1t was recently reported by cable
that Prof. DR.. Won Esmarch and his
wife had celebrated their silver wed.
ding. Before she married the doctor
plain Mrs. Won Esmarch was Princess
Henrietta Won Schleswig- -Holstein-Son-
derburg-Augustenburg. The present
empress of Germany comes from the
same family as is her niece. DIR. Won
Esmarch had for 43 years past been
director of the surgical clinic of the
Kiel university, and his prominence in
the scientific world is explained by the
fact that he is one of the most sue
cessful surgeons of Germany to-day.
In his clinical department alone he has
performed more than 10000 operations,
which do not include his beneficent la
bors as consulting surgeon and chief
of the military hospitals at Berlin dur
ing the wars of 1866 and 1s70-71. His
immense popularity throughout Ger
many is not only due to his ability as
u surgeon, but to his thoroughly or
ganizing the Society of the Red Cross
in Germany.
Although "a years old, he is physical
ly in perfect health, and his almost
youthful elasticity is quite surprising.
He is a passionate hunter, and for sew
eral weeks every summer goes into the
hunting reserves of the Bavarian from
tier hunting for chamois and other
mountain game.
AS the wife of Prof. Won Esmarch
Princess Henrietta has understood
most admirably how to maintain her
relations to the highest circles, and at
the same time to make for herself
an honored position among the friends
and associates of her husband at Kiel.
The empress of Germany calls her af'
fectionately "Auntie Doctor"

1t needed no experienced eye to de-
termine that he was distinctively rural,
says the Washington Star. There was
hayseed in his hair, his boots bore the
sign manual of the farm and he handled
knife and fork with the vigorous skill Of
one accustomed to the daily use of shov-
ell and hoe. After watching me season
my meat with a judicious quantity of
tobasco curiosity got the better of his
bashfulness.
stranger, is that there stuff good to
put on meat?" he inquired.
"Yes, indeed, if one likes seasoning"
replied.
He appeared satisfied with the in
formation and proceeded to try the con-
diment.
With reckless liberality, against
which / should have warned him, he
took the small bottle and shook out a
quantity upon his plate. He cut off a
large mouthful of meat, rolled it about
in the red liquid until thoroughly satn-
rated, popped it into his mouth and
bolted it.
What followed may be safely left to
the Imagination.
When at last the power of speech re-
turned to him he turned to me-
There was more of sorrow than anger
in his mind; his face was innocent of
frown or smile, ard there was impress
sive compassion in the tone in which he
said:

One Way Of Telling That . Man In
Getting Old.
There are many signs indicating
marked an aged gentleman to a Wash
ington Star reporter, but one of the
surest is when he finds that his sus-
penders have a way of slipping off the
shoulders. At first he thinks there is
something wrong with the suspendero,
and he tries to remedy it by tighten
ing them up. For awhile this cures
the trouble, but in a little while there
is more slipping and he gets new pair
of suspenders. Even they slip off and
make him feel uncomfortable. After
awhile he discovers the trouble is not
with the suspenders but with himself.
AS years roll on a man he gets more
and more round shouldered, and unless
be has his suspenders braced up by
connecting them with a band behind
the shoulders he cannot keep them up.
l remember, some years ago. hearing
two very prominent men speaking OF
the fact that they were getting old.
One of them was at the time vice presi-
dent of the United States and the other
was leading senator. What makes
you think you are growing old% one
of them asked of the other. Il found
it out was the reply, as soon as dis
covered that my suspenders would not
stay up That has been my experience

er of the gentlemen referred to had yet
reached his seventieth year, but they
had both discovered they were growing
old by the same incident in their lives.
l have never known it to fail. After
a man reaches sixty his shoulders grow
round steadily, and by the time he is
seventy-five his shoulders have lost all
their original size and formation"
