Prince Hohenlohe's card was handed
to me. He had called at the hotel, and
had said on the card that he wished to
see me as soon as possible, and would
be in the evening at the English En-
bassy, where a reception was to be
held.
went to the Embassy, where the
Prince arrived about eleven o'clock.
What was my surprise when he in
formed me that Prince Bismarck asked
me to dine with him next day at half
past six, in morning dress. On the I'd,
accordingly, at a quarter past six,
Prince Hohenlohe, as had been ar
ranged. called for me at the hotel. l
was waiting at the door for him. and
we went together to the Chancellor
Next day everybody at Berlin, and
very soon all Europe. knew that L had
dined with the Chancellor, and had
staid with him till toward eleven at
night. 1t was commented on as great
event. and the French papers have often
twitted me with this dinner, styling me
Prince Bismarck's guest" These alb
surd attacks have never impaired the
great satisfaction feel at a recollec-
ton full of interest. | have since
often opposed Prince Bismarck's policy;
he himself, through misunderstand-
ing, once attacked me in the Reichstag.
l have blamed him for many things.
and at the time | write these lines Pro-
fessor Geffcken's Imprisonment seems
to me abominable, Notwithstanding
the attempt to justify it by the ill-in-
spired disclosure of the indictment; yet
nothing will prevent my declaring that
Prince Bismarck and Pope Leo XIII. are
the only men-I have seen nearly all
the great personages of the time-who
have not disappointed me, but have
even surpassed my expectations.
Prince Bismarck appeared to me a
man beyond comparison with any, hav-
ing powerful mind. an unequaled in
telligence, a clear will, strong deci-
sion, wonderful sagacity, striking
way of saying things, of Judging men,
of foreseeing and directing events. Add
to this great and scornful pride, speak
ing of men with cutting sarcasm, an in
cisive and picturesque style, and abso-
lutte confidence in his own superiority
Even his stature exceeded my expecta-
tiOns. L had never seen him except at
Madame Tussaud's waxwOrks in Lon
don, where he was represented as
short man. SO that when the door
opened and this giant in uniform en-
tered | was quite taken aback.
My interview with him made great
impression at Berlin. The attitude of
the diplomatists toward me altogether
changed. No idea can be formed of
the ascendency exercised by the Ger
man Chancellor over the eminent dip
lomatists attending the Congress.
Prince Gortchakoff alone eclipsed by
his rivals greatness, tried to struggle
against him. All the rest listened to
him with extreme Difference, and I'M

Poor Peoples Chances.

Some years ago a city missionary was
crossing one of the parks in New York on
the Sabbath day and said TO lad: What
are you doing here, breaking the Lord $
dayl You ought to be at church and wor-
Shipping God instead of breaking tie Sab
bath in this way" The poor lad in his rags
looked up at the city missionary and said /:
'-Oh, sir, it's very easy for you to talk that
way, but God knows that we poor chaps
amt got no chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing that
in the United States the time has arrived
| when 1.-THE poor chaps don't have no
chance"
There is some truth in it The poor are
not shut out from making a livelihood, but
the gulf between riches and poverty con-
| tinually grows more difficult to cross. As
the country becomes densely populated
keen business competition decreases the
chances for accommodating wealth by ordi-
nary business methods.
But the same conditions vastly improve
the chances for great success to those who
can strike out in new paths, can furnish
something to the world that others can
not.
True merit, in commodity or ability, will
win easily'and with grand results in this
country, if the masses can be induced TO
recognize it. This recognition can only be
accomplished by what are sometimes
sneeringly alluded to as advertising
methods.
What a marvellous success has attended
the thorough Introduction to the world of
the merits Of that wonderful remedy for kid.
ney disease-Warner's Safe Cure. Hon. H.
b. Warner first came to know Of its cura-
tive power by being restored to health from
what the doctors pronounced fatal kidney
trouble. He concluded the world ought To
know of it and in the ten years since he be-
gan it's manufacture he has spent millions
of dollars in advertising the Safe Cure.
His methods have been ingenious
| times, perhaps, open to criticism, but they
had purpose, which has been accomplished.
But markl he never would have secured
four-fold return of thevast sums thus ex,
pended if the real merit of the remedy had
not been fully proven to the millions of peo-
pie reached by his advertisements.
Ten years of increasing success of War
ner's Safe Cure is due, first, to intelligent
and pleasing advertising, by which the peo-
pie were made acquainted with the remedy.
| Second, to the true worth of the remedy,
proved by actual experience, showing it to
| be the only specific for kidney disease, and
all diseases growing out of kidney derange-
mentS.
Mr.. Warner has something the people
want, tells them so, then proves it to their
satisfaction-success follows as matter of
course.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.
a Pleasant Pastime That Has Become a
Popular Craze Everywhere.

