this amount is divided among the winning

In the delightful home of well-known
officer of the United States navy, now sta
toned here, the daily household and table
talk has been reduced to the purest and
most unvarnished man-o'-warese. The nav
al officer is a deep-water and heavy-weat1-

said one Of the young women of the family
to a young woman caller the other day,
and it took her quite five minutes to ex-
plain that in the navy breaking out
means unpacHing, removing, overhauling
gear from a storeroom.
When one of the naval officers young
sons wants the boy from the next house 70
make his appearance out in front for play

unto the blast Of a bO'sun's pipe. and then,
In voice pitched in as deep a key as his

has been often reprimanded. when fhere
is company in the house for evening tea.

sold that the government dreaded his
popularity. Several pictures were con-
fiscated, and. with the discovery that Wey-

knowledge of the indubitable popularity
of another parsonage. 1t was noticed

Berliners will celebrate an event on March

Bismarck entered the military service of
the king of Prussia as n second lieutenant
Of cavalry. He rose slowly in rank. so
that at the end of his military career he
had the grade of colonel general. with the
rank of field marshal. 1t was this rank
that he held during the Franco-Prussian
war. where he served. far as actual
lighting was concerned, in an honorary
capacity A Strasburg journal was si-
lenced the other day by order of the police
because its editor had the temerity to ask
the Berliners why they should celebrate
the anniversary of Bismarck's joining the
army. since the Iron chancellor" how
ever proficient he had been in the council
chamber, had never led a squadron into
battle in his life. and had never been under
fire as a soldier.
