Ri ph Lin¢u,in the Deutsche Reque, teiix sme stories about Prince Biswarck that have not been told in detail before. In Mus, 1866, Biemarck, thea only Count Bisnw ck, was passing through Unter den Licd » when he heard behind bim the re~ port of a revolver. He turoed quickly arouné aud saw a young man— Vedinaod Blind it was—aiming at

him withthe still smoking pistol. Bis- merck ran toward the wan and seized tne

handin which he held the _ revolver, avd « th his other hand grasped the aseu-* ’a throat. The latter, however, had time « slip his pistol into the other hand,

and shot three times in quick succession. Bien...ck felt himself wounded in the shovider and injured in one of his ribs, but be held his assailant fast, until several suliiers ran ap and secured him. Then Bismarck walked quickly to his house, which be reached long before any report of the etia r got there.

The Countess, it appeared, had several calle:s when ber busband camein. He greeied vhem all pleasantiy, and asked to be excused for a few minutes or ac- count of a pressing engagement. There upon he retired to the next room and rapidly wrote out en a:count of the attempt on bis fife, which be sent to the king. ‘Lben, returning to the drawing room, he joked in his usual way about his uppunctuality at luncheon, and ate with a good appetite. When the meal was finished he went to the Countess, kiesed her, wisbed her “mahizeit” in the old German way, and added: “You see that Tam quite well, don’t you?

She stared at him, whereupon he adds ed:

“ Yo», you muain’t be anxious, my child Sow+tody has shot at me; but it is nothing as you see.”

[In the year 1851, when political dis |

cussion was exceedingly acrimonious, Bisu.arck one day entered a restaurant in Berliv for a glass of beer. A man who #at pear him, surrounded by several friends begs: (o abuse a member of the’ Royal fami'v. Bismarck lookcd at him and said qu etly:

“It you don’t leave this room before I have drank this glaes of beer I wil] break the gla-s over your head.”

Then be quietly finished his beer, and a the man had not heeded Lis warning he carr ed out histhreat. He went up to the fellow «od struck him on the head with the beer glaes till he tell howling on the flo r

“What does the glase cost?” he asked the waner; and having paid for it he walked calmly out no one daring to make the least resistance.

THERMOMETER TALES.

The Temperature Taker and What the Patients Thought of It.

To people who aro fortunately unfa- MMiliar with sickness the thermometers used in taking the temperature of pa- tients are always a source of considera- ble interest. A professional nurse whose experience has led her to numerous lo- calities and brought her in contact with many phases of life tells two stories which illustrate the foregoing state- ment.

tn one of the local hospitals she had a male patient who was threatened with a run of fever. As she approached his bedside one morning he querulously complained of a lack of nourishment.

‘*T didn’t get enough to eat,’’ he said. ‘*T feel almost starved. ’’

‘*Well, well,’’ she said soothingly, ‘we will see about that. ‘‘Here,’’ she added, ‘‘let me put this in your mouth.”’

She inserted the thermometer between his teeth and turned away a moment. When she looked back, he was working the bulb around between his jaws at a great rate.

‘*Hold on!’’ she cried, break the thermometer !’’

He drew in his cheeks and apparent- ly gave a mighty pull on the little in- strument, and then she removed it.

‘*Say,’’ he grumbled, ‘‘there’s no use giving me that. I couldn’t suck a blame thing out of it.’’

Another patient, a woman, begged of the nurse for a drink.

‘*Wait,’’ said the nurse and thrust the thermometer in her mouth,

The patient lay back on her pillow and placidly closed her eyes. A satis- fied expression slowly stole over her face. When the time was up, the nurse withdrew the tube.

‘‘Why,’’ said the patient, with a sigh of gratification, ‘‘what a lot of good a little thing like that will do you. ’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
