UTAH YOUTHFUL ROMANCE Of Adolph D'Ennery Eecalled by tha Kame in II U WUL Paris correspondence New York Mall nd Express: The great melodramatic author, D'Ennery, whose many plays have made as many nations ihudder with their dramatic intensity, died some time ago at the age of 90 years. When he was 80 he made his mind that the time had come when i be must put his affaire in order. He j was troubled not with the affairs of the present, but rather with those of the past, and in particular was his mind . tortured by the remembrance of a little ; ictress whom he had loved, not wisely, but too well, sixty years before at the : Ambigu theater. There had been a I little child born of their irregular union, and when fame and fortune I were first smiling upon him he had left ; both, and indeed forgotten them; b'!t j after sixty years of successes D'En-j D'En-j nery's mind turned once more to the romance of his youth. He sent for his lawyers, and had a will made, in which be left every sou of his colossal fortune to his sweetheart of other days, now an old woman mu;h respected as Mme. Leroux. When D'Ennery's relations, after his death, found that all his money had been bequeathed to strangers strang-ers they not unnaturally resented It, and now D'Ennery's relations versus those of Mme. Leroux are waging a legal battle in the French law courts that promises to last as long as a chancery chan-cery case in the English courts. An Fxtraordinary Forest. The most extraordinary forest in the world was discovered by Dr. Wel-witsch Wel-witsch and occupies a tableland some six miles in width, between 300 and 400 feet above the sea, near the west coast of Africa. The peculiarity of the trees of this forest is that, though the trunks are as much as four feet in diameter, they attain the height of only on-ly one foot. No t;ee bears more than two leaves, and these attain a length of six and a breadth of two feet. The flowers make gorgeous crimson clusters. clus-ters. Locomotive Knm. During the past few months, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has materially ma-terially extended the runs of the passenger pas-senger locomotives on through trains. Formerly engines were changed on an average every 100 or 150 miles. It was thought that the mountain grades of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would prevent an extension of the runs. However, How-ever, the experiment was made. It has proved successful and reduced the number of locomotives formerly required re-quired by twenty-four, which can be used in other branches of the service and save the purchase of more motive power. Under the new plan, locomotives locomo-tives are double crewed and make from 7,000 to 8,000 miles a month, as against 3500 to 4,000 under the former method. A theism.

From the Genealogical Magazine: The novelists have woven a romance about Gretna Green and its village blacksmith which will last for all time and which for all time wiil supply a denouement to the wares of successive professional story tellers. The sordid facts of Gretna Green marriages and the still more sordid details of the Gretna Green registers are widely different dif-ferent from the picturesque romance which we associate with the days of postboys and the mad racing and chasing chas-ing through Carlisle. The history of Gretna Green and its marriages rests upon the abominable marriage laws of Scotland. We call them abominable, for they are the curse of the Scottish genealogy. The marriage laws in Scotland Scot-land were and are (for they remain unaltered) un-altered) atrociously simple, and therein there-in lay the temptation and attraction of Gretna Green. Probably the novel-reading novel-reading public will be shocked to hear that there is no such definite place as Gretna Green; the name applies t a district comprising some number of villages or hamlets some miles apart. All that was necessary was to get over the border into Scotland and there make the necessary contract before witnesses. The blacksmith's shop on the high road north from Carlisle was the most easily accessible and was . ' '" the best known, but there were scaic houses just over the border which kept witnesses at hand and retained re-tained a register of the contracts entered en-tered into. The registers were a secondary sec-ondary matter and the fees demanded were frequently large and, where secrecy se-crecy was an object, extortionate. Those Gretna Green marriages still occasionally oc-casionally take place, though now only between residents in the neighborhood, but as similar ceremonies take place all over Scotland there is nothing especially espe-cially distinctive about the contracts made at these Gretna Green marrying-shops. marrying-shops. But unless an actual and proper ceremony takes place we believe these Scottish marriages are not valid upon persons where both are of English Eng-lish domicile, though to those intending intend-ing to elope we can offer the consolation consola-tion of the fact that the preliminary residence and advertisement necessary in England are not compulsory in Scotland, Scot-land, and a marriage in a Scottish church is binding. So a couple of return re-turn tickets to Scotland may still carry matrimonial advantages. The British law attaches great weight to domicile and, provided domicile be established, a marriage legal under the laws of the place of domicile is held to be valid in England. Wilt Excitement on a Carette. People who imagine that the carette is a sedate and quiet vehicle, fit only for old women and elderly men who wish to avoid excitement, are cherishing cherish-ing a delusion. As a typical carette experience a trip from the river to Madison street, recently, may be cited. Directly in front of Central Cen-tral Music hall the carette, whicti was on the wrong side of the street, collided with a heavy truck loaded with coops containing live chickens. The truck driver expostulated with the carette car-ette driver, and ordered him to take the other side of the street at once. The latter declined. Hot words