I have two pupils with me now, and a third Is waiting in the anteroom, while others will shortly be arriving.' "Hut you must! the lady ierslsted. "I am sorry' began Tostl again when he suddenly received a violent push backward and the lady walked Into the studio. "Tostl followed, protesting.

Germany Tranquilly Watching Diplomatic Moves of Rivals

BY STEVEN BURNETT (Special Cat! from thv International News Service. Berlin, March 7. Germany is watching tranquilly, but with profound interest, the course of the diplomatic "conversations" between the I'.ritish, French, and Turkish Governments on the subject of the Bagdad railroad. Of authorative comment there is practi cally none, although we are daily as sured by one or two newspapers, that Great Britain is going to get nothing and had better tak that quickly in case fche gets less. The Porte itself is looking after German interests. As inquirers in Turkish quarters here are told, the Bagdad Railroad company Is an Othtoman company. Some eighty million francs of its capi tal are held In Turkey, even if it was borrowed from Germany, and Ger-; i.i n . I. .i r m.iiiiniA!v rf i r o.lnilTl. istration of the line. If this be so, the Knglish government ought to disabuse itself of the Idea that the railroad in a German un dertaking. The president is a Swiss; France, Italy and Fngland aro reirescntted on the board, and if threequarters of the capital be of Genua provision, it should be remembered that ten years ago Kugland and France might have contributed forty-per cent. which is all tho Herman promoters will now allow. Nevertheless, good friends as tho Turks and Germans are. the former are genuinely desirous of seeing French and British capital invested in the line. The Germans are extremely useful, and there is no doubt that Bard on .Marshall von Bieberstein shapes' Turkish policy pretty much as he chooses. On tho other hand. Germans have little or no money to lend, and Turkey is getting alarmed at tho prospect of British and French capital, especially the latter, being perpetually excluded from the country as a consequence of Gorman predominance at Constantinople. She is thus between two stools desire to obtain French capital on the one side and to keep good friends with Germany on the other. After long and wearisome negotiations, the military authorities have at last signed a contract for the purchase of another Zeppelin airship. It was generally believed, that probably by the War office itself, which is known not to favor the rigid typo of airship, that the Zeppelin company would be unable to fulfill the conditions of speed demanded of it. This difficulty seems, however, to have been surmounted. The new vessel will be the second of its class in the posession of the German army, its sister ship be ing Zeppelin 1.. which was bought by the War office in August, 1909, was destroyed at Weilburg last year. Dr. Friedel publishes in the "Tageblatt." as the result of exhaustive inquiries in shops, stores, etc., an interesting comparison between the expanses .of a Berlin household of today with its expenses ten years ago. He carefully allows for the increased demand "for luxuries the Improvement in the quality of articles sold, but after mak ing all allowances, arrives at the conclusion that there is an average increase all round of 23 per cent, in the cost of living. If the ladies' of Berlin were willing to dress in the simple manner and in the, perhaps, poorer materials of ten years ago, say the Ladies' outfitters, they would still have to pay from CO to 40 per cent, more than they did then. Furniture costs 23 per cent more than it did ten years ago, and in the last year has risen nearly ten per cent. The price of the coal briquets, with which the German porcelain stoves are heated, has risen from 25 cents per 100 to 40 cents. Meat, as the housewife buys it, is on an average 23 per cent dearer. The price of bread is about the same, but even burials have become more expensive. A funeral which cost $12o ten years ago now costs $150. The Kings and Princes of Germany enjoy under the constitution the privilege of sending their letters and telegrams free of cost. and. as many of the royalties carry on businesses, like that of the Kaiser's porcelain factory at Cadinen, for instance, the private trader often raises his voice, though Ineffectually, in protest. The Prussian railroad administration, which, as railroads are an Imperial concern, spreads over almost the whole empire, has now issued regulations granting royalty considerable privileges in regard to railroad traveling. In the language of the regulations, the privileges aro allowed to the "all-highest, the highest and the high." thus covering everyone of the princely rank from the Kaiser to the smallest German potentatee. For the future the princes is to have express trains at specially cheap rates, and while the ordinary traveler must pay for at least twelve places when he orders a special train, the prince will only be charged for the exact number of places he requires. Again, when a prince expresses a wish to travel in a particular compartment of an ordinary express the compartment must be placed at his disposal; and even where no wish is expressed the station-master is to offer the prince a compartment to himself. When princely specials are running, locomotives with steam up are to be kept in readiness at the chief stations along the line of travel and the royal waiting rooms also are to be kept ready whether the train stops at them or not. A prince's special, of course. takes precedence of all other trains. no matter at what cost of delay to the Xyal's.

latter. Along the line, at tunnels, bridges and crossings the railroad staff must be reinforced. Anyone at a station which a Royal train is to pass, who incurs suspicion by loitering on the platforms or by asking questions, is to be given into custody.

