Berlin, Oct. 15.-Armed with a
few lines from the American en-
bassy in Berlin, I found, after
proper application in writing, no difficulty
in penetrating into the inner chambers
where the imperial Hohenzollerns,, both
young and old, have their being while in
this city. Differing in that respect from
their papa, who, by reason of his pro-
nounced liking for travel, has popularity
acquired the nickname der REESE
KAISER the six sons of the emperor stay
at home nearly all the time, both winter
and summer, and their mode of living is
an extremely methodical one What 1
have seen and learnt more particularly
about the young princess, I'll tell here in
the same aphoristic way in which it came
to my knowledge. Some of it, at least
will prove of interest to American read
ers, inasmuch as it shows how the king
business has to be studied diligently and
particularly from childhood mp, in order
to be at all successfully conducted in this
age of fierce competition, and also be-
cause from it may be seen once more how
the Hohenzollerns have attained to their
present prc-eminence among the poten-
tates Of this earthly putting duty al
ways foremost and doing everything with
set purpose.

pile facing Inter den Linden, had prac2

for several generations, when the present
emperor assembled the throne. But VII

Without speaking of those high cere-
monial apartments and vast halls which
are pretty well known to tourists and the
general public, I'll mention some of those
rooms where the foot Of the sightseer and
