KAISER'S SONS CONFIRMED.
An Impressive Occasion I'm the Fam
lily of Germany's En-
pcrOr.

AT the kaiser's express wish the con-
firmation of his two eldest sons took
place on a recent Sunday at the Fried
cnskirche, in Potsdam, the scene of
the kaiser's own einsegnung, special
trains conveying the imperial family
and its guests (about 20 in number)
from Berlin to Potsdam. The empress
had. with her usual thoughtfulness,
invited her sons masters to be present
at the confirmation, and the princes
themselves had been allowed to bring
seven cadets, the companions of their
studies and games, with them for this
event. The Friedenskirche, adjoining
which is the mausoleum where Kaiser
Friedrich lies at rest, had been beauti-
fully decorated with shrubs and flow
crs for the important service, which
was a choral one. The young princes
wore officers uniform of the First
foot guards, With the orange ribbon
of the order of the Black Eagle, and, as
is the custom at the confirmation of
the royal family, each read in clear
voice q confession of faith composed
by himself. After this service a con-
gratulatory reception was held at the
stadtschloss in Potsdam, which was
followed by breakfast there. In ac-
cordance with another German Gus
tom, the princes were the recipients
of numerous presents in honor of their
confirmation, and several high decora-
tions were conferred on the crown
prince.

KEEPING STEP WITH THE MUSIC
Men Who Never Get Their Left Foot
Hooked to the Heavy Tap
of the Drum.

II is curious fact, says Il veteran,
that some men never learn to keep
step perfectly. There are some men,
old soldiers perhaps. who can't help
falling into step when they hear mar
tial music-the left foot down at the
heavy tap of the drum. The very great
majority Of men can learn to keep
step, but there are men who can't keep
step, or, as likely as not, march with
the right foot down at the heavy tap.
Somehow their left foot never gets
hooked On TO that heavy tap as it
should. Every old soldier will recol-
lect such men--anybody can see such
men ct military parade, and this not
Us n result of confusion due to two
bands of music, one ahead and the
other at the rear, but lack of the exact
time keeping instinct.
The commanding officer of a COM
ra1y may be seen marching within
clear sound of his own music, with his
right foot down at the heavy tap. while
the company will be all right. l have
seen a commander of a grand army
post marching in time with the music,
but with his right foot down at the
heavy tap. and, as likely as not, he was
a man who served from one end of the
war TO the other.
The simple fact appears to be that
there are some men, as / said, who
never get their left foot fully and un-
failingly hooked on to the heavy tap of
the drum

RoosexeIt In a "Round-Up."

Roosevelt had two ranches in the
Bad Lands, where he came every year.
when his affairs in the field of business
and politics would permit. He came:
as he told his men, to be one of them.
He was treated on the ranch as any
other ranch hand. One of his first eX-
periences on the ranches was on a
roundup as a cowboy. He Jared there
lust as the other men Jared who were
drawing $35 month. He had his
string of horses with the roundup
and performed the same duties as did
the cowboys. II the morning he was
called with the other men-as usual
thing at three o'clock-made his way
to the rope corral in which the large
band of horses were driven, roped the
animal which he desired to ride for
the day, saddled it, and after hasty
breakfast started on a long mornings
ride. Nor was he favored in the matter
Of horses. He took the same kind of
lrimals as did the rest of the men-the
majority of them half broken bron-
chos, more inclined to bucking than to
passive servitude. Not infrequently he
was tumbled over the head of vicious
mustang. whose bucking abilities over
matched Roosevelt's riding by several
iegrees. But the discouragements of
cow punching we're not permanent,
and he was no sooner thrown off than
he was on again, ready for another

"TEDDY'S TERRORS.n
The Cow Puncher Is Said to Have
Vindicated Himself in
the West,

The COW puncher has his big raw
hide boot square down on one OF the
big Illuminated pages of history, says
the Denver Republican. He has put his
foot in it, to his undying glory and tc
the utter eradication of all the slight
ing things that have been said about
the unruly herder of stampeded steers
on wild western plains.
Col. Roosevelt never tires of laud-
ing his regiment of rough riders, the
basis of which, he says, is the COW
puncher. There are eX-policemen
Harvard men, country doctors, dudes
and heirs to millions in his regiment
but the framework of the organiza
tion that has won fame in Cuba is the
cowboy, bronzed, daredevil, loud anc
unveneered.
They scrapped by nature" says
Roosevelt, and apologies for the Ian
guage, while sticking to the assertion
They were not ambushed. They knew
where the Spaniards were and hit
them because they wanted to. They
had not had any excitement. Life

The rough riders will go into history
along with other immortal fighters

to the White company of Conan

HER CHANCES GROWING LESS.
Statlstics Show That WOman's
Chances of Marriage in Great
Britain Are Falling Oh.

