Stolzenfels on the Rhine.
By STEPHEN DOUGHTON.
THE ex-kaiser has a somewhat
marvelous ex-palace, known
as Stoizenfels, with quite
wonderful floors—really quite
the last word in wooden floors; so
fine, indeed, that a very considerable
part of a very considerate army of in
vasion views them with some degree
of awe ns it elides over them not in
the hob-nailed shoes of the army but
in very soft felt slippers that slip on
over the array boots. That’s how care
ful the Yankee boys are of the ex
kaiser's ex-property on the Rhine just
a few minutes walk south from
Coblenz.
Stoizenfels is part of the scenery
which Is Included In any tourist’s first
class trip up or down the Rhine. It
sits high on a cliff with an approach
so steep that even the man who brags
eternally about the hills he “takes on
high” would have to admit It’s quite a
grind “In low."
Parties formed under a Y. Si. C. A.
guide leave the “Y” headquarters, Fest
hall, Coblenz, every day at 1:15 to
make this trip. As there are 2,000 sol
diers in Coblenz every day on leave
and 13,000 stationed In and about the
town, many men are always available
and anxious to lake the trip.
Old Keeper Is Amusing.
The old keeper amuses the boys. He
clucks about like an old hen. afraid
the invaders, in the vernacular of the
army, will salvage a few souvenirs. I
To those who speak a little German
he tells how he has been on the ex
kaiser’s pay roll for some forty years, (
always keeping the house splc and ;
span against the day when Hill might ;
drop in—only lie doesn’t call him Bill.
These trips are conducted by II. B.
lunman. a t man or r^vereri. v\nsn.,
who shows the soldiers through the
castle chapel, pointing out frescoes on
a gold ground by Deger. the Life of
Christ, the Creation, the Fall of Man.
the Last Day, and in another room a
rather outstanding fresco by Lasinsky.
showing a Mr. Kfoheiizollern of an old
er generation paying a visit to the bish
op of Trier.
Careful of the Fine Floors.
Then the hoys pass on into the cor
ridor that leads to the rooms with th*
particularly choice floors inlaid with
three different kinds of hardwood.
The guide slips his feet into a pair
of felt slippers, largo enough to cover
an army shoe. Tie* hoys take it sort
of for grunted and do likewise and
soon they are gliding, like a Chinaman
on a slippery pavement, across the
smooth floors.
“Pretty soft for the old kaiser,” re
marks a doughboy, "to have the army
come up here and polish ills floors for
hi in,” and s<» it Is.
The soldiers take In all the natural
appurtenances of a well-regulated cas
tle with great interest. They view old
pieces of armor, costly and elaborate
wood carvings, good paintings, the
kaiser’s own personal dining room, the
rich drinking vessels and tankards.
They are making the best of their stay
in the vicinity of Germany's favorite
little river, the Rhine, and are storing
up “heaiicoup knowledge.” against the
day when curious ones at home shall
he asking them about all the sights
• verseas.
The trip Is part of the Joint efforts
of the army and the *‘Y” to entertain
soldiers on leave, for Coblenz, in addi
tion to being Third army headquarters,
is also leave tenter,

MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS
People of the Faroe Islands Cannot
Truthfully Be Accused of Un
due Curiosity.
The Faroe Islands are u bleak and
rain-swept group lying on the steamer
route between Norway and Iceland.
They are recommended to the traveler
who would escape the prying eye of
curiosity and the stare of the crowd.
A man with a great secret In Ills life
could emigrate to the Faroes, secure
In the consciousness that he might live
there for 20 years and his neighbors
would probably never even wonder
why he came.
Every visitor to the little archi
pelago notices this characteristic atti
tude of mild IndifTerence on the part
of the natives, so different from the
nsuni frank curiosity shown by Isolated
peoples In strangers from foreign
lands. The Islanders are kindly enough,
hut they do not go out of their
way to show It. They are com
pletely Immersed In their own hum
drum concerns of fishing and farming
and they would hardly look up from
their plowing to watch an airplane
' Hy over. It Is said that when tln-lr
I ruling sovereign cante over on a state
visit to the Islands it was necessary
ro go out among tin- people and urge
them to crowd in the ’apltiil city and
stage something resembling an en
thusiastic welcome. At that most of
them got bored and wetg home before
the celebration was half over.
Old-Time Ceremonies.
In olden times the festival of Easter
was celebrated with many ceremonies
and sports. Then, as now, colored
eggs were given. In some places the
children rolled them down hillsides.
In a royal roll of the time of Edward
I preserved In the Tower, appears an
entry of 18 pence for 400 eggs to be
j used for Easter gifts. Town author
ities engaged with due dignity In
games of ball. It Is recorded also that
on Easter Monday the women hail a
right to strike their husbands and ou
Tuesday the men struck their wives,
as In December the servants scolded
llieir masters. From a German author
ity It is learned that in the Neumark
on Easter day the men servants whip
tlm maid servants with switches and
on Monday the maids whip the men.
In some parts of Germany parents and
children try to surprise each other In
boil on Easier morning to apply the
health-giving switches.
It Is tietter to say, "This one thing I
do," than to say, "These forty things
I dabble In " — Washington Gladden.
