Among the special professional schools
that are offered in different parts of
the old world none is more unique than
the sugar school, recently opened at
st. Ghislain, Belgium. The course,
which covers two years, leads to a
diploma, which will insure the holder a
lucrative position with any Of the large
sugar manufacturers on the continent
The student body Is of course not
very large, owing to the novelty of the
course, but the curriculum is exception
ally comprehensive, including instruc-
ton in the fundamental underlying
studies, such as physics and general
chen lstry, in addition to such direct
studies as sugar technology, sugar
chemistry, sugar legislation, industrial
factories, sugar accounts, cane and
sugar raising, etc.
Schools of this character are much
needed in the industrial world, being
analogous to the technical schools
which have been found so extremely
valuable. Philadelphia Record.

The shah and the Asparagus.

When Muzzaffar- Din, shah of Per-
STA, paid his first visit to England he
was the guest of King Edward VII,
then prince of Wales. On the evening
of his arrival banquet was held at the
palace, and on the menu was aspara-
gus AS it happened, the shah had
never heard of, much less tasted, as
paragus till that evening. When the
dish was brought on he helped himself
to half of 1t, picked each stalk up in
his fingers, nibbled gingerly at the
head and then threw the stalk on the
carpet. To have let it remain on his
plate would have been breach of Per-
sian etiquette All eyes turned to the
Prince of Wales. What was be going
to do? The prince, tactful as ever,
glanced at those about him. then at his
plate; then he picked up stalk after
stalk, ate what he wanted and threw
the balance ON the carpet behind his
chair. A moment later thirty people in
that room were eating asparagus in
Persian fashion, and the attendants,
who are trained to look more serious
than ever on such occasions, never
moved muscle.-Black and White.

there had been so many traps laid for

When James MacNeill Whistler went
to Venice to make those fourteen ia

intoxicated with it's beauty that he
made seventy pastels first, leaving his
etchings till the last few days. These
pastels made a tremendous sensation.

tricks, betting a basketful of cham

MRS. DAVIS IS DEAD.
Aged Widow of Confederate President
Passes Away In New York.

New York, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, widow of the president of the
Confederacy, who had been ill for
week at the Hotel Majestic in this city,
is dead
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by severe cold which Mrs. Davis con-
tracted upon her return here from the
Adirondacks, where she had spent the
summer months.
Although grave fears were felt from
the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vital
ity, which brought her safely through
similar attack a year ago, gave hope
of ultimate recovery until Monday
night, when decided change for the
worse was evident, and the attending
physicians announced that the end was
near
Mrs. Davis had for some years made
her home in this city, where she had
wide circle of friends. Throughout her
illness solicitous inquiries regarding
her condition were continually made at
her apartments.

picture Of the chinese Emperor.

The countenance of the emperor Of
China, the son of heaven, is not often
gazed upon by foreigners. One of the
favored few says he has melancholy,
frightened look His face is pale, and,
though it is distinguished by refine
ment and quiet dignity, it has none of
the force of his martial ancestors, moth
ing commanding or imperial, but is al
together mild, delicate and kind. Es-
sentially Manchu In features, his skin
is strangely pallid. His face is oval
shaped, with a very long, narrow chin
and sensitive mouth with thin, nerv-
Gus lips. His nose is well shaped and
straight, his eyebrows regular and very
arched, while the eyes are unusually
large and sorrowful In expression. The
forehead is broad, the head large be-
yond the average altogether the face
of decadent.

HEARST ANSWERS HUGHES.

Under Corporate Names.

Oswego, N. Y, Oct. 17.-William Ran
doIph Hearst, Democratic and INDIE
pendencs league candidate for govern
or, left the southern tier of counties
and began the tour of the counties
along the northern border of the state.
In his speeches delivered at Fulton
and in this city Mr.. Hearst maintained
that, his papers being owned through
corporations, 1t is easier. instead of
more difficult, TO sue him, and he as
serted that after he had defeated Mrs.
Werner's suit for damages for being
run down by one of bis newspaper de-
livery wagons he paid her large sum
in consideration of her injuries.
His attorney. Clarence ]. Shearn, who
is accompanying Mr. Hearst as spell
binder, took up in his speech here an
other phase of Mr. Hughes attack on
the corporations owning the Hearst
newspapers, maintaining that in no
other way than through corporate own
ership could his client eyade a news

The Chestnut In Corsica.

To the Corsican islander the sweet
chestnut tree Is almost as indispensa-
BILE means Of support as the pig or
the potato has ever been to the Irish
countryman. Ground into the famous
polenta meal, the chestnut is the staff
of life for the greater part Of the pop
ulation of the island. Now, however,
not content with having the chestnut
forests under contribution for the
greater part of their food, the Corsi-
cans are forcing them to supply the
raw material for an active and rising
industry, the manufacture Of gallic
acid, which is extracted from the wood
and chiefly used for tanning and for
dyeing silk. Unless steps are very
quickly taken to replace the chestnut
woods by young plantations, the island
ers will be eventually face to face with
the possibility Of semistarvation.-

Wise Ostrich.

The stock illustration of what fool
will do is the habit which ostriches
have of sticking the head into the sand,
leaving the body exposed, but the au-
thor of 1.-THE Gold Diggings of Cape
Horn" says that this habit does not
seem foolish to one who studies the
ostrich in its desert home On the con-
trary, it is natures wise provision for
the safety of the bird in region where
hiding places are scarce. The male
ostrich matches. out the eggs, looks after
the brood, keeps his eye open for men,
beasts and birds, and sounds loud
snorting, warning call when he sees an
enemy. The brood, when warned,
fades out of sight. Each chick squats
motionless, its head in the sand and its
body so near in color to that of the
sand and scant heritage as to deceive
even an experienced hunter. Its body
looks like a gray desert bush, and the
gauchos-the cowboys of the pampas-
when searching for young ostriches ex-
anime every bush within many rods of
the spot where a brood disappears. Of
ten what seemed a bush is found to be
in part or wholly young ostrich.
With it's head up the bird would be at
once detected. With its head in the
sand it often escapes even the keen
eyed fox.

Grain Elevators Break Law.

Chicago, Oct. NV. S. Jackson, for
mer president of the Chicago board OF
trade, called before the interstate COM
merce commission to testify as to the
practice Of owners of elevators storing
grain contrary to law, asserted that he
has known cases where grain has been
stored In elevators that belonged to the
owners of the warehouses. In such
cases, however, 1t is the custom to
transfer the title of the grain before
storing it, thus in a way complying
with the letter of the law. After the
grain is removed from the elevators,
he asserted, it is retransferred to the
original owner.
