The indillereiice of the placid chilliest ic fowl ;is to what the eggs be neath it bring forth has long engaged the attention of naturalists, who linab ly inscribe it to the natural composure of the creaiure. which is more concern ed for its own tranquility and peace of mind than for the olliei.il regularity of j it posterity.

Kniperor W'iUiani 1 1. of (iernuiny has never allowed his etligy to be en graved upon a postage stamp and phi laletists and the world in general have wondered at tile modesty in this respect of the young Kaiser, who usually is not j averse to having his features displayed ! before the eyes of his admiring suli- I jc-ts. No direct and authentic reason I lias been given why the Prussian black ! eagle lias not been J..ng ago replace,! by j the Kaiser's etligy, but perhaps an ex planation may be found in the strain of .superstition which more than once has iiitiuonoetl the action ,,f th,. Hohen- zobeins. The Prussian stumps issued j from IS'o t ls's bore the image of ! Frederick William IV. Hut the year be- j fore he ln came legally insane he had it replaced Willi tin black eagle, for he ! could not bear to see his countenance j soiled and mutilated by the postnnn-e j employes. A few years ago nij enter- ! prising P.erlln in.-iiiut'u"iu:vr had lead j pencils made upon which was stamped : a bass-relief head of William II. The I minister of education at once ordered j school teachers not to allow their pit- I plls to use tins- partii-ulur pencil- j ".since the chil li-, n might disiigure the fine of their sovereign by lilting the i pencils with their teeth."
