The German Empire HM Done Much to » i * • R e a f f i r m I t To the student of political institu­ tions perhaps the most characteristic thing about the history of the German empire, says Macmillan's Magazine, is the example that it gives us of the re­ vival or reaffirmation, so to speak, of the principle of monarchy. That princi­ ple has received some rude shocks in re- cent years. The establishment, of the French republic was one, and the depo­ sition of the emperor of Brazil was cer­ tainly nnother. Both events gave great encouragement to republican ideas. Kingship in the old absolute sense had long been on the wane. . The Preach revolution almost shattered the founda­ tions of the old monarchical rule. In England the old kingship received its final blotv when George TV, surrendered his position, on the question of the einonclaption of the Cathoiics; no at­ tempt has since been made to in)pose the royal v-111 upon a reluctant'inin- istry or parliament. In Franco the old kingship disappeared when Louis Phil- ippe, the Citizen King, was summoned to the throne; for the monarchy of July wae built on strictly constitutional lines. Even in Prussia a very restricted constitution was reluctantly conceded. King Frederick William IV. vowed that he would never let a sheet of paper intervene between the God in Heaven and his subjects; but even he was forced at last to yigld to the spirit of the age, nnd, as Bismarck picturesquely put it, the crown itself threw a clod upon its coffin. The Italian states and Spain were for long in a condition of chronic revqjution, and either constitutions were extorted or republics were estab- lished. It almost seemed as though the principle of kingship was doomed ere long to disappear. But the history of the German empire has done much toward the restoration of monarchy to its old illustrious position. CLEVER PICKPOCKETS. The Thief's Art Rednced to » Fine Point In Mexico. Mexico is a land of thieves and law­ lessness. "An English correspondent tells of an adventure of two men in the Grand Square of Mexico. They stood talking before they should part. One was American, the other English. Suddenly the former said to the latter, square under the colonnade: "Look at it--look! They're pinch­ ing him nicely, aren't they? Arid he's a friend of mine, you betl" And there, while be stood gazing at the cathedral all unconscious, another American was relieved of his watch and other valuables. "Smartest thing I ever saw,' cried the watching Yankee. "Look here, I'd like to interview those coons." They did so, the Englishman inter' preting. Said the admiring Yankee, after a time: "Can you do me like that? I'd like to know what it feels like." And the answer came oontemptu ously: "You? Why, we did you an hour ago!" This is a true story. Told of Indigo Snakes. Tho student of animal life at the zoological gardens is startled frequent­ ly by the remarkable display of sagacity that is sometimes made by the inmates of that interesting place, says an Eng­ lish writer. What, for instance, could be more clever, more thoughtful or more amazing than the action of the indigo snake when cold weather comes on? It was illustrated recently. The first breath of cool air that was wafted across the garden informed the Indigo snakes that a cold wave was at hand. They could not hide their heads under their wings, like the robin of the nurs­ ery book. They could not take violent exercise and warm up their blood, for their blood will not warm. So they settle the problem by swallowing each other in turn. One indigo snake wdll swallow his better half, for example, until she becomes thoroughly warmed up and then she will swallow him until he feels comfortable. A Grim Wager. Wagers sometimes take rather a grim form. It is recorded that in the last cen­ tury a wager was laid for one ofa party of gay revelers to enter Westminster abbey at the hour of midnight. He was to enter one of the vaults beneath the abbey, and in proof of his having been there he was to stick a fork into a cof­ fin which had been recently deposited there. He accomplished his object and was returning in triumph when he felt himself suddenly caught, and was so overpowered by terror that he fell into a swoon. His companions, not being able to account for his long absence, found him in this condition. The fork which he had fastened into the coffin had caught and pinned his long cloak and so occasioned a fit of terror which nearly proved fatal. The Gan Would Determine. It is said there is a voter living near Ilagerstown known as Old Uncle Zeb. He does not decide who to vote for until he has met the representatives of each candidate and had a conference. A local Hurst politician met Old Uncle Zeb tho ofher day and said: "Well, Uncle Zeb, who are you going to vote for?" "I dunno, I dunno," the old man replied., "I need a double-barreled shotgun mighty bad. I calc'late to do a lot of hunting this winter. I dunno who I'll vote for." Here's Economy. There is a man living near Mabeti, Miss., who^prides himself on his econo­ my, and the other day, when discussing his favorite topic, he remarked that he had saved several dollars in matches. "Why," he said, "when I cfLme to Mississippi, nearly 40 years ago, I brought my fire with me, and I have kept the same fire ever since, never al­ lowing it to