CAT AND FOX MEET.
And Reynard Retires the Worse for the
Meeting

In a recent number of a German sport
ing paper forester describes a scene
which he witnessed in clearing in the
forest.
He came one afternoon upon a big
black cat, occupied apparently in the
pursuit Of mice, and from the shelter of
a tree he watched its movements through
a field glass. After few minutes an
old fox made it's appearance. Sinking
slowly forward toward the cat. it lay
down within a few steps of it, ready to
spring.
The cat had observed it's enemy, but
beyond keeping sharp lookout on its
movements it made no sign. Shortly a
young fox jointed the old one, and almost
Immediately bounded at the cat, which
sprang aside and struck its assailant so
efficaciously across its face with its
sharp claws that it retired as quickly as
it came. After an interval the old fox.
advancing slowly and carefully, made its
attack: the result was the same. the cat.
splitting and kissing. struck out hard, and
the fox retired discounted.
A minute afterward it again sprang
forward, but this time the cat got much
the best of it and was left in peace

ITALY's NEW LEASE OF LIFE.
Her Commerce and Influence ii the Near
East Growing Fast.

Perhaps it is not generally known
how remarkably Italy's commerce IN the
Near East has grown within recent
years. In 1900 her exports to Turkey
were valued at about 81, 5OO,OOO and her
imports from the same country at about
S5,OOO.OOO. Four years later exports
had nearly doubled and imports had in
creased by $2,500,OOO.
This development of commerce along
the routes once dominated by the Nene-
tan republic is said to be due in large
part to the initiative of the present King
and according to the Atlantic Monthly
has brought with it renewed prosperity
to the ancient and glorious commercial
city.
Nor is this eastward activity confined
to trade and industry. 1t is well known
that many inhabitants of the Dalmation
coast, though Austrian subjects, are 1tal-
ian in race, language and sympathies.
Powerful unofficial organizations, like
the Dante society, are busily promoting
the Italian language and culture through
out the rejuvenated Turkish empire. 1t
is even asserted that in consequence of
improved relations between Quirinal and
Vatican religious orders, especially the
Franciscans, have eagerly taken up this
Italian propaganda.

A FIERY DUCHESS.
King Edwards Eldest Daughter Makes
Things Lively at Home.

King Edward is considerably worried
over the health of his eldest daughter,
the Duchess of Fife, whose fits of de
preston" are becoming frequent. The
King recently visited her at her house in
Portman square and remained to lunch.
During the meal he noticed that the
service was bad and remarked upon it.
The absence of fOotman caused long
waits between the courses, greatly to the
annoyance of the King, who is a stickler
for punctuality. The princess was very
much agitated, and finally explained that
the real reason for the dis0rganized serv-
ice was that a number Of her servants
had quit incontinently that morning. Her
irritability when in these morbid fits is
such that she cannot induce her servants
to remain in the house, while the duke
is equally irascible, as was instanced by
an incident at the opening of the White
City, when lie punched lmre kiraify
because the arrangements for the Prince
of Wales We're pad. In consequence of
the tempers of the Duke and Duchess of
Fife the household is changed about
every month. The duke and duchess
are now en- route to Egypt with their
two daughters. They have chartered a
Dahabeah for the Nile trip and it is
hoped the sunshine of the lotus land will
restore their good nature.

