LAST OF A FAMOUS rMiiHLY.
Queen Wllh.liulua Doomed by Consump
tion A Ucpuullc Possible.
Little Wilhelmina, queen of the
Netherlands, is believed to be doomed
to die with consumption, and the men
who rearrange the map of Europe are
already said to be discussing the pos
sibilities, for Wiftiehninn, who is hut
twelve years old, is the last direct rep
resentative of the Nassau-Orange
dynasty. There aro some distant rel
atives of the young queen, including
an aunt, who is grand duchess of Saxo
Weimer; but, according to the Roches
ter Herald, no one of them has the
slightest claim to the throne. A plan
for preserving the territory of the
Netherlands will be frustrated if AVil
helmina dies. Her father, William
1 II., was grand duke of Luxumhnurg.
When he died Luxumbourg passed un
der the. sovereignty of Duke Adolphus.
of the older branch of the Nassau fam
ily. Wiortly after the king's death his
daughter's hand was promised to Prince
William, son of ' the ruler of Luxum
bourg. This prospective marriage
would have restorerl Luxumbourg to
the Netherlands, but in the, event of
Wilhemina's early death Luxumbourg'
will become practically a purt of the
German empire and it" will need all of
the wisdom of Holland's r.trttesmcn to
keep the whole kingdom from drifting
that way also. To escape from such a
fate the Dutch might airaiti form a
coalition w ith Belgium, but this would
be, an unpopular alliance, as no love in
lost between the two countries on ac
count of racial and religious diner
ences, to which ancient jealousies muy
be added.
It is more likely that in such an
event the states general woultl elect a
new monurch or possibly establish a
republic. Taken all in all, the house
of Orange has a more decent history
than any other dynasty in Europe.
Its men have been brave warriors and
wise rulers; its women good wives and
mothers. To this rule, of course,
there are exceptions, but not as many
as would be' the case were a like opin
ion expressed of other European
dynasties. This famous family takes
its name from Orange, a dirty little
French town in the department of
Vaucluse, which was the capital of a
small independent principality from
the eleventh to the fclxtecuth cen
turion. From its kings the Orange
house traced its descent. In 15.11 the
last of them died without issue. His
sister had married a count of Nassau,
thus establishing the Nassau-Orange
line. This count was the Suther of the
famous William, who was the founder
of the Netherlands. The William who
mariiod Mary, of Kngland, and be
came William III., of England, was an
other distinguished prince of Orange.
The luter members of the family have
not especially distinguished them
selves, but their opportunities have
not been great.
What tome people call prudence is j
often what others call meanness.

IN A BAD FIX,
The Startling Sight Which Met a Bon
Vlvant's Guze Next Mornlnir.
Here is a story which, according to
the New York Sun, was a favorite in
the repertory of a fumous Cincinua
tian: "On one occasion," he was wont to
say, "a friend of mine had been on a
terrific spree which had been occupy
ing his nights right along for two
weeks or more. . He managed somehow
to be on deck during business hours,
but when night came he was down in
the hold and everywhere else. One
morning he awoke heavy-headed, half
dressed and lying crosswise of the bed.
When he had gone to sleep or how he
did not remember. There was the odor
of stale beer and wine and tobacco
smoke in the room, and bottles and
cigar butts were scattered all "over.
Ily a great effort he got to his feet, and
for an instant his head felt as if it
would fall off and burst into a million
pieces. He cast his eyes around the
l oom. As they fell upon the foot of
the bed they encountered a grim, and
Trinning monkey sitting on the rail.
There was no known reason why a
monkey should -be there, but there it
at and grinned. He watched it intent
ly as he slipped over toward a table
where lay a loaded revolver. He was
very, very rocky, but he had grip
enough to hold the gun, and with a
mdden movement he had it trained on
the simian. He was a famous shot, but
the monkey never wavered. It simply
sat there winking and grinning. My
friend held the pistol down on it for a
second, steadily.
" 'Now,' he said, nervously, 'if you
are a real monkey, you are in a bad fix'
then he hesitated a moment 'but if
you are not,' he went on, 'then I'm in a
bad fix.'
"He banged away, and' it was ten
days before he was himself again."
