v- X v WILLFUL wn.LIAM. The Autocratic Methods of the German Emperor.

Hi* Paitslon for Saying and Doing Things in a Sensational Manner—He ( ttcrly Ignores the Makers of the Empire.

The most interesting" figure in Kurojie nt present is the young German emperor. lie is the last of the kings among men w ho go to the housetop to priclaim that in their sacred persons the sovereign rules by “divine right," and that a king is still “the Lord’s anointed.” Like to Webster’s old soldier, he is a ruler that bus come down to us from a former generation, or rather a former age, the dark or the middle one, when there was no pretension that royalty might not aspire to which was not readily acknowledged by the popular mind. The elder king might and did claim that a divinity did hedge him about, and that the leper who touched only the hem of the royal mantle would depart whole and clean, and his claims to anything, natural or supernatural, were conceded to be good. “The king can do no wrong” is still a pleasant legal fiction, hut it was once a matter of popular belief. Nobody really believes it now, but the young emperor tries to make it appear as if everybody believes it, and he has no doubt convinced himself that he does. How he can do so in viow of the criticisms made upon him and h!S conduct by even a part of the press of his own country and the caricature and ridicule of the foreign newsjuqiers, especially of the London Punch, seems incomprehensible. That he is not at all like one of the old kings of the middle ages, as he pretends to In 1 , w ho ruled absolutely, w hose will or whim was the only law of his subjects, is easily demonstrated, not only by the fact that the people have their representative legislature, who make the laws, impose taxes, and make or refuse to make appropriations, hut that his old chancellor, banished and stripped of all authority, can and does arraign and defy him and his policy - , and cannot be silenced or punished for his obduracy. The truth is that Emperor William i« really a make-believe survivor of the old sort of kings who ruled autocratically, absolutely, aud, n-s was contended, were kings by divine right. He does the most extraordinary things and says them, and all the world, even in Berlin, looks on at the spectacle and laughs as if the kaiser were a king of a sprightly burlesque set before them on the stage. He is always in evidence in one way or another, and always suggesting an older sort of royalty. At the banquet of the Brandenburg diet, speaking apropos of the silver jubilee of the empire, he made a number of exceedingly florid ami sentimental references to the special grace of Heaven to him and his house since he has been emperor. He exalted kingship and his grandfather directly, and thereby, indirectly, himself. ’ "What hare we witnessed,” he said, “and what has been effected, we owe solely to the great Emperor William and his trust in (iod. The entire celebrations of the victories of the German arms, which were held in 18%, culminated in the glorification of Ids personality, which has become nothing less than holy to us.” Not a word about the old chancellor, who was not royal except in his majesty of mind and purpose; but who was the master of William and who really won all those victories and out of them constructed the mighty German empire, with comparatively insignificant Prussia as a nucleus, and out of its king created an emperor, and gave this brash young swashbucker a chance to make himself so interesting and picturesque a personage. deferring further to his grandfather, and as if to w holly obliterate Bismarck and w hat he had done, the emperor said: "It is our sacred duty to preserve Ids jiersomtlity and hallowed memory against all comers,” including, of course, Bismarck and all that group of great statesmen and soldiers who planned and fought with him for the making of the empire, and who gave William II. the opportunity lie is now enjoying of posing as an old-time king. 7-i tiie great amusement of the 19th century. The czar of Bussia is a real flu' Tat. but even he is an up-to-date monarch. lie does not send hysterical messages to Mr. Kruger, write songs or paint allegorical pictures, make ridiculous speeches or pretend to he absolute with the Reichstag saying nay to Ids schemes of education, taxation, or militarism. The young emperor is a source of universal interest, not only because of w hat he does, but of the cxpectation of the more extraordinary or ridiculous things he may do next. He keeps alive, by his prancing and posing, memories of a royalty that is forever past, and suggests, not what a king is, hut what a king would he if 19th century civilization and political progress would let him dis.iort himself to the top of his bent. Nobody except England and Itismarek gets really angry with him, barring members of the family of his grandfather that he turns out of doors or locks up in their castles when the royal humor takes him; he is not offensive, but amusing, interesting and picturesque ns a pretender to a sort of majesty that has no existence outside of history. -Philadelphia Telegraph. Too Gallant* “Yes, I told him that it was said that kisses were much sweeter in the

dark—”

“And he turned down the gas?” “The idiot did nothing of the kind. He just sat there like a stick and said that if a girl were as handsome as I, be thought darkness would detract from the pleasantness of the occasion. It was a very nice compliment, but there is time to speak and to act."—Cinoinnati Enquirer. —Reptiles and fishes are not generally provided with eyelids, these proteotipns being to them unnecessary.

A CASE OF TELEPAT .Y.

