TILL- nio TI•IE Forty Acres of Pine Stumps Clear- ed at One Explosion --Elec- trifying Seeds, The crops ,last year in the southern pert of Merits Couty, I'emisylvanfa, were nlaguilleent, while thosu in the C'i mottedtng districts were burnt up by drought, The president of the 11erksltlre! Agrictulturnl Society at- tributed the excellence of the har- vest over this particular• tract of eeent1y to the heavy blasting which hod been In progress all the year through tet the Trappe Rook quar- ries, in. t1)0 centro of the district. These blasts were almost iltvarlably followed by showers of rein over the eurrounding country over a radius of ten to twenty miles in diameter. 33eyoud that area there had been lit- tle 100181ure chu'ieg the summer, p}xp1081008 play ft far lat'ger part in retelling than most people iuregiue There aro now over 1,i3O hill -fight- ing stations in the vine -growing dis- tricts of leueope, principally in North Italy 1101, the South of Prance. At each of these are sever- al hell -mouthed cennous pointed straight up in the ale. When a hailstorm approaches, charges of powder are fired, and the vortex rings which they creat' go whistling upwards front their /nuzzles and BREAK. T11:T Ll'EAVY CI.ODDS. The result is nsealiv that instead of a destructive hailstorm, there 15 merely a fall of rein, and so the ten - dor buil is saved from destrectia>.1, • There is 1 precipitous hillside on the Dtikc of Argyll's estate of 7.'irco which was for years an eye -sore to the late Duke from its barren condi- tion. It was too steep to permit oi' Be being planted by any ordinary /ears. Some twenty years ago the had of a great firearm factory stay- ing with the Detke, suggested that seed might be fired like shot against the hillside. Two small cannons were procured, loaded with tree seeds in tins, and the contents fired against the. precipice, The experi- ment was crowned with complete success, and to -day the once barren hillside le covered with evergreens. For many ;mass past dynamite has been tlseti to get rid of the stumps of cut -clown trees 100111 newly -cleared /and. One ingenious farmer in North Georgia repaid himself for h15 outlay o1 such work by mining forty nerds of large plea :dumps, connecting them by electric wires and then advertising a grand explo- sion for a certain date. `C 1101' • came 'thousandsof. s ,. t s by P special trains. The farmer maclo them pay foe admission to his pro- perty, sold them refreshments, and got a comfortable sue, out of the railway company into the bargain. The sight of several thousands of stumps flying Into the air at the same moment, produced as absolute- ly unique effect, and the farmer not only pod expenses, but macre a k11AN.DSOM13 PROFIT AS 1V1>ILL. In Northern California there etre large ureas of stiff, red soil, very di0LOult to break up. Some years ago it occurred to a farmer named Endes Bateson to try the experiment of breaking sone of this ground with explosives, Dynamite was the agent employed. because dynamite, unlike most other explosives, exerts 115 force dowhnwards. .A number of small ]toles, not more than a foot deep, were drilled at regular inter- vals, sd1all charges of dynamite in - sorted, and fired by electricity. The result far surpassed all expectations, P110 whole surface was crumbled, and the crops of the first year wore about thirty per cent. better 'than those raised on similar land which had been broken up by a heavy gang plough, The expense was very littler great- er than that entailed by the use 01* 1101%0 or steam pole', and the ex- pedient of brealdeg land by (1yna- mite has now been very generally adopted. A1100100 advantage of this method of cultivation is the en- ormous slaughter of harmful insects.' Modern farmers have Adopted many peculiar expedients for ineresing the yield of their fields.

Not infrequently wedding gifts are the outcome of jealousy, epleen, or motive. A well-known author re- ceived 011 his marriage from a rlval mann of letters a scrap -book contain- ing n. collection of all the adverse criticisms his works had ever re - velvet!, while a popular artist was 011 a stellar occasion presented with a set of elementary works uponself- instruction in drawing and painting. Unusually vexatious was the gilt received from his neighbors by an Warm octogenarian who had wedded a pleasure -loving woman more than fifty years his N11101*. It took the form of a large brass cage, "intend- ed"—so ran the subscribers' note— "to restrain the wayward flights of a giddy young wire who had married a decrepit old fool for, his money." The husband of a' lady, whose great beauty was discounted by her sharp tongue, found among his wedding -presents a scold's bridle o1• branks—a gift front his wife's sisters, with the hope that "if Nate mattes your life as unbearable 08' she has made ones, you will not hesitate to put the accompanying offering to its original 118(7." "1: willingly countenance your mar- riage with my daughter," wrote a physician to his prospective son -in. law, "conditionally on your accept- ing as a wedding-present—her moth - e'. As a wife, she has not been a success; as a mother-in-law, she is at least problematic. At all events, 1 con endure her temper no longer, and as she expresses a wish to live with her daughter I ant sending her along by the next train." In due course the lady arrived, and has liv- ed with the young mere' ever since. SKIN DISEASES, INVARIABLY DUE TO POOR AND WATERY BLOOD.

