THE REAL KAISER.

MOST TALKED OF MAN ON EARTH-
.ROYAL‘TAILOR’S DUTIES.

 

William IL, His Vanities, His Foibles, His
Clothes, His “'ays, His Habits and
His Hume Life, as D‘escribea By a
Frenchman. 3 3 . ,_
The fierce light that beats upon a

throne burns to—day with fiercer lustre
than ever. The occupants of those
thrones no long er shun its glare—in-
deed, they mo. usually as anxious to
court it as if they were star actors
yearniu" to get under the calcium
light on the mimic stage.

Emporei William is not a man of
scholarly attainments. He was rather
a dull pupil at school. His younger
brother tar outshone him. When, at
eighteen years of age, he left the Col-
lege of Cassel to proceed to the Uni-
versity of Bonn, , William was only

tenth in a class of seventeen. But this 3

was through no lack of wish to excel.
He was a hard worker and gained one
of the three medals reserved for the

.3 three most studious- pupils“

enough, he .loves Paris
His, mind srill
goes back with delight to the few
lollicking (1.111s he spent in the French
capital in 1378. But despite his Eng:-
lish mother he has never felt any af-
fection either for England or the Eng
iish.

It is said. that long ago, when he '11s
only :1 Prince. he was seized at re-
view with a bleeding of the nose. As
the otiir-ers of his staff pressed around
him be reassured them.

Curiously

 

\VILLIAM.

EMPEROR
“Donot trouble yourselves about it.
gentlemen: it is only the last drop of

English blood .escaping from
veins. ”

He loves the army and is beloved by
it in return. After leaving the Uni-
versity of Bonn he turned his chief
attention to his military education: Al-
ways the. first at parade, he was the
last 'to seek repose. He exacted much
from his men, but more from himself.
On the very eve of hismarriage he
was commanding, as captain, a com-
pany which he was drilling at Potts-

111 y

.dam, while acaording to ancient cus-

tom, his betrothed was making her
triumphal entry into Berlin. His fam-
ily and his future wife only saw him
for a few moments in the evening.
of his religious cere-
mony, at six o'clock in the morning,
he was once more at Pottsdam, to give
a medal to a sergeant-major. He said
to the officers, who were astonished
to see him at such a momengz—
“Gentlemen, I am only doing my

“But,” said the sergeant—major, un-
der his breath, “when I was married
I had a week’s leave.”

He has carried the same traits into
his imperial life. His energy is pro-
verbial. He never rests, and profes-
ses the deepest horror of idleness.

Moreover, his capacity for work is
prodigious.
At levees the Emperor pays his

guests some original attentions. Dur-
ing the course of a levee he will
change his uniform five or 3six,times.
Thus, for instance, ,ifgfithe son of a de-
ceased general of the artillery comes
to announce to William II. the death
of his father, the Emporer. does not
fail to put on his artillery uniforru
to do honor to the officer who has
died'in his service. He wears the uni-
f0rm of. a general of artillery,1oi
cavalry. of infantry, or the naval uni-
form, according to the person he re
ceives and the position that person oe
cupies.

If the Emperor receives foreign rep-
resentatives or' military ataches of
foreign Powers he wears the uniform
of the army of the country which the
visitor represents, or at leaSt the Orders
belonging .0 that country.

This fatiguing ceremony lasts till
about half-past two. The Emperor
then joins his children, who are al-

5 ready at table, and takes his second
breakfast with them.

He then visits certain great function
cries, generals and ministers, and dis
cusses state alfalrs with them. He
visits an artist and sits for a picture
or a bust. He inspects the barracks
and the public oilices, and, if he has
time, he concludes the afternoon with
a carriage drive, which lasts till five
or six. 0 ‘cl3ock. - .

At ,h’alf-pas’t six. he again receives
persons: who have some communica-
tion to make to him, or who come to
consult him 0113' military of civil busi-
ness. I-Ie reads reports and signs pa,
11ers which weie presented to him in

the morning, but "which he wished to

think over. ; 3'inally. at seven o’clock,
he dines with his family.

on leaving the table the Emperor
devotes” some time‘to his children, .w’bo
have spent the day in. their studies,
or in physical exercises, and then be

 

. returns to work.

 

In the evening, as a novel recrea-

tion, the Emperor practices fencing.
Toward ten he takes a light repast
and then. retires to his- bedroom. At
a‘little after ten he summons his valet
to help him to undress.
{On a. table beside his bed there are
always placed paper and pencil, in or-
der that the Emperor may make a note
of anything that occurs to him before
he goes to Sleep or'before he gets up
in the morning.

SHORTEST TELEGRAPH LINE.

It Begins and Ends in the New York Stock
Exchange.

