| Special Cable to The Tribune.
BERLIN, June 25.-Officially the kaiser
has recovered from the disability caused
| by the bite Of an insect and Is in nor
NAL health. In well informed circles.
| however, this official declaration of the
lSalsers return TO health is taken with
| good deal OF allowance, Despite the
popular belief TO the contrary, the kaiser
has never enjoyed robust health, and he
has always had to take the greatest caro-
| of himself. The strain of the funeral
| OF King Edward told rather severely up
on the emperor, since he had not been In
| the best OF health for some little time
previously. The utmost care is taken TO
| prevent the true state OF affairs becoming
known to the outside world, but those
| few personages who have seen the Kaiser
| since his return to his capital have been
greatly struck with his careworn eX-
preston and the extreme lritability that
| he displays Several consultations OF
the court physicians have taken place,
but the real nature of his majesty's COM
plaint is very carefully concealed. Under
these circumstances II is not surprising
afoat in Berlin at the present moment.
1t Is not believed that there is any i'm
mediate danger of his majesty having to
| give up public duties but that his con-
dition Is giving his physicians and his
family much concern may be accepted as
| true,
| Man WlLn0uC PERSONALITY.
DR.. Koch the famous bacteriologist.
! whose death occurred recently, was one
of the most remarkable of scientists OF
| recent years. He was known as the
man without a personality on account
| OF his cold, scientific nature, Every
thing with him was a matter for re-
| search. and he seemed almost devoid or
ihuman emotions. II was, of course. as
Il bacterlologlst that lie achieved his
| fame. and he caused tremendous SEN
! sation some time ago when he stated
| that he had discovered the bacillus OF
| consumption. DR.. Koch had an en-
| thusastlc admirer In the kaiser, and IL
is said that II was due to the kaisers 8
| influence that the doctor announced ms
discovery to the world. although at the
time the lymph that was TO work snch

consumption was proved 10 be no mira

scourge is still terror to the human
| race. or late years DR.. Koch had de-
voted himself to the study OF sleeping
sickness. He spent long time expert
mcnting in East Africa, and came 10
the conclusion that the disease was
| spread by a small insect which lives
principally on crocodiles blood The doc

! Koch's fame was so great that the na,

| miles to ask him TO visit their SICK
friends. In one village the chief treated
lhc doctor as a kind of deity. and even
went so far as 10 worship his scientific
| instruments.
New Collection Method,
| An entertaining variation on the meth
ods usually employed for the COLLECTION
| OF subscriptions has been introduced by
| the acrobatic burgomaster, or mayor OF
Poscn. Herr Wins, Meeting at an
evening reception a rich merchant. VINO
was not particularly distinguished for his
generosity to good works the burgomas-
ter approached him with the remark: Il
| want you to give me $3.50 for our town
the merchant replied; you can stand on
your head before you get any money out
| OF mo" No sooner We're the words out
OF his mouth than, to his bewilderment--
| in the crowded room-the burgomaster
| carefully placed his hands on the Garnet
| and. with the mayora legs gracefully
elevated in the air passed In an inverted
| attitude out OF the room. Returning
| moment later he claimed his $3.50 fee
| for tho performance. The amazed mer-
chant Immediately handed him cheek
| for this sum.
Have Perverted Minds.
The Berlin police have discovered that
number OF German girls, the daughters
| OF well-to-do parents. h1Ve an irresistible
| inclination for black men, and have de-
cded 10 protect tho young women against
| themselves. A troupe of negroes arc at
present performing near Berlin. and po-
| lice have been placed duty near the
| stage TO prevent the girls from entering
into conversation with the black men.
To Improve Business.
The latest development In German edu
cation is a school for tho purpose OF
teaching shop assistants how TO behave
| properly to customers. Shop assistants,
| II Is considered should learn not only
tho intricacios OF their respective trades.
but also the way TO behave In dealing
/ with customers, how to talk nicely nnd
agreeably how TO bow gracefully. how 80
treat illtempered customers. how TO
| conduct an animated conversation with
out undue familiarity. and so forth Tho
underlying idea OF the new school Is TO
improve business, as shown by the fact
| that tho cost of conducting II Is borne
| by the shopllccpers themselves, who are
| convinced that well-trained and polished
shop assistants can sell more goods than
| those who have received no special In
| Struction In this branch OF their activity.
Buried His Own Child.
| A peculiar burial incident took place
| at Gross wardcin, whore the 0-year-old
daughter OF Joseph Jauernig, local Of
tcial. died OF diphtheria. JauerniG had
| turned his back on the Roman Catholic
| religion and refused to allow a priest 10
take part in the burial OF his child, He
himself performed the duties OF under
tflkcr and at nighttime carried the cof-
| lin to the cemetery performing the cere-
| mony himself. Since the child had died
from an infectious disease, and us Jauer-
mig mad carried the Dody through the
whole town. the authorities are taking
proceedings against him,
| The German emperor has Issued an Or
| der foybidding commanding officers to
| allow 'one-year volunteers'' who serve
Mt their own expense to quarter them
selves during maneuvers at their own
| charges at hotels other places where
more comfortable accommodation is to
be had than is provided for ordinary SOL
dcrs. They will now be required to live
| In barracks and tents like the rest.
