real state of things, in which he is doubly
interested, because one Of his sisters is
married to the future king of the Hell

given in the Book Of Anecdotes.

his majesty's emmisary, "the people of

trying to satisfy their curiosity as to how

his pocket, still hundreds of thousands
are lost nightly at the gaming tables, in
the clubs. in the salons in the hotels and
restaurants"
Another extract reads; "To-day the
municipal authorities Of Athens an
nounced that the public clocks, worked
by electricity, will como to a standstill at
midnight, because the city is already too
much in debt to the company. For the
same reason only half the city lamps
will be lighted at night"
THE RED PRINCE AND THE FELIAHs.
When the late Prince Frederick Charles
visited Cairo, some ten years ago, he was
told by a native officer that he did very
wrong in giving aims to beggars in the
street "The fellow to whom you threw
; francs to-day insulted your royal high
ness in the grossest manner, he said.
I'm what way" inquired the prince.
'Why, he called you one of the dirtiest
names the Arab tongue knows Of" said
the Egyptian.
The prince had the words spelled out to
him, and the next day before going for
walk slipped heavy riding whip up his
sleeve Pretty soon number of feliahs
surrounded the stranger, praying at the
TOP of their voice that the distinguished
foreign 'son of gun" bless them with
penny No sooner had the prince heard
the obnoxious term than he grabbed one
OF the offenders and whipped him until
his arm was tired. His promptness and
dispatch in delivering castigation OBJ

THE CARS REPUBLICAN IDEA.
Baron Korff contributes the following
report of a conversation between the car
of Russia and a French senator Of his &C
quainJance:
"Despotism, " said the emperor, still
exists in Russia, since it is the essence of
my government. But it is in harmony
with the genius of the nation. | under

fall back TO China than ever to adopt it. -
Sire, - observed the senator, II have
always regarded representative govern
ment as an inevitable compromise IN Ger
tain states OF society at certain epochs
Instead of solving any difficulty, however,
it merely adjoUrns it. 1t is a truce signed
between democracy and monarchy, under
the auspices of two tyrants, i ear and In
terest. 1t is prolonged by the pride of
loquacity and popular vanity. 1t is the
aristocracY of speech, substituted for that
of truth; it is the government of advo-

"You speak the truth, sir. rejoined
the emperor. MY grandfather fthe Car
Nicholas was a representative sovereign
in Poland, and the world knows what
it cost him to subject himself TO the ext
gencies of that infamous system of gov
erument to buy votes, corrupt con-
sciences, seduce the one in order to de-
ceive the other. All such means l would

system is done with ! shall never be a

THE SHAH AND THE RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT.
When his majesty, the shah, who is
now preparing to make once more our
acquaintance, embarked on the Caspian
sea on his first European tour he was
much astonished to observe that the
waves refused to follow his supreme com
mand and actually kept up very annoy
ing commotion, which set the vessel roll
ing. His shahship fed the fish quite lib
orally, and when he observed that Prince
! MentsChikow, who had been sent ahead
by the car TO receive him, was as sound
and happy as ever he remarked that he

person and that if any of his own serv-
ants behaved as Mentschikow, that is,

master was down on his back, he, the

shah, would make him a head shorter.
WILLIAM AND HIS HALF POUND OF FISH.
The kaiser is very fond of carp. a delic-
ious fish, which in Berlin is served in beer
sauce, One evening last winter, when
he was supping with few male friends
in private, he ordered that a second plate
of fish should be served him. The KAN
meriaeger stayed away for quite awhile,
only to re urn with long face and empty
hands.
1.-The cook is EXTREMITY sorry, your mai
esty," said the waiter, but the carp is
all gone"
How is that, herr minister of the
royal house, " somewhat sharply replied
the kaiser of that gentleman, who was at
the table, do you buy so sparingly of
this delicious fish,"
lit is nat that l assure your majesty,
said the minister.
"Please send down for to-days fish
bill, ordered the kaiser
The bill was brought in and showed
that on that Particular dav 1856 pounds
of carp had been bought for the royal
kitchens.
THAT is quite liberal allowance"
said the kaiser, but when you buy this
fish in the future please buy a half a
pound extra for myself, so ! am not COM
PEELED to so hungry"
DOL, NAPOLEON AND THE HAIR DRESSER.
Zola's book on the Franco -Prussian war
revived the story that Napoleon III at
Sedan rouged and powdered in order to
make a brave appearance before his
troops Appropos a this the book of an
ecdotes contains a clipping from a Paris
paper containing the statement of the
late eihperor's hair dresser setting forth
that his majesty spent less than 100 francs
upon cosmetics and perfumery per year,
and that he never had rouge on his dress
ing table.
From this it may be inferred that the
Prussian court is not disposed to look
upon the late Naroieon as coward,
though many E'ren hmen are ready to be-
smirch his memory.
THE KAIsEB AS A LATIN SCHOLAR.
During his last visit to Rome Emperor
William gave audience TO Signor Staritt,
ad ocate for German artist living in
Rome who had deserted from the Kai-
ser's army in order to continue his stud
les, and was therefore sentenced TO sew
eral years imprisOument, which sentence
was TO 90 into effect as soon as the Grim
inal entered German territory. The
lawyer addressed the Kaiser in Latin,
and entered upon a long speech. in which
he reminded William that the old Roman
emperors never refused a favor TO for
eigners He went on in that way for
some time, quoting history by the yard
and promising 10 enter upona discussion
Of his clients case at the end of an hour,
an announcement which did not seem to
strike the Kaiser al all favorably How
ever, he stood it for awhile, but finally
threw up his hands and in half dignitied
half amused tones, "Providcbitur
A week or so later Signor Stariti re-
ceived a dispatch from Berlin stating,
and in very eooi Italian, too, that His
Majesty has been pleased to pardon his
client, the deserter.

