Gcmun emperor walks about the streets
of his town as fearlessly and naturally
as any other man, although the life of
his grandfather was twice attempted
One day, in November of 1891, lao
was walking with a guest through the
narrow and crowded thoroughfare of a
city not far from Berlin. The side
walks were harrow, and as the emperor
is a fast walker, he frequently had to
step out into the street to pass other pc
destrians, and especially clusters of peo-
pie who stopped for chat.
His companion, who had been in Rus
STA, was struck by the democratic mani
ner in which the German emperor rubbed
hi and out among portcrs, tishwives,
peasants and the rest of the moving
crowd, chatting the while and acting as
though this was his usual manner of
getting about. He was struck still more
by the fact that no precautions against
Il possible inurderous fanatic appeared
to have been taken and ventured to
speak of this, The emperor laughed
heartily, and said, "Oh, if had to stop
to think Of such things | should never

Provisions for n Siege.

The French government, in conjunc-
ton with the Paris municipality. are
considering scheme for the erection of
stores for preserving srm hes of frozen
meat. to be used in case Of another
siege. Paris in time Of war needs go
tons of meat Ii day. at this rate all the
docks of sheep and herds of oxen that
could be brought together at the last
moment Would last bat few weeks,
md it might be impossi ole to feed them.
The stores about to be erected will
contain even in time of peace large sup
plies of meat, and Immediately upon Il
declaration of war will receive 50, COO
tons of beef and mutton. This repre-
sents fifty days full rations, or 100 days
half rations, The forts around Paris
have sufficient food to last three years
No war is likely to last this length of
time. Echo

Ono of the few spots that had not yet
yielded up their mysteries to white ex-
plorers was until ry la ly the region
about Mount RolT, ., This mountain
lies ON the border between Venezuela

it, the more wonderful because the
mountain has been considered inaccessi-

that two or;hid'hmters named Cromer

poured torrents and riyulets.
There was nothing particularly inter-
esting about The mountain, except the
supposed impasi3jli;y of climbing it,
But the road to it is the difficult part.
The exl lorcr follows the Essequibo river
to its tributary. the Mazaruni, then takes
to the M%zuum. But the Essequibo is
almost i'm .s,ESabic by reason of rapids
and watef Is. After leaving the Maza-
RUM the route is through a wild jungle
filled with wonderful birds and animals,
not to speak of hostile savages who take
exceedingly accurate aim with poisoned
arrows. BIZ. not even this constitutes
the real difficulties. The explorer who
thinks of ascending Monnt Roraima is

A gentleman who stood a few mo-
ments at corner where large build

some remarks made by an Irish work
man who evidently fancied himself a
logician of no mean order.
He was q sturdy, good natured look.
ing man, but evidently enjoyed leaning
on his hod and commenting on what
passed around him much better than he
did active work. The cry of "mort-
mort" usually rang out several times
before he needed it.
"Pat," said the foreman severely,
coming upon the man at one of the
when he was "restin Bit"
"why don't you attend to your work
and keep that man going?"
"Shure, now" said Pat, shifting his
feet and turning broad smile upon the
foreman, eff / was to kape him goin he

And Pat marched off with his hod,
leaving the foreman not convinced, hut

exhibition of the workings Of logical
mind.-Youth's Companion.

At the battle of Seven Pines or Fair
Oaks the Fifth New Jersey, in conrec-
ton with the regiments of the Second
brigade and others, ably attested the
universal confidence reposed in them by
their commanders. Senator Wade, al
Bull Run, said, "Give us a brigade of
these Jerseymen and we'll beat the en-
envy STILL"
During the engagement Of June 1 a
Union soldier had his leg shot off by a
ball from the enemy's artillery.
Captain Ramsey ordered one Of his
men IAN Irishman from New Jersey to
assist the wounded man to the rear.
Pat, while giving the necessary assist
ance. asked the man how and where he
had been wounded.

ball during the last attack" was the re-
ply.
On the way to the hospital fragment
of shell took the already badly wounded
mans head entirely off, unnoticed by
Pat, who was carrying his comrade in
his arms.
Upon arriving at the temporary hospi-
tai one Of the surgeons, after looking at
the man, said: "What did you bring
this man here for2"
Sure, Captain Ramsey tould me to-"
said Pat.

completely shattered from his body" re-
piled the doctor.

