Show HOHENLOHE'S PECULIARITIES. Tha New German Chancellor Always Cook Ilia Own Coffee. Prince Hohenlohe, the new chancellor chancel-lor of the German empire, is cast in a different physical mold from his two stalwart predecessors. He is far from being so impressive in appearance as Bismarck or Caprivi. Ho looks more liko the headmaster of a school in a middb sized town than like a statesman. Although Al-though of a more noble lineage than cither of tho ex-chancellors, he looks much less like the traditional aristocrat.

In the course of years ho has become an expert, and few cooks can equal his brew. His guests flatter him on his art, as a matter of course, and there is no better way to reach his heart than by eulogy of his coffee. Like many other men who have accomplished ac-complished considerable in this life and love praise and their hobbies, he would rather hear praise for his "drink which comf orteth the brain aud heart' 'to use the language of Bacon than for his political wisdom.