THE PRANKS OF PRINCES. SHAH OE PERSIA LIKES TO TEASE SIS SUITE1 German Emperor Pulls Off Trous- ers—King of Spain Is a .Great Joker. From a newly published Cerunnn work on Prince Bismarck, it appears that once in his student days the great Ohanoello' had occasion to awaken in the morning certain of his comrades who had sup--cl well overnight. The way he went about it shows the "man of blood and iron" in a curiously hwman.mood. Having knocked at the door in vain, and failed to burst opon the lock, Bismarck wont outside end fired a pistol through the window, bringing the ceiling clown on tho sleepers, When in the course of tics European tour last year t11e Shah of Persia reached Paris, ho found himself suf- fering from a severe toothache, and accordingly gave the command for a dentist to wait on 11118. When the gentleman arrived, however, His Ma- jesty's courage failed him, and he would not allow the dentist oven to look at the tooth. The following day the Shah had the dentist before hint again. His Ma- jesty's toothache was not troubling him this morning, but, asking the dentist to show him his case of in- struments, he examined them with THE 0It'CATI1IST CURIOSITY. Then he suggested that as he was not having his 'tooth extracted, the dentist should illustrate his craft up- on tho members of his suite, many of whom o n h said suffered from bad this every tooth. Upon's o e y Persian in the room, except the toothless Grand Vizier, disappeared, and Isis Majesty, looking round with a sickly smile, motioned the dentist to leave. The Kaiser 0710 morning last Sep- tember at Cuxhaven, before the nav- al manoeuvres began, appeared with his military suite on the deck of the Hohenzollern. He was in high spir- its, joking in the liveliest nuomer With the gentlemen around him. Laughingly proposing a few gymnas- tic exercises,, he forthwith flung out his arms, bent his body, and .vent through other Movements. T110 admirals and officers present— some of them rather Inclined to be portly—wore obliged, whether they lilted it or not, to follow the Em- peror's lead in such unaccustomed ex- ercises. It is said to have been "a piquant 5pectl1ele, which seemed to afford the Emperor infinite amuse - 010111t.'' Elven as a small boy, however, the Kaiser's characteristic restlessness often showed itself. On one occasion while in England, little Prince Wil- liam, as 110 then was, load to sit to 11Tr. W. P. Fifth, the ).0.A., f60 his portrait. Sit still William would not, however, in spite of all efforts to snake hint 'clo so. At last Mr. Frith, to quiet him, gave him a bit of canvas and some paints. That seemed to settle him, and the artist wont on quietly WITH ITIS WORK. Suddenly the prince's governess, who was present, uttered 0. horror- stricken exclamation, and Mr. Frith became aware that the boy had . painted one side of his face in brilli- ant stripes—green, red a11(1 yellow, like a. Red Indian in wan' -paint. Th governess The g n e Hess was afraid thather � charge's Royal mother alight come .1n and see her son in this state, but Mr, Frith said, "Oh, I can easily 'rciuove that!" and taking a 1)10t11 damped in turpentine, begun washing off the paint. A terrine howl Treat the small prince, followed by a vici- ous kick, stopped the proceedings. Apparently, the turpentine had found its way into a scratch on tho boy's face, and Ito refused to sit any more.

A CI•IILDIIEN'S OUTFITTER, for instance, called at York House recontly with a suit of little Prince Edward's to be tried on, and as the lady was waiting in the corridor near 1,110 Royal children's apartments tho door suddenly opened, and Prince Edward came running out, crying, "Oh, do conte in! conte In at once— no one ccs here." She replied, "I think, your Royal highness, that I'd better wait, Per- haps it will not be convenient for me to conte into the nursery just now," "'los, it will," said the child. "There's no 0120 Isere that matters— only grandpspa." "Grandpapa" himself, however, if accounts be true, was as a boy sing- ularly free from bashfulness in the presence of ladies. In this connec- tion, Mrs. Alcott, the American au- thoress, in one of her books written half a century ago, refers to King Edward as "a yellow -haired laddie, very like his mother." Continues hit's, Alcott, in amusing fashion: "Fanny and I waved and nodded to 111111 as Ile passed by, and he openly winked his boyish eye at us," The Icing was evidently "encour- aged," however; for Hr;s. Alcott con- fesses that "Fanny, with her yellow and wild waving curls, looked very rowdy," and conjectures that "the poor little Prince wanted some 11111." Another, and much older Prince than those spoken of, is the Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand, the heir - Apparent to the Austrian Throne. His "pranks," too, it is to be feared, are of a kind it would be hard to imagine a British Prince indulging in, The Archduke recently caused a sensation by tho ' por'tinaoious way he stuck to the prosecution of one Of his former lackeys, whom ho ac- cused of having stolen part of a harness chain valued at (1 cents. The lackey, a youth named Joseph Fej- ver, was acquitted by the judge of the district court in ll neschaw 13o - hernia, in which neighborhood the Archduke resides, highly incensed, the Archduke sum- moned Lire judge before him, aid, re- primanding bine 'aoverely, ordered a now trial. The judge, however, is evidently a man with tho courageof his convictions; for he has only sen- tenced the hackney to one day's im- prisonment, WITII L1:RERTV 01e APPEAL.
