MUSSEL SHELL SALOON.
One of the Wonders of the Imperial
Palace at Potsdam.

One OF the Wonders of the Imperial
Palace at POtsdam.
From the London Daily Mail.
1t is little wonder that the youthful
Prince Chun was impressed by his sur
roundings when the kaiser received him in
the Mussel Shell Saloon Of the new palace
at Potsdam. The apartment in which the
audience took place is one of the finest
and at the same timesone Of the most Gu
rious in Europe Entirely inlaid with pol
ished shells and precious stones, the whole
vast saloon shimmers like crystal, while
myriads of specks Of varied. colored lights
dart out from wall and ceiling. To one
unaccustomed to and uneXpecting such
display the effect must have been almost
bewildering.
The whole interior Of the new palace Is
embellished in equally magnificent style.
1t is new in name only, the building having
been commenced so long ago as 1763 and
finished six years later. The total cost
was f450,OOO. The frontage extends for a
distance of 400 feet, and the apartments
number about 200. Here the emperor and
empress come for the quiet home life gem
orally denied them at their palace in Berlin,
for his majesty has said that he Is never
so happy as when dining alone with his
wife" The imperial couple may frequently
be seen in the lanes about the new palace
taking an invigorating ride before o'clock
In the morning.
The emperor and his family occupy the
north wing Of the palace. The most not
able apartments, in addition to the one al
ready referred to are the Jasper gallery,
the dining hall and the state drawing
rooms. Besides being decorated and fur
nished in superb fashion, the rooms are
full of priceless art treasures, collected
for the most part by Frederick the Gfeat
The paintings include examples by Rubens
Titan, Tintoretto and other masters. The
Orangery, which is also mentioned in con-
nection with Prince Chun's visit, is a fine
building fronted by a number Of remark
ably lifelike statues. Malachite as well as
| other costly material appears in the exQui-
site ornamentation of the rooms Another
beautiful object which Prince Chun no
doubt observed is the great fountain in the
park. which filings vast volumes of water
| to height of over 100 feet.
Altogether. it would be interesting to read
translation of the princes impressions of
| Potsdam. The SchloSS of Berlin is no less
| ornate than the new palace; but in the for
| mer the scheme Of decoration follows more
| conventional lines. The finest Of the apart
| ments are undoubtedly the throne room
| and the white room. A striking feature of
| the throne room Is a handsome crystal
| chandelier, which once stood in the reich
| stag room at Worms. Luther was wont to
| stand beneath 1t at the diet. In this room
| also may be seen a silver column, eight
| feet in height, presented to the Emperor
| William I by the officers of the German
army and navy. Both Of these saloons
| have fine rococo embellishments.

REMEDY FOR THE BLUES.
1t IL So Very Simple That Any One
Can Test 1t.


Can Test 1t.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
"A well-known doctor Of Minneapolis,
who has made speciality of nervous dis
eases, has found a new remedy for the
blues AS no drugs are administered. he
has felt safe in experimenting with at least
half q hundred melancholy patients, and
now declares himself thoroughly satisfied
with the good results Of his treatment. His
prescription reads something like this: II
you keep the corners of your mouth turned
up you can't feel blue The directions for
taking are: Smile-keep on smiling-don' t
stop smiling 1t sounds ridiculous, doesn't
it2 Well, just try turning up the corners of
your mouth, regardless Of your mood, and
see how 1t makes you feel; then draw the
corners of your mouth down and note the
effect, and you will be willing to declare
there's something in IT.
1.-The doctor treats his nervous patients
to medicine when necessary, but, when the
case Is one of pure melancholy without
bodily Ill. he simply recommends the smile
cure. He has the patient remain in his Of
flee and smile; II 1t isn't the genuine article,
it must at least be an upward curvature OF
the corners Of the mouth, and the better
feelings follow inevitably. The treatments
are followed up regularly, and the patients
all testify to their good effect. 1t takes
considerable persuasion to induce some OF
greater number Of patients are women, for
when a man is blue he Is bound to be blue
in spite Of everything. but a woman is more
easily persuaded to try to find cure.
"The doctor declares that II persons will
only draw down the corners Of their mouths
ssz sae sufficient viii power they can ac-
Snll shed tears. On the other hand, II
! thsr Mil persistently keep the corners Of
- mouth turned UP, pleasant thoughts will
GhAsA away the gloomy forebodings. His
&Doovsry grew out Of an experience in
Ais own homo. His wife was Of a nervouh
and rather morbid temperament, and when
in q dsspondent mood he would ask her
TO smile q little until the saying came
to be q household joke. But It brought
about good results. and then came the
| insparation to try the same cure on others.
Tho doctor has not patented his rem
| edy and Il 10 free TO all who choose to

