Sands that suggest the tunic are more
ractical for waking skirls than 'the:
tunic draperies that are seen at their
best In the soft materials of house gowns
and evening dresses. The line of trim
arung that is most generally becoming
dips towards the. fron s. t and ri •'s on the
s.drist
giving a slight forward move-
ment.
The designers of children's clothes ad -
hero to simplicity In style and the mak-
ers try (o avoid the mistake of over -
trimming. They are made dainty,
with hand run tucks, brier stitched or
regaled bands, lnsels of fine lace, cm
sprays of embroidery, but the embroi-
dery and lace should be used in. small
quantities and suggest the idea of fin-
ish.
One of the most beautiful while serge
gowns has a direotolre coat with lapels
and cuffs of lavender silk. The skirt Is
fitted up high above the waist in a way
revealed by the coal, and in the front
are two tiny flaps ,piped with lavender.
The front gore is outlined by lavender
piping and small Lucks, commencing at
the hips, and are continued for a dis-

EASY WAY TO REMEMBER DATES.
All you Require is to Comndl These Lines
to Memory.
The following lines committed to mem-
ory, give an easy meliiod of stating off-
hand the day of the week of tory date in
1908; -
Just a mother's arms, my jocund Jean;
A spell o'er Nature's dream,
The number of letters In each word
represents the date of the fins! Saturday
in the particular month to which it cor-
responds; thus, "Just" for January, has
four letters, because the first Saturday in
January is the fourth of that month; "a,"
representing February, has ono letter, as
Se first Saturday in February is the first
day of that month; and so on through
al. the twelve months,
Each word of the twelve, excepting the
first "a," begins with the same letter
its the month it represents. Thus, "Just"
begins with "J" because January begins
with "J"; "mother's begins with "incl be-
cause March begins with "M"; and so on
Bethrough, with the exception of "a"
for February.
Having obtained the dates of the first
Saturdays, the dale of every other Satur-
day in the month is got by the addition
of the necessary number of sevens, from
which it is but a step to any intermediate
day. For example, to know the day nn
which Christmas Day Salts this year,
"dream," standing far December, has five
letters, so the first Saturday in December
is the 5th of 1•hat month; the second Sat-
urday is tho 12th; the Third the 19111; the
25th, being six days more, gives Friday,
six days on from Saturday.

