NO HOPE FOR KING OSCAR
End of SWeden's Aged Ruler
Apparently at Hand.

Stockholm, Dec. 9.--King Oscar of
Sweden is dying. He has lain uncon-
scious all day and the end is expect
ed at any moment. The final sacra-
ments have been administered. All
the members of the royal family are
gathered at the bedside of the venera-
BILE monarch. The patient has had
occasional moments of consciousness,
when he recognized those about him,
but these have been Of very short
duration. The physicians bulletin en-
phasizes the gravity of his condition.
It says:
"The kings strength has been con-
tinuously decreasing during the night.
His majesty is at times not fully con-
scious. Action Of the heart weaker.
Pulse IS, irregular. Breathing diff
cult"
King Oscars periods of unconscious
ness are becoming more prolonged.
During the short intervals when his
majesty rallies he seems to recognize
the persons at his bedside.
AS the afternoon progressed all the
members of the royal family gathered
around the bedside of the king. Pre-
| p1ier Linman also was present. The
bishop of Stockholm was summoned
and he administered the final sacra-
| ment His majesty still has occasional
moments of consciousness, during
which he shows signs Of recognition
of those about his bedside, but he
! quickly relapses into insensibility.

Question Of japanese Emigration
Satisfactorily Settled.
NO WRITTEN NOTE GIVEN
Foreign Minister Hayashi Proposes to
Limit Emigration to Students and
Commercial Men With Means and
Cuts Off All Laborers.

Toxic, Dec. 9.-There Is reason to
believe that the entire question of en-
igration of Japanese to America has
been satisfactorily settled, at least for
the present, after the series of confer
ences which have been held between
United States Ambassador O'Brien
and Minister of Foreign Affairs Haya-
shi. 1t is understood that at their last
meeting the representative of the jap
anese government outlined a plan by
which it is agreed to limit emigration
to students and commercial men hav-
ing means of support and entirely to
prevent Japanese laborers from going
to America. This arrangement will
entail the closest supervision on the
part of the Japanese authorities. AS
the agreement is verbal Ambassador
O'Brien accepts it Professionally, but
maintained that any violation of it's
terms would seriously embarrass a
friendly government

Shoes and Spectacles for Animals.
In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey. The method
of shoeing is as simple as 1t is effective.
The geese are made to walk repeatedly
over patches Of tar mixed with sand.
This forms a hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to walk long dis
tances without becoming fOotsore.
Even more useful than shoes for
geese are the spectacles worn by the
cows that feed on the Russian steppes,
a region where the snow lies for six
months of the year.
These cattle pick up a living from
the tufts of grass that crop UP above
the snow. The sun shines so daZZingly
upon the white surface that many OF
the animals suffered formerly from
snow blindness. 1t occurred to an in
genious and. humane individual that
this situation might be remedied so he
at once experimental in the manufac-
ture Of smoke-colored spectacles that
might be adjusted to cattle. The re-
suit was successful and the animals
were saved much suffering.

New Zealand fax is one of a number

erers great wealth, says the Scientific
American This fax, the strongest
known, grows wild in marshes. When
it is cultivated it dwindles and it's fibers
become brittle and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out of
it hasheesh, or keef, is made. Keef
looks like fakes of chopped straw. 1t
is smoked in a pipe; it is eaten on

duces an intense, delirious happiness
and among Orientals it is almost as
highly priced as beer and whisky

The best nutmegs are the wild ones.
They grow throughout the Malay archi-

In colder climates, where shelter

with the slanting roof; and an open

should be placed on level in the

enough is needed for the turkeys to see

Grape Vine Ferti1izing.

Grapevines usually need very little
chiefly potash. In European countries
it is the habit of vineyardists to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer is used. In
fact, stable manures are objected to, as
they make the vines grow rank, and the
fruit will lack the flavor that belongs
to fruits whose vines are only MANFRED
with the ashes. Much of the excellence
Of French wines is possibly due to this
sparing use of manure.
