window; she might be admitted to the
prison. In the first two of these she
was disappointed, and all her applica-
tons to gain access to the interior
were refused until a prison inspector
came to the inn who the next day was
to inspect the prison. Louise secured
an introduction, f1attered him and
begged that she might send a written
account. censored by him, Of the treat
ment of the prisoners. The official
seeing an opportunity to influence
American sentiment, turning it from
the current reports of barbarous treat
mcnt, consented.
The next day Louise went with the
official to inspect the prison. In time
they passed Ellsworth's cell. He was
sitting on Il stool, pale. detected. ema-
ciated. reading a fragment Of a news
paper. He did not look up. AS the
party passed on Louise Jagged. This
gave her the opportunity she desired.
She carried what seemed to be a
lady's bag for the purpose OF holding
handkcrchiefs. portemonnaie and such
articles. Instead it was a kodak she
had had constructed in New Orleans.
In a twinkling it had snapped, and she
had Ellsworth's picture.
The prisoner sat unconscious that his
old camera companion was looking at
him and that she had the proof re-
CURED to set him at liberty. The party
passed on, and that evening Louise
showed the official a report of the in
spection, which he approved at once.
\ few days later a deputy United
States consul with several persons to
whom Ellsworth was personally known

confined. The deputy was armed with
an order and a photograph. The order
read that he was to see the prisoners.
and if the counterpart of the photo
graph was among them he was to be
at once sent to Havana. When ELS
worth's cell was reached and a com

the photograph was his.

PARSNIPS FOR SPRING USE.
How to Care For the Roots During the

before the ground thaws up. He is
told by the editor to select Il piece of
ground naturally dry. or if this is not
available drainage must he provided
lower than the bottom Of the pit to
carry off the water. The pit is usually
dug from three and onc-half to four
and onr-half feet deep, six TO eight
feet wide and of the length required.
The roots are then packed in. in
narrow sections, two to three feet wide
across the pit, up to the level of the
surface. Leave Il space OF six on eight
inches between the sections, which is
filled With earth up to the top. This
leaves the pit filled with alternate sec
tionS of roots and earth.
This plan is of considerable advan-
tayc. as it is in fact 4 series of small
pits holding from four to six barrels
each. which car be taken out without
exposing the adjoining section. as it
is protected by the layer or partition
of soil between. The parSnipS will

err the digeStibility of the dry feed.
The large amount of work necessary to

sponsib'e for the less satisfactory re-
suits obtained. Then. too. the long
storage of fodder, wen under favorable
conditions. decreases both di@estibility
and palatability.
This argument for green food does
not mean that the cow should not have
grain also, as q cOw giving 4 heavy

DUCK RIDs ROOM OF FLIES

The manager OF a big Chicago hotel
has found a very simple solution of
the fly problem II Is a flock OF ducks.
The ordinary hotel perhaps has no
particular accommodation for live
ducks; but In this there is a fountain
in the center of the approaches to the
various dining rooms The fountain
has a large basin, and just by way Of
novelty the manager several months
ago placed a few ducks In the water.
They padded around and enjoyed It.,
and the guests enjoyed seeing them.
But. better still. the ducks also enjoy

the dining rooms and feast upon the
good things therein. The flies-iI

as any one who has ever seen them
knows, are especially quick in catch
ing insects The consequence is, this
particular hotel. once troubled with
flies. now has practically none. And
the ducks, once lean to verge Of
scrawniness, are fat and sleek.
The duck method of disposing of
the fly nuisance cannot, Of course, OBJ

gree: but in this particular hostelry
the ducks have caused the wire fly

the ash heap.

manager will attach some sort Of

many flies each busy fowl has disposed

GERMANY LAST OF EMPIRES?
Kaiser Wilhelm. With Prophetic Eye,
Foresees the Inevitable Coming OF
Triumphant Republics.

my son will be the last of the en-
have told the historian, Karl Won
Kroon, recently. "All the world will
be republican within so years. Ger
many will be the last of the empires.
1t is inevitable"
The kaiser is credited with being a
far-sighted politician as well as an
able upholder of his prerogative as a
sovereign. He sees the drift of the
times as other crowned heads see it.
Monarchy is passing, even in England.
1t has passed in France and Portugal;
it has become merely nominal in other
European countries. EveA China has
become a republic. Germany is con-
sentative on the subject. no doubt be-
cause it has had excellent rulers.
From an American point of view 1t
seems likely that the last nation to
change. as the kaiser prophesies-to
be even later than Russia.
Monarchism, like feudalism, has had
a proper place in the evolution of civ
ilization. but. like feudalism, 1t must
go. There have been few real kings
and queens whose work for the world
has been great, and the ideal of king
ship. as Carlyle paints it, inspires
high sentiments and noble deeds. But
this is an age in which kings and
queens have little to do and In which
education is SO widely diffused as to
make the real leaders recognizable as
the need of them arises. The world
progresses politically as it progresses
materially, intellectually and morally.
