Admired.

HandiwOrk of Many a Princess Is
Admired.
Can princess earn her own living
Most assuredly she can, or could If she
had to, for the royal ladies of Europe
are a very clever set Of women.
The Duchess Philip Of Wurtemberg,
for instance, who Is one Of the most
popular royal ladies in Germany, con-
triyed such a scientific surgeons ban
dage that 1t has been taken up by man
ufacturers and patented.
Then there is the royal matchmaker,
the Princess Hermione Of Reuss, who is
skilled matchmaker and whose work
has often been shown at exhibitions all
over Germany.
The Archduchess Friedrich of Aus
tria has a remarkable hobby in the
making of scented wax candles, which
she molds and prepares with her own
fingers A storm In a teapot was re-
Gently raised in Austrian court circles
by the princess characteriZing as pre-
posterous extravaganza" time-honored
custom observed in all Austrian pal
aces, that candle which has once been
extinguished may not, under any cir
cumstances, be relighted. As the Arch
duchess Friedrich was greatly admired
by the Emperor Francis Joseph, her
announcement resulted in an order 60
ing forth that the custom-at all events
where the handiwork Of the archduch-
ess was concerned-should be aban-
doned.
Even hat making is not beneath the
royalty, and the Duchess of Guise (who
was Princess Isabelle of Bourbon Or
leans) Is skilful milliner and maker
Of artificial flowers She is considered
one of the best dressed women In Eu-
rope and invariably has her dresses
trimmed with her own handiwork.
Princess Carl Of Sweden, daughter
Of King Frederick VIII, of Denmark,
has since her early days been a clever
maker of children's toys. In the Swed-
ish capital, Princess Ingeborg's name IS
synonymous in this connection with
skilled workmanship.
The Kaiserin's favorite collar, a
birthday present from Princess Arnulf
of Bavaria, is a beautiful piece of
| work, which took the royal lace maker
three and a half years to complete.
Princess Arnulf Of Bavaria, when
still Princess Therese Of Liechtenstein.

ROAD DuEt for the Chickens.
Doubtless you have noticed, when
tired, hot, perSpiring and dusty, how
grateful and refreshing cool bath is,
and what an aid it proves in toning I'D
the general health. A considerable
breeder will see that his fowls enjoy
this same comfort-only in their nat
ural way, generous dust bath.
A commodiouS box or large heap of
fine road dust should be kept in easy
reach of the fowls at all times. This
will greatly aid in keeping them free
from lice and vermin of all kinds. and
helps the plumage to retain its natural
brilliancy.
During the warm season a good sup
ply of this dust should be gathered and
stored in boxes and barrels for use in
the winter. 1t will be appreciated by
the fowls, and will be found to benefit
them in about the same degree as in
the summer time.
1t is good plan to sift the dust as
it is gathered. describing all the stones
and Jumps. The fine dust should then
be placed in some dry place where
dampness will not affect it, until want

The Orchards that Pay.

The Houston Post says: There
are few pear orchards which were
planted during the craze which are
still bearing and which yield good re-
turns yearly. But for every tree which
is now living and Bearing 5000 per-
ished from one cause or another-most-
ly from neglect-and the word has
gone forth, accompanied by true tales
of heavy losses, that pears can't be
made to grow in South Texas"
What does this prove? Simply the
experience in every other line of in
duStry. The orchards that were prop
erly cared for are still there and are
yielding good returns. Those which
were neglected or improperly cared for
went to ruin, but who is the best wit
ness as to whether pears can be made
to grow in South Texas, one who has
made practical demonstration or one
who has simply failed through lack of
intelligent effort and common pru-
ce?-San Antonio Express.

won, to quote Judge Taft: THE loss
to the business of the receiver would
not be ground for recovering dam
ages, and Phelan wouIc not have
been liable for contempt, even if the
strike much impeded the operation
OF the road under the order OF the

vice, or issuing an order based on
unsatisfactory terms of employment,
would have been entirely lawful.