followed, aiveL a moment later a challenge to a duel was given and accepted. Both men drew their whips and stood up on their seats. The lashes flew, and the horses, thinking the blows Intended for them, started up and pulled the vehicles ve-hicles apart. The carette turned out so quickly that a beer wagon almost took its wheel off. A moment later, while the passengers were recovering from the excitement, a cable train swept round the corner of Madison street and was stopped within three inches of the venerable equines attached at-tached to the carette, while the passengers passen-gers scrambled out in confusion and alarm. Chicago Inter Ocean. How to Ride Medically. A London physician has been Ingenious Ingen-ious enough to announce himself as a "consulting cyclist," and he will tell (for a comfortable fee), whether to ride or not; and how fast, how slow, how far, how late, how early and how every-thing-else to ride. He will rlso dictate the kind of gears, hanule bars, etc., etc. He will be a boon to physician-consulting people of bicyclist tendencies. ten-dencies. MACHINERY. wish to buy certain volumes. He has received hundreds of letters from clergymen from all parts of the country, coun-try, congratulating him on the stand he has taken in the matter. One professor pro-fessor of an Ohio college wrote him to postpone the burning of his books for Just one month and reflect on the matter. mat-ter. Mr. Waggoner has been busily engaged recently in answering these letters. The men who have written writ-ten him kind words he thanks, and those who have essayed to oritlcise ha endeavor to show the error of their harsh words. Several agnostics have visited the city and called upon him. Long interviews have been the result, and the men who came to denounce him have gone away in a thoughtful mood. Origin of the Martnoa. Tha real origin of the Spanish Merl-ais Merl-ais is lost In tha dim past. For mor than 2.000 years the Spanish shepherds have been raising this kind of sheep, and without doubt have, in the lapse of centuries, greatly modified them, as tne imaginary standard of each century cen-tury might seem to demand. Certalm It is that the Spanish succeeded in producing pro-ducing a fine type of wool-producing sheep. So much was this the case that the fame of these sheep spread all over the world and led other nations to desire to introduce them into their own pastures. About 1765 about 300 of these sheep were introduced into Saxony. Sax-ony. There, under royal protection, they were cared for and developed along the lines of fine-wooled sheep. Since that time these Saxon Merinos have undergone considerable change, so much so that now they produce a fleece finer than did the original importations, im-portations, and the sheep themselves have been rendered too tender to da well in the colder portions of the United States. In 1786 about 300 Merinos Meri-nos were imported into France from Spain. There, too, they received royal protection and good care, and their original characteristics were soon changed. They are the originals of what are now called the French Merinos. Meri-nos. The importation of Spanish Merinos into the United States began in the early part of the present century. During the first twelve years more than 20,000 of them were brought into this country and distributed mostly throughout the New England states, but also to some extent among the more southerly seaboard states. Concerning Con-cerning them F. D. Coburn says: "A large proportion of the Merino flocks of the United States, descendants descend-ants from the importations from Spain, were subsequently inbred with the Saxon and French varieties, until many of the characteristics of these were engrafted upon the American flocks. Through the exceptions to this rule, however, a sufficient number of flocks have been found tracing with reasonable proof of purity direct to their Spanish ancestry to warrant the claim that the present highest type of American Merino is the direct descendant, de-scendant, without admixture of other blood, of animals included in some of the several importations from Spain before the year 1812. The French Merinos have perhaps a larger carcass than the average American, and the French breeders were the first to produce pro-duce a Merino combing wool. The Saxon Merinos have been but sparingly introduced into this country, the course of breeding in Saxony (fineness (fine-ness of fleece being the one object sought) having rendered them too tender ten-der for our methods of sheep husbandry." hus-bandry." Preserving Eggs. Prof. Ladd, of North Dakota College of Agriculture, in bulletin No. 35, gives the following directions for the use of water glass in keeping eggs. Water glass Is silicate of soda or silicate of potash, the former being cheaper. It is not expensive. If wooden kegs or barrels are to be used in which to pack the eggs, they should first be thoroughly scalded with boiling water to sweeten and purify them. To each ten quarts of water, which should first be boiled and then cooled, add one quart of water glass. Pack the eggs in the vessel and pour solution solu-tion over them, covering well. - Keep the eggs in a cool, dark place. A dry, cool cellar is a good place. If the eggs are kept In too warm a place the silicate is deposited and the eggs are not properly protected. Do not wash the eggs before packing, for by so doing you injure their keeping quality. For packing use only perfectly fresh eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved and may prove harmful to others. All packed eggs contain a little gas, and In boiling such eggs they will crack. This may be prevented by making a pin hole in the blunt end of the egg. To do this hold the egg In the hand, place the point of a pin against the shell of the egg at the blunt end, and give the pin a quick, sharp blow, just enough to drive the pin through the shell without further in- Jury to the egg. The Old Sitter. In the meantime the good wife had procured a few old biddies from a neighbor and set them in old barrels. We