One of the KaiSer's latest hobbies is the
construction of yachts and battleships-in
fact. his Imperial Majesty has now got ut
of ships on the brain. He seems to have
tired in his spare moments of playing with
tbe soldiers, which has been his amusement
for years, and now since her Majesty Queen
Victoria created him a full-blown British
admiral he has gone fairly crazy on the sea
ana everything connected with 1t.
His Majesty has workshop fitted up at
the palace at Potsdam, which Is partly a
carpenters shop and partly naval con-
structor's Office. Carpenters benches, lathes,
vises and tools of every description litter
the place, while the walls are hung with
sections OF ships and drawings of men-of-
war and yachts In the various stages of con-
struetion and of all shapes and sizes, some

waters Of the Baltic.
10 word. his Majesty Is trying to emu
late Peter the Great, with the difference
that Peter knew what he was about,
in the dark.
His Majesty's theory is that all ships
hitherto have been wrongly constructed.
Primarily their shape does not please him.
He wants something quite new, and Judg-
ing from the designs OF a model upon which
he is now engaged, he has got it.
This queer looking craft, which he Is now
chselng out of large block OF Baltic pine,
stands upon huge trestles in the middle Of
the shop, and his Majesty takes off his
coat, turns up bis sleeves and goes at Il with
chisel and hammer something after the
manner Of a sculptor handling block of

waved a last farewell to a parting guest

Thinking over this matter ii appears per-

that made their life for days and weeks
previous to the occasion when he first sees

Society women are marvels of untirlng

Tricks With Words.
Lewiston Journal.

Cunning in the use of language To give
false impressions is a Yankee trick eele-
brated in song and story. Many instances
of its use come to light In the testimony
given in courts. An illustration of such
dishonest craftiness is illustrated by a
Maine gentleman. A man came to him
wanting him TO buy a share in a country
lottery in which the principal prize was n
horse. "l'll take one" he ssid, "if you'll
warrant me shall draw the horse" ION
yes" said the seller, glibly, pocketinp the
cash. "1'll want you to get the horse" The

John Edward Sherlock is painter with

good voice and knowing how to use 1t. A
few days before Christmas Sherlock was in

remarked that he wasn'C very big man,

Mr.. Talc0tt took up the bet, provided
Sherlock would eat his meal in the res

Monday afternoon, and Sherlock won so cas-
lily that no one dares challenge him to an
other contest. He ate no supper Sunday
