The German Emperor seems bent on breaking fresh ground in every direction, for we learn that. on going ashore at Heligoland the other day, he was wearing ollskins and “smoking a short pipe"—probably a French brier, unless, ine deed, it may have been an Irivh clay cutty. This is quite a new departure, like His Majesty’ assumption of a pince-nez when reading newspapers in the train, When he began his reign the Kaiser smoked nothing, but clgarettes—very long and big ones they were, S| o he gradually ascended to light Dutch cigars, almost of) necae oie costing a penny each. Now he has taken te/ & pipe such as may be seen between the teeth of yachtsmen at Cowes, His father, the Emperor Frederick, took his sco in a porcelain pipe of the student type. ‘erne old Briperot. on he other hand, true to the tradition of his youth, never smoked, or at least he never went beyond raising a Igarette to his lips at military messes and shooting parties asa cignal to the rest of the company that they, might now light up. MINIATURE HUNTING HOUNDS. It seems very funny and almost incredible that there coula@ tbe a dog sroall enough to creep into a glove, yet the variety. of hound known as the beadle, answers In history to this description. Early Roman accounts of England contain ref- erences to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 158) to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, in- cluding “the little beagle which may be carried in a man’s glove.” This miniature hound was extremely popular during the reigh of Queen Elizateth, who kept a pack, which were also said to be small enough to put ina glove. This state- ment 4s frequently ridiculed, but !t should be understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of 8 or ten inches high, the result after some years being weak pupples that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. AN AGITATOR’S BRAVE WIFE, The wife of T. W. Russell, the brilliant Trish agitator, was a woman of great courage, and much of her husband's suo~ cess 1s due to her encouragement. When the news of the election in South Tyrone reached Dublin a friend called on her and advised her to have a couple of policemen stationed in front of the temperance hotel of which she and her hus+ band were the owners, on the ground that the mob would probably come around and wreck the building. She refused to do any such thing; had every room !n the house illum{- nateé and the blinds pulled up. Then she sat in a window where she could be seen plainly from the street and waited for something to happen. But nothing did.
