THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

In tho inst place, tle German term
"licich" does not designate any empire
On q form oi government distinguished
from u kingdom, for instance, or re-
public, Strictly taken, II means
"realm," or even commonwealth,
while the technical term for empire IN
"Kaiscrrcich." Thus the Roman ON.
pire might DO called u Reich, M was tho
old German empire, because, for ono
reason, the hereditary principle in both
was weak, or did not exist and in the
present confederation, or Reich, the NO.
called imperial dignity, though hercdi'
tary in the royal house Of Prussia, il not
hereditary In the house Of liohcnzol'
Tern as such. II tho Hohcnaollorns
should ever cease TO 10 kings OF Prussia,
thoy would cease ipso iacto TO be ON
pcrors OF Germany. But the Napoloonic
empire in France was always called in
German the "Kaiscrrcich,' because the
imperial principle, whatever that may
I've, was visibly incorporated in the pub
lie law Of the state. The same obscrva.
ton held true of tho head of the state in
Germany. The press and the public in
other countries speak Of him commonly
ns the ompero. Of Germany, which is
incorrect. There is no such parsonage,
The federal constitution simply declares
that the presidency Of the confederation
is vested in the king of Prussia, who
shall bear tho title of German emperor.
Our usage of language and our habits of
political thought do not, indie, Il, make
any clear difference between the title
German emperor and thu title emperor
Of Germany; but to Teutonic-nay, to
Continental lialecticians the distinc-
ton is of vast Importance. The king of
Prussia is then merely president of the
German realm, and there is nothing inn
pcrial about him except his title. There
is no imperial crown; no imperial privy
purse no imperial civil list; no i'apcri.
vi suite, or court, or palace. Ho is
simply tho king Of Prussia, intrustcd
with certain executive functions in the
German federal system.-ProE Herhert

SWIMMING.

1t would be interesting to know
whether the fact of Il persons being n
good swimmer lessons his or her
chances of drowning. It undoubtedly
decreases the chances in favor of the
drowning of others who may be around
him; for person who can swim is
much more easily and safely assisted
than one who can not if distress come to
him in the water; and in cases where
good swimmers are drowned while by
then selves, they aie often 50 far from
shore that the lives of others IRE not i'm.
periled by going to their rescue.
But no person is absolutely safe when
swimming beyond his depth, unaided
by support sufficient to float him under
all circumstances, and the risks taken
by those WHO have confidence in their
swimming powers are perhaps equal to
those Involuntary encountered by those
who can not swim. Excepting those
who arc drowned in consequence of the
sinking or upsctting of vessels, and the
falling off bridges or docks, the majority
of the persons drowned are good swim
mers.
In nearly all of the cases of drowning
while bathing reported in the news
papers, the victims are experienced
swimmers. But these considerations
should not deter anyone from learning
to swim. He may be as cautious as
though he could not swim, and yet en-
joy delightful recreation, of which the
person who does not swim can know
nothing. And under conditions in
which person unable to swim would
have few chances of being rescued, he
would have many chances of escaping
with his life. Besides, the superiority
for the moment of the men and women
who can swim at our seaside watering
places over those who are doomed to
cling to the ropes, and hop up and down
with wild yells in the cruel of sand and
brine, is sufficient to counterbalance the
risks taken by the admired and envied
swimmers.

NORWEGIAN SUMMER,

The Norwegian house is one-half
window. In their long winters they
need all the sun they can get not an
outside blind, not an inside shutter, not
dark shade to be seen. Streaming,
flooding, radiating in and round about
the rooms comes the light, welcome or
unwelcome, early and late. And to tie
words "early" and "late" there are in a
Norway summer new meanings. The
early lighi of the summer morning sets
in about half-past 2, the late light of the
summer evening fades into a luminous
twilight about II. Enjoyment of
this species of perpetual day soon
comes to an end. After the traveller has
written home to everybody once by
broad daylight at ten o'clock, the fun
of the thing is over normal sleepiness
begins to hunger for it's rights, and dis
satisfaction takes the place of wondering
amusement. This dissatisfaction reach
es its climax in few days then, if he
is wise, the traveller provides himself
with several pieces of dark green cam.
brio, which he pins up at his windows at
bedtime, thereby making it possible to
get seven or eight hours rest for his
tired eyes. But the green cambria will
not shut out sounds and he is lucky il
he is not kept awake until one or two
o'clock every night by the unceasing
tread and loud chatter of the cheerful
Norwegians, who have been forced to
form the habit of sitting mp half thoir
night time, to get in the course of
year their full quota Of daytime.--At-
lanfic,

MISTAKEN JEALOUSY,

The numerous instances of mistaken
identity on record are constantly receiv-
ing new additions. There is an anus
ing account of French lady who was
very jealous of her husband, and deter
mined to watch his movements. On
one occasion, when he told her he was
going to Versailles, she followed him,
keeping him in sight until she missed
him in passage leading to the railway
station. Looking about her for few
minutes, she saw man coming out of
glove shop with rather overdressed
lady. Making sure from the distance
that this man was her husband, she came
suddenly up, and without word gave
him three or four boxes on the ear.
The instant the gentleman turned round,
she discovered her mistake, and at the
same time caught sight of her hus-
band, who had merely called at tobac-
conist's, and was crossing the street.
There was nothing for it but to faint in
the arms of the gentleman whose ears
she had boxed, while the other lady
moved away to avoid scene. The stran-
ger, astonished to find an unknown lady
in his arms, was further startled by a
gentleman seizing him by the collar,
and demanding what he meant by en-
bracing that lady.
"Why, she boxed my ears, and then
fainted," exclaimed the aggrieved gentle.
man.
"She is my wife," shouted the angry
husband, land would never have struck
you without cause And worse than
angry words would have probably have
followed had not the cause Of the whole
misunderstanding recovered sufficiently
to explain how it all happened.
