PRINCE AUGUSTUS WILLIAM.
Son of the German Emperor Soon tC
 be a New York Visitor.

Son of the German Emperor Soon to
 be a New York Visitor.
 Prince Augustus William of Prussia, fourth son of Emperor William, who is coming to New York, seems to possess an Individuality worthy of a son of that strenuous monarch. His request to travel in America is in itself rather original. His desire to go into civil service instead of the military (the traditional destiny of all Hohenzolern prinees) is another indication of mod ern ideas. The emperor has acceded to both requests; and the young prince, who is just twenty, will leave Germa- ny at the expiration of a brief service in the First Regiment of the Guards, which means that he may be in this country next summer, says the Broad way Magazine.
 |. Emperor William has ruled his sons with rod of iron. They have worked and played as he ordered, and their lives have been mapped out for them according to his ideas. However, with three sons officers in the Prussian army, the emperor was willing to let the fourth go into the civil service; and with his interest in the huge successes and stupendous enterprises of modern American life, he was willing to let Prince Augustus travel in the land of republican government so eminently distasteful to imperial ideas.
 The young prince is now completing his college days at the University of Bonn, where most of the young aris- tocrats of Germany are educated. Bonn is a nest of feudalistic survivals and medieval customs. The change from this atmosphere to that of Ameri- can working life will be rather marked. Prince Augustine wants to meet and study the people who do things in America, and the things they do. He wants to meet all sorts of Americans; wealthy, cultured commercial. law yers, inventors, mechanics, trust mag mates, university professors and work ingmen. He wants to visit schools, factories and legislative assemblies. He plans to visit the factories incogni- to and to study life at close range,

CONVERSATION OUT OF FASHION

CONVERSATION OUT OF FASHION.
 The truth is that the manner of conversation has changed the age is intensely practical We have abandon | ed oratory and turned our backs on | sparkling repartee and the bon mot. Your real lawyer no longer depends upon his eloquence. He is appearing less and less frequently in court. He does an office business, His success is measured by the quantity of broken glass with which the top of the fence which surrounds him bristles, the almost insurmountable obstacles plac- ed in the path of clients who are anx- i ious to communicate with him. And the adiner out or parlor hero has given over the attempt to be witty and interesting
 Conversation, like all Gaul, is di- vided into three parts. money, golf and bridge" and if you do not specu- late in stocks or play golf or bridge you may go out on the piazza and smoke or fan yourself in a corner. The brilliant conversationalist is not en- couraged. He may think up' a num- Der of bright things to say, but he twill ge no opportunity to say them.- Providence Tribune,
 | THE AXIAL ROTATION OF VENUS. 1 For over two centuries it was gen. erally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on it's axis in q little less than twenty hours, but since schiaparelli, sixteen years ago, after long and careful ob- servation of tue planet, suggested that the actual rotation period was be- tween six and nine months, astronom- CTS have devoted much attention to
 this matter In the March "Observa- tory" MT Denning sums up the avail able evidence on the point, and can only conclude that this particular pro-
 blem still defies solution. Life on Ven
 us would be very different from life ! on the earth should the planets apial
 rotation be, as Schiaparaelli asserted
 identical with the period of it's revolu- ! tion round the run. as in that case I the same hemisphere would always be i turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual
 day, while the opposite hemisphere
 would be doomed to eternal night 1 Westminster Gazette.

BLOCKADE IN CIVIL WAR.
Old Maine Skipper Tells of One Which
 Has All Others Beaten.

Olu MdlHe Sklppef 1ellS OI One w lllct
 Has All Others Beaten.
 Talking about blockades of an enc mys ports and blockade service gen. erally, an old coasting ship skipper gives vent to some views that, what ever may have been the value of them in nautical point of view had at least the merit of entertaining his Iis- teners, says the Washington Post.
 This old mariner, who halls from the state of Maine and is regarded by those who knew him az one of the best among the multitude of good sailormeh that state has produced, was during the civil war in this country an acting master in the United States navy and commanded as taut little schooner as ever sailed the seas over.
 q was or blockade duty nearly all the time during the war and stationed along the coast at various places along the Atlantic coast from Virginia capes all the way down to Florida and for over two years in my experience we were not in smooth waters" he said.
 q have always contended that the volunteer navy, as some of the regular men were pleased to style 1t, never re- ceived it's due share of praise for the service 1t performed. Maybe I am wrong, but I have ever insisted. that lying off coast and being at the mer- cy of the storms and gales that are constantly coming across the Atlantic ocean is an awful peril. Here you are" he remarked, tiled down by the nose just far enough from shore to see the dim outline of the coast and in a condition of prlvation and danger all the time.
 Looking back through all these years now" the old sailor enthusiastic cally declared, q am firmly of the con- viction that the blockade established by this government in the war be- tween the states was the greatest blockade that ever existed. In addi- ton to the storms and hurricanes that blow all the way over the eastern ocean, the navy had most vigilant foe to contend with, but it kept the blockade intact until the war ended.
 T am one of the old salts who never tire in sounding the praise of the vol unteer navy, and like to talk about it whenever I can find any one good enough to listen to me.
 "Thehe is one thing my blockade ex- perience taught me, and I presume oth- CT ship captains as well" declared the old sailor, "and that is that when you are caught at night off the port you are bound to not to hesitate to come to anchor off the coast and wait for day. light. There was time when ship captains wouldn't dare to run that risk of being caught in gale and driven ashore. Though I am no longer an &C., tive skipper, if I should happen ever to be in command of a ship I would no more hesitate to anchor off the coast anywhere than I would hesitate to an- chor in the Potomac, concluded the old sailor.

JOY OF IA COLLECTOR.

Some one I know had been to see the collection before the sale. He came across portrait with which he was familiar, because he had seen it thirty years before. On consulting his cata- logue he discovered that the portrait was described as being that of man unknown, and further, the artist was also unknown. Now he knew that the portrait was that of a famous actor by @ famous English painter He longed to buy it. but decided that it would go at too high 8 price, He went to the Whistler and the Sargent were sold, and then it was the turn of this pie ture Nobody recognized it. Finally he had to start the bidding himself, and this he did. Only one man bid against him, but he soon stopped, discouraged, and then the picture was Knocked down to the man who had never expected to get it. He hurried to the desk to pay the small amount and to carry off his prize. Do you happen to know any thing about that portrait?" the auc- tioner asked him, as porter took it down to a cab.

CONSERVATIVE SPELLING RE-
 FORM.

Spelling ferom will not come quick ly and generally until the children are Accustomed to the new forms. To ac- complish this the changes must be intrudced into the schools. The educa-
 tors and the textbook printers must
 agree upon scheme of change and
 put it into practical use. But this movement must be national and uni form. Better the old absurdities against which complaint is now voiced by the reformers than conflicting To- cal systems of spelling. The country can worry along with a wide range of dialect differences in speech, but it must have a common, solid foundation | for the written language of it will 1 linguistically go to mash.-Washing-