| a Pleasant Pastime That Has Become a
Popular Craze Everywhere.
Amateur photographers are so uu-
merous now that it is impossible to
make any accurate guess as to their
number. Previous to the introduction
of the dry plate, in 1879, there were
no amateurs in this country. Now
there are fully ten times as many anna
teurs as there are professionals. The
old method made it possible to take
pictures without very elaborate facili-
ties and costly apparatus. 1t was a
method of insurmountable difficulties
for amateurs. Pictures could only be
taken when there was dark room at
hand for developing the plates. Out
door views were impossible, unless a
tent was taken along.
The introduction of the dry plate ena-
bled photographer to take views when
ever convenient, and to finish them at
at his leisure. He can take pictures
in the daytime and finish them at night
in any room from which all light is ex-
cluded except that of a ruby lantern.
The advantages of the dry plate and
improved apparatus have made pho
Biography so easy and pleasant that it
has been taken up by thousands of peo-
pie all over the United States. The
amateurs include professional and bus
mess men who have leisure time dur
ing the day. and also many clerks and
others who have only Saturday after
moons and their summer vacations in
which to indulge in the pastime. Every
amateur who takes it up and goes
through the country taking views in
duces others to join the ranks. Thus
amateur photography has spread and
become popular craze throughout the
country 1t is not temporary craze
either, but has come to stay, and the
number of photographers is constantly
increasing.
The Improvements of photography
have enabled it to be applied to many
uses for which it was formerly not
available. The iash-light has made it
possible to photograph tunnels and
rooms where the sunlight does not
penetrate. Manufacturers are using
Photographic views of their machinery
much more than in former years. Ex-
ploring and surveying parties are fitted
with Photographic apparatus. All of
the recently fitted up men-of-war have
amateur outfits on board. and the de-
partments at Washington employ the
camera for many purposes. Insurance
men have taken advantage of instanta-
neous photography to obtain views of
fires, explosions and accidents as a
means of advancing their business. In
fact there is scarcely a line of business
in which photography is not now used
in some manner. The outlook for the
future is that still further improve
ments will be made in the methods and
the apparatus, and that the utility OF
will be greatly increased.

have occasion to walk about the
streets so much that without any con-
scious effort l find myself classifying
the people whom meet. and dividing
a great many faces and figures into a
small number of types. There is one
species in particular which of late has
inspired pe with good deal Of disgust
1t or he is young man of medium
height and slight frame. with a small.
narrow head, thin. pale face, promi-
nent cheek bones usually, and weak
chin. His dress is of the shabby gen.
teel variety, ranging from new and
flashy slop-shop garments to those
that are old and threadbare. His hat
is invariably a derby. and commonly
placed on one side of his head. He is
very apt to sport plated watch-chain,
and pointed shoe is one of the objects
of his ambition. There is a general
air of reckless abandon about him, his
high collar being very open in front.
his vest cut low, his coat unbuttoned
and his movements slouching and IN
certain.
If the reader recognizes this type,
he will not need to be told that the
young man whom we have in our
mind is commonly out of work, or
"loafing." as he correctly describes
his state. such being his natural con-
dition. l suspect that there is almost
always some toiling person behind
this gay butteray-some mother.
sister or other relative. who works
hard, and generously but foolishly
supports him. Meanwhile he walks
the streets, sits out on the common in
fire weather, haunts the dime
museums and other like places of
amusement, and must certainly be de-
ferred to as a connoisseur in five-cent
cigars. His financial transactions
almost always take the form of small
pool-buying on the result of profess
sional games of baseball. In fact, he
comes out very strongly when the
national game is in progress. and may
be seen hanging on the end of a horse
car in great numbers. with the usual
cigar in his mouth, upon those occa-
sions when a championship contest is
to take place at the South End. l

Pennies Were Legal Tender When Showed
Out One at Il Time.
The action of that New Jersey bank
in dumping $4,000 in silver on its floor
in payment of its checks in the hands
of a rival institution brings up the
question of legal tenders. Gold has
always been legal tender in the
United States. With brief interval
previous to the passage of the Bland
act silver dollars have been also.
Greenbacks are, but gold and silver
certificates are not, except on customs.
taxes and public dues. National
bank notes are not legal tenders, and
can and have been refused in payment
of debt. Subsidiary coin is legal tender
only in limited quantities.
A gentleman went to the stamp
window Of the post-office in a neigh
boring city and called for 100 one

One-cent pieces.
Those are not legal-tender in any
such quantities" growled the stamp
clerk. Il refuse to accept them"

The stamp was forthcoming.

many stamps do you want? You are
keeping twenty people waiting"
''Oh. l always keep within the law"
responded the gentleman. Another
