the displacement OF American products,

Kaiserin Spends Hours SEWING ON
Cruise of HohensolIern 10 Corfu.
The imperial voyage to Corfu was
one long delight to the Empress OF Ger

OF the change of scene, but because she
was able to devote so much time dur
ing the cruise Of the Hohenz0llern from
port to port to an occupation not often
connected with Queensthat Of needle
work, says the Philadelphia North
American. Day after day, seated I'M
der an awning on deck, she passed
hours plying the needle, the Emperor
from time to time approaching and
watching with interest the progress Of
her work.
Her majesty is clever needlewoman,
but favors chochet work rather than
sewing. All the embroidery of her per-
sonal linen is OF her own handiwork.
She is also IN expert in the use OF
knitting needles, and on one occasion.
several years ago, surprised the EN-.
peror on his birthday by presenting him
with a pair Of WOODEN stockings which
she herself had knitted. These his
majesty, however, has never worn, but
he appreciated the gift so highly that
the stockings have occupied promi-
nent place In his private apartments
Mt the palace Ger since.
While the imperial yacht was in
course Of preparation for her voyage
to Corfu, a case was brought aboard,
with orders that 1t should be unpacked
and placed in the Emperor's cabin. 1t
contained her majesty's workbox-her
only one-which she had used ever
since her marriage.
The only daughter of the imperial
family, Princess Augusta Louise, is fol-
lowing in her mothers footsteps. The
young princess, who as yet has very
limited allowance Of money ut her dis
| posal, has to depend upon her own
handiwork in order to make birthday
and Christmas presents to her father
and mother and the other members of
the imperial family, by whom her small
| gifts are highly appreciated.

was boosted 2 cents a pound, and now
another advance OF 8 cents Is again
added, making b-cent Increase during
the past week. The packers combine
is allowed full sway by President

evidently afraid to tackle the beef oc-
