m EMPEROK's troubles.
GERMANY’S RULER AFFECTED BY
DEFORMITY AND DISEASE.
A Combination of Circumstances at
His Birth Sent Him Through
Life With a Withered Arm.
In Paris two days ago, says a eab’e
gram to the New York ‘Sun, I talked
about Emperor William with a friend
whoso fame as a medical man is world
wide and obtained for your readers mo d
interesting and definite information as
to the young ruler's physical condition.
The information may be relied upon as
exact beyond auy question.
“Young William was unlucky in the
first place,” said my friend, “in having a
Princess for a mother, and o jually so in
having been born a Prince. Those two
circumstances account for his unhappy
deformity. The usually accepted ac
counts of its nature and origin are imag
inative rubbish. The Crown Princes*
Frederick was, as is generally known,
traveling in an out-of-way place at a
very indiscreet period. The birth of the
present German Emperor was unex
pected and he was helped into the world
by some obscure little doctor with an
awe for royalty far iu excess of hi*
knowledge of surgery. If he had been
alloxved to think that his patient was
simply an ordinary woman of strong
physique, all would probably have been
well; but the fact was carefully im
pressed upon him that he had in his
hands the life of the future Queen, and
the child would, perhaps, be heir to the
Prussian throne. This so d".morali ed
the little doctor that he added the
strength of his own muscles to the forces
of nature and so severed all the muscles
of the infant’s left arm.
“When I was called to Windsor by
Queen Victoria to attend the-little boy
I saw at once that his was hopeles .
If he had been a grocer’s son, some good
doctor would have been called in, and
some sound method of cure adopted and
followed. As a Prince, however, he had
to be seen by every good doctor, no
system was followed out, and the worst
possible result of the accident ensued,
namely, complete atrophy of the arm.
“It is wasted completely away, and is
probably smaller than when I examined
him as a boy at Windsor. Fortunately
such wonderful skill has been shown by
the German suigeons as to save him from
the mortification of having it plainly
seen that one of his arms is simp y the
withered arm of a child. The withered
limb is padded out in a most lifelike
fashion, and not only that, but with n
the padding is a most wonderfully clever
machine, a series of strings and cords
acting like the muscles of the arm. These
artificial muscles are connected with the
good muscles of the shoulder most
adroitly, so that while in a natural con
dition he would be incapable of moving
bis withered arm. This most ingenious
mechanism enables him to impart to it
movements that are almost lifelike. lie
can raise or lower his artificial hand and
use it sufficiently well to guide carefully
trained and broken chargers which are
selected for him.”
The readers of this letter will remem
ber that I have frequently insisted upon
the great gravity of the disease concen
trated in the uulucky Emperor's head,
and which is officially describled as a
slight affection of the ear. Aly state
ments as to the seriousness of this trouble
weie based upon authentic information
from the Merlin court and are confirmed
t>y the comment of the physician quoted
•above.
“The Emperor’s deformity,” said he,
“is nothing, except as it mortifies and
irritates an extremely proud and sensi
tive man; but the disease in his head is
one which may have most serious con
sequences for all Europe. It may drive
the Emperor to the most extravagant
acts, or suddenly, by killing him. end
the speculation as to what his career
may be.
“I can tell you positively that it
already makes him insane at intervals.
He was insane when he delivered certain
speeches which his advisers were com
pelied to revise and interpret officially.
He was mentally deranged by his suffer
ing and the direct effect of his malady
upon the brain. All the skill of the
doctors about him is concentrated to
fight the disease that is growing in his
head. Once already it has gone beyond
tlie control of the doctors, and the Em
peror suffered a most dreadful attack, all
knowledge of which was carefully kept
from the public. When the disease
reaches a certain point, there will come
an explosion, and the Emperor will
either die or become hopelessly insane.
“Ju-t what the disease is I will not
say. Its nature may be described as
that of a tumor and an abnormal growth
within the brain. The skill of his phy
sicians may fight off the final stages of
the disease for a longer period than at
present seems probable, but there is very
little hope that they will ne able to
cure it.
“The young Emperor is decidedly an
unlucky man. Old Emperor William
suffered, which is not generally known,
from a form of epilepsy, and his grand
son, who has inherited the trouble, is
also a'Hicted with fits epileptic in char
acter.”
Planting 1 Seed by Artillery.
Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in expedients.