An amusing incident happened in o
southern city court the other day. A
Jew was on the witness stand testifying
against negro who had stolen pair Of
pantaloons from his store.
"How much are the pants worthY'
asked Judge Thompson.
"Well, judge" responded the witness,
'it depends on the man who wants to
buy them. sell them to one man for six
dollars, to another for five dollars, but
you can have them for four dollars"
'"Sir," responded his honor, in q dis
gusted tone Of voice, 81 want you to tell
me what those pants are worth"
"Ah, judge" said the Israelite, stake
'em for three dollars If four dollars don't
suit you"
"Look here" Numbered the Judge,
'if You don't tell me the exact value Of
those pants l will send you to jail for
contempt of court"
"Well, then, Judge" pleaded the OBJ
fuse witness in most insinuating tone
Of voice, take 'em for two dollars. 1t
is giving them away almost, but you
can have 'em for two dollars"
By this time the people in the court
room were convulsed with laughter,
and the judge himself was obliged to
forget his Disgust and join heartily In
the laugh. He did not buy the ''pants,"
however.--Green Bag.

One morning a gentleman of many
scientific attainments sat quietly and
alone at his breakfast. Presently he
noticed that some large black ants were
making free with the contents Of the
sugar bowl. He drove them away, but
they soon returned, seemingly unwilling
to leave their sweetened feast. Again
they were dispersed, only to return in
increased numbers. There was lamp
hook directly above the center of the
table, and, to try their ingenuity, the
gentleman suspended the sugar bowl to
the hook with cord, allowing It to
swing clear Of the table about an inch.
First the sagacious little creatures
tried to reach it by standing on each
others backs. After repeated efforts,
all Of which were failures, they went
away and it was supposed that they had
given up in despair. Within surpris-
ingly short time, however, they were
seen descending the cord by dozens and
dropping themselves into the sugar
bowl. They had scaled the wall,
traversed the ceiling and discovered an
other road to the treasure.-St. Louis
Republic.

The Chinese of San Francisco shave
nearly every day. A queer little razor

spect like our razor, except in the matter
of the keenness of its edge. It is wee
bit of a blade, nicely curved into semi
circle. With this tool the Chinese bar
Der scrapes the almost hirsuteless face
Of his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck to
the first bone of the spinal column. The
rounded point of the razor is also insert
ed into the Celestial ear, and every am
bilious hair that dsres to show itself in
the aricular lobe is clipped before 1t pro-

know, is scrupulously clearly about his

sidered mark of low birth or of care

Among the peculiaIities of SO called
pure English. nothing is more singular
than the difference between the names
given to footwear. In America a boot
is something which comes nearly up to
the knee, while in England anything
above low cut shoe is invariably de-
scribed as boot. The same popularity
exists In regard to hose. In England
the only two words used are stockings
and socks, the difference being entirely
in the length Of Che leg, and the word
half hose being purely American. In
the trade in this country there are three
charlottesville stocking, sock and
half hose. There is no ribbed top to the
American sock, and there are other
technical differences which are unheard
of in the old country.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

During July the question was CON

would begin 10 pay their taxes; The
Question Remained nnanswerod until
last week when there began to be
some movements amongst some lead

considerable distance towards show

got their tax receipts, but throw no
light on who paid for them OF how

cratic reform members OF the New
Castle County Elections Cominission
under the now election laws, distrl
buted tax receipts to all the Demo
cratic employees OF the mill, asking
for no money In return for them. By
some mistake, owever, Mr.. Doud had
receipt for Mr.. Samuel Kennedy
who Is q strong Republican. Mr.. Ken
lnedy however took the receipt, telling
Mr.. Doud that he was Republican
and not wishing to be under any obli
cations to the Democrats for his re
ceipt, offered 10 pay Mr.. Doud the 81
cents called Ton.
Mfr. Doud finally yielded and took
from Mr.. Kennedy dollar bill, hand
ing him back eight cents In change.
just as Mr.. Doud has been doing FOL
Augustine Mills other Democrats have
been doing for other large Industrial
establishments In Wilmington, and
that lie the way the Democrats are
getting their receipts. II they are
