THE KAISER COMES.
How the People of Berlin Welcome Their
Sovereign.
He Bide* From the BeUroed Station ilmoet Hone.
k Crowd Waiting for the F.mperor—HI* Ap
pearance at the Window*—Enthmdaam.
The emperor has come home, Berlin ts
again a city of life and bustle, and ti e Ger
man crowd again daily gathers Unter dpn
Linden to see its beloved kaiser come to the
palace window and bow and smile to them.
His home coming, after his two months' ab
sence, was in simple fashion except for the
crowd that awaited him.
He was to come in from his Babelsberg
palace, near Potsdam, an hour from Berlin,
on Aug. ill. He would arrive at 1:30 o’clock,
so the police on duty near the palace in
formed the crowd gathering there as early as
D o’clock. They waited hour after hour,
some holding to good points of view, others
moving up und down the Linden.
The cro •> d before the emperor’s palace is
an every day scene when he is here. The
people never tire of it. The feeling grows
with the years of the old sovereign, for they
know that a man past 90 is not likely to smile
and bow to them from ^is window much
longer. The German crowd is not a gentle
one. It pushes and scrambles and is frequently
rude. On the othev hand, it is not noisy. The
people will stand for two or three hours before
the emperor’s palace, patiently waiting, and
almost silent. They will push and press for
■eligible places, but without auy words. If
the jieoplc choose to stand before the palaces
all day, they may do so, provided they do
not encroach on the drive. They usually fall
back to the open space about the big eques
trian statue of Frederick the Grout. Hero
the police do not, perhaps dare not, interfere.
This is directly in front of the emperor’s win
dows. But on the day of the kaiser’s return
the crowd was much too large for the protec
tion of Frederick the Great. It spread all
along the Linden, where the kaiser drove from
the station.
THE EMPEROR’S ARRIVAL.
“How will the emperor oomef” I asked of a
■German workman standing near by.
“Oh, like anybody else. Alone, perhaps, in
liis plain carriage, you know.”
A little later a plain, ojwn victoria and
pair of block horses left the palace gates and
drove to the station to bring the emperor.
The emperor was not quit* alone. His fa-
woritu aide, Count Lehendorff, who is usually
-with him, sat on his left,wearing the brilliant
.ontform of the Garde da Corps, his silver
helmet shining out from the tuft of white
leathers. The emperor’s uniform was that of
*n infantr y general and was strikingly plain.
It was of dark blue cloth, the coat alone re
lieved by collar and cuffs of scarlet cloth. He
wore a cap of ilark blue doth, with a band of
scarlet cloth around it.
As ho slowly drove along the Linden, smil
ing, his hand raised in salate, looking not at
all like a sick man, but quite well, the cheers
broke forth, nnd, like a wave of sound, rolled
on after him, swelling Into “Hocb 1 Hoch I
Hocli!” shouts of delight and satisfaction.
And when the carriage passed on to the pal
ace door the crowd rushed across the street,
closed in about the portion, and the police
made an effort to stay the tide.
The kaiser stepped from the lowly victoria,
not as a man of 90, but as one twenty years
younger might. A little stoop of the shoulders,
but otherwise the tall form is erect. The
kaiser has never used a cane, and will not
tise one now. But Ills step does not show the
feebleness aud uncertainty of extreme age.
No footman was in attendance. Count Le
hendorff passed around the carriage to the
emperor’s side and waited for him to go in,
then followed into the palace. The trim
young coachman in black and silver livery
•drove slowly back to the gate, handling the
ribbons with conscious pride. The crowd
watched the carriage in pleased silence until
it disappeared behind tbe gates. Then the
people moved about to rest, themselves.
But not. to go away.
AT THE WINDOW.
They waited nearly another hour. Tbe po
lice told them that the emperor would hardly
come to 111o window; that he was fatigued
and must get well rested for the review the
next duy. But the people knew better aud
they waited. Umbrellas were pul down to
Ifive an unobstructed view of the corner win
dow, where the emperor most often appears.
