Poor Prince Bismarck has no peace of
his life. The German interviewer has
succeeded in getting into the very pri-
vacy of his bedroom at Friedrichsruh.
1t is true that the great statesman was
out at the time. but the intruder made
the most of his opportunity. A minute
description of the furniture and the
clothes to be seen in the room is pub
lished in a Munich paper. One thing
that particularly struck the interviewer
was a weighing machine, in which the
prince weighs himself in his nightshirt
every morning on getting out of bed.
Beside it is a register in which he re-
cords his weight day by day. 1t seems
that he Is very much averse to getting
fat. and that by dieting himself he has
succeeded in bringing down his weight
considerably Of late years. In 1879 he
weighed 242 pounds, German. but his
latest recorded weight is only 202
pounds. News.

IN THE WHEELING WORLD.

Moscow has the best bicycle track in Eu
rope. 1t is one of the most modern things
about the old Russian capital, and is situated
on the plains of kodinsky, where the recent
catastrophe occurred. The track is 600 me-
ters, less thanthree laps tothe mile, all OF ce-
ment, with steep banking at the curves, and
has a system OF electric timing, which " orks
very successfully. There are more than
$500 cyclists in the city, and ten large
clubs. The development of cycling in Rus
sia is wonderful, considering that the roads
are rutty and stony for the most part, and
frequently covered with miserable pave
ment. But, then, no pen can describe nor
imagination conceive the ennui of the mid
die classes in Russia, so that anything to
-elieve this killing boredom of everyday
existence is gladly welcomed.

nee. Managers Thomas II Davis and Will
liam 7. Keogh's presentation of this thrill
ing drama this year Is in keeping with
their usual method of management, spar
ing no expense to make their names a
voucher for the best.
The scenes are laid where life has more
color and picturesqueness than it has in
any other section Of this country. II is
said that each act is crowded with Incl
dents that are not only characteristic Of
Southern life, but are very interesting in
themselves. The aim of the autEor has
been to present such a series of pictures of
Southern life as would keep spectators IN
a constant state of excitement. Some CT
the most important scenes are placed IN
New Orleans in the time of the Maf,li Gras
carnival, when certain leading perSonages
of the play, in order to serve purposes they
have in view, assume masks and costumes.
This background of gayety adds effect to
the more serious side of the performance.
Singing, dancing and negro fun are given
in true down South style by the twenty
five darkies included in the cast Of this
immense show, and who constitute Il picka-
ninny band.

Acrobatic work is usually conventional,
but now and then there appear gyrnnasts
with skill so unique and spirit so daring
as to create class by themselves. Such
are the Flying Jordans, who make their
appearance in this city at the Academy of
Music New Years week They constitute
family. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Jordan
there is young girl OF sixteen, who does
the triple somerSault act; . boy year or
two younger; little girl of eight, who is
already finished acrobat, and a tiny tot
of three, who is already in training, and
hopes to become an acrobat.
From the baby Josie up they are probably
the most remarkable family, In point of
muscular development, that has ever been
known. The women are exceedingly sym
rnetrcal and graceful in figure, but they
can give an exhibition of big punches Of
muscle which shows where the necessary
strength comes from for the performance
Of their marvellous feats.
Mr.. Lewis Jordan, the head of the FAM
lily, gives little indication in appearance
of the great strength he must possess in
order to accomplish the various acrobatic
feats in conjunction with his family. He
is about five feet ten inches in height, and
necessarily has an exceedingly wiry frame
and muscles like steel. Combined with
his strength he has rare athletic grace
and agility. This acrobatic troupe is
surrounded by a fine array of vaudeville
artists, and among the newcomers VIII
be found John j. Burke and Grace For
