This was done to prevent any opposing ex hibitor from frightening the birds and stopping their singing, an end which was obtained by waving some object in front of them, minded, the birds could see nothing, and they sang.

Tills, of course, cheated great jealousy, and every effort was made to oust him from royal favor by ren dering him responsible for the failures which were laid upon the Icing's table. Greatly incensed thereby and fearing to lose his post, he complained to the king in person, who immediately gave orders that henceforth whenever a dish was placed before him the name of the cook responsible for its success or fail ure should be announced In an audible tone.

But we have lately come across some coincidences of dates which, so far as we know, have not been noticed before. The number 8S seems to have had fatal Influence on the Stuarts. Robert II., the first Stu art king, died In 1388; James II. was killed at the siege of Roxburghe Cas tle, 1488; Mary, queen of Scots, was beheaded In Fotherlngay, 1588 (new style); James VII.

Farmers declare that thousands of acros of the richest corn land will not be cultivated this year, as the owners and renters will be unable to secure teams to do tho work. An effort Is being made to im port mules in time for Bprlng plowing. Buyers are now in the market to se cure immediate shipment of tho stock. Horses being fed for export trade have been turned into the pasture and held for the home demand. All the foundation trenches for the World's Fair at St. Louis are being dug by machinery. The excavator, mounted on a stout wagon gearing, is drawn by eight horses. As it maves along it digs up the earth and ele vates it into a chute, from which it is dumped into wagons that are driven alongside tho digging machine As a wagon is filled and driven away another takes Its place, and thus the work of digging and removing the eartli goes on without interruption.
