Elsewhere in Germany the ruler. when
opening or proroguing the national
legislature, invariably kept his helmet
on his head TO indicate his sovereignty
and his superiority in rank. William
Insisted on barring his head like the
rest lie was wont to show the same
courtesy to the Socialist leaders in
Wurttemberg as to the supporters Of
the monarchy, and even at times
sought their ADVICE. He was devoted
to sport and entertained profound and
undisguised aversion for the Kaiser

they were fellow officers of the crack

The ex-King has no issue by his

- ERNiANY'S former dynasties
may be divided into two Sc
- ries. composed Of those which
desire the restoration Of their thrones
and those who are satisfied to be re-
lieved Of the burden of their crowns.
That the possession OF a sceptre Is
attended by disadvantages is apparent
from the many rulers who have abdi-
Gated freely. The number undoubt-
eddy would have been larger had 1t not
been that some monarchs have been so
conscientious they considered them
selves bound by duty to their subjects
and by their dynastic obligations to
remain at the wheel of the ship OF
state and to transmit to their heirs
the sovereignty In much the same con
dition as that in which II had come
down to them. They regarded abdica-
ton much IN the same light az mill
tary or naval desertion.
Royalty is subjected to so many re-
strictions, in connection with the Con.
stitution. with tradition and above all
in the matter Of etiquette. as to de-
stroy all sense of personal freedom.
There are SO many things that mem
bers Of a reisning house cannot do. but
which are free TO the ordinary citizen.

during the Revolutionary War. Young
Stephen grew up on the farm TO the
age OF Is, taking his share of the bitter
toll which farm life exacted in the
days when the land was newly cleared
and there was only the most primitive
agricultural machinery.

did day and night duty in that great

With the dry hot weather and hot
sunshine of the past week, cotton has
shown a decided Improvement and
the farmers Of this immediate section
are more hopeful since the plant is
beginning to fruit. The hot sunshine
is unfavorable to the progress OF
the boil weevil and its destructive
work in the cotton fields has been
halted for the time being. While
weather conditions are favorable to
the cotton crop, it is damaging to the
corn crop and grave fears are now
entertained that this valuable crop
viii be cut short unless rains fall
within the next few days. The con-
tiuued rains through May ruined the
early water melon crop and what few
have shown up on the market are
small and inferior in quality, but the
colored citizens, who loves a water
melon better than his life, cares not
for this and is ready to pay fancy
price for them.

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. n.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed. and plant them side by side In the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries OF Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
of cases. The result of his studies was a
medicine called DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made Of
vegetable growths that nature surely In
tended for backache. headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical If
regularities, pelvic infammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages Of Lie. DR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy

tonic so good that druggists everywhere

because il contains no alcohol and no

made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so be has
always kept them out Of his remedies.
