WEARING ON THE NERVES King Edward's Troubles In Treliinfl Through Germany President ' cf France in Luck Many Rigs of the Kaiser and his Fondness For Chang ing Them. When King Edward VII. was Prince of Wales it was said that the thing he most dreaded in the world was a Journey across Germany. It was too hard work. He didn't mind changing his clothes two or three times a day, but lightning changes of uniform for a whole day tired his nerves and his temper. There was no escape from it however. When he travelled iu State every petty principality through which he passed sent a deputation of Minister and army olilcers to wait on him. Sometimes the reigning prince himself turned out to embrace his august cous in princes and kings are all cousins officially. Of course the only regalia in which these attentions could be properly received was the full Gen eral's uniform of the principality, with its grand cross and a few English and German orders displayed upon the breast. To meet the requirements of such a Journey the Prince had to carry as many trunks with liim as a grand op era tenor and his valet hud to be an expert iu geography as well ns clothes. It would never do to make a mistake. All the suits had to be laid out In accordance with the train schedule, with trousers to cocked hat, with sword and gloves to match. Some of these little German States are only a few miles across. An express truin can make the trip from capital to capital quicker than a careful man can lace himself up and strap hlniBelf down In a German uni form. So occasionally the engineer would have to get a tip to slow down a little so that the visitor might reach the next stop fully dressed for his new part. When kings make foreign visits they usually present themselves iu Ad miral rig If the official reception takes place afloat. They don the same uniform forvlslst uniform for visits to foreign warships in foreign waters, but they may wear the marine full dress of tliflr own service if they visit foreign ships In ports of their realm. When they are received abroad on dry land, they usually put on an army uniform of the country they are visi ting. All the leading sovereigns hold honorary colonelcies of nistorlc regi ments in each other's services. Only the President of French Repub lic escapes the uniform obligation. Like American Ambassadors, his cos- tumse of state is plain evening clothes with tall hat and white gloves. He adds to it, however, the tricolor scarf across one shoulder, which is a gen eral badge of official position in France and the grand cross of the Legion ot Honor. For this he Is said to have an abso lute abhorrence, because with it It is Impossible to conceal the lame, shriv elled left arm with which he has been afflicted since his birth. Wearing a uniform be can rest the helpless hand on his sword hilt and the mutilation Is unuotlceable. But the arm Is not lrng enough for him to put the hand In his trousers pocket when he wears civilian's dress. There are occasions, however, when he wears a frock coat. The story is told ot a visit to England in which he kept the officers who received him guessing by his lightning changes. Tbey spotted him by telescope on the bridge of the royal yacht, Hohen- lollern attired as a General in the German army, so, when they saw an English Admiral step ashore, they all but missed bestowing the proper hon ors on htm. After they boarded the train for London they were invited to a reception in his private car, and found him in the uniform of the First Dragoons, his own regiment. Later they were amazed when he stepped on the platform In London in black frock coat and dark stuff trousers with tall hat and pearl gray gloves. In Berlin he is indefatigable in changes of dress to suit all occasions. When he receives an army officer he puts on the uniform of his corpB. If the son of a dead man comes to do homage for royal condolences the : Kaiser wears the uniform that the dead man was entitled to, whether civil or military. The costume feature of bis recep tions Is so important that appoint ments are always made at such inter vals as to give him time to change and his attendants are furnished by his secretaries with details of the day's programme, with precise Instructions as to the dress and orders that they must have ready at eaoh hour.

