The life OF the princess royal in her
homes at Potsdam aud Berlin has been one
of great simplicity. The Prussian court is
like to no other in the primitive orderliness
Of its arrangements. Gala dinners take

and the last dance ut state balls is ended
not long after midnight These early hours
which suit the convenience of princes hav-
ing military duties, have enabled the crown
princess to sit by her children daily while
they took their morning lessons, to learn
what they learned, and thus master sub
jeCts beyond the ken Of most ladies. For
her own amusement she paints, and paints
well, listens TO music, keeps herself &C
Quainted With what goes on Ia England by
reading English books and newspapers,
and is not afraid to dip into revolutionary
literature and try to find out what
the socialists Of Germany definitely
want. A COurtler once expressed his sur
prise a. hearing that her royal hlghness
had been reading some speeches by Haseu-
Cayer and Bebel, the socialist deputies.
"Oh ' she said, with bright laugh, Il

another occasion, she observed, more seri.

princess tolerance has in truth bred in her
vigorous antipathy to Intolerance in
others, which she displayed in marked
way when the court pastor, Ad0lphus
Stocker, commenced ,ha anti.semiuc Rcita-

The crown prince was much Dispensed and
took an early opportunity of reproving the
pastor while the princess, contrary to all
court precedent, invited some leading mem
