The audience had just assembled at the Royal Opera House when Count von Hulscn-Rase-ler anpeared in the Rojjal box and, rapping for silence with his gold-stick of office, said: "His Majesty has deigned to command me to inform the public that his Royal Highjiess Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia has iust become the father of a son."

The outburst of cheers which greeted the announcement was mingled with the roar of guns which at the same moment.were firing a salute in honor of the youngest Hohenzollern. Presently the Kaißer himself appeared in the Royal box with his family, Prince and Princess Eitel Friedrich, Princess Victoria Louise, Prince Adalbert ans- - Oscar, and the cheering broke: out afresh. His Majesty was obviously pleased at the ovation.

NEW USE FOR SNAKE VENOM, It is frequently asserted that there is a use for everything in nature, if people knew just how to use it.
