NJ HILE Kaiser Wilhelm enjoys the
esteem and admiration of the
world at large as one of the most as
tute and sagacious of modern rulers,
the love and affection of his German
subjects is increased because he is a
model father.
Possessing six sons, he considers it
his duty to bring them up as good
men and to educate them as gentle-
men. In spite of the many duties de-
manding his daily attention, he always
finds time to look after the education
and moral training Of his children. He
talks every day with their tutors about
their studies, their progress and their
individual peculiarities and capabili-
ties. He is radically opposed to over
study, and it is one. of the strictest
OF his rules that the minds of his chill
dren shall not be cultivated at the ex-
pense Of their physical health. He talks
with his, boys. assists them with their
work, lessons their labors, and shares
their pleasures.
During the last few months he has
made his elder boys assist him, and,
while the Crown Prince Frederick Will
helm and Prince Eitel Fritz are attend
ing many public functions as the per-
sonal representatives of the kaiser,
Prince Adalbert, 'tthe sailor prince" as
he is familiarly called, has been sent
TO the far East on a duty tour and to
pay many visits in his fathers name
Naturally, more is expected Of a
prince than Of a simple citizen of the
middle class, and the education of the
imperial princes, therefore, has been
most thorough. Above all, thorough
acquaintance with the modern Ian
guages, especially French and English,
is expected of every prince of the i'm
per1aI throne. The arrangement of their
hours Of work for every day always
has been made carefully beforehand,
everything is regulated with military
precision. Besides their intellectual
training, the young princes have to
be developed from a physical point Of
view. They must cultivate the arts,
too. The crown prince and his next
brother are good musicians, and play
ON the violin and piano. A sergeant
major drills the younger princes every
day, and one hour is devoted to riding.
From their earliest years the children
are put on ponies and learn at once to
mount horse bareback The kaiser
superintends these riding lessons in
person, because Of his love Of horses
and his skill as a horseman. AS soon
as the princes could sit on their horses
they were taught to jump and it did
not take them long to jump hedges,
hurdles, and even walls. The older
princes are famous as horsemen.
The kaiser has ever been a strict dis
ciplinarian, and even with his children
has been know to use the rod when
necessary, for six high-spirited BOYS

had much to do with the rearing of the
emperors boys, on one occasion before
entering the study left his hat in the
anteroom. Now. it happened that the
children short time before had seen
an opera hat, and had amused them
selves by trying to discover the secret
of the mechanism that permitted it to
be opened and closed at will. They
took it for granted that good Herr

royalty became SO demonStratiVe as to

ants. The situation was, however, so
comical that the kaiser could NOT he
angry, the less so as the pastor inter-
ceded for the culprits. A new hat was
brought for Pastor FrommeL and the
children escaped with reprimand.
Quite recently the crown prince
showed himself to be a daring horse
man. At the head of the second COM

Is the famous castle of Frederick the
Great. From the park behind a large
fountain, broad steep stairs in six ter
races lead to the castle. The prince,
sitting high on his horse, and fol-
lowed by the entire company, rode up
the stairs, and when he had reached
the highest terrace dismounted and
showed the men around the castle. He
is, as all Hohenzollerns have to be. an
excellent soldier
Prince Eitel Fritz, the second boy. is
manly, vigorous young man, appre-
ciat1ng his position as a member OF
the imperial house, but, contrary to
the attitude that would be taken. bv
many boys in his position, has nothing
OF the prig about him. He has wise
head, with face denoting high inteIli-
gence, we'll set on broad shoulders, and
his smile wins all with whom he comes
IN contact. While he is, as all Hohen-
zolIerns must be, soldier. and an

intends that he shall fill some minis
terlal or other position in civil life.
Prince Adalbert, "the sailor princeo'
gains golden opinions from everyone
with whom he comes in contact. He
is a finely grown youth Of nearly twen-
ty. He looks every inch a sailor in his
naval lieutenant's uniform, and many
people consider him the handsomest of
the kaiser's sons. He is the one most
like his father. Prince Adalbert's
manners are charming, and he is
equally popular in the ball room and
mess room, and. like his uncle Prince
Henry, is a good sailor and officer. At
present he holds the rank Of a lieu
tenant, position gained by hard work.
and he neither gets nor wants any
favoritism.
Not long ago he was visiting on
board his ship in Piraeus, the port of
Athens. and, like most Of his COM
rades, was making a night Of it at a

TONS OF BRIGHT GEMS.
The Worlds Supply of Diamonds
Weighs 100000 Carats.