Tin* Oltl I.atly Appeared In it YUlon at the Time of Her Death A gentleman took a house in Ireland for six mouths, and whs accoo pnnied thither by his wife, and daughters, says the Beiiltu. The house was furnished, and had plenty of bedrooms. Therefore. it was decjded not to use a certain large, long room, with cupboards along one side (which had all been locked and sealed up with tape), in which things belonging to the owners of the househad been put away. One evening one of the daughters, going up to her room, saw an old lady wrapped in a shawl walking along the passage in froi t of her. 'Die old lady appeared to know her way and hurried on without hesitation into the unused room. The girl called her sisteu, and they followed the dame, into tire room. But all was silent; no one was there; the dust lying about showed no signs of footprints Shortly after the same young lady was reading on the hearthrug by firelight. Looking up, she beheld the old lady iu the doorway watching her. Greatly frightened, she sprung up and, rushing downstairs, was found fainting at the drawing-room door. At last the family returned to Dublin. One day, when a friend was calling, the curious incident which I have narrated was referred to. The young Indy very unwillingly told her experience. The visitor seemed very much struck and asked for an accurate deseiption of the old lady. “For," said she, "that house belonged to two old ladies, sisters, and when they left their house they went to reside at Geneva. One of them, answering exactly to the description you have given, died at the time you saw her appear.” SUFFERING FROM THIRST.

Feelings Described by a Wyoming Man with an Experience. No one can conceive the tortures of a ]>erson who suffers from real thirst. A Wyoming man w ho w as lost on the plains describes his sensations in a tivid manner. It was l>efore noon when he began his journey over a desert strip, and before night his horse had fallen dead and he had drained his canteen. Then he laid down and tried to sleep, but he soon awoke in the agonies of thirst. "I couldn't cry out,” he stiid, "because my tongue was numb and useless from the i«u!n. When morning came I just l>eheld the outlines of a wagon in the distance. With a superhuman effort 1 gave a shriek and then 1 knew no more. When I regained consciousness I was on a bunch of hnv near a fire, and two or three men were looking at me. 1 learned later that my scream had l>een heard by a party of prospectors, who were skirting the desert in onler to make a short cut to the Montana cattle trail, and that nt first they thought it was some wild animal, but one of the party insisted on a search, as he had heard a man make just such a noise before he died of thirst in the Mojave desert. It was weeks before I recovered completely, nnd I haven’t been more than a mile away from water, and plenty of it,

since.”

THE COMETS. Big Ones That Have Come t'loac to Oar Sphere. From all that is known of Perrin's comet, it does not seem, says the New York Sun, to be one of the largest of its kind. A very brilliant comet appeared in 1769 with a tail 40,000,000 miles in length, and passed within 2,000,000 miles of the earth without hurting any-

one.

The comet of 1811 was computed by Herschel to he 100,000,000 miles in length and 15,000,000 in breadth. Itremained visible to the naked eye for several months. Biela's comet, which many jiersons feared would strike the earth, first appeared in 1826; it came back twice afterward, and then vanished. Donati’s comet, with a tail 40,000,000 miles long, was first seen in 1858, when it was 228,000,000 miles from the earth. It nearly ran into Venus, but did not. The great comet of 1861 traveled at the rate of 10,000,000 miles every 24 hours and many persons thought that Its tall came in contact with the earth June 30 of that year, there being on that day “a phosphorescent auroral glare.” Much of the knowledge of the composition of comets is due to the late Prof. Henry Draper, who was very successful in making photographs of several of them. ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS. Aatur Library Has 9300.000 Worth of Them Gem of the Collection. There are $300,000 worth of ancient manuscripts in the Astor library, but the oldest of these, says the New York World, is the Evangelisterium, which i.- said to have been expressly executed for Charles the Bald, the grandson of Charlemagne. He was a p vtron of the fine arts, and was especially fond of embellished manuscripts. This rare and precious manuscript is w ritten on fine vellum and is an oblong quarto of ■Igio pages. The first four pages have splendid full-length miniatures of the four evangelists, profusely illuminated with liquid pidd and emerald green, shaded with red and white on an empurpled ground, the pictures covering the entire page. Tliis superb manuscript was secured some 15 years ago by the late Mr. AsYor, from the famous London bibliophile, Bernard Quartrich, who catalogued it in 1880 at $5,000. There are move costly manuscripts in the Astor library—for instance, the Antiphonaire of Charles X., for which I am assured the late J. J. Astor paid $10,000. But this old manuscript of Charles the Bald has, as an antique, no rival.

Mammoth King*. In India at the time of the British occupation foliated rings were fashionable. They were so large that when worn on the second finger they covered almost all the outer portion of the baud.

