FORTY MILLION CAKES YEARLY.
She Chargee a Skillful Man and la Thrown
Over In a Jiffy.
In Washington county, Maine, be
tween New Stream and the East Ma
chlas river, the townsmen of North
field and Whltneyvllle have had con
siderable fun since October chasing a
wild heifer, which strayed from Bart
lett Albee’s farm In Northfleld some
time last summer. She displayed all the
alertness and sagacity of game animals
In eluding capture. Dogs were put on
her in November, but Instead of circling
as deer do when pursued by hounds,
she put straight away like a caribou, to
remain for weeks away from her accus
tomed localities.
Saturday a week ago there was a
heavy snow storm In that part of the
country, and report having come to
Whltneyvllle that the heifer, a shadow
of her former self, had been sighted In
the woods near the confluence of Old
and New streams, which empty into
the Machlas east of Northfleld, Thomas
Hennessey and Jim Healey, accompa
nied by some boys, started out to cap
ture her.
Hunger had driven the animal from
the woods to the clearings, but nothing
could Induce her to come near a human
being. When sighted, Hennessey and
Healey gave chase on snowshoes, the
deep snow making rapid progress for
the heifer out of the question. She ran,
however, till her pursuers were close
on her quarters, when she suddenly,
says the New York Sun, turned to give
battle. Her bellowing* were terrific and
she looked so frightful when she turned
that Hennessey and the boys gave way.
Healey was game. Two years ago a
she bear is said to have treed him, and
he has been the victim of more or less
guying ever since. He Is a powerful
young fellow and knows how to handle
cattle.
When the heifer turned he planted
himself squarely in front of her. She
hesitated, eyed him furiously for a mo
ment, and charged. When she lowered
her. head to give him the toss, Healey
grasped both of her horns, threw all
the weight of his body on his left hand,
bearing the heifer's head Into the snow,
it the same time pushing up and over
on the left horn. It’s a trick that has to
be done on the instant, and when it Is
worked as Healey worked it, down goes
the animal, as did the heifer.
Healey held her head In' the snow
while Hennessey and the boys procured
ropes with which to tie her legs to
gether. This being done, she was bun
dled into a sled and taken to Northfleld,
where she Is now putting on fat and
getting used to her earlier surround
ings.
NO CRITICISM ALLOWED.
t Yonth Who Thought Lady Churchill’s
Music Lacked SouL
Lord Randolph Churchill, when in his
best health and busy, used to astonish
most other Englishmen by his lndlfTer
snce to “sport" as a means of getting
rid of his occasional lapses of leisure.
He once said that he knew of two ways
of spending a holiday Infinitely prefer
able to going off to Scotland for the
shooting; one was to go to Paris and
live a month or so on the boulevards;
the other was to run down to Brighton
and stay In bed twenty hours out of the
twenty-four. His Ideal of a happy life,
says a writer in Kate Field’s Washing
ton, was to go to bed in a quiet room,
stay there during the day reading and
dozing, dine In slippers and dressing
gown in the evening, and as soon aS
convenient thereafter go back to bed.
Such liking as he had for society was
of the unconventional sort. He never
took a keen artistic delight In his wife’s
musical accomplishments, but he was
unwilling that any one else should
speak disparagingly of them. At an en
tertainment once, where she had con
sented to execute a brilliant dash on
the piano, a tall youth with bangs and
i monocle was observed paying a lan
guid and rather Insolent attention to
the music, standing close enough to the
performer to have his comments easily
overheard by her. “Lord Randy” was
close at hand, too, and presently heard
me vapia youin remarx: ueucea nne
music, you know, but it lacks weal soul
—It lacks weal soul.” To the critic’s
astonishment a muscular young man
with a big mustache, whom he had not
noticed before, whispered in his ear:
“For a shilling I’d wallop the life out of
you." He hastened to withdraw, with
out discovering the Identity of the au
thor of the menace. The next day, to
his delight, he received an invitation to
the Churchills' home. Of course he ac
cepted with avidity. On entering the
house he was met by his threatening
neighbor of the night before, who, he at
3nce discerned, must be Lord Randolph.
He proceeded no further than the en
trance hall, for Churchill beckoned In
the direction of the drawing-room and
out floated Lady Churchill. “This fel
low has come to apologize to you for his
remarks of last night," hissed Lord
Randolph. “Now,” to the stranger,
“down on your knees!" Down went the
dandy, lisping out the most abject plea
for forgiveness. Then he was turned
over to a footman to be put lgnominl
ously out of the door, while the host
followed his retreating figure with a
roar of derisive' laughter.
ABOUT QUEEN .VICTORIA,
Three Storlee That Are Interacting Her
earning England** Sovereign.
For many years after her husband's
death Queen Victoria would never con
sent to be photographed, save In very
lugubrious trim and with the prince
consort’s bust or portrait well In sight.
