Berlin.-"The number 25 plays no

al" So spoke the kaiser graphically
at his recent jubilee. What could he
mean?
Statisticians throughout the empire
set to work to discover why his mai
esty had pumped for 40. Their zeal
has had a remarkable result. The
kaiser expects to die in 1910!
Why? Because the dates So and 40
nave played an extraordinary part in
the death history of the Hohenzol-
Terms. Friedrich l. died in 144O, AL
brecht in 1883, George Wilhelm in
1910, his successor in 1858. A CEN
tury later the latter dates appear
again in an extraordinary coincidence.
Friedrich Wilhelm l. died 1740, while
"Alte Fritz" son of Emperor Fried
rich, both died in 1910, while William

tale Of events. And so the cycle comes

The figure, which is of marble, is

BEGGARS WITH FORTUNES
Misery Hermits Who Lived Only to
Hoard Gold-Report Famous
Cases.

LOndon.-The announcement in one
day of the deaths of two hermits Is
an unusual event. One, a Scotsman,
named John Kirkpatrick, OF Dunbar
tonshire, had become known as the
hairy man of the Vale of Leven."
He lived near jamestown, in a hut
which was at one time used as a hem
house. His hair was never cut, and
grew to a very great length, and he
subsisted chiefly on crusts picked up
in the streets. He died On Sunday
last from lack of food, and it was dis
covered on searching his hut that he
had large sum of money invested in
banks and companies, the shares
in same of which were paying him ten
per cent. interest.
The second case is reported from
Paris, where, also on Sunday, a maid
en- lady Of seventy-three years of age,
was discovered dead in a small cheap
ly rented house at Longueville, close
to Dieppe where she lived by herself.
On searching her house the police dis
covered no less than 10000 in gold
en- coins and over $4,000 in securi-
ties.
"One of the famous hermits Of by
gone times lived in France on the
outskirts of Paris. NJ Vandille had
been a judge in Boulogne, and after
at Paris, and was always known for
his miserly ways"

HUMAN BEING AS A FACTORY
Writing In Atlantic Monthly, Gerald
Stanley Lee Made a Remarkably
Comprehensive Comparison.

A human being is a kind of factory.
The engine and the works and all the
various machines are kept in the
basement, and he sends down orders
to them from time to time, and they
do the work which has been con-
ceived up in headquarters. He ex-
poets the works down below to keep
on doing these things without his TAX
ing any particular notice of them.
while he occupies his mind, as the
competent head of a factory should.
with the things that are new and diff
ferent and special, and that his mind
alone can do; the things which, at
least in their present initial forma-
tive or creative stage no machines as
yet have been developed to do. and
which can only be worked cat by the
man up in the headquarters, himself.
personally. by the handiwork Of his
own thought
The more human being develops,
the more delicate, sensitive, strong
and eficient, the more Spirit-informed.
