height.
The exiled czar of Russia is a
great whist player. He formerly
used more than 1900 packs OF cards

Rice grown directly from seed
grains 1000 years old was served the
emperor OF Japan when he attended
the maneuvers OF the japanese army

Although the sultan OF Turkey is
reputed to be the --LATEST potentate
in Europe, he is passionately fond
OF reading, books OF criminal ro-
mances being his iavorites.
Alter the death OF the great Ro-
man general and statesman, Caesar
became a title of all the Roman em-
perors and is the origin of the mod
ern titles, kaiser and czar.
In the German army the kaiSerin,
the crown princess and the Duchess
of Brunswick are all honorary colo

There are no less than 5000 stones
