Invested of his uniform. He is wise
in this, for his good looks are much en-

He rises early, takes a very light
breakfast and goes for little exercise,
after which he takes q second break
fast, this time of an omelette, ham
and eggs, a mutton chop or chicken.
He dimes at half-past one on bouillon
or broth, boiled meat with vegetables,
followed by roast meat and pudding,
and if there is company present an

When not in uniform he dresses in
English style, and marked predilec-
ton for English costumes and manners

demeanOr for sometime past, although
he is intensely Prussian in sentiment
His conversion to English ideas in
minor matters is striking, because for
a long time before his fathers death he
was intensely hostile even to the name
of England. There was period when
he seemed estranged from both father
and mother, not long before Emperor
Frederick's death, but the reconcile
ton was complete, so far Frederick
was concerned, before that noble and
generous spirit passed away.
The new advisers by whom he has
surrounded himself are not likely to
interfere with the Emporor's theory of
being his own Bismarck. General Won
Caprivi bears a striking resemblance
to the old Chancellor, but he has none
of the mental hardness of Prince Bis
marck; he may be expected to yield to
the imperial policy when it differs

the successor of the venerable Moltke
as Chief of General Staff and who
was long a favorite of the old Emperor,

talents, and his policy, which is ag-
gressive, is quite popular with Will

natural than the lives the Princes
lived. Whether in their school-rooms,
at their meals, or the manner in which
they were treated, there was but little
to distinguish them from the children
of any gentleman of good fortune. The
words Royal Highness" were never
used, but the "du," which naturally
belongs to the German scnoolboy, was
replaced by the more respectful "sie. .
The tutor used to shake hands uncere-
moniously with his royal pupil every
day, and Prince William would chat
about what he had been doing; that
Professor Helmholz had told him this,
or that Count Moltke had explained to
him that. He was very fond of fairy
stories.
The young Princes English rela-
tives took care to fill his mind with
eminently conservative notions. One
day he came to his teacher with this
rather startling question:
uncle - says that Oliver Crom-
well was horrid beast; what do you
Think" The tutor hardly knew what
to answer.
On the whole, his youth was serious,
earnest. and eminently industrious.
He rarely laughed, and always seemed

ness that he had a mighty mission to
fulfill. even as a boy" says one of
his biographers, at was he, and not his
father, who was pointed out as the fu-
ture hope OF Germany.
The evident seriousness with which
he regarded himself sometimes caused
smiles. Anecdotes in point were freely
circulated, as, for instance, that he
borrowed a penknife from one of his
attendants, and returned it with the
solemn remark: Keep this. 1t has
now become a historic relic" But this
absence of any sense of humor is now
shown to be only the diverse side of
splendid and princely characteristics.
Young Wilhelm's military career be-
| gan as soon as he returned from the
University, in the First Guard Regi-
ment of Infantry at Potsdam, the old
garrison town haunted by memories OF
Frederick the Great.
The First Guards is Prussia's crack
regiment, and in this the Prince re-
manned with the infantry until he rose
to be Major, when he was transferred
| to the Potsdam Hussars, a cavalry regi
ment, whose uniform he is very fond Of
wearing.
| Hunting and athletic sports have 6
large part in the young Emperor's life
This is not merely because the EN-
peror is fond of the mere sport o
knocking over small or large game
but because hunting expeditions Offer
an excellent pretext for assembling

peror, for several years before his az
cession 70 the throne, was accustomed
to make excursions into Lithuania, In
winter, and spending q week or two on
the estates of his intimate friends, the
Radziwills, In Russia.
On this great demesne of Nieswies
vast forests filed with wild game
stretch away for leagues, and afford
hunters all the perils and excitements
of the wilderness.
Since he has become Emperor, VIII
helm has continued his pleasant rela-
tons with the Radziwills, and now
and then gives them a grand hunting
party as a return for their hos
pitality.
In 1881 Prince Wilhelm was married,
at the age of %, to Princess Victoria
of Schleswig- HoIstein Augustenburg,
and their first-born son Is the fourth In
the series of -four kings" as the old
Kaiser remarked in the year following,
when photograph was taken at Pots
dam of himself, his son, grandson, and
the infant prince, borne in the old
mans arms, thus presenting in a group
the first four generations of the new
imperial German house.
The Princess, his wife, is not of royal
blood, and by her he has a family of
five boys, the eldest of whom has al
ready a military rank in the army, and
is generally attired in uniform and
boots, a veritable "Puss in Boots" to
whom the soldiers have to present

arms. Crown Prince Williams mar
ried life has not been entirely a happy
one. His wife is plain, but of charm
ing character. She was very strictly
brought up, not being allowed in her
girlhood to read a novel or see a play.
The match was made by his mother.
not by himself, and on reaching ma
ture years this fact helped to anger
him against both his mother and his
wife. He snubs her for her lackings
in royal blood and beauty and is rarely
seen in her company, she being jealous
of him and of her rank as the first
lady of the land. AS the second
Empress Victoria, her influence prom
ises to be felt.
For some time after her marriage
Prince Wilhelm resided in Potsdam,
where he was finally appointed a ma
jor general. The life of the young
couple was simple; and even to-day, at

The two often made excursions to-

When he was seven years old the
young Prince was placed under the
instruction of DR.. HinZpoter, for whom
he conceived a friendship which has
grown with his years, and which has
caused much jealousy of the tutor in
recent times.
Major General Won Stolberg was
the Princes military governor, and the
young mans marked prediction for
military studies received great i'm
petus from this able soldier.
After his confirmation In 1874, the
Prince was sent with his brother,
Prince Henry, who is now the Ad-
miRal, to the Gymnasium at Cassel,
where he passed his examinations in
1877. This was the first time that any
German prince had ever been sent to
a public school.
He continued his studies in the Uni
versity at Bonn, and there, as at Cas-
sci, he was treated exactly like the
pther students and formed the habit OF
dose application which has stood him
in such good stead since he came to the
throne.

