 1. Factory regulations and laws for the protection of labor.

 8. Government control of railways, telegraph and all monopolies and pulp lie works.
 In what we can "paternalism' Bis marck was great believer. He held the opinion that all economic measures for tfe benefit of the people should be di- rected by the state. He established a department for commerce and manufac- lures; native industries and native trade were not only protected against foreign NOaAhPNeAtioiA ny Ah6ik thlpOlt uutleS, Dul were encouraged by the payment of bQunties upon exports, and by direct subsidies and guarantees from the im- perial treasury to protect private enter prise against loss. Technical schools were established for the purpose of edu- eating skilled labor. Their chief object, as defined by the chancellor himself, was to carry out manifest duty to the gov ernment to qualify its subjects to do better work and earn higher wages. He established experimental stations in mining. forestry, agriculture and all other branches of industry in order to enlist science in cooperation with i'm diyiduall enterprise. Railways and canals were constructed by the govern msnt to afford cheap transporta ton, and wherever possible the commercial and industrial instincts of the people were inspired and stimulated.
 1he entire tendency of Bismarck's domestic policy was toward socialism. In 1884, when he was endeavoring to secure industrial compulsory insurance, he proclaimed that the government must give the worlkingman the opportunity to work as long as he is healthy, assure him proper care when he is sick and proper maintenance when he is aged "If you do that" he said. eff the state will show little more Christian solic:- tude for the workingman, believe the gentleman of the Wyden (the socialist agitators) will sound their bird call in vain and that the working men will cease to follow them as soon as they see that the government and this legislature are earnestly interested in. their welfare" !

ter will be of the most subtle and deI.- cate nature They will be of the kind which will make the mistress of the household laugh at che cook, and so irri- tate her still further. It is this far reaching method that you should custi- vate.
 To do this when most insulting remen- Der to appear ow:wardly calm and cour- teous. There is nothing that so irrtates an adversary as the careless demeanor of his foe. Greater and more lasting an- ger can be reused by a cool contempt than by a whole drayful of bricks shisd with the accuracy of aim of a William Tell. Therefore do not indulge in 1he clumsy work of the mere novice and hurl flatirons and pans at the cooks head, but go about the undermining of her temper wiIh some of the sub, ,lety of the servant.

Remember, above all things, never to complain of the cook to your mistress. Let her complain of you. This will place the burden of the contest upon her shoulders, and it is a singular soa.o- logical fact that rhe plaintiff in actions of this mature is more frequently dis .ol.t~ T ul Al..- approved method of irritating cooks, di- vfded into three periods, is as follows, for which am indebted no: only to ex- per,encc, but also 10 Mrs Wotherspoon's paper before the Hojack School of Do- nestle Science, as already stated. The three steps are the amiable period, the sarcastic period and the silent period.
 1.-The Amiable Period. That is the most deceptive to the cook. It will in- spire her with an affectionate regard for you at the outset, which will make her irritation all the more deeper when it finally sets in. Praise everything she does. Admire everything that she wears. Help her as much as you can in her work. Appear to be happy only when in her presence. Then, when se- cure in her affections, lapse into error, and keep her waiting for the platters and tureens and vegetable dishes, so that meals will be served cold when they should be hot. This will cause your mistress to scold her; and she, rather than betray you, will suffer in silence, and you may be sure that be- fore long this silent suffering will cause her to regard you with some impatience. Your next effort should be to secure from her an outbreak which will carry you into the second phase. This may most effectually be brought about in any one of three ways. Continue to make the errors relating to the china al- ready mentioned; inadvertently lock the cook out of doors some night, so that the head of the household will have to

was caused by the clash when William ascended the throne. In addition to this Bismarck has become very childish things which are very soon repeated in an exaggerated or distorted form to the emperor, and the emperor's retorts are carried back to him, both by those who ought to know better and by others who desire to make trouble.
 The chancellor retains his physical vigor in a remarkable manner. He goes about the park at Friedrichsruh, wear ing an old-fashioned German cap and a military cloak, and leans heavily upon a hickory stick. The people call him "the lord of the Saxon forest" He Is constantly under the medical care of his friend, Prof. Schweninger, man of most unsavory reputation morally, but with few peers in his profession. He has undoubtedly prolonged the life of the chancellor several years. His pe- culiar speciality is reducing flesh. His list of lady patients among the nobility and the aristocracy is long. and they pay him most extruvagant fees for keep ing their figures in proper proportion.
 His regimen is severe. He depmves his patients of almost all liquid nour- isffment. He does not permit them to taste beer, and that of itself is a hard ship which will reduce almost any Ger man to a skeleton. One small cup of

narek was ahe author of the law which obliges employers in eGrmany to insure their working people not only against accident, but against sickness and old age. The premiums paid by the em- pioyers are fixed yearly by the govern ment upon the amount of wages received and upon the degree and character of risk incidental to the employment of each person. In case Of accident the in- juTed person is secured support. In case of death his relatives or those dependent upon him receive compensation. In case of permanent incapacity the injured man receives a portion of his ordinary wagas Tor a term of years and the cost of medi- cal attendance for thirteen weeks. Upon the employers of Germany all these ob- ligations rest, and they have organized themselves into associations, called Berufsg fsgenossenschaften, for mutual lla- bility and protection. Their transac- tlone are under the supervision of the imperial insurance commissioners, and the postoffices are the medium of pay ment of both premiums and policies.
 The imperia insurance office is the court which decides all matters of dis pute concerning organization, adminis- stration and discipline, and private cor porations are excluded from operating in industrial insurance.
 The industrial insurance system ap- plies to about 12,000,O0O working pe3p e in Idermany, including laborers, factory operatives, mechanics of all descriptions, dopestic servants, clerks, apprentices in hafF4icrafts and trades, and aR other employees whose wages do not exceed s50oa year. The German law is the most tdnefDugh, complete and effective that ex- ists. and the man of blood and iron is entitled to the credit of it's authorship.