EMPEROR OF GERMANY
11AS FORTY-NINE HOMES, IIUT PAYS
NO 'EtXES.
Would Have Showiest Village In the
World if Ile Could Bring All His
(louses Totelher,
The Kaiser Is trying le have his pay
raised. loo finds it utterly impossible to
ploy ileo role of the great and only Wil-
liam on a mere 39,000,000 a year. The
Prussian Diet will be asked to make a
substantial addition to this tax on the
ratepayers, and itis expected that there
will be a lively protest- For IL will be
remembered that Prussia assurnes the
whole burden of the civil list, Emperor
William taking on the job of Kaiser of
the German empire without pay, writes
a Kerlin, Germany, cor•respondort.
The reason !riven for this request for
higher wages Is the feat that the cast
of living has increased materially in Ger-
many and that his majesty's chamber-
lains erg no longer able to run his "49
castles" as cheaply as beretoforo.
What the Kaiser does with all his cas-
tles is a subject for speculation with all
but the initialed. I! they could all be
bunched they would form a good -steed
village -and a village more pretentious
San any other in the whole world. Some
of his place's are ol• enormous size and
most of thorn are showy in their construc-
tion and style. As a matter of fact,
though, they are all in German parlance
called kaiserliches schloss (imperial
castle), very few of them, such as the
widely known palaces at Berlin and at
Potsdam. are really castles in the strict
sense of the 'word, Many of them, for-
merly built as strongholds, perched upon
peaks, or squatted in the middle of
marshes in order to make them impreg-
nable against attack, have given way
to ambitious modern palaces. But the
word schloss is now applied to any house
et considerable size which a nobleman
owns and occupies.
Among the Kaiser's Berlin palaces the
royal castle on the Spree is one of the
largest and probably
TIIE MOST FAMILIAR
tr, tourists. Originally it was of very
modest. proportions but from time to time
additions have been made, keeping pace
with the growth of influence and power
of the Hohenzollerns, The castle is
gaudy, raw and pretentious in construc-
tion. The walls outside are of stucco
instead of stone masonry. .The preten-
tit:us columns of the salons indoors are
01 imitation marble while the same key-
note of show and pretense governs the
whole structure and all its details.
One more interest is the Charlotten-
burg Castle, a structure much plainer
and of pater construction. It is situated
in a charming parte and is extraordinary
for its great length. Five hundred
metres, I believe, are the correct figures.
At any rate I know that it is only beaten
in this respect by Sohonburg, near Vien-
na, and Nymphenburg in Batavia. This
place was the home of the late Emperor
Frederick III. during his lest short stay
in Berlin. The mausoleum in the park
is the burial -place of Queen Louisa of
Prussia and of her grandson, William,
the first German, Emperor.
One of the most interesting of Kaiser
William's places, historically, is Schloss
Koenigsberg, in the province of East
Prussia. This castle, which was finished
in 1261, wns a famous stronghold of the
order of the Teutonic Knights, one of
the three great military, and religious
orders
lo which the Crusaders gave birth,
the other two being the Templa•s and the
KNIGIITS Oh' SAINT JOHN.
At one time the order was undisputed
roaster of a population of 3,000,000 people
and played a loading role in the political
history of Northern Europe. In the chap-
el of this famous castle Frederick 11I,
Elector of Brandenburg, aroevned himself
as Frederick I, king of Prussia, In 1701.
One hundred and fifty years later, Wil-
liam, who was afterward to be the first
Garman emperor, put upon his head the
same crown in the sane chapel,
Perhaps the most widely ]mown royal
home outside of Berlin is Wilheimshohe,
near Cassel, the summer resort of Jer-
ome Bonaparte while he was king of
Westphalia The Versatles of Germany,
as it has been called, was begun by
Frederick 1h and furnished by his succes-
sor, William, and It is said that 2,000 work-
men were employed for fourteen years
in its construction. Its chief boast is
the great fountain, which throws up a
fist of water twelve feet in diameter to
the remarkable height of 190 feet. Na-
poleon I1I., who was made prisoner at
Sedan with 90,000 of his troops and after-
ward was sent by his raptors to Wil-
helrnshohe Castle, was a great admirer
of the place and used to spend hours
watching the stream of water shooting
tip Into the air,
But all of the Kaiser's other landed
peresessions, be they proud castles, pre-
tentious modern palaces or extensive
villas, sink into insignificance, historic-
ally, when compared with one small,
ALMOST SIJABBY COTTAGE
situated at half an hour's distance by
rail from Berlin. This place is calved
hoenigs-Wusterhausen and once it was
a Tames hunting -ground, situated in. the.
heart, as it is, of a very large forest.
To this day the woods are still frequently
secured by loyal sportsmen. The castle
is a plain, solid building resembling In
appearance a respectable farmhouse of
the second best.
ltaenigs-Wusterhausen was the favor-
ite summer resort, of Frederick William
L, the second king of Prussia, one of the

the Great. Here he spent a few months

SWISS RIFLE CLUBS.

These societies, under government

easy facilities for shooting, and each
men has his service rifle always in his
possession.
Every man between the ages of twen-
ty and thirty-two must fire thirty-two
shots in four compulsory exercises every
year, and the societies reoeive a grant
K two francs for every soldier sheet-
ing this course on their ranges. The in-

subscription as a rule, and heavy ex-
penditure, such as that incurred by the
eonstrurtiorr of new ranges, is met by
a special grant from tri government.
Rules as to speclabers, methods of

any breach or neglect of regulations.
In addition to these exercises, many
competiteons are held between different
villages, towns and cantons. In sum-

with jovial bands of marksmen going

The whole of Swiss shooting is a good
example of co-operation between gov-

By treating rifle shooting as a sport,
and it is as popular as football is with

the Swiss have removed it from its usu-
