Kaiser Wilhelm's Cooks.

Feeding the Germany Emperor is
no light task. Despite all that is said
about the Kaiser's Spartan habits,
there are few monarchs who keep
more elaborate tables. He has no
fewer than four -Schliedenstuck-
err, a German; Harding, an English
man; an Italian and Il Frenchman-so
that he can have his meals for the day
served in the style CT whatever nation
he may happen to fancy. Each Of
these chefs has his staff Of assistants,
while in addition there is an individ-
ual who may safely be described as
Sausage maker to the Kaiser" His
Majesty is very fond Of the huge
white frankfurter sausage, and has 4
supply Of them made fresh every day
in his own kitchen. When engaged in
maneuvring his army on big field
day these frankfurters and bread in
yariably form the Kaiser's luncheon.
In addition to all these cooks there is q
special staff to prepare meals for the
younger Of the princes and princesses,
who arc not allowed to partakc of the
rich dishes the elder members of the
family indulge i1.-Stray Stories.

BOYS ON A BURNING SHIP.

Eve hundred boys from different
warehouses in London We're put to
school to be trained as sailors on board
the training ship Goliath, This great
ship suddenly caught fire about S
O'Clock one winter morning. 1t was
hardly daylight. In three minutes the
ship was on fire from one end to the
other, and the fire bell rang to call the
boys each to his post
What did they do? Did they cry, or
scream, or fly about in confusion? No;
each ran to his proper place. The boys
had been trained to do it, and no one
forgot himself, nor lost his presence
of mind, but all behaved like men.
Then, when it was found impossible
to save the ship, those who could
swim, at the command of the captain,
jumped into the water and swan for
their lives. Some, at the captains
command got into a boat, and when
the sheets of clouds of flame and smoke
came out of the ship at them, the small
er boys for a moment were frightened
and wanted to push away. But there
was one among them, little mate (his
name was William Bolton), a quiet
boy, much beloved by his comrades,
who had the sense and the courage to
say: ''NO, we must stay and help those
who are still in the ship" He kept
the barge alongside of the Goliath as
long as possible, and was thus the
means of saying more than 100 lives.
And there were others that were
still in the ship while the flames went
on spreading, and they were standing
by the captain who had been so kind
to them all, and whom they loved so
much. In that dreadful moment they
thought more of him than of them
selves, and one threw his arms around
his neck and said, you'll be burned,
Captain" and another said, "Save
yourself, Captain But the captain
said, mo, boys! that is not the way
at sea-"
He meant that the way at sea is 10

This is because he, quite naturally,

clared the feat impossible, show them
how easy it is by doing it Yourself
But you must stand with your back
toward the wall and with your feet
rather far apart and we'll braced, and,
of course, you must bend backward

stick is long enough and firmly
grasped there is little danger of either
falling or failing.

MAKING A TOOL CABINET.

A very convenient tool cabinet that
will hang against the wall may be
made with two doors of nearly equal
SIZE so that there will be four instead
of two surfaces against which to hang
tools. The body of the chest is thirty
inches high, twenty inches wide, and
nine inches deep, outside measure. 1t
is made of wood three quarters of an
inch in thickness, fastened together
with screws and glue, and vanished
to improve its appearance, One side
of the cabinet is but three inches and
q half wide. and to this side the inner
Bdoor is made fast with hinges, so il
will swing in against a stop holding
on the opposite side.
A small bolt on the door will fasten
it in place when shut in, and on both
sides of this door hooks ana pegs can
be arranged on which to hang tools.
Inside the back of the cabinet hooks
and pegs can be arranged also, for
saws. squares and other fiat tools. The
outer door is provided with wide
strip to take the place of the lacking
part Of that side Of the cabinet, and
when the doors are closed in and
locked the appearance of the chest will
be uniform.
With little careful planning and
figuring it will not be difficult mat
fer TO construct this cabinet and the
doors so that they will fit snugly and
close easily. The doors will keep their
shape better If made from narrow
matched boards and held together at
+be ends with battens or strips nailed |
across the ends of the boards. Two
inch wrought butts will be heavy |
enough for the hinges of the doors.

Fortune-telling is traced to the early
astrologers, by whom the planets Jul
piter and Venus were supposed to be-
token happiness. In different parts
of the world, women, known as SibyI-
lac, who were said to be inspired by
Heaven, did fiourishing business in
this branch of occultism. In England
the laws against fortune-telling were
very severe. In France several per-
sons suffered death as the result of a
declaration issued against fortune-telI

On the inside Of The outer door some
tool pegs can be arranged, and near
the bottom a bit rack is made with a
leather strap formed into loops as de-
scribed for the tool rack. Under each
loop a hole is bored in a strip of wood
into which the square end of the bits
will fit, so they will stand vertically

reduced among sheep and cattle

cases still occur, and the disease is

Italy, is the latest remedy, its action
being similar to that of diphtheria an

The tensile strength Of steel at va
rious temperatures has been tested
by C. Bach, who has found an increase
up to 300 degrees c., and a decrease
at greater heat. One specimen, for
example, showed a tensile strength of
twenty-seven tons per square inch at
ordinary temperature, 30.7 tons at 300
degrees, and 1871 tons at $50 degrees.
The effects of compression were less
at 200 degrees than at ordinary tenn
perature or at 300 degrees or higher.
Prolonged action of the load had no
effect on the tensile strength at ordi-
nary temperature, but caused a slight
decrease at 800 degrees and a still
greater decrease between 400 degrees
and 500 degrees. 1t is made evident
that steel for steam boilers, piping,
etc, should be tested at higher as well
as ordinary temperature.
