The Kaiser's Talisman.

It is interesting to learn that the kaiser has brought to England the famous Hohenzollern talisman, which for centuries has been credited with a supernatural power to protect its wear CT from harm of any kind. This i'm perial talisman, massive gold ring with square, dark colored stone, which the emperor is said to wear on the middle finger of his left hand, has highly romantic history, dating from the far-off days when his ancestors, the Margrafs of Nuremberg, followed their leaders to the capture of the holy supul- cher from the Moslems. The ring, which was captured in a hard fought battle under the walls of Jerusalem, came into the possession of Margraf Ul- rich, from whom it has descended to his successors, generation after generation, as highly prized heirloom. The sen tence from the Koran which adorned the ring when worn by Saladin and his successors has been removed and a Latin cross engraved in its place.-Tit- Bits.
