Apropos the enlistment OF such great

His remarks were most interesting and
they appeal especially to those who are
considering the adylsablllty OF putting

about a naval career Is not worth the

opposed Prince Bismarck in the field
of politics, or who incurred bis dis
pleasure, failed to experience the
effect of his wrath. The late Her
Georg Won Bunsen was practically
boycotted-he and his family alike
for some time from the Berlin court
and from Berlin society at Bismarck's
instance. Count Harry Won Arnin's
public career was ruined by Bismarck,
and how many other names of his
political opponents could be inscrib-
ed on the list Of those whose lives
were ruined on account Of Bismarck's
hatred for them?
But in his own home, around his
own hearth, with his wife and chill
dren, the warmth of Otto Won Bis
marck's heart was felt. He had none
of the German sentimentality about
him, but he was affectionate and
faithful to the few he loved at home.
His love for his wife and children
was amply repaid. They thoroughly
APPRECIATED him, and understood that
it was necessary that he should have
a genial, comfortable home W mere he
could forget the cares OF business.
They looked ubon all those who
gave him trouble as their own person
al foes; they took precautions that
his sleep, his rebose and his hours Of
recreation should not be disturbed
His wish was law to them, and their
chief pleasure was to see him anus

BLSlT4RCK7S LIKES AND DISLIKES.

Bismarck once said Of himself thai
he was "the most hated of anybody
in Europe Unhappily, this might
be said Of his own country. Particu-
larists, ultramontaneF, socialists have
never ceased to show their abhor
renee of him by word and deed, for
getfuI Of what he has done, with ali
his faults, for the greatness of Ger
many. On the other hand, it would
be an absurdity not to admit that the
contrary-so FAR as Prussia is con-
cerned-is equally true. Prince Bis
marck, at the height Of his popular
ity, was the best beloved man in the
Fatherland-he was absolutely ador
ed, as no man was ever adored before
him. Ample proof Of this was given
on one occasion Of his SEVENTEEN
birthday in Berlin in 1882; on the
memorable afternoon when he left
Berlin after his dismissal in 1890; and
again, subsequently,, in 1892 when in
disgrace at the court, he made his tri-
umphant progress through the empire
to Vienna to assist at the nuptials OF
his son, Count Herbert.
At the same time his best friends
have often said of him that no man
could hate like Bismarck. He was
aware of the fact himself, and never
concealed it. One day at the table
the conversation turned on Goethe's
remarks about love. The great Ger
man poet said that life was beautified
by love. Bismarck disputed the strict
accuracy Of these words. "Hatred,"
he said, "has also its duties to per-
form, and maintain life just as much
as love. My wife is indispensable to
me for love and Windhorst for hat
red.'' Dr. Windhorst, the diminutive
but shrewd and clever leader of the
ultramontanes-the WellknoWn ex-
minister Of the king of Hanover
one of those political opponents a
gainst whom Bismarck's bitterest re-
proaches of unpatriotism were so fire.
quently hurled, Eugene Richter, the
leader of the extreme radicals in the
imperial diet, one of Bismarck's
greatest opponents, enjoyed a similar
place in the ex-chancellor's heart.
And to sum up, nobody who ever
