private ersons deserving publicity IN one
way or another.
The same is to be said of the decora-
tons. Every year before the Prussian Or
densfests, lists of candidates for decora-
tons are sent in by the different au-
thorities. This also happens at other
lines
When an official celebrates jubilee or
any other particularly joyful festivity,
IKE the golden wedding or the 10th ana
SOth birthday, the respective authorities
petition the emperor TO distinguish the
person in question. But the civil cabinet
has always the principal part of the WORK
to do IN Tiliing the lists and distributing
the distinctions. For, however slight the
honor or promotion may be that is 70 be
conferred, the civil cabinet, with the help
of the police must make inquiries about
the candidates previous life, as no one
who has failed against the laws can re-
ceive distinction. Only when this is
satisfactorily settled can the candidates
name be put on the list.
The travels OF the emperor in foreign
countries keep the civil cabinet very busy.
1t Is stlli customary with foreign rulers TO
make valuab presents to all persons
coming In contact with them. Emperor
William H., as well known, is very liberal
IN his travels abroad. The court MARSHALL

the civil cabinet furnishes numerous orders

finishing the diplomas later on, which
have to be signed by the emperor.

Large crops selling at good prices will

''secret cabinet of his majesty, the king,
for civil affairs"
A superintendent is placed at the head
of this cabinet, which employs several re-
porting councillors, besides whole row
of privy councillors, registrars. inspectors
and all manner of officials, for it embraces

matters are treated, which are seldom

cares and troubles, with petitions to the
German emperor, who appears to them as
the summit of all power and glory, some
thing like the caliph, Haroun-al-Raschid,
in the fairy tale, and who is, therefore, able,
without trouble. to satisfy all the wishes
of his subjects. The consequence is that
the emperor is overwhelmed with an in
credible number of entreaties and applica-
tons of every description.
First there are the petitions for pardon,
which form an important item in the cabi-
nets work. The emperor, as the head of
the state. has the right to pardon in GER
tain cases, and. as king of Prussia, he can
revoke death sentences and reduce punish
ments. Death sentences, however, neces-
stating the emperor's signature to be put
into execution, belong to the ministry of
justice, while other, non-military, requests
for pardon to the emperor go to the secret
cabinet.

In reply to an article published against
me as being an unfit subject to represent
the coIored BaptistS Of San Antonio, i
deny the claim of having the power to
represent all of the Baptists of the col
ored churches, for if | did, | would be
compelled to affect my representation

been denounced by eleven honorable Bap

fist church, as being morally unfit TO lead
them and their families as a preacher.
Now, if there be such an organization
among the colOred BaptistS, known as a
Deacon's Union, it has only the member

A Mammoth Spring. 2

The largest and most wonderful
spring of fresh water in the world
is on the Gulf coast of
Florida in Rernardo county. The
Wekowechee river, stream large
enough to float a small steamer, is
made entirely of water spouted, from
this gigantic natural we'll, which is
60 feet in diameter and about 20 or so
feet deep. Ch emlsts who have ana
lyZed the water say that there is not
trace of organic matter in its COM
position, and that 1t is the most pure
and fresh of any spring in America.
A dime tossed into the spring can be
seen lying on the bottom as plainly as
it could in aglass of common well
water. The steamer which makes
regular excursion trips up and down
the Wekowechee Is often floated in
to the cavity of the spring, but can.
not be made tn stay in the centre, as
the force of the rising water forces
it to the sides of the basin. the
spring and 1000 acres of land adjoin-
ing belong to two Chicago capitalists,

Eating When Hungry.

Speaking of eatin 2, there is coming
into practice with that portion of So
ciet that goes in largely for country
life the year round, an English GUS
tom which has a great many COM
mendable features about it. This is
to keep the dining table always
spread AID the larder always OPP n.
Under this rule, people eat when
they are hungry. Nobody need be
late for breakfast, because there is no
set hour for that meal. Those who
are in the house are likely to assem-
BILE at the same time. Tom and Dick
and Tilly and Dolly, who have gone
out for q morning walk or ride. may
get back when they choose and still
find food to satisfy their sharpened
appetites.
Dinner is, of course. a meal of a
certain formality, because the diners
are sure to drift back to the house
from their various diversions or en-
Payments about the same time. But
breakfast and luncheon are made
subseTvisnt to the convenience of the
breakfaster or the luncher, so that
the early riser may not have to famish
tor the late riser's sake or the late
riser get up 40 early as to give him.

The only people who so far do not
