ARMOR PLATE.

Fresno Republican,: Now that the
administration has reduced the price of
armor plate to $500 per ton and de-
clared its intention to manufacture for
itself if necessary. Andrew Carnegie
rises to remark that there has been
no profit in the business, anyway, of
making bIowholes at $500 per ton. And
that is all right. too. The Government

9 FAvoRITE COUNTRY SEAT.
Bismarck at present drinks sparingly
of light Moselle wines, of Munich beer,
and often n glass of French cham
payne as we'll. Brandy and heavy.
Rhine or Burgundy wines he no longer
touches. But he has remained faithful
to his long German porcelain pipe,
filled with coarse-cut Varinas tobacco
of a light grade.
Afternoons he takes walk out into
the woods, if the weather be fine and
walking pleasant, or else drive of sew
eral hours. Only when he feels quite
unwell, or the weather is unusually for
bidding, he abstains from this exercise.
After q light supper he enjoys the de-
lights of the family circle-his daugh-
ter or Count Rantjau playing or sing
ing, the handsome grandchildren, Of
whom he is, in orthodox grandpa style,
Unfortunately fond, busying themselves
with schoolwork or light reading, and
Bismarck himself sitting in huge
armchair, putting out big clouds Of
smoke and reading, listening, often con-
versing about topics of theday and more
all kinds, told invariably in his famous
raconteur style, for that brilliant gift
has remained with him in undiminished
degree, and his stock of amusing anec-
dotes is fairly inexhaustible.
Thus, it cannot be said that Bis
marck, though now proverbially the
Hermit of the Sachsenwald"-a he
is often called in the press and in the
reichstag-is really unhappy in his ex-
IRENE old age. On the contrary, it may
well be believed that he enjoys his re-
naming days us much as his faculties
will permit.
On April Prince Bismarck cele-
brated his eighty-second birthday in a
quiet way. AS usual he received thou
sands of congratulatory kilograms,
among them messages from the veneer
able King Albert of Saxony, Prince
Regent Luitpold of Bavaria and other
re1gning German princes.

no wise different from scores and hun

with the smooth lawn, the beds of flow

through the dark green of the mighty
oaks and elms, some of them six or
seven centuries old, rising everywhere.
Beyond the mansion and the admins
tration building near it, stretches the
Sachsenwald for the distance of several
hours ride, and it is this forest, which
is under scientific management, which
gives the whole estate its high money
value, for the woods growing there are
all of the mcrchantabie kind. In the

Of the bulky gifts sent the ancient
statesman from everywhere on recent

able is the huge vase standing in front

For a man as old as Bismarck is to-
day, and al man who has, while in Of
flee, always e4erted himself. physical
ly and mentally, to the utmost, it is
remarkable that there is still so much
vitality and such passion for useful
occupation of some kind remaining in
him. 1t is true that neuralgia, his old
enemy, is causing the old man q great
deal of pain at frequent intervals, and
that sleeplessness, the bane of old age
is likewise his PORTION. But, with few
exceptions, Bismarck still passes very
busy day. He rises carly, usually .wher

good appetite. Then, as soon as the
mail has arrived and been sorted by his
private secretary, DR.. Chrysander, in
the presence of his son-in-law, Count
Eantfau-for Count Rantfau, husband
of Bismarck's only daughter, has now
taken up his residence in Friedrichsruhl
and means to stay there until the old
mans denth-the ex-chancellor busies
himself with that. and he often be-
comes so completely absorbed in what
ne reads and writes that he has to be
summoned again and again to dinner.
Usually, it is true, he dictates letters or
but he invariably looks them over and
carefully corrects them, and in the ed
itorial office of his Hamburg organ,
the Hamburger Nachrichten, are kept
many manuscripts showing the big,
strong, characteristic handwriting of
the octogenarian statesman. 1t is
fact little known outside Germany that
during the recent series of articles
which appeared in the above journal,
and in which the past relations of Ger
many with Russia and Austria were
handled without gloves, the secret police
one day made a search of the editorial
rooms in Hamburg, but dropped it i'm
mediately on coming across some pa
pers in awell-remembered chirography.
There is, in fact, nothing of political
moment which escapes the keen eye,
undimmed by old age, of the ex-chan-
cellor, and whenever he deems it proper
to say something, either in explanation,
in friendship or in enmity, about the
most recent political developments he
does not scruple to do so. He has told
the present emperor, time and again,
that he will not be made "mundtodt,''
1. e., enforcedly silent. and even urgent
appeals in the emperor'S own writing
have not changed him in this respect.
Dinner, Bismarck likes to have gay
and unconventional, and he is always
glad to have guest present who is will
ing and able to contribute something
to the conversation, and who can talk
of matters in which the host feels in,
terested. Such guest, even if his posi-
ton in life be quite an insignificant
one, the chancellor will treat during
mealtime with an amount of considera-
ton, even forbearance and encourage
ment which, during the rest of the day,
seems foreign to his nature. He will
clink glasses with him and propose
short, pithy toasts, often full of humort
and vim. and put questions by the score.

wood which is lining the railroad track

family seat, was years ago given by
Bismarck to his eldest son, Count
Herbert, and Narzin, another fine and
large estate belonging to the en-
chancellor, though it lies in Pomerania,
the Prussian- province which the old
man always liked best, and though in
former days he loved to retire to Varzin
when he wanted to escape the hustle
and turmoil of the world, since the
death of his wife has lost all attrac-
ton for him. Again and again he made
up his mind to visit the grave of his
faithful spouse in Varzin, but in every
instance the intention was not carried
out. 1t appears that the death of his.
