The text of a Code of Philosophy" which hangs in the Kaiser's study both in Berlin and Potsdam constitutes, as His Majesty informs his friends, the principles on which he governs his daily life, and reads as follows:
 "To be strong in sorrow. not wishing for that which is unattainable or worth less: content with each day as it comes; seeking for the good in everything and enjoying nature and mankind as they are, finding solace in one happy hour for thousand bitter ones, and always giving the best that is in one, even though no thanks are received.
 Who learneth that lesson is happy, free and proud, and his life will be beautiful one But he, who mistrusts only wrongs others and harms himself. It is our duty to consider everyone good until the contrary is proven. The world is so large and we are so small everything cannot possibly reyolve around ourselves. If something injures us or causes us pain, who knows but what 1t is good for the whole creation?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-18

A mad craving to become beautiful at all costs has resulted in Berlin mo- blewoman, the wife of an officer, hay
 ing to be taken to an insane asylum A woman who induced her to pay s15,- 900 for a sure road 10 beauty" has been sentenced to two years imprison- ment for fraud.
 A middle aged Sllesan woman re- gently opened a beauty parlor'' at Mu- nich. Hearing of the noblewoman n g passion to correct the deficiencies of which she was a victim at the hands of Mother Nature. the proprietress sent word that she had friend. a masseuse, who could administer cosmetic treat ment" which was guaranteed to con vert the homeliest features into a pretty face, and the most impossible of figures into form over which sculptors would rave.
 The owner of the beauty parlor" re- ceived s15 ,000 in advance, as agreed up- on, and proceeded to administer the ''treatment," but before 1t had proceed ed very far the fraud came to light in time for the police to secure possession of the money i,
 The only effect of the treatment was to mar the noblewomans face with distressing. rash, while her figure re- tains it's unattractive lines, Her rela- lives found 1t desirable to have the un- happy woman placed in an asylum.
 One of the old streets still left stand ing in the centre of Berlin was the scene of triple murder of barbarous kind. Screams were heard coming from the premises of a jeweler named Au- gust Schulze. who lived behind the shop with his wife and daughter. As the couple were very quarrelsome. no notice was taken.
 Later. however, someone entered the place and found the three Sehulzes ly- ing dead on the floor in pools of blood. They were all bleeding from terrible wounds on the head. A bloodstained hammer was discovered in the shop, and it was at first conjectured that the jeweler had attacked the wife and daughter with this and then committed suicide by shooting himself. No fire arm was. however, to be found in the place, and further investigation re- vealed that the tillf had been cleared out. and that a quantity of diamonds and other jewelry was missing.