Considerable amusement has been caused by the refusal of the omnipotent Herr von Jagow, Police-President of Berlin, to grant a managerial license to Herr Harry Walden, the popular player, who aspires to become an actor-manager. Herr Walden desires to take over the control of the Lustspiclhaus. the leading home of comedy in the metropolis, but according to a letter, which his solicitors have published in the newspapers, Herr von Jagow, considers Herr Walden "on account of certain episodes in his career and certain . predilections" as unfit for the responsibilities of managership. The Police-President does not go into details, but beyond Herr Waldcn's habit of sudden disappearance from town, sometimes on the eve of a performance, nothing is known to his detriment. Walden is half-British, or rather half-Irish, for he was born in the Emerald Isle and grew up with Knglish as his mother-tongue. He is indisputably the most popular matinee idol of Berlin, and an actor of much versatility, who is equally at home in Shakespeare, farce or musical comedy. He is also the best dressed actor on the German boards, and comes nearer to the English ideal, particularly in modern drama, than any other German player. The telephone service in Berlin is not half bad, but it has the drawback that one cannot safely tell the yrng lady who arranges one's communication what one thinks of her when she fails or delays to give the communication. A remark that she appears to have gone to sleep, or that she is slow rr stupid, would immediately be followed by a summons to court for defamation, so that all one can safely do is to hang up the receiver while informing the apparatus of what one's feelings are. Two cases during the week show, however, that tho telephone people do not always get the best of it in their encounters with the public. A lady was tried for saying to the telephone girl, alter some vain attempts to get communication, "your department is evidently out of business." The girl complained to a higher authority, which then, quite gratuitously as it transpired, charged the lady with calling the girl "a cheekyperson." ("Cheeky" is defamatory in Germany, be it noted.) The court acquitted the lady, and she had luckily two witnesses who had heard her as she telephoned. In the second case, a bank clerk was charged with using "indecent expressions" to the lady operator and the Crown Prosecutor called for ten days' imprisonment as punishment. The clerk was able to prove that he had never gone near the telephone, and, of course, was found not guilty. Tho Beginning of Satin. The discovery of the principle of the manufacture of satin was a pure accident. The discovery was made by a silk "weaver named Octavio Mai. During a dull period of business one day he was pacing before his loom, not knowing how to give a new impulse to bis trade. As he passed the machine each time he pulled short threads from the warp and, following an old habit, put them into his mouth and rolled them about, soon after spitting them upon the floor. Later he discovered a little ball of sl'.k upon the floor of his shop and was astonished at the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated the experiment and eventually employed various mucilaginous preparations and succeeded In making satin. BEST AT BED-TIME GOOD AT ANY TIME UM The Mint-Flavored Candy Laxative 10c and 25c.

MISSION MEETING TO ATTRACT THOUSANDS Exposition to Be Held in Boston, Includes a Tableaux of Many Lands. Boston. Mass., March 7. The first great missionary exposition

ever neld in the Lnited States will be opened in the Mechanical building, April 24, and will extend to ""J -v- taut-u iuc huiiu in Boston.' All preliminary preparetions for the event have been couiplet - ed. Professor LaMont A. Warner, of the Teachers' college, Columbia university, the architect of "The World in Boston," has completed the general plans and is now devoting his attention to sketches and working plans of the numerous scenes. A great deal of material will be constructed with a view to its use in future expositions. This part will be built by a corporation organized for the purpose of assisting in future missionary expositions. It purposes to rent the permanent material which it will construct to committees in cities which contemplate holding expositions. Each scene and each court Is in the charge of a lieutenant. These lieutenants are now engaged in overseeing the course of study which the stewards are taking to qualify themselves for service in the exposition, and they are assembling collections of articles for the various courts which arc devoted to the life of each country. Costumes are being collected for the tableaux of native life and missionary work, and soon certain stewards will i be trained in the part which they are to take in each tableaux. For the moving picture hall there have already been secured fine films from many countries included in the exposition, such as India, China, Jnpaa, Burma, Cuba, Africa and the islands of the sea. Home Missions, Too. Films referring to the work of home missions are being obtained with the assistance of various home mission boards and societies. The foreign films will be such subjects as patients entering the hospitals in China and India, foot binding and its effects, i preaching by the wayside in nonChristian countries, a procession of lepers, an operation in a mission hospital. Nearly ten thousand men and women, young and old, who have been enrolled as stewards, are commencing tho study of every land into which Christian missions have penetrated. Hundreds of text books are going out from the general offices, classes are being arranged night by night and four hundred teachers trained throuV) the normal courses last fall aro taking up their important work. The stewards are to impersonate the natives of the country to which they are attached. They will serve in relays of a few hours each week and are preparing themselves in the training classes to be exponents of the influence of Christian missions. There are about three thousand weddings every twenty-four hours, taking the entire world into concider-ation.

EXPORT 24 CARS CORN COB PIPES Output of Seven Factories in Missouri Is Valued at $450,418.

Jefferson City, March 7. Corncob pipes continue to bring fame to Missouri and shekels to the five towns which make a specialty of manufac turing and shipping them to consum ing centers. This unique industry, - . . ... ., , line convening o rougn ana practicalj ly worthiess corncobs into a commodi - : ty which is in great demand the world over, while still in its iufancy, netted t -even factories $450,418 in the year These are the advance figures made public by Labor Commissioner J. C. A. Hiller. The gain over the 1900 out put is $2,000. In cob pipes alone the production of 1910 amounted to 26,455.584 pipes, all made from Missouri corncobs, with more or less fancy stems and of varying values. It took ninety-four ordinary sizcf freight cars to haul this quantity to market. Fourteen ordinary cob pipes weigh a pound, and figures thus the many millions of yipes weighed 1.S84.24S pounds. When 20,000 pounds of pipes are piled into a car it makes it a very bulky load. Wooden Pipes Also Made. But the pipe factories did not all stop at turning out cob pipes, many going further and turning out wooden pipes also. This production amounted 397,752 pipes, and there were 1,350,500 extra stems, 190,944 cleaners and 50,000 piths turned out in the course of 1910. The center of the corncob pipe industry of Missouri is in Washington, i a nourishing community ot Franklin county, about fifty-three miles out of St. Louis. It contains ' three of the seven factories of the state.
