Expected to See Her in Regal Robes.

One day when the Queen was
standing on the public road near
Balmoral, sketching the castle from
particular point, a flock of sheep
approached. The Queen, being in
tent on her work, took little notice
'f the hock, and merely moved a
little nearer the side of the road.
A boy in charge of the sheep shout
ed, at the top of a stentorian voice,
"Stan' out o the road, 'owman, an
let the sheep gao by" The Queen,
not moving quite SO fast as the shep-
herd wished, he again shouted, Fat
are ye standin' there for! Gan.
cot O that, an let the sheep passF'
One of the Queens attendants, who
had been at distance, cried out to
the boy, "Don't you knew who that
isf' "No, l neither ken nor care;
but, be she ia she likes, she shud
ma be i the sleeps road" "That's
the Queen" said the official. The
boy looked astonished, and, after
recovering his senses, said, with
great simplicity 'eThe Queenl Cd,

President White, of Cornell
University, believes IN the value of
athletic sports as part of college
life, and cites the fact that while
he was at Yale the sixteen men
who composed the boats crew were
not only the best men in college
physically, but were also the best
mentally. While this may be true
enough, the tuition-paying public
may still properly insist that the
college authorities shall see 20 it
thatthe students shall be continually
reminded that the chief business
of college life is study.

There is no relaxation in the de-
msnd for places under the govern
ment. Chiefs of departments and
bureaus still find their time almost
wholly occupied in considering ap,
plicatiens for appointments. The
Interior Department seems to be
the objective point for most of the
ofiice-seekers. This must be a
splsRdid place in which to study
character. Hundreds of n.en and

worst, nre objects of interest.

and Basfness HEN Who Co
Astray from Overwork.
Mr.. Crnant belonged to . class
which, taken in the larger sense,
includes nearly all professional
men-pbysicians, lawyers and cler-
gymen, as well as journalists. This
class is nisnamed the intellectual
class, ter the work Of merchants,
bankers, inventors, builders, in /,
fact all men who are required to
necessarily use their Judgment and
designing faculties, is as strictly in
tellectual as that of the man who
edits newspaper, writes a poem or
compeses a sermon. Bankers and
builders, merchants and master me
chanics break down as frequently
as editors aud preachers, the Only
difference being chat they are not
80 prominent, and consequently not
SO much talked about. I know a
f0or-wslker in great dry goods
store whose mental organization is
exactly like that Of certain clergy
men and Journalists, and once in a
while he breaks down just as some
preachers aud editors do, and for
the same reason. l know a con.
tractor, who is of pure mind and
correct habits, but for once, having

was sure little fortune. strayed

The Boston Journal OF Education
says: One error into which some
of our theorists are falling is the
notion that everything possible in
the development of the mature
mind can be undertaken in the ear
liest years. Many of the most i'm
portant tendencies of human nature
are of later development, and are
only bli9hted or stung to prema-
ture activity by an attempt at the
all-sided training of infancy. One
of the most difficult and delicate
offices of the teacher and mother
is to know just when the child
emerses into a new realm of his
opening experience, and to meet it
at the threshold with a wise and
not too helpful advice and direction.
There is constant danger that the
teacher will fall into this most dan
gerous of all delusions-that she is
the center of the child's universe,
and his whole life must be adjusted
to her plans of operation. The siu-
pie truth is that the teacher is only
one Of a group of instructors in that
art Of living which we call educa-
ton. The family, the church, the
occupation in life, society, citizen
ship, are the other factors; and all
this work is encompassed by that
mystery we call the material and
spiritual universe, moving under
the direction of Infinite wisdom,
beauty and love. The wise teacher
sees most clearly what order Of
faculties live within the scope of
sch Dol work, and at what angle be
is brought in contact with the most
marvellous of all creatures, the lit
| tie child.

If prohibition does not prohibit,
II, as the liquor leagues and their
friends assert, prohibition increases
the sale Of intoxicating drinks, why
do these same liquor leagues oppose
prohibition3 The Scott act of Can
ada almost amounts to prohibition.
II is local option law which is in
force in sixty counties. The liquor
men wish to have it amended.
Whyi Here is what the dispatch
says: "If the amendwent is not
carried a large number of brsweries
will have to close, as already their
sales have been greatly curtailed by
the adoption Of the Scott act in the