All the babies were hoisted on the shoulders
of their fathers, or raised as high as possible
In their mothers’ arms, and the small boys
squeezed into every opening along the front
of t.bo crowd.
Then the emperor came to the window, as
they knew lie would. They threw up hats,
-waved handkerchiefs, and shouted and dashed
in a mass across the street to get nearer the
window. Then “Hochl Hochl Hochl" ex
pressing the height of ■ German enthusiasm,
burst out, aud the shouts must havo pene
trated the very walls of the palace. The fine,
kindly face at the window tieamed with
smiles, and the next minute the old kaiser bad
his handkerchief up waving it at the crowd.
Then the men aud women laughed with de
light, the babies clapped their bands, and the
small boys, Irrepressible in Germauy as else-
where, vented their joy in shrill whistles. It
was enough for one day. The kaiser was at
home, the people were satisfied, and the crowd
dispersed.
Later in tbe afternoon the empress came,
driving quietly from tbe station, unattended
to the palace. Her open carriuge was drawn
by a pair of brown horse3, and tbe coachman,
a smooth faced young fellow, wore silver and
brown livery. The empress is fifteen years
younger than the emperor, but looks more
than fifteen years his senior. Few people
were about, nnd the empress’ arrival caused
no demonstration.—New York Bun.
A Dummy Waving a Handkerchief.
It i3 a custom among railroad men whose
homes are situated within view of tbeir pass
ing trains to be always on the platform of the
cars and to salute their wives or other mem
bers of the family, who are generally at the
Window at tbe time when tbe trains pass.
Tbe conductors and brakemen have come to
regard it as u duty on the part of their fami
lies to be at the window. A conductor on a
certain railroad, whose borne is near Orange,
is very particular to hove this custom ob
served and only discovered the other day that
his wife, for an indefinite period, has been
circumventing him by having a dummy
dressed in her clothes near the window with
• fluttering handkerchief that gave her hus
band the idea she was there waiting to salute
him.—Newark News.
Catching Trout With "Shecpweeil."
There is a plant popularly know;u as
•sheepweed” which grows in great profusion
around sheep pens, hence its name. This
weed is jstssessed of decidedly poisonous or at
least deleterious qualities, and the Indians
gather a quantity of it and ret it afloat on a
pool in the liver, and standing down stream
from it they thrash it with tree branches
until the juice exudes and becomes mixed
with the water. The result is that every
trout for a hundred yards or so below that
point is “doped,” or stupefied aud ret: I
helpless and an easy captive.—San 1 rauciscc

FORAGERS IN THE SADDLE.
Carrying Off Hams and Sweet l'otatoee
in the Face of the Enemy.
We were proud of our foragers. They con
stituted a picked force from each regiment,
under an officer selected for the command,
and were remarkable for intelligence, spirit
and daring. Before daylight, mounted on
horses captured on the plantations, they were
in the saddle and away, covering the country
sometimes seven miles in advance.* Although
I have said “In the saddle,” many a forager
had nothing better than o bit of carpet and u
rope halter; yet this simplicity of equipment
did not abate bis power of carrying off bums
and sweet potatoes in the face of the enemy.
The foragers were also important as a sort
of advanced guard, for they formed virtually
a curtain of mounted infantry screening us
from the inquisitive eyes of parties of Wheel
er’s cavalry, with whom they did not hesitate
to engage when it was a question of a rich
plantation. * '
When compelled to retire, they resorted to
all the tricks of infantry skirmishers, and
summoned re-enforcements of foragers from
other regiments to help drive the “Johnnies”
out. When success crowned their efforts, the
pluntation was promptly stripped of live
stock and eatables. The natives were ac
customed to bury provisions, for they foured
their own soldiers quite as much a* they
feared ours. These subterranean stores were
readily discovered by the practiced “Yankee”
eye. The appearance of the ground and a
little probing with a ramrod or a bayonet
soon decided whether to dig. Teams were
improvised; carts and vehicles of all sorts
were pressed into the service and loaded with
provisions. If any antiquated militia uni
forms were discovered, they were promptly
donned, and a comical procession escorted
the valuable train of booty to the point where
the brigade was expected to bivouac for the
night The regimentals of the past, even to
those of revolutionary times, were often con
spicuous.
