prince Henry when thje latter returned
trom his recent visit to this country.
As a matter of fact, says, a London ex
change, although Emperor William is
the greatest kisser of men among the
sovereigns of the world, he is also a
hearty hand-shaker and the freest, of
all monarchs in this particular... In
deed, he and the king of Italy are the
bnly supreme rulers who shake hands
at all with other than brother cover
eigns. "
The kaiser reserves his kisses f?:r
royalty exclusively. When he vkiis
a monarch of receives a visit from one
he salutes him with six kisses three
on each cheek. This sometimes be
fore a crowd of thousands of onlook
ers, not to mention a regiment or so
of soldiers. -
But the war lord will shake hands
with almost anyone. He has a grip
that is famous among his subjects, too,
and the favor of his hand clasp is not
assiduously sought by those who have
had some experience with it. His
majesty has a big strong Band, with
muscles like iron. They have been cul
tivated by many years cf sword ex
ercise. His handshake is one that is
not soon forgotten, and when he
greets a visitor with a handshake they
say at court: "His majesty has made
another lasting Impression."
Tills gripV it is only fair to say be
reserves for strong men. For t$e op
posite sex he has a hahd that is as soft
as velvet and a courtesy that is elegant.
KAISER NEVER CROWNED.
Sor Werehe Fatner and Grandfa
ther of Germany's Present
. " - Rnler.
Probably . few people aut. of
Ensr-
land regard with more interest the
proceedings with regard to tbe king's
coronation than his imperial nephew
at Berlin, and all the more so that,
as emperor, he is still uncrowned, as
were his father and grandfather be
fore him. . The reason why is some
thing of a 'mystery, states the Paris
Messenger, but the explanation most
generally, accepted is that the orig
inal imperial crown of the empercr
of Germany is in the hands of Aus
tria, and that she shows no disposi
tion to allow it to leave Vienna.
Bourrienne records tfcat Jtapoleon
said on one occasion: "I have not
succeeded Louis XVL but Charlo
magrne," and adds that in 1804, shorts
ly before lie was crowhed, he had th
imperial insignia of that monarch'
brought from the old Frankish cap
ital and exhibited in Paris with
those made for his own coronation.
But Mr. Bryce, in his "Holy Roman
Empire,' writes that if this is not a
trick of Xap:le3n Bourrienne was ir.
error, as the regalia of Charlemagne
had been removed from Aix-la-Cha-pellc
by Austria in 1798. , x
The coronation of a German em
peror would be an event of such pro
digious historic interest as to throw,
all other coronations into .the shade.
Perhaps there are those living who
may yet witness it.
THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
An
Anelent Order That lias Two
Earoitean Sovercigrna as v
Grand Masters.
The king of Spain has conferred the
order of the golden fleece on the prince
of Wales. The boy king is de facto one
of the grand masters of an order which
was instituted at Bruges, by Philip,
duke of iBurgundjv who was, styled
"the Good," as far back as February
10, 1429. The other grand master of
the order isj of course, the emperor of
Austria. The fleece went to the Hapsr
burgs "by arrangement,', after the
death of Charles of Burgundy, the
"Fighting TemeraireMn 1477, by the
marriage of Mary of Burgundy with
Archduke Maximilian, afterwards em
peror of Germany. So it got to Spain.
When the line 6f the Spanish Haps
burgs had become extinct, Austria
claimed the sole grandmastership, and
diplomacy had to intervene. In the
result, the grandmastership became
a dual affair. To wear the golden fleece
of Austria you must be a sovereign,
a prince of a reigning house, or a most
illustrious noble. Presumably, you
must prof ess the old religion..; On the
latter point Spain is less exacting.
Battle Between Horaea and Tlarer.
A two-year-old Indian tiger was
killed in a fight with Jrdrses on a circus
trajn while en route from Goshen to
Poughkeepsie, a few days ago.- The
tiger, which had been recently im
ported, -escaped from its wagon den
while the tram was in motion. It
crawled over the tops of four wagons
and 'entered -.-a-- car containing 30
draught horses. A fierce battle ensued,
the panic-stricken horses plunging and
kickingjit -the savage intruder. Svhen
the train . was stopped, the tiger
was found, dead and mangled under the
hoofs of one of the horses. - Six of the
horses were badly scratched and bit

To kiss- the fair-haired child;

And breathed a prayer half silently. "
One poured her love on many llvesv
But knew love's toil and carej
Its burden oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear.
She stooped and murmured lovingly:
"Not hardened handsi, dear child, for thee."
Or.e had not known the burdened hands.
But knew the empty heart;