1t is estimated that the total world
production of diamonds up to date ap-
proximates 100000 carats, says the
Baltimore American. AS we are not
in the habit of weighing our diamonds
by the ton, we are in some doubt con-
corning the proper system of compu-
tation, whether troy or avoirdupois,
long ton or short ton. According to
the system used by those who do
weigh their diamonds in ton quaint
ties, the result would be in the neigh
borhood of twenty or twenty-five tons
of sparklers now appearing as factors
in the joys and miseries of a world
which has substituted diamonds for
the beads and wampum of it's ances-
tors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage Of their con-
tribution appear as follows: South
Africa, 91.5 per cent; Brazil, IS per
cent, and the remaining 5 per cent
divided among Borneo, India, New
South Wales and British Guiana, with
North America and Russia supplying
specimens. The last two Of these
countries have furnished just about
enough to equip an opera box for a
single evening. The deep obligation of
society to South Africa Is fully appar-
ent. The price of diamonds has been
heavily advanced during the last year
or two. but it is simply appalling to
think what the price would have been
without the South African supply. So
ciety, American, English and continent
al, should daily thank heaven for Kim
berley and Jagersfontein.
We are unable to give the cubic
measurement of the total collection,
but, so far as weight is concerned, 1t

DecOYinp the Hessiau EIY.

Wheat growers of long experience
are familiar with the plan Of sowing
a decoy strip of wheat early in the
season to entice the hessian fly. 1t is
a good plan to do this, even If there
is no certainty that the enemy may
be waiting for you. A narrow strip
is sown entirely around the field in
tended for wheat, and this is turned
under at the time. the main crop is to
be sown. This turning the decoy strip
Of wheat under is better plan than
blowing a number Of dead burrows he
tween this strip and the main field.
The main crop should be sown as late
as it can be with safety, whether the
decoy strip is used Or not, for the later
the sowing the less danger from the
hessian fly. Bear in mind also that
aside from the battle with the hessian
fly, success in wheat-growing comes
from the thorough preparation of the
seed bed. The man who works on the
plan that the seed bed for wheat can
not be made too good is the one who
gets the profitable crop. At least this
is the result on farms that have been
titled for a number Of years.

California is the leading honey pro

sand swarms, producing about one
and quarter million pounds Of honey
and over sixty thousand pounds of
wax. In San Diego County alone are
about twenty thousand swarms, val
ued at $4,000. Texas stands next to
California as a producer, followed by
Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina
and Tennessee. The total product of

Rotating Wheat and Potatoes.

Rotating Wheat and Potatoes.
There have been all sorts of results
with wheat following potatoes and
such results have largely followed
closely in accordance with the fertil-
iZers used. Naturally, as wheat does
best on a soil which has been well
worked and prepared, following the
potato crop with wheat offers every
chance for good crop of the cereal,
but always provided the proper fer
tilizers are applied and in considerable
quantity, for it must be remembered
that the potato crop has not left much
Of the applied fertilizer for any fol-
lowing crop, and second that the ac-
ton of the fertilizer will necessarily
be slower during the season in which
the wheat gets its start. In following
potatoes with wheat try this plan.
Rake off the potato tops, and with the
harrow level the. soil and loosen it to
the depth of two or three inches; then
roll the ground and drill in the seed
with 200 pounds to the acre of some
commercial fertilizer rich i'll phos-
phoric acid. The potato tops may be
spread over the seed bed as mulch,
and will materially help the wheat.
Rather a radical way of doing this
work, perhaps, but it has paid well
with many farmers, hence is worth
trial

GERMAN ELEMENT IN LEAD.

Numerically 1t Holds First Place
Among American People.
A German writer says that in 1880
German blood ran in the veins Of
about one-fifth Of the population Of
the United States. In 1880 the Anglo
Saxon-Puritan element numbered
2,964,71 the German element 1885,
1877 and the American population, in
which the several European strains
had already become SO thoroughly
blended as to be no longer easily dis
tinguishable, 4,852,717.
At the century's end he finds in the
United States 25,477,583 Germans, as
compared with 12,713,0 36 descendants
of the American" inhabitants in 1880,
and 12,11S.640 Anglo-Saxons. The
Teutonic element Germans, Scandina-
VANS, Dutch and Belgians) is given as
43 per cent of the total white popula-
ton. But very little reflection upon
the foregoing figures will be required
to convince our readers that in the
course of a century large part of the
German element-which was impor-
tant at first and has been increasing
SO rapidly that it now holds the first
position numerically and is indeed
twice as strong as the Anglo-SaXon in
that sense-must have become by in
termarriage thoroughly amalgamated
with the descendants of British colo
nists and the nineteenth century immi-
grants from Great Britain.
It is a fair presumption that the in
f1uence of German blood-the inheri-
lance of 1.-The best of the German ma
tiol.ality"-may be traced in the more
or less useful careers Of very many Of
the prominent Americans whose
names give no uncertain indication OF
their German origin or Of German
blood derived through some ances-
tress.-Harper's Weekly.