On an occasion when our brigade had the
advance, several parties of foragers, consoli
dating themselves, captured a town from the
enemy’s cavalry and occupied tbe neighbor
ing plantations. Before the arrival of the
main column hostilities bad oeased; order had
been restored and mock arrangements wore
made to receive the army. Our regiment iti
the advance was confronted by a picket
dressed in continental uniform, who waved
his plumed hat in response to the gibes of the
men and galloped away on his bareback mule
to apprise bis comrades of our approach.
We marched into the town and rested on each
side of the main street. Presently a forager,
in ancient militia uniform indicating high
rank, debouched from a side street to do the
honors at the occasion. He was mounted on
a Hoxl nan to with a bit of carpet for a saddle.
His old plumed chapeau in band, he rode
with gracious dignity through the street, as
if reviewing the brigade. After him caro« a
family carriage laden with hams, sweet po
tatoes and other provisions, and drawn by
two horses, a mule and • cow, the two latter
ridden by postilions.—Capt Daniel Oakey in
The Century.
Art of Shoeing Race Homes.
“Do yqu not think there is almost as wide a
field for the improvement of tbe art of shoe
ing race horses as there has been made with
trotting horses—the use of toe weights, ete. t”
"Certainly," replied Mr. Willard. Then
he added, with sudden spirit: “I’ll tell you
something you may not know; few did. I
ran Wanda in aluminum platee in nearly ail
her races.”
“On account of their lightness T
“Of course; the entire set of four plates
weighed only two and three quarter ounces,
while you know a set of ordinary radii
plates will weigh eight or n ne ounces. The
difference of weight must be an advantage;
I should say it was equal to the difference be
tween a man running in ordinary street shoes
and a pair of light slippers.”
“How came you to discover tlie idea of the
aluminum platesi”
“Well, it hod long occurred to me that it a
light shoo or plate could be made it would
give the horse wearing it u great advantage.
1 had several experiments mude in Europe
with different metals, A great many were
tried and failed. They were light enough,
but not strong enough-liable to twist or*
break, and of course dangerous, finally, out
of a doien experiments, we evolved the alumi
num platen.”
“Were not even those rather delicate and
dangerous?’
“Oh, yes. On Borne horses they wouldn’t do
at all—Drake Carter, for instance. I tried
them on him, and he tore them all to pieces.
But on a light moving, perfectly actioned
horse you could use them. Wanda, you
know, was one of tbe smoothest, lightest
movers in the world."
“How is It nobody ever discovered your use
of them?’
“We kept our secret When I first used
them Byrnes, my trainer, asked me bow we
would keep it from the boys in tbe stahla I
told him to urge ’bad feet,’ or some such ex
cuse. But it was needless, for nobody ever
noticed ft,”—New York World Interview.
Druid leal Stone Scratching Posts.
I went by carriage from Penzance to the
“Jumping off place" at Land’s End. It is a
drive of eleven miles, with nothing of par
ticular interest along the rood, excepting the
“Merry Maidens,” the “Blind Fiddler” and
“Pipers.” These are the names popuiurly
given to tall, upright slabs of stone, the plac
ing of which in the fields is attributed to the
Druids Their purpose and date of their
erection are matters of pure conjecture. In
the center of every large pasturing tract may
be seen a stone of smaller size, which nobody
calls “Druidioal,” although in general ap
pearance it would pass for a genuine antique.
It is only a scratching post humanely pro
vided, within the times of living men, for
the enjoyment of cows nnd sheep.
