His homo com big. after bis two months' ub-fit-iicc,
was in simple fashion except for tho
crowd that awaited him.
lie was to conio in from bis ItabolsbfTfj

on Aug. SI. would arrive nt 1 :'JU o'clock,
'so tho police on duty near the jialaco in
formed tho crowd atheriiig ihero us early as
'J clock. Tl.oy waited hour fifter Lour,
some holding to good points .f view, others
moving up and down the Linden.
The crowd before the emperor's palaco is
mi every day scene when ho is here. Tho
peoj.Io never tire of it. Tho feeiing gi-ows
wilh tho years of the old .sovereign, for they
know that a man past It J is not hkt-ly to smile
find bow to them from Lis window much
lon;.;r. The German crowd is not a gentle
one. It pushesand soramblesand is frequently
rude. On ti.e o'.h'-r hand, it is not noisy. The
people will stand for two or three hours before
t h i cuipiror'a palace, patiently wailing, und
itlan.st. silent. They wiil pti-.ii and pre s for
eligible places, but without any words. If
the peopl.'j i-liooso t ) stand befoi'e tho palaces
all day, they may do so, provided they do
not encroach on tho drive. They usually fail
buck to tho oi n sp ieo about the big eques
trian statue of Frederick tho (.treat. Here
the police do not, perhaps dare not, interfere.
This is directly m front ot the emperors win
dows. Hut on the day of the kaisers return
the crowd was much too large for the protec
tion of Frederick tho (treat. It spread ail
along the Lin. ion, where Ihe kaia'. r drove from
the station.

A little later a plain, oprn victoria and
pair of black horses l .ft the palace gates and
irove to the station to bring tho emperor.
The em purer was not. quito alone. His fa
vorite aide, (.'omit L hendoi II', who is usually
wilh him, aat on his left .wearing thebriiliant
uniform of tlu (lanl-e du 0ns, his silver
h.'imet shining out fe-an thotui't of white
feathers. Tho emperoj-'s uniform was that of
an infantry gen. rai and was strikm-'.y plain.
Il was of dark b'ae el. th, the coat alone re
lieved by collar an.l '.-nil's of scarlet cloth. He
wore a cap of dark blue cloth, wilh a band of
s.-ai h t cloth around it.
As he slowly drove along (he Linden, smil
ing, hii band raircil i:i salute, looking not at
all like a sick man, but quite well, t ho cheers
broke forth, and, like a wave of ouud, roiled
on after him, sweliin into "Hooh ! lloeh!
lloch!'' shouts of lelihr. and satisfaction.
And when the carriage pas.-od on to the pal
ace door the crowd rushed across the street,
closed in abcut the portico, and tho police
made mi effort to stay the tide.
The kaiser step), d from the lowly victoria,

No footmi :. was in a: ie;idance. Count Lo

emperor's si l-e and waited for him to go in,
then followed into the palace. The trim
young ccaeh;mn in black and silver livery
drove slowly back to tho gate, handling tho
ribbons with coiu-cious priJe. Tiiu crowd
watched the carriage m pleased silence until
it disappeared bdiind the gates. Then the
people moved about to rest themselves.
Ltut not to go away.

They waits I nearly another hour. Tho po
lice tell them that the emperor would hardly
come to the window; that he was fatigued
and must get w. 11 rested for the review tho
next, tiny, llur the people know better and
they waited. Umbrella. were put down to
give un unobstructed view of the corner win
dow, where ihe e::iper.'rmostoften appears.
All tho babies were hoisted on the shoulders
of their fathers, or raised a-; high as possible
in their mothers' r.rzus, and tho small boys
squeezed into every opening along the front
of the crowd.
Then the tmpeivr came to the window, as
they knew he wo;-!.!. They threw i:p hats,
waved bandkorchk fs, and shouted ami dashed
in a mass r.cvro-s the street to get nearer the
window. Then 'iloc-lil I loch I Koch!"' ex
pressing the heigh L of German enthusiasm,
burst out, and llie shouts must have p -ne-t
rated the very walls of the palace. The line,
kiu.iiy face at the window Le.imcd with
smiles, and the next minute Ike old i.ais:cr had
his handkerchief up waving it nt the crowd.
Then the men and women laughed with de
light, the babies clapped their hands, and tho
small boys, irre pressible in Germany as else
where, vented their joy in sin-ill whistles. It
was enough, for one day. The kaiser was at
Lome, the people were satisfied, and the crowd
di.-jvised.
Later in the afternoon tho empress came,
driving quietly from the station, unattended
i) the palace. Her open carriage was drawn
by a pnir of brown horses, and the coachmr.n,
a smooth faced young f -liow, wore silver and
brown livery. The empress is fifteen years
youngtr than the trnjieror, but looks mere
than fifteen years his senior. Few people
wore about, and tho empress' arrival caused
no demonstration. New York sjun.

