Prince Karl. When possible, avoided
royal banquets, but I thought would
make an exception in this case, and
particularly as I wished to offer my
congratulations to the princess on her
birthday AS l mounted the staircase
Prince Karl met me with open arms,
and said, What do you feel like now
that you are prince?' l replied. Just
as respectable as before, your Royal
Eighness; ! was always respectable
as Herr Won Bismarck. and I hope

evidently annoyed. He turned sharply
round, whereupon the princess came
forward TO speak to me. After quar-

SAVE MONEY Fo1 FARMERS

Elaborate tests have been made at
many of the stations, particularly in
the East and the South, in order to
determine the value of the worthless
ness of soil fertilizers, says the Amer
ican Illustrated Magazine. While the
use of bacteria for incubation may
ultimately do away with all need Of
fertilization. yet large amounts are
still spent upon commercial fertilizers,
and it will probably be some time be
fore they shall be all abandoned. In
fact, something like $50,000.0OO is an
nually paid out by the farmers of the
United States for fertilizers.
1t is unquestionably true that much
fraud has been practiced upon the
farmers in this direction. In New .Jer-
sey the station showed the farmers
that by clubbing together and purchas-
ing the raw material of which the fer
tilizers are composed they could save
from 25 to As per cent. The estimated
saving in cost to the farmers of the
state by this one feature alone is
from SIS. 900 to 100000 per year. This
station has also demonstrated the
special food needs of certain plants.
showing the farmer what particular

type of fertilizer was needed for .
given crop.
Instead of purchasing manures from
New York and Philadelphia for fertil-
izing sweet potato ground, as had been
the custom, the station advised COM
bination of various fertilizers as like
ly to give the precise food the sweet
potato needed to bring about the most
satisfactory results. More thar 10000
acres OF ground in New Jersey are
given up to the cultivation OF the
sweet potato, and the cost of produc-
ton has thus been lessened by from
s. to $40 per acre. making an annual
saving of nearly or quite 100000.
In this station, as in many other
stations, the information given the
farmers i'll the way of methods Of pre-
venting insect pests results in saw
ing of thousands of dollars year.
Without the aid of the stations, orch
ards and vegetable tracts as well. in
decd, in some cases entire field crop
areas would be destroyed. 1t is this
constant searching. for the negative
advantages, SO to call them, that
marks one of the most significant func
tions of the stations.

Major-General Won kloeden, who
was frequently Bismarck's guest, has
recently given some new and interest
ing "reminiscences of the great states
man to the Frankfurter Zeitung:
Shortly after Bismarck had been
made prince, the conversation one
evening at dinner turned to the sub
ject of his horses and carriages. which
were not considered fine enough for
one of his rank. The Iron Chancellor
was disinclined to pursue this topic.
But said his brother-in-law, Count J.
Arnim, Now that you are a prince
you must pay more regard to yourself
Il did not make myself prince re-
torted Bismarck. and I must econo-
mize SO that there may be something

Iapanese Exodus to Korea.

Every batch of news from Korea
tells of migrating Japanese who have
left their islands and landed on the
big peninsula, where they expect to
settle in one or another Of the fertile
valleys that may be turned into fine
gardens. This movement of the Japa-
nese farmers to the mainland was to
be expected as soon as the predomin-
ance of Japanese influence began to
be asserted. There is not country in
the world that needs more room than
Japan does, with it's 100000 people
and seven-eighths of its island empire
covered with mountains that are mag
nificent but can never be made to
contribute largely to the support of a
rapidly increasing people. The Japa-
nese government is encouraging this
western movements of its frugal and
industrious farmers and the large area
of fertile lands still lying waste in
Korea bids fair to give the opportun-
ity that is SO sorely needed by the
swelling tide of Japanese life.

PEN SKETCH OF THOMAS HARDY
Eminent Author Not Adapted for the
Role Of "ljon,"


Thomas Hardy, though a frequent
visitor to London. still makes his
home in Dorchester, near which he
was born and where he has lived al
most his entire life. He is said to be
quite Indifferent to the social fame
that successful novel-writing brings.
He always looks little too grave
and distant to be quite at his ease in
the midst Of the jangle of smart con-
versation," writes correspondent
who has seen the author recently, but
at small literary dinner he becomes
at once sympathetic and interesting
and can be grave and gay. In stature
he is short, trinity built: the face is
Intellectual. the forehead deeply lined
with thought. the dome of the head
expansive and thinly covered with
hair. The eyes are meditative, eau
tious; now and then lighting up with
kindly humor. but generally very sad.
Mr.. Hardy always looks as though he
were a watcher, sitting apart from
the battle of life and noting down the
defeats of the day."

personal interest in Mrs. Gridley.
and has recommended that congress

to resign from Office and take few
years rest.
The prize money to which Capt.
Gridley was entitled as a result of the
captures in Manila bay. amounting to
