EUGEHE CITY GUARD. EUGENE CITY. OKttQrUiM. The ICwuaror u an After Winner Speaker. A en after dinner ipeaker Uie em peror ha no r'iierior in (Jermany. U ipeiilu readily without note, express hlnuolf with vigor, never descend to conventional commonplaces, and, above all, give the rery beat assurance tbat hi word are not prepared for bira. I bar beard conspicnou speakers in Eng land and in our own country, and, if comparison are not in this case iuvidi on, I ibould Bay that the Qennnn em peror need not fear to meet ucb an au dience u even a New England society dinner assemble. One of the prettiest pcecbes 1 have listened to was delivered by the emperor in answering the toast to hi wife in the province where he wa born. It wa during the great combined naval and military maneuver of 1890, at which the United State was represented by Commander Ward, and Great Britain by Admiral llornby The emperor' word were: "I dusire to express to you, my dearest ir, the jrratitude felt by the empress aud myself for the kind words we have Just heard. At the same time our thank to the whole for the day we have passed and for the reception which the province ha prepared for lis. This day was. bow ever, not needed In order to assure n of the warm friendship we have found here. "The bond that nnite me to this prov ince and chain me to her in a manner different from all other of my empire i the jewel that sparkle at my tide, her majesty the empress. Sprung from thl oil, the type of the various virtue of a Oerman prince, it is to her that I owe it if I am able to meet the severe lubor of my office with a happy spirit and make bead against them." The word of the emperor were unex pected, and to no one more so than to hi wife, whose face beamed with hiippi nes at the compliment he so publicly received. Nor did any one who listened to the speaker at tbat dinner think to question the spontaneity and bonesty of the language. Poultney Bigelow in Century. Two Remarkable Marriages. Among the romance of the last cen tury is handed down one of a certain Doblemau wlio was making ready for his wedding ceremony with the lady of hit choice when lie learned from a frighten ed messenger that the lady had eloped with another lover. Not at all discon certed, be coolly continued hi toilet, and when it was completed he asked hit housekeeper which one of his servants wa without that excellent thiug in life a lover. Learning that the kitchen maid wa the only one, he lent for her, bade her don her Sunday frock, per (tiaded ber to accompany him to the the chnrcb at the time appointed for hit wedding, and brought the simple country maiden back a peeress of the realm. The marriage turned out very hap pily, like the more recent mnriiigo of an English gentleman In New York, who fonnd a young emigrant girl of bis ewn nationality who bad missed her friends and was alone fn the street lie asked her after a few moments conversation if she bad come to America to find a husband, and when the answered coyly in the af firmative he took her to the nearest church, and they were wedded, and are, according to the latest rcorts, happy together. New York Sun. A Ma Who Palm Things. Two gentlemen shook hand In the treet a day or two ago, and as they un- clased their band a mull wad of pa per fell to the sidewalk. "What is thisT aid one of the men, stooping to pick np the wad. "Oh, tliut is my live dollar hill," aid the other man. "1 made a ball of It and palmed It when I left the bouse in order that I would uot forget to atop In at my grocer' and pay a bill. Dut 1 forgot all about the coufouuded thing." "Do you mean to say that you have carried that wad in the palm of your band for an hour or two without realis ing that it was there?" "Certainly; I frequently carry imall article In the palm of my hand for sev eral hour. They never fall out, aud they don't bother inu. 1 learned the trick of palming when I was a boy, aud 1 have practiced it ever since. I can palm half a doten coin nt the tame time and retain them concealed In my baud all day if I want to "lean eat my diuuer, unokeaclgar, read a pnper, and do almost everything, except shake bunds, without disturbing the palmed coin. I find the palming knack very useful Hometimoa, particu larly when I waut to conceal any small article temporarily." New York Time. Why Ire rivals. Did you ever wonder why it it that Ice, being formed of congealed water, float? And why, on wine still lakes, it begint to form at the bottom before it doe on the surface? Scientists explain these eulgina this wise: Ice is specifical ly lighter than water just about to freete. and therefore float la it This it one reason why the formation of ice usually begint at the surface. Another it itt peculiar law of expan sion. The general law it that cold In duce expansion, this law bold good with water ouly to a certain point When water bat cooled down to within 14 dega. of f reetmg it cease to contract a before with increase of cold and be gins to expand till it fraxe.

The parrot laughed a little, but not much, over the success of hi efforts. And it was noticed that ho never swore after that melancholy affair. The reason wan that the driver wrung his neck. Brooklyn Life, Remarkable Htnry of a Mlnwraway. The Loudon Lancet records a remark able case, which illustrates what human beings are driven to do when suffering the agonies of starvation. The body of an Arab was found In the hold of a ship, and was couveyed to the Seatueu's hos pital, Greenwich, where a ost mortem examination was made by order 'of the coroner. The body was much emaciated, and the following extraordinary list of materials was found in the intestinee: Twenty trousers buttons, throe cog wheels apparently out of a watch, one I inch steel screw bent double, one 1-inch screw, six pieces or a lock, tne biggeat being inches long anil ono-hulf inch broad, a circular piece of brass, several piece of iron wire, brass, lead, an! two key tallies ou a ring one inch In length. Tlio weight of tho nrtlclea amounted to almost half a pound. The unfortunate man had evidently secreted himself In the vessel, and hud remained undiscov ered by tho crew during the whole of the voyage from some distant port, aud bad swallowed these articles to relieve the pangs of hunger.