Catching Tyut WltH "Slieepweed."
There is a plant popularly known us
"sdieepweed" which grows in great profusion
r.n.und sheep pens, hence its name. This
weed is possessed of decidedly pcisonou3 or at
least deleterious qualities, and tho Indiana
gather a quantity of it and set it afloat on a
pool in the river, and standing down stream
from it they thrash it with tree branches
until the juice exudes anil becomes mixed
with tho water. The result is that every
trout for a hundred yards or bo below that
point is "doped," or stupefied and rendered

FORAGERS IN THE SADDLE.
Carrying OiT Haiut and Hwoct Potatoes
in tlio race of tlio Enetiiy.
Wo were- proud of our foragers. They con
stituted a picked force from each regimen',
Uudor an ol'lear seloctud for tho command,
and were romarkablj for intelligence", spirit
iml during. lieforo daylight, mounted on
horses captured on the plantations, lhty were
in tin: saddle and away, covering the country
Fometimes Feven miles in advance. Al'.hom'ii
I have said ':in tho saddle," many a foi::g"r
had nothing !otter than a bit of oarp''t cr.d a
ropo baiter; yet this simplicity of equipment
did not abate his power of carrying 4f hams
find Eweet potatoes in the face of tho enemy.
Tho foragers were also important as a sort
of advanced guard, for they formed virtually
a curtain of mounted infantry screouin us
from the inquisitive eyes of parties of Wheel
er's cavalry, with whom they did not l.esitato
to engage when it was a question of u i lcli
plantation.
When comjicllcd to retire, they resorted t
all the tricks of infantry skirmishers, and
.summoned re-en forcemen is of foiag. rs from
other n-ginjents to help drive tho "Johnnies"
out. When success crowned their efforts, tho
plantation was promptly stripped of live
ntock and eatables. Tho natives were uc
custnme.1 to bury provisions, for they f erred
their own soldiers quito r.s much an they
feared ours. Thoso subterranean stores wcro
readily discove red by tho practiced "Yankee"
eye. Tho appearance of tho ground mid a
httlo probing with a ramrod or a bayonet
soon decided whether to d;g. Tear.is wcro
improvised; carls and Vehicles of all sorts
were pressed into the service and loaded wis.li
provision;;. If any antiquated militia uni
forms were discovered, they were promptly
donned, and a comical procession ejeorted
tin; valuable train of booty to the point where
the brigade was expected to bivouac for ih j
night. Tho regimentals of the past, ovan to
those of revolutionary times, were often con
spicuous. Oa an occasion when our briada had tho
advance, several parlies of foragers, consoli
dating themselves, captured a town from the
C'lemy's cavalry and occupied tee ncijhbor
i'lg plantations, lieforo the arrival of tho
j'-aiu column hostilities had ceased; order bad
b. en restored find mock urrnugeiuuuts were
made to receive the army. Our regiment in
tlio advance was confronted by a picket
orc.-;-ed in continental uniform, v. ho waved
his plumed hat in response to the gibes of tha
men and galloped away on Lis bareback mule
to apprise his comrades of our approach.
Wo marched into tlio town and rested on each
fiide of the main street. Presently a forager,
in ancient militia uniform indicating high
rank, debouched from a side street to do tho
honors of the occasion, lie was mounted on
a Uozmnntu with a bit of carpet for a saddle.
His old plumed ohapeau in hand, ho rode
wilh gracious dignity through the street, as

