Immaterarl to sUm Wo Was au ze eatd. Many stories are told of the shah of Perls in connection with his last visit to England. One of these tales, prob ably more amusing than true, is that he advised the Prince of Wales quietly to make away with a certain extremely Influential duke, as the latter was growing too powerful to be safe. But a story which is vouched for is the ac cnuat of the shah's visit to Newgate prison. While there be suddenly re quested to see an execution. He was eaurteensly informed that at the pree ent moment there was no one under gentence. The shah swept away these trf(ina objections with a wave of his hand. '"ake one of my suite," said he. "Any one will do." And he was woefall r disappointed because the ofm cials on the spot declined to comply ,With his request. The shah had a mag naloent collection of Jewels, among them belng an emerald nearly as large as a hen's egg. The present shah will make a continental tour this summer, visiting England in July. It is said that he is bringing with him a num ber of costly and beautiful gifts for his royal and imperial hosts in all the places he intends to visit. His tour will take six months. He intends to stop in Russia, Germany, Austria France, Greece and England. Spewashb Pverb, Proverbs uncomplimentary to the fair sex are common in Spain: "A woman like a pavement should be well trampled on to keep in order." "A weman is like a candle; twist her neck If you wish her to be good." "Beware of a b4d woman, and do not trust a good one." "Crying in a woman sad limaping in a dog, is all a sham." "A cock crows on his own dunghibll, but hems cackle everywhere." (This in reference to the supposed garrulous se and inquisitive disposition of the sex). "Show me a magple without a spot, and I will show you a woman without a fault" In English, counter parts are not wanting-for example: A woman, a dog and a walnut tree The more you beat them the better they be. Mothers-in-law and step mothers come in for a good deal of sarcasm; some of the proverbs in re gard to them will not stand transla tion. Of a man who is accounted lucky they say: "If he fell from the root of a house he would tall on the top of his mother-in-law."-Chambeii' Journal.

On each side of the waterway provided for nav igation is placed a main supporting pier. These piers are each forty-eight feet wide. They rest on bed rock, forty-four feet below city datum. The A School of Farming It Will Rial to Raise the Starldard of Agricultural Methcc . - IIEN the promoters of the School of Practical Agri culture and Horticulture looked about for a spot whereild to establish the institution various places were suggested, but it was finally agreed that Briarcliff Man or, one of the most beautiful parts of Westchester County, N. Y., would be the most suitable. It will be on a pla teau overlooking the sixty-six acres which nave been acquired, and also much of the land and many of the buildings on the Brlarcliff Farms, which will serve not onl; as a beauti ful picture, but as an inspiration for the students. The object of the school is "to train men and women In the methods of hor ticulture. Horticulture, gardening, poul try raising and allied branches, that they may become proficient in the man laid from the main line to the farm, and by means of these the shipment of farm products is facilitated. Near the railroad are the neat homes of some of the farm hands, and a short dis tance beyond these, toward the ridge, are several large granaries; further THE MODEL DAIRY. away, on the main road, is the model dairy building. Of the 875 head of cattle on the place, about 400 are regis tered Jerseys. No other breed Is al lowed in the herd. There are several milking stations, and from these the milk is taken to the dairy as soon as the cans are filled. All known safeguards against impurity are employed, and no milker is allowed to milk a cow until he has thoroughly agement of farms, estates, greenhouses and gardens, and may be able by thor ough knowledge of the science of the soil to make the field, through intelll gent and skilful work, bring forth abundantly of its great wealth of beauty and usefulness." The school will aim to raise the standard of agricultural methods. ;ractical instruction will be given in the orchard, garden, greenhouse, poul try yard and dairy, and students will be taught "how to overcome and not be overcome by the many difficulties beauty and usefulness." Briarclife Farms occupy a tract ex tending nlabut four miles north and south and about three miles east and west.

There is a large butter room on the second floor of the dairy, which is flaisb-d in white enamelled wood, :uarble and glass, and has an inlaid marble floor. The milk is forced into this roo:u frolm below by means of compress:d air, and is converted into bulttr, wh~kh is :naced in a large glass mnd :.arble fitted cold storage room.

