on the Lake Of Lucern, and when the
barge of the King of Holland came
along, instead of trailing oars and re-
spectfully falling behind royalty, sctu-
ally raced. The King was evidently
amused with the exhibition of Amer

An Illinois farmer determines the
age Of animals over nine years old by
the following novel method: After
the horse is nine years old a wrinkle
comes1en the upper lip, and every
year thereafter he has one welI-defin-
ed wrinkle for every year after nine.
If, for instance, horse has three
wrinkles, he is twelve; if he has four,
he is thirteen. Add the number Of
wrinkles to nine and you will get it.

1T Is GoING.-A Chicago paper asks
this conundrum: "Is Lake Michigan
gradually receding from our shore,
and will the next century deprive us
of our watery way" 1t goes on to
answer its question by showing that
the accumulation of alluvial deposits
on the lake front has thrown it far be-
yond the line known to the first set-
tiers. As this process is steadily. going
on, the chances that Chicago will, some
time or other, become an, inland city,
are'gravely considered.

The EMPEROR AND HIS PRIME MINIS.
TER.

The following clear-cut pen-and-ink
sketch of the Emperor of Germany and
Prince Bismarck is from the pen of Hep
worth Dixon:
"A stranger sauntering in and out
among the lime trees of Berlin may chance
to meet two men in earnest talk, on whom
his eyes will fasten with start. A plump
and venerable mana soldier from the
tip of his gilt helmet to the spur of his cav.
airy boo:-salutes with military quickness
as you touch your hat. Sedatc, little in
advance, and listening with curious
strain, he has the outer presence of man
to whom the weight OF life is not alone
the load of time. Though swart with sun
and toll, his features have something in
| them weird and mystical. 1t is a martial
and imperial face vet in the lofty look
too lofty for trace of ordinary pride
you catch, by surprise of the imagina-
| tion, some of the pensive and accusing
spirit of a monk. But even this fine fig
ure cannot keep your eye from wander
ing to the partner of his walk. Straight
as a pine and rugged as = larch is he; a
man in plain attire, yet martial in his
stride and gait as though he also passed
his life in camp. A man with ample brow,
| firm and massive chin, a head and brain,
trunk all nerve, he seems to pour out
floods of strong speech, yet with an eye
SO open and face so frank that he who
listens would not have him spare one
word. No dreamer, no self.searcher. no
dealist is he, but one who clings to fact,
to science, to the rule of three. No weak
ness fingers on that face; no doubt, no
superstition, no remOrse. When laughter
ripplcs down his cheek, it is the flash of
light on metal rather than the play of flesh
and blood. You feel at once that what he
does is right in his own eyes: that he will
never need to justify his actions to him
self. That elder parsonage, martial. med
itative, doubtful of himself, dependent on
unseen powers, is Wilhelm Hohenzollern,
victor Of Sadowa and Sedan. first Evan
gelical Emperor on this planet. That
younger though mature and sturdy per-
sonage is Bismarck, Chancellor Of the
new secular Empire in Germany"
