The Bismarck monument, erected to his

en-, was recently unveiled at the Rudels-
burg, and is doubtless one Of the most
striking monuments of recent times Bis

well thrown back, the right leg carelessly
thrown across the other, the naked sword
in his right hand, he sits there, regardless
of what may come.

cousin of Prince Bismarck, Baron Won
Kessel, who was with him at Goettingen

When shown the first model of the
work Prince Bismarck was not quite
satisfied. claiming that his cousin had
drawn too much of puff to his lips
The Prince stated at that time that his
neither lip was always stronger than the
upper. one. A strong upper lip signified
imperlousness, while he had always pre-
ders to others. A strong neither lp, how
ever. stands for energy and tenacity.
and. as he says himself, he was always
somewhat energetic. Some changes were
made according to these hints Of Prince
Bismarck, and the model. before being
executed, was fully indorsed by him. saws
