New York.-Mrs Germaine Levers,
teacher in public school 80, has

Francis Charles Of capua Hasn't Had
Haircut or Washed Himself In
Recollection Of Attendants.

Rome.-Extraordinar revelations
are made Of the mode Of life of Fran
cis-Charles of Bourbon, prince Of Cap
va, who is seventyshve and has lived
a madman's life for forty years in the
Villa Marlia Capannori. For several
years now he has not spoken, having
apparently been struck deaf and dumb
In an apoplectic seizure. Every morn
ing at a servant knocks at the door
of the princes bed-chamber and bur
riedly places the breakfast tray-a
sumptuous repast-through a sliding
jumps out Of bed naked, throws toga
around his shoulders, and hides till
the domestic has disappeared. He
cannot bear any one to see him. He
has neither shaved, had his hair cut,
washed or cut his nails within the
memory of his oldest retainers. For
merly, IL he saw any one approaching
him, he would make the most terrible
noise, but nowadays, unable to give
vent to his feelings thus, he claws
at the air in front of him and lashes
out with his fists, though the intru-
ders may be one hundred yards or
more away.
But the most remarkable perform
ance takes effect after breakfast. Day
after day, year in and year out, no
matter what the weather is like. the
unfortunate old man rushes stark
naked out Of the room, down the cor
ridor, across the terrace of the villa
to a chair. 1t is always the same
chair. Once 1t was removed and the
prince fell down in one of his oft-re-
curing fits. Seated on the chair he
dresses himself slowly, being general
ly presentable by midday. The rest
of the day is spent within a circle
of four or five square yards The
prince never moves further away than
that from the chair. Round AMI round
he walks, sharing his meals with the
birds.
He takes great delight in smashing
all the crockery each day. At p. m.
Is time for bed. A servant appears
and that is enough. Fighting the
imaginary foe, the old man rushes on
to his room and locks the door.

MUCH BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Should Get Together on Propositions
to Sell Products and on Securing
Lower Rates.

Farmers may learn something from
the experience of other business
Many manufacturers have not capital
enough to run their business, and 1t
is common for them to make an agree
ment with a commission merchant
by which he loans money to the man
ufacturer, receives the manufactured
goods on consignment, sells them,
and out of the proceeds repays the
loan, and turns the balance over to
the manufacturer. The commission
merchant employs a competent per-
son to watch the process OF manufac-
ture to see that it is done to the best
advantage. Experience shows that
this arrangement is advantageous to
both parties. Improvements suggest
ed by the merchants agent are often
a great benefit to the manufacturer,
writes Everett P. Wheeler in the Ru-
raj New Yorker. His goods are sold
to much better advantage than he
could sell them himself, and he gets
the capital which he needs.
It seems to me that a similar ar
rangement could be worked out by a
group of farmers in any county. II
they would club together, get in touch
with some of the commission mer-
chants who make business Of selling
farm products, they could make an
agreement by which money should be
advanced upon their crops, and these
crops should be consigned for sale
to the commission merchant. Agree
ments could be made for lower freight
rates, IL the farm products we're
shipped by the carload.
OF course the success of such a
business would depend entirely upon
the efficiency and good faith Of those
engaged IN it. But this is true Of ev-
cry business. There are many com
mission merchants who do their bust
ness well and honestly. Every farmer
who has had experience knows who
the commission merchants are that
sell his products to the best advan-
tage. In short, all this business can
be done II the farmers will combine
and work together In any particular
locality. There is nothing that the
federal government can do for them
except possibly to investigate the sub
ject. The federal government has nc
more power to charter societies for
the purpose than it has to run dis
trict school. II incorporation should
be needed, the state laws offer ample
facilities for the purpose. 1t is moi
new legislation that is wanted. It Is
really cooperation among the farm
ers.
Your correspondent, G.. asks:
What is needed to save the life of q
cooperative institution IL it does moi
happen to be q profitable concern
Ny answer is watchfulness on the
part Of those engaged in 1t. know
of a small cooperative real estate
company that is profitable and has
lived for many years. In all proba
bility 1t will live for many years more
because the stockholders watch the
managers and see that their business
is done right.

foreign to the builders intentions.
Perhaps the most noted case is that
of the United States steam sloop-of-
war Wateree, which was washed
ashore by a tidal wave at africa, Chilli,
under circumstances almost identical
to those attending the wrecking of
the Osiris.
1t was soon seen that it was impos-
sible to get the Wateree OF; 1t would
have cost far more than the vessel
was worth. So she was abandoned
by the crew and sold for old junk. But
instead OF breaking her up the Gillian
who bought her had imagination
enough to see what splendid chance
he had to make really big money out
of her as a curiosity. So he fitted
the Wateree up as a hotel. cafe and
restaurant, leaving her hull just as
it was, however, and his quaint es-
tablishment soon became a recognized
pilgrimage for all pleasure seekers In

OEREL|CTS OF OCEAN

San Francisco Steamer Stranded of
Guatemala Is Made to Light a
TOWN.. s. WarshIp Served
as Hotel In Chilli.

San Francisco.-Suppose you lived
In a blistering bit of Central Ameri-
can village, with the jungle steaming
on one side Of you and the sea blaz-
Ing endlessly on the other, with
smelly kerosene lamps for illumina-
ton and the Injuries of life fewer
than you'd expect to find in an Arr
IONA adobe. And then suppose tidal
wave came along and smashed things
up pretty generally, but ended by
picking up a fine big steamer and
washing her over the bar into shoal
water near the beach, leaving her
there high and dry.
The funny thing about this particu-
lar story, however, is that 1t is true,
says a writer. 1t actually happened.
1t was along about four years ago
that the steamer Osiris of the Kos
mos line of San Francisco was lying
of Ocos, Guatemala, when an earth
quake shook that part of the world
and was followed by a tidal wave big
enough to pick up the steamship as
II she had been a fishing smack and
carry her over the intervening sand
banks to point near the beach,
where 1t dropped her neatly between
two reefs just sufficiently far apart
to provide her with comfortable
girdle.
When her crew left her, judging
her to be of no further use, a citizen
Of Ocos, who had some experience Of
civilized life, rowed out to the unin-
jured wreck and cast a speculative
eye over her contents. Later, he sent
to Mexico for the necessary mate
rails, and proceeded to form the Ocos
Electric Light and Power company.
Ocos took the hook all the way down
It's gullet-and then struggled for
more. To think Of having a real cleo
trio lighting plant! 1t was hardly to
be believed. And every citizen Of
Ocos lorded 1t over the citizens of
the other village seaports along the
Guatemalan coast which could not
boast such munificent luxury.
Then, behold, as JOY and pride were
at their height, what should happen
but brief communication to the Ocos
Electric Light and Power company

from the Kosmos line of San Fran
cisco, stating that salvage operations
would shortly be begun with an idea
of getting the unchanged hull Of the
Osiris into deep water. so that she
might resume her peregrinations
along the Pacific coast.
Can you imagine the grief in Ocos?
Can you conceive the misery of the
mayor, who saw his streets deprived
of their glowing decorations and en-
blems of progress?
1t has been almost too great bur
den of disappointment for Ocos to
bear. They have seen their source Of