His son relates the following example of
his ingenuity: The Duke of Athol con
sulted him as to some improvements
which he desired to make in his wood
land scenery near Dunkeld. Among
other things, a certain rocky crag needed
to be planted with trees, to relieve the
grim barrenness of its appearance. The
question was how to do it, as it was im
possible for any man to climb the crag
in order to set seed or plants in the clefts
of the rock. A happy idea struck my
father. Having observed in front of the
castle a pair of small cannon, used for
tiring salutes on great days, it occurred
to him to turn them to account. A tin
smith in the village was ordered to make
a number of canisters with covers. The
canisters were tilled with all sorts
of suitable tree seeds. The can
non was loaded and the canisters
were fired up against the high face ot
the rock, 'l hey burst and scattered the
seed in all directions. Some years after,
when my father revisited the place, he
was delighted to find that his scheme ol
planting by artillery had proved com
pletely successful; the trees were flour
ishing luxuriantly in all the recesses ol
the cliff. — Argonaut.

Genuine and Artificial Honey.
Mr. Worthington G. Smith, the emi
nent microscopist, finds that genuine
honey can be readily distinguished from
manufactured houey by the microscope.
The former has few or no sugar crystals
and abounds with pollen grains, while
the imitations have little else than these
crystals, with rarely a trace of pollen
grains. The honeyed taste of the manu
factured article, he thinks, may come
from honeycomb or bees’ wax being
mashed up with the article used in the
manufacture. Fach class of plants has
its own specific foim of pollen grain, and
Mr. Smith says that any one conversant
with this branch of botany could tell
from what part of the world the honey
came, by studying the pollen grains it
might contain. The honey he had was
English honey, and it abounded with
grains of Leguminosce, especially beans
and clover, the English heath and even
ing primroses. In America, however,
bees freely visit Composit e—not, how
ever, for honey, but for the pollen.
They are, indeed, among the most popu
lar of flowers with our pollen gatherers.
As the bees make a separate task of
honey-gathering from pollen-gathering,
this may account for the rarity of the
pollen grains of this order in honey.—

A Chess-Playing Sultan.
The present Sultan of Turkey is one
of the most enthusiastic chess amateurs
in Europe. He will play the game for
hours without intermission, and will not
allow any matter of state to interfere
with the problem in which at the time
he is engnged. His ministers often find
themselves unable to approach the
imperial presence for the reason that
the Sultan is deep iu a game. They and
their statecraft have to wait until the
Sultan has checkmated his adversary or
decided upon the next move. Abdul
Hamid has his own court chess player, a
Hungarian, who receives a handsome
salary for letting the Sultan win a few
games off him each day. It is said that
the present court chessman’s predecessor
was dismissed from office because he un
generously insisted on profiting by his
superior skill, and checkmated his im
perial antagonist every time. The
Hungarian master therefore plays a very
poor game to the Sultan, and makes a
point of looking crestfallen at each de
feat, whereat the the thirty-fifth repre
sentative of the House of Otham crows
■with delight and claps his hands. —

FARM AND GARDEN.
A Cheap Snow Plow.
Every country place where much snow
falls should have a snowplow in readi
ness to save most of the slow and labori
ous work of shoveling snow. With such
an implement one man with a horse can
clear out all the paths that may be neces
sary in an hour’s time, that would take
all day with shovels. All that is wanted
is two pieces of heavy boards about six
feet long and fifteen to eighteen inches
wide, set on edge in the form of the let
ter A with braces across to keep them in
position. Bind the forward ends of the
planks together by nailing on irons bent
to suit and with a hook for the whiffie
tree. —New Yrk World.
Currying and Brushing Horses.
It is quite true that horses will live
without the use of the currycomb and
brush, but they will live and do much
better with it. The skin of auy animal
is continually exuding matter of various
kinds—the waste of the system and the
dead surface, which is always being re
placed by new growth. This must be
removed in some way, and in its natural
condition the horse rolls and rubs itself,
and as well as it cast gets rid of the exu
dation from its skin. A domesticated
horse ha 3 not these opportunities, and
the owner must afford a substitute, which
is best done by the currycomb and a
stiff brush. A clean, slick-coated horse
is always in a healtny condition, and the
skin is a very satisfactory indication of
the health of the horse. A horse that is
working should be thoroughly cleaned
both morning and night by means of a
card or currycomb aud a stiff brush.—
New York Times.
Deep Soil For Potatoes.
