ADMIRES AMERICAN POLICE.
German Omcial, Sent Over by Kaiser,
Makes Enthusiastic Report of
His Observations.

Herr Bernsdorff, the police president
of Potsdam, has forwarded to the kali
ser his report on his study of police
methods in America. New York he
explored under the guidance of de-
tective sergeant who was placed at his
disposal by Gen. Greene. Herr Berns-
dorff says he was especially struck by
the absence of immoral women on the
streets and at dancing halls. He high
ly approves of the New York police sta
ton houses owned by the city, which he
said was better system than that of
Berlin, where they were all rented
premises.
Emperor William was the moving
spirit in the visit of Herr Bernsdorf
and his five companions. The emperor
was talking to group of subalterns at
the Casino of Potsdam early in Decem-
Der and asked them where they were
going on their holidays. One was 60
ing to Paris and another intended to
visit Bohemia.
"Why don't you go where you can
learn something's" interrupted the en-
pC1OIs W. " AIuOAASds LOu ShoAA 3
as my guests, and tell me all about it
when you come back"
He thereupon selected a party, in
GLIDING Count Won Bernsdorff. The en-
peror paid all expenses.
The count in conversation said he es-
pecially admired the size of New York
policemen, their smart uniforms, and
their courtesy.
"But," the count added, using re-
cent addition to his vocabulary, "the
Americans have money to throw at the
BIRDS"
Since his return Count Won Berns-
dorf has timed the Berlin fremen in
responding to calls. He found that it
takes three or four minutes to start an
engine there, and contrasted this with
New York's 80 seconds to do the same
thing.

-,rae stind OF the Modern Actor.


The mind of the modern actor-We
speak, Of course, Of the many, not OF
ALLIES in his dancing legs, his sios
splitting grinaces, his business his
exaggerations of peculiar lives Of to-
day. The mind thus devoted to the
lighter tasks of joc;!jarity, skipping
also from one authors jokes to those
of another on moments notice, as its
possessor skips from town to town and
from stage to stage, is not mind that
can suddenly turn to the contemplation
and the study Of Shakespeare with any
hope that the lines of the poet will get
tie better Of the encounter. The actor
who is to play Shakespeare acceptably
must not frivol away his intellectual
dignity. One cannot sing Mary Had
q Little Lamb" with all the enthusi-
asm of his soul for 300 nights and
hope to be equal to the Aagnifcat or
Te Deum or Siegfried's Rhine journey
on the three hundred and first night.
The tasks to which the modern English
and American manager puts the Eng
lish and American actor have destroy
ed the old school of Shakespeare ac-
tors. Now, we are not saying that
this is not for the best; that in the
processes Of the evolution of the arts
the theater has not naturally become
what it is.-Iarper's Weekly.

The EnneynOon.

It is said by some authorities that
the honeymoon, or month after mar
rage. takes its sweet sounding title
from practice of the ancient Teutons,
who drank honey wine (hydromeD for
thirty days after q wedding.

ton is found in associations common

month and moon have come to US from
one source, the Anglo-Saxon mona,
which is formed from an old root, ma,
to measure The moon thus measures
time, and Dryden links it with its
kindred month when he speaks Of zone

equivalent for anything enjoyable and
sweet, and Shakespeare attaches it

Anthony Trollope has used honey

moon and month-"Sometimes the par
ties fly asunder even in the midst Of
courtship and sometimes grow cool IN
the very honey month"

Solouon's Horses.

BY a great many people Arabia Is
supposed to be the home of the horse.
From ancient Roman, Grecian and
Jewish history We readily learn that
the horse was unknown in Arabia long
after he was a common factor in the
life Of southern Europe. The horse
was scarcely known to the Hebrews
prior to the days Of SoloNon, that
worthy and illustrious sovereign hav-
ing been brought into closer contact
with the horse by his marriage to q
daughter Of Pharaoh, the reigning king
Of Egypt, whose gorgeous wedding out
fit was supplemented by a large mum.
Der Of elegant horses, adapted alike to
the service of war and the chase.
The appearance Of those beautiful
animals as they sped swiftly along the
streets Of Jerusalem excited the envy
Of a few jealous princes, but added to
Solomon's popularity with the masses.
After his marriage with the Egyptian
princess Solomon began buying horses
from his father-in-law, and so rapidly
did he multiply them by purchase and
breeding that those kept for his own
use required, as it is written, 1000
stables and 10000 stalls"

TI,n CrNWn.

There is no mention OF crowns before
the eighth century after Christ. The
crown really did not become the head
covering of kings until the times OF the
Christian rulers after the might and
power of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the crownlng was
done with a helmet. This change in the
method Of crowning the rulers IS typ
ical Of the changes that occurred IN
the spirit that animated nations ano
races in the selection Of their kings.
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patri-
archal forms Of government, were Sc
lectcd almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders in war. Thus,
gradually, the chief Of the army be-
came the chief Of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings were military
despots. Then, with the prevalence Of
Christianity and the overthrow Of the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed to rule by divine right.
They, too, were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning,
but the world had progressed far
enough to demand more proof OF au-
thority to rule than mere brute power.

He,v. Sleigh Bells Are Made.

