A ROYAL PARTY.
One at Which the Question of Preee.
dence Was Not Raised.

Precedence, always a ticklish mat
ter, is doubly ticklish where an orr
entail nation is concerned. When
George ". was regent there was a
terrible to-do at court because the
Persian ambassador claimed prece-
dence over all the other ambassa-
dors. This not being allowed, he
refused to go to court at all. Tit
for tat, he was informed that he
would not be received at Carlton
House, neither would the ministers
receive his visits. Sackcloth and
ashes at the Persian embassy. Soon
afterward the prince regent met the
Fhah's representative at Lord Sails
bury's. ''Ah, I hope you are bet
ter" he said automatically. "Oh,
sir, I am very well" !" was the answer,
''but l am sorry that I offended
your royal highness by not going
to court" And he explained how
it had all come about.
"Now, sir,' the ambassador went
on, "my sovereign, he tell me to go
first, and your congress, about
which l know nothing, say I must
go last. Now, sir, this very bad for
me when l go back to Persia % And
he pointed with dismal significance
to his head. 'Well, my good friend,
never mind it now. 1t does not sig
Nifty" said the regent, with that
cheerfulness natural to a man who
has not a sovereign waiting to nip
off his head. E'Oh, yes, sir," protest
ed the Persian, ''but your royal
highness is still angry with me, and
you. have not invited me to your
party tomorrow night" The re-
gent laughed heartily, saying, Gas
a matter Of fact, I was only going
to have a few children to dance, but
if you would like to come I shall be
glad to see you" And the wise man
Of the east did go and wrote, vastly
proud, to his sovereign that he had
gone to the ball, the only ambassa-
dor invited. Not unnaturally he
did not burden the shah with the
particulars as to how this signal dis
tinction came to be conferred upon
him and Persia.-St. James Ga
zette.

Musical Family.

When Audubon was travelling in
Labrador he came one day upon q
house where the friendly inhab-
itants made much of him and his
companions and where the good
wife asked him if he played on any
instrument.

traordinarily fond of music and
have an instrument which has been
sent away for repairs. We miss it
greatly, for we can all play on it,
and when we are tired the servants
use it for u.s.
"You must be a very musical
family" said the naturalist. "What
sort of an instrument is it?"
She was perplexed.
"Gentlemen," said she, "my in
strument is large, longer than
broad and stands on four legs like
a table. At one end is a crooked
handle, by turning which, fast or
slow, / do assure you we make most
excellent music" !"
"a hand organ!"
She smiled deightedly.

Feeding Sheep
Economically.

Handling sheep and lambs the last
two or three years has been easy money
to almost every one that has touched
them, and the profit in the business
has been sufficient temptation. to get
some men back into the business who
do not have a strong personal pre-
dilection for the animals.
Any such who do go into raising or
feeding sheep or lambs are apt to not
take much note of the ways of animals
about their eating and may conse-
quently allow them to waste good
deal of grain. All who are familiar
with sheep know that though they eat
almost anything that is green and
clean, they will not eat dirty things,
especially grain or forage that has
been contaminated with their own
filth. Consequently it is a matter of
Importance to provide troughs for
grain and racks for roughage, into
which they cannot climb and stand or
even put their feet at all.
Probably the best way to make
troughs for grain is to build them
alongside and close up to board
fence or wall of a building, says
writer in Farm Progress. If this is
done and the trough, even though fiat
bottomed, is not very wide the sheep
will not be able to jump up into it and
stand in it, This would be the plan
for a single trough, and the sheep could
stand only On one side.
But troughs may be made fiat bot
toned and wide enough TO divide by a
board partition running along the mid

The CABBAGE Crop,

A considerable portion of the cab
bage crop is handled in bulk. When
forwarded by carload or shipload the
heads are cut from the stalks with q
heavy knife or light hatchet and all the
outer leaves left on. When prepared
for market they are dressed up by re-
moving the outer unbleached leaves.
Cabbages are often shipped in vent1-
lated or slat barrels. Tight barrels
keep them too warm and may cause
rotting. By far the best carrier for
shipping cabbage is the barrel size
crate. This carries the heads securely,
packs in well on board train or boat
and shows the quality Of the stuff
when arriving in market The heads
should be packed in the crates care
fully by hand. SO that the carriers will
not be slack when received by the
wholesalers.-W.N N. HUT.

Saving the Lambs.

4 young lamb from high priced reg
istered stock Is too valuable to lose,
but not every one is successful in rails
ing them by hand. If it must be done
that way l always turn them over to
my wife, writes breeder in Farm and
Fireside. When the lambs begin to
make their appearance she hunts up
the bottles, nipples and measuring
glass, also the dairy thermometer. She
Is very careful not to oyerfeed and
never gives over an ounce every two
hours, day and night, until the lamb is
a week old. Eighty-flve degrees is the
temperature we give. We find it bet
ter to feed the milk to them a little on
the cool order than too warm. Do not
feed milk from COW that has been
long in lactation If you can help it. We
try to have a fresh" cow when the
lambs begin to come, so If there must
be outcast lambs or ewes that have no
milk we can give them a start.

