BABY PLAYS WITH RATHER.

The little baby of Mrs. James Oxalli,
of Blue Tent, near Nevada City, CAL,
when she went into the back yard to
look for her child recently, was found
by the mother playing with a huge
rattlesnake, the latter coiled up and
kissing and rafting as though to
amuse the child. Each time the child
stopped over to pick up the reptile it
would stick out its tongue, which
served all the more to delight the baby.
The mother was frantic and quickly
drew the child away, later dispatching
the snake with stick. 1t measured
three feet and had four rattles and a
button.

BERLIN. Aug. 6.-Times have
changed for the grandc children of the
knlser. From now on there is TO be
more Prnssinn -militarism and discipline
around them-less freedom, fresh air
and simplicity. In that the crown
princess has been routed by the old
fashioned court danes, backed by the
emperor himself.
When the Duchess Cecilc of Mccklen
burgh became the wife of the heir to
the throne in 1905 there was plenty of
shaking or heads among the staid Prus-
SLAMS. She was light hearted, had trav-
eled abroad and was understood to have
modern motions quite subversive to
established traditions in Prussia.
Before long their worst fears were
realized. Prince William was born four
yenrs ago and the crown princess set
about training the future ruler of Ger
many IN her own way. Her life in
France in her girlhood had convinced
hcr strength came from rational liv-
ing, with plenty of light and air The
empress, whose will in royal nursery
matters had hitherto been uachallcucod,
was not altogether IN sympathy with
her dnughter-in-law' s ideas but she
found them backed by such cogent rca-
soning that she gavo way
The crown princess declared there
was more in life than was embraced
In the phrase ga good Prussian - Her
children, she was determined, should be
trained In the atmosphere Of freedom

the conditions under which young Amer
leans are reared than obtain in high
German circles.

So in her marble palace she set up
nurseries that were very beautiful but
etremely simple. Open air and cold
water are cardinal principles with her

was introduced TO a daily cold tub and
Prince Louis Ferdinand, now years
old, was submitted to the same proc
ess. They were also clad as lightly
and nationally as possible and turned
out into the garden or park for the
greater part of the day. Prince Hu.
bertus, who will celebrate his first
birthday next month, would have fol
lowed the same course if events had
not interrupted the regime Of his
mother.
To see to it that her scheme Of life
was carried out the crown princess

Perkins, whose credentials proved her

empress became converted to her daugh-

her grandchildren and each day when

His impulsiveness and most of his blaz-

atmosphere Of adnlation and pomposity

But when the crown princess started
the new order of things the court circle
were too Insular to see the benefit she
was comforting on the Hohenzollerns.
They opposed the English regimen, but,
secure in the knowledge that she was
going on the right lines, the imperial
mother faced their hidebound hostility
with perfect composure, and for long
time resisted all attempts to impose on
her children the old system of Prussian
military drill for infants. Unfortunate

to the emperor, who went into the in.

preiudices in his head on the side Of the
Prussian DANES. His decision was not
altogether favorable to the crown
princess, and the empress, in view of
the illness Of the little prince, was
shaken in her support of the open.air