Now slip [lose that 50(1 hundred years hence
all this land should cease to be pasturage and
become the site of towns and that u few of
these scratching stones should survive the
general transformation of things, and tlmt
the knowledge of their original function
should bo lost. It is entirely conceivable that
in such a case antiquaries might trace them
to the Druids. If some huir or wool were
found in crevices of such a stone—rubbed ' it
by the animal in his ecstasy of scratching—it
might be claimed us sufficient proof of tho
sacrificial object of the slab, to which the
victim was tied up by the Druids oiftl
slaughtered there. All of which teaches us to
“goslow” in interpreting the developments of
antiquarian researches.—New York Journul i
of Commerce.
The Famous French Communist.
Louise Michel, the famous French Commun
ist, is said at last to have crossed the boun
dary into insanity, or, at least, into aberra
tion. Her publishers are refusing to print
her book:-, her health is broken, ami she is, it
is said, likely to be lull to starve if her pen
and tongue tail her. As a rule, except in
revolutionary districts, she is now hooted at
and ill treated, it is sui.l, when she s|jeaks.—

And yet no more alike than prose and rhyme.
The first—a peerless blonde of sunny face.
Long golden haired, mild tempered and blue

A languid beauty of voluptuous grace—
In ear of roses passed, the whole years pride.
The next—a dark brunette, black haired as night,
Fierce eyed, who, sounding forth a tempest

Garibaldi's Herculean Strength.
Altev Gordon Garibaldi was my moat
famous acquaintance. What impressed
me most about, him was the immense tri
ceps, or shoulder muscles, he had. They
were just like two half cocoauuts sticking
up underneath his white Mexican mantle.
From Heennn nnd Morrissey to Mace
(Bayers had a remarkably small arm) I
never saw anything like it. It would
have made two of theirs. And the saber
he used! Two of the Life guards’ blades
forged into one would have just made it.
Many a time have I seen tlmt awful saber
sweeping right, left, right, left, like clock
work, as he mowed down the enemy like
grass, seated on his old white charger,
leaving “a lane” (tliAt is the only word)
for us who followed him closely. "Avunti!
Avanti!” rang from his lips all the while,
and his trumpet voice rose high above the
loudest artillery Are. His strength was
simply herculean, imd was only surpassed
by Gen. Dunne.
Ab an Instance of Garibaldi’s enormous
strength, I remember lute one night leav
ing the Cafe di Europa, in Naples, with
some brother officers anil seeing the gen
eral passing on foot, with only one at
tendant. We followed him as he was go
ing toward an unlighted and dangerous
part of the city, which swarmed with Bor-
boni—ex-soldiers, sbirri, lazzaroni in the
pay of Francis II. Ho was going to visit
, one of his dying soldiers, a boy of seven
teen. We had not long to wait. Like
lightning two men sprang at him, right
and left, simultaneously, knife in hand.
Ere their blades, raised to strike, could
fall, Garibaldi had each one by the throat,
raised high in air to the full .extent of his
arms. He then knocked them together
two or three times and let them drop on
the stones. You may guess that our
swords were out. But no! The great
hero said: “Leave them alone; the poor
fools have had their lesson.”—Pall Mall
Gazette.
A Study of “Star Umil«i."
All the routes wherein the mails are not
carried by either railroads or steamboats
are known as star routes, liecuuse they
are marked in the officiul records with a
star. A study of star routes oould be
made with profit. There ts a star route

every second day, and doggy is always on

ninety-five miles long across the plains,
on which there is daily service, although
but two smull settlements are served.
Tbe route extends from Poisedio to Ala-
meto and Fort Davis.
Another star route across the plains in
Texas over which daily service is made is
the route from Tayati to Surngora and
Fort Stockfrm, distance seventy-five miles.
The purpose of these two routes is to get
the mails daily to the forts, and the
service costs many thousands of dollars
more than the revenues amount to, they
being insignificant. It is such expensive
but necessary routes as these that draw
on the great excesses of revenues above
expenditure of the large offices of the
country.—Cincinnati Tiines-Star.