THE RAIL-SPLITTER. Etorlos of Abm2:iun Lincoln in Karl/ Life. In the summer of the year 1830 Abraham Lincoln exorcist<1 the rightgf majority and started out to shift for himself. When h'l left his home to start life for himself he went emptyhanded. He w.is already some months over 21 years of age, but he had nothing in the, world, nob even a suit of rcsix'ctnble clothes; and one of t he first pieces of work he did was "to split 400 rails for every yard of brown jeans dyed with white wulm t hark that would In- necessary to n. ke him a pair of trousers.” He had no trade, no profession, no spot of land, no patron, no influence. Two things recommended him to his neighbors—he was strong and he was a good fellow. His strength made li ; m a valuable laborer. Not that he was fond of hard labor. Mrs. Crawford says: “Abe was no hand to pitch into work like killing snakes." but when he did work it was with an ease and effectiveness which compensated his employer for the time he si»oiit in practical jokes and extemporaneous speeches. He would lift as much ns throe ordinary men, and “My, how he would chop!" says Dennis Hanks. “His ax would flash and bite into a sugar tree or sycamore, and down it would come. If you heard him fellin’ trees in a clearin’ you would say there was three men nt work by the way the trees fell.” Standing six feet four, he could outlift, outwork and outwrestle any man he came in contact with. Friends and employers were proud of his strength, and l>cnsted of it, never failing to pit him against any hero who.se strength they heard vaunted. He himself was proud of it, and throughout his life w as fond of comparing himself with tall and strong men. He drove the oxen on the removal of the Lincoln family from Indiana to Illinois, he tells us, and, according to a story current in Gentryville, he succeeded in doing a fair peddler’s business on the route. Capt. William Jones, in whose father’s store. Lincoln had spent so many hours in discussion and story-telling, and for whom he had worked the last winter he was in Indiana, says that before leaving the state Abraham invested all his money, some thirty oild dollars, in notions. “A set of knives and forks was the largest item entered on the bill,” says Mr. Jones; “t.ho other items were needles, pins, thread, buttons and other little domestic necessities. When the Lincolns reached their new home mjar Decatur, 111. Abraham wrote back to my father, suiting that lie had doubled his money on 1 is purchases by selling them along the road.”—McClure’s Magazine.

CARE OF HATS. Specks of Dust, Ruflled Feathers and Pinholes Arc Not to He Commended. The essential of woman’s attire, for which she pays the most fanciful price, is her hat. A simple felt shape plainly trimmed with velvet nnd wings costs no mean sum, and when a more betriinmed and bcfurl)elowed affair is chosen, the drain on the purse makes the wearer w ince. Yet how^fow women take proper care of the dainty creations after they are purchased. It is the abuse, not the use. ef the hat, that makes it rapidly become shabby. When it is put on for the first time the wearer i mst decide just where to insert the point of the hat pin so that will cause least harm. When the hat is worn thereafter care must he taken to put the pins in the holes made by them at first. If not, the crown will soon become roughened and marred with many punctures. When the hat is taken off it must lie carefully brushed with a soft whisk broom ami every particle, of dust dislodged from the brim and from the crown. The loops and bows must then Lb- pulled straight and the feathers or wings smoothed into place if the wind has blown them into disorder. A large band l>ox lined with tissue paper is the proper receptacle for this easily injured head covering. She who is the happy possessor of a i large hat trimmed with ostrich plumes must determine never to wear it in damp or stormy weather. The beauty of the plumes lies in their fluffy curl nnd this is speedily destroyed by dampness. Then the whole hat is trans formed fiom a thing of beauty into a caricature. I'nless a woman can nf ford a to,;ue or other siioili bonnet in addition she would better content herself with a less elaborate construction whose simple prettiness is proof against damp airs and tioistercusw inds. —Harper’s Ilarar.

Parsnips. An entirely new way of serving parsnips is in the. shape of an English walnut, with a nut in the middle. The parsnips are 4irst boiled nnd mashed fine. Then to each pint there is added a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a dash of pepper and two tahlespoonfuls of milk. Mix well over the fire, nnd when smoking hot add a thoroughly beaten and very fresh egg. Spread the mixture on a dish to cool. Then take the nut of nn English walnut, and roll around it the parsnip pulp until you have a good-sized nut. Boll in egg and cracker dust and fry a light brown in deep fat that is smoking. Serve hot.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

No .More Hook I’ropoR.sls. Search reveals the amazing fact that the proposal—in literature, nt least—is becoming obsolete. Stories there are of n plenty, but in the English publications they mostly relate io mysterious disappearance of diamonds, or are tales of conspiracy or intrigue, anti in the American product the proposal is all done behind the seenes—the reader is introduced to the engaged couple or to the married pair. The sentimental age is passing, evidently, nnd we contemptuously hurry over the roniantic episode to reach those dramatic crises in life which seem to occupy the attention of both writers and readers.—Chicago News.

