THE KAISER AND HIS MOTHER
He Blamed Her for the Fact that He
Carried a Crippled Arm.
New York Journal:

New York Journal:
1t is now well known that the German
Emperor, while thoroughly dutiful to his
mother IN all outward forms, was not at all
In sympathy with her-in fact, that he
failed to show toward his own mother the
sentiments which he was fond Of preaching
In public. The cause of this strange atti-
tude Of the son will interest all Germans:
The late DR.. Brown-Sequard, Of Paris,
examined the present German Emperor
when he was a very little boy, three or
four years old. DR.. Brown-Sequard told
this writer the cause of the German En-
peror's bitterness. When he was born his
mother, the late Dowager Empress Fred
erick. was travelling about the country. The
birth was sudden, and the Empress. then
the Crown Princess Of Prussia, necessarily
had TO be taken care of by a country doc
tor in small village The little doctor was
terribly frightened, and ignorant as well,
probably. If he had not been told who his
patient was he might have done fairly we'll
But in his anxiety he injured the baby.

the shoulder-the arm has been crippled
ever since. The German Emperor, devoted
TO military achievements, resents bitterly
the fact that he is cripple, and the fact
that he has "A wooden hand coming out Of
one of his sleeves. He never forgave his
mother for the untimely journey which
ended in Gripping him.
DR.. Brown-Sequard was called TO Wind
sOr Castle 10 see the royal baby, who was
then stopping with his grandmother Queen
Victoria. He told the mother and grand
mother that IL would have been possible TO
cure the child had one competent doctor
been put in charge of the matter and
trusted But so many doctors had been
called in. and so many things tried. that
it was useless TO do anything. He refused
TO undertake the case.

EXPENSIVE DRUGS.
Prescriptions Costly Enough to
StartIe Purchaser.

StartIe Purchaser.
'See that man just going out?" asked the
druggist.
1 nodded assent.
He just paid me SIS for prescription.
I had the camphor bottle ready in case he
showed signs of fainting when told him
the price, but he had good nerve, or else
the doctor had given him pointer on the
drug he had prescribed, which is the most
likely explanation
What was the drug?" / asked.
PSEUDO physestigmine 1t is too aristo-
cratic a drug to have common name. One
grain of it costs dollar, or an ounce costs

know its history"

"Well, it is a seed which grows in India,
in Brazil and in parts of South Africa. 1t
was once used by the native chiefs, tradi-
ton says, as a diviner of secrets. When a
man was suspected of wrongdoing he was
given one of these seeds to swallow. If he
died-which he usually did-then his guilt
was accepted as proven. 1t was conven-
lent method, and much more simple than
lawsuits. The drug as we use it, is a prepa-
ration from these seeds, and it is used in
certain cases Of heart disease.
I'VE have other expensive drugs, too.
some that are worth their weight in gold.
or, in other words. just 500 ounce, and
some that are worth more than that. Musk.
for instance, is $50 an ounce, or 5000 a
pound. This is two and one-half times the
value of A-karat gold. and the price is
steadily advancing
Why? Well because each ounce of
musk represents rare and valuable ami
NAL, and these animals are becoming more
and more scarce. The drug comes from the
musk deer, which, like the buffalo, is being
exterminated. The animal is rarely found
now. The musk Is contained in a single
follicle.
THE demand for musk as a perfume is
steady, and in spite Of its high price this
demand is always greater than the supply"

bishops and priests took part clad in full

be carried on With one individual, he to
