OF Williams ambitions and peculiar
ities-and ne has many OF each-the
principal one seems to be to QepieJe
the imperial treasury as rapidly as pos
sIble. This has been one OF MS marked
successes, and It is well known that ne
is the most eXtravagant Hohenzolern
that ever sat on the throne. He is
fond of display and INDUCES this trait
in no small degree. Anything that will
startle the people or cause sensation
is sure to find favor with him, and this
l f0Idne1s for poHp and show has many
| times brought about strained relations
| between him and the official who mas
charge of his purse. His purchases CT
crowns and gold and silver plate reach
enormous sums yearly, while the
amount expended by him for paintings
and statuary in the course Of twelve
month would be sufficient to run
small empire. He is lover of art, and
1t is said that the beauty of Berlin, so
far as the monuments and statuary
that adorn the public squares are con-
cerned, is in great measure due to him.
1t is also said that the collection of fine
paintings in the royal gallery was got
together through his efforts. William
has himself painted several pictures
that have elected favorable comment
from the connoisseurs Of Europe. In
fact, there is little of the art that beau
tines the larger cities Of Germany in
the securing OF which he has not been
instrumental. Not only has he spent |
large sums of money on paintings and !
statuary, but the opera and other forms !
OF amusement have been literally pat |
rcnized by him. He takes an interest |
IN them, and it is said that when ne |
finds time hanging heavy on his hands |
and this seldom happens-he spends |
it in getting UP new ideas for the play
house or innovations for the receptions |
at the palace. In fact, there is little
that goes on in the empire that Will
liam is not aware of, ald usually he is
the prime mover in everything, from
maneuyering the army and navy to
captaining a fire company and giving
the members instructions in the best
methods of fighting fires.
He never stops to figure the cost of
anything he wants to do. He is an ex-
pensive traveller and much unlike either
his grandfather or his father, the late
Emperor Frederick. in this respect
For his special pleasure on one occa-
sion he had g train constructed that

When he goes to pay visit to one OF
the other crowned heads, he carries
scores of servants and hundreds OF

presents to foreign potentates aud the

Of the most expensive kind. while his
household expenses and those for the
dinners and receptions given at the
palace amount during year to hun
Greds of thousands Of dollars.
William is soldier. From his ear

the military, and, while the foundation

it must be tho gleam of the level
that flashes through his owes and
lights up his otherwise unattract:vo

However this may be, the toad is
a jewel in himself from an economic
point of view. The farmer has no
better friend or ally in his warfare
against injurious insects. Tho toad
comes forth mostly ut night, when
such insects as the cutworm are
abroad. When am working in the
garden and inadvertently disturb u

pardon, for, however queer it may
seem to some, like toads. In this
Dakota land they are very abun-
dant, and notice that insects are
prOportionately few.
When following the breaking
plow, havo often been reluctant
spectator of the last sad tragedy in
the lives Of some of these beneficont
little creatures. They love to bur
row down in the earth to just about
the depth that the plowsharc takes,
and there they are sometimes sliced
in two. On these occasions when
examining the contents of their
stomachs I have been surprised at
the quantity they could hold. I
have also noted the prevalence of
injurious species of insects, such as
leaf beetles, cutworms, grubs and
their larvae.
Once after victim passed under
the plow took pains to note the
contents Of it's stomach, which con-
sisted Of 4 large cutworms, 2 bean
beetles, II small leaf beetles, 8 small
manure beetles, 3 flies, several lar

small aromatic yellow ants. This

now just think how many such
meals he had taken in his life: then
think of his millions of relatives
and the meals they had eaten in
their lives. After that remember
that in their pollywog state toads
clear out myriads of larvae from
stagnant water and do much to-
ward lessening the great mosquito
pest, and you may imagine the vast
quantity of injurious insect material
they must have destroyed.

toads in my cellar and garden and
always felt amply repaid by the do

Growth OF the South.

Where tho proud city of Birming-
ham stands today there were in 1877
only wornout fields. Chattanooga
was uilapidated village. Atlanta
still sat in the ashes of the war
Florida was almost as mich of a
wilderness as in the days of Spanish
rule. Texas had made no imDres-
sion upon the worlds markets as a
cotton producer. The states of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
wero in poverty and despair because
of the miserics of the reconstruction
period. The coal and iron mines of
Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia
were practically undiscovered and
unopened. There was no serious
competition by any southern port
with New York and Boston for the
export and import trade. With q
single exception there was not one
great railroad system in the south.
and that did not touch the south
eastern part.
Twenty years ago the manufac-
ture of cotton in the south was
wholly an infant industry, and cities
now known as textile working cen.
ters were mere trading posts at the
crossroads. The fruit and vegeta.
BILE business OF Florida was &C small
as to attract little attention, while
the fruit and melon business of
Georgia did not exist at all. South
ern farmers then bought their corn
and meats instead of raising them
as they do now, and the cotto:7 crop

comparatively low prices and not.