passed by them several times each day for all the long twenty-one days. We never looked about the temperature, the moisture or the ventilation. The old biddies didn't, either. They just set there and slept. The stupid things How do they know what the temperature tempera-ture is? One of them is blind in one eye and has her tail feather pulled out. Four of them had sixty eggs. When they began to "pip" the oiu o.d- dies woke up and said, "Chirr, chirr, with an occasional cluck. Fiftyrseven chicks crawled out of those sixty eggs. The old blind hen hatched every egg and has not "crowed" about it, either. She did it with her little "hatcmt," Ex. Cows' Condition. As we have before be-fore averred, the weakest spot in our dairy practice is the wintering of the milkers, the condition of poverty they are allowed to run down to when dry. A milking cow should be poor once a year, not poverty stricken, but robust without flesh, and that period should be at the drying-off point. As soon is a cow it put dry she should again begin to improve her condition and continue it surely to calving, otherwise other-wise she can never do her best. A proper cow will always run herself down the first three or four months of her milking season, and this is a very good index to a cow's merit. Agricultural Agri-cultural Gazette (Tasmania). Dakota Chickens. More chickens than usual have been hatched out the present spring, and we are glad to note the fact. It means lots of tender roosters on the table this fall cheap, healthy meat and if properly cared for, lots of fresh eggs there, too, and many more on the counter in the store. How it does save the pocket book to take in a good crate of eggs every tlni? one runs in after groceries! If you never tried it, fix things so you can take one along and see. Dakota Farmer. Plowing Under Legumes. It is undoubtedly un-doubtedly a fact that more manurial benefit is obtained on the farm in feed ing leguminous crops, such as clover and cow-peas, rather than plowing them under, but the cost of hauling them both ways, to and from the barn, must be considered. When plowed under green they are already evenly "spread" over the land. This does not take into consideration the dairy question ques-tion or stock feeding. That is another story.

"Have you made up your mind in this matter?" inquired one French army official. "Yes that is to say, I have done so to a certain extent." "Ah, that's good!" "Yes, sir.

From the Chicago Post: "I should like some evidence, young man, that your intentions are serious," said the old gentleman. "Evidence!" exclaimed the young man. "Haven't I bought three boxes of candy at 60 cents a pound, two matinee mat-inee tickets and six plates of ice cream in less than two weeks?

If a brother utters a word or performs an act that does not accord with the views of another, immediately his motive mo-tive is called in question. "He is a time-server," cr "He belongs to a ring," or "He is looking out for self." How directly is such a suspicious spirit at variance with that "charity which cov-ereth cov-ereth a multitude of sins." How teiri-bly teiri-bly does the one given to being thus suspicious violate the command, "Judge not." How such a one does compel others to conclude that he himself la exactly the kind of a man he accuses or suspects his brother cf being; "for, with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged." The fact is, the man who cherishes suspicious, harsh, uncharitable uncharita-ble thoughts of others, thereby dwarfs his own soul, narrows his own mind, hardens his own heart, and thus detracts de-tracts from the quality of his own manhood, diminishes his capacity for enjoying this life, and imperils his title to the life that is to come. "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?" God himself is judge and we must all appear before his judgment seat. How shall we stand if we have been unjustly judging our brethren? Religious Te'ecnpe. Silenced Ingersoll. London Mail: A correspondent sends to the Daily Mail the following story of an Incident whiph happened some twenty years ago in Toronto: Colonel Ingersoll, the celebrated infidel infi-del orator, was delivering a lecture in the theater on a Sunday night. The house, of course, was crammed, and he went on with his clever and humorous speech till he gave utterance to some particularly blasphemous comments, which proved too offensive for his audience. au-dience. In the midst of his brilliant speech a fine voice in the gallery rang out in the well-known hymn, "Hold the Fort, for I Am Coming." Instantly the words were taken up by others until un-til the whole concourse joined in, and Colonel Ingersoll had to retreat ig-nominlously, ig-nominlously, without being allowed to uttor another wnrd. A Dog's Sacrifice. Port Jervis Special Philadelphia Times: Mrs. Arthur Beagle, accompanied accom-panied by a 10-year-old child, went on a berrying trip near Rood's Creek. The child was accompanied by her dog, a water spaniel. Immediately on arriving ar-riving in the lot the dog began acting queerly and would brush against its little mistress as if to warn her not to proceed further. As the child kept on the dog lay down in the path in front of her, and then it was discovered that the faithful brute was on tope of a rattlesnake, which bit the animal in several places. Mrs. Beagle killed the reptile with a stone. The dog died an hour afterward. An Automatic Train-Stopper. Among recent inventions is a device by which the air-brakes of a railroad train can be applied from the track, as the train passes, without the intervention inter-vention of the engineer. The air brake system Is conceded with a levev controlling a vent in the train pipe, and attached to the truck of the pony wheels close to the track at the for- j ward end of the locomotive. On pass ing over an obstruction, placed on the track for the purpose, the lever is tilted and the vent opened, thus letting the air in to the brakes. The engineer can reset the lever from his place in the cab. An Excellent Combination.
