The German Emperor must have been very much amused when he read the speech of one of the natives of the Cam•roons in proposing the “health of the Kaiser” at a recent festival. The speech was as follows: “The Emperor is the wisest and most powerful man In the world. He sees the treasures in the middle of the earth, and he has brought them forth. He spans the World with iron threads, and as soon a* he touches them his words travel over space. He has steamships that sail on dry land. When a mountala stands in his way he bores a hole through it; if a river bars his progress he guilds a street in the air. Though the Emperor is the richest of all men he has only one wife, and though his wife ts the most beautiful woman on earth he had not anything to pay for her.”
