The Kaiser's Condition.

A cable lo th« New "York World tioui Berlin Bays : The Kaiser's recent speeches show, him to be Buffering one o: hia periodic attacks of oerebral eicitt rnciit, Strong icfluencea have toen ;»rou|a;ht to bear to indues him'to go on a yachting trip to Norway until the fSccts blow over. Wisht'loa looks thin and worn. He 34 extremely wb'leas, brooding p^rpffp fclly and startling hia entourage by breaking out into wild tirades agai;.at hi* enemies. It is reUted t'-*t recently the Kaiser directed i!he captain of the fcuard to kneel before him, holding up the hilt of his gwo.d fes tbe symbol of the cross, and swear tbat be would slay bis own brother to rLfemi the h'mperor. Tijri KaistVa excitom-'i'it is ir.cJ to tae feeling aroused by the ha* oh v.riti eismrof hia friendliness for Kffriaud. Tbe Russian disturbances prompted him to'tflnd oven more exalted dis« patches so the Crvr than to tho Sultan, but the Czw suppressed them. Tha Kaiser haa jasfc presented fcUined-glasa windows to the blind asylum Ore represents the K*iser«B a mediaeval knight, with a helmet on his hoad and a naked sword in one hand* s. model asylum in the other. Tha other window represents the KaUerin as St Elizabeth, with miracu lous roses in her hand. Th« entire German press is sfcil! greatly exulted over ha Kmperoi's re cant utterances on the occasion of bis toast*. The Cologne Volke Zeifeung sty a Emperor Wilium's words to the Umperar Alexander Grenadier Regi ment upon tbe occasion of their instal lation in their new barracks near th» Fmpsror's palace, when he called them his lifeguards, etc, have been received j everywhere with dismay and amaz°- j meat, but sadder still ia tbe fact that | tbe rt'niperor had the regiment'e bar- : racks built in close proximity to the j castle, which shows that the Emperor mean? what he said upon that oeca iiea Tha paper then dissects the Em peror's) to*Bt concerning Rassun-Ger man relations, audi rays it is evident thafc somebody is systematically trying to einbreil these hitherto friendly nations, and that from the Emperor's hint! this can only be Great l ritain or Japan. Tne paper concludes: " Where on earth are our new English friends V ■ The fact of the mutter is thafc the Emperor's utterances have been ex pressed in all ways to suit everybody's teste 

Scotch Temperance.

A ■pecial correspondent of the Lon don Daily Mail who visited Glasgow to describe the preliminaries of the Exhib ition, seems to have been deeply impressed by gome phases of tbe Western character. Devotion to temperance, he remarks, impresses tbe visitor more forcibly than any other feature of Glasgow life—except, per haps its capacity for whisky. Every bailie, every magistrate is a temperance advooate. and need be to preserve the ©sreerts of his fellow citizsn*. For every citizen is a convinced and sincere upholder of the temperance causf. No matter how many whiskies he may t^ke in the course of tbe day, he never loses faitb in his principles. The f*ct aeenss.to be that in Glasgow to drink whisky is not to indulge in strong drink. Th© Scotch are a hardy, health),'and vigorous racp, »nd to tb^m the national drink is not » Tquor; it is mprely a liquid. They take it just as they brat he the bracing air, „« orso of the ordinary conditions of existence. There h a story of a Glas gow bailie—a serious mm, and a staunch temperance advocate—who, after a stirring and strenuous address on the evils of drink, was ask ad if hn would take a'hauf-yun.' 'Haufyuni' be exclaimed indignantly; 'Man, I'll no palter wi ray principles like that ; I'll have a faH glass or nooe at all.'

THE FIRST CANARD

Here ia an explanation of the origin of the phrase " newspaper canard, * Aboat fifty yeare ago a French jour nalist contributed to the press an ex periment of which he declared himself. to bftve been the author. Twenty dusks were placed together, and one of them, having been cut up into small pieoei, was gluttonously gobbled up by the*other nineteen. Another bird waa then sacrificed for tbe remainder and so on, until one duck was left, who thua contained in hia inside the other nineteen i The story * took, ' and was copied into all the journals of Europe. It has now long since been forgotten, but the " canard " has re mained m a title.
