THE KAISER'S EVERY-DAY LIFE

The everyday lifa'of the German Emperor is. rather severely systematired. He plunges into his day's work with cheerful and vigorous, alacrity. He is an early riser-in the summer often at and in the winter rarely after '7. During the hunting season 'be gets up even before these hours. Ha regularly bracos him- self with a shower bath, and then he slips into his updress uniform (for, as William I used to say, "dressing gowns are not worn by the Hohenzollern") and goes straight to breakfast.

His meals, as a rule, are simple rather than otherwise. His breakfast is. of the "English kind, consisting of coffee or tea, toast, eggs, beefsteak, or a cutlet.. Luncheon is served at

mets.

JOBBING DEPARTMENT.

At table the Kaiter profera young Moselle wines; they and the Rhine wines in his cellars. come from his own vineyards. He also fro quently drinks o glass or two of Bordeaux or German mousseux; the Rhine wines of older vintage and the French champagnes make their appearance only at larger dinners or for guests. In Rhine wines and Moselles the cellars of the Emperor are probably unrivalled. As a good "Teuton, the Kaiser is naturally very fond of beer, Munich, Culmbach or Wurzburger. For many years he drank of this deep potions after supper in the midst of congenint invited quests, so-called Bierabende; also at bis

card parties (for he is rather fond of taking a band' at skat, a very interesting German game, which is played by him, however, only for low stakes), and at the Liebesmabler, or regimental ban- quels, which take place almost every day in the year at the various garrisons within the

empire.

The Emperor of Germany is an indulgent husband, but a rather severe father. He be- lieves in a soldierly training for his boys, such as he himself had. He makes on exception in the case of his only daughter, whom he affec.. tionately styles his "Nesthakchen" (a term po- pularly employed in Germany for the last born), and who abitually takes liberties with the dread War Lord which bis own wife would shrink from. She is a very cogaging little person, this Victoria Louise; and even in the presence of company this dianty miss has been seen to pull her father's inustache and dandle herself on bis knee in the most brazen manner.

Though usually dictatorial and rather gruff with his sons, the Kaiser is by no means lacking io affection for them. Once, when the Kaiser had won a trophy-namely, a silver tankard filled with three mark pieces-at a sharp- shooters' contest where he had been the guest of honour, he turned to his aide-de-camp, tell- ing him to take care of the prize, but putting the money loosely into his trousers, saying "That's pocket money for the boys." Very often, when a guest at banquets, he will stuff his coal-tail pockets with sweetmeats from the dessert to make a like use of them.-Wolf von Schierbrand in Lippincott's,

THE FAMILIAR GAS MANTLE.

ť

It is strange bow, by almost an accident, a new impetus was given to the gas industry by the discovery of the mantle." Dr. Carl Auer von Welsbach was seeking a new filament for the electric bulb, which would give more light than the filament made from hair, cane or wire, and to this end was experimenting with certain of the rare earths, Dr. von Welsbach noticed that when some of these earths came into contact with the bluer flame of his stove a very intense light appeared.

It then became a matter of a very short time had produced this light. There he found to be when he was able to discover what chemicals

thorium and cerium, combined in a proportion of 99 per cent of the thorium and 1 per cent of the cetium. If the chemicals were made plastic and molded they were too thick to be beat ed sufficiently to emit an appreciable light. the following experiment shows: Then came the clever part of the invention, as

Take a little water and add common wit until no more salt can be dissolved. In this solu- tion soak three or four pieces of cotton thread about twelve inches long, loosely twisted to gether and knotted at each. After a few moments remove the threads and let them thoroughly dry; then suspend them in a coo venient manner and tie at ng weight, such as a finger ring, to one end of the threads. You can now burn out all the original cotton if it is perfectly dry by applying the flame of an alcohol lamp or a wax taper at the top, and the salt crystals remaining, will have sufficient cohesive power to support the ring.

mantle made, by substituting the thoriumcerium compound for the table salt and the woven webbing for the strands of thread." -The colon is impregnated with the salts of the rare carību, shorium and cerium. This impregnation hav ing been completed, the webbing is thoroughly dried and then cut into requisite lengiha, and one end doubled in and plaited and sewed with thread made from asbestos in such a manner as to form the loop at the top of the mantle.

The fabric is stretched over a wooden form of the shape of a finished mantle, only much larger, after which it is lifted off and suspended by a wire, and the flame of a gas burner is applied to the top, exactly as was done with the salted cotton, and the original cotton thread gradually burns away, shrinking, the mean- while, leaving what has been characteristically called by a patent attorney a coherent skele ton of earthy oxides.

In other words, merely another form of the sait crystals retaining the shape of the thread. The mantle having shrunk more nearly sp- proaches the size of the complete article, but

af is extremely fragilo, and indefinite shape, so that it must be subjected to the in tence beat of a gas flame mixed with compress ed air, In about two minutes this blast flame will shape the mantle and barden it sufficiently to permit baudling.

Though now fairly strong, the mantla will not stand the rough usage of shipment, so it is still forber treated by being steeped in in paraly fin varnish which fills up the openings and otherwise stiffens the mantle. It is this yarnish which is burned away when a new mantle in fitted, leaving the mantle in the same conditión it was in after it had been subjected to the