In relation to deep soil for potatoes,
the Country Gentlemen says: Potatoes
and corn differ in one important par
ticular. A severe drouth of temporary
continuance, causing the leaves of corn
to wither, does not seriously aTect the
amount of the crop, while it may greatly
reduce potatoes. G’orn planted on in
verted sod, plowed only five or six
inches deep, will yield more.than on a
6even or eight-inch sod. On the con
trary, potatoes are best on a deep soil.
We have known sub-soiling to increase
the potato crop over thirty per cent, as
compared with contiguous land notsub
soi ed. A row of potatoes over a filled
ditch yielded double the rows in other
part of the field. The roots of potatoes
run deeper than those of corn. Potatoes
require a continued supply of moist
ture, and a deep soil will drink in a
copious rain and give it out to the crop
in time of drouth.
Cannibal Two-Winged Flies.
The larv.u of certain insects are bene
ficial to man, because of"their habit of
feeding upon the bodies of, and the eby
causing the death of their hosts. Of
these beneficial cannibals there are two
classes, one of which deposits its eggs in
or upon the body of its victim, wlie.e it
hatches, and the larva feeds upon the
living tissues of its victim; the other
catches its prey and devours it piece
meal, or sucks its juices out and casts
the more solid portion aside.
To this latter cla-s belong the larva? of
certain two-winged flies of the Syrphus
family. The adult flies closely resemble
bees in their color, and indeed, in some
parts of the country they are called
“sweat bees” by the boys. Their larvae are
particularly fond of plant-lice, and few
sights are more interesting than to see the
footless maggot carefully groping about
until within reach of its victim, when it
stretches out its pointed head, pierces
the louse, and, holding it aloft,sucks out
the juices from its plump body and casts
the caicass to the winds.
A species of these larvae destroys the
apple-root louse; another attacks the
louse found ou the apple leaves; others
attack the lice found on various other
plants. The larvae of Syrphus ribesii
have been known to clear the plum tree
of the lice peculiar to it. When the lice
have caused the leaves to curl so as to
prevent the insecticides that may be ap
plied to the tree from reaching them,
these larva* are particularly useful in
following them into such strongholds
and completely clearing them out. —

Apoplexy In Swine.
Apoplexy is usually a disease of fat
hogs, although an animal that has long
been thin or suffering from excessive
irritation of the intestinal canal would
also be predisposed to it. It must be
understood that the process of fattening
an animal in a few weeks destroys the
equilibrium of the system, aud in one
sense the fatness is in itself disease. The
storing up of fat in the animal economy
is always at the expense of muscular de
velopment. The muscles become weak
and flabby. All the blood vessels of the
system are surrounded by a strong,
tough, muscular coat, that.in a state of
perfect health will resist any force that
the heart’s action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process weak
ens those fibers; a sudden or unusual
strain ruptures one in the brain, and we
call it apoplexy. It is not as common
in the hog as one would expect, but oc
curs so ofteu that the breeder should
understand It and know the right thing
to do. It is impossible to foresee when
this is going to occur. If the rupture is
a very small one, when the blood is
oozing out in tiny drops, the hog will
sometimes be found lying insensible and
breathing heavily. No effort will arouse
it. It is more usual to find a big, fat
hog lying dead, with no external marks
or signs of the cause of death. Cut
open the skull carefully, and a clot of
blood of greater or less extent will be
found insid *. If alive, however, tie a
stout cord above the knee, and with a
stick take a twist in the cord, until on
the inner side of the leg below the knee
the brachial brain can be felt. Open ’t
with a sharp-pointed knife, and if the
blood will run take a pint and a half or
a quart. Don’t guess at it. An ounce
of blood spread over the ground or on
the floor has been mistaken for a pint.
If the bleeding is to do any good there
must be considerable taken. If the
broken vein is a small one, and the case
is observed soon after it occurred, the
animal may be saved. If it partially
revives it will be proper to evacuate the
bowels. A large stock syringe would be
valuable here to throw up a quart of
warm water. In most cases, however,
the owner will have a chance to sell the
animal for soap fat. —New York Herald.
Care of Cattle.;
There is no economy in keeping cattle
in the pasture now; aven where there is
considerable grass it has been frostbit
ten, and has lost its nutritive power. It
may “help to fill up,” as the farmer said
who mixed sawdust with his meal for
his fattening hogs, but it does not assist
much in making either flesh or milk.
