tioin wrangled over three hours on
- several small amendments of several
sections of the legislative articles rela
tintg to the abolishing of sp)ecial legis
lation for t he incorp)orationt of cities,
a section p)rovi tmg that the Legisla
ture 4ihould, in che year 1898, submit
to the people the question of holding
a constitutional convention and like
wvise everv twentieth year thereafter,
allowxing a majority vote to call the
convention. It was voted down by a
vote of e~. to 17. Before the rececss,
the co.nvention adopted a section p ro
hibiting the inter-marriage of a white
person having any negro blood what
ever. The matter wai re-opened and
Jug razer offered to further amend
by adding the words ''to maintain the
status of many families in this State
tainted with negr" blood." Some
strong speeches we::e made and finally
the sectioni with the amendment was
recommnitted to the committee. George
D. Tillmnan made a powerful speech
maintaining that instead of the p)hras~e
"any negro blood" the words "one
eighth uegro blood" should be used(.

ROAD TO HAVE A SINGLE RAIL;I
Novel Project for a Line on the Canadian
Border.
William E. Seetley, a reidznt of Brainerd,
Minn..but now in the Painy Lake gold cour:
try. has in proc^ss of completion a projel
to build a railroad from Tower is Rainy
L-Vke City. on the Canalian border. ovar a
route 1'hich an or;llnary railroad could
sear elv be ran. But the ro& planned by
'Mr. Seeley will not be anu orlinary one in
any s-nse oj the word, and his plans and
sreoiications are a1readv attracting consid
erable attention from railroad men and ma
chini st. oener -liv.
The track of Mr. Seeley's road will rvnsist
of a sincle rail instead of two, and the pa
pers of the Wc;t are alrealy referrin- to
it as the on-olege : road. The areat advan
taie clairnpd for this road is its cheay)ness, it
costinz Jess than one-half as much as a re,
ular double track, standard gauce road to
constrar-t and operate. A row of piling is
driven. and the sincle rail is laid on too of
thiA pilinz, seven or eight feet from the
aroin i. The ears are to be constructed'so
that th, 1loor is about fIve feet below the
i-eel i the rail, and each side of the Cars
wili 10 loadcd as nearly equally as nossibly,
so that the veh!cle will ride easily and
smoovtHv.
Tha the cars cannot be unset will be sesn
at a a ance, as the wight In the'a will be
br.ow i ie rail. The piles are to be set ten
or twel A fet anart, and will be eanpe-l vith
hresvy w ,o1n hPans. upon whIch the sinzle
rail will .-st. It is claimed by Mr. Seel-y
that such - road has already been operate-d
succesefull.: d that he has demonstrated
bv modeis that -he plan will be a success in
this oase. One of the rent needs of the
northern rart of MinneqotaIs arailroa i from
Tower to Rainy Lake City, and the rEsidents
of those places are more than enthu;aiastic
over the proposed line.

