The present emperor of Germany, Will
liam III, is stern moralist after the Ger
man standard, and in the efforts which he
has been making to break up gaming among
the officers Of the army he has been inexor-
able.
An authentic anecdote which was related
OF him while he was still Prince William,
and before the death Of his grandfather, the
Emperor William /, revealed his inten,
tions In this respect as well az promised to
the Germans future emperor who was
likely to rule as well as govern.
Prince William was at that time colonel
of regiment of hussars. He observed that
some Of the officers of the regiment were
gambling at a certain club, and he ordered
his officers to cease to visit this club.
The officers regarded this command as an
infringement of their personal liberty, and
the president Of the club, Prince R., went,
as representative Of their wishes, to the
emperor and requested him to remove the
Introduction.
The emperor sent for the prince, his
grandson, and told him to revoke the order.
Am | still colonel of the regiment, your
majesty" the prince asked.
Certainly" said the emperor.
Them" said the prince, permit me
either to retain my authority in it or to re-
sign my commission"
No answer could have pleased the old
sovereign better.
"Oh, he said, stick to your orderi
should never find another colonel for the
regiment SO good as this one"
When Prince r. returned to the emperor
to know If the order was to be revoked, the
emperor said quizzically:
1T was no use. tod the colonel to with
draw 1t, but he wouldn't hear to it at all {"

Remember Arbor Day.

Nearly every state in the Union now
celebrates Arbor day. In the southern
section it comes early in April. In the
middle belt the school children turn out
and welcome it with music and parade
the last of April. In the far north, where
the sun does not coax ont the leaves and
flowers till May, 1t is observed in that
beautiful month.
The effects Of the lsbors of those dis
interested advocates Of forest preserva-
ton who inaugurated Arbor day begin
already to be manifest. Instead of be-
ing bare, desolate spot. the yard Of the
country schoolhouse is now in many
cases shaded with fine young trees. The
children have been taught to respect q
tree as if it were living thing. So it is
Along the country roadside, too, "our
brothers of the field" stand in stately
rows and give their refreshing shade to
the traveller on hot day. In some parts
of the country the timber growth is ac-
tually increasing from year to year.
Farmers learn from their experiment
stations what growths are best adapted
to treeless prairies, and without waste of
time and labor in experimenting start
their young forests.
A great work. however, is still before
the forestry society, the school children,
their teachers and the governors of states.

destruction of the few magnificent for

Henry Irving on individuality.

Don't you try to be Daniel Webster.
You be yourself" said Irving, the actor,
In his address to the students of Har-
ward. Cultivate your own power" It
was noble address and pointed out be-
fore all the road by which Irving him.
self had Travelled to fame and fortune.
The world is full of failures today be-
cause men and women have been over
slaughed by Mrs. Grundy, by parents or
husbandsor wives or associates of strong
er will than themselves.
If there is a person for whom we have
great respect, and we reveal to that in
dividual our most cherished plans and
hopes for our future, and he whistles
them down the wind, saying we are fool
ish and impractical and cannot do what
we desire, we shrink back into ourselves
abashed. So have fallen some of the best
and truest aspirations human being
ever cherished. Then, after years of fail
ure in trying to do what we are not
fitted for, after lifetime of endeayoring
to make ourselves over on the other per-
sons pattern, we recognize the fatal mis-
take we made. If we had taken our own
heads for it, had gone on boldly and
steadily and wrought out our own aspi-
rations as they were implanted in us, we
would have been grandly successful in
stead of turning out crippled, stunted,
dwarfed, dissatisfied beings.
1t was to urge them by all means to
develop their own individuality, not to
trim themselves to another's model,
however great, that Irving addressed
the Harvard students. They were to de-
velop their own original powers in all
ways and learn to know themselves.
Then 1t would naturally follow that they
would learn to know others. "For the
purely monkey arts of life there is no
future" said Mr.. Irving. He continued:
There is usually If not always general as
we'll as a special truth or excellence in every
great and spontaneous effort, and the result
which sprang from the power and genius Of
Daniel Webster or Patrick Henry or Abra-
ham Lincoln Is TO bo won by others In greater
or less degree by similar means. But It must
be always borne In mind that merely to initiate
is not to apply similar method. II any one Of
you have great thoughts or burning passion.
you will need to copy no style or to limit your
| self to no method. Your thoughts will find
| their way to tho hearts OF others as surely as
the upland waters burst their way to the sea.
In fine, the greatest of all the lessons that art
can teach is this-that truth is supreme and
eternal. No phase of art can achieve much on
false basis. Sincerity, which is the very
touchstone Of art, is instinctiyely recognized
by all. There never were truer and wiser words
spoken than those OF old Poionius:
ITO thine own self be true,
And 1t must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
But how can man be true to himself If he does
not know himself? Know thyself" was wis
dom Of tho ancients. But how can a man know
himself IL he mistrusts his own identity and IL
he puts aside his special gifts in or1er to rem
der himself an imperfect similitu4e of some
one else?

The Judge was a Fighter.

A Western Judge was listening to an
attorney who had a mean habit of in
terpolating remarks into the proceed
ings Of the court. What he said was
scarcely ever heard by any one, as he
mumbled rather than spoke, and
would never repeat q remark. One
day he said something which nobody
heard except the Judge, who at once
became exceedingly angry. Turning
to the court bailif, he Numbered out:
.sAdiourn this court" Then, as soon
as the bailif had done his duty, the
Judge stepped from the bench, beck
oned to the lawyer to follow him, and
entered the clerks Office. The lawyer
went along. So did two or three other
people. AS soon as the Judge got
fairly into the room, he seized a law
book, and turning upon the lawyer,
he fairly screamed: 9" was on the
bench a while ago and you insulted me.
] was 8 Judge then. / am q man now,
and the man will have an apology for
the Judge, or he will take it out of
your hide. You might make an apology
to the judge, but you would not mean
it. Now, however, the case is more
serious, and unless you give me what
/ ask, I will smash your head" The
lawyer made q most abject apology,
which the judge accepted, and then
the party went back to the courtroom
and resumed business. -Argonaut.

One Oven for q Community.

The oven is q communal institution
in Brittany. In former times the
ovens were owned by the barons, and
the people who were under their pro-
lection paid them for the use Of them.
Subsequently they were owned by the
commune, to whichpayment was made.
They still exist to-day and r in use.
The fuel is furnished by those Of the
commune, and at stated times the oven
is fred, and the bread which has been
prepared by those in the immediate
vicinity is brought to the oven to be

There is enormous waste Of farm
land in England through the hedge

There are 600, 600 acres occupied BY
hedge rows, and since farming has
paid poorly the labor Of keeping these
hedges trimmed has been greatly negl
lected. A hedge with the ground IL

uses up . rod in width. Hedges with
bitches beside them take mp more land
than this. But il costs too much 10

where the rough road turns, and the valley

Smiles bright with its balm and bloom,
Wen forget the thorns that have pierced the
feet
And the nights with their grief and gloom,
And the sky will smile, and the stars will
beam,
And we'll lay us down in the light to dream.
We shall lay US down in the bloom and light
With a prayer and a tear for rest,
As tired children who creep at night
To the love Of a mothers breast.
And for all the grief Of the stormy past,
Rest shall be sweeter at last-at last!
Sweeter because Of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts to the perfect day
With its splendor Of light and song.
The light that shall bless US and kiss us and
love us
And sprinkle the roses Of heaven above us!
