The Emperor of Germany died
last Friday morning, aged 81. He
lad been soldier over 80 years.
He will be remembered in history as
one of the most conspicuous men
who ever lived. The crown prince
succeeds to the throne under the
name of Frederick Ill. His early
demise ls sadly awaited, in which
event his son Prince William will
become emperor. He is a hot
headed young fellow of % years
with vague longings for great mill
tary exploits and it is feared he will
engage the country in broils and
wars and endanger the German
confederation.

Improved Diamonds.

Many persons have been puzzled TO
understand why the diamonds worn
in earrings by ladies nowadays main
tain such a ceascless quivering motion.
1t makes no difference that the head
of the wearer is in perfect repose. and
that she is even speeches., and there
fore exerting no muscle Of face or
feature. The ceaseless twinkle OF the
diamond goes on, enhancing greatly
the flashing beauty of the gem. Tho
secret is in the setting Of the diamond
and the method is n patent device.
The patentee is reaping royalty OF
$50 apiece from every manufacturing
ieweller to whom he sells the privilege
of using it. The stone is set in the
usual manner, except that band like
handle Of diminutive basket is at
tached to the framework. On the
other side of this hand is q cup-like
cavity. On the lower partof the hoop
is a projecting pin pointed with
rhodiun, metal which never wears
out--somewhat like the Iridium with
which gold pens are tipped. Now,
when the diamonds are put in position
on the hoop the rhodium point pro-
iects into the cup. The result is what
scientists would call condition Of
unstable equilibrium. Like the pea
blown with pipe by school-boy, tho
diamond is given no rest, with the
difference that no effort is required to-
keep it dancing. The metal point
never wears out. --St. Louis Spectator

Too Many Alabama Girls.

They tell this story of Congressman
Herbert of Alabama: His youngest
daughter, who is at a Washington
boarding school, was entertaining two
young lady friends from her home.
One day the Congressman called and
sent up word that he had come to take
his daughter and "the young ladies
from Alabama" to the matinee. Pretty
soon Miss Herbert and dozen bright
girls, all from Alabama, came rushing
down stairs, exclaiming: "Oh, how
perfectly lovely of you, Mr.. Herbert,

made the best of the situation and
paid the bill gracefully.
