linself and his wife, Augusta.


 We went from there to the Royal Palace and the contrast was striking. Emperor William was so simple in | his tastes and lived for the good of the people. The Royal Palace has some beautiful rooms, but they are all tame compared with Ludwig S Palace at Chimsee. We went out to Charlottenburg to see the Manso1eum where rest Emperor William and his wife and his father and mother, Fred erick William III, and Queen Louise
 The mansoleum is beautiful inside. An angel is at the entrance, guard. ing the tombs The marble of walls, pillars and sarcophagus is beautiful, but colored glass throws a blue light over all that Queen Louise was only thirty-four when she died. Her recum-
 bent figure is beautiful. She has the cloth tied around her neck that is in
 all her pictures, worn because of an
 enlargement on her neck, so our
 landlady informed us.
 Emperor William and has wife, Au
 gusta, have very fine faces. We went
 in Hobenzollern Museum, which is
 really history of Prussia for the
 past 200 years. Each ruler and his
 wife had q room apiece, with the
 personal effects, pictures, bed, chairs,
 tables, etc.. i'll it. We saw bridal
 dresses of the different queens, gor-
 geous robes, lined with ermine, uni
 forms of the kings, etc. It was most
 interested in the room of Frederick
 the Great and that of Queen Louise.
 Some of the rooms were dark and , spooky, and there were many figures

 medals, pictures, etc., in this muse um. It is said he is quite fond oi , display. A lady was telling me of q poem printed. in a Paris paper, writ , ten by an American, that caused 6