The spans may be operated either jointly or singly, as desired, by two operators, one on each side of the ca nal. When it is desired to open the bridge the centre pins are unlocked by the animals' food is minimized by the arrangement. The offices of the farms are only a short distance from the barn, and in an opposite direction, on one of the broad roads which traverse the estate, is the pretty boarding house which has i I I Ifl, __ \ OM..

On the ground floor of this building are a reception room, a large apartment in which the men meet after work hours 'o read, play games or lounge; a dining room and a well appointed kitchen. There are about 4W) breeding pigs on the place, including fine specimens of Berkshires, Yorkshires and Chester Whites. The poultry department has a large incubator building, with a capacity of 4500 eggs, and a perfectly equipped brooder house. There are about 5000 chickens on the place, and the house where the little ones are kept, which now contains about 1000 pretty chicks, is one of the rights of the place. In speaking of the objects of the school which will be established near this model farm, George T. Powell, the director, said: "Its purpose is to give a thorough training in the art of ag:iculture in all of its details. It is proposed' to pro duce the finest quality in fruits, vege tables and flowers, and, in addition to the production c! a high quality, also to give special instruction in the es sential part, that of marketing them.

SURVEYING BY MACHINE. The Orograpb, Which Has Been Adopted by the Army. Mention was made soma time ago of the "Orograph," a new instrument which has been adopted in the United States Army, and 's intended to take the place of the engineers' chain and level in the important work of making a profile of any road or stretch of country over which a surveying or rec onnoitering party is passing.

The movable spans are counter weighted so as to be at rest at an angle of about forty de grees. This greatly facilitates the opening of the spans, and also aids in closing them. The bridge is to be opened or closed in thirty seconds, by means of four forty-horse-power elec tric motors on each side of the channel. The electric motors are controlled by a controller in an operator's house. "Orograph" must be held upright and not allowed to careen to either side. As stated, the object of the machine is to draw upon paper an accurate pro file of the ground over which it is rolled, thus furnishing the army engi neers with all the results of a survey excepting the onurses and general topo graphy The principles upon which the machine is constructed are those of the perambulator. operating in con junction with a lever maintained con tinually in a horizontal position by floating upon a cistern of mercury. This lever is twenty-four inches in length and one-half of an inch thick. with floats attached to each end, and has free motion in a vertical plane on a horizontal axis. LIKE A CORN POPPER. Automatice Collection Basket Is the New est Thing For Church Use. An automatic collection basket is one of the newest things for church use, and. a trial was made of its merits upon a fashionable congregation at New York on a recent Sunday. Ac AUTOMATIO COLLECTION DASKET. cording to the New York Evening Journal the device is remindful of a corn popper. In fact, it might well be called a "coin popper. It has a long handle, hollowed, a wire box or pocket, with a trap-door arrangement, marked "AA." which opens when the collector pulls on the ring marked "E," which connects with the cord marked "CC," which runs in the hollow of a handle, and sets again when he loosens the cord. "DD" shows the depth of the shallow tray at the top of the basket. The contribution when taken up, ac cording to the inventor of the popper, remains on the trap ooor until the col leetor has a change to inspect it before it is dropped into the basket.

A big war has results of this kind. The wars with Napoleon gave us "Wel lingtons," "Bluchers," and probably, the long military, cloak. The Russian war supplied us with a new name for girls, "Alma," broke down the military monopoly of a fringed upper lip, and made the long familiar sight of his polished mahogany obsolete for the Englishman who reached the stage of his dinner when dessert is laid and the wine goes round. That war made mustaches common and "coasters" a curiosity. The great Franco-Prussian eampaign had comparatively little so cial influence on us-probably because we were hot actual belligerents. We learned to take interest in maneuvers, a word which soon superseded the old "sham fights." As yet the present war has influenced more our language than our ctustoms. Trekking, outspanning, veldt, laager are slipping into use. Khaki has become a familiar color, and "colonial" uniform familiar in our streets.
