Dinner with the Kaiser

Like Frederick the great, William II.
likes good company at table; so there are
always several guests at the 6 o'clock din
ner-as at the supper that follows at g.
who are welcomed Dy him with a hearty
shake of the hand. The meal generally
consists of but few courses; but, however
small the company, the table is always
laid with costly plate and the choicest
flowers. Of the latter the Emperor is
particularly fond. 1t is at these small
gatherings, after which cigars and Munich
beer are handed round, that he shows
himself most uncOnstrained. Almost
every department of public life is freely
handled on these occasions; and the EN-
peror encourages his guests, who are of
ten scholars and artists, to speak freely.
1t frequently happens at such times that
opinions differ to an extent unbeftting
such a place; but the Emperor always
knows how to interpose in conciliatory
way, or to put an end to the war Of words
by a sharp speech.-Paul Lindenberg in

Signol Arditi, the musical conductor,
whose badness is well known, wore a
wig only once in his life. 1t was in New
York, and he bore as philosophically as
might be the surprise betrayed by the or
chestra at his novel appearance. But,
while the musicians were tuning up, he
began to feel uncomfortable. Presently
the door opened and Alboni peeped in.
Arditi knew that the prima donna had
an ineradicable adherence of wigs.
''Where is Arditi?' she inquired of one
Of the company. 'Here [ am" replied
the conductor, rather shamefacedly, step
ping forward. She looked at him for a
moment, and then burst into laughter
"What, Arditi," she called; sis it indeed
you in that wig? Never, in the world!
My good friend, I should never be able
to sing with that before me. Here!'
With one bound she seized upon the I'M
fortunate wig, dragged it from his head,
and threw it to the other side of the
room. He did not replace it; and though
he always fancied that wig would be-
come him, he never again wore one.

From Tree TO Paner

A Delaware paper manufacturing firm
recently demonstrated the fact that a
sheet of paper can be made from a stand
ing tree all in the space Of two hours.
In forest near the mill three trees were
felled at 1886 a. M, and carried to the
mandatory, where they were cut into
pieces II inches in length, these being at
once placed in the grinders. The wood
pulp produced by these machines was
rushed through the intermediary processes
and sent to the paper machine. At 9:34
the first sheet of paper was finished, the
entire manufacture having thus consumed
two hours, lacking one minute.

when the disgusted Mr.. East sent the pc

Napoleon's life with the internal ma

A Dangerous Lethargy.

The forerunner of n train of evils, which
too often eliminate fatally, is inactivity or
lethargy of the kidneys. Not only is
Bright's disease, diabetes, gravel, or some
other dangerous integral disease OF the Or
gans themselves to be apprehended, but
dropsical diffusions from the blood, rheu-
matism and govt, are all traceable to the
non-removal from the blood by the kidneys
of certain impurities. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters depurates the blood, renders the kid
news active and prevents their disease.

Electric Bleaching of Teeth,

The application of electricity has been
eminently successful for the bleac ching of
teeth. After filling the nerve canal in
the usual manner the cavity is excavated
and filled with cotton saturated with the
bleaching solution. The positive pole is
connected with the cotton in the cavity,
and the negative to the wrist, and the
current is allowed to remain for twenty
or thirty minutes, according to the densi-
ty of the stain. The process is painless
and most effective.
