KA1sER's SONS CONFIRMED.
An Impressive Occasion In the Fam
lily of Germnny's EN-

AT the kaiser's express wish the con-
place on recent Sunday at the Fried
ensldrche, in Potsdam, the scene of
the kaiser's own einsegnung, special
trains conveying the imperial family
and its guests (about 10 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
ers for the important service, which
was 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 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-
tons We're conferred on the crown

Preaching and Prncticing.

The Boston Transcript tells school
story which enforces the lesson that
preaching is of little use without prac-
ticing. In n school in Boston not far
above the primary grade, the teacher
was one day reading q story the sub
ject of which was borrowing. She sup
plemented the reading with some re-
marks of her own, which she closed
with this parting admonition: "Above
oil things, children, when you have oc-
casion to borrow, never forget to re-
turn the borrowed article. Do not put
the person who was kind enough to ac-
commodate you to the trouble of send
ing for it," While she was still speak
ing, a knock was heard at the door.
Come in,' said the teacher, as soon as
she had finished her sentence. pupil
from another department entered, and
stood waiting. well, what is it,

Blank says" the visitor called out, in

the room, will you be kind enough to

War Signals for Farmers.

II plans under consideration are per-
fected the trains of the great railroads
of the United States will become dis
seminators of war news, bearing at
fastest speed news of American VIC
tories or defeats. The plan was
Matched several days ago, and already
many of the largest railroads have
agreed to take part In 1t. 1t is pro-
posed to carry the news to the country
districts by means of flags flying from
trains. For this purpose various pieces
Of bunting will be provided the train
crews and instructions as to the
proper means of displaying them will
be issued to all agents and dispatchers.
Codes explaining the signal system
will be distributed by each road to the
districts through which it passes, in
order that the people may be able to
read the messages. 1t is contemplated
to give only the meager information of
victory for American or Spanish
arms, though the signals will show
whether the victory is on land or sea.
A United States flag will mean VIC
tory for American land forces. A
United States flag with a blue pennant
above will show victory for the
American navy. The Rock Island, Bur-
lington, Northwestern, Illinois Cen
trail and Baltimore & Ohio roads have
adOpted this scheme

KEEPING STEP WITH THE MUSIC
Men who Never Get Their Left Foot
Hooked to the Heavy Tap
of-the Drum, 1,

It is curious fact, says 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
tinl 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 at military parade, and this not
as result of confusion due to two
bands of music, one ahead and the