She sue ceeded in securing an Interview wi lh Lh 9 chancellor and persuaded him to abandon his bell.gs sllcnt pclcy and accept the em- peror's pacific policy. There was some gossip about th.s at the time, but the world had forgotten 1t until Bismarck himself refreshed their recollccGons, and the anecdote has been passed around in diplomatic circles recently, not only in Berlin, but in other capitals of Europe.
 The exact relations between the eno- peror and Bismarck are a mystery to German politicians and newspapers. In 1895 William II. sent telegram of con- gratulations to the iron chancellor on the S0th anniversary of his birth, say ing: Deeply moved, I wish to express to your serene highness again today, as I did on the 26th at the head of my army, the thanks of my house and of the German nation for all that you have done for Germany. May God bless you
 and illumine the evening of life of the man who will ever retain the gratitude and be the pride of the German nation.'
 At this time the reichstag, by a ma 1ority vote, refused to send message to Bismarck, whereupon both the pres ident and vice-president of that body resigned. On the following day, when

the emperor received their successors, he said to them: ''You have been in office only few hours, and the cause of your election was net a pleasing one to me-, At the same time he telegraph ed Bismarck as follows: ''I must ex- press to your highness my deepest in- dignation at tho recent action of par lament, which is completely at variance with the feelings of all the German rul- CTS and of the people,
 This was in 1895. In 1896 a similar message was sent, and on April 1, this year, when Bisnarcll's sgd birthday came around, Herr de Grahl. who gives out news from the palace to the press, announced that Q telegram of a most cordial character had been sent as usual, but the text was not given, which is contrary to custom. Bismarck's person. al organ, and several other newspapers which are known to draw inspirat tion from him and in which his authorized utteranees appear from time to time, declared that no telegram was received from the emperor. although hundreds came from members of the court and friends and admirers in other parts of Germany. Herr de Grahl asserted that the original announcement was correct, but has persistently refused to give the text of the message.
 This. taken in connection with the fact that the name of Prince Bismarck has not been mentioned in any of the several imperial proc,amations that have appeared this year regarding the cele- bration of anniversaries of the Franco PrusSian war leads to tha conclusion that communication has ceased between Potsdam and Friedrichsruh, and there is very little expectation of a renewal or relations between the emperor and the founder of the empire.
 Those who are in position to speak lnteihgently on the subject assert that

the breach between them Is due to the mischievous meddling of persons who have grudges against Bismarck for his treatment of them while he was in pow CT, and that If the old man and young emperor could get together now and then they might manage to maintain a friendly understanding.

In fact, the diet of the patient is reduced to raw meat; but the effect is certain. and many women prefer to follow this regi- men than lose the symmetry of their figures.
 Another of this famous doctors reme- dies is the grape cure, which is said to be good deal or a humbug, but is nevertheless adopted with good effects by thousands of people. Certain classes of German grapes have a soothing effect upon the mucous membrane, and when eaten in large quantities in connection with a limited amount of other food pro- diuce a vegetable acid and salt which have an effect similar to the water of some of the German springs. There is also a tartar in the grapes of the Rhine valley which is claimed to be a specific for diseases of the kidneys, and Bis marck's physician is a specialist in this sort of treatment.

Human judges differ as to the degree of Bismarcks success and the value of his services to the Gsrman empire, but it Is universally admitted that he was the first statesman who dared take so- cia1 problems in hand and endeavored to improve the lot of the laboring popula- ton by legislation and by the intsrven- tion of the government. He will go into history with Frederick the Great
 who was responsible for many of the errors and wrongs which Bismarck has tried to correct, and if his time had not been so much absorbed by other and more imperative questions the condi- tion of the working people of Germany might have been improved much more.

from the back window. In passing the
corner they saw Edward Gillicoy, who

TROUBLE MAY ENSUE.

Spanish Government Protests Against the
Escape Of the Silver Heel.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Serious inter.
national complications may result from
the failure of the United States mar.
shals on board the revenue cutter
Chandler to stop the alleged fiibuster-
ing schooner Silver Heel when she left
New York harbor early last Sunday
morning.
This case on it's face looks very much
as if the United States officials had
taken every means to avoid stopping
the schooner while pretending to be
very diligent in their efforts to capture
her.
Minister de LONE, acting under in
structions from his government, has
called the attention of the state depart
ment to the case and has politely asked
for an explanation. The administration
did not wait for this, however, but
after hearing of the escape Of the
schooner, the treasury department

New York asking for q report on the
matter.

The report was received at the state
