SOCIETY, or the law, has no business
to lend its power to one man to get
the advantage OF another, even in the
struggle of natural competition. 1t
assumes tllat it has not done so, or
that it has discharged its duty when it
protects property. But it has made
the mistake OF allowing unlimited ac-
cumulatiou OF property. and as long
as that fact remains the basic care and
force of government the emancipation
Of The masses is impossible.

THERE is nothing more noticeable
in the decisions OF the courts than the
diversity of them on the subject Of
liquor laws and licenses. Whether
this diversity is because wines and
liquors are regarded by some persons
as outside OF the pale of the law. or
whether judges are swayed by their
feelings or preiudices, it is impossible
to discover; but that there is neither
Judgment nor consistency in the de-
cisions is manifest. The cast OF die

IT has been the fashion to separate
hand-work from head-work, as if the

laborers and mechanics, the other for
professional and literary people; one
for the poor. the other for the rich.

their harmonious union is the only

The preparations for a royal hunt
are eXteD sive and costly, all the ex-
pense being borne by the emperor.
The average cost OF two days shooting
is fifteen thousand dollars. Numbers
of foresters come from afar to assist
In the work, bringing loads OF nets,
rags Bnd tolls necessary to surround
the drives and fodder for the game.
The imperial household comes with its
retinue of servants, kitchen officers,
carriages and horses, and all the par
aphernalia needed to transform the SOL
itary bastile into pleasant abode for
several days.
Letzlingen is a village situated in
one of the large forests in the PRO

The forest contains about fifteen
thousand hectares Of fir trees, beech
covers and old oaks. In this large ex-
panse game abounds, and is carefully
kept and preserved in winter, when
the snow lies deep on the ground

the sixthteen century, and is surround
ed by moat. 1t was rebuilt and reno
waited some twenty years ago by En-
peror Wilhelm l., and can accommo-
date forty or fifty guests for the night
Over one hundred can sit down TO
dinner in the great hall. A bridge
leads over the moat into the yard be-
fore the castle, and the entrance opens
on the large dining-hall, which Is beau
tifully decorated with stays and wild

The emperor arrives in the evening
with his guests by special train from
Berlin. Supper is served early. Be-
fore the company retires ''Kaiser
punch" is served, according to the
old custom.
Early on the following morning the
trained band of foresters sound the re-
veille on their bugles to awake the
guests. Punctually at eight o'clock
breakfast is served in the hall. Then
the carriages come TO the door and
the gentlemen enter, each acc ompa-
MED by his private gamekeeper, who
carries the reserve guns. and loads
them during the drives. Each sports
man gets number designating his
carriage and his place in the drive.

An Easy Way to Find the pi.t,nce,.

Several veteran railroad men were
seated in the smoking com partment OF
a Pullman car the other day. The
train was due in Detroit about two
hours later. A discussion arose as to
the rate OF speed that they we travel
ing at. One OF the party guessed that
the train was going over 4S miles an
hour. Another estimated the speed at
45 miles, another ut 80 aud so on.
Finally one OF the men took out his
watch, held it in his hand less than
half a minute looking at it steadily all
the while.
1--WE are going 46l miles an hour"
he said, looking up from his watch.
One Of the other men thereupon took
out his watch. held it in the palm of
his hand, and kept his eyes rivited up
on the dial, never once looking out of
the window. After the lapse of half a
minute he looked up and said that they
were travelling ut the rate OF forty
seven miles an hour.
''How can you tell the rate OF speed
by simply looking at your watchP' in-
CURED an interested witness OF these
proceedings.
"Why. easy enough" replied the
railroad man. "You know every time
the car passes over a rail joint there is
n distinct CLICK. just count the nu m
Der OF these clicks in twenty secon ds

EMPEROR WILLIAM II. AND THE STAG.
The second day is devoted principal
ly to the shooting of wild boars. which
are also driven up in the same style as
the deer. 1t frequently happens that
the boars get enraged during the
drives and attack dogs and even forest
ers; therefore great attention and pru-
dence is observed. The result of the
second day is, on an average, four
hundred to five hundred head of boar
and one hundred or SO OF fallow deer.
These numbers show how large the
stock of game is in the royal German
forest. The care that is taken OF them
Is OF course great, and after these days
of official slaughter perfect rest aud
solitude again reigns in their green
and leafy retreats.

this instant the hunting-toils OF the
| first game-room fall, and its inmates
rush through the so-called ''long run"
where the emperor stands into the
thicket behind. There the gamekeep-
ers with the dogs await them and
drive them towards the nets and past
the guests who lie hidden in waiting.
To each ''gamo-room" are from one
hundred and twenty to one hundred
and fifty stays and deer.
Ten minutes later the second game
room Is opened. and SO on till all the
game has been freed. The drive
usually occupies two or three hours
and it ends ut n bugle signal.
After the first drive the company as
sembles in q large tent whore luncheon
is waiting. AT an open bonfire in front
of it the hot dishes are cooked. Pota-
toes roasted in the ashes are favorite
delicacy; so, also, is Irish stew and hot
sausages with beans and sauerkraut.
All kinds Of wine are abundantly pro-
vided, but hot drinks are preferred,
especially ''negus."
During luncheon the game that has
been killed is collected and loaded on
carts.
The animals that have fallen TO the
emperor's gun are laid out for inspec-
tion and viewed by the company. The
young kaiser is "a very firm shot, al
though obliged to hold his gun only
with the right hand. The weakness of
his left arm has forced him to train
himself TO hold the gun or rifle like u
pistol, and his aim is very steady and
sure. The strength in his right arm
has wonderfully augmented by contin-
ual training, and he can bear the great
est fatigue without feeling it.
Soon the carriages again come up TO
take the company to the meeting for
the second drive, which is organized
exactly in the same manner as the first.
After there turn to the castle dinner is
ordered for five o'clock, and the gentle
men appear in evening dress with black
neckties.
After dinner the company iescends
into the courtyard, which is illumi-
mated with Bengal lights. Here the
whole ''strecke"-the result OF the
chase-is laid for view in rows and
divided according to the names OF the
sportsmen TO whose guns it fell. The
animals shot by the Emperor arc plac-
ed in the first row and after them fol-
low those OF the royal and other
guests. The bugles OF the foresters
sound "Hallalli" and this picturesque
romantic sight ends the day. The
game killed on the first day regularly
averages from six hundred head Of
red and fallow deer.
The evening is spent by the company
in the sitting and billiard-rooms, where
whist-tables are also set The emperor
joins in these games with spirit / re-
member wildly one such evening some
years ago, when the late Emperor
Wilhelm |. merrily joined in game

WHY Two Ears Are Necnssnr,.

Sound travels by waves radinting
from central point of disturbance.
Just as waves radiate when stone Is
dropped into still water. So far as the
hearing of each individual is concern
ed these waves move in direct line
from the cause of the sound TO his ear,
the impact being greatest in the ear
that Is nearest the source. This being
the case u person who has totally lost
the sense OF hearing in one ear. al
though he may imagine that the defect
is of but little consequence, can not
locate the direction of sound to save
his life, even when the center OF dis
turbance is quite close to him. Blind
persons learn TO estimate distances in
a surprisingly brief period after los
ing their sight, but experts on dis
eases of the ear say that persons who'll
ly deaf In one ear can never learn 10