snugly. Taking aim at his game, he
moves his right arm swiftly forward, pro.
polling the spear with lightning speed.
and invariably with unerring aim at the
mark. Instances have been recorded
where hunter brought down his game
at fifty yards, and one or two Alaska
story tellers, who have no fear of being
discredited by the rising generation, saw
that animals have been slain at 100
distance. But all agreed that the average
Eskimo is marksman who never fails
20 hit his mark, and who, when so dis
posed, always provides plenty for his
family with his primitive weapons.
Sometimes TO this spear Is attached a
rope OF leather, one end of which is Sc
curely fastened to the hunters arms, SO
that he may keep hold Of his game. But
this is only done on short-distanced
shots.
A weapon used in hunting birds is A
tripod-shaped spear. This Is thrown in
the same manner as the poisoned spear.
The hunter sneaks within distance of his
coyey Of ptarInigan or other birds, and
lets fly his weapon. IF he be lucky, three
birds are the reward of his skill il not,
one or two. The inspectors have weapons
OF the above kinds OF several sizes, but all
used for the same purpose.
Among the other articles are belt and
par OF legglngs hnely ornamented with
beads, made and worn by the Eskimos,
and which they sell to curio seekers for
SIS; also, water bag, made of sealskin,
larat, and several varieties of the we'll
known harpoon.
Next to the weapons, the skull of
Palouse Indian woman commands atten-
ton, for several reasons. The principal
one is because her skull is shaped wholly
unlike that of the common Palouse, and
it is thought that she was person of
high geographically a princess or at
least a woman of high birth From the
earliest time in the recollection of the
Oldest inhabitant-who is still in exist
ence-the Palouse Indians have continued
the habit Of their forefaJhers of hatten-
ing the rear part of the Uranium of their
female children Of low birth. This was
done 50 that they might be distinguished
from the high-born natives. This woman
had full back head, but a low and re
treating forehead.

From the New York Press.
Berlin, Feb. l5.-There is one room in
tho ancient castle on the banks of the
Spree into which very few of the Kaiser's
numerous guests ever penetrate-the
Smoking Dcn-a large, vaulted chamber
situated ON the corridor leading to the So
called "Iolish Chambers" that is, the
apartments set aside for the use of the
Alngof SaXonv. When the castle was be-
ing renovated during the last two or three
years all the old German furniture and
Drlc-a-brac were stored in the room, and
on an occasional tour Of inspection the
Kaiser observed that it would make a
very coy parlor for his own use. So he
gave orders to thoroughly Renovate it,
without interfering with its ancient and
curious character, furnish it throughout
with all the heirlooms that could be mus
tered into service, and in short, make it
as quaint and outlandish to look upon as
possible
The Smoking Den-as his majesty af-
lerWard dubbed the room-is not very
lofty, though its arched ceiling has a
lendlency to make it appear so. The
"".la are covered entirely by brown
EalnscoJing and decorated by old porce-

pings in the scrapbook from English,
French American and Russian sources,
one referring to an incident of the Kaiser's
love making is especially interesting, and
and the fact that it has been preserved
seems TO indicate that, if it be not true,
Ills majesty at least thinks it well in
vented
The anecdote tells of Prince Williams
first visit to SclOss Primkenau, the couu-
try seat of the eX-Duke of Schleswig-
HOlstein, father of the empress. William
had been hunting during the. early
morning hours and returned unattended
to the castle toward noon,
when he saw in a hammock a very
pretty young woman, who was fast asleep.
He went near and picked up the book
that had fallen from her hand. 1t was
book of fairy tales, and told of the
princess who lay asleep in an old castle
for many, many years, until a prince
came to awake her by kiss. William,
saws the French chrOniCler, was very
much inclined to impersonate the royal
highness of the legend, but as he stood
there lost in thought, a maid servant APP
peared to announce to the duke daughter
that it was time to make her toilet for
luncheon. An hour later Prince William
and Princess Victoria met again and were
introduced to each other. I'VE are not
entire strangers, said Prince William,
y am happy to say, 1 saw you in the
park, and ! am glad to know that you are
devoted to our beautiful fairy tale litera-
ture.n
EMPEROR WILLIAM IN PARIS.
Those who remember the incidents at
tending the visit of the Empress Freder-
lex to Paris some two years ago, which
came very near provoking war will be as
tonished to learn that Emperor William
l. Oppa antara3 tho ('bauyinig a ic
lions den.
According to the scrapbook, the then
Prince William went to Paris in the fall
of 1873, ira Yelling, of course, incog. He
STAYED two weeks, and the TrOcaderO
seems to have struck him as the most
noteworthy institution. He spent days
upon DAYS viewing its various exhibitions.
There was not museum in Paris, and in
deed not historical spot, which he did
not visit and study. Two days he spent
at Versailles. He also admired the
Louvre and the LuXem bourg, exhibiting,
however, little interest in the modern
eatures of the museums and the town
generally. The future Emperor Of Ger
many lived at the Hotel Mira beau and
was attended only by valet. He had
very little money to spend, and the scrap
hook registers that in consequence he had
to forego the pleasure of buying good
many things, whi, h he desired TO acquire
for his own collections.
The DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.
That the notorious Duke of Brunswick,
now deceased was not a favorite at the
Prussiau court is shown by a good many
anecdotes related of him, among them one
which Signor Crispi told the emperor
several years ago.
Crispi. when an exile in London, became
acquainted with the dukes secretary, a
German named Bamberger, who was him
self driven from the fatherland by the
outcome of the revolution of l64S. BAN
berger was smart man, a good llngulst,
and the duke liked him very much, pay
ing him. however, a miserable pittance Of
a salary. Crispi made the acquaintance