Probably the shortest independent
telegraph line in the world is the one
contained within the walls of the New
York Stock Exchange. It is little'
more than fifty feet in length, extend-
ing only from the first to the fourth
floor of the famous money mart, yet
it is perfect in mechanical detail, and
over it during operating hours passes
a volume of business exceeding that of
trans—continental wires.

This unique telegraph system is em-
ployed solely in rnepc ting the transac-
tions of the or. change. One terminus

. of the. line is. on the exchange floor,

the other is in the top of the building.
a flight above the point to which tin-
elevators run and where none but
trusted employes of the telegraph com
pany are admitted.

Here. in two little rooms side by
side. are the offices of the New York
Stock Quotation (.‘oznpany, where rec-
ord of all the exclunge operations is
received and is transmitted to “tick-
ers” in every part of the city almost
as soon as the transactions are com—
pleted downstairs. Inside the ofiice
are six operators selected from many
hundred for their skill, rapidity and

' trustworthiness to carry on this confi‘

dential work. Nothing is left to the
honesty of the operators, howeVer.
From the time they enter the office, at
1 in the morning, until the exchange
closes, :‘11t lin the afternoon the doom.
which often] the only means of en
trance. or exit, are closed and locked.
Outside on the stairway stands a. uni-
formed guard, who warns away all
would—be intruders and keeps watch
and ward, over the men themselves.
The business transacted in the of-
fice at the top of the exchange build-
ing is of a peculiar kind, being made
up entirely of the record of quotations
and sales. The method followed 1'1

3 ., doing this work is interesting, as il-3
. ’ lustrating the perfection otquick com-

munication. There may be 10,000 quo-
tations sent out in the course of a day,
but so complete is the system that
every sale or offer is reported in 2,000
ofiices in from ten to thirty seconds of
the time when it takes place.

All the business on the floor of the
exchange is transacted by verbal
agreement. and when the market is
brisk there is a. perfect fulisade of
bids and sales. Fourteen official
""1e1101texs" jot do11n the record of all
transactions on little slips, which are
then rushed over to the telegraph
desk, :1 distance of perhaps twenty
feet, and promptly placed on the wire
which runs upstairs.

'At the other end of the line the oper-
ators are. ready to receive the mes-
sage and. put it on the outreacbing
lines. When business is running in
ordinary course there is no copying
in the upper office and each trans-

mitting Operator takes the message by '

car as it is clicked off and puts it on
his own wire without waiting for the
receiving operators to pass it to him,
so that the printing of the quotations
on the tape of every ticker in the sys-
tem is practically instantaneous with
the touch of the transmitting operato1
on the exchange floor.

But when there is a rush this meth-
od cannot" be followed In that case
two receiving operators are stationed
with each sender, one seated on either
side of him. They take down the mes-
sages as they come and pass them on
(.0 the transmitter He sends them Out
alternately, being able to work twice
as fastas the receivers. ‘

“The men employed in the stock
quotation office are all flexperts” said
the Superintendent of the exchange
telegraph in answer to a question. It
requires a special training to master
our system and become familiar ,3with'
all g' the characters employed in our
work. - ' 3' '

The Crumble Girl’s Lament.

“It’s a terrible misfortune to be able
to. do things,” commented one girl to
her sister, who possesses the knack of
doing everything, from millinery to
scrubbing. It is true that such a per-
son is apt to be overworked by her
friends, who, seeing the deft fingers
work so quickly, are too forgetful of
the strength used in gratifying their
requests to “‘just help me out on this
dear, you do it so beautifully.” How-
ever, it is well to teach girls to do
everything that they are likely to need
to know in everyday life 01' emergen-
cies. But with all the rest of the
knowledge, impress upon the girls a
regard for their own strength and the
power to say no when nerves cry out
that the limit of healthful endurance
is reached.

Easy for Anyone.

We do not believe it necessary to be a. chemist
in order that the good qualifies of Vinol may
be recognized. Anyone can ascertain how de~
lieious Vinol really tastes. A very few days
will convince the most skeptical how much
better its action' is than that of cod liver oil,
and how much more quickly it does good.

Following' 13 an extract from a letter 1v ritten
by Mr. CharlesN. Swift 9. well known chemist
of Brockton, in which he attributes much of
Vinol’ 5 success to the above reasons.

“I have made a. careful study of Vinol and
find it to be in every particular as you repre.
sent it. It is most delicious to the taste, and
very effective in its action. To this it owes
in a. large measure its usefulness in creating a
healthy appetite.”

It is a fact that the public have learned to
recognize the benefit of taking less medicine
and' in a. concentrated form It IS also a fact
that the public appreciate being able to take
such a. medicine in a. form that IS delicious

to the taste and will not upset the “crunch.
This' 15 the reason that Vinol will entirely sn-
persede cod liver oil in any form we hurl
hitherto known it. Yours very truly,

Sneclal Vinol representative.
