Prussian agents in Paris during the various revolution ary outbreaks are credited with “as sembling” anything Identified with Bonaparte or bls family. One volume, the alleged “Memoirs of Madame Mere,” (the mother of Bonaparte) was specially cherished by the liohen- zoilerns. for old Kaiser Wilhelm caused the chapters to be read to him when too ill to share the soldier drills and army maneuvers. The kaiser’s in terest in the Madame Mere reminis cences was that Laetitia Kamonini. as pictured by herself, was an exact type of the Teuton ‘ lmusfrau.’’ It was a never-ending einbarrassment to the children of Madame Mere that the old lady couldn’t be induced to assume an Imperial state; that she remained to the last the sagacious, economical housewife, upon whom rested the re sponsibility of bringing up a brood of eight. | 1 . : ’ 1 SUGAR GROWN UNDER PAPER New Method Introduced Into the Ha waiian Islands Said to Have Prov ed Highly Successful. A new and very odd method of grow ing sugar cane is proving highly suc cessful in the Hawaiian islands. When the cane is beginning to sprout, yard wide strips of a heavy kind of paper are laid lengthwise over the rows of little plants and held in place with cane-field trash. The paper is strong enough to keep down and smother the starting weeds, hut not to kill the stout and hardy young cane. In five or six weeks the weed seeds beneath the paper have all germinated and been smothered to death, but the cane shoots have either forced their way through or erected themselves suffi ciently to make little I ent-like eleva tions. Laborers then pass along the rows and with long knives make slits in the sheets, permitting the shoots to come through. The liberated shoots at first are blanched while, but quickly turn green and lusty. Weeding there after is almost wholly needless, be cause there are very few weeds. There is an increase of ten tons (about 28 per cent) in the yield of cane per acre, the Baltimore Sun says. Half lhe labor is saved and lhe production of actual su gar per acre is augmented by more than a ton. Tin* paper used I s made out of “bagasse,” which is the residue of the cane after the sugary sap has been squeezed out of It. When Spiders Molt. When a spider is preparing to molt it stops eating for several days and fastens itself by a short line of web Io one of the main linos of its snare, which holds if fiimly while it proceeds to undress. The skin cracks all around the thorax, and is held only by the front edge. Next the abdomen is un covered. Now comes the struggle to free the logs. It works and kicks vig orously. and seems to have very hard work. But continued perseverance of about 15 minutes bring« it out of the old dress; it seems almost lifeh and is limp ami helpless for several min utes, but gradually it comes back Io life ami looks brighter and prettier than before. To young people this is an operation of extreme interest. A little boy watched lhe molting <»l a nearly full-grown pet spider, ami tan to his mother, saying: ‘Mamma, my spider undressed ami hung his dress on a line.” Coat Is Regiment’s Pet.
