THE KAISER IN THE COUNTRY.
Simple life Of the Emperor NJ Cadinen.
Near EIbing.

Near Elbing.
When the German Emperor took his Kiel
guests to Cadinen they saw the house in
which the German royal family Ives most
at home. In this north German retreat,
only two miles from the commercial city
OF Elbing, all the ceremony of court life
Is put aside.
The retirement and privacy in which the
royal family lives here used TO cause great
anxiety among those intrusted with the
care Of their safety. The fact that the
neighboring town Of Elbing is almost en-
tirely Socialist Democratic did not tend to
decrease their apprehension.
The couTtiers used always to see that the
city was Stunned on the journeys TO Cadinen,
although Elbing ia the nearest railroad
station. Formerly the Kaiser used to drive
several hours up and down hill to Guelden-
boden. where the royal train awaited him.
The Kaiser objected to this, and a number
Of armed policemen and detectives we're
sent from Berlin who. in various DISCUSSES,
mingled with the people to insure the safety
Of the Emperor. Even then he was not
allowed to take the train at Elbing, but had
to go aboard several kilometres from the
station. This was too much for the Kaiser.

show more confidence in the population Of

Nowadays the royal train brings its
passengers into the station and they mingle

the ordinary police Of the town are sufficient
to insure their safety.

Kingdom OF SaxOny the Centre o. Cynoph.
agy-tse Authorized by Law.
Not only is the flesh Of horses and mules
eaten in Germany almost as much as in
France. but also there is a growing con-
sumption OF dog meat. and in some locali-
ties dogs are fattened for market, and there
are even special abattoirs for Strengthening
them. The use OF dog meat il said TO have
had it's origin in Saxony, and there are
statistics going as far back al 1869. But on
June 3, 1900, a law was passed which author
Ives the sale and consumption of dog all
over the German empire.
DIR. Villapadierna, a Spanish physician,
who investigated the subject and prepared
a report on 1t. is quoted by a Paris paper
az saying that the growth in Saxony is
steady. In 1859 the number Of dogs re-
corded as killed for food was 40s; in 1900 il
was 1 ,2oO; in 1902 II was 2 800. Later figures
are wanting, but the consumption in 1904
is said to have been at least 5000.
All the dogs slaughtered for the market
are rigidly inspected and only passed IL in
strictly healthy condition. The meat ia
again inspected after killing. This il re-
ouired by the law which authorizes its
sale. but no other step In taken to discour-

Relatively to population the city Of Dessau
Ia the largest consumer OF dog. II is the
capital OF the Duchy Of Anhalt, which is
wedged into the Saxon province Of Prussia.
II has a population Of about 5000 people
and eats $50 dogs a year. In chemnitS
Sl2 dogs were eaten last year. and in Leipsic
1903, but these are vastly larger places.
The taste for dog Ia reported as extend
ing throughout Silesia and into Bavaria.
In Munich dogs are regularly slaughtered
and the fesh Ia sold by low grade butchers.

do not buy 10 in that region and that the
demand ia confined to the lowest class Of
laborers. No dog flesh is sold in

OLD Spring
FLOWS AGAIN
Earthquake Dries Up Source of
Water On Mendocino Ranch
For Several Months

Ukiah, Feb. IAN immense spring
on the Baron Hurst hop ranch south of
this city, which was used for irrigation
and furnishing water to the ranchhouse,
disappeared after the earthquake in
April. Digging and drilling failed to
bring it up again, and a water famine
was threatened. Superintendent Ell
dred erected a windmill.
For several days recently a stream
of water was noticed running across
the ranch, but no attention was paid to
it, as it was thought to be due to rain.
The stream increased in size, and it
was noticed that the cattle had quit
drinking the well water and were using
this stream. Investigation shows that
this stream has opened up again after
several months, and is nearly twice as
large as formerly. From a pure water
spring it has changed to mineral wa
ter, showing traces of sulphur.

company shipped from t.lis shaft fifty
tons Of ore in 1893 that assayed 813

In addition to ,hi5 showing, the com

In this shaft they have drifted forty