Much livelier now that she Is much
older, her majesty to-day sits for art
ists, and some of her favorite jewels
and laces have thus become well known
to the public. The severely criticised
ornaments bedecking the sovereign's
head and chest on the Jubilee coinage
may be recognized as studies from ac
tual Jewels much beloved by her ma
jesty. Sir Rdgar Boehm had a hard
time of it with outsiders when those
coins were first Issued, but he was
amply compensated by euloglums fall
ing from royal and Imperial Ups upon
the charming way he had rendered
that favorite necklace, brooch, and
earrings.
The queen’s money from the state Is
all paid up in advance to the 31st of
the month, and so are all the annui
ties that are granted to the prince ol
Wales and the other members of the
royal family, and Coutts’, the bankers,
are the only persons who know how thd
royal accounts stand. The $36,000 a year
allowed for the children of the prince
of Wales remains at the same amount
as It was before the death of the duke
of Clarence, and this money will con
tinue to be paid till six months after
her majesty's demise.
On each anniversary—or the annual
celebration of the queen's wedding—
the beautiful painting of the marriage
of her majesty is brought Into the din
ing room and decorated with white silk
rosettes. In this painting the queen’s
mother and the beautiful duchess of
Sutherland, mistress of the robes, show
to great advantage. The curtana alec
appears near the queen’s shoulder, held
at the "carry" by a state officer (the
curtana or curteln Is the pointless
sword of King Edward the Confessor,
considered an emblematic sign of
mercy), and In the left hand back
ground of the picture are two large
burning tapers on the altar of the
Chapel Royal, St. James, which were
blown out by the archblshopB of Canter
bury and York Immediately after the
ceremony. These candles are still pre
served. and will not be lighted
again until required for a sacred cere
mony, Which, we trust, will not take
place until all the young society people
of to-day are bald-headed and have to
wear wigs.
FARMERS IN CUBA.
Nearly All but the Owners of Great Es
tates Are Abjectly Poor.
Between the condition of the plantar
and that of all other agriculturists
whatever In Cuba the widest difference
exists. The laborer has nothing, nevel
has had anything and Is happy In the
knowledge that he never will have any
thing. The small farmer, the owner of
a few acres, Is the most abjectly pov
erty stricken son of the soil that I have
ever met. He lives In the poorest habi
tation known to civilised man, a hut
made of the bark of the palm tree. Be
side It the adobe dwelling of the Mexi
can Is a palace. It has one room, a dirt
floor, neither window nor chimney; In
this the family live like cattle, subsist
ing upon the poorest of food, as most
that the soil produces must go to pay
the taxes. Children run about, guilt
less of the knowledge of clothes until
6 or 8 years old. Books, education, th<
world, are things of which they have
never even dreamed. It is true that
there is an intermediate group. Be
tween these people and the planters Is
a small contingent of thrifty farmers
Here and there through the country
may be seen a stone dwelling with red
tile roof that marks the home of one
who by some rare enterprise has be
come possessed of enough land to en
gage in cattle raising or fruit growing
But the prosperous, forehanded, middle
class farmer Is conspicuous by his ab
sence, says James Knapp Reeve in Lip
plncott's Magazine. It Is because there
!• no such middle class, and because
the country people are either the own
ers of great. estates or else abjectly
poor, that it is a mistake to speak of
Cuba as a rich country. It cannot be
so while the present conditions exist.
But with such a combination of soil
and climate as she possesses, the island
is capable of great things. Money and
enterprise are needed for the develop
ment of Its resources, and these are
not likely to be forthcoming while the
present social and political conditions
remain. If the islands were open to
American enterprise as freely as our
own territory Is, a decade would suffice
for the working of great changes.
| QUEEN’S PRIVATE SECRETARY
He Is Nothing More than a Mere Stock
broker’s Son.
Sir Fleetwood Isham Edwards is the
only member of the higher entourage of
the queen who is a bourgeois pure and
simple. As a rule, Victoria’s con
fidential advisers are of aristocratic
or distinguished military conections
Sir Fleetwood was the son of a stock
broker, who lived and died and was
burled at Harrow, where some five and
thirty years ago he had three sons in
the school belonging to the then some
what slighted body of Home Boarders
He entered under Dr. Vaughan, and
left under Dr. Vaughan in 1858, and ob
tained a commission In the Engineers
In 1863. It was at the Berlin congress
—he was attached to the special em
bassy—that he gained the favor of thal
best of Judges of men, the earl of Bea
consfleld. Through him he was brought
to the queen’s notice, and In the year
of the congress, 1878, he became assist
ant private secretary and keeper of the
privy purse. Since then he has gone
on from honor to honor. The pink oi
perfection, always well dressed and well
demeanored, he has about him * me
thing of the martinet, which seems al
most Inseparable from the successfu
sapper, and Is not unwelcome to the
highest quarters of the realm. He hat
a brother, also a soldier-secretary. Col
C. C. Edwards, private secretary ti
Earl Fltzwllliam.
