Ot the causes which keep the trees and flowers awake nights the botanist says that, in ths first place, there is tbe matter of noise In all Us form! and .the vibration which goes with the constant activity ot city life.

It often happened that be wished to show an apparent faith In a guest He would orer the guard to retire, and the guard, after that one step, would remain, the Sultan meanwhile going on with the conversation under the seeming impression that the man had really gone. The man understood that only the third command was to be taken literally. When thebltan had finished this confidence, he Invited the professor to sit opposite him at he little table, and have some tea. Now the Sultan does not take sugar, and he forgot to offer any to his guest The bowl was at the Sultans elbow, and the professor was not used to asking monarch to watt upon him. Still, he hardly wished to drink the tea as it was, and he leaned over the table to reach for the sugar. In a flash the Sultan was on his feet, his hand at his pocket, his face pallid. The gesture of the harmless old B&vant looked to him like assassination.

A regular medieval noble is the Baron von Steitencron. Feudalism when It prevailed In its greatest degree in the country which the kaiser now rules never had a more devoted adherent than this German baron, and the peasantry never hsd a more exacting overlord nor one who held more lightly their right to the enjoyment e f life and liberty. In the barons domain the feudal Idea aa It was developed in medhval Europe is still cherished, and crimes. It would seem, are committed by the baron with an impunity characteristic of a former age.

Only to military tribunals will the baron submit himself, and there appears to be a singular unwillingness among military authorities to bring him to terms. A correspondent of the Mllwsukee Sentinel recently paid a visit to the part of Germany where this strange character' holds sway to investigate some of the stort& regarding his crimes and idlosyncracles. Most of them he found were thoroughly borne out by the fact. It was Just after the baron had executed his second victim. As in the first case, it was, so this visitor says, nothing less than murder on the part of this subjLct of the kaiser, and murder It would have been adjudged in most countries calling themselves civilized. But to the baron his act was simply removing from thts arth, almost without warning, a peasant who had been found trespassing on his domains. As In all other cases, the baron went unpunished for his crime. The estate on which this curious j .condition of affairs obtains covers 500 acres. In this ema 1 domain Baron von Steitencron maintains an establish-- , naent patterned as nearly as possible after those kept by hla ancestors when feudalism flour shed.
