GERMAN GROWN PRINCE.

The German Crown Prince is guest
OF the Earl OF Lonsdsle, the we'll
known sporting Dobleman, at his cOun-
try residence in England. The reason
for his semi.seclusion, when London
offers such variety Of amusement, has
just leaked out, aud illustrates an I'M
suspected trait 10 the character OF the
heir apparent to the German throne.
He has fallen under the severe displeas-
ure OF his royal father because of al
escspsde a few nights ago. Having
determined to see some OF the sights OF
the English capital. he visited several
music halls. But to avoid being recOg-
nized he disguised himself efectusliy
with false beard and moustsohe. AZ
companied by faithful equerry, he
made the rounds of the pleasure resorts
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. But,
alas for princely subterfuge, be was
recognized by detectives, who con-
scientiously reported their discovery to
headquarters. The news was sent inn
medistely to Berlin, and the Kaiser
forwarded severe reprimsnd TO his
son and heir, pointing out that By his
playful escapade be had seriously com.
promised the dignity which should
hedge royal parsonage. The COM
PLEASANT eeuerry was ordered back to
Berlin in disgrace, aud is liable to
severe punishment. He will DE re-
placed by an officer who will be more
careful OF his royal masters reputation.

ISOLATION for the Advancement OF

unanimous vote they declared that
Adam add Eve, the worlds first parents,
We're myths, but neglected to state who
were the progeni ore Of the human

II Adam and Eve we're myths. Jesus OF
Nazareth and all his apostles are likely
to be declared such by some wOuld-be
knowalls. For nearly thirty-fve cen
turie, the book of Genesis has stood the
assaults OF those who know nothing

mine the faith OF others. The story OF
Eden is an old one and 10 various
guIses is found in the history and
mythology of all nations. 1t was cor
roborated by the Author Of the Chris
tan religion and those He selected as
witnesses to his mission. We live in q

creased, but the Bible, like q rock amid
