HHHHHnHHHHHBHnHHIMnMHMHMHiM for Infants and Children. Find Profit In n Weed That Most Farmer Ucem it Nuisance. Persons who travel down tho Brook lyn boulovord In tho direction of Conoy Island of an aftornoon will usually liavo their attention attracted by par ties of Italians men, women, boys and girls loaded down with hugo bundles. Some of them aro puzzled by tho sight. Thcro aro certainly no treasures in tho way of rags, clioico garbage and tho like to attract such an army of expert scavengers. What, then, Is it that those big bundles aro tnndo up off This was tho question that suggested itself to a man tho other day, and ho proceeded to Investigate forthwith. Ho found a now reason to wonder at tho scorning intuition that loads an Ital ian In this country to earn his bread in . ways and through means that our other adopted citizons nover think of. Now bo it known that down on tho flat, low meadows that go to mako up tho town of Platbush and on down to Qravosond tho dandelion grows in such profusion that it is alleged to bo a nuisance. Tho fanners down thoro go out in tho morn ing and sow seed, nnd in tho afternoon tho energetic dandelion comes up and scatters tho seed and reigns In its stead. Ordinary plants have no show against tho vigorous, prolific weed. Therefore thoy hato it and wage war against it and seo nothing but evil In its open yel low faco. Ono day a party of Italians, or it may havo been only ono, for that mat ter, was exploring this region of dando lions, and saw much in it to admire. The sequel has proved that ho' saw money in it. From that day Italians all tho way from Mulberry bend might bo seen far down on tho Coney Island road every morning before sunrlso ea gerly plucking dandelions. The farmer saw it and chuckled. In tho warm spring afternoons when ho saw Italian? of all ages and both sexes staggering up the dusty road under great bags loaded with tho weeds ho hated, actually car rying them away from his farm at their own expenso, ho more than chuckled. Ho laughed. Now, that farmer was hot wlso in his day. Ho know that tho leaves of tho uiiuuuuuu piunt wuen young aro gooq to cook with pork or corned beef, and then to eat Tho Italians who in theso days aro gathering theso weeds by the cart load probably knew this, too. But thoy know more. They know that dur ing tho dandelion season, which extends from April until August or thereabouts, there aro men in Now York city who will pay good money for thoso samo weeds; that theso weeds aro afterward turned into patent medicines, into food for silk worms and put to othor uses, while Its root is used in some .cases as a substitute for coffea-a bad substitute, perhaps, but ono that is used never theless. And so it is that an army of Italians forsako New York every day and dolro in tho Holds outsido Brooklyn, whilo tho Long Island farmer marvels. But when you como to consider tho wholo matter thero is not so much to marvel at unless it bo tho mental density of tho fanner and tho marvelous faculty of tho Italian for discovering new and profitable forms of labor.

Very few newspapers or public splrlted citizens question the value of military training and the bene fits of discipline to America's young meu. The world's fair appropriation was lost because tho bill for tho ap propriation was neither intelligently prepared nor looked after. Our world's fair commissioners were to tally devoid of influence with tho legislature and Beotned Incapable of even placing tho case plainly bofore the legislature AS TO TUIIID PAHTIES. Ht, Louis Ropublio (Dein.) In considering tho attitude of tho farmers' ullianco in politics, It must not be forgotten that the Cincinnati convention which launched "tho people's party" was In no sense a farmers' ullianco convention. It was held, not under tho auspices of the ullianco bit with a direct view of anticipating and forcing its no tion. Thero wero present as dole gates men who woro also members of the ullianco, but the ullianco did not send them, nor did their notion bind it in any way. Under the constitution of tho uill auce, Its members nro left free to follow their convictions In politics, no provision Is made for forclug them Into tho rcpublloan party, iuto tho democratio party or into a third party. Thoy are not bound to voto any ticket uuder dictation, nor have they beeu required to surrender any of the liberties of Americnu cltlzeus. Tho member of tho alllnuco Is as free as any othpr citizen.

Thoy claim that many years ago tho locality was a part of an Indian reservation A man of the name of Helknup frequently dreamed that there was a crock in tho Indian comotory containing liumenso treasures, and that if ho was there at the hour when graveyards yawnod ho could secure it.

London, Aug. 0. -Further particu lars havo come to light concerning tho Interview between Queen Marie, of tho Belgians, and ex-Empress Carlotta, on Monday, which pro duced nearly a fatal effect on Queen Murlo. It appears that u week ago Mondav was tho thirty-fourth atlUN versary of Carlotta's murrlugo to Maxlmilllan, and It has been custo mary for King Leopold and tho queen to visit tho uu happy princess ou that duy, or send her somo token to allevlato tho grief which always overwhelms her about that time. Tho king ami queou had by some oversight omitted tho usual tribute of regard, and Quoon Mario on Mon day concluded to pay Carlotta & visit. At tho time of tho queen's arrival, Carlotta was tranquil, aud the physicians consented to an in terview, but upou teeing tho queen tho ox-empress got terribly excited. She seemed to huvo a confused recol lection of the tact that to Queen Marie had been entrusted the pad task of Informing her of her hus band's fate, aud she seemed to have conceived in her unsettled mind the idea that tho queen hud sumothlug todo with his death. Sho broko out Into awful aud appalling re proaches that nearly stunned the queen, and exclaiming, "Give mo buck my husband," mado a rush ut her with outstretched arms. Au attendant rushed in aa provouted Carlotta from dolug violence to the quoou, who was already In a faint lug couditlou. Murlo was carried out, and Ctrlottu was put under the restraint that is usual when ehe exhibits vlolenco. Queen Murlo was for some timo In a perilous condition, but tho improvement nl'iUdy noted continues, Tho ox-om press had for some time past been in such steady meluuoholy that hor attendants had uo apprehension of another oxoltable demonstration aud wero greatly surprised at this ono, otherwise thoy would have put more safeguards around tho iutervlow. The ex empress, it is suid, devotes much of hor time to painting, aud hai nearly finished a picture of herself und Maximllllan, when lie was a hand some mau of 2.J aud she 17 years old. Tho painting is said, upart from It puthotlo subject, to 1m of luir merit. This last outbreak bus almost educed any hope that sho will over uguln bo restored to reason.
