that she
wanted the trimming Of her new hat
changed. She said that it had been
trimmed on the wrong side THE
trimming is on the left side just
where it ought to be, were the
words of the milliner in reply, some
what puzzled. 1T doesn't m axe any
difference whether it ought % be in
front or back, or right or left; it's
got to be on the church side, Not
ing the gasp Of the astonished mill
liner, she continued: Yes, the
church side. I sit right next to the
wall in church, and I'm not going to
have all that trimming next the wall.
/ want it on the other side for the
whole congregation to see. The
trimming was promptly placed on
the church side, Of the hat. and
