ROYAL Visitors to Berlin.

The visit To Germany which the Prince
of Wales is TO make in the spring. accord
ing to present arrangements. is not to be
associated with a sojourn at one OF the
universities OF the Fatherland. II has al
ready been pointed out that there is no
intention on the part OF the King Of send
ing the Prince OF Wales TO European
university and the present expectation is
that his ma iestys second son Will be
chosen FOR the duty of familiarlzing him
self with German student life. When
Prince Albert returns from his Cumber-
land cruise he will have seen something
of the world. and his naval esprit Will
help him along famously in the Sturin
und Drdng Of a German university town
Bonn and Heidelberg are very much less
somnolent than the academies OF learning
on the Isis and the Cam. But there are
some other considerations To be taken into
account such as the matrimonial future
of the royal cadet and II is for this red-
son that no definite announcement on the
subject IL to be expected for the present.
The Prince OF Wales will naturally time
his visit here when the German Emperor
~ back again in his own dominion, after
his projected cruise In the Levant. The
Kaiser has been looking forward with
much eagerness for couple OF years past
To the pleasure of investing his cousin 5
heir with the Cross Of the Black Eagle,
and the ceremony will probably be car
ried out in full chapter.

policemen IN Uniform. while the master

Some of the women in the best society

What tho World Refuses.

The deep religious feelings OF tho
Kaiser were in evidence recently while
he was visiting a convent OF clustered
nuns. The Emperor entered into con-
versation with one of the Sisters.
The woman was thrty-tive years old.
His ma jesty asked her how long she had
been a nun. She replied:
About twenty years" The Kaiser re-
marked that she must have begun her
novitiate very early. She answered:
At sixteen His majesty then asked :
What caused you. when so young, al
most child, TO renounce the world and
it's pleasur.s-some great MISFORTUNE"
She answered: NO. only my love for
God. And YOU who have remained I'm the
world. what pleasures do you find IN it,
The Kaiser. without replying. asked:
Did II cause YOU no sorrow to sacrifice
your youth" She said:
What Is youth? A dewdrop in the
field. which Nature gives in the night
and which disappears with the first rays
of the morning sun
The Kaiser left her with the remark
! Sister, you have gained that which the
world refuses-peace.
