Kaiser Wi1helm's Cooks.

Feeding the German emperor is no
light task Despite all that is said
about the kaiser's Spartan habits there
are few monarchs who keep more elab-
crate tables. He has four chefs-Schlie-
denstucker, a German; Harding, an
Englishman; an italian and French
man-so that he can have his meals
for the day served in the style of what
ever nation he may happen to fancy.
Each of these chefs has his staff of
assistants, while in addition there is
an individual who may safely be de-
scribed as sausage maker to the
kaiser" His majesty is very fond of
the huge white frankfurter sausage.

Earlier Than Ever Before.
There never was n presidential cleo
ton when the people at large knew so
we'll "how things were going on cleo
ton night and had positive informa-
ton of the final results so early as this
year. The reason was simply that the
news was distributed more promptly
and more widely than ever before, and
this was made possible by the remark
able extension Of the telephone system
within even the last four years.
Heretofore he who wanted early in

were reserved on the trunk lines of
the long distance service connecting

wire ran.
There is always heavy pressure on

The Telephone Ear.

A peculiar development Of the sense
Of hearing has been discovered as be-
ing the result of the use Of the tele-
phone. Most people when using the
instrument hold the receiver to the
left ear because it comes more natural
to adjust the mouthplece with the right
hand. So it happens that from an ex-
tensive use of the telephone the hear
ing of the left ear is sharpened at the
expense of the right. In the majority
Of cases the difference between the two
is not very great, but in some persons
1t is alarmingly so. The sensitive
nerves are so irritated by the sound
coming directly on them and in tone
which is strange that it sets up re
action which has a cumulative effect
and upsets them.

There are not 10000 millionaires-

or $193, OO0-in all France.
All the streets named after saints in
the French town of Dijon are to be
secularized, in accordance with a reso-
luton Of the Socialist majority.
Paris swarms with automobiles, but
the local statistician finds that the
number Of horses employed there
shows no diminution. There have been
a trifle less than 100000 Of the latter in
service in that city in recent years.
When the size of France was calcu-
lated after the war with Prussia It
was stated to be 52O.4OO square kilome-
tiers. It has been found that the figure
was too small by 16,491 square kilome-
tiers and that the error was due to the
shrinkage Of the paper on which the
maps were drawn.
