Anecdotes orthe Duke of Ehinburab


The succession of the Duke Of Edin-
burgh to aducal throne on the con
tinent has set the papers to telling
stories about him. One is, that when
commanding the Galatea he called
in plain clothes on an admiral; who
rebuked him with the stiff greeting:
q should have been very happy to
receive your royal highness on any
other occasion, but unhappily at this
moment am expecting visit
from the captain Of the Galatea .
The duke went back to his ship and
put on his uniform, Another story
is, that when travelling in Canada he
had gu de who had served his
brother, and who remarked enc day:
1.-The Prince of Wales gave lie a
splendid gold watch, sir" "Indeed"
said the duke, that's more than he
ever did for me.

In Illinois there is an old law on
the statute books to the effect that
in criminal cases the jury is Judge OF
the law as well as the facts" Though
not often quoted, once in while u
lawyer with a desperate case makes
use of it. In one case the judge in
structed the jury that it was to judge
of the law AS well as the facts, but
added that it was not to judge of the
law unless it was fully satisfied that
IL knew more law than the judge.
An outrageous verdict was brought
ia. contrary to all instructions OF tho
court, who felt called upon to rebulo
the jury. At last one old farmer
arose. "Jedge.n said he, weren't

lacts?" Certainly" was the re-
sponse; but | told you not TO judge

rradition's Power Visible in All Grades
Of Old World Social Lie.


In addressing his faithful Branden-
burgers on the occasion Of tho OPEN
ing of their provincial diet recently,
Emperor William laid stress on the
important part which tradition plays
in monarchical states, and the New
York Tribune thinks that, although
he dwelt more especially on the in
fuence which it exercises on the re-
iations of nation toward the dy-
nasty that has rrlcd over it for many
centuries, yet it cannot be denied
that it pervades the entire social life
eli the old world. Nor is its influence
confined, as might be supposed. to
the classes. Indeed, it Is just as
potent with the masses, fact read
lily comprehensive when it il borne
in mind that people on the other side
ef the Atlantic are, as rule, con-
tent with their social status. The
yeoman farmer takes pride in tho
fact that his ancestors TOR hundreds
of years have been yeoman farmers
like himself, and educstes his chill
dren 10 live up to the traditions OF
their forefathers. There are peas
Lnts in England, Germany aud in
Brittany who can trace their descent
back to the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, and who have sufficient
sense of dignity to prefer to be at
the head of the yeoman rather uhan
at tail end of the aristocracy. In
the same way the retail and whole
sale traders in Europe, even in such
republican countries as Switzerland
and France, take an honest pride in
the fact that their forefathers were
traders like themselves, and it is the
traditions of their ancestors which
constitute the principal incentive
for preserving untarnished by any
failure or commercial dishonor the
good name which they have inherited.
In France the lawyers in particular
are fond OF pointing ont how their
fathers and fathers fathers had been
honored members of the nngistracy
and of the bar. and they, too, strive
| to live up to the traditions OF what
is known in the Gallo tongue as the

JAPANESE ART,
As Seen in The Exhibit mt the Chi

The Significance of the Japanese de
partment Of the worlds fair at Chi
cago lies in the fact that here for the
first time has the policy of sclf-develop-
ment in modern Oriental art an oppor-
tunity of iustifying itself by results,
however immature. BY its promoters
were the government plans for this ex-
hibition drafted and superintendent: by
its professors and pupils We're the most
important of the detached works and
all of the decorations executed, and
through its influence has the prevailing
character of natiye and original de-
sign been throughout stimulated.
1t is well understood by the authori-
ties that .lapan's future position in the
worlds art cannot be established by
throwing away her special gifts of pure
and delicate design in the quiXote de-
sire to compete with France and Amer
lea in the field of realistic oil painting.
Neither can she fall back listleSsly upon
the fame of her past achievements.
She must grapple with living problems.
She assumes that in her art courses sap
enough for new possibilities. While at
Vienna, ut Paris and Mt Philadelphia
her triumphs were largely in her loan
collections of antiques and modern re

has she deliberately dared to be original

Who are really so devoted,
That hene'er their wives are absent
they are lonesome and forlorni
