From the Liverpool Courier.
Possibly you know man who is up in the
eighties that steps out briskly, reads without
glasses and eats heartily. His complexion Is as
fresh as that OF most men at half his age, and
fresher than that of many women who are
yet in the matrimonial market. He reads the news
of the day with interest," recalls events that trans
pired half century ago, and could transact
business successfully II necessary That man had
b!ded his time. Had he TUNED and fretted when-
ever he was banked had he stormed when disap-
pointed or gone into the dumps because his neigh
Dor had been more successful In business or more
lucky in speculation, he would have been old and
wrinkled or dead.

The Crown Princes Joke
WHY GERMANY'S COMING EMPEROR SUFFERED THREE
DAYS IMPRISONMENT.

WHY GERMANYS COMING EMPEROR SUFFERED THREE
DAYS IMPRISONMENT.
From the Newcastle Chronicle
A German resident who was a student at Bonn
with the present German crown prince relates OF
that parsonage that some time after leaving the
university he asked, in a mysterious manner, OF a
certain officer in Berlin whether he had heard that
the army was to be modified in twenty -four
hours The Officer raShly took II as a definite as.
seriOn and court secret but 1t did not long renal
a secret in his hands. He mentioned IL In a whs-
per 70 some one else; the reporters got on the
scent, and before two hours 1t was In capital let
tiers, Army Mobilization In Twenty-fOur HOurs!'
In all the evening papers in Berlin Then all was
hurry and CONSERVATION and inquiries. Against
whom was the war? Against France? Against
Russia? Was IL Austria? Was IL Italy? Was the
Fatherland invaded? Nobody knew. The generals
were asked; they denied all knowledge, but were
disbelieved They inquired, however, for them
selves; and after the report had spread, causing a
panic through all Europe, 1t was finally traced
back TO It's source. Prince william was severely
reprimanded by his grandfather, who gave him
three days arrest for his1ntended joke.

Diamonds Guarded Ingeniously.


When the French crown Jewels were sold by
auction last season 1t Is well known that the finest
and most historical OF the gems, including the
famous "Regent" diamond, were reserved, and
these may now be seen in the Louvre in the GAL
lery called after the well-known statue OF Apollo
which is such prominent OBJECT In 1t. Before
these priceless gems were exposed, however,
committee OF skilled officials and experts was
appointed In order to decide on some plan for
rendering their loss by THEFT virtually impossible.
And this Is what the committee decided upon. The
jewels are exhibited In showcase, the glass
plates OF which are exceptionally thick and the
iron framework OF which Is abnOrmaliy strong,
and an attendant has been appointed 10 specially
keep watch over the precious exhibit all day long,
Should he have the slightest cause TO suspect any
visitor or visitors he has only To touch a button
easily within his reach, whereupon the glass case
promptly disappears from view and sinks into a
specialy-constructed shaft, over the top OF which
the same automatic machinery causes thick covers,
formed OF thick metal plates TO close with sharp
snap. The ingenuity displayed in carrying out
this plan is remarkable, and the fact that the
clock-work apparatus has cost close upon fsOO
Will convey some idea OF its complicated char
acter.

Inequality In the distribution OF wealth seems
to many TO constitute the greatest OF all social
evils But, great as may be the evils that are
attendant on such condition OF things, the evils
