WHY IS KAIsER's OLD FAMILY
HOME UNvlslTED?
Too Much Poetry There for kaiserin'
Says Public Report-Dislike for
Second Place Said to Be Real
Cause for Staying Away.

Hechingen, Germany.-"Why doesn't
the kaiser or the kaiserin ever come
to the castle of Hohenzollern?" is a
question that they are asking these
days, not only in the ancient provinces
of H~ohenzollern, but throughout south
western Germany.
His majesty" the people will tell
you, has bought an Italian villa, mas
remodeled the Achilleon on the island
of Corfu, and has been restoring old
castles in north Germany until he has
a string of them, more than 80 In ALL
stretching across Prussia from no
nigsberg on the east to Hochkonigs-
berg on the west, yet while doing TINS
he has apparently not given a
thought to the ancestral home OF the
imperial family of Germany, which is
all ready for a royal tenant, and which
the people of Hohenzollern are desir'
GUS should have one"
This magnificent pile is situated on
a wooded spur of the Swabian AID,
Just above Hechingen. For this rea-
son, although the castle dominates the
landscape of almost the whole OF Ho'
henzollern, Hechingen takes an espe-
cial interest in the structure and
would say it if it were not lese ma
jeste that it is hurt at the kaiser's
neglect.
THE old kaiser, Wilhelm l., came
often to the CASTLE" said one of the
citizens, land seemed to take consider
able pride in it. Many of the royal
family or members Of the Prussian
court used to come and there was
some representative of the house on
the hill most of the time. The pres
ent ruler in his younger days used to
visit us himself.
"But after the completion of Neu-
S%chwanstein, planned by King Ludwig
of Bavaria, he lost his interest in Ho-
henzollern. 1t was as a restoration OF
a medieval stronghold dwarfed by
its superb Bavarian rival.
"On account OF similarity in situa-
ton and construction, the two were
often compared-and our kaiser, you
know, is not a mar who likes to have
second place. So Hohenzollern in

Quoted on a mule to his house. Before she goes
to his house she drives all about town. In some
parts when the bride enters her new home the
bridegroom walks backwards holding a dagger in
his hand and she follows him, touching the piont
of the blade with the tip of her finger.
Where a family can afford 1t a girl usually is
accompanied by an old nurse, who gives her good
words of counsel as the lazy mule trudges along
leisurely. Before she leaves the girl, whom she
has cared for since the bride was a child, she
whispers: Take courage; you need not fear. He
cannot help but love you; you are sweet, good,
and kind"
Among primitive peoples marriage usually
is more ~insistent and girls are courted in even
a less romantic manner. Among the Australians
every girl must marry, whether she will or not.
1t is considered wonderfully strange if a girl Is
IL years old and is still unmarried. This is not
because the girls or parents are romantic, but
the parents feel that a girl is only worth the toll
she gives.
"The man." says the Rev. H. G. Meyer, regards
They are a necessary commodity, valuable only as
long as useful, to be thrown aside after they serve
their purpose"
Worse still, their masters can throw them out
and divorce them at will. The Kafirs buy their
wives with cows and do not pay more than they
can help. A woman no sooner enters her new
home than she is given some task to perform so
her lord can see if he has made a good bargain.
He values her less than his cows This is seen
by the fact that he permits her to do all the work
except tend to his cattle and enter the kraal
where they are kept.

BLACK FOX FARMS.

Consul John H. Sherley writes from Charlotte
town, Prince Edward Island: There are three
black fox farms near Atherton where these an
imals are raised for their skins. These farms
contain 20, 25 and 80 foxes, respectively. The
skins are sold in London at prices ranging from
$500 to $1,000 each, according to quality. | am
informed that the fur is used for ornamenting
the cloaks of royalty, as it is the only fur to
which gold will cling. The farm containing 30
foxes is on Cherry's island. The farm containing
20 foxes is in a rough, broken woods country,
where the animals are confined by heavy woven
wire netting. The wire is set in the ground two
and three feet, in order to keep the foxes from
burroWing under, and Is about eight feet high
above ground, with a curve inwardly at the top
OF each post of another three or four feet of wire.
In order to keep them from climbing over the
fence. They sleep in the open the year round,
in hollow trees and in hollow logs. These ami.
mas are not cross-bred, but are confined to their
own kind, to keep the fur of the best quality DOS.

