The Kaiser is an Orator.

The German Emperor is an orator Of
the first rank. His speeches, like those
of all true orators, bear a strong and
unmistakable impress of their own. They
are striking and original in their Ian
guage because they express the work
ings of remarkable character and
mind. Like all genuine eloquence, they
reflect with absolute sincerity the mood
of the speaker for the moment, but the
fervid imagination and the quick intel
ligenee of the Emperor present the sub
jectS with which he is constantly occu-
pied in many and varied aspects to him,
so that the mood of one day is not al
ways the mood Of the next. He is car
ried away at times by the warmth of
his fancy. by the music of his words.
and by the instinct of the orator for
immediate and dramatic effects, and he
then uses phrases which at first sight
and taken singly seem to convey more
than they really mean. The fault is
common to almost all great speakers

picnic was demoralized the other day be
fore the scholars and teachers were well
out of town. 1t was arranged that the
majority of the scholars should go to the
grove on a trolley car, and that the pas
tor of the flock, several teachers and the
baskets should follow in a wagon hired
fer the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out and
the procession started auspiciously. The
wagon was trife in front, and as the
trolley car passed it the pupils OF the
Sunday school saw that that made them
fear to look again. Their pastor was sit
ting on the seat beside the driver. his
broad brimmed hat on his knee, his hand
on the support of gaudy, yellow umbrel-
la that shaded the seat, and ON the um-
brella was this inscription:

pills to expostulate. They were whisked
by in short order, and so it was not until
he reached the picnic grounds that the
good man knew what strange device the
banner bore which he had upheld for FIVE
miles
When the party returned the sun was
still in the heavens. but the umbrella was
furled and carefully tucked under the

Couapsins anlE1pioiins Bdl9rs.

There is a good deal of inaccuracy
in the popular talk about boilers blowing
up or exploding" said an old boilermak-
en-, discussing the wreck of the City of
Trenton.
IF too much pressure is exerted on
the interior of boiler which is weak in
any part, the weak part will give and
the boiler will collapse. If anybody is
standing near it at the time he runs the
risk of being fatally scalded by the
steam, but the boiler stays just where it
was and nothing is wrecked but the boil
er. This is what sometimes happens to
kitchen boilers, which never can, in the
true sense, blow up or explode But
when the boiler is equally strong in ev-
cry part and steam is generated so sud
denly that it has no chance to escape
through the safety valve real explosion
occurs, the boiler is torn from its fasten-
ings and tears through the air like a
tremendous cannon ball. Such an explo-
sion is attended by a general wreck of
everything in the path of the boiler and
usually by horrible fatalities. '-Philadel-
