She enjoys keeping house In the simple villa where none of the ceremonies of tha court are observed. She dusts the rooms la the morning, assist the cook in the kitchen, making the Kaisers favorite dishes with her own royal hands, and iu the little yard to the roar of her bouse she feeds tha chickens and supervises the milking of the cows, la the afternoon aha visits the wives of her husbands workmen, devoting especial attention to the sick and aged. Here at Cadlnen the Empress la Lady Bountiful and she has often declared that aha would enjoy Ufa more if her husband could abandon hla more onerous oceupaUun aa ruling monarch In order to devote himself exclusively to his business Interests. The Kaiser has made use of his works at Cadlnen to bring the Crown Prince and his other suns Into close touch with the- realities at Industrial life of which they could learn nothing in their ordinary career at court. At Cadlnen the Crown Prince haa also teamed the lessons of a practical maa of business, which will be useful to him when his turn oomes to rule over Germany. Boon after tha Kaiser had organised the works at Cadlnen he began to turn hla attention to the distribution as well aa to the production of Me wares. Accordingly he established a shop la tha Lelpsiger atrasse, tha busiest street In Berlin, where the wares manufactured t hla works at Cadlnen are sold. Thus the Kaiser became a shopkeeper, and, moreover, he trades under Ms own family name of Hohen-xollerTbe Kaiser threw himself Into the work of organising hla shop with tha same youthful enthusiasm which characterises all Ms activity. The Hohenxullera stoic fills a whole house of four stories and la a great success. The Kaiser has not .yet brought himself to the point of serving behind the counter, but ha has been extremely energetic In pushing tha interests of hla shop ss commercial traveler. Borne limes at court festivals, when he espies a wealthy man, ha approaches him and aolldtu orders for the Hohenxollern store. When the orders are given, the Kaiser extracts a gold pencil from hla pocket and after tha manner of commercial travelers jots down tha particulars on bis now white cuffs. When he goes yachting along the coast of Scandinavia In the summer the Kaiser never forgets his shop and canvasses for orders with the same commercial real. Even when he vlsHa foreign courts he frequently seises the opportunity to solicit orders from Ms fellow royalties, who are vastly amused by his bsslness enterprise. The Kaiser experiences unbounded delight over hla success in tMs capacity and he that he could earn a very ante uld-ag- trial establishments - model to be Im- benevolent employers by throughout the country.

He has brought about this state of affairs at Cadlnen, but then he admits himself that ho .undertook the task with everything In. his favor, whereas business enterprises founded solely to make the biggest profile possible must necessarily pursue other methods Nevertheless the Kaiser has frequently expressed (he hops that German employers of labor will reoognlse that In the Imitation at his own methods of management at Csdiaen lies tha most effective means of checking tha alarming growth jtf ftoolallsm: When the Kaiser la In residence at Cadlnen, which takes place during about eight weeks of each year, he appears at the works at o'clock lu the morning and greets hla men with Good morning, workmen." n cheery: The men respond in chorus with: "Good morning, your majesty."

This fact was rather strikingly demonstrated to the party of American capitalists during their visit to Cadlnen, autograph letters of Instruction from the Emperor to various heads of departments being shown them to Illustrate His Majesty's personal supervision over the many branches of his business. .To facilitate his control over affaire for the Kaiser erected a residence himself alongside of the works at Cadlnen.

But he who sticks to the surface can set only those forces that determine the Immediate course of progress, end these are not the conditions under which production la carried on, but the chugs of ideas among men. As the capitalist system of production stepped upon the scene It created among the persons who depended upon It capitalists, proletarians, etc. new wants wholly different from those of the people connected with the previous feudal system of production. To these different wants corresponded also different perceptions of right and wrong, of necessity ud luxury, of usefulness nnd harmfulness. In proportion the . capitalist system of production grew, and the classes that shared it became more marked, the perception! which corresponded to rrr d v, t . stantlal Income In the shape of commissions obtained for the Hohensol-ter- n store If he were U employe Instead of its proprietor.

The average annual profits during the laaC three years amounted to $41000; that la a fraction more than f per cent on th Invested capital. Considering that the profit ere decreased by tbe humanitarian institutions at Cadlnen, thia result must be regarded aa an achievement of remarkable success. Altogether the Kaaler employs more than 2.000 employes in the various departments of hla two businesses.

The adversaries of Socialism have not yet got beyond the point of looking upon society from the standpoint occupied by nodal science of a hundred years ago. The only aodallsts they know and can understand are, accordingly. those early and utopian s laHsts, who started from the same premises a they themselves.

Causes of Social Development Do Not Reet .ln the Ideae of Men. The philosophers who first endeavored to Investigate the causes of social development thought they found them ln the Ideas at men. - To a certain degree they recognised that theae ldeaa sprang from material wants; bnt the fact still remained u secret to them that these wanta changed from age to age, and that theae changes were the result of changes in the economic conditions, 1. e., in the system of production. They started with the belief that the wanta of man "human nature were unchangeable. Hence they could see but one true," natural, Just social system, because only one could correspond with the "true nature of man." All other social forms were pronounced by them the reault of mental aberration, which could have been possible only because mankind did not realise sooner what they wanted, because their Judgment was befogged. Either, ae some Imagined, cm account of the natural stupidity of man, or, as others, maintenance on account of the wilful machinations at priests end kings. Looked upon from suck e standpoint, the development of society was the result of a development of thought The more clever men ere, the quicker they estl-mat- which they found extent, hod sprung from the brain of tha philosophers of the previous century. Arriving on the stage a full century later. It waa clear to theae socialists that tha capitalist jsoclnl system wa by no means expectr ed. Accordingly this system waa still not the true dtae.