Medicine an a Iteal Science,
Since medicine became a real science,
the tendency 1ms been more to dispense,
as far as possible, with indiscriminate
dosing. The first manifestation of this
was the homeopathic system. Now the
best doctors give very little medicine, und
there is a disposition to dispense with it.
altogether. The modern tendency is
clearly in the direction of curing diseases,
particularly those of nervous character,
wholly without drugging, and lienee we
hnve the faith treatment and similar
vugarics. These may t>e false nnd absurb,
hut they illustrate the growing conclusion
that nature can, almost in the majority of
cases, be left, safely to herself. With good
nursing and some obvious and simple aids
she will do what is necessary of her own
free will. It is found tlmt the majority
of people who die at an advanced age were
in the habit’of taking very little medicine.
The possibilities of magnetism, etc., aro

the threshold. Half a century may show
wonders indeed.—Baltimore News.
Missed Making a Fortune.
Some one once asked John Jacob Astor
about the largest sum of money he ever
made at any one time in his life. He said
in reply: “The largest sum I ever missed
making was in reference to the purchase
of Louisiana in connection with De Witt
Clinton, Gouverneur Morris and others.
We intended to purchase all of that prov
ince of the Etniieror Napoleon anil then
sell it to President Jefferson at the same
price, merely retaining the public domain,
charging 2 1-2 per cent, commission on the
purchase.” It fell through, however, for
some trilling cause or other. Had they
succeeded Mr. Astor estimated tlmt he
should have made about #30,000,000,—

The Broker Then nil Now.
Take the Wall street man as anothe*
example of the change that is going on.
Ten years ago he was the pet of the town,
the delight of the bartender, the belovea
ot the chorus girl and the particular staf
of the race track and gambling club. Hi*
greatest boast was that he drank nothin®
but champagne; he wns reckless in thff
matter of clothes, wore vast quantities ot
jewelry and gloried in being considered •
man about town. The Wall street broket
could have been detected in those days at
a glance. His natty hoots, his shining
lint, yellow gloves, tight fitting clothes,
swagger, assurance and carriage stamped
him everywhere. He swaggered into bar
rooms with an air of an underbred prlnc*
of the blood, nnd talked stocks in pnbltt
places interminably. Everybody called him
Charley, Jimmy, Harry or Tommy, nnd
nothing pleased him more than to have his
name associated in ever so slight a way
with tlmt of a woman of the burlesque
stage. He was on the whole nervy, reck
less and generous to a fault, nnd often a
bold and courageous gambler, hut there Is
no doubt he was a tremendous nuisance
about town, and outside of Wall street he
was tlie subject of criticism the Import of
which lie never suspected.
In those days they all mnde money on
tlie street., for tlie lambs laid not been
slaughtered and the fools had not grown
wise. They thought that their gold mine
would last forever, hence the rush and
scramble to see who could spend the most
money and make the greatest show. I do
not know whether it was the result of
hard times or an era of good sense, hut U
ts a fact that this noisy and dashing type
of Wall street man lias almost entirely
disappeared and New York congratulates
itself accordingly. The brokers are now
In most instances quiet nnd undemonstra
tive men, who are not distinguished by
their manner of attire from other men.
Of course there are a few noisy and dressy
young cubs who still believe that Wall
street is the center of the universe, but
they are not the little tin gods on wheels
that they were ten years ago.—Blakely

Prtnoners Out of Sing Sing.
While thu warden was talking three
prisoners came through the doorway from
lielow. They were no longer prisoners
when they entered tho warden’s office.
Their terms had just expired. They were
dressed In clothing ent by a Fifth avenue
tailor, mid felt us proud as could be.
They bowed to the warden and walked
out into the world free men.
