LONDON, nec. 3O-From inquiries
emanating from the German embassy
relative to the sailing Of the ship Teu-
tonic, and from reports that have come
from Berlin, there is reason to believe
that the German k" ser intends visit
incognito to the United States. Last
summer, when the kaiser was going to
Heligoland in the steamship Fuerst
Bismarck, along with the empress, he
made a remark indicating that an
American journey was in his mind. 1t
is said that his desire to see the Amerl-
can people for himself has grown
stronger since, and that he will take
an early opportunity to crafty him.
self.
The only tangible foundation here
for the report appears to be the inquiry
emanating from the embassy, both as
to dates and sailing and accommoda-
tions on board. 1t is expected that the
kaiser would travel by one of his minor
titles, probably as the Count of Ravens

The steamship Teutonic will leave

A Young Girls Room,

"A young girls room may be as full of
costly articles as wealth can make it, or it
may be the result of taste and ingenuity
with but triling expense. but the one who
looks in upon it can, if choosing to take
the pains to do SO, tell at once the charac-
ter of the occupant by the mere arrange
ment OR disarrangement of the place. There
is of course the pretty artistic ensemble
that at first glance seems to be only con-
fusion, but which presently resolves itself
into a harmony of form and tint, ar"
change in which would be discord, which
tells something interesting concerning the
artist in the arranger.
Then there is the precise and prim man
her in which everything is at right angles;
every book is exactly in position ON every
other book; no folderols are allowed; moth
ing that indicates a waste of time or a love
of pleasure, and everything that indicates
m~ethodical, utilitarian and exacting traits.
with little love of beauty, indicates a char
acter that will by and by possibly make
life a burden to every one in the house.
There is the confusion, again, which is
disorder, where everything has been tossed
at random; there is no place for anything
and nothing is in its place, thus telling a
lamentable tale of it's first cause. And then
there is the abode of neatness without ia
natlcal and pragmatical effort for it, of
order without prlmness, of grace and spot
lessness conlbined; a room where a little
OF the artist is to be seen, IL little of the

OF order without its observation-disclosures
