TALES BY THE WAY.

A Berlin photographer relates a
characteristic anecdote of Bismarck.
Early i'm the '70's the German emperor
asked him to prepare an album con-
tanning the photographs of the men
who had done conspicuous service in
behalf of the empire, including Bis
rlarck and Won Moltke. After he had
taken several pictures of Bismarck he
said: "The emperor wants me also to
tske a life size, half-length photograph
of you" "In that case" replied Bis
narck, II must put on my sleighing
harness" The astonished photograph
or presently discovered that Bismarck
meant his dress uniform, which had
so many orders and crosses on it that
they jingled like sleigh bells.
Here is a story of the German en-
peror which the English narrator sets
down as distinctly characteristic" of
the kaiser. When his imperial majesty
was staying with Lord Lonsdale fell
low guest, talking to another across
the table, quoted a line from Shakes
Ieare, adding the words, las the divine
William said" The emperor heard the
quotation. and, turning to his host,
said, with a puzzled look: "Curiously
enough, | do not remember that my
sainted grandfather ever said that.

rates the Germans for their loud talk

BEAUTY HINTS.

Greasy preparations used too freely

A nightly massaging of the forehead
with the tips of the fingers will do
wonders in smoothing out wrinkles.
Don't use lemon juice too often on
the hands. Try white vinegar instead.
Lemon juice shrivels and makes vel

Cold cream rubbed around the finger
nails will counteract the tendency TO

the nails soft and fresh looking.
One dram of bOric acid mixed with
four ounces of distilled witch hazel
makes a good lotion for a greasy skin.
Apply with a soft cloth or velvet

For dry hair an effective wash is one
part glycerin to three parts rose water,
with five grams of salt of tartar to
about one-half pint of the lotion. All
lotions must be well shaken before
