Emperor William's Character.
As the German emperor is the per-
*on with whom the world's peace is
most bound up, light on his character
has more than personal interest. A re-
cent book on Germany has a chapter
devoted to the kaiser. The Boston
Herald, summarizing it, says it shows
that Bismarck's policy, both foreign
and domestic, ran an even course; but
that no sooner had the kaiser got rid
of him than Germany's foreign polit y
became fitful, enigmatic and unstable,
a replica of the emperor's impulsive
character. The Herald goes on: "An-
other element of weakness in the gov-
ernment is its lack of stability. 'The
emperor,' it is said, 'considers his min-
isters not as experienced and inde-
pendent chiefs of the departments of
state, entitled to opinions of their own,
but as the executors of his will, and
he removes them as soon as they do
not succeed in fulfilling his wishes.'
The domestic policy of the emperor is
depicted as equally unfortunate. His
arrogant imperialism and lack of tol-
eration have driven the liberal ele-
ments of Germany into the ranks of
the social democratic party, which is
tio more exclusively a party of malcon-
tents recruited from the laboring
classes, but now includes numerous
manufacturers, merchants, bankers,
profession^ men, etc., a proof of dis-
content among the middle classes.
Summing up the net result of the em-
peror's increasing activity during the
17 years of his reign, the author finds
that Germany has lost ground and
prestige in foreign politics, and at the
same time the emperor has communi-
cated his own nervous restlessness to
the rest of the world. The lack of true
perspei tion, foresight and especially of
stability is given as the reason foi
these disappointing results."
Woman's Inventive Genius.
It is not true that woman lacks
creative genius. In fact, the inven-
tive talent is marked in woman.
There is usually something original
in her makeup, asserts the Washing-
ton Star. The rude masculine observ-
er who makes the charge that woman
is defective in creativeneis is wrong.
He has noted that when one woman
begins to wear a certain or uncertain
fhape of hat every other woman must
have the same shape, be it shapely or
shapeless. He has observed that when
one woman switches the fullness of
the sleeve from the elbow to the
shoulder or back again from the shoul-
der to the elbow every other wom-
an must do the same. He has ob-
served that when one woman designs
to bake a cake she insists on bor-
rowing the neighbor's recipe, though
this argue3 more for woman's rever-
ence for precedent than for her lack
of originality. The observer has a'so
noted that the first woman got « ff
the first street car backward and that
ever since every other woman has
done the same thing.

Insects and Disease
The science of medicine seems to be
en the verge of a vast change. If the
reputed discoveries are reliable, physi-
cians will have to abandon their medi-
cine chests and turn themselves into
entomologists. The alleged discovery
that the mosquito described as ste,T-
omvia was alone responsible for yel-
low fever was sufficiently startling,
but this has been followed by a host
of discoveries which threaten to im-
pose upon insects the sole responsibil-
ity for the spread of disease. Accord-
ing to the president of the Medico-
Chinirgical college in Philadelphia
there are 70 varieties of house flies
which spread disease. They appear to
wallow in tlie genns of typhoid fever,
and they can communicate it to per-
sons, which may account for the fact
of so much typhoid fever during the
bummer and autumn in places where
no p'-rms could be found in the drink-
ing water.

We had the darndest time get-

He said he had watched it every day,
and knew how to do it, and lie could

scared to have pa try to run that ani-

A New York clergyman some f- w
weeks ago was playing golf on the
links of the Mount Airy club, near
Philadelphia. In the course of the
tame he drove into a bunker, where-
upon his partner heard him exclaim:
"Croton!" The latter did not under-
stand, but said nothing. Shortly after-
ward, upon slicing his ball into the
long grass, the clergyman again ejacu-
lated: "Croton!" "What do you mean
by that word 'Croton,' Mr. K—?" in-
quired his partner. "It sounds like an
exorcism." "No," said the reverend
gentleman, "but it expresses my feel-
ings exactly." ' How so?" "Why, it
represents the biggest dam in the
world."

upon it as a crime, and tell them it

kept mauling him, and finally the
lion jumped up on the pedestal and
seemed to say: "Bring on your horse,"
and pa started the horse, and Mr. Lion
made his jumps all right, and the au-
dience cheered pa.
All the animals went through their
stuntr all right, but I thought I could
see they were laying for pa, and I
wished he was out of the cage. The
wind-up came when the lions were
seated on benches, and the elephant
was between them, and the tigers and
leopards made a pyramid, and the
monkey wan clawing around pa's legs.
The signal was about to be given for
the animals to return through the
chute, when the monkey tackled pa's
legs like a football player, the ele-
phant pushed pa over, and the lions
pawed him and snarled, and the
tigers took a mouthful out of pa's
pants, and tho leopards snatched hi3

lor thein to get out of the cage, and
they went out like boys at recess,
leaving pa in the cage with the blind
horse, with not clothes enough left
on him to wad a gun. He was not
even scratched, however, the animals
having just combined to humiliate pa.
The audience cheered. Pa said

Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., is fully quali-

Read Mrs. Diinmick's letters.
Her first letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
" I have been a sufferer for the post eight
years with a trouble which first originated
from painful periods—the pains were excruci-
ating, with inflammation and ulceration of the
female organs. The doctor says I must have
an operation or I cannot live. I do not want
to submit to an operation if I can possibly
avoid it. Please help me."—Mrs. Mary
Dimmick, Washington, D. C.
Her second letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
41 You will remember my condition when I
last wrote yon, and that the doctor said I
must have an operation or I could not live.
I received your kind letter and followed your
advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. As my case was so serious it seems a
miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe
not only my health but my life to Lydia E.
Piukhain's Vegetable Compound and to your
advice. I can walk miles without an ache or
a pain, and I wish every suffering woman
would read this letter ami realize what you
can do for them."—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th
and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. (J.
How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
and how little it cost her—a two-cent
stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply!
As Mrs. Dimmick says—it saved her life.
Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands
of just such letters as the above, and
offers ailiny women helpful advice.