MODEL HOME CHEESE DAIRY. George E Hewell in the "American Cultivator" Gives Another Man's Experience. Mr. D milked forty cow, and had a farm of some 250 acre in extent. He raised some grain and vegetables, and kept a flock of sheep, and raised a little stuck and a few colt. Hi main mon eyed dependence, however, waof course his dairy. Away back In the '5 , when cheese making wa in the labor of birth m America, Mr. 1). turned from butter to cheese, and he alway (tayed there. He made lull-cream stock, although lie wa not loath to take off a little cream for household use, rightly believing that excess butter fat had better be in his colfee than in the whey tub. Mr. D. ledicated a rear wing of Ins dwelling house for a manufactory, one room of which contained an under-heater vat ol 1,5 K) pounds capacity, a pree and need lul utensils, and the other apartment was tilted with sbelvea for curing the cheese. Durinir the cheese-making eaon the night'( milk was placed in this vat and its temperature reduced bv aerating. In the morning the bulk of the cream which had arisen wag worked back into tne miik by washing through a cloth strain er, and men me morning mna was added. In aversire warm weather the milk would be sullicientlv matured with the admixture of new with the old, but in cool weather the milk was judiciously helil a period of time at a warm temper ature, acquiring a degree of acidity be fore infusion ol rennet. Through tho process of manufacture Mr. I), followed precisely the mode ad hered to bv the best factory makers. Of course he produced just as good stock, and as dealers always regard quality and not the place where the cheese is made, lie ot just as much and oftentimes a fraction of a rent more on a pound than nelithlioring lactones. He kept swine enough to con"time the whey eliminated, and having it right at hi door, he was caved the la'ior of going dally two miles to a factory and fighting for his share ol the swill with hoggish patrons. A dairyman who make- up hia butter or cheese at home, provided he get no more for the product than is realized by faclorie, is sure of saving to his own purse the price charged for associated niukinu. When he has g large dairy and is far from a factory this may become a prime object to tit it. Modairrmau, however, ought to launch into private cheese making without some experience in the art. , Cite the Urn. Exeraia, IA. K.

Our material is chopped hay or straw, two or three baskets tn each pen; but a farmer in Heading, Mass., whom we recently visited, is us ing cornstalk, and like them.

It is an object lesson to watch a pen ol fowls working tor their dinner or supper, hvery observing man know that when he (its or lies still the circulation is slug gish, digestion retarded, health im paired. Apply the same Idea to the hen. and it i easy to see that making her scratch for her grain quickens the cin-u lation of her blood, promote the diges tion and assimilation of food eaten and gives her an appetite for more. It has tlie additional merit ol iieing nature's wav, the intention being that she should work for every grain, seed, worm or bHg she eata.

The owner of the vessel fits her out at his own expense, und the proht of the voyage are divided up in shares among the owner, the muster and the men. They are never hired by the month, nor do they ever get specified wages. The most that can be Kiid i that the men make a tolerable living, nnd the sponre fisherman who earns over 100 a year is the exception HOW 8FOSOKS AKP. OATMKIU'.D. The method of gathering sponges is by means of iron hook attached to long pole. By using a waierglas the fisher man can readily discover the sponge at the bottom, ami then by the pole und hook can bring np those he may select, leaving the smaller one untouched. Some sponges adhere firmly to the bed of the sea, while other are not attached at all, these latter being known as "roll er." About ten year aero an attempt wa made to iutrodnce dredges, bnt it wa found that their use was likely to ruin the beds, because in passing over the bottom they dislodged ami brought up not only the (food sponges, hut the young and unsalable ones aa well, kill ing the spawu and working great mis chief. Such an outcry was raised against dredging that an act was passed forbid ding it. When brought to the vessel the sponge are at once spread upon the deck and left exposed to the sun for several days, during which time the animal matter that covers the upongc gradually dies. This is a black, gelatinous sub stance of a very low order of marine life. which, during the process of decay. emits a most objectionable odor. The vessels visit what is called the kraal once a week to land the loud from the deck. The kraal is an inclosed pen, fenced in by sticks of wood so as to al low a fre3 circulation of water through it, usually built in a sheltered and shal low buy or cove, on one of the cays near by THK CHOP OF 1SU0. The sponges are placed in the kraal and left to be soaked and washed by the action of the water from lour to six days. when they are taken out and beaten with stick until tfhe decayed covering is entirely removed. Having been sub jected to this course of exposure, soak ing, beating and washing, the sponge are quite clean und ure takeu ou board the vessel, packed in the hold, conveyed to Nassau, aud Tn this condition are sold in the local market. Uf the larger sponge a catch of 5,000 or of the smaller ones 7.500, would be considered a fair lot. Occasionally a cargo of from 12,000 to 15,000 large sponges has beeu brought in, but this success ia exceptional. The principal varieties gathered in the Bahama are us follows: Bout, grass, glove, hardhead, reef (white and dark), velvet (abuco and cay), sheep wool, and yellow, of which the most valuable is sheep wool. The total export in lS'Jl) reached over 900.000 Kiumls, valued at 106,896. The crop of that year wa above the average, being really the most valuable one in many years. Of that crop there were shipped to the fjnitod State 708,000, valued ut $236,000. Bahama spoi';e9 are not considered very good, but a ready market is found for all that can be obtained, and at con stantly improving prices. There are no indication of any failure of tlie supply.
