Cutting the Kaiser's Hair.

a Vienna barber named durham
had the time OF his life when he was
suddenly called to operate on the Elm
peror William during the latter's re!
cent stay in the Austrian capital. The
valet who usually cuts the imperial
hair had injured his arm; hence the
substitution. The kaiser talked I'M
interruptedly while his hair was being
cut and asked durham about his
former customers. The barber boosted
that he had cut the hair Of Francis
Joseph and King Edward, not to mem
ton minor royalties.
"And which Is easier" asked the
kaiser, "cutting the air Of kings or
their subjects"
r "With kings 1t is easier" said the
barber.
why is that?" asked the kaiser.
Because on an average they are
older and have less hair to cut,'' re-
piled the barber. \
akThe kaiser laughed and said: Come
to me in Berlin in a few years time;
I guess you'll have an easy job then"
/. Durham was vastly amused by
two grave visaged 1unkeys who held
In napkins the imperial hairbrush,
comb, scissors and other accessories.
They bowed solemnly every time an
article was taken up for use.-New

Pri.oner on III. Own Estate.

Prisoner on His Own Estate.
In Brunswick there is a young man,
the heir to considerable wealth, who
Is imprisoned on a little bit Of terri
tory and can never leave It till the end
of his days unless he first sacrifices
his patrimony. His name Is Eben-
stein. He is a minor, and he inherits
his property from a grandfather who
as Hanoverian fought against the
Prussians in 1866. Old Ebenstein new
er forgave the brutal Prussian and in
his will tied up his property with the
condition that. the tenant for life
should never set foot on Prussian soil.
But as Prussia surrounds Brunswick,
Ebenstein can never get out Of it with.
out losing his money. What is worse,
Prussia divides Brunswick into FIVE
isolated parts, all of which it sur
rounds, and young Ebenstein lives in
one Of the smallest, parts and cannot
even visit Brunswick city without
crossing Prussian soil, violating the
will and letting his money go to a
remote undeserving cousin. london

Wellington Feared For Waterloo.
An unpublished letter Of the Duke
of Wellington has just been discov-
cred, In this letter to his brother
Wellington says, speaking Of the mem-
orable day Of Waterloo: II suppose
you have already had the news Of our
affair with Bonaparte. That
battle Of Waterloo was the worst I
have ever seen. In all my life I have
not experienced such anxiety, for I
must confess I have never before been
80 close to defeat" It has often been
said that Napoleon's genius never fall
tered and that his last troops rallied
around him till the end with the valor
they had proved on all battlefelds,
but we owe a debt Of gratitude to the
family Of Wellington for their honor
and loyalty in giving this letter,
which, coming from the great English
general, is the noblest homage ever
rendered to the glory Of Napoleon and
his soldiers.-Paris Figaro.

An eight loom weaver in a cotton
mill where the, old fashioned kissing
shuttles are used takes the kiss Of
DEATH about 100000 times a year.
according to mill owners and en-
ployees who favor the bill to abolish
the kissing shuttle. A weaver
threads the shuttle OF one loom about
d hundred times day. An eight
loom weaver would do this 800 times
q day. The kissing" shuttle Is
one Of the Oldest mechanical devices
In the textile trade. The weaver
sucks the end Of the thread through
the bobbin. His lips ONE in contact
with a bobbin that has been kissed
by preceding weavers, any one Of
whom may be afflicted with tubercu-
lar trouble: hence the kiss Of death"
as It is called. Self threading shut
tles have replaced the kissing ones
