THE kAlSER'S BROTHER.
How Military Discipline Got the Best of
Princely Dirt.

ptrts
Apropos of the meeting between the
Queen and tho Empress Frederick at
Darmstadt, ! am reminded of the follow
ing story, which is characteristic OF her
Majesty's eldest daughters notions and
practice of discipline: Prince Henry,
the brother of the present Emperor, had,
when small boy, the greatest objection
to his daily bath, and the nursery be-
came every morning the scene of Wig
orous and fearful struggle on
his part against Tubing. His
mother tried in vain to per-
suade him that baths were inevitable
and that he must submit to them, but
she finally gave the nurse orders one
morning to let him have his own way.
Prince Henry, confident that he had
gained remarkable victory, was exult-
ant, and when he set out for his morn
ing walk took no pains to conceal his
triumph. He INDUCED in sundry taunt-
ing remarks to his attendants; but on
returning home he was surprised to no.
tice that the sentinel at the gate did
not present arms as he passed. On
reaching the palace he found second
sentinel equally remiss, and knowing as
we'll as any of his punctilious race what
was due to his rank, the little fellow
walked up to the man and asked severe
ly: do you know who l amp" Eyes,

motionless. ''Who am ~" prince
Heinrich. "Why don't you salute,
then?" Because we do not present
arms to an unwashed Prince" replied
the sentinel, who had received his or
ders from the Princes mother The lit
tie fellow said not word, but walked
on, bravely winking back the two big
tears which filled his eyes. Next morn
Ing, however, he took his bath with per-
feet docility, and was never known to
complain of 1t again.-London Figaro.

A COMMUNAL QUARREL.
Two English Birds That Acted In
Singulariy Human Way.

Two English Birds That Acted In o
SinguIariy Human Way.
In the yard of Scranton bird student
q pair of English sparrows began few
weeks ago to get ready to go to house,
keeping. They took up their abode in
little box that was fastened to the top
of pole. Other sparrows undertook to
occupy the box, but the pugnacious first
corners soon drove them away, and from
that time on the plucky pair fixed up
their household and got every thing in
readiness to raise family without be-
ing disturbed by their apparently envi-
GUS neighbors.
When the Industrious birds were near
ly ready to settle down to quiet mar
ried life, an accident happened that
caused a row between the pair. One day
before the female had begun to sit, her
husband fitted away and was gone
good deal longer than usual. During
his absence the female busted herself
by flying from the nest to the yard and
back, adding finishing touches to her
household and sprucing things up inside
of the box. By and by Mr.. Sparrow re-

natty as he did when he sailed away.
In some way he had lost all of his tail
feathers while he was gone, and his wife
wouldn't have any thing to do with him
or let him enter the house. He seemed
to try to explain matters to her, but she
wouldn't listen to him at all, chirped al
him spitefully, and fought him when
ever he attempted to approach her.
The student knew that the bobtailed
bird was the rightful husband by pecu
liar mark on his head, and he watched
the result of the family trouble with
deep interest. For two days the un
happy husband coaxed and begged his
wife to treat him as she had formerly
done, but his pleadings made her all the
more determined to get rid of him fol
good All at once the bobtailed spar
row disappeared, and has never beer
seen around there since. The female
continued to occupy the box, and inside
of three days she got another husband
set up housekeeping anew, and in due
time Matched out nest full of little
ones.-N. Y. Sun.

Bismarck on Nihilism.

In an interview with the correspond.
emit of the London Daily Telegraph,
Prince Bismarck declared that no con-
cession to the Nihilists was possible.
Overedueation had led to much dissatis-
faction and disappointment in Germany,
but in Russia it had led to disaffection
and conspiracy. There were ten times
as many people educated for the higher
walks as there were places to fill. Fur
ther education was making pedantic
theorists and Missionaries, unfit for con-
stitutionaA government. Referring to
the labor question, the Prince ridiculed
the idea that workmen would ever be
contented, because, he said, the rich
are never contented. He spoke strong
ly against any dictation as to the hours
OF labor and against the usurping of the
rightful authority of parents over their
children. lie said that Chancellor Won
Caprivi was perfect gentleman. He
praised Emperor William and said he
was hopeful for the future.
