FOOTBALL IN GERMANY.

Football has taken a hold in Ger
many and it is stated that the Father
land now possesses a total of 1871, 633
football players, who are formally as
ISOLATED with the National Football
league. These, of course, are prac-
tically all amateurs. The number rep
resents an increase of rs per cent over
the total registered a year ago.
The game fourishes most in South
Germany, but is making rapid head
way in all parts of the country. Pop
ular interest, as manifested by the at
tendance at the matches, is also sub
stantially on the increase. The rec
ord is 10000 at the match between
Germany and England, and 5000 at
the Crown Princes Cup-tie match last
year.
Encouraged by the Kaiser and the
Crown Prince "FussballspieP' is max

Then a soldier in full marching kit

and rescued, and somebody aboard the

impossible to sink with this wonderful

TALKING CAT.

A lady living in the German city
Of Hamburg owns a cat named Peter
which speaks very clearly. The ami
NAL is attracting considerable atten-
ton in scientific circles, and experts
from the Zoo are to examine Peter.
Some time ago Peters mistress was
very much surprised when. instead Of
the expected "miaou" which answers
a call, the cat distinctly pronounced
the word "nein." This was already
wonderful. But what is still more SO
is that the cat was taught some other
simple words which it learned quickly.
"Milch" (milk), Anna" (this being
the name of the mistress), and others
were soon used quite easily by the cat.
When It refused to say the word It
was asked to utter 1t was left in q
room and deprived of food. This
never failed, and the cat pronounced
the words required.

"Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
