I ■Tae German Emperor. William 11. has been for three years emperor, and in this time has succeeded not only in winning (he resued oi foreign cabinets but in strengthening ' himself at home, He succeeded a father idolized by all who came within the sphere of his gentle and generous , nature; bis grandfather left behind a i warlike fame so great that only the age of irederick 11, can afford a parallel. The present Emperor has had, therefore, no easy task before him, for it has been necessary for him I both to remove prejudice and to give ! the country confidence in his inteu- I tions as well as in bis abilities. 1 lie secret of the E - neror’s power ; with his own people arises mainly from three causes: First. He has courage. Second. lie is honest. I hird. He is a thorough German. *■! I If the whole country had to vote to- ' morrow for a leader embodying the qualities they most desired, their choice would fall unquestionably on their ' present constitutional ruler. Perhaps I I the virtues I have specified appear , common-place, ul »vill be taken for I granted by the reader; but an emperor I must be compared with others in the same trade. j Ills honesty has been tho cause of i I nearly all the malevolent criticism । that outside papers have accorded j him, for he has said freely what older ior move politic people might have placed in a different way. He has ■ made many minor mistakes from actI ing upon the impulse of the moment, i but these mistakes have never betrayed to his people a want of sympathy with their development. He has made his 1 share of minor blunders in handling large masses of troops nt the grand manoeuvers, but the army would be : I happy to see him make a thousand I times as many rather than to miss the ’ active interest he takes in keeping the military machine in working order.— ! j Coultney girjelow in the Century.

For over her classmates slic’d so r. bo she entered the subject of steam navigation. Took also inst uction in church education, Aud mastered the study of impersonation, And still she was longing for more. Next she tackled the latest great fad, electricity. Dress reform institutes taught her simplicity. Sought the best way to encourage felicity. Oh! she's as smart its a book! She at last ended up with a course in phonetics. Gave a little attention and time to athletics. The rest of h< r leisure she gave to magnetics. And now she is learning to cook ! —Boston Transcript.

A Sunken Forest. There Is a sunken forest of white eedar in New Jersey which bus been continuously “mineil” for its valuable timber for over eighty years. The curious industry of digging for the sunken logs is carried on by the people of Dennisville, Cape May county, a village which was brought into existence solely threugh the wealth of the buried timber in its vicinity. Over the sunken forest trees of large size are growing, and in many instances these are cut away in order to get at the more valuable timber, which lies only I three or four feet below the surface. Ail the sunken trees are of enormous size, two to five times larger than those now growing on the surface. Ihe exact agt in which they lived is u matter of carious conjecture. It is probable that they were buried many centuries ago by the actioaof an earth* quake.