es, never accepts anything beyond jewelry. Her
parents are expected to buy her rousseau, furni-
ture for the house, and her spinning wheel. The
day of the wedding these things are exhibited, but
at the bridegroom's house.
Though in Switzerland no matchmaking is done,
a young man must often prove to the girl he is
worthy of asking for her hand. The girls always
have the privilege of saying Eyes" or NO." though
in some places the choice of a bridegroom is re-
stricted to their own locality. In some districts
a man must lead the goats up and down the noun
tain to show the girl he can work for her. In other
towns where the haying is done 1t is his part to
stack up all the hay and pile it into the barn.
Though she helps him in his long hours of toll, he
is expected to do most of the work. Still he tolls
on bravely, feeling that he is being rewarded suff-
GENTLY by a pleasant word, a friendly smile, and
that if the work is well done he has a chance to win
her as his wife.
Until recently in Egypt girls and boys were mar
ried when they were young. 1t was common for a
girl to be married by the time she was IA and a boy
when 16. But they now wait a few years longer.
The parents always select the man they wish for
the son-in-law, The girl is satisfied to know that
she is going to have new dresses and a great deal
of new pretty jewelry. The bride and bridegroom
rarely see each other before the day of the wedding.
An important part of the ceremony is to give a
bride food and a large urn, which symbolic that
she will have food and water.
There are no people so particular about selecting
husbands and wives for their children as the Moors.
Their sons and daughters have no right to say
who they will and will not marry, For after the
parents have chosen, a word of complaint might re-
suit in death. A son dare never take a wife unless
his mother approves, and she is usually chosen
from the young women Of their own clan. But
when they cannot find a girl in the village who
pleases them they seek one among other clans.
But the young nan is supposed to be too timid to
court alone the girl whom his mother chooses, and
so he usually takes several friends with him. 1t is
their duty to sing the girls praises in the hope of
giving him courage to carry on the courtship.
But the formal engagement must take place in
the presence of the head man. 1t is before him that
the young man hands over the sum he has agreed
to give the girls father. This varies according to
what he can afford, the beauty Of the bride, and
their social position. The bride usually buys the
trousseau with the money the young man gives
her father.
Moorish girls are exceedingly fond of pretty
clothes and plenty Of handsome jewelry, so their
trousseaux are often wonderfully elaborate. On
her wedding day a professional woman from the
town is employed to dress the bride. She paints
her face, combs out her hair, and arranges the
jewels. Not much before sunset does the bride
groom send the box in which the bride is to be con

About laron Shades.

When choosing lamp shades for a
room remember that color is of more
importance than the material used.
Porcelain and colored glass are often
very satisfactory, but softer and more
pleasing effects are obtained with
shades of paper or silk. Be sure to
choose a shade which distributes the
light properly, at the same time saw
ing the eyes from glare. The color
of the shades should harmonic with
the walls. Red walls reflect red light
best and green walls are best suited
for green shades. Contrasting colors
dim the light and make a room appear
gloomy. !,

PLATED SKIRTS ARE pAssE.
Don't Try to Make Them Over, is Ad-
vice of Expert.

The plated skirt is passe. The
proper thing is the many gored skirt,
guiltless of plaits. Yet we all have
a plated skirt or two.
Shall it be ripped, sponged, the
fullness taken out and the cores re-
cut into plain, unplaited cores, asks
Anne Rittenhouse in the Philadelphia
Ledger. Then she says:
THE earnest advice of anyone who
knows is against this process. 1t is
true that plain gored skirts are in first
style, and if a woman is ordering a
new suit she must be guided by this
fact, but this does not argue that the
plated skirt is hopelessly out of style.
st is never a good plan to recut a
cloth skirt. When one has to deal
with cloth, it is hard to give it the
tailor finish and keep it in style after
it has been cut and pulled and ripped.
Unless it is too far out of style
to be permissible, far better wear it
as it is. If it is not wearable, far
better sell it or give it away than
take the time and money to work on
what cannot be a good job"