FINE FRUIT.
Peach Growing Is Popular In Many
New Enuland Sections

Peach Growing Is Popular In Many
New England Sections.
Despite the drawbacks often alleged
in peach growing the crop is a popular
one in many New England sections,
notably Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut and New Hampshire in a lesser
degree. The soil best adapted to the
crop is one well drained, rich and
rather sandy. Gravelly loans are de-
sirable. Those who have listened to
addresses Of J. H. Hale, New Eng
lands peach authority, know the i'm
portance he places on good air and
water drainage. He often says in ad-
dressing New England audiences, "Get
up on the hills and you will have the
best place in the world to grow
peaches" Potash and phosphoric acid
are the most important fertilizers for
the peach, nitrogen taking rather a
minor place. If leguminous cover
crops are grown in the orchard these

WEED CROPS.
Many Different Kinds That Germinate
In Succession.

Every successful farmer fnds that

certain way over the weeds, these

will work havoc in his little domain
and eventually his undoing.
The battle with them must be fought
increasingly, for they are constNItly on

to the weed crop.
A Great Variety.
The great difficulty is that a great
many give up the fight with the weeds
altogether too soon. Their first attacks
are fierce and spirited enough, but
they soon grow Indifferent and aban-
don them altogether. Now, the fact
is that weeds are of a great many diff
ferent varieties, which seem to be de
signed to germinate at different sea-
sons, one species following on the
as soon as their predecessors have
ripened their seeds. The result is that
wedding, vigorous at first, but soon
abandoned, leaves the way open and
unobstructed for the later varieties to
flourish unhampered, and so they are
never conquered or reduced, but their
reign is more firmly established from
year to year.

vigorously are altogether too careless
in their dealing with the weeds outside
of the cultivated fields, allowing them
to flourish unrestrained about the ma
nure heap all summer and scatter their
seeds broadcast upon it, to be advan-
tageously planted when it is drawn
out and strewn upon the fields in the
spring.

Sheep on Lequmes.

Care should be exercised in pastur-
ing sheep on clover or. in fact, on any
member of the legume family, for un-
less Judgment is used there may be
considerable loss from bloating. There
is right and a wrong way of pastur-
ing these crops TheI right way is to
allow the clover or alfalfa almost to
come into bloom before turning in the
sheep Then there should be .sown
with these crops some timothy. redtop
or any other nonleguminous plant, for
where there is mixture this way the
sheep will alternately eat one and the
other and so reduce the chance of bloat
When turning in the flock for the
first time they should be already filled
with food. For example, the day they
are to be turned into the clover pas
ture feed them early in the morning
a little grain and hay, and when the
sun is we'll up and hot turn them out.
Then instead of filing themselves at
once they will eat a little and then
look for cool spot to rest in. Joseph
Z. Wing has, he says, tried this plan
with great success. He also advises
ceptacle containing salt and air slack
ed lime mixed.
Once in the pasture they should new
er be moved until it comes time to
change to fresh pasture-that Is, they
should not be brought into the yards
at. night or they will be in danger of
bloating when let out again in the
morning

TUNNEL ADVENTURES.
A Fox Hunt In Which a Locomotive
Took Part.

ooH
A very strange incident happened
in the Severn tunnel recently.> just
as an express train entered the tun-
mel soldier in third class carriage
flung open the door and attempted
to jump out. Fortunately one of
the passengers succeeded IN seizing 3
the mans coat tails and with the aid
of other passengers held him there
head downward. They could not
pull him back, for the suction VI;
too great. The communication
cord was pulled, the train stopped
and the rescued man, who it APP
pears had suddenly become insane,
was placed under arrest.
This is not the first exciting inc
dent which has happened in the
great boring which carries the Greac
Western railway beneath the bed OF
the Severn. Some five years ago d
Cardiff commercial traveller went TO
sleep in a train bound from Cardiff
to Bristol and, waking with shock.
found himself lying in pitch DARK
ness beside the permanent way in
the tunnel. -
How he got there he had not the
faintest idea. Probably he had walk
ed in his sleep. At any rate, he was
not much hurt, though he had evi-
IDENTIFY been unconscious for some
time. He had not the faintest idea
how far it was to the entrance nor
which way to go. Soon he became
violently thirsty. He heard water
trickling down the wall close by, but
when he collected some in his hands
he found it was salt.
He made brave effort to find
his way out, but dizziness came on
and he, fell unconscious. AS he lay
there another train passed, and the
poor man must have had desper-
ately narrow escape, for it was
found that his left boot heel had
been cut off and his ankle sprained.
Plate layers found him eventually
and carried him to safety. He had
been six hours in the tunnel.
Some winters ago a Welsh tunnel
was the scene of a most exciting
episode. One day in January, 1902,
the Carmarthenshire hounds found
a fox, which made at first straight
for the coast, but, being turned by
some villagers, took to the railway
line and ran into a long tunnel, fol
lowed by the whole pack. The mas
ter, Mr.. Harries, realized the dan
ger to the hounds and at once fol-
lowed them.
He was fully a quarter of a mile
down the tunnel when a roaring
sound behind warned him that a
train had entered the tunnel. Al
most instantly the glare Of the
headlight lit the dripping walls, and
the horseman, clapping spurs to his
horse, began to gallop at full speed
through the darkness. Then fol-
lowed a most exciting race for life,
the man riding at the pitch Of his
horses pace, the train laundering
in pursuit.
By a sort of miracle the horse
kept his feet, but the train gained
rapidly. At last the white circle of
the tunnels mouth appeared, and
the driver Of the engine noticed the
black silhouette of the rider against
the light and slackened speed.
Rider, hounds and all came safely
out of the perilous predicament in
which they had plunged themselves.

in the summer and seed in the sum-
mer. Weeds are killed by winter frost
while the grass survives. Plow land
every fifth year. Apply five tons of
