THE ELBE RIVER.

Ffsv~ the Stream Was Brought 60 an
Even Slope and Current.
In the beginning the Elbe, like any
other river, wandered at its viii. now
spreading out among a multitude OF is
lands, now narrowing into short and
crooked turn, now widening over
shoai. AS a proper beginning for the
correction of this sort Of thing the
Prussians, In true German style, pre-
pared a map Of the stream as 1t was,
decided by a simple mathematical cal
culation how wide a channel 1.50 me-
tsrs deep at middle water could be
with the existing flow and then upon
the map In red ink, eliminating all
sharp turns, drew in graceful curves
and long straight reaches regardless Of
the existing banks two nearly parallel
lines, indicating the banks as they
were intended to be.
The engineers began at the head Of
the stream and built out from the old
shore to the location Of the red line
transverse dikes, ground sills-ordi-
nary contraction works. Sometimes
where they seemed to be needed they
built long parallel dikes exactly on the
new red line. Sometimes they wove
hurdles and revetment mattresses Of
willow brush, much as we do at home,
and sunk them on bars between the
tips OF the transverse dikes, and then
on the top Of them set up upright
sticks and wove waffle" or basket
fences Of willow through them to make
pens, and into these piled sand dredg-
ed from the stream, to build up the
shore Mile by mile they advanced,
dredging the river or letting it dredge
itself, leaving no ends loose to ravel
out, gradually reducing the river to an
even slope and current.-Boston Tran

SARDOU AND THE SPIRIT.
The Famous French Dramatist Wrote
and Drew Pictures While
"Under Control"

Before he made his reputation By
writing plays Victorien sardou, the
French dramatist, who was deeply In
terested In spiritualism, had q remark
able experience In taking dictation.
He had been interested In occult phe-
nomena, and by chance he came into
communication with a spirit person
ality who signed himself Bernard

his experiments in an article entitled
"Only the Blind!y Ignorant ScOff" in
the DeIineator. He said:
One day In my room with two
friends I thought 1 would make the

coffee run about the room, as / had

and asked, "But why would you not

pencil wrote, "They were too stupid"
Shortly after this / was sitting by
my table one day idling, dream ing, not
making any effort to do anything In

began to work on the paper before me
with a rapldity and precision which
astonisbed me. And it kept this up
for close to two hours. The result was

The late DR.. DrummOnd, the habit

the rural French Canadian.

AN UNVASHED PRINCE.
The Lesson That Ended His Kicks
About Morning Baths.

Ihe Lesson mat ENDED his KICKS
About Morning Baths.
When Emperor William II. was a
small boy he had strong objection to
being washed In the morning, and his
governess, having had some unpleas-
ant experiences with him and being in
some doubt as TO what she had better
do, appealed TO his father, the then
Crown Prince Frederick. Frederick an
swered, '"The next time he gives any
trouble on this score leave him alone
TO his own pleasure and report to me-"
Naturally it was not long before the
young prince refused to go through
the publication process, and the gov
erness followed the orders received.
Now, the boy had a little carriage
and was very fond Of driving out in
the morning, an' ne generally ordered
the eoachman TO go by way Of the
Brandenburg gate, as il amused and
battered him to see the soldiers IN the
harrack, Just inside the gate, turn out
and present arms as the heir TO the
empire passed their quarters. Accord
ingIy on the morning Of his disobe-
dience the order was, as usual, '"To
the Brandenburg gate" and the car
riage rolled rapidly Shither. But what
was the amazemsnt and the rage Of
the princeling on arriving there TO see
no soldiers except those on guard, and
they took not the slightest notice Of
him. In towering passion he order
ed the coachman TO return to the pal
ace, where, rushing into his fathers
room, he complained OF the indecent
behavior OF the guard and demanded
their condign punishment.
But his father only smiled and said

A FIRE IN JAPAN.

American Missionary.

An American missionary living In ia

He described in an amusing way the
polite condolences which his neighbors
showered upon him. "We were del

''They were forced into our hands by
sympathetic inquirers. friends Offering
aid and tradespeopIe soliciting orders.

the receiving Of the stream Of visitors,

Her Household Service the Most Per

I'VE must go to the bee for the real
solution Of the servant question" said
a housewife. The queen bees seTV-
fee is the most perfect in the world.
Why, she even has servants who di-
gest her food for her.
''The queen bee is so entirely ocCU-
pied in egg Iaying-she lays $500
eggs, twice her own weight, daily
that all other things must be done for
her
"And so corps Of servants makes
her toilet This corps all day long
cleans and brushes and polishes her
person. 1t is as though her life were
passed divinely in beautiful parlOr.
Another corps Of servants has
charge Of the air she breathes. The
air must be the purest, that her eggs
may be the finest. So, standing in a
circle about her, tanning with EheiF
wings, these bees make a living ven
tilating system.
''Her most important servants are
perhaps her feeders. Their training
may be said to begin before birth,
since they must be born, from special
ly nodded eggs, with glands in their
heads for the reception Of bee milk,
the chosen predigested food Of the
queen. The feeders stand always at
attention. presenting, like a brimming

the next day it was brought to her by

His Dinner Guests.

In a volume published in London.
'Piccadilly TO Pail Mall" there is this
queer anecdote Of the vagaries Of So
cial life in the capital: Some years ago
an eminent parsonage accepted or sug-
gested a dinner with a certain million
aire, at that time comparatively un-
known. The first guest to arrive, hav-
ing explained to the butler that. being
unacquainted with his host, he would
wait till some one else came who could
introduce him, fingered in the hall.
The second was in the same predica-
ment, as were the third, fourth, fifth
and other guests up to the ninth, who
CHANGED to be ''the eminent parsonage"
himself. Upon the dilemma being ex-
plained to him he 'cheerfully said: 'Oh,
come along with me! I will introduce
you all. I know him"
