Prince Henry of Prussia, the Raises only brother, is indeed 'one of the few princes in Europe "who fulfill the romantic ideal of what the son of a royal household should be. A navigator. a scholar, a musician, handsome and dignified in appearance and lovable in personality. His Royal Highness will decidedly be the most interesting visitor the United States has seen in many years. And there is every reason to believe that the olive branch of peace which It is his mission to offer us afresh will.be extended by a most .graceful hand. Henry, the sailor prince of Germany, "Unser Heinrich," as he is affectionately called, is now forty years old, having been born on August 14, 1862. Among the many points in which he offers a striking contrast to his brother. none is more significant than the ' fact that he was the favorite son of ' both his mother and father, and that . he was loyally devoted to them both at a time when William, then Crown ' Prince, was pursuing a decidedly un- [ filial course. Personally Prince Henry is a little less tall than bis brother, c PBINCE^E^NEr OF^PRUSSIA'S WIFE AND ^ family. k sh 1)ut is far more symmetrically propor- el: tloned, and so well have-his twenty years of seamanship agreed with him that he gives an impression of perfect w health.

While Wilhelm's various, remarkable, alarming and erratic attributes and acts have earned for him all sorts of titles among his loving subjects, from War Lord down through all the degraes of Ich und Gott, Wilhelm the Sudden, Wilhelm the All Knowing, Jack of All Trades, the Mailyphlst, the Pickelhaube, and William the Vain. Prince Henry has made himself so . well beloved among the Germans that they have honored him as they did his I father.

A Celebrated Roman Eater. Touching the matter of eating, the stories told by the old chroniclers and historians of the abnormal appetites of certain Roman and Oriental men of note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells of Soliman, a caliph in the eighth century, who died of indigestion in his camp near Chalcis, in Syria, just as he was about to lead an army of Arabs against Constantinople. He had emptied two baskets of eggs and figs, which he swallowed alternately, and the repast was finished with marrow and sugar. In a pilgrimage to Mecca the same caliph had eaten with impunity at a single meal seventy pomegranates, a kid, six fowls and a huge quantity of the grapes of Tayef.

Duripg his recent 1-esearches among the buried cities of Asia Dr. M. A. Stein discovered much information regarding the life of those cities which for 2000 years have been immured in the sand. The most striking excava- j tions were made in the heart of the desert of El Riya. There one settlement'was exposed covering with Its scattered dwellings and shrines an area of about twenty-four square miles.

Subject: Tlie Arrest of Stephen, Acta -H., he 1-13?Golden Text, iMatt. x., 28-Membj ory Verses, 7, 3?Commentary on the Day's Lesson. A 1. "In those days." This phrase was ier- used to mark an indefinite period. In ex- Mact. 3: 1 it implies a number of years, rer- while in Acts 1: 15 it marks a period o^ only a few days. The events of this lesson c. occurred just before the death of Stephen, which was only a short time before the ou. conversion of Saul. "Was multiplied." the Was becoming numerous. "A murmuring." hat A complaint. The ground for the complaint was that partiality had been shown ess in the distribution of tne common fund. in- 2. The twelve. ihe apostles. Matthias was now one of their number. It in seems that up to this time the apostles had attended to this matter. "Called the ?ht multitude." As soon as they were inthe formed of the complaints they immediatein ly called the whole church together and ict. proposed a plan by which these temporal ole interests could be conserved. "Not rea>ad son." "It is not fit." R. V. It is not the proper thing to do. "Forsake the word of ck- God" (R. V.) To leave the higher functions to which we have been called. "And iat serve tables." That is, to attend to the .nd business duties of the church, led 3. "Look ye out." Choose. Here we ;en see an organized, working church. The ilo- apostles took the wise course in order to allay any suspicion that they were showier ing partiality or desired to control the afat. fairs of the church. "From among you" (R. V.) That is, from among the Gre iea cians and Hebrews, that there may be jussh tice done, and no further cause of complaint. "Seven men." Seven was a saHe cred number among the Hebrews and deiot noted completeness. 4. "Continually to prayer." The origoxa inal expression here used denotes intense re- and persevering application to a thing, or ian unwearied effort in it. Even apostles rould not live without prayer. "Ministry of the Lan word." The preaching of the gospel. It :he is by "the foolishness of preaching" that 'he the world is to be saved. The minister e " who does not pray much will be a failure om spiritually. 5. "The saying pleased." There was no ca. thought of neglecting any one, and the ca. whole'body of the disciples rejoiced that a ,a(j remedy had been proposed. "Stephen." jid A man in every way qualified to fill the office. He nobly defended the cause of the 3a_ Lord Jesus and had the honor of being the first Christian martyr. "Philip." In chapter 8: 5 we hear of Philip as a preacher m ke Samaria, and be is probably tne same as .t.e "Philip the evangelist" mentioned in chappy ter 21: 8.

"A great ses company," etc. This was the crowning his triumph of the gospel. 8. "And Stephen." Very little is in- known of the history of Stephen. It i8 ral thought that he was one of Peter's converts on the day of Pentecost. "Full of grace and power" (R. V.) He was filled ce. with the Holy Spirit and had power, (1) ;re as a great resoner and (2) to work miralet cles. "Did." "He was a man of deeds." "Wonders." This is one of the words used in the New Testament to denote mirho acle3. "Miracles"?'"Signs." R. V. "He ray wrought miracles, principally, no doubt, bis in cases of sickness and suffering." ire 9. "There arose certain." Stephen excited the envy and jealousy of tne unbeow lieving Jews, not only by the wonders and rn. miracles which he wrought, and which ills won distinction for him, but also by his - a gift3 of knowledge and eloquence which he employed in bearing witness for Christ. _j TViotr konnmo ovfifpfl ar)r)him Dei* IIU ~-7 m to aonally, and engaged in discussion or debates with him.

"Suborned men." Privately bribed 33 and instructed. "Against Moses." Steier phen taught that the old dispensation was j? m decay, and that the temple must pass icl3 away. "Against God."

At this time the whole Jewish people were in l0? a state of ill-suppressed frenzy and most ,r* sensitive jealousy for th$ honor of the Mosaic institutions?feelings which broke out in constant revolts against the Roman power. This accusation was therefore the it^ | most likely one they could have pitched r<j upon to stir up ill will. "Caught him." las Without law or form of justice the people us. and magistrates rushed on the good man, ,tj. seized him and brought him to a council ur. that was ready for every evil work.