1t must be Dispute ting 10 those who
consider marriage to be every wom-
ans birthright to see how steadily
but surely her chances of realizing her
destiny are diminishing.
The census of 1871 disclosed the fact
that the women in Great Britain out
numbered the males by no fewer than
500, 1875. In 1881 this deplorable dis
parity in numbers had grown to 95S..
633; and at the last census, in 1891
the surplus males (not that, under
any conditions, women could be con
sidered redundant) numbered 1,112,-
512
Think of this vast army of females
who for matrimonial purposes must
be deemed too many. Arranged two
abreast, at ir..snrvals Of q yard, this fair
column would carry the tale of its
grievances from London right across
he border beyond Carlisle, and even
there would find no redress.
The census figures prove that in
Ireland woman's chances of finding
her mate are better than in any other
part of the United Kingdom. For every
/ 900 males Ireland is blessed with 1923
females, a disparity which need not
make any Irish girl despair. England
ranks next as matrimonial marke;
as for every 1000 men there are only
ga females to spare. Scotland fas Lei.
females for every 1000 males, and must
e content to be Stunned of marrying
girls.
The islands adjacent to our shores
are the least promising as matrimonial
hunting grounds, for no fewer than
1,126 females have to be apportioned
among LOCO males. Throughout the
United Kingdom there are approx
mately 1000 females to every 1,C00
males.
The problem of the sexes assumes
startling proportions when we con
slider that the females in the United
Kingdom alone, if placed in single file
at intervals of . little over six feet,
could whisper secret entirely around
he earth at the equator.
The females in England would form

inches more or less than a yard, the

"Would you mind rubbing Tom and
5im's noses, miss? It's a good sign for
the new married pair"
The young woman smiled, but she
did as the driver asked her. Jim and
Tom drew Admiral and Mrs. Sampson
to the station, and they departed from
this city to take up their home in
Washington. Admiral Sampson was

her two sons, Ralph and Harold, spent
the summer with her brother in this

To Arrange Bric-a-Brac.

Authorities upon decoration declare
that there should be a eliminating
spot in the ornamentation of a room.
In the ordinary room this eliminating
center is the fireplace and its Tantel.
Naturally, therefore, this is the place
for the display cf the choicest bits of
bric-a-brac, and, generally speaking,
of the smallest. In arranging these
ornaments it is helpful to bear in mind
the general rule that bronze requires
strong light, and that marble and
delicately tinted china demand half
shadow. Whatever the bric-a-brac, and
wherever placed, it should always be
kept cxquisitely clean.-Ladies' Home

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

At sea level an object 100 feet high
is visible a little over 13 miles. II 500
feet high, it is visible nearly 30 miles.
If it were not for the salts in the
ocean. the whole sea would soon be-
come a mass of corruption, owing to
the decay of the organic matter it con-
tains.
1t has been calculated that ordinary
gunpowder, on exploding, expands
about 5000 times, or fills space this
much larger as a gas than when in
solid form.
1t is frequently observed that as
twilight comes on, red objects lose
their color sooner than others, finally
appearing black, while other colors arc
still visible.
A German biologist has calculated
that the human brain contains 3O0.-
OOO,O00 nerve cells, 5,CO0,O GOO of which
die and are succeeded by new ones
every day. At this rate we get an en-
tirely new brain every GO days.
While building the railway up the
Swiss Corner Graf, about 10000 feet
above sea level. it was ascertained that
the altitude and mountain sickness re-
duced the laboring capacity of the
men by onethird.
The head has II muscles-eight for

"a flannel shirt which l can buy here

NAMED AFTER BISMARCK.
Death of the Great Statesman Recalls
the Founding of a Da-
kOta Town.

The death Of Bismarck recalls to
mind the fact that the capital of North
Dakota was named in his honor. This
was done not because Of any German
settlement in that vicinity, but be-
cause Of desire on the part of the
directors of the Northern .acifc Rail-
road company TO recognize his great
abilities displayed in the Franco-Prus-
sian war. An added reason, no doubt,
was the fact that German and Aus
trian capital had been secured for the
Northern Pacific railroad, and it was q
compliment to these investors also.
The crossing of the Missouri river by
this pioneer railway company was a
proud step and at this time, 1878, Bis
marck's was the greatest name in the
political world. To the letter notify
| ing Bismarck of this honor the great
chancellor wrote the following reply:
Berlin. May 10. 1S73.-Sir: 1 have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt CT your
letter Of the 2S;h OF last month inclosing a
copy of a resolution of the board of d.
rector5 OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, 10 the effect that the town ar the
crossing of the Missouri river ly that
road shall be named Bismarck. I beg you
will be good enough 20 convey to the gen.
tiemen on behalf Of whom You write my
sincere thanks for so fiattering a compli-
| ment and to assure them that l an very
grateful for the terms in which they spee Z

ny country ard to those interests which
are common to all nations. Accept, togeth-
or with my best wishes for the prcspe rity
of your undertaking, the assurance of my
distinguished consideration.
''V. BISMARCK.
| Samuel Wilkescn. Esq, Secretary of the
; Northern Pacific Railroad Company. New
York"
This was the first city in the United
States TO bear Bismarck's name. Since

offices in this country have received
this name, but they are chiefly small
places of little consequence.-Boston