'The making Of sleigh bells Is quite
an art" says an iron founder. The
little iron ball is too big to be put IN
through the holes in the bell, and yet
it is inside. How did it get there? The
little iron ball is called the jinglet.'
When you shake the sleigh bell # jim
giles. In making the bell the jinglet is
put inside Il little ball Of mud, just the
shape OF the inside Of the bell. Then
q mold is made. just the shape of the
outside Of the bell. This mud ball with
the jingIet inside is placed in the mold
Of the outside, and the metal IS poured
in, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold.
when the mold is taken off, you see
a Sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as it
IS full of dirt. The hot metal that the
bell is made Of dries the dirt so that
it can be shaken out. After the dirt
is all shaken out of the holes in the
bell the little iron jinglet will still be
in the bell and will ring. 1t took q
good many years to think out how to
make sleigh bell"

His Cnspoken Opinion.

Richard NJ Hunt, the artist, honest
In his opinion and blunt in its express
sion, was appreciated by budding stu
dents. What he said in criticism some
times necessitated the destruction Of a
picture, but the advice eventually was
profitable.
A lady called on Mr.. Hunt one day,
requesting him to select frame suit
able for sketch which dear nephew
had painted "a frame in harmony
with the thought suggested by the pic
ture," was desired.
Artist Hunt betook himself to the
woods. \ few days after he called on
a picture dealer, saying that he wished
the sketch framed in the material he
had collected.
"Imrossible!w exclaimed the picture
dealer. Cant frame the picture with
this stuff. It's rotten wood"

MankinG's Progress.

Of the flower wither that the fruit

springing always from moral power,

luster and to warriors their only glory,
surviving martyrloms and safe amid

Rr1>rs hy niyine Right.

Charlemagne was the first great
ruler who proclaimed himself king and
emperor by divine right. He did not
allese, however, that the divine right
had come to him direct from heaven,
but based his claim on the fact that
the bishop Of Rome, then the spiritual
ruler of the Christian world, had
anoiated him and placed the crown Of
the holy Roman empire on his head.
The term "Dei Cratia" ("by divine
right" or "the grace Of God'') was thus
used to express the right to rule as
coming from the head Of the church
until the days Of Luther and the refor-
nation. Then the power Of the church
was so. shaken that rulers no longer
felt sure that they could rest unchal-
lenged on their right to rule as given
to them by Rome. So the term by
divine right became construed as
meaning that the kings ruled by right
Of Gods will as expressed in the Old
Testament, in which God is recorded
as having chosen kings himself to rule
the people.-Exchange.

A QUEER BUSINESS.
The Way Houses on Fire Were
Bought In Ancient Rome.

Bought In Ancient Rome.
One Of the strangest businesses IN
ancient Rome is mentioned By Juvenal
in bis satires. It consisted Of buying
houses on fire. The speculator hurried
to the scene, attended by slaves carry
ing bags Of money and others carrying
tools, judged the chances OF savage
and made a bid to the distracted mouse
owner. who was glad to accept any
thing. as rule. The bargain struck IN
all haste, this earliest of fire assurers
set his slaves to work and secured
what he could. Sometimes even ne put
out the flames and so made coup.
It was business for capitalists, cut
the poorest who speculated In smaiI
vav could hardly lose If he had pres
ence Of mind enough to grasp the
chances. Thus Cato the Elder, as
we'll as Crassus, laid the foundation
of his great wealth. He gradually
collected force Of carpenters, masons
and such artiiccrs Of course
which reached 500 men. Not only did
he buy houses on fire, but also, enlarg-
ing upon the common practice, he made
a bid for those adjoining which stood
in danger His proposals were COM
monty welcome, we learn, so helpless
were the people and so great the peril.
By this means Crassus became the
greatest owner Of house property IN
Rome.

One OF the Only ..xe1.s, Plays.

Al ancient baseball fan tells this
story to illustrate the quickness and
thickness of Mike Kelly, the one time
king of the green diamond:
"a game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching, and Mike
Kelly was sitting on the bench when a
foul which Bennett could not possibly
get goes up in the air toward the
bench, and Kelly, being captain, yells
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out of the game, and at the same time
he puts on a mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangling long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
in play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by a player in the
game, so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought Of
Kelly, even if it did not work"

Curious Mathematical Fact.

There is a certain popular young
lawyer in Atlanta who when in college
was known as tie best mathematician
in his class. He is still much interest
ed in knotty questions Of figures, and
he propounded query on the street
yesterday that none Of dozen men
could answer.
"Take any two consecutive num-
bers," he said, Say four and five;
square them and subtract the lesser
result from the greater, and the num-
Der you have is the same as the sum
Of the numbers you started within
this case four and FIVE, their sum being
nine.
"This will work out every time, no
matter what two consecutive numbers
you take The rule is we'll known, but
I have never been able to find an ex-
PLANTATION Of it. Why is this always
true, and can any one explain it to
me?'
His hearers figured long, but none
was able to tell why the sum of the
two consecutive numbers is equal to
the difference Of their squares.-Atlan-
ia Constitution.

The Term t.Greenhorn."

The term "greenhorn' originated IN
this way: The pioneers Of the west
were much given to hunting deer. 1t
was a fact known to the early settlers
that when the Eorn of fawn began to
grow there was q ring Of green hair
around the spot where the horn was
coming out. It-was considered dis
graceful thing for a hunter to Kill
fawn, cruel act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth Of the
horn. There was sort Of unwritten
law that no one should kill a male
fawn before it's horns could be seen.
Aperson who was so unthoughful as
to kill deer under the proper age was
calleda ""greenhorn." He was so named
because the young horn Of the deer and
the hair around itwere still green. The
use Of the appellation gradually spread
until it was applied to all raw or mex
perienced youths or persons easily i'm
posed upon.
