ROYAL FATHER AND SON.
French Phrase Which Came Very
Pat to Both of Them.

A little story is being told about the
Kaiser, the telephone and Prince Eitel
Fritz. The small Prince, aged about
IA, is, it seems, addicted to violent Ian
guage, not, of course, swear words, but
plain, strong expressions of dislike
which he keeps for his younger broth
ers, and generally conveys in the
French language, proud of the progress
he is making in the language of diplo-
macy, and knowing that nothing is
more helpful for acquiring a foreign
tongue than to quarrel in it. There
fore Prince Eitel Fritz lately told his
small brother that he was ''un petit
monstre."
The Emperor While in Hungary in
formed himself by telephone every
evening as to the conduct of the little
Princes, and on this occasion the re-
port was satisfactory for all with the
exception of Eitel Fritz. He, the pre-
ceptor telephoned, had been using big
words to his little brother-strong ex-
pressions in French. The Emperor's
next question was unfortunate.
'Quelles paroles done? Qu'a-t-il dit ce
petit monstre?" And the French teach
er's voice came back: May it please
your Imperial Highness, that's just
what he did say" 1t is hard to be quite
consistent, either as Prince or paterfa-

In a little publication called EXPIRES
slon," which comes from Boston, we
find the following paragraph in an article
on The Curse of a Name" apropos of
MacMonies statue, now in the New
York Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Il fully believe that if the statue had
been called by another name, or if some
body could have invented scheme of
calling the child knowledge, its pro-
truding lips thirsting for the knowledge
represented by the grapes, all would
have thought it appropriate for the po-
sition in the fountain. But the thought
of the name Bacchante condemned it.
The thought of reckless, lcentious
dancer being in the court OF our beauti-
full library stirred people TO antagonism.
II no name had been given to this
statue, and it had been seen first under
the pouring water, it would not have
been condemned. A name got between
the beholder and the wonderful statue,
and that name cursed all real artistic
feeling"
This opens up a wide field for Specu
lation, and painters and sculptors will
do well to remember that perhaps. after
all, it was its name that drove the Bac-
chante out Of Boston, says the Literary
Digest"

DR.. Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins
University, a theological expert and ed
itor of The Polychrome Bible" says of
the alleged letter OF Pontius PLATE,
which some sensational journals are ex-
plotting: The original is believed to be
spurious, and is generally regarded as
one of the curiosities of aprochryphal lit
erature. The report is referred to in a
number of the early patristic writings,
but biblical authorities do not incline to
the belief that such an official message
was ever sent to the Emperor. There
is also tradition that Plate sent two
letters to Tiberius, in which the cruci-
fixion of Christ and the incidents lead
ing thereunto We're described, and that
these letters We're read by st. Peter and
st. Paul in the presence of the Emperor,

We all know that Mark Twain can
make an irresistibly funny speech in
English, but not all Of us know he can
well-known literary society of Vienna,
the Concordia, entertained him few
weeks ago. he made his speech in that
language. He arose, it is reported in
the Daily Chronicle" amidst great
applause, which developed into frantic
enthusiasm when his first German
words became audible.
His heart, he said, was full of graf
itude for so much friendliness, but his
poverty of German words constrained
him to economy. Nevertheless, he
went on speaking for nearly half an
hour in his humorously visionary and
apparently incoherent manner, intro
dGcing English occasionally when the
right word was not at hand. The speech
was a variation of his horrors of the
German language and produced con-
tinued outbursts of laughter. He had
had for a long time, he said, a passion
ate longing to make a German speech
but he was never permitted to do So
They always told him to be quiet, and
choose some other way of making him
self disagreeable. This time also he
could hardly obtain the permission of
the committee to speak in German, as
the rules of the Literary Association of
Concordia included one to protect the
German language But he had no in
tention of injuring the language, On
the contrary. it was his lifes dream to
simplify and reform it,.

more senses than one, and their pro-
life laying and excellent qualities make
them a profitable fowl for the farmer
and market poultryman. They are one
OF the Oldest varieties of poultry and
nave always been held in popular es-
TEEN. The shape of Langshans is dis
tlnct from that of the Bran1na or Co.

either of the last-named varieties.
Langshans have white flesh and dark
legs, while the others are yellow SKIM
ed and yellow-legged The quality IF
the flesh of the Langshan is excellent,
being fine grained, tender and nicely
favored. AS layers they rank among
the best, averaging from twelve to
thirteen dozen a year, and as winter
layers they are to be recommended.
