Boy may the eagles ever be thine.

Boy may the eagles ever be thine.
Onward and upward and true to the line.
Learning to spell by Wcbster's
system means getting "by heart
the principles of sound which gov
ern the greatest language of modern
times. There may be better sys-
TENS than Wcbstcr's systematic
attempt to analizc the English Ian
guage by its deepest laws of sound,
and there may be better systems of
ethics than the poems of Little
Drops Of Water collection. But
the boy who really learned by
heart, who really assimiatcd and
made part of himself as II principle
of his life the StanZas | have quot
ed was already ii master of arts.
In Il measure in which he acted by
them he became IL master of men,
a"doctor of philosophy with the
only degree that is worth anything
the degree Of success For to
master men by getting at the prin-
cipIcs of their life, the principles
of kindness is the only mastery
there is that goes onward and up
ward and true to the line" Only
those can have such mastery who
know men "by heart" instead of
knowing them merely by brain.
The things we know "by heart"
are things we know without
knowing it. And, though these
times are better than the former
times, they are times in which we
know too mnch of what we know,
so much that when the test comes
and nothing but presence of
mind' is of any use whatever, we
must let everythin g go except what
we really know by heart, and act
in disregar d of all we know we
know and could use if we only had
time 70 think and write out an es-
say on the subject. When the cri-
sis comes, when there is no time
to think, when action must be i'm
mediate, swift and sure, we learn
that we belong still to the old
school, and we have been getting
things by heart, as our fathers did.
For il is from the heart that the
intuitions of the principles of life
come, when everything except intu-
itions of principle are inadequate
and useless.

Prince Henry then inquired what the pro-
gramme for the day was. and DR.. Hill answered
that he feared that. owing to the condition of

would be necessary to give up the contemplated
visit to the tomb of General Grant Whereupon

BEAUTIFUL WINTER DAY.
No more perfect midwinter day ever dawned
than that which showed Prince Henry his first
view of New York City. The sun never flashed
brighter upon bluer water. and as the huge
liner slowly ploughed her way cautiously up
from the Narrows the walls of the city's sky
scrapers rose. dim and far away, cleaning
vaguely through the last film of the morning

his close attention
The Kronprinz came opposite the Thirty
fourth-st. pier AT little before noon. and was
cheered right Justify by the crew Of the Hohen-
zollern but it nearly an hour later before
she warped into the pier and the Prince
disembarked Much trouble was experienced
with the gangplank owing to the height of the
tide. but these difficulties were finally adjusted
and all ready for the decentralization
Rear Admiral Evans and his staff were the
first to come down the eangplank They lined
up on either side, and then Prince Henry him

his heels came Rear Admiral Evans the Nina

the Prince responded in English:

After the members of Rear Admiral Evans S
staff had been presented to the Prince the Kron-
prinz renewed her journey up the harbor toward
the pier at West Thirty fourth-st., where the
royal yacht was waiting TO receive the Prince
It was noisy and an enthusiastic journey. As
the liner came opposite the men-of-wa lying at
anchor off Tompkinsville each of the four yes

salute-ninety- six guns in all. The German
colors were broken out at the foretruck of each
vessel as the salute begun. and remained
flying there until the last gun had been fired.
Prince Henry stood upon the bridge of the
Kronprinz looking toward the men-of-war until
the saluting was over. behind him being Rear
Admiral Evans and the members of the two
staffs There was more salutng when the
Kronprinz got off Governors Island where the
guns of Castle William repeated the national
salute.