Another Illusion done.
Those who may have hitherto be
lieved that the vanity of the female ses
was Invincible should make a note oi
the fact that only one member of the
Colorado legislature has refused to be
photographed In a group, and that
member, alas, was a woman.
NO CASH "TIPS"' FOR WOMEN.
They Qe» Only Smiles and Smirks from
Man at Restaurants.
In restaurants where women are em
ployed as waiters the average man
seems to be of the opinion that smiles*
or smirks are tantamount to "Ups,’’
although they cost the giver nothing
and have no cash value anywhere, ex
cept, perhaps, as elements to be con
sidered In estimating damages In
breach of promise suits, soys the New
Tork Herald. Why a man should con
sider It more or less obligatory on him
to give a gratuity to the man who waits*
upon him, be he white or colored, whllo
his conscience relieves him of all such
obligations when a woman performs a
similar service for him. Is one of those
mysteries which the feminine mind Is
Incapable of solving. I have conversed
with several "waitresses" on the sub
ject, and they have always told me
that they would Infinitely prefer dimes
to smiles, more especially as their pay
*o Diimu imu me prumem ui nmiiiuK
both ends meet is for them a particu
larly hard one. It may be said In de
tense of masculine custom In this mat
ter that the conduct of the recipients
of these amatory demonstrations
would Justify the opinion that they pre
fer them to small pecuniary emolu
ments, but the cruel fact Is that the girl
employed In a restaurant who doesn’t
act more or less as a flirt stands no
chance of retaining: her position. A
complaint of a customer's familiarity,
Instead of causing him to be rebuked,
would more likely result In her own
dismissal. It isn’t alone for waiting
that she is paid. She Is expected to
make herself "attractive." There are
many men of an economical turn of
mind whose patronage of restaurants
where women are employed Is largely
due to the fact that at such places they
can refrain from “tipping” without be
ing suspected of meanness. And a
dime saved Is 20 cents earned. But, all
the same, a woman who waits on table
In a restaurant Is Just as much entitled
to a "tip” as a man, and the fact that
she doesn't get It Is only another link
In the chain of evidence which shows
that the average man will always take
advantage of a woman In pecuniary
matters It he gets half a chance. That
Is to say, for doing the same thing he
will always pay a woman less than he
will a man.
TOLD OF WARD M’ALLISTER.
Story of the Separation of His Wife
and His Oldest Bon,
The story, according to an old society
woman, Is this: Soon after the mar
riage of Ward McAllister he and his
bride went abroad and took up a year's
residence In Paris. Here they enter
tained and lived very magalfloently.
They were extremely popular, and when
the little Ward appeared on the scene
"is was made the recipient of no more us
gifts and was treated like a baby of
royalty. His mother was passionately
devoted to him, giving up society for
him, and not even allowing the nurses
to touch him when her own care could j
take the nurse’s place. But the young
wife was not strong. Soon her health
began to weaken under the strain of
the care of the boy, and, after a consul
tation, the Parisian doctors said that
the two must be separated and the
mother travel in Italy for her health or
the would die. Immediately Ward Mc
Allister began making preparations for
the trip. But to his surprise his wife
refused to be separated from the child.
Poor mothers took care of their chil
dren, why could not she? And she
knew that prepared French food would
kill him—that was the secret of It all.
Finally a desperate scene was gone
through with. And the wife was car
*ied off forcibly to Italy, while the baby
returned on the steamer with his nurae
to make a visit to an uncle and aunt on
the Pacific coast. But before the sepa
ration Mrs. McAllister made this vow:
"If you take the child away now I will
never look upon him again.” And she
has kept that vow to this day—now
forty years. That is the story as the
clubmen and older society women tell
t, says a correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun. Possibly there Is but little foun
dation for It to rest upon. Fear
ing for the future of the son, the gos
sips go on to say, he had saved money
for him and used all his enormous so
cial Influences for him. Once he dined
\ certain western railroad magnate on
consideration that he would give Ward,
Ir„ the counsel work for his western
roads. The son occasionally visits New
York.

Whon the Lalimes took up rollet
skating at the Worcester rink, which,
by the way, was admirably adapted
for the sport, and the skating craze
broke out in this country, it was all
over in Europe, but Plympton had made
a fortune out of it. Ilere, too, rinks
were shoi~-livf.d.
The Winslow skate, made later,
brought out lawsuits with Plympton,
who claimed an infringement. But
Plympton’s patent had not long to run,
and the dispute was in some way ad
justed.
It was an admirable exercise, and
there was no end to the possible skill.
It was a pity it could not last, but
Americans overdo all amusements.
