The Kaiser,s Pipe.

The German emperor seems bent on
breaking fresh ground in every direc-
ton, for we learn that on going ashore
at Helgoland the other day he was
wearing oilskins and smoking a short
pipe" probably a French brier, unless
indeed it may have been an Irish clay
Guilty. This is quite a new departure,
like his maiesty's recent assumption Of
a pince nez when reading newspapers
in the train When he began his. reign
the kaiser smoked nothing but ciga-
rettes very long and big ones they
were, and from these he gradually as
cended to light Dutch cigars, almost Of
straw color, costing penny each.
Now he has taken to pipe such as
may be seen between the teeth of
yachtsmen at Cowes. His father, the
Emperor Frederick, took his tobacco in
a porcelain pipe of the student type.
The old emperor, on the other hand,
true to the tradition of his youth, new
er went beyond raising a cigarette to
his lips at military messes and shooting
parties as a signal to the rest of the
company that they might now light up.

The idea of sanctity usually carries
with it suggestion of poverty, and 1t
may seem a contradiction to refer
to the Jewels Of a saint. 1t has been
customary for painters who choose for
their subjects saints or martyrs to
treat them with the utmost simplicity.
In majority of cases they are depict
ed as devoid Of ornament or decora-
ton, and in the few exceptional in
stances, as when the subject of the pic
ture is ruler or king, the gems are
few and purely symbolic, being sufti-
cient only to denote the rank of the in
dividual portrayed.
Raphael, who was perhaps the great
est painter of religious subjects the
world has known, has in most of his
works adhered strictly to this rule, but
in the head of est Cecilia" is to be no
ticed departure from 1t. A row Of
pearls, to which are attached three
pendants, ornaments her gown at the
neck. and this is her only jewelry The

gems, themselves the emblems Of chas-

rha I.smat OF Train speed.

A recent test Of speed on the Penn
syivania railway proves conclusively
that the accounts of trains attaining a
speed of 100 miles an hour, even for a
short distance, are apocryphal. Over
a stretch of twenty-five miles of per
feet track on the New Jersey and Sea-
shore division the Pennsylvania off
Gals ran train with their fastest
engines, and ninety miles an hour was
the highest rate ever reached. One
coach after another was dropped, and
finally, with the engine alone, on sew

tenth was the best that could be done.
The distance was accurately measured,
and the chronograph used in the tests

QUEER FOOD IN EUROPE.

Black Rubber and SILK Chopped UP

made into fine "Strassburger' pate de

chopped and cleverly distributed pieces
of black silk, representing truffies.
Cosmos, a German paper, guarantees
the fact that under the label OF
canned Holsters the soft parts of the
cuttlefish and crabs are sold.
In Paris snails are of late very popu-
lar, and the adulterators mix them
with lungs of cattle and horses. Even
entirely artificial snails are manufac-
tured. The shells, recoated with fat
and slime, are filed with lung and then
sold as Burgundy" snails.

who have examined 1t say 1t is petri-
