A STRENUOUS RULER.

From Everybody's Magazine for June.
 The Emperor of Germany usually rises about five o'clock, and is generally to be found in his work-room at six. First there is served to him cup of tea or bouillon and a sandwich. Then, light ing a cigar, he reads over such clippings from newspapers and magazines publish ed all over thes world as are deemed worthy of his attention. At seven o'clock the Emperor is ready to receive the re- ports of his adjutants and the ministers of state, and to this work he usually devotes some three hours. When the person who is to have an audience is ad- mitted to the room and makes his bow, the Emperor, who receives standing by his desk, slightly inclines his head in res- ponse and says Please" as a signal for his visitor to begin, listens attentvely to what he has to communicate, but never makes any comment. The substance of all the visitor has said, however, is con- tained in the paper that he invariably hands to the Emperiors secretary at the close of the audience. These papers are numbered in acordance with the order of their receipt, and after the visitor has deuarted the Emper1or usually writes aipon the fomers communication terse direction to his secretary, so that, if there are in connection with it any papers to be prepared for the imperial signature, they may be ready to hand in the file when Emperor and secretary be- gin their afternoons work.

"sacred" Concerts City Scandal.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 We are In entire agreement with Rev Cortland Myers. the Brooklyn clergyman in the declaration that many of the so- called sacred" performances at the the atres on Sunday are a far greater evil than Sunday baseball. The latter has in itself the merit of being an innocent and healthful outdoor sport, with no nec- essary evil concomitants except, possibly, when played on Sunday. As for the Sun day performances in the theatres, so far from being sacred in any true sense of the term, they are, as rule, of the coursest and most vulgar type demoral- izing in the extreme, and not fit to be seen on any day of the week. Mr. Myers puts the case none too strongly when he says that the scenes enacted in some of these places would cause stone face to blush and the heart of demon to close It's doors." The manner in which these variety shows "get around" the Sunday law Is too thin and farcical to deceive any one except the police authorities. The "sacredness' of these performances is a wretched mockery and a studied in- suit to the morality and intelligence of the community. These centers of pollu- tion have no excuse for being in any time or place, and least of all upon a day set apart for religious observance. If the defenders of the Sabbath will turn their batteries upon these Sunday exhibitions and help to make an end of them, they will be performing a valuable service to the cause of deceney and public morals.

MAKING FIRE INDIAN FASHION.
May be Done Quickly Rubbing Sticks,
 If You Know How.

Ernest Thompson Seton in Country Life
 in America.
 How do the Indians make a fire with out matches?' asked man who loved to play Indian" Most of us have heard the answer to this-'the Indians used flint and steel, as our own fathers and mothers did one hundred years ago, and before they had flint and steel they used rubbing sticks" We have all real about bringing fire out of two sticks by rub ping them together, but, I find that most persons look upon this as a sort of fairy tale, or, if they believe it to be true, they think it so difficult as to be worth no second thought. All woodcrafters, I find, are surprised and greatly interested to learn that not only is it possible-it Is easy to make a friction fire, if you know how. I have taught many boys and men to do 1t, and some have grown so expert that they make it nearly as quickly as with an old-fashioned sulphur match. When I first learned from MT. Walter Hough, who learned from the Indians 1t took me from five to ten minutes to get blazing fire-not half an hour, as some books have it. But later I got 1t down to a minute, then to thirty-one seconds from the time of taking up the rubbing sticks to having a fine blaze; the time in getting the first spark being about six seconds

HOW ROASTING ORIGINATED.
Coffee Taken From sunken Steam boat Roasted to Conceal lnferiority.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Ordinarily one business grows out of another, but the coffee-roasting business has come by accident. Before the Civil War all coffees came to the Lousisvile market green, and every family roasted its own coffee either in the old fashioned cylinder roaster or by the use of large pans placed in hot ovens.
 Recalling the days when he received all his coffe green at the wharf and sold it green at his store, Main street coffee merchant yesterday said: ''The days be- fore the war are also known as the days of the steamboat for there were few railroads in the country then. Business on the baots then was heavy. and many carried nothing but coffee. River disas- ters were also heavy then for the reason that the government paid little attention to clearing out the rivers, and many boat that started from the south with coffee for the old Portland wharf struck a snag and sank in the muddy waters.
 Green coffee of course swells in water, and when a cargo went down it was al- ways considered total loss One day in the 70s big boat coming to Louisville sunk near the bank between Evansville and this city. Two Jews who lived in the neighborhood of the sunken vessel bought the coffee in the hopes of saving most of It before It began to swell. They
