school which Bismarck as youth Wis
tied for two years from 1880 to 1882.
From the records of this school
everything has been extracted and put
together in this neat volume which
bears on young Bismarck's stay,
studies, progress and character as
shown there In its totally this slim
aggregation of leaflets and she sheets
of paper forms one of the most valu-
able additions to the knowledge of that
part of Bismarck's life which has hith-
erto been least known. One fact in
particular struck me in this connection
the homogeneity of character, gifts,
likes and disliles in the youthful
scholar as compared with the states
man of later on. The boy here, in
truth, was father to the man. Com
pare, for instance, the specimens of
handwritings, reproduced herewith in
fac-simile, of the youth of fifteen, six
teen and seventeen with that of the octo-
genarian of to-day. In all essential re-
ispects the writing has remained the
same, showing the man, no matter how
many-sided, of one mold.
The first note referring to the new
pupil we find dated May 4, $780, he
having completed his fifteenth year on
April 1. Name, parentage, religion,
etc, are stated, as well as the reason
of his change of school-that being be-
cause he came to board with pxpfes-
SCR of this particular school. He is,
that first year, taught Virgil, Latin
grammar, mathematics, French, Ger
man, history. His best friend in the
class was Heinrich Won Blankenburg.
The first quarterly report on him (July
l. 1890 is as follows: Department

GREETED that on one occasion he evinced
a total lack of modesty; must show

At Michaelmas October y the reports
are but slightly better, and a special
mote mentions the fact that among
eighteen in his class he was fifteenth,
due to a somewhat protracted absence
from school that quarter. Neverthe-
less, he was transferred to "prima,"
the highest class. At Easter, 1881, he

otheIs, it is important, whether at

The duchess of York has not been
seen often in public recently, and those
circulating the report regarding the
prince say that her recluseness is due
to her grief. This. however, is bare
superstition.
AS yet no effort has been made to
correct the story of the princes in
trinity, although the current gossip
must have reached the ears of his
highness' parents and grandparents.

The typewriter has made great in
roads upon the business of ink makers
and they have been obliged to go into
gift enterprises to retain trade. One Of
these concerns displays an imposing

though why one should need inkstands
when they do not need ink is not very

in that office. His first vote was cast for
James Monroe, and he has voted for
every president since then. Mr.. John

health. Sixty descendants assembled on
Aug. l6 in his honor His wife is 81
years OF age, and they have been mar
ried sixty-four years. Mr.. Johnson

Eliza A. Perry of Rome, who was born
in 1909. There are five children living
and the grandchildren are twenty-five
in number, and the greatgrandchil-
dren are twenty-five, the eldest being

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Wal.
Ter has not yet had an interview with
the secretary of state, because of the
absence OF her papers. these arrived
yesterday aud she will 90 before the
secretary of state with them, in COM
pany with her attorney, as soon as
she can classify the documents. The
presentation which she will make is
Intended to establish the presumption
of innocence to establish the presump-
ton of innocence ON the part OF her
husband. She will exhibit among
other documents all the letters written
to her by Mr.. Waller after his arrival
in Tamatave, previous TO those to the
Hovas, ON the strength of which he
was arrested, and she will show that
Mr. Waller, instead OF attempting to
inform the IIovas of the movements
of the French through the CORE
spondence with his wife, refrained
from all reference to such questions
except TO caution her against any act
which could be constructed as partial
to the natives. An affidavit from the
Hovas leaders, for whom Waller was
to purchase four pistols in London, to
which reference was made in seques-
tered letters, will also be presented.
The arrangement for this purchase,
it is asserted, was made long before
the trouble between the French and
the Hovas arose, and Mr.. Waller was
requested to purchase these pistols
for the lad, his father and two Other
relatives simply because they could bt

AMERICAN ruRouoIsEs.


