Defends THE KAISER.
Von Bueloso Arassrers Charge That
He Has Disturbed the Peace.

Berlin, Dec. Am the Reichstag to-day
Prince von BuIow, the Imperial Chancellor, re-
plying to the criticism Of the Socialists that
Germaay's foreign policy was calculated to dis
turb the peace of the world, ernphatically re-
PEELED the assertion that the German Emperor,
-4who for eighteen years had given so many
proofs of his honest love of peace" was in any
way disturber OF that peace Last summer,
said the Chancellor, while the Emperor was in
Denmark, among the newspaper clippings sent
to him from Germany was containing the
words:
Emperor William has no warlike plans. That
lies in the nature of things and in the char
acter Of the people over whose head the EN-
peror is placed.
The Chancellor said that the Emperor wrote
on a margin of this clipping:
Right, as said literally to-day to the King
Of Denmark.
The reason so many Englishrnen believe that
Germany is a disturber of the peace said the
Chancellor, was to be found in the speeches of
the Socialists, which so represent Germany
role.
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, who pre-
ceded Prince Won Bulow. referred TO the orders
OF Lieutenant General Won TIotha, commander
of the troops in German Southwest Africa as
unworthy of q civilized nation. He said that
shown by clerical organ, had cost the country
5000, 100000, yet that Baron Won Stengel Secre-
Iary OF the Imperial Treasury yesterday laid
Christmas present for the Reichstag upon the
table in the shape Of q special appropriation bill
for s7,500e00 more for the wars in Africa

Largest Flower in World.

The raff1esia is strange plant. It
grows in Sumatra and derives it's name
from Sir Stamford Raffies, governor Of
Sumatra at one time, and his friend
DR.. Arnold, naturalist, says the De-
troit News-Tribune. They were the
first white men to discover the won
derful plant. 1t is said to be the larg-
est and most magnificent flower in the
world.
1t is composed Of five roundish pet
ais each a foot across and Of brick
red color, covered with numerous irreg-
ular yellowish white swellings. The
petals surround a cup nearly a foot
wide, the margin of which bears the
StamenS.
This cup is filled with a feshy disk,
the upper surface of which is every
where covered with projections like
miniature cows horns. The cup when
free from it's contents would hold
about twelve pints Of water. The
flower weighs fifteen pounds. 1t Is
very thick, the petals being three-quar-
tiers of an inch in thickness.
With it's beauty one is led to expect
sweetness, but it's odor is that of faint
ed beef, and DR.. Arnold supposed that
even the flies were deceived by the
smell and were depositing their eggs
in the thick disk, taking it for a piece
of carrion.

The Jap Baby.

How do you suppose the babies take
an airing? In baby carriages, you say?
OF course not; the japanese never do
anything the way we do it. When the
baby's about three days old, it goes
out for it's first glimpse of the world
strapped on somebody's back, and
that's the way it goes every day till 1t
can go in it's own feet. Sometimes it's
mother or it's nurse takes it, but very
often it rides on the back Of brother
or sister, who is perhaps not more than
4 or years old. These little nurses
don't seem to be troubled at all by
their charges, as you would suppose;
they play ball and tag, and run races
and fly kites, in spite Of the heavy
loads on their backs. What is more re-
markable, the babies are perfectly
happy; and hardly ever cry, though
when their young nurses run with
them, the poor babies faces bang back
and forth against their caretakers'
shoulders till an American baby would
howl with pain and rage.-St. Nicho-
las.
