While evidences of poetic power and beauty are
by no means rare, the prominent and Astounding
merit of the book is its high moral tone and prac-

the author upon so good work, and ourselves
that we were among the friends counted worthy

An EmperOr's Kindness.

Emperor William, of Germany, is a
kind-hearted old man. Two anecdotes
are tod which illustrate his natural dis
position An official of the German civil
service and his wife celebrated recently
their diamond wedding. The emperor,
in his retirement, heard of this event,
and sent a medallion portrait of himself
in golden setting, ornamented with the
present, and at the same time sent his re-
greet that his inability to write prevented
his appending his autograph, which,
however, he promised as soon as he was
able to do 80.
The other incident is as follows Two
children of butcher, in village a
few miles from Berlin, having heard of
the emperor's fondness for blue corn
flowers (our bachelors buttons), gath
cred great nosegay of them in the
fields, and, without saying anything to
anybody, started off on the Berlin
highway, trudged all the weary miles to
the city, found their way to the palace,
and handed the flowers to the lacky " for
the good emperor"
Their appearance attracted attention,
and when questioned they told their
simple tale. They were taken into the
palace and given luncheon, which was
probably the best they had ever eaten,
and then, as the emperor OWNED that
the parents must be by this time in
great anxiety, the two little dusty and
wayworn children were sent home in
one of the imperial carriages, an honor
which made them the most distinguished
residents of their little village.

Disraeli.

The London Jewish World prints
some new and interesting facts in con-
nection with the family and history of
Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Baconsfeld.
1t sets at rest, once for all, the ques-
ton as to whether Disraeli was ever
baptized. 1t seems that he was ac-
tually baptized in the city of London
on July 81, 1917. According to one
authority, it was the poet Rogers who
persuaded him to submit to the Chris
tian rite; according to others, it was q
Mrs. Ellis, the wife of literary man Of
some repute, who took advantage of the
temporary absence OF his father to lead
the thirteen year old boy to the
baptismal font. However this may be,
there is still to be seen on the parish
register of st. Andrews HolborD, an
entry certifying that on the last day
of July, 1917, Benjamin, son of Isaac
D'Israeli, gentleman, and Maria, his
wife, residing in Kings Road, was
baptized by j. Thimbleby." Three
years later young Disraeli was an arti-
Gle clerk with the firm of Swain & Co.,
solicitors, in Frederick's place, Old
Jewry, firm still in existence at the
same place under the name Of Naples,
Teesdale & Co. He left the Old Jewry
to write Vivian Gray" and, as he
told Lord Melbourne, to become Pre-
mier of England" His place with the
firm of Swain & Co. was filed by mis-
brother Ralph, who is his only living
relative, and who is now chief Clerk to
Sir George Jessel, Master of the Roll.
Sir George is an Orthodox Jew and a
pillar of the Anglo-Jewish Synagogues
Our London contemporary also refers
to an uncle of Lord Beaconsfeld, also a
Mr.. Benjamin Disraeli, who, in the
early part of the century, kept lottery
Office in Dublin, and was probably
buried in the cemetery of the Dublin
Jewish Congregation. The fruit and
colonial trade commission house founded
in London by Benjamin Disraeli, thu
grandfather Of Lord Beaconsfeld, still
exists, though it has passed into othe
hands, in Mincing Lane, E. G.

A Husbands Hobby.



Mr.. Waite is model husband-that
is to say, in a good many respects. He
neither drinks, smokes nor chews, stays
home at evenings, never CANDLES, and
gives his wife all the money that she
wants. 1t is said that all men have some
idiosyncrasy or hobby. Mr.. Waite has
his 1t is deep-rooted mania for at
tending auction sales and buying articles
of every description, a Ia Toodles, with
out regard as to whether they will ever
be of any practical or imaginary Use TO
him. As long as he gets them at bar
gain he is satisfied. A good joke about
this popularity of his was related to me
the other evening by a friend of his,
Mr.. Waite went TO an auction sale of a
dealer in sporting goods, He bought
two hundred dumb-bells at twenty-five
cents pair and carried them home in
triumph. He stored them in the cellar
where they remained for six months or
so. Mrs. Waite got tired of seeing
them occupying so much space, es-
pecially as she Wanted the cellar for
some purpose of her own. So, imagin-
ing that her husband had forgotten all
about his novel acquisition, she sold the
dumb-bells for a mere song to an
auctioneer. That evening Mr.. Waite
returned home with hand-cart. His
face was flushed but triumphant.
What have you got in that hand
cart, my dearY' asked Mrs. Waite,
Dumb bells, darling"
Whatw
Dumb-bells Bought two hundred
pairs at thirty cents pair. Paid more
for them than for the others got; but,
you know, it will never do to let the
price of dumb-bells drop"
Mrs. Waite took one look at the
articles Her worst fears were realized.
They were the same dumb-bells that she
had sold in the morning. Mr.. Waite
had CHANGED to be in attendance at the
sale where they had been offered, and
had bought them in at one-third ad-
vance over the price he had first paid
for them.

THE FORREST HOME.