DRINKS OF MANKIND. Many of Them, Inclutilng Herr, Are Very Ancient. In the beginning men drank water and then came to use the milk of cows, asses and cunuuels. Then in some spirit of invest igatioi. they drew the milk of mares and perhaps the supply more than equaled the demand, for some of it was left oier to stand .tnd ferment, and as a result they had koumyss, from which they first learned the delights of intoxication Next in linrmlessness to milk are those drinks which arc prepared from the profile Is of the soil w ithout the aid of fermentation. Such are ten, coffee, cocoa, chocolate. Among these the use of cooon is probably the most ancient in Europe, an it reached there be fore either tea and coffee. Emperor Montezuma must have been very fond of it. ns he had 2,000 jars prepared daily for the use of his househo'd and 50 for his own consumption. Columbus, who did many good things, carried the knowledge of cocoa to Europe and it soou became common iu Spain. It was introduced to England in 1657 anil about the beginning of the 18th century chocolate, w hich is a prep oration from the same plant, became fashionable ♦here. Coffee, the. drink more highly re garded to-day than any other, was first used in Abyssinia in 875. Thence it was brought to Arabia. A Greek first introduced it to England and made himself famous by the act. Tea, which rivals coffee in favor, is a native of Chinn, where it has been grown former 1,000years I’epysmen tions having drunk it in 1.660, showing that it was then a novelty. It will surprise those who like tcer to hear that it is not a modern invention. It was made by the Egyptians many hundreds of years before the Christina era, :is v eil as by the Greeks and Romans. We have received it from the ancient Gauls, who were great drinkers as well as feeders. Undoubtedly the use of beer wus common as early ns themsc of wine. Among the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Athenians beer was made from barley, while in Spain and Britain wheat w ;us used for malting. Tacitus in the first century said that beer was the usual drink of the Romans and the soldiers of Caesar introduced it into Britain. So-called beer was made in England a long time ago by tapping spruce, fir, birch, maple and "ish trees nnd using their juices. This process is still kept up in England nnd in this country, where homemade beers from roots are much used. Ale, which is more used in England than in America, is a heavier malted liquor than beer, aud contains a small proportion of hops. It was a favorite drink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes. A more aristocratic drink Isw ine.the use of which is as old as civilization. Its origin is ascribed to the gods. The culture of the vine began in Armenia and Ponlus and speedily spread. The most famous of Asiatic wines was that of Chalyb, which furnished the tables of .the Persian kings. Wine was not used by the most ancient Romans. Whisky, which is more democratic than wine, is distilled from various grains, from potatoes and from malted barley. It was named by the Celts in Ireland and Scotland. Brandy, a drink not so universally used, is distilled trom wine.—Chicago News. LI HUNG CHANG'S DUPLICITY. How an Kngll*h 4'aptaln Wan Secured for Chir+cM* Service. In engaging the services of a competent British officer to organize the Chinese navy, the government—i. e., Li Hung Chang- -was obliged to resort to duplicity in order to effect a semblance of reconciliation between the naval service nnd the mandarin system. After the experience gained in his first term of service in China, Capt. Lang declined to re-enter it without adequate substantive rank. Whether this stipulation ’.vas made by the British board of admiralty before giving him leave to serve, or was imposed by Capt. Lang himself, is immaterial. What the viceroy had to do was to contrive a form of words which would rr.tisfy the condition without disturbing tiie Chines: official arrangements. Capt. Lang was given the title of co-admiral \»i‘h Ting, w bile all authority' was secretly withheld from him. So long as Admiral Ting was present, Capt. Lang did not discover his true position. His advice was followed, he was on the. most cordial terms with his co-admiral, and there was nothing to show that he was not, de facto, commander in chief. As soon, however, as an accident, caused the two to be separated the situation was revealed. Lang’s order to hoist the admiral flag was disobeyed, and Commbdore Liu assumed command of the fleet. An appeal by telegram to Viceroy Li oidy brought strong' confirmation of the fact that Lang’s Chinese rank was never intended to lie other than a sham. —Blackwood's Magazine. Versatility Itcqntred of a Tearher. That til** old conditions of village life , in New England, in which the meeting house was a real center of public life and had an intimate connection with certain official things, still pretails in some places iu Massachusetts, is indicated by a recent occurrence. A voting gentleman who had l>een recommended through a teachers’agency for the place of master of a public high school was in correspondence with the school committee of the town, and among the questions asked as to his qualifications was this: “Are you able to sing in tiie church choir?” The young gentleman can sing; he obtained the position, and every Sunday his voice is heard in the. village choir. Moreover, he teaches the high school well. The people of I he 1 village say that their high schoolmaster always has sung In the choir, nnd they see. no reason why he shouldn’t lie expected to sing.—Boston Tran script.