Art of .Sliccint; Itaec Horses.
"Do you not think there is almost as wide a
field for the improvement, of the art of shoe
ing race horses as thti-e has been made with
trotting horses tiie usa cf toe weights, etc. "
"Certainly," replied Zlr. Lorillard. Then
he added, with suu.lcu spirit: "I'd tell you
something you may not know; few did. I
ran V.'auda in aluminum dates in nearly all
her races."
"On account or their lightness?"
"Of course; the entire set of four plate
weighed only two and three quarter ounces,
while you know a set of ordinary racing
plates wiil weigh eight or n no ounces. Tu
liil'erenco of weight must be mi advantage;
I should say it was equrd to the difference be-twe-en
a man running in ordinary street shoes
and a pair of light slippers."
"How came you to discover the'idea of tho
aluminum plates?"
"Weil, it had long occurred to mo that if a
light shoe or plate could be mad- it would
give the horse wearing it a great advantage.
1 had several experiments mado in Europe
with ditiiront metals. A great many were
tried and failed. They were light enough,
but not strong enough liable to twi t or
break, and of ccurss dangerous. Finally, out
of a dozen experiments, we evolved tho alumi
num plates."
"Wcro not even those rather delicate and
dangerou-P
"Oh, yes. On some horses they wouldn't no
at a!! Drako Caitei-, for instance. I tri. d
them on him, and ho tore them all to pieces.
Hut on a light moving, perfectly nctioned
horse you could use them. Wanda, you
know, was one of tho smoothest, lightest
movers i;i the world."
"How is it nobody ever discovered your use
cf them;"
"We kept our secret. When I first used
them Byrnes, my trainer, asked me how wo
would keep it from tho boys in tho stable. I
told Li::i to urge 'bad feet,' or some such ex-cii-e.
IJuL it was needless, for nobody ever
noticed it." New York "World Interview.
Druiclieal Stone Scratching Posts.
I went by carriage from Penzance to tho
"jiunpiiKj oiZ place" Jit Land's End. It is a
drive of eleven miles, with nothing of par
ticular interest along the road, excepting; the
'Tilerry ilaideus," the "Blind Fiddler" and
"Pipers." These are tho names popularly
given to tall, upright slabs of stone, the plac
ing of which in the fields is attributed to tho
Druids. Their purpose and date of their
erection are matters of pure conjecture. Ia
the center of every large pasturing tract ir.ny
be seen a stone of smaller size, which lioLody
calis "Druiui.-al," although in general ap
pearance it would pass for a genuine antique.
It is only a scratching pest humanely pro
vided, within the times cf living men, for
the enjoyment of cows and shcrp.
Now suppose that COO hundred years hence
all this land should cease to be pasturage and
become the site of towns and that a few cf
thfeSJ scratching stones should survivo tho
general transformation of tilings, and that
the knowledge of their origiiud function
should le lost. It is entirely conceivable that
in such a case antiquaries might trace them
to tho Druids. If some, hair or wool were
found in crevices of such a stone rubbed il
by the animal i:i Lis ecstasy of scratching it
might be claimed as sufficient- proof of tho
sacrificial object of tho slab, to which ti e
victim was tied up by the Druids and
slaughtered there. Ail of which teaches us to
"go slow" in interpreting tho developments c f

careful scrutiny of 1 bo surrounding hills
when be was iiiipel'e 1 by some inward feeling
to turn his eyes ochni'l him. From that m.H
meiit ho was transformed from an ordinary,
discouraged hunter into a hro, for he beheld,
not thirty feet, from him, a live doer that stood
looking at him und Hupping its large cars i:s
if it wished to .lis -over by sight and sound
the nature of tho obj -ct before it.
Never having had such an experience bo
fore Levau began to think that be was going
to have some fun and tho honor of killing his
first doer, lie was armed with a rifle of
about live pound" pull, but ho had never shot
ono of thoso guns oil'. D-iibet ab ly and qui
etly ho drew the rillo to Lis shoulder and took
aim at the deer's head, saying frequently to
himself, "You're my m at." Having i.imed
several times at tho deer's Lead ho concluded
that ho would not run the risk of missing it
and havo the bo ys laugh at him, so he low
ered the gtm until tho sights were aimed for
the heart of the deer, and ho eontinufd to
pcint the gun at the deer and remark:
You're my meat," for a minuto or more,
lieing under the impression that the animal
was good to stand in that position for a day
or two. At last having made up Lis mind to
pull tho trigger, Frank steadied his nerves
and mentally congratulated himself upon not
getting tho liqek fever.
Then, he says, he pulled that trigger back
at least three inches, and just as he began to
fear that tho trigger was made of elastic .-ud
would never stop going backward tho deer
gave a bound like a football struck by a MOtl
pound man am 1 landed half wuy no the side
of the mountain. At the same tim'? Levan's
arms went up and the ritle was discharged in
the air, tho bullet passing over tho mountain
into the next township. When the other
hunters came to help cut the deer up Frank
told them that he hadn't hit it, as he only had
a snap shot and had no chance of killing it.

A Coming Financial Napoleon.
Banks are viewed as public conveniences
and receive their charters as such. They have
got to be quile personal in their utility, how
ever. Excepting in the smaller bunks it is
next to impossible for a man with moderate
means to open an account unless he happens
to be backed by influence the bunk does l'ot
care to antagonize. 1 went recently with a
friend of mine who wanted to open un ac
count in a state bank that does a heavy busi
ness in private accounts for the trade-men
and wealthy people in a good neighborhood.

At this juncture the president of tho insti

small deposits when the depositors were

when thero was a pause in tho occupation of

who used skillfully to skip across from the
