A KNICKERBOCKER FROM OVER
THE SEA.
When Paul Rhinelander, an Am
erican student ut the famous old Ger
man university Of Heidelberg, saunter-
ed idly along the aisles Of the great
public garten he had entered, it was
wonderful spectacle that greeted his
vision in every direction.
To young Rhinelander the kaleido-
scopic spectacle was NO new sight,
though 1t had never lost Its charm In
his eyes. AS Paul came stroliing by.
. student. who wore the dark blue cap,
I!gnifying that he belonged to the
rhine Korps, put out his hand and
tackled him.
1t was evident from the momentary
dash of pleasure that appeared
upon the face of the American that
this yelIow-haired young athlete was
at least of more importance to him
than the average run of students with
whom fortune threw him in contact.
AS they sat together at table and
chatted over the foamy beakers their
conversation naturally covered the
whole range Of subjects that might be
supposed to interest students. Paul's
eyes at last settled upon a certain
table at which sat a number of per-
sons
Karl saw him start and evince un-
usual eagerness-when Paul turned to
him his face was possibly as impassive
as ever, but in his eyes fierce light
had famed up that announced a pur-
pose on the eve Of accomplishment.
Pardon me. my friend, but you
know, as comparatiye newcomer
here. have not yet made the ac-
quaintance of all students who have
distinguished themselves in the battle
Of the books or the sword. do not
remember seeing yonder young fellow
before, and yet. unless my eyes de-
ceive me, he wears the insignia that
marks him leader among the Saxo-
Prussians."
He is a terror with the rapier, a
wizard. my fencing master has de-
clared. I myself was accounted some
thing fair. but Hoffman made sport

Karl turned In swift anger. What.
you, too. are q victim OF her fatal
beauty. Perhaps she has lured you ON

and sweet phrases, the jade! But I
have sworn that NO man shall step

Rhine. and We nght for those we love,

But Paul only laughed.
Reserve your fighting arm for your

am done with him. Yea, ! love that
sweet girl. my dear fellow, and why
not, when she IL my own sister!"

Among the many strange GrowsnEs
apparently freaks of nature which are
to hc found in New Zealand the vcge-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
eral inches in length. is hairless and
does not differ essentially in appear
ancc from some of the caterpillars OF
our own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the fact
that when it Gets ready to die it digs a
hole for itself in the earth and COM
nletely bUriHs itself. Later q slender
green shoot springs from the spot. This
h@:,r:, two or more leaves near its top.
Upon Investigation it is found that
the greer shoot springs from the head
oi the dead caterpillar, and further in
NcSti2aton develops the fact that the
body Of the caterpillar is filed With
roots.
The form IS retained without change,
and the roots de not pierce through the
skin or enter the 4rGund. When dug
UP, this dead yet living freak presents
q most odd appearance, for the head
ard even the eyes 0l the caterpillar are
distinctly seen, yet from the head is
growing the green sprout, with its

nnrd to Tell Chinamnn's Age.

How old is a Chinaman? Can YOU
give good guess? 1t is harder to tell
than the ;;ge of a negro. The Chinaman
has no beard. and his hair is Of a jet
and glossy blacllness, which turns gray
only at an extreme age, when Il Cauca
sian head would be either snow white
or bald. Then again the Chinese have
the most perfect nervous system of
any people in the world and Go not
wrinlls up with age. They can stand
any amount Of opium smoking without
material injury that would send
white man to his grave or an insane
asylum. SO you have little to go by. A
Chinanan will look thirty when he is
twenty and when he is fifty. If you
ask him his age. he will place it at
least ten years ahead, for he holds old
age to be honorable, and among his
people he will be respected and looked
up to by. all his Washington

this has grown TO a magnificent
event, unsurpassed IN its Splendid
surroundings and Interesting partlc-

International in its character, To-
Gated on the border line between the
two Great Republics, occurring at a
season OF the year when business
cares press lightly, and ut time
when weather conditions in that To-
cality are Ideal, this event offers un-
surpassed inducements to the pleas
ure-seeker.
This year the celebration will con-
sist OF three days continuous festivi-
ties, Feb. 2lst, 22d and 23d. the prin-
cipal day OF course being the 22d, and
the program, which is very elaborate,
will comprise several new and inter-
esting features among which may be
mentioned daylight and night bull

alton, torchlight parades, embody-
ing typical Mexican and Indian
features, sham battle and capture Of
