surprise. and the party cheered.
Prince Bismarck made a witty and
a pleasant response, and as he did so
about 90 of the prettiest girls OF Hamburg
went up TO the statue and threw themselves
down on the ground about IT, AS though 1t
were picture OF beauty wOrSniping fame.
Bismarck then walked up TO these ladies and
talked to them, and the two hours which
he spent with the party We're of similar
character. l came to FrieGTichsrUhe IN the
morning, and spent the forenoon wandering
about through the beautiful forests which
make MP great part of the estate. and, at
the suggestion of the Princes private secre-
tary. attended the picnic reception. L had
an opportunity to shake hands with Prince
Bismarck and TO have a short talk with him.
But let me tell you how Prince Bismarck
looks at Il years Of age. He is as big as
any man you have ever seen. and he stands
feet In his stockings. lie is as straight
as the mighty oaks which stand by the tens

OF giant, but he,keeps 1t from fat by care
fui living, ana his weight ranges from 1S6
to 200 pounds The head Of Prince Bis
marck is one of the most striking l have
ever seen, and his face, as l saw it, has a
far d,fferent EXPRESSION from that seen in
his pictures. There seemed to me an en-
tire absence of sternneSS about il, and his
blue eyes were kind and smiling. They
are said 10 flash fire, however. when
Bismarck grows angry. and he can be the
personiiicatiOn of wrath. Prince Bismarek's
head Is fully as large as was that OF Daniel
Webster. 1t Is rather rounder than that
seen in Webster's best portraits. but il
shows more than Webster's strength OF
character The forehead is broad and full,
and the top of the head, as can be seen from
Its badness. is one Of characteristic bumps,

white as snow and the heavy mustache,
which shows prominently out from under
his large and full nose. is Of frosted silver,
with yelowlsh tinge directly under the
nose.
One Of the most striking features OF his
face is his eyebrows. These are very heavy
and they stand out over his full steel blue
eyes like silver bristles. His eyes are
rather fiat and the flesh under them puffs
out slightly, though not SO much as you see
in the face OF Secretary Blaine. His chin
Is long and full and almost double and he
has way of clearing his throat as he talks
and OF moving his head back and forth In
emphasis of his words. He articulates dis
tinctly and his tones are by no means I'M
pleasant He does not. you know, believe
much in oratory and thinks eloquent public
speakers are more of an evil than good. He
once compared orators to dudes. who wear
shoes too small for them and spend their
time IN sticking out their feet to be looked
at His manner of speaking is more like
that of our best after-dinner orators and he
uses the simple conversational style, saying
the most striking things In most striking
way with little Approximation. He talks
In the same tone IN private conversation and
