The Bonapartes have always kept
party. Rich and influential families over
all France taught their children to look
on Prince Victors inaction as a temporary
misfortune. A great moneyed section OF
the population owes its start to the first
or the third NapOleon-active people, diff
ferent from the incapable royalists.
There must be something in it; other
wise how could the mere marriage of
Victor to rich and powerful princess set

this fruit will some day be almost as

to be hardy. They bear so heavily that
the limbs break. and they last for forty
or fifty years before the fruit fails.
There are many other persimmons in
Asia which have seeds, but they all grow
large and they are one Of the most COM

have a method of taking out the astrin-

several days in cask or tub which has

Besides, who would put in their place.

the coup de force of a general Is perfectly
natural simple and feasible. To see a
republican general hesitate before reply

will succeed by aid from the army" The

found to grow better than our famous
South Carolina rice, which was long con-
sidered the best of the world. Not long
ago we sent the late DR.. S. A. Knapp to
Japan, and he brought back rice from
the island of kiushu which has revolu-
