that all the kings of Prussia have, to-
gether with their duties as regents, always
paid chief attention to. the army. The
great elector gave a mighty example to
his hosts by his own personal courage.
Frederick knew very we'll when he placed
the crown npon his head that he would be
compelled to defend his step. He knew
well, however, that his troops, tried in
battle, would enable him to do so. Fred
erick William l., in the garrison which
you now enter and which has been well
called the cradle of the Prussian army,
laid the firm foundation to its orgsniza-
ton by the strict discipline which he in
troduced, without which no army can
exist, and this spirit still lives. Frederick
the Great, possessed of natural talent as
commander, took this frmly-built organ
ization as the basis of the army with
which he made war and fought battles that
made him immortal. In the last year it
was the Prussian army, with its invincible
courage, its steadfsst endurance, that en-
abled Prussia to attain the great position
she now occupies. Your youth fell in
those days. You have in your father
noble example in the guidance of wars
and of battles. In the service in which
you are about to enter, however, you may
come across matters that may seem ill.,
significant to you; but you will learn that
in the service nothing is small, and that
every stone belonging to the structure of
an army must be properly formed if the
completed edifice is to be firm and last
Jag; therefore, 1 bid you go and do your
duty"
He served faithfully enough, and was, at
the time he became crown prince, colonel
commander of the Hussars of the Guard.
He has been as wild as any HohenzoIlern,
though not more vicious than his associ-
ates, who did not have the temptation With
which, because of his position, he was
surrounded. His wife is thoroughly Ger
man, and has never done anything to at
tract attention to herself, except in ap-
pearing periodically at court ceremonials.
By authority Of William 1. he assumed

RELIGIOUS GLEANINGS.

The Methodist Episcopal general confer
ence of 1892 will be held in Omaha.
There are said to be several churches in Il
linois without single male member.
The Reformed Episcopal church numbers
30 churches, 100 ministers and $4,000 COM
municants.
The New Jerusalem church of the United
States at meeting recently held in Boston
voted to form national organization.
The Irish Catholic archbishops and bishops
have issued an address declaring that the
pope's decree affects morals only and does
not interfere with politics.
The Presbyterian church gave $500, 900 for
home missions last year, yet deducting the
amount from this which represents legacies
and it only represents gift of 50 cents per
member.
President G., H. Payne, of Ohio Wesleyan
university, having been elected secretary of
the newly created board of education of the
Methodist church, will be compelled to re-
sign his office.
The first American Sabbath school of which
we have any definite knowledge was started
in Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa, about
1879, by Ludwig Hacker, a teacher in the
common schools. 1t was carried on by him
for about forty years and was attended with
some remarkable results. This antedates
Robert Raikes Q7SI and David Blair 176U.
A new church is organized every two days
by the Presbyterian church. Every three
days Presbyterian minister dies. The de-
nomination imports from other Christian
bodies sixty ministers per year to fill vacan-
cies. The secretaries % the Home Mission
board are not burdened to find places for
ministers applying for service; they are
burdened rather to find ministers to fill
parishes now vacant and enter missionary
fields already open.
Bishop Andrews, of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, whose episcopal residence hitherto
has been in Washington, D. c., now goes to
New York. Bishop Foss leaves Minneapolis
for Philadelphia; Bishop Hurst, Buffalo for
Washington, while of the newly elected
bishops, Bishop Vincent goes to Buffalo,
where he will be near Chautauqua; Bishop
Fitzgerald to Minneapolis, Bishop Joyce to
Chattanooga, Bishop Newman to Omaha, and
Bishop Goodsell to Texas

THE NEW EMPEROR.
Sketch of the Young Man Now on
the German Throne.

The young emperor was born in January,
1859, and is, therefore, 30 years old. He
was married February 27,1SS1, to Augusta
Victoria, daughter of the late Duke Won
Schleswig Holstein. Four children have
been born to them, the eldest being Will
lam, born May 6,lSS2. This young emperor
succeeds to throne at an earlier age
than any of his family. His grandfather,
William l, of Germany, was 63 years old
when, on the death of his father, he was
crowned king of Prussia. Emperor
Frederick III was 81 at the time of his
succession. The present emperor was his
grandfather's favorite, and he has always
been more in harmony with the policy of
Chancellor Bismarck than his father. He
is at heart soldier, and is so thoroughly
German, that ne is said to detest his own
mother because she is English. At the
funeral of his grandfather he refused to
walk with her. His hatred of the Russians
is even more violent than his dislike for
the English, and it is expected that his
rule will not be without accompaniment
of wer. He refuses to drink champagne
because it is a French wine. His init
mates have been the Crown Prince of Aus
tria, very dissolute young man, and
Count Herbert Bismarck. He was care
fully educated, receiving his early educs-
ton under private tuition. He was we'll
grounded in classics, languages and math-
ematics, and was then sent to the Gym
nasium at Cassel, where he was prepared
for the University at Bonn. He worked
hard and was allowed few privileges,
He showed a special fondness for mil
itary history and things military.

temporarily the duties of his father,
pending the completion OF the journey
from San Reno TO Berlin. 1t hns been
sad by correspondents at the German
capital that his father and he we're not as
friendly as they might be; that the late
emperor resented his sons treatment of
the Empress Victoria. but none of these
statements have been from reliable
sources. In accordance with the custom
of the Hohenzollerns the crown prince
learned the glover's trade. His father was
a jeweler. His brother, Prince Henry, is
matchmaker. His sisters can cook, and
are all adopts in dressmaking.

a Plea for the Dolls.

The good women who are so busy reform
.ng the world have taken up the doll enor-
nifty now, and are to make public sentiment
too warm for it. "Hamlet" with the Prince
left out would be spirited and entertaining
compared with little girls universe that
was doll-less. There is queer little element
of sacredness in the relation between the in
animate pet and the live one that we saw
amusingly and touchingly illustrated the
other day. A small girl was holding her
largest and most beloved doll well outside
the window, and her mother protested, say
ing: "You will drop your big dollie; why do
you hold it out there so longl' ~ was show
ing it to Cod" said the baby, and the mother
did not find, for the time, anything more to
say. 1t might be as well to do away with a
few other abuses, good women, before DOOM
ing the doll-Boston Commonwealth.

1t is said of him while at Bonn that he was
more fond of the soldiers black bread
than of the white bread given him. He
was superior to most of his fellows in
swimming and several other branches of
athletics. He was much indnlged by the
students of the University who consented
to produce plays written by him. One of
these plays, which was not thoroughly
worthless, was "Charlemagne," being
founded on historical incident. He was
placed in the first regiment of the Guard
as first lieutenant after he had obtained his
degree at Bonn in 1877. On the occasion
