wished to do it after proper solicita-

war Field Marshal Wrangle, who was
at the head of the Prussian troops. was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
he telegraphed not to advance farther.

King William that these diplomatists

Bismarck ignored him completely. and
one day they met at the kings table,
where it was especially awkward to
preserve a GOODNESS. Wrangle called
everybody ''du." and presently he

POWER OF THE SEA.
Fearful Force Of Ocean Waves When
They Run Wild.

Fearful Force Of Ocean Waves When
They Run Wild.
The average inland American who
has never seen the ocean has no real
idea of the force of its waves. He
reads about the storm. of boats being
carried away and bulwarks stove. But
he does not realize the steam hammer
blows that may be struck by mere
water.
A recent storm on the British coasts
received the official designation Of a
storm Of extreme force" A picture
taken In Hastings harbor shows the
conclusion with which the waves
struck the sea wall, sending the spray
apparently higher than the buildings
along the street. Blocks of concrete
and iron railing were torn from the
new parade extension at Caroline place
and tossed back into the roadway as If
they had been bits of plank. Timber
work that had withstood the stress of
years was torn apart and carried away
Easements were flooded along all the
sea award face of the town.
Such storm when 1t sweeps over a
ship will sometimes carry away almost
everything on deck. Deck houses are
often smashed. and the lifeboats are
often stove in and ruined.

eismarck's Prophetic Pipe.

Prince Bismarck was a great pipe
collector, and the gem of his collection
had q curious history. Many years ago
Bismarck was accosted by peddler
and asked to buy plain meerschaum
pipe of the type that he most affected.
At first he declined, but the peddler
claimed for the pipe a power Of fore
cast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister and that
three important changes in life would
be foretold by accidents Detailing t.
pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought t
pipe. He served three emperors. and
two days before the historic occasion
when he was refused an audience the
stem Of the pipe fell to pieces. Later
he Clipped piece from the side Of
the bowl accidentally, and within a
month his practical dismissal by the
emperor occurred.

tions. while parents in the average
home come to be more care-ridden
and overborne. The wonder is
not that 50 many boys when they
leave school wander from job to
job. failing in each till they settle
down to loaf or prey on society.
not that so many young women
loose their charm by early too
strenuous toll. The wonder is
rather that in the present situa-
tlon so many splendid men and
women can be turned out by the
schools as are actually produced.
For men. women and children in

to tell how this adequate guidance
for a moral obedience is to be sup
piled for the children. If the
teachers and parents will indeed
get together on this serious under
taking then the guidance required
will be provided to the children at
least during their homage.
The loss Of this guidance is the
most characteristic fault of the
