NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is well known, but few are aware OF
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper. the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang.
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs. as
well as that of the interior. has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings. properly
named and dated. and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar.
ginal notes as he goes along. and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer.
ence. Often. too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

On Wit and Humor,

Man is the only animal that laughs
and weeps. for he is the only animal
that is struck with the difference be-
tween what things are and what they
ought. to be. We weep at what
thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri-
Gus matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints our expectations in trifles.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of SYM
pathy with that which is unreasonable
and unnecessary. the absurdity of
which provokes our spleen or mirth.

the veterinary quickly called my at

being RICH handed, unintentionally

GOLD WEATHER

Ohio Flood Victims.
High Wind Blows Buildings Down
In Cincinnati, Ohio.


Cincinnati, o., Jan. 20.-Cold weather
and a gale Of wind increased the suf-
ferins of those thousands who had been
maze homeless by the flood in Ohio. A
NUMBER OF buildings that had become
WEAKENED by the water, went down be-
fore the wind last night and today. The
iirse ana probably the most serious loss
py collapsing Of walls was during the
night when several floors in the build
lngs Oh Walnut street occupied by A..
Jansen, wholesale grocery company,
and the Ohio Butterine Co., went down
with a crush. Both buildings were
heavily loaded with merchandise, goods
having been moved from the cellars to
the upper floors. The loss cannot yet
be estimated but will probably be
heavy. The collapse came just as. a gale
was shaking high buildings all over
the city.
The area of the flooded section in
creased considerably during the day
each inch of rise spreading over wide
territory. For several hours the river
was stationary at GAS feet, but the
weather bureau officials could find only
temporary consolation in this, announc-
ing during the afternoon that the news
from up river indicated that the river
here would go to at least sc and per-
haps G7 feet within the next SO hours.

A BROAD IDEA.

Formulated by the King of Italy, hut
American In Origin.
The king of Italy has put forth a
project which appears ideal If not uto-
plan from the sentimental and CONTRA
ternal standpoint, yet excellent from
an economical and technical point of
view could it be sincerely and thor
oughly carried out. At the instance of
King Victor Emmanuel the Italian
government has addressed a note to
the powers proposing that a confer
ence be held in Rome next May for the
purpose of considering a scheme for
establishing an international chamber
of agriculture.
The king explained his proposal in a
letter to the head Of the Italian govern
ment, frankly admitting that the orig
inal idea had been introduced to him
by a citizen Of the United States.
Briefly put, the king proposes, there
fore, that the different leading nations
should combine to form an information
al institution absolutely unpolitical in
its aims which would consider the con-
ditiOns Of agriculture in the countries
of the world and which would periodic
ally notify the quantity and quality Of
the crops in hand SO as to facilitate the
production of such crops and make
their distribution less costly and more
rapid.
Other points would be the supplying
of information as to the demand and
supply of agricultural labor in differ
ent parts Of the world, the promotion
If agreements necessary for united de-
Tense against diseases Of plants and
domestic animals and the encourage.
ment of societies for rural co-opera-
ton, for agricultural assurances and
for agrarian credit.
Naturally such an institution would
not only tend to consolidate the agri-
cultural classes, but would yield pow
erful influence for peace, for by pro-
noting a knowledge of other countries
and by extending the business rela-
tons Of the various nations with each
other war would daily become a more
hateful and impossible thing than ever.