GREATEST MAB LIVIN.
Unique Daily LAre of tbe Tnfant HeIr
to Great Britain's Throne.
T.e greatest baby in the world is
now about one year old. The name
of this baby is Edward. He is Hi.i
Royal Highness the Princ, Edward of
York, heir to the tbrone of an empire
on wbich the sun never sets, and he is
now cutting his teeth.
His Royal HighiLess lives either at
York House, St. James, London, or at
White Lodge, seat of the Tecks. A
description of his personal appearance
is now on file in the royal archives of
the Tower of London, and he has been
photographed 109 times. These de
tails are not trifles. They are a part
of the history of the British Empire.
The Prince has blue eyes. His hair
is not scanty by any meanf, and. he is
ratber fat, as will be seen from the ac
companyin,; picture of hin, which is
the one hundred and ninth of Eis
Royal Highness, and the very latest.
He has a nursery of the most severely
plain character, and, althonh his
little life is one long uninterrupted
ceremony, etiquet,e requires that the
plainest of baby accessories shall sur
round him. He is under the ttelago
of one Mine. Buika, whom allEngland
knows as the confidential companion
of the Princess May before her mar
r:age. This Mle. Buika has natur4lly
an enormous responsibility,
His Royal Highness is already a
General, a Colonel, a High Sneriff and
a patron. He is a Keeper of the Seals
and an Imperial Usher. He is already
entitled to put L. C. M. J., C. I. S.
I. and ever so many other letters after
his name, and he is a memoer of the
House of Lords.'
When the baby awakes in the morn
ing he holds a levee. Tne royal code
says so. His aiganess will be attend
ed by the lady in waiting, who takes
his comnands. This means that she
will wash and dress him. H e must
never have anything u him that is
red-anything, that is, in the shape of
clothing. His attire inusi be invaria
bly white. This is btoause he is a
Prince of York, and thc-r3 is a royal
rule connected wit!h the Wars of the
Roses that forbids his assumption of
tne red until he is five years old. He
may not wear black shoes until he is
three, and in public a sash must in
variably be around his waist. Under
no circumstances ishe to be addressed,
even playfully, by anyone except his
par-ents. Qaeen Victor.a herself is not
at liberty to say "yon" to him. It
must always be "His Highness seems
well," or "His Highness sleeps." In
fact, it is His Highness this and His
Hi!zhness that all the time.. -
Only a blood relative may hold him
in ber arms, with the exceptioa of
Mile. Bnika, who has received a royal
patent 'or the purpose. Even the
pbysician who attends him must re
ceive a royal patent before beginnin;
to physic this babe. Every article of.
attire he wears must bear the royal
arms worked by hand in silk, and te
may not wear the same article twice
in succession. It mut be washed be
fore it goes on again.

AGRICULTrAL PLANTS.
Some ants keep slaves, we are told,
and others keep cows, or substitute
for cows. Others still make a busi
nes,of raising mushrooms. These last
are the leaf-cutting ants, so-called.
They live in tropical America, and are
very destructive. They have been
known to ruin whole plantations of
orange and lemon trees.
They cut circular pieces out of the
leaves and carry them off to their
monnds. - What they do with them
wns log a question. but Miller, who
studied these ante in Brazil, and Belt.
who studied them in Nicaragua, havs
ascertained that the leaves are not
used for fvod, but as manure on.which
to grow a minuti species of fungus.
in other word;, these leaf-cutting ant
cuitivate mushrooms.
They are described as taking the ut
most pains to keep the mounds neither
too dry ror too damp. Sometimes
the inexperiececd bring in grass and
unsuitable leaves, but these are in- -
variably carried out and throw away.
When th chami>ers get filled with
leaves that have ben. exhaus.e. as
:.-tilizers, new chambers are built and
fresh leaves are gathered.
COWS WlTH AN EAR FOR MUSIC.
An Elulish writer has publishe
somec curious observations on the effects
of Inusical sounds ou amimals. A few
of those relatia-g t0) oveU and cows
will boof interest.
"Opposite to our house was a large
fleld in which twelve cows were put
during the summer months. One day
a Germau b ind began to play on the
road which divided the house from
the field.
''The cows were quietly grazing at
the other end1 of the field, but no
sooner did they hear the music -than
they at once advanced toward it and
stood with their heads over the wai
attentively listening.
"This might have passed uunoticed.
but, upon the musicians going away,
the animals followed themi as well as
they could on the other side of the
wall, and, when they could get no fur
ther, stood lowing piteously.
So excited did the cows become
that some of them ran round the fieldi
to try and get out; but tinding no
outlet, returned to the same corner
where they had lost sight of the band,
and it was some time before they
seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds
were really gone.
"I have often noticed the power
music has over oxen. The other dlay
we had a brass band playing in our
garden. In a field adjoinging were
four uxenl.
"When the baud struck iin th1er
were at the far end of a nine-acre
teld, quite out of sight, the field
being very uneven. They set of full
trot to the garden wall, put th'eir
necks over and remained so till the
tuHe was finished, when they went
back to graze ; but, as soon as the
music struck up again they came and
put their heads once more over the
wall This went ou ti the band left,
after which they ate little all day and
were continually lowing.
"There are many anecdotes that s1mo w
that the ox or cow has a musical ear.
The carts in C'orunna, in Spain, make
so loud and disagreeable a creaking
noise with their wheels. for the want
of ol, that the governor onc2 issued