one Gem which Ages Ago Was Mined
by the Aztee~
Although the United States cannot
claim to be considered one of the
sreat gem-producing countries of the
world, almost every known variety of
precious stone has been found within its
limits Few gems, however, are COM
mon enough to be of decided CONNER
clal Importance and systematic mining
is rarely carried on The only exception
to this is afforded by the turquoise The
last edition to the Mineral Resources
Of the United States, gives the value of
the rough gems of all kinds produced
here during 1893, as amounting to SEGA
oil of which Sl43,136 goes to the credit
OF the turquoise mines.
Almost all of the American turquoise
come from Santa Fe County, New Mex
leo. or Mohave county, Arizona.
As in Persia, the turquoise, both in
New Mexico and Arizona, occurs in
veins permeating volcanic rocks, a yell
lowish brown trachyte being the COM
monost matrix. The Pueblo Indians
find them an easy way of making
money, as they can be obtained with lit
tie trouble, and, after being subjected
30 rough grinding, can be readily sold
to travellers. Formerly when the In
dian was more unsophisticated, choice
stones could be obtained from them at
the outlay Of few cents, but of late
gears the sellers have begun to realize
the value of their goods. and now few
real bargains can be secured.
The ancient inhabitants Of Mexico
mined the turquoise extensively, and
the invading Spaniards found it large
ly used to incrust human skulls, and
also to inlay mosaics and to decorate
obsidian ornaments, Traces of the old
mines can be found to this day, and
rubbish heaps are common in the tur-
quoise district. In the Arizona mines
they tell how, on a tunnel being run
through turquoise deposit, the miners
came across the remains of more
ancient tunnel, its top and sides rent
and caved in as II by an earthquake,
while in a small space, three or four
feet each way, was the skeleton of the
unfortunate Aztec, who had been i'm
hrisoned there by the falling in of the
roof In one hand the skeleton still
clutched the handle of his old mino
hammer, and at his side was a leather
bag containing, as the discoveries
found, several choice stones. 1t only
shows that in the old days men would
take as big risks in search of treasure
as they will now,
Another tale of turquoise drifts up
from Yucatan 1t tells of an idol in an
ancient temple around whose neck,
arms and ankles are hung strings of
magnificent turquoises, while each of
its eyes is a SINCE large stone, The
narrator a Mexican minor. claimed
that these eye stones were about three
inches in their largest diameter There
is something in this story irresistibly
suggestive of Rider Haggard's idols.

NEW York, Oct 2S.-The Herald
published statement yesterday morn
ing that the second class battleship
Maine, which is to 60 to sea to-day,
draws three feet less water aft than
forward and she has bad list to
starboard, her right being sunken.
A naval expert looked at the ship in
Brooklyn thus sums up her defects:
"lhe facts are that the Maine draws
three feet more forward than she does
aft; that she lays over to starboard
considerably; that being now ready
for sea, having taken aboard her full
coal supply OF 800 tons and her COM
plete outfit, stores and ammunition, she
should float symmetrically if she was
properly designed, and that her de-
tective flotation lines must be due to
radical and permanent causes and not
to a mere temporary misplacing of
her weights" The officers of the
ship are reported to be reticent con-
corning these alleged faults, and it is
not known who is responsible for
them, although they may be due
merely to careless loading. In all
other respects tee ship is said to be
n model, aud her machinery, which
was given dock trial Saturday, works
perfectly.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 25-Interstate
Commissioner Martin A. Knapp has
written letter to Senator Chandler
of New Hampshire in reply to the
latters criticism OF him in connection
with the new trunk line agreement
Mr.. Knapp says his published state
ments should not be attributed to the
commission, reiterGtes his assertion
that the detection and punishment of
crime created by the interstate COM
merce statute is only all incident to
the scheme and aim of the regulation,
a feature with which the commissions
has no power to deal. He adds that
the courts seem to have reached Il
conclusion different from the view
taken by Senator Chandler that
the alleged agreement that the
trunk lines are about to enter into
illegal and criminal under either the
anti-pooling or antitrust laws.
