Kaiser Has Sworn Off.
News comes from Berlin that the
Kaiser, who was as inveterate smoker
as his uncle. King Edward VII. has
| sworn off" smoking. He used to smoke
from twelve TO fifteen cigars daily
Such strenuous smoking began to In

vice of his physicians. he "tapered on
on his smoking, and now has quit alto
g.ther.
IT took the Kaiser a. long time TO
| break himself of the habit In this re-
spect he displayed less will power than
| the late King Humbert of Italy, a con-
slant smoker. who, being ordered by his
doctors to taper off, said: Il shall
quit instantly" And he did.
Not only does the Kaiser not smoke

Lord Clonmcll. like other Irish peers. IS

the recklessness Of one of Levers

as the scene of a duel 10 the death be-

In Berlin Cupid is getting the cold

number Of marriages is decreasing an

year there We're go fewer weddings regis

In Berlin, as in other large European.

Young men are likewise cautious. and
