Kaiser Cannot Sing.
From the New York Globe.
"SOmetfmes tho ayunaror ;o,n.

sometimes the emperor joins the en-
press at the piano. and sings with her a
part-song," according to a chronicler of the
kaiser's daily habits Of life But one
thing denied to his majesty, otherwise so
versatile, is the gift of song. He has writ
ten several songs-notably his famous "Ode
to Aegir, but, like Burns, he cannot sing
them himself His voice is particularly
harsh, so much so that an effort on his part
to sing would sound like the tearing of
calico. 1t is much pleasanter to read his
orations than to listen to them: for in the
latter case his audience are under the dis
agreeable impression produced by his harsh,
cultural, imperfous tones, more suggestive
of the parade ground than piano side.

He said that while George Eliot treats
marriage as the chief event of her her