Evils of Civilization.

Civilization abounds in artificial, alb
normal conditions, many of (which must
be more or less unfavorable to health.
To some extent, the same thing is true
of the lower animals and even of the
vegetables. The domesticated horse is
far more delicate than his wild pro-
genitor, and the wild potato probably
has no such tendency to rot as is
manifested by the cultivated progeny.
Modern civilization makes all the
nations neighbors-shares not only of
each others blessings, but of each
others vices and diseases. Yellow fe-
YER, dengue, cholera, typhus fever and
Ia grippe all reached us from abroad.
Meantime the progress of the United
States as a nation Is not without its
bad side. Young men abandon the
quiet and invigorating life of the farm
for the exciting and in some respects
demoralizing and enfeebling life of the
city. The young women leave the
normal and healthful work of the
home for the exhausting toll of the
workshop and the beggarly life of the
boarding house.
If manufactures give us cheaper
goods, they do so at large expendi-
ture of human health and life. At
the same time they crowd the great
centers with population hard to as
simulate and pervaded with its own
unhealthy and vicious tendencies.
Even our schools, of which we are
Justly so proud, greatly aid in propa-
eating the diseases of childhood, be-
sides producing a general tendency to
defective vision, and letting down of
the general health.
The increasingly minute division of
labor, so beneficial In some respects,
must have belittling effect upon the
laborer AS one said many years ago,
the manufacture of a pin by the divid-
ed labor of several different persons
gives us excellent pins, but poor me-
chanics, and worse yet, poor men and
women.
Among other ills of civilization are
overworked brains; various forms of
nervous exhaustion; the worries of do
nestle and social life; the ruinous
greed of wealth; the disastrous re-
suits of excessive business competition /;
the diseases and vices naturally attend
ant upon luxury; the crowding togeth-
er of the ignorant and depraved in
large cities.
Let every one do his best to guard
himself and help his brother against
the evils of humanity at its best estate.

Berlin. their home life is singularly

Berlin, their home life is singularly
free from luxury.
Prince Wilhelm learned the value
of simplicity from his father, and he is
teaching it to his officers, by laying
down certain cardinal rules about
plsin living, which they all find it
prudent to observe.
When he thinks any garrison town
is becoming too sleepy he makes it a
visit and has all the troops turned out
by an alarm at night-a proceeding
which sometimes causes much vexa-
ton and damage.
Emperor Wilhelm is fond of residing
in the "Schloss," the picturesque old
castle which, with its massive portals
and broad courts, looms up not far
from the bridge near which stands the
colossal equestrian bronze statue of
the Great Elector.
All the Prussian Kings and Emper-
ors, nine in number, have at times re-
sided in the Schloss, except Frederick
the Third and the mighty Fritz, who
liked Potsdam best.
The Emperor entertains well; he
loves his children, and brings them ur
strictly, and in all the traditions OF
the Hohenzollerns. He allows them
to take on no airs because of thei1
princely position.
The heir-apparent, Crown Prince
Frederick William, was born in May
of 1882. He is pretty boy, of prom
Using disposition, very fond of directing
mimic war operations with his little
brothers.
Kaiser Wilhelm has developed into
a handsome and imposing man.
He is in the full flush of strength
and has kept his youth very well. Ii
his 3Ist year he still has the fresh
ness and vigor of a boy, and the elias
ITCHY of his temperament Is dis

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage OF Presence OF Mind
in an Emergency.

During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad. the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case of a
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon ex-
cept IN case ofan emergency. The emer-
gency had not arisen, therefore they,
would not be ordered olt. He remarked
that this was the first great strike with
which he had had experience, and he
did not propose to lose his head; the
only point at which there had been Sc
rIous trouble was at Syracuse, and there
deputy sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action at various
points along the road, but the civil
authorities were able to cope with it
without calling on the militia.
The test OF mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
hasty call on his good Judgment and
discretion. The man who retains his
presence of mind, maintains his equi-
poise and exercises sound discretion at
such critical junctures, is to be relied
on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face
OF danger. Otis A. Cole, OF Kinsman,
o., June 10, 1890, writes: SIN the fall
of 1888 I was feeling very ill. con-
suited a doctor and he said I had
Bright's disease of the kidneys and
that he would not stand in my shoes
for the state of Ohio" But he did not
lose courage or give up; he says: 81

lar. [ took a good many bottles of
Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken any

Gov Hill is accounted very success
full man; he is cool and calculating and
belongs to the class that do not lose
their heads when emergencies arise.

failure of the wits of political life.
