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.

Kansas boasts of having the largest two military reservations in the United States-—Forts Leavenworth and Riley. The cultivation of the pomegranate is increasing in California. The Alexicans consider it a valuable medicinal plant. A Washington paper says that not a dollar of conscience money has been re ceived at the United States Treasury fot two years. The birch rod used by the first teachei in a Vermont school-house over 10c years ago is said to be nailed over the present teacher’s desk. One of the greatest innovations in the English House of Parliament is the intro duction of a bootblack in the Commons cloak-room. He is the first of his kind. There is a big floating hotel at Jupiter, Fla., and its accommodations are to ie considerably enlarged in expectation of an increase of Northern guests this winter. A dog is employed to guard the mail bags at the postoffice in Allentown, Penn. He lies on the bags until they me taken care of, and allows no one to meddle with them. Malcolm. McMillan, of Cataione, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, a native of Lock maddy North-Ulst, Scotland, is now 101 years of age, and all his sense- are us good as when he was in his teens. A new dye tried in a Maine dychouse so softened the skin of the workmen s hands that the blood burst through. Every employe was affected and the establishment, in consequence, had to close down. A farmer near Athens, Ga., began farming, having one horse, and that a mare. When she was twenty-eight years old she still worked, but was then issisted by her five colts that hail grown to horsehood. Valentine A. Abernathy, ninety-two years old, walked filteen miles to the polls to vote in the county election at Alpharetta, Ga., and returned on foot. He has twenty-eight children and .OJ grandchildren. The name “Man Bote,” in the laws of the Anglo-Saxons, denoted the compen sation to be paid for killing a man. In King Ina’s laws certain rates are fixed for the expiation of this crime, according to the quality of the person slain. A second specimen of the bald headed chimpanzee has just been added to the collection in the London Zoological Gardens. A fine adult female of the same species, known as “Sally,” has long been one of the great attractions of the place. The comet of 13-18 was larger than any ccmet that has appeared since, though the comet of 1861 spread from the north ern to the southern horizon. The comet of ’SB was 4’,000,000 miles in length; that of 1800, 22,000,000. The comet of 1861 was 24,000,000 miles in length. Nancy F.dgerly, of Wolfeborough, N. H., claims to be one hundred and five years old, and says she should never have attained that age if, on the only occasion when she ever called a physi cian, she had not thrown all hi 3 med icines out of the window instead of tak ing them. A Russian Princess, one of the greatest gamblers at Monte Carlo, appeared at the tables recentlji with a laige rope, with which a murder had been commit ted. around her nock and a bull’s horn under each arm. Notwithstanding these elaborate fetiches, her luck was ex ceedingly bad. 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.— New York Independent. 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. — London Court Journo,'. 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. — Prairie Farmer. 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.— Boston Cultivator. Farm and Garden Notes. Ventilate the churn sufficiently. Rinse all dairy utensils in cold water. Have you got up a good pile of wood. l Feed that, you expect to feed you. Coin alone is a poor food-ration for anj animal. The high cranberry is recommended as an ornamental shrub. Give your hens a variety of food; i change will be found beneficial. Do not feed raw corn meal dough to a sick fowl. Let it be steamed or scalded. 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 high. The great mass njKt feed corn and oats, with hay and st^w. Give your stock a good coat of mt. Give your land a good coat of manure. Give your implements a good coat ol paint. 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 suds to peach trees or sprinkle it on the ground around them.