An Irishman took contract to dig
public well. When hehSd dug about twen-
ty-five feet down he came one morning and
found it caved in-aIIed nearly to the top.
Pat looked cautiously round and saw that
no one was near; then took OF his hat and
coat and hung them on the windlass. crawl
ed into some bushes and waited events.
In a short time the citizens discovered
that the well had caved In, and seeing Pats
hat and coat on the windlass they supposed
he was at the. bottom OF the excavation.
Only a few hours Of brisk digging cleared
the loose earth from the wen. Just as the
eager citizens had reached the bottom, and
were wondering where the body was. Pat
came walking out Of the bushes and good
naturedly thanked them for relieving him
of a sorry job.
Some of the tired diggers were disgusted,
but the joke was too good to allow OF any
thing more than q hearty laugh. which
soon followed.

DUTCHMEN IN STONE.
Uses Made Of the Term by Architects
and Policemen.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The presence OF several "Dutchmen'' on
the custom house building, near the roof,
attracted the other day the attention Of
a small but interested group OF observers.
was passing at the time and overheard
one man say TO another, pointing at the
same time with his finger: There they
are, right above that cornice" I was not
particularly curious. but a few feet further
on 1 inquired OF boy who had just come
from the scene as to the nature Of the
trouble. IL there was any. and he told me
that one of the men had said that there
were couple OF Dutchmen up there. 4
retraced my steps. and looked intently for
the gentlemen from Holland. but couldn't
see anything on or near the roof, and.
the men were stIn gazing at the building.
Nentured to ask about any person being
seen son the edfice. The man whom 1 ad-
dressed l found to be a well-known archi-
tect, and he replied that he was merely
pointing out to a visiting member Of the
craft several "Dutchmen" IN some of the
larger blocks Of marble. You see" he
said. when a contractor receives a large
piece OF marble containing a flaw, he hates
TO sacrihce the whole piece on that ac-
count, and so he deftly inserts a plug IN
the place. the same as a patch and when
IL is properly smoothed over no one but an
expert can tell It, In time, however the
lines of the plug or 'Dutchman.' as Il Is
called, can easily be seen. just as you can
see those two up there" he said, pointing
to the spot. / certainly felt enlightened
BY the way policemen sometimes use an
other kind of ''Dutchman." When at night
they discover the door of a building not
locked. they nail a little piece of wood on
the back of the door foot or so from the
noor, and another piece on the floor say
an equal distance from the bottom OF the
door. Then a board is obtained one end OF
which is placed against the cleat which
mas been made on the floor. while the other
end rests loosely against the back of the
door. When everything is ready the po-
llceman gently pulls the door to- the board
slips under the cleat. and the place is so
securely locked that when the occupant
comes the next morning he must either
preak In the door or get a ladder and enter
In that way. So much for the handy uses
or Dutchmen, and there may be others.

COLLEGE MEN AND BUSINESS,

Most men who have missed a college
training regret the fact. Mr.. Schwab
does not. If the sole object Of life ts
money making and the control of bust
ness there is a tremendous advantage
in the early start, and time spent in
college Is not a direct contribution to
the fulf1llment Of any such ambition.
But 1t does not follow that Mr.. Schwab
is wholly right in the appraisement of
values which his advice implies.
If the alternatives were complete sue
cess and wretched failure there would
be no choice, but the college education
is by no means Incompatible with
success even on this doubter's show
ing and we know that here in Chicago
and throughout the country there are
scores of college men who have attain
ed to a greater or less degree of bust
less prosperity. That being the case,
it is a cause Of additional satisfaction
70 them that they have certain re-
sources which they may count as the
assets of their college training. They
ire the better for them socially, the
Better for them above all because they
ire a reserve upon which they can fan
back when the aim of the business life
s accomplished.
All this Mr. Schwab overlooked in
his one sided presentment Of his sub
iect. and yet it is not a negligible
Iuantity. as many business men have
estified both by their restlessness in
'etirement and by word Of mouth