COWBOY STUNTS.
Australian Whip Cracking-The Crinohne
of Mr.. WEIGH

The stock whip in the skilful hands OF
the Australian is not only an article OF
the greatest utility but also a Formidable
weapon. Owing to its great length-the
lash varies from u to 30 feet-and the
sho~>-eSs Of the butt, which measures
only IS inches, it is ALI extremely difficult
ana awkward thing to WELD and the be-
ginner is apt to hurt himself if he does
rot exercise care when practicing.
y we'll trained stockman, however, can
hit a cent every time at ten PAGES dis
lance. and with the dreaded lash III his
hand. cracking like pistol shots, can
keep Il mob of wild cattle in check. II
used with full force it will cut through
skin and flesh like a knife, says The
Wide World Magazine, but unless a
beast shows distinct vice the st0ckman
uses It more for the purpose of Installing
fear than Of causing pain.
1t can also be used as a bolaS-a Pata-
sonian form of the lasso-and an adept
can catch and hold a beast by causing
the lash to curl around its legs.
The skill of the Australian with the
stock whip is more than equalled by
American cowboys with the lass0. One
Of the guild by the name of WEIGH has Il
pretty trick called the crinoline in which
the rope is kept whirling around the
body in concentric rings like huge and
very animated nOOpSklfL. ms IfIch
looks ridicul0usly easy, but the beginner
will find that like many simple looking
feats it cannot be learned in a day; he
will also probably discover that a Manila
rope is painfully hard when it comes i'll
contact with the head.
Mr.. WEIGH will undertake to throw this
lasso around any portion of a horse OF
its rider as it passes at a gallOp and the
skilful manner in which he gets his rope
about horses legs as the animal lifts
them from the ground for an instant, in
the act of cantering is nothing short of
marvellous. He can also completely tie
/ man up from distance of 30 feet by
throwing succession of half bitches
over MIN with astonishing accuracy.

Drawing Room When Calling.
A number of customs which used to
be part and parcel of the social system
are being much modified or are fast dis
appearing altogether. Paying afternoon
calls, for instance, and conversation aft
er dinner have been completely elbowed
out by bridge.
Dining out, unless you are bridge
player, is reduced to a minimum" says
THE Gentlewoman, land those who can
not ioin in the fashionable game have to
be content with an invitation to lunch
con where they used to dine.
among the minor changes in social
usages I have remarked lately that it is
now quite demOde for lady to take the
arm Of a gentleman under any circum-
stances whatever, except just tor gong
into dinner, and that perfunctory sign OF
feminine weakness will also probably
disappear very soon.

This was the comedy Of it; the tragedy
was furnished by an accusation of poi

by one of the most fashiOnably dressed

FUNGUS POTATOES.
Old Disease That Is Caused by Too
Much Wet Weather.

Much Wet Weather.
Last July and early in August we
had considerable wet weather. The
potato tops suffered badly from a
blight. However. the vine recovered
sufficiently to mature a fair crop All
through the winter the query was
What makes the cooked potato have
such sweet tastes? And again on
cutting the tuber q browniSh streak
or blotch appears all through the tu-
Der, resembling marble cake. This
is seated mostly beneath where the
eyes are and about one-eighth of an
inch from the surface. The potato
shows no outward sign of disease ex-
cept that the eyes do not push as rap
idly on a diseased potato as they do
on one free from it. These streaks are
about one inch long and one-fourth
inch wide.
The query was, what caused that
peculiar streaklng in the tuber?" In
looking over a history of fungoids and
fungous disease of the potato we find
that a very similar condition existed
In Ireland in 1S45, resulting in a great
potato famine there. That year was
very wet year. and the natural moist
climate of Ireland gave a great i'm
| petus to this disease. 1t has not reap
peared to any great extent till last
year. 1t bears no resemblance to the
| potato scab either on the tuber or the
| foliage. In this disease the leaves turn
q brOwnish black color and drop off.
while the stalk or stem may retain
some vitality even to sending out du-
plicate leaves, though much smaller.
The disease is. however, carried down
to the tuber and is seen there as de-
scribed. In dry seasons or in dry Sec
tons no alarm need be felt as to the
disease spreading, but in low moist
sections care should be exercised.
Affected tubers should by no means
be planted. Varieties resisting blights
in general are safer for planting so
as to be sure that this peculiar blight
gets no hold. In some parts of Eu-
rope it is bad. and no doubt but that
II has been introduced into this coun-
try from there. A few years ago we
received from England some varieties,
but nothing wrong was noticed at that
time. Should the disease appear on
the foliage sprayings of bordeaux
should be given every ten or twelve
days, through the season.-National
Stockman and Farmer.