Some Philadelphia actors sent letter
to the Mayor asking him, as one of the
trustees of the Edwin Forrest Home, to
explain why that institution was not
opened to the persons for whom it was
intended, The Philadelphia Times gives
the reason, which is that the estate has
not yielded sufficient money to carry out
the provisions Of the will. Forests
personal property in Pennsylvania, in
Guiding the library, statuary, paintings,
and all assets, amounted to about $780,
600. The personal, property in New
York amounted to $lO6, 900, but the &C
count of the executor, Mr.. Lawson, has
not yet been settled, the impediment to
its final auditing being that Lawyer
Dougherty has filed an exception to Mr..
Lawson's account, Directing to a pay
ment Of SIS, 900 for counsel fees to Viii
liam Allen Butler. As to the real es-
tate, the Broad-street mansion, after be-
ing held in the market until the early
part of 1876, was sold for $9S, 900, but
the purchasers failed to pay the interest
on the mortgage and the trustees were
compelled to purchase the property,
which is now held by the trustees at
100000. An unproductive property
Forrest purchased thirty-fve or forty
years ago at Covington, KY, and which,
when he died, he supposed was worth
from $50, 600 to $50, 900, the trustees can
not get an offer of $4,000 for. Thirty
three acres near Philadelphia, supposed
to be worth $1,000 an acre, no bid at all
can be obtained for. 1t will not bring
$4,000 an acre. Springbrook cost For
rest ABOUT 100000, and the income
from it is very small. Another cause
of expenditure was the agreement be-
tween Forrest and the Rev. William
R. Alger, by which the latter was to re-
ceive $4,000 annually for three years in
return for writing the tragedian's life.
Forrest at that time expected to live to
see the book in print, but he died soon
after the agreement was entered into
Lippincott & Co. were also to receive
pay for publishing the book. Another
important thing was the claim of For
rests divorced wife upon the estate.
The verdict of the jury made divorce
that prevented Forrest from marrying
again, while granting her that privilege
and allowing her as alimony $4,000 a
year. The executors proposed an abso-
lutte settlement in lieu of the alimony.
Mrs. Forrest agreed to accept $95, 900 as
quittance,

ANOTHER war between England and
Afghanistan is imminent. England
considers herself insulted because the
Ameef of Afghanistan at Alimusgid re-
fused to allow the British mission. on
its way-teu Gabul for political purposes,
to goby the khyber Pass, browning the
height which commanded the Pass with
his followers. 1t is fully recognized that
the Amer of -Afghsnlstan is merely the
puppet of Russia. The question will
consequently cease to be treated from an
Indian standpoint, and becomes very
serious problem of English foreign pol
itics. The London Times, in an editorial,
says that the latest news leaves little
doubt that we must expect war. Opera
tions, in fact, have been commenced
already. The Ameer doubtless intended
to make the breach with England ir-
reparable. Such will be the eject of his
conduct. We ought to be well able to
succeed in occupying two or three i'm
portant points in Afghanistan before
winter, which will go a. long way toward
finishing the war. We can continue it
in the spring if the Ameer is still obdu-
rate. The blow, when given, must be
effectual." Even the Daily Ne,os,favors
prompt and vigorous action. A dispatch
from Calcutta says that the excitement
throughout India over the prospects of
a war is intensifying

MODERN playwrights, on the watch
for new sensation, could hardly ask
one more dramatic or more dire than
the catastrophe that happened at sea
the other day, on the African coast.
Two dozen boats full of Greek sponge
fishers were getting water at Mand-
rouka, when party of Arabs tried to
make them pay tribute of money and
food for the privilege. They were
driven off after bloody fray, with their
ammunition gone; but just then a con
traband seller of powder came on the
scene with his vessel. The fishermen
hurried to him, and got his promise not
to sell powder to the Arabs till after
their departure next morning He gave
the pledge, but then, r, fiecting what a
good thing he had lost, broke his word,
and landed a few barrels at midnight.
The fishermen rushed aboard his vessel,
voluble with reproaches, and, it is said,
struck him. The enraged trader drew
his revolver and fired into his powder
barrels, when a terrible explosion tore to
shreds the vessel and all on board. OF
the seventy Greek fishermen that so per
ished, tifty-five were from the Isle OF
Halkis; the Others were mostly Rhodians
and sailors from Calymnos. One might
fancy that an accidental or ill-aimed
shot fred the vessel; but the more
palpitatlDg theory is the one contained
in the Athens (Greece) Messenger al
ready given. ...-.. --

POSTMASTER JONES, of Crook City, in
the Black Hills, has fallen into disgrace.
A local newfwper tells the story. The
people Of Crook City believe he has gone
for good, and petitions are being circu-
lated for the appointment of new
Postmaster. At the last game of poker
he played there he made grab for the
pot, said to represent one hundred and
twenty-five dollars, and claimed it as his
money, accusing the other players of
cheating. He made good his grab by re-
fusing to give it,up at the point of a
revolver, daring the holder of the
weapon to shoot him. 1t was a clear
case of desperation, as he had invariably
lost, and probably this was his only
chance to- secure sufficient money to
leave the country with.

DISCOVERIES of America.

A strange fatality attended the early
discoveries of America. Columbus died
broken-hearted; Roldin and Bobadilla
were drowned; Ovanda was harshly SUI
perseded; Las Casas sought refuge and
consolation in cowl; Ojeda died in ex-
treme poverty; Encisco was deposed by
his followers; Nicuessa persisted miser-
ably by the cruelty of his party; Vasco
Nunez de Balboa was disgraceiully be-
headed; Narvaez was imprisoned in a
tropical dungeon, and afterwards died
of hardship; Cortez was dishonored
Alvarado was assasinated. Almagro was
garroted; Pizarro was murdered, and
his four brothers killed. Among the
secondary chiefs, assassinations, muir.
ders and violence prevailed.
