How Bismarck Could Drink.

Count Andrassy's story of an inter
eiew he had with Bismarck is as fol-
lows:
bismarck had two immense mugs
of beer brought to US. He took one of
them and showed the other over to me-
l remarked that | drank only water.
He looked at me i'll silence, curiously
and almost suspiciously for minute
and then proceeded with the subject
under discussion. The more interested
he became in our conversation the more
frequently and copiously he drank.
After finishing his own mug he appro-
priated mine without word and put
down it's contents in three or four ire
mendous drafts. Then he had a servant
fetch and fill two enormous pipes.
When he offered me one of them, ex-
planned that | never smoked.
'Whatr he cried, neither drink
nor smoke? What kind of a supernatural
man are you anyway
sit was mercy to both of us, how
ever, that did not accept the pipe, for
Bismarck smoked so necessarily that
within 10 minutes the air in the room
was dense. When l rose at the end of
the evening from the table at which we
were sitting, the smoke was so thick
that could hardly see the chancellor's
face ~
