In Berlin, as n tourist turns into the fleiligcngelat. not far from the kai ser'« palace, be will see, fixed in a nicha in the scrcud story o f the house No. 38, a bust carved in stone. This is called the “ Neidkopf.” It represents a hideous, harpy faced woman, with snakelike curls o f hair and tongue sticking out in mocking derision. This is the story o f its origin and purpose: One day almost 200 years ago Fred- eri< k William o f Prussia, “ Old Fritz,” was walking about the streets o f his city In the shabby, free and easy way he loved, lookiug about for some griev- am e to redress or some load to lighten, which was an agreeable habit o f this plnin living king. Looking In at a win dow, he was struck by the Intent in dustry' o f a humpbacked goldsmith, and so the king entered the little shop for a chat. The result o f this inter view was an order for a gold table serv ice for the royal household, which made the fortune o f the hunchback. Iaiter the king made other visits to see ho wthe work was progressing and on one o f these occasions noticed a woman in the window o f the opposite house, making the most hideous grim aces and pointing a derisive finger at '.he little cripple. “ What is the matter with the shrew over there?” nsketl Frederick William. “ It Is envy, your majesty,” exclaimed the goldsmith. “ She is the wife o f a rival goldsmith, ami ever since your majesty gave me this order she and her daughter have not ceased to mock and deride me. Frederick William, paternal in pun ishment as well as in reward, at once made Inquiries as to the ownership of tho house wherein this shrew lived. He found that It belonged to her hus band, and therefore reasoned that there was little likelihood of the fam ily moving. This seemed to please him. lie next enlisted the services of a sculptor and ordered him to make the bust o f a woman with the most shrewish, Xantippe like face he could imagine. The king then bought and renovated the house in which the hunchback had ids workshop, present ed it to him and caused the bust to be placed conspicuously above the workroom window. Thus whenever the envious woman across the street looked forth front her casement the first thing on which her eyes fell was this Intended portrait o f her amiable self. For more than 100 years the “ Neid köpf,” “ spiteful vixen head.” as one would say In English, stood in proud prominence, a reproach to the envious Frau Goldschmied and her descend ants. It afterward mysteriusly dis- nppeared, hut In 1ST) or thereabouts It was fonnd again In n forgotten col lection o f brio a brae. Frederick Wil liam IV. bought the bust for a very large price and had It replaced In Its original niche, where it stands today. —New York Press. Baptist Preaching every.