Ufcht house In the Luke Tlie.t I "O Miles From Nearest Port. Cut of stunt of land, perched on n pinnacle of rock far out In Lake Su perior and vlnllile only to lake craft which malie Mnriiiutto and other ports nlontf tho south shore east of Keweenaw Point or those which ply from one end of the lake to the old er, is a conical uraystone tower rh inii 102 feet above the level of the water from which every nUlit dur ing the season of navlat Ion thcro flashes a white light every thirty sec onds, warning navigators of the dan ger zone. This Is Stannard Itock lighthouse - the lonesomest spot on the big Inland sea of which Cupt. Chambers of Mackinac Island la keeper. So Isolated Is the lighthouse that the nearest port Marquette is more than fifty miles distant, while the nenrest land of any description is Maniton Island. In clear weather the light 1s visible for a distance of over eighteen miles, and in thick weather there Is a ten inch steam whistle to give warning to passing craft. During the season of navigation the keeper and his assistants while at the rock look out on nothing but sky and wnter except when they sight a passing ship In the distance or the lighthouse tender visits them with supplies. Tho rock Itsolf rises from two and a half to three feet ubove tho leyol of the lake und Is but fifteen or twenty feet In diameter. This pin nacle marks tho site of a dangerous shoal extending north by west and south by east for 290 feet, with a width of 1,500 feet. Close around it, however, is some of the deepest water In Luke Superior, soundiugs having been taken for 600 feet. The lighthouse can only be ap poached on one side, and then when the water Is smooth, for there is an abrupt wall nt the top of the plat form, some thirty feet high, and the boat and all tho supplies are hauled up by a derrick. There have been many occasions when the returning keepers found a heuvy sea running at the lighthouse, so that they could not approach, and have had to take chances of laying by for hours In their little craft not the safest thing to Oo on Lake Superior or of making for the nearest shelter, miles away. A Convenient Exerciser. The apparatus is attached to the bed in such a way that a person can exercise while In a reclining position. In the illustration the apparatus Is sho-n attached to an Iron bed, two upright posts being ulidably mount ed upon the two side rails of the bed and adjustable at any point. The upper framework ot the apparatus couslsts of a number of bars con nected to brackets being adjusted on the upright posts. Elastic cords or spiral springs, having handles at the lower ends, are suspended from the crossbars of the framework. By placing the apparatus at the upper end of the bed exercise of the arms can be indulged in, and then, by re moving to the lower end of the bed, the legs can be exercised. The ad vantages ot this apparatus are that Invalids and fleshy people can, by the use of the same, derive all the bene fits of arm and chest exercises with out undergoing the fatigue of stand ing. Another advantage Is that any person can exercise and develop the arm and chest muscles without un duly taxing the heart and lungs, as Is usual In exercises In a vertical posi tion. Bygone FuMlilon in Beards. English history is rich in examples of the way in which the fashion In beards has changed from time to time. The spies sent out by Harold reported that the Norman Invaders "did almost seem to be priests, be cause they had all their face and both their lips shaven," which Is confirmed In the Bayeux tapestry. It was to distinguish themselves from their hated conquerors that the Eng lish wore their hair long. Stow Bpeaks of long hair as well as beards in Henry I.'s reign: "Men contend ed with women in their long halres, and when this decayed through old ugu, they knit about their heads cer tain rolls und braidings of false hair." The monk Wulstan described the practice of wearing the hair long as "immoral, crluilnul and beustly." When one of his long haired flock knelt for his blessiuK, it is said that he would whip out a knife and cut off as many of tho tresses that lay under his consecrating hand as he could manage in the rather limited lime at his disposal. The atmosphere iu so clear in Zu hiland that objects can bu seen by starlight at a dlstauca of seven miles.

Tho first American photo?;:' t was the sllhouettlst, and tho early American went to him for their port raiture much as the modern American sits before the camera today. The earliest extant type of silhouette was found upon the Egyptian mummy cases and Etruscan pottery. It passed down the generations un til Mme. Pompadour bad her profile made in black upon a white ground by simply casting a shadow with a lamp. Then, according to tho Journal of American History, it Immediately became the fashion throuehout France to have one'8 profile a la Pompadour. It was about this time that Ktlenno de Silhouette. Financial MlnUtur of Louis XV., inaugurated bis rigid sys tem of economy which came so near to parsimony that his name was used as an appellation for everything cheap or shabby. The plain black profiles were bo inexpensive and so common among all classes of people that the ronized Peale, one of the most fam daln: "It's too Silhouette." The first illhouettlst to begin busi ness in America was Charles Wilson Peale in Philadelphia, more than a century ago, and here American socie ty gathered to sit for portraits. The distinguished men ot the day also pat ronized Peale one of the most fam ous of his silhouettes being that of George Washington. One ot tho most noted silhouettlsts to come to America was James Hub ard, an English youth of seventeen, who landed in New York under sDeeial management a few days after the ar rival of Lafayette in 1824. He trav elled about the country exhibiting his Hubard Gallery In which E0 cents the risitor was "entitled to see the exhibition, hear the concert and ob tain a correct likeness by Master Hubard, cut with common scissors In a few seconds without the aid of draw ing or machine." So lucrative seemed the new pro fession that many men entered it, not only profiting financially but also makelng the acquaintance of exclus ive families of the period. One of these was William Henry Brown. So adept did he become that, so It Is said, witn a single glance of the eye he could photograph on his memorv a profile and figure and reproduce it months or even years afterward with absolute accuracy. Brown accumulated money ranidly and spent it lavishly. At the close of his career be left a remarkable collec tion of silhouttes ot many distinguish ed Americans.

It was be fore the strike that the Youth's Companion mentioned that "the school boards ot three western cities are reported to have made it a re quirement that every pupil who enters the high school shall be able to repeat the words ot "The Star Spangled Banner,' 'America,' and 'Hail Columbia.'" One commcutcr on this remarked that "it is a de plorable fact that few audiences are able to sing all the verses of any of our national songs." That com ment is absolute truth. Audiences swing into the opening lines of any of these with a vim. Presently the volume of sound grows less, and still less, recovering itself only on the chorus of the "Star Spangled Banner," or on single lines of "America" here and there. As for "Hail, Columbia," which every school boy and girl used to know, it is doubtful whether any popular audience now would get creditably through even the first stanza. It is very, very far from creditable to us as a people professing to be patrio tic that this is so. The unnamed three western cities whose school boards have formulated the require ment named are distinctly on the right track. Envelopes 75,000 Envelopes carried in stock at the Columbian Office.
