BERBIN, March 1S.-(Special to The
Bee)-William, the war lord, now wears
eyeglasses, which detract somewhat of
his warlike appearance. One day recently
he appeared in public with pince-nez,
which he used for the purpose OF reading
a lengthy paper on the reclamation Of
peat and bog lands before the German
Agricultural council
The emperor turned his attention TO
improving the breed Of his milch cattle.
He applied to Herr Hagenback and Herr
Hagenback had obtained good results with
the Bos sebu indicus major. The emperor
observed, amid laughter, that as when he
said major" they must not suppose that
the beast. admirable as he was, would find
his way into the army, certainly not into
the ranks of staff officers.
Taken In by Snowman.
The laughter increased when he told the
story of one Of his experiences as a young
lieutenant. He said:
Il once saw a booth in a fair at Pots
dam with the announcement, Progeny OF
a beaver and a duck to be seen here
went in to see what It was like. Inside
the booth I found man, who came up to
me in great distress and said, Herr Lieu
tenant uTeduIui LuinB mas udppohou'
The progeny is dead-but the parents are
still alive I then asked to see the par
ents upon which the man showed me a
large crop, and said Sometimes they are
outside and then you can see them, and
sometimes they are inside, and then you
can't see them" CUproarious laughter
The emperor then turned to the subject
Of the production Of cattle for food, and,
referring to an after dinner speech which
! the imperial chancellor delivered to the
Agricultural council said that before he
ended he wished to support the appeal
which had been made to them to increase
| the numbers of live stock.
