ROYALTY in DEeT.
Tho Financial Troubles or Two Crow
Princes OF Germany.

Tho Financial Troubles or Two Grown
Princes OF Germany.
An interesting book has Just been
seized by the Berlin police. 1t describes
the financial troubles of the late Em.
peror Frederick and his son, the pres
ent German monarch. According to tho
Berlin correspondent of the New York
Sun FrcdcriclS's income, while crown
prince, was not sufficient for his charit-
able impulses. His father, the late
Emperor William, refused to make him
the allowance his necessities required,
and every year his difficulties increased.
In time he became involved in n net
work of debt, and he was compelled to
resort to the usurers for relief. He was
Obliged, it is said, sometimes to pay fif-
ty per cent.
In 1889 he was, it seemed, so incXtric-
ably embarrassed that he proposed-as
he did several times subscqucntly-to
renounce his right of succession. When
he assembled the throne his total indeb bit.
edness fell little short of fifteen million
marks Frederick, says the Suns cor
respondent, never recovered from the
fortunes of mind and body to which his
financial trouble subjected him. They
weakened his constitution, the author
says, and rendered him less able to re-
sist the development of the cancerous
disease Of which he died. He was the
victim of his own goodness. the author
asserts. His unsclfishncss was so clear
to his contemporaries that once rich
philanthropist was moved to put ut
Frederick's disposal his whole fortune
on condition that no titular honor
should be conferred in return. Frcder-
icl, however, refused the offer. After
ascending the throne Frcdcrick's first
care was the discharge of all his OBJ
legations. The most interesting part of
this remarkable book and probably the
one which caused the prompt seizure of
it at the governments instance, con-
Germs Emperor William II. The author
says that the reigning Iohenzollcrn
also was involved in great financial diff
ficulties in his last years before ascend
ing to the throne. His embarrassment
was caused by his fathers thrift and by
his own eXtravagant habits. Bcichroder,
of Berlin, heard of his trouble and vol
unteered to advance money to him. This
offer was sharply declined without
thanks by Prince William, who consid-
cred the great bankers proposal piece
of impudence. lie, too, settled his
debts us soon as he became emperor.

An Ago Detective.

The latest fad has taken firm hold
upon the girls Of Philadelphia, says the
Record. The idea seems absurd, but
there are many who have firm faith in
the efficacy OF the test. If you would
like to try it, pull hair out OF girls
head and tie on the end of it n gold ring
of the engagement variety. Fill n glass
partly full of water, and over it, just
inside tho glass, suspend the ring. just
as sure as shooting, according to the
convinced faddist, the ring will swing
against the side of the glass and clinl1
out the number of years contained in
the age of the person from whose head
the hair is taken. It is said to be equal

dumb animals as well as human beings.

BIRD AND BURGLAR.
n Parrot Saves Its Owners House from
Midnight NIarnudcr.

Midnight Marnudcr.
Cincinnati parrot deserves remcm-
brance. 1t has been with the same
family for many years, according to
the Enquirer, and is highly educated
and great pet. Its cage is usually hung
at night in the rear room on the second
floor. a window of the apartment over
looks grape arbor, close against the
wall of the dwelling.
About five o'clock the other morning
Mr.. Rothe, the birds owner, was
awakened by the parrot, which was
loudly shriclsing: Papa! papa" 1t
kept up these cries for several minutes,
until Mr.. Rothe, becoming alarmed by
the unusual disturbance, determined to
go and see what was the cause. When
he turned on the light he saw Poll sit
ting on the crossbar of the cage. The
bird Immediately recognized him and
set up victorious ''ha! hal"
Poll looked like his famous prcdeces-
sor who had the exciting adventure
with the monkey. One wing was
broken and the bottom. of the cage was
covered with feathers. The bird was
ruffled up generally, and in facthad the
appearance of having passed through
threshing machine.
There were blood marks on the wires
of the cage, and everything indicated
that Poll had engaged in a lively and
desperate fight.
On looking around Mr. Rothc found
that the window was open. On the sill
were the bloody prints of mans fin
gers. a burglar had made an early
morning visit to the residence, entering
the room through the window. His
movement must have awakened Poll
The bird evidently gave the alarm.
and the intruder, realizing that some
thing had to be done quickly a. once
thrust his hand into the cage and tried
to wiring the birds neck. Instead of
quietly submitting Poll showed fight.
With beak and claws the parrot at
tackled the robbcr, sinking the sharp
weapons into the flesh of the intrnder's
hand So vigorously did Poll fight and
scream that the burglar was forced to
retire, bafilcd and bleeding from painful
wounds. lie must have dropped from
the window just as help reached the
door, as Mr.. Rothc heard the noise of
fall as he entered.