. -Of
late there has been considerable
interest manifested iu Great Britain
relative to the Welsh settlers in the
United States. The matter, however,
lacks the- great interest caused in the
eighteenth century by the statement
that a. tribe of Welsh Indians had been
discovered, states the Chicago Chron
icle. In the seventeenth century John
Josselyn, in his "Voyages to New Eng
land," mentioned that the customs of
the inhabitants resembled those of
ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Her
bert, another traveler of the same date,
in his "Travels," gave Welsh words in
use among these Indians.
A century later reports from several
traders and others were received of
an Indian tribe that possessed manu
script, spoke Welsh and retained cere
monies of Christian worship. Among
other information then published was
the report of Capt. Abraham Chaplain,
Of Kentucky, that his garrison near the
Missouri had been visited, by Indians
who' conversed in-Welsh with some
Welshmen in his" company. Those
Indians were thought, to be descend
ants of a colony said to have been
f ormed by Madoc, son of Owen Gwyn
edd, on his discovery of America in
J170. ,

Several communications have re
cently reached the I Philadelphia Rec
ord asking if the original copy of the
declaration of independence was in ex

be had. It is a rather curious fact
that while facsimiles of the declara
tion were common enough several
'years ago, and were largely used for
advertising 'purposes, they are now
very scarce-so scarce that a Philadel
phia collector only last week offered
ten dollars for one bearing the ad
vertisement of a western railroad. The
original document, preserved in glass,
is still to be seen in the possession of
the department of state in. Washing
ton, but it has become so faded as to
be nearly, illegible, by reason of which
a photographic reproduction Would be
valueless. James D. McBride had
plates made, and secured a .copyright
of them in 1874, but these plates were
later destroyed by lire, and none are
now in existence. ..Consequently - fhe

CTamllr of the King of Denmark Is

. IjonefeTlty.
King Christian of; Denmark is the
t oldest monarch in the world, and there
is every likelihood that he will live
ajld -reign over his people for many
years to come. lie has'pasEedhiseigh-ty-fifth
birthday.; He is one of ten
brothers and sisters, of whom one died
at 21, and the next at 59. ? Four are still
living,, at the active ages of 91, 84, 78
and 77. Queen Louisa was one of a
family of five, of whom one' died at
81, two between CO and 70, and two
at 81. All the six children of the king
and queen are living. -) i
It is a curious fact that during the
last 200 years every Danish king has
either been a Frederick or a Christian.
His present majesty is, of course, Chris
tian IX.. and his father, whom he
succeeded in 1863, was Frederick VII.
In tbe same, way, should all go well,
he will be succeeded by his son, called
Frederick,and a grsndson, called Chris
tian, the last named having been born
in 1889: Thus, , like the late Queen
Victoria, the king has lived to see four
generations in the direct male line
of bis family. - ', r

The ginseng crop, which is found in
the rural districts along the Ohio river
. in Illinois, but principally in the state
I of 'Indiana,' will soon be ripe, and al
ready "sangdiggers are getting ready
to 'harvest the crop, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat of recent date. Gin
seng, is one of the most peculiar crops
of this country, having no local con
sumption, and going far from home be
fore it finds a use. ' ' "
Local agents buy the output and ship
It to agents at San Francisco, who ship
the root to China, where it has a wide
use, being put to a variety of purposes.
The larger roots are carved into idols
and carried to keep off the evil spir
its which constantly hover over the
Chinese; by many it is used as a medi
cine, which will cure any of the ills
flesh is heir to, and others use it as a
seasoning and flavor for foods.
r.t In olden times the virgin forests of
Illinois and Indiana overflowed with
the-root, and an experienced digger
could make good wages. It is now dif
ficult to find and it takes an eagle eye
to discover the peculiarly formed
leaves that indicate its presence. In
the market to-day it is worth from $3.60
to $4 a pound.; . .
SOUP FOR BREAKFAST.
' A NoveL Experiment to Be Tried
.the Soldiers of the French
Soup for breakfast may be the latest
thing from France. (
It was tried last year in the army
when it was issued to the men in one
or two units in the morning in place
of coffee, and, this alteration was so
much liked by the soldier, and gave
such satisfactory hygienic results, it
has been determined to give it a more
extended trial. Accordingly, in order
has been issued by the minister of war
f that until August' 31 next a soup ra
tion shall be issued to all ranks In
the Sixth- army corps, instead of coffee,
every day excepting Saturdays and
Sundays.;
' Early In September reports are to
be sent in by the commanding officers
of all units and by the medical officers,
Jis to tbe results of this substitution of
soup for coffee, and the commanding
o'facer of the Sixth armycorps is to
forward them with, his own remarks
thereon to the minister of war, with a
view to the alteration of the ration,
or, if It should seem advisable, some
modification 'thereof befog adopted
throughout the army..