die out, and during all thi# time have never spent one cent foi matches." HIS LEG IS PULLED. That Is How a Southern Congressman ( Regards HU I*>t. "Some people may think that a con­ gressman saves a pile of money out of his salary ," said a well-known southern congressman, who "was. talking to a Washington Star reporter on the vicis­ situdes of running for office, and es­ pecially for congress," but a man has to be a small walking bank to accommo­ date the large nulnber of his 'friends' and supporters who need a little money tor some urgent matter. In my state We have to make campaigns and.appear before the people at meetings. . Well, I have never attended a meeting but that I did not have some kind of a subscrip­ tion poked into my face,. -. *• Somebody wants something for a church, and for missionary purposes or for helping- some fellow who has been burned out. "You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest, sum. Then about the time you thinlc -you aire through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: 'How do, gineral?' I had tcr quit my work tercome out and hear you terday, and I thunk yer mout giv' me a dollar.' While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar. "When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from $20 to $50. These are just a few instances of what a candi­ date has to spend money for. After he gets through thecampaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead beat from his district who should happen to coma to Washington with money. I've ac­ tually given them money and railroad tickets to get home and have them go back and work against me." ( IRONY OF FATE. ® Porsnes Two Eminently Respectable Indies Who Could Not Agree. Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. Tliey were single ladies, be it said, and1 both highly respectable. But for soma reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they, "couldn't get along," and matters went between them from bad to worse till they "quit speaking." They both got tired, of course, living; in the same house with a mortal enemy, and finally both determined to move. Arrangements were made, and, as luck "Would have it, bothT moved the same day. Lady No. 1 loaded up her house­ hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and car­ ried away the trunk, shawl straps, and other effects of lady No. 2. Lady No. 1 was just composing her­ self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when a wagem Btopped at the front door and began to unload a collection of articles unmis­ takably feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady. Her suspicions were true. They had moved into the same houise. * There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in peace and char- lty ever after. But they did not. Lady No. 2 never got "her trunk inside of tha house. DEAF MUTES DANCE. A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps the Step for Them. A social club of deaf mutes exists in Warsaw since 1883, and as there are a large unmber of persons thus afflict­ ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the club is doing very well. During tho last week of carnival the club arranged a ball, and in order to enable the mem­ ber to dance to the music in time, a very curious plan was adopted, which proved quite efficient. A large paper doll was rigged up on the piano, and the player, also a deaf mute, who fur­ nished the music, which, of course, could not be heard by the members of the club, used a pedal to make the paper figure move up and down in time with the piece played. A large sign alongside announced the character of the dance, and thus it became possible for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances as if they were not afflicted with their organic shortcomings. Besides that, they were spared the agony of those who could hear, for some wag had tam­ pered with the piano, which was fright­ fully out of tune, even the player never noticing that fact. The deaf mute3 danced into the early morning hours and unanimously voted the entertain­ ment a magnificent success. DEAD, YET ALIVE. * interesting Enoch Arden Case in an English Court. A curious Enoch Arden case, in which the lord justice of appeal had to inter­ vene in order to bring a man to lifal again legally, has just been decided in England. Forty-two years ago a wom­ an married a sailor in the British navy, who deserted, went to the United! States and was not heard of again fon 36 years. Six years after his disap^ pearance she married another rating with whom she lived for IS years, but from whom she at last obtained a judi­ cial separation and alimony in lS93i Tho second husband pleaded that hisi marriage was null, as her first hus­ band w*as alive at the time, but the jury} in the divorce court found that tho manl was dead. Last year husband No. 3| discovered husband No. 1, brought suit again and prodjicj/wHiim in court, wheraj he was fully identified, but the judgoi held that, as a jury had declared he waaf dead, he could not"admit that he waaj alive and dismissed the suit. The appel-j late judges seem to be of his opinion^ for they refused to allow the appeal and annul the marriage on the ground of the man's being alive till the second husband had given security that ha . wou^d pay the woman an allowance.