“It looks queer for a prisoner without
money or friends to leave herewith a $100
suit of clothes on his hack, hut occa
sionally he does. When a man comes here
his clothing is confiscated. It is reno
vated, and if need lie, repaired and hung
up for future inspection. The first pris
oner discharged Is entitled to pick out any
suit of clothing ho takes a fancy to. It
there Is nothing to fit him we furnish him
with a new suit. There Is a man walking
about New York to-day weuring Jaehne’s
spring overcoat which he had on when he
camo here, nnd some other ex-convict
selected his trousers. Another took the
Prince Albert coat and someone else chose
the vest of the ex-nklerman. They were
nil of the finest quality. Money and
jewelry are always returned to a prisoner
ut tho expiration of his term. It fre
quently happens that when a man is sent
here the second time lie will bring along
all his money and jewelry, knowing that
the state is responsible for them.”—New
York Mail and Express.
Changes In Soldiers' Dispositions.
“The greatest changes that I notice in
people are in disposition rather than In
appearance, although a change In the
spirit of a man does make a change In
liis appearance. ” Tills came from a man
whose face bore on it a look of sadness.
“1 remember,” lie continued, “three wild
follows who entered our company and
who for a year wore among tlie most in
subordinate and tlie most difficult to
manage. There came in the next year
skirmish after skirmish and battle after
battle, and to all of these three men
rough and painful experiences. At the
end of that year it seemed that they
jumped from tlie rollicking rowdyism of
reckless young men to thu serious anti
courageous responsibility of ripe manhood.
In the last year of the war there was not
a single complaint against any of them,
but when they returned to their old
neighborhood scarcely one of their old
neighbors recognized them. The change
in character had brought about a change
in appearance or hearing tlmt we who had
been with them Imd not noticed."—Chi

An Ciirnly Patient.
Dr. Sonchon related u case of abscess of
the axilla which was incised while the pa
tient was only partially under tlie influ
ence of the chloroform. As the knife
penetrated tlie Mesh the patient sprnn - to
his feet, rushed'at the case of instruments
which was near by, and had half ojieiied
a drawer und was about seizing an Instru
ment when one of tlie students bravely
caught him. He very soon quieted down.
Tlie next day lie said that lie had just
come from a grinding on a sugar planta
tion, where a number of Chinese were em
ployed; that lie was always quarreling
witli them, and that, as tie wns going
under chloroform, the students around
him liecnmo gradually transformed, in his
mind, into Chinese; und that as tlie knifo
penetrated him, though he felt no pain, he
wns satisfied it was one of the Chinamen
who had stubbed him. Hence the rush ho
made to what lie thought was his armory,
for a weapon to defend himself.—Texas
Medical Journal.
leu as a Luxury.
In Germany ice is precious. Tlie ice
man takes his cart up to a customer’s
door and carefully weighs the ice out to
him in a little bucket. A grocer, who in
America would buy say at least 50(1
pounds of ice, in Germany buys five
pounds. Tlie iceman keeps his stock
under lock and key, it is so valuable. The
Ice is chopped up line like loaf sugar, und
is weighed out in a spring scale. In
weighing i( tlie dealer is careful to give
no more than the exact amount, just as
much as the grocery man here in when
weighing oiil butter at fifty cents a pound.
One wagon in Germany will supply the
demands oi 25,000 [lersons. A family ice
box holds about two pounds of chopped
ice, and only well-to-do people can afford
(lie luxury —New York Mail nml Express.
Forest Destroyers of Australia.
The crop destroying rabbit appears to
lie not tlie only animal plague in Austra
lia. The decay of the forests is traced by
lies 1‘. Macpherson of the Royal Society
of New South Wales, to the opossums.
After much investigation it was ascer
tained that a single animal would devour
niiout 200 leaves of the Eucalyptus, or
blue gum tree, in a night; proving that
the IN,000 opossums killed annually in
tlie county of Victoria were sufficient to
destroy upward of 18,000 trees und lay
hare a space of 700 acres, or more t ban a
Square mile.—Arkaasaw Traveler.
