KAISER'S SONS CONFIRMEn
An Impressive Occasion in the Fam
lily of Germany's Em.
perOr.

At the kaiser's express wish the con
frmation of his two eldest sons took
place on recent Sunday at the Fried
enskirche, in Potsdam, the scene Of
the kaiser's own einsegnung, special
trains conveying the imperial family
and it's 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 ard 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 nt the confirmation of
the royal family, each read In n clear
voice a confession of faith composed
by himself. After this servicr q con-
grntulatory reception was held at tho
stadtschloss in Potsdam. which was
followed by n breakfast there. In ac-
cordance with another German cts-
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.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever;' nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

WAS NOT AN ETCHER.
How the Very shy Young Man AZ
sMeced the Pretty Girl.


This is the story of a shy young man,
and for that reason his name shall be
hidden under the mantle of charity. He
is very SHY youth in the presence OF
all womankind, ard has even been
known TO blush when a wee baby girl
smiled at him and gurgled. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that while his
family were more or less immersed in
society, he seldom went forth himself,
says the Kansas City Star.
One day his aunt babe him to dinner
and declared that she would be forever
offended if he did not come 1t was a
family conspiracy. you see, to intro
duce him 10 the sweetest girl in the
world, who would undertake to cure
him of his shyness.
The dinner came off and the shy
young man found himself seated by the
sweetest girl. 1t was hard work for the
girl. though. All through dinner she
had made impossible conversation and
and stammering.
At length dessert was served, and
with the finger bowls came doylies. on
each of which was drawn clever little
design with indelible ink. Pictures Of
this sort are, for some unaccountable
reason. said to be etched. They fur
nished the almost exhausted girl with a
new theme, however. Turning TO the
shy youth she inquired, brightly:
"Do you etch? ?"
"N-no," he replied, ''but I've been
troubled with prickly heat somewhat
during the last hot spell"
With shrek of insuppressible
laughter the sweetest girl gave him
up. He is still shy

IN AN OLD CANE.
A Letter TO the Earl of Essex from
Charles L.


A dear friend of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and man of
cminence in letters, was shown over the
cathedral of Itchfield by the then dean,
says writer in the Gentleman's Mag
azine. AS a souvenir of his visit he
was presented by the dean with a Gu
rious and handsome cane which some
years previously had been dug out in
the course of some alterations. For
years my friend used this, until the top
came off and the revelation was made
that the cane was hollow. Thrusting
down a finger, the owner brought out
a vellum Unissive. This proved to be
a letter to the earl of Essex, signed
by Charles l., asking him to bring over
his army to the royal side and promis-
ing in recompense for so doing his own
gratitude and the richest reward that
monarch could bestow upon subject.
After the death of my friend | was
permitted to show the treasure, for
such in fact it was, at the British mu-
scum. Alas for the hopes that had
been formed. Mr.. Warner brought me
out a practical facsimile and told me
that others were in existence. Cop
les had been made, and several had been
dispatched by different hands in the
hope that one might reach the earl

concealment prevented its detection I'M

NEW FAD FOR RICH WOMEN.
Wearing Diamonds the Finger
Nails Is Now the Thing

NO" the
Millionaire women have a new &C.
ccntricity which they are quite sure
they can reserve for their own eXcIu-
sive use, says the Detroit Free Press.
The initiating multitudes Will be de
barred from the sincerest form of fiat
terry by their lack of ducats. They will.
therefore, be compelled to remain in
the background to covet and admire.
The new millionaire fad is to wear
diamonds on the finger nails. This j.
so very simply accomplished that one
wonders why millionaires have never
thought of it before When one con
siders how very easy a matter it is
to attach diamonds to the ends of ones
fingers, it becomes a matter of painful
regret that finger nails have remained
unornamented so many thousand years.
The new fashion, which has all the
glory and prestige of an invention
along more scientific lines, DEGREES that
the women with bank accounts long
enough to permit of this costly tritling
shall have a tiny gold cap made for
each Of their fingers. From the cap *
suspended on the outer side a big dia-
mond drop, which sparkles most salts
factorily, there being one large sparkle
for each finger nail. OF course, the
sparkles are not so conspicuous as they
would be if a large number of rings
were not worn at the same time, but
society is hardly yet ready for the great
sacrifice which the laying off of ring
would entail. Some day, perhaps, the
finger nail adornments may be allowed
to shine in undiminished glory.

Fairy Possession.

A writer in the London Spectator has
many interesting things to tell about
popular superstitions that survive in
Ireland. a friend Of lis who lived in
Connemara states that the belief in
fairies and the mischievous little
people" is still very strong in that
region, and the idea of fairy possess
sion" is also common. This latter super
stition sometimes works disastrouslv,
rs when a sick person is entirely neg
lected by his or her friends. If any
remonstrance is made, the answer is:
"Shure, it's not him Tor her, as the
case may be- at all. It's only an ould
fairy" Even medicine ordered by the
doctor has not been given to the I'M
fortunate sufferer, on the ground that

AT A CHINESE FUNERAL.
Elaborate Feast on the Grave for IL.
Spirits NOurishment.

EeaSt the
Spirits NOurishment.
The musical instruments are of such
whimsical form as nearly to defy de
scription, though they resemble in out
line our flute and violin; and the sound
which they produce being an almost I'M
neard-of sound 10 US, we have no Eng
lish term that will adequately express
it, says Lippincott's. Chinese music has
a sort Of softness and melancholy in its
tones that sometimes pleases, bat it is
so intolerably monotonous that # pro-
iOnged it becomes exceedingly irrltat-
ing to the nerves. They have no semi
tones; indeed, they seem only TO blow
into the instrument or twang strings at
random from the inspiration of the mo-
ment. However, it appears they have
notes, though their compositions are
not of much scientific value. You some
times hear something like simple mel
ody, not unlike that which runs through
the chants of sayages.
The closing scenes may be said to con
sIst Of four acts; that of the mourners
taking separate leave of their friend,
edch apparently Trying TO Quito the
other in loud lament alton; that of
gathering together all the silkand china
and packing away the musical instru-
ments; that of the undertaken and the
son OF Erin still further removing the
traces, until only Il mound marks the
scene; and that of the feast spread over
the grave. And it would be an elaborate
menu that would include the substan-
hals and delicacies calculated to nour-
lsh the spirit while it fingers about the
body awaiting resurrection.