In the mowing fields there is not likely
to be any more grass now than will be
needed to keep the roots from winter
killing, and all that is fed off this month
if likely to come out oi next year’s hay
crop. Fodder corn, millet and green
oats are so easily grown that a farmer
has no excuse for be ng short of forage
to winter his stock, if they are put in
the barn as soon as cold weather begins.
A little exercise each day in a yard where
the sun can shine and the wind cannot
blow upon them may be beneficial to
them, but they are better off*anTi can be
kept much cheaper under covfer than
they can when exposed to cold winds
and storms. This is as true of young
animals as of milch cows.
Crowd all the grain for the fattening
stock that they can be made'to eat, and
keep a close watch to see whether they
aae gaining fiesh fast enough,to pay. for
it or not. Many farmers kill their fat
cattle and swine just when they are
making the greatest number of pounds
of meat for the bushel of grain, partly
because the gam does not show as
plainly after the animal is pretty well
fattened, and partly because the atnount
of grain eaten grows larger as the animal
inc reases and the caoler weather comes
ou. If such farmers could have scales
upon which they could weigh their ani
mals each week, they could easily ascer
tain whether the pounds gained *were
more than paying for the grai\ 'or not.
Of course other considenuihns may
make early slaughtering desirffite,. such
as the prospect of the meat benjglower
in price later in the season, when stock
is brought forward from the West, or if
the meat is for home use, a dislike to
have it too fat. And a low price for
tallow may make a very fat beeve
sell comparatively lower than one mod
erately fat. Of these things the farmer
can judge for himself, but he must also
remember that a poorly fattened ox will
shrink forty-five to fifty per cent, from
the live weight, and a very fat one
thirty-five per cent, or less, so that every
pound of gain made now is nearly sc
many pounds of merchantable beef.
There are not many more pounds of offal
in a hog that weighs 406 pounds when
very fat than there was in the same ani
mal when he weighed UUO pounds.—

Every farmer should keep a few sheep,
not for the wool alone, but for good
mutton.
While many approve, are those
who, after a trial, are to the
practice of dehorning cattle.
Much good feed is wasted because ol
improper feeding; with a proper food
ration, there is practically no loss.
The prices of bran anc]®l-meal areAuc

Swiss cattle, imported into this coun
try and scattered in small herds here and
there, are said to be giving satisfaction
as hardy, serviceable animals.
The general sentiment, as expressed
by lowa breeders, is that the steer should
be made to weigh 1400 to 150 > pounds
at twenty-four to thirty months old.
The sheep is said to be the animal o
the gofdeu-lioff. It destroys weeds and
enriches the land, and also feeds and
clothes its owner. It is the all-purpose
animal of the farm.
If you want to really improve youi
stock, don’t flit,like a bird,from breed to
breed; decide on the breed you like best,
and the one best adapted to the object
you fiave in view, and stick to it.
Bear in mind that a leaky canopy-top
stable with self-ventilating side walls is
a good incubator of colds, coughs, pneu
monia and all sorts of disease, and that
filth furnishes a suitable medium for the
culture of disease.
Apple shippers should use clean, new
uniform standard packages every time.
Undersized barrels work against the
giower. The man who ships well
packed apples is the man who will make
money in the long run.
Dry days until spring, when rubbish
and dry grass in fence-corners, along
hedge-rows, in orchards and elsewhere,
will burn close to the ground, are good
days in which to fight chinch bugs. Let
there be purifying by lire.
A wire fence is the costliest wind
break one can provide for stock, and the
profit expected from the feed from the
hay loft and the bin may be blown away
through loose unbattened walls and
cheerless, wind-swept yards.
If you are a bee-keeper and any one
proposes to have a pickle factory near
vou, encourage them all you can, for be
side the profit from the cucumbers, the
nectar which they furnish will enable
the bees to gather a good harvest.
Old wells in the fields should never be
boarded over; fill them up. They often
cause injury to stock when boarded, as
the boards rot and unexpectedly fall in.
A large number of animals are annually
lost by old wells or sinks in the fields.
Some farmers have, in past seasons, se
cured hundreds of dollars from bees, and
yet carried on their legular business
with no special difficulty. In several
cases, and for several successive years,
the proceeds of the apiary have exceeded
those of a good farm.
As kerosene has been found excellent
when used in soap suds for washing,
care should be taken not to apply soap