TO HAVE FUN WITH BEES.
Inst Try If Tills Nlory Is fteally Based on
Hclrntlflc Truth.
It is a fact not generally known,
says Science, that if one holds his
breatli wasps, bees and hornets eunbe
handled with impunity. 'The skin be
comes sting proof, and by holding the
insect by the feet and giving her full
liberty of action yon can sec her drive
her weapon against the Impenetrable
surface with a force that lifts her body
at every stroke; but let the smallest
quantity of nil escape from the lungs
and the sting will penetrate at once.
I have never seen an exception to this
in twenty-five, yeurs' observation.
J have taught young ladies with very
delicate hands to astonish their friends
by the performance of this feat, and I
saw one so severely stung as to require
the services of a physician, through
laughing at a witty remark of her sis
ter, forgetting that laughing required
breath. Kor a theory In explanation I
am led to believe that holding the
breath partially closes the pores of the
skin. My experiments in that direc
tion have not tiecn exact enough to be
of any scientific value, In , I am satis
fied that it very sensibly affects the
amount of insensible perspiration.

over a remarlcahlo occurrence which
took place there- not long ago. It is one
of the most marvelous occurrences ovor
heard of, and it will provo to bo a prob
lem over which scientific minds may
wrestlo for some timo to como.
Edgar Ramsey is a farmer who lives
five miles from Lick Skillet. lie ar
rived in Middlcshoro recently. The story
he told would not find believers at first,
but since then it has been proven that
he has told nothing but tho truth. His
statement is thus reported by u corre
spondent of to St. Louis Globe-Demo-jrat:
"Last Sunday aftornoon I noticed
what appeared to be a large green-looking
cloud coming from a westerly direc
tion toward my houso. It was a long
distanco olT, and the rain was falling
heavily. Shortly afterward it became
vory cold, in fact so cold that I wont in
doors, lit a big flro and put on a big
hoavy coat. When I camo out again tho
big groen cloud was almost over tho
houso, and tho air was as cold as on a
; winter day. The wind howled and the
hail fell in stones as big as eggs. All
this lasted twenty minutes, and then the
sky cleared up and I felt moro liko my
self again.
"An hour after 1 was sitting with my
wife near the firo when I heard a horso
galloping at full speed, and when 1 went
out to see who. it was there, stood Jake
Warren, a neighbor farmer who lives
about a milo and a quarter from mo. He
was as palo as a ghost and was trembling
ill over. It took him over ten minutes
, to commence to tell mo what ho had to
say, and as ho was talking I thought he
was crazy.
"Ho stated that ft big green cloud had
3omo ovor his place, and that something
which looked liko balls of flro had fallen
all around his houso. Ho had five
acres of corn growing in a field next to
tho bouse. After tho storm had cleared
away bo went to soo what damago had
been done. Ho saw that somo corn had
been blown down, and, entering tho
field, ho found every stalk turned to
stono. There wero two Quo hogs in tho
Held, and they, too, wero petrified and
standing there as if cut out of solid rock.
Myself and wifo thought tho man was
raving mad, but induced him to remain
over till morning, when we promised to
visit his placo with him. That wo did,
and what wo saw will ho remem
bered so long as both live. There was
the corn blown down, hut every stalk of
it was petrified. It was not as hard as
granite, but it appoared to bo moro liko
soft stone. I took my knifo and cutU.and
it bocanio powder. Tho ears wero vory
hard, and they could not bo hrokonwlth
tho hand. Tho leaves were brittle, and
and if you struck them they would break
liko glass. The hogs wero there, too,
looking natural enough, but thoy were
as hard a' stone."
Gcorgo E. Henry, of this city, John
Rogers, Captain John B. Hull, ex-deputy
marshal, and soveral others rodo
over the mountains into Tennessee to
Bee for themselves if tho things ivcro
really thoro as represented. Captain
Hull, ex-L'nited States deputy marshal,
makes tho following statement:
"Wo went over this morning. I
doubted tho story on starting, but
thought I'd try it, anyhow. Wo found
Warren's farm about seven miles from
the Gap, and there, suro enough, was
the corn-field completely petrified. Tho
stalks wero somewhat blown down, but
they seemed completely turned to stono.
