German Princes’ Wanderjahr.

The prince of Wales might possibly enjoy his German trip still better if he could view the country in the unconventional way followed by the German crown prince and his brothers. Like all the Hohenzollerns, the kaiser’s sons were taught trades, and their father also allowed them to taste the delights of the “wanderjahr,” which still forms part of the education of most German artisans. _ In the of the young princes the year was split up over several successive summer holidays, which they spent tramping through Germany, knapsack on back, and' sleeping at roadside inns. They traveled without a servant, accompanied only by their military governor. Col. von Falkenheyn, and were scarcely ever recognized.
