Special Gable Despatch to THE SrS.
BERLIN. April 37.-America' g overbear-
ing methods In diplomacy in addition to
the potash wrangle are declared TO be the
cause OF the resignation OF DR.. David
Jayne Hill. the United States Ambassador
TO Germany. Several newspapers will print
articles Of the following purpert to-mor-
row:
During the last few months there has
been lively diplomatic dispute between
America and Germany which had its origin
in the overbearing tone adopted by the
State Department at Washington in its
negotiations with the Imperial Govern
ment. This dispute has attracted no at
tention heretofore because those respon-
sble for tho German foreign policy have
avoided publicity
The dispute. however. has assumed at
times a serious if not absolutely threaten
ing aspect. II appears that the United
States. owing TO its intercourse with
smaller States on the American continent.
is accustomed to dipl omatic methods
which while possibly acceptable by weaker
neighbors are totally intolerable to Ger
many.
In the course of the potash nego, iat!ons
II was borne in upon America that such
methods cannot be employed In it's
diplomatic intercourse with the German
nation. The experience gained thereby
will Individually teach the United States
how to deal suitably with a first class
! European Power and what Is to he avoided
if friendly relations with the German
Empire are TO be maintained.
Four weeks ago the essential point in
this dispute was settled in Germany s
favor The real reason for the resigna-
ton Of Ambassador Hill must therefore
be sought either in his personal dissatis-
faction or in that Of the American Govern
ment at the result OF the negotiations. "a

We had sold him be fore in small way, and he always noid. He had enlarged his business. he told us, and wanted bigger line than usual, but before making his se- factions he wanted us to give him ref erences. We expressed surprise at such an unheard of demand, but he said, My two brothers-in-law have zone in with me, and they're very par ticular as to whom they do business with. So we sent him to our banks. and he came back, said we were all right, picked out big line of goods, and in sixty days he busted We couldn't collect a dollar. Two years later I met the man in Cincinnati and told him we had become reconciled to our loss. But will you please tell me- I asked, why did you want references as to our credit?'

Hope-Scott, whose daughter held the estate for some years.

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of it to the king till next morning, when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep, as you may see from this in- stance. The most dreadful blow or my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at o'clock in the even- ing. For many hours l was quite overcome, but at midnight went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrand's niece. in her mem OirS.

In the Cumberland Lodge portion of the royal gardens at Windsor there is a vine, known all over England as the Cumberland Lodge vine, which is a shoot of a still older vine which grows at Hampton Court, but the shoot has far outdistanced its parent in dimen- sions and productiveness. In England grapes are generally grown under glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine has great glass structure, 12O feet long by 20 wide, all to itself. Growing with astonishing luxuriance, the vine spreads itself over a roof area of 2,4O0 square feet and bears annually a crop of approximately a thousand huge punches of the finest f1avore' "rapes These grapes are frequent! d on the royal table, and the subjet. who Is presented with basket of them con siders himself highly favored.

It was just about nichtfall when the accident occurred. and inas much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning ne decided to fix up his shooting iron, Finding walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like a charm.
 "How did you do it?' asked one of the number greatly surprised.
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittled away. When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want you have a gun. stock. k."-Kansas City Journal,

will utilize, there is no valid reason why every general farmer should not add a considerable amount to his an- nual income by giving a portion of his time to the production of poultry and eggs. The writer has for sev- eral years past utilized a part of small peach orchard for a poultry run. The trees inside of the runs have outgrown the others two to one. They ane free from borers and the fruit is superior in size, color and quality to that growing on trees on ly two or three rods distant, but outside the runs. We annually raise from one thousand to fifteen hum dred chicks in the apple orchard of about eight acres and although we have never sprayed th's orchard. the trees and the fruit are equal in ev- cry respect to orchards that are heavily sprayed every year. The chickens destroy countless myriadi of worms and insects, and the fruit grower especially should study the proposition of poultry growing. as there is nothing else that dovetails in with fruit growing so nicely and to such good advantage to both, as does the poultry business.