Tho two hogs wero thero also, and they
looked liko they wero carved out of
rock. It was tho strangest sight I ever
saw and I can't begin to describe tho
thing. There wero a number of men
guarding tho field with Winchester
rilles and they wouldn't let us go into
it. They only let us go to the fenco
We could touch somo of tho corn stalks
and could see tho bogs, but tho men re
fused positively to let us go any further
than tho fence. Tho women wouldn't
sav whv thev would not let nconle iro
j Into tho field, hut I presume they wero
' afraid peoplo would break tho corn
stalks to pieces. Thero was quite a
crowd there looking at tho thing, and
every one was thoroughly dumfoundod
with what they saw."
This statement is vouched for by a
number of others, and naturally there is
jonsiderublo excitement .

The Fight In a rasture Lot That Farinei
Goodrich, of Panther 11111, Saw.
Abncr M. Goodrich, who lives or
Fanther hill, thirteen, miles south oi
Scranton, Pa. says the Now York Sun,
saw a buck deer strolling along the
edge of a piece of woods on his placo a
few days ago. Suddenly tho buck
".toyvicd, I'irc'.v back his antlers and be
Van gasin.r toward the farm buildings.
In a hillside pasture field, twenty rods
below the buck, Mr. Goodrich's herd of
cattle were grazing. All at once the
buck caught sight of the cattle, and,
leaping over the fence, bounded down
tho hillside toward them. The cows
became frightened at the buck's sudden
appearance, and with their tails in the
air they cuutercd to a corner of the
pasture. Tho bull in the herd did not
run.
When the buck saw the cows caper
ing away he camo to a sudden stop.
The hull immediately faced the strange
cnini.il, bellowed savagely and began
to paw up the dirt. At first the buck
acted ns if ho didn't know what to make
of the noisy bull's actions. Ho backed
off a few feet and the bull slowly fol
lowed him. Then the bull made a
lunge at the buck with lowered horns,
and the buck got out, of his way by
bounding to one side. This was re
peated a number of times, the bull be
coming more angry at each failure to.
gore the buck, while the buck eyed his
noisy antagonist and kept out of his
reach.
Finally the buck began to get mad at
the way the bull was making him Bhift
his ground. When the bull agnin
lunged at him he uttered a loud blent,
bounded into the air and struck the
bull in the neck. One of the bull's
horns pierced the buck's shoulder, and
then the buck's fighting nature was
aroused to the highest pitch. He
danced all around the bull, jammed his
prongs into the bull's sides, struck him
with his sharp hoofs and didn't give the
bull another chance to gore him.
Soon the buck's energetic and fierce
attack completely demoralized the bull.
He made one more effort to down his
lively antagonist but failed to hook
him, while the buck got in another
I telling strike on the bull's ribs. Then
the bull gave a bellow of rage, turned
tail like n flash and ran at tho top of
i nis speed to where the cows were
middled. For a moment tho triumphant
j buck stood and gazed at the fugitive
I bull. Then he whirled, legged it up
the hill, scaled tho fence and disap
peared in the forest. The bull was so
, badly injured that Mr. Goodrich had t

Boston Transcript: "A gentleman of
my acquaintance, v hose lungs are not
strong enough for him to enjoy the
fumes of tobacco siiiokc lifter a dinner
party, brought with him the other
night to a friend's house a little lamp
which he set down on a table when the
cigars were lighted. Over the llame of
this little lamp was a ring of platinum,
which became red hot in a very few
seconds, aud which consumed the smoke
of a dozen cigars as fast as it was made,
so that the atmosphere of the room was
ns clear as it would have been had there
been no smoking going on at all. These
little platinum lumps arc imported, and
cost about two dollars and fifty cents
or three dollars each. They are cer
tainly worth a good deal more, for the
only unpleasant part of smoking is the
atmosphere of the room in which the
smoking is done, and if that can be
eleured by burning a lamp of platinum,
there can be no objections made to the
after-dinner cigar, and men cannot
make the foul atmosphere the excuso
for relegating the ladies to the drawing-room
while they are still enjoying
themselves around the dining-room
table."
