Dreams Of Royal Glory.
But nothing can make the dear girls
see the end from the beginning and
lead them to believe other than that
each will prove an exception to the
rule. Each is sure that each success
sive chapter will prove more brilliant
and interesting than the one before.
Why, it is limited by those who know,
that Countess de Castellane has had
dreams of some day being the chief
lady at the court of the king of
France, when the aspirations of the
duke of Orleans for the throne should
be realized. And this is the explana-
ton of the assiduous attentions which
the count and countess have showered
upon the head of the pretender. 1t is
even intimated that the inspiration
for the gorgeous palace which the
count erected on the Avenue du Bots
de Boulongne-and in the building of
which he nearly wrecked his wife's
fortune, and called down upon his
head the restraining hands Of the
American courts with Brother George
Gould as the watchdog of the Gould
treasury-came with the dream of such
royal glory, and the ambition to have
marble palace which should be a
fit abode for the chief noble at the
court of the restored monarchy.
The career of the De Castellanes
has been as entertaining as an opera
bouffe, with an occasional shifting to
the melodramatic as when the counts
extravagances brought him face to face
with bankruptcy, and he was forced
to lay aside the dignity of French
title, and humbly sue for relief at the
feet of a plain American-his hard,
matter-of-fact, business brother-in-
law. George helped him out then for
the sake of the sister whom he had
married, and he probably will be will
ing and eager to help him out in his
present trouble-that is, help him out

millions, and there is suspicion that

Power of Radium.

Says Prof. G. H. Darwin: "Radium
is substance which is perhaps mil
lions of times more powerful than dy-
Mantle Thus it is estimated that an
ounce of radium would contain enough
rower to raise 10000 tons mile above
the earth's surface. Another way OF
stating the same estimate is this: The
energy needed to tow ship of $4,000
tol.s a distance of 5000 sea miles at is
knots is contained in % ounces of

The Scattering Of Gold.
But if Count Boni has not been a
faithful husband, he certainly has
been a loyal Frenchman, for he has
zealously poured a golden stream
upon his native soil. 1t is said that
Paris has rarely been agitated
SO over anything as she is agitated
now over the counts final fatal fall
ing out with his wealthy American
wife, and this perhaps because the
golden stream is to be stayed: and
with no more easy American dollars
in sight, what are the needy trades
N N and the sycophants Of society go
ing to do? No more building, no more
buying of picturesque country places,
no more purchasing of art treasures
and rare jewels, no more lavish en-
tertaining, no more anything which
has made Count Boni the most popu-
lar fellow in all Paris, and given his
wife a large place in the selfish heart
of Paris society.
The Spendthrift's Career.
The story of the counts genius for
getting rid of the money he married
into reads more like chapter out
of fairy story than one from real
life. During the first four years it
poured through his fingers in one un-
ceasing stream until $3.000,000 had
disappeared, and 100000 more were
spent in advance, but the countess
didn't care. She accepted it as part
OF the burdens of royalty, and just

that SO small stove would be capable

can safely make one like it. A honey

Generally speaking, an oblong or
square tank is much more expensive
to make than a round one of the SHINE
capacity. The same method of heating
could be applied to round tank as
well as to one oblong like the one here
shown.

Two Burbank Walnuts.

The last number of the Farm Stock
Journal contains an article about two
new walnuts Possibly they may prove
to be adapted to our soil and climate.
The extraordinary claims made for
the timber are probably only the i'm
aginatiOn of the reporter
Reference has been made in the
Farm Stock Journal to a number of
Luther Burbank's successful expert
ments in obtaining new or improved
fruits, nuts, flowers and vegetables.
Among his successes is the prOduc-
ton of two new species of walnutS,
which, says Garrett Z. Serviss in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, may bring
about a revolution in the world of
trees
One. called the Paradox walnut, is
remarkable for the swift growth of
the tree. The surprising statement is
made that it grows faster than any
other tree in the temperate zone. A
row of this variety was planted thir-
teen or fourteen years at Mr. Bur
banks home, and some of them have
in that time, developed trunks two feet

i'm diameter, with immense tops. Still
more surprising is the fact that con-
trary to one almost universal result
in fast growing trees, these Paradox
trees are remarkable for the hardness
and durability of their wood, which
has been compared to ligum vitae for
SOlidity, and has beautiful color, max
ing it valuable for cabinet making
and house building.
The tree is also capable of develop
ing new varieties without losing it's
distinctive characteristics. and Mr..
Burbank expects that many novel
cabinet woods will eventually come
from it which will add immensely to
the timber wealth of the country. 1t
is not much of a nut bearer, and its
chief value is i'm the rapid growth
and superior wood qualities.
But Mr. Burbank has developed a
half brother of the Paradox walnut
called the Royal walnut, which grows
immense crops of large and sweet wal
nuts. The former is a cross of the
California black walnut and English
walnut, and the latter a cross of the
California and Eastern black walnuts.
The nuts of the Royal are four or five
times larger that those of its parents
and also have sweeter meats.

banana is, weight for weight, as nutri-
tiOuS as the venerable fig.
But it is in the fresh state that the
banana chiefly appeals to us. Its
creamy succulence and delicious OdOr
are inviting, and its pleasant sapor
is Il prelude to good digestion. De
pendent as that sapOr is on an ethereal
body which the coal-tar investigators
have not yet been able to initiate by
any chemical essence. 1t is Il subtle
stimulus to all subsequent alimentary
processes. And thus it is that the
banana is an eminently digestible food
No sense of oppression or drOwsineSs
follows on a meal of it.
| have seen a West Indian negro
consume twenty stalwart bananas at
Il sitting, and thereafter display I'M
wOnted vivacity. 1t seems to be main
ly absorbed by the stomach, and this
fact, together with the small amount
of waste matter it cOntainS-9o per
cent of it's substance possessing nu-
tritive properties led a number of
American physicians USery, of
st. Louis being prominent among them
to recommend it as food in typhoid
fever.
Its employment under such circum-
stances, it is said, inSures through the
stomach an adequate supply of bland
nOuriShment, without imposing any
strain upon the attenuated and abrad-
ed alimentary canal. In other diseases
and in certain dySpeptic disorders, a
banana cure. like the grape cure, may
prove profitable, and it seems just pos
sible that this mild and gentle fruit
may become Il powerful auxiliary to
our temperance refOrmer.
1t mixes badly with alcohol in any
taken with spirits, and it is alleged
that the habitual Use of it diminisheS
the drink craving where it exists.
This remains to be tested by expert
ment. but Capt. Parsons, of the Port
Kingston of the Direct Imperial Line,
says that since the men on his ship,
seamen and stOkerS, have been allowed
to partake at discretion of the bananas
which always form a considerable part
of the cargo, the consumption of the
alcoholic beverages has been greatly
reduced
Perhaps some of the salutary effects
of the banana may be due to the trace
of copper it contains. a little iron
is essential to the blood, and Il little
copper may subserve some useful pur-
pose in the human economy.
