Echo of Bismark's Dismissal.

A new version of the events leading
up to Prince Bismarck's dismissal
from the post of imperial chancellor
is furnished by the Aargauer Mach
richten, which the Berliner Tageblatt
regards as not improbable According
to this account, which is published in
connection with the death of DR.. Roth,
late Swiss minister in Berlin, the
Swiss federal council in 1890 desired
a workmen's conference to be held at
Berne. whereas Emperor William
II. convened labor conference at Ber-
lin, to which Prince Bismarck object
ed. The imperial chancellor there
upon privately visited DR.. Roth and
pressed him to insist on Berne as the
seat of the conference. The emperor,
hearing of Prince Bismarck's visit.
himself went to DR.. Roth at dead of
night and satisfied himself of the truth
OF the report. The following day the
emperor dismissed Prince Bismarck
and at the same time presented Dr..
Roth with a portrait of himself, bear
ing the autograph inscriptions: IN
memory of March 10, 890"-London

THE OLD BOOKS.

Out yonder. prim upon the shelves,
The ones in better bindings stand
Contented with their lordly selves
And barring the familiar hand:
Slim volumes that are fain to hide
FROM common touch, behind the glass
And fat ones, too, whose heavy pride
Bids all the curious to pass
But here the old bookcase we find,
Where dog scared volumes, sadly worn
In coverings of every kind,
Some ragged, broken backed and torn
Are ranged in thoughtless disarray
With no regard for worth or size
The grave hobnobbing with the gay.
The foolish brothering the wise,
NO great cOnceit of dress is theirs:
No pride of outer excellence;
But each its common binding wears
And holds it's worth in evidence,
For when we take it in our hands,
With that precision born of age
The old time volume understands
And opens to the oft-read page.
The old books are the best of all:
The old books we have read so long
Their pages lips whence softly fall
The treasured story or the song
Here, In the old bookcase, they wait.
Not as the ones that ne'er unbend-
But, comfortable and sedate,
Each lounges as a favored friend.

heralded by the high-sounding trill
from the tree top, and her husband
whirled out of the tangled vines to
take the morsal she carried.
But what of his actions? He had
either gone crazy or he was q most
selfish little tyrant, for he few about
the alder stump, calling now in a soft
er tone to his children within, and
finally swallowed the grub himself.
Two or three times he did this, until
I was so disguised I could hardly en-
dure him. If he were hungry, why
could he not skirmish for his own
bugs?
While was Gliding him for his in
famous action, the mother appeared
with a large moth, which he readily
took. Among the alder limbs the
father flew. and finally up to the nest
hole, out OF which was issuing such a
series of hungry screams as no parent
with the least bit of devotion could
resist. Hardly could believe my
eyes, for the little knave just went to
the door, where each hungry Nesting
could get a good view of the morsel,
then, as if scolding the little ones for
being so noisy and hungry, he hoped
back down the tree into the bushes.
This was indeed cause for a family
revolt. The brown nesting nearest
the door grew so bold with hunger
that he forgot his fear and plunged
headlong down, catching in the
branches below where the father
perched. And the precocious young
ster got the large moth as a reward
for his bravery.
Not till then did it dawn upon me
that there was a reason for the faith
er's queer actions. The wrenlets were
old enough to leave the nest. Outside
in the warm sunshine they could be
fed more easily and would grow more
rapidly, and they could be taught the
ways of woodcraft. In half an hour.
one after another, the little wrens had
been persuaded, even compelled. to
leave the narrow confines of the nest
and launch out into the big world

CAT ADOPTS MOUSE FAMILY
Big Maltese Has Pity for Four Little
Rodent Orphans and Takes
Care of Them.

Busy Body, big Maltese cat which
makes her home at the Indianapolis
Union railway shops, in Indianapolis.
and is the pet of every one, from the
president down to the humble employe
of the road, after establishing record
OF killing more than 10000 rats and
mice, has, with charming feline incon-
sistency, adopted four tiny mice, says
the Indianapolis Sun.
Three weeks ago Busy Body gave birth
to four kittens, and with them seemed in
an ecstasy of happiness. But the little
fellows required such large amount of
nourishment that she began to look
emaciated and good rat or mouse diet
was suggested for her.
One afternoon workmen about the
shops discovered a nest OF six mice in a
saWdust pile, and, thinking of the faith
full "tabby," caught them for her. They
were alive when thrown into her box,
and the men expected to see an imme-
date slaughter.t..
Imagine their surprise when Busy
Body merely looked up rather sleepily,

them over and then, as they nestled be-
meath her, went back to sleep. Since
then she has looked after them tenderly,
as much as she has her kittens, and the
kittens and mice take, their nourish-
;ment, side by side.
One of the mice died and another lost
its life through an experiment. The
men thought that if cat would act so
remarkably with Mouse a dog
would surely do likewise. One Of them
was carried to Fanny, a dog which is
nursing litter of pups, for inspection.
The inspection was brief one, and be-
fore the men could prevent her Fanny
had swallowed the mouse whole.
Busy Body is six years old. She was
taken to the Union railway shops three
years ago after she had lost an eye,
which disfigured her countenance. The
shops were formerly overrun with rats
and mice, but she has gained remark
able record for killing them. and it il
asserted that no less than 10000 is tho
number of her victims. s

HIGH TIDE CAUSED OVERFLOW.

People Rescued from Flooded Houses
BY the Police.
New York, April 29.-Twenty-five
families have been driven from their
homes in ST. Raymond's Park, Bronx
borough, by the overfowing of the
waters of Cedric creek, caused by an
unusually high tide. Property was
damaged to the extent Of several
thousand dollars. Fifty persons were
rescued from the flooded houses by
the police.
So quickly did the flood appear that
few persons had time to escape. Base.
ments were flooded and the water in
many houses filled the lower floors,
The foundations of many buildings
were loosened.
