When it was said to the woman: aIn
sorrow shalt thou bring forth chill

pronounced, but the thrill of Joy felt
by every Mother when she clasps to

trary. True, dangers Turk in the
pathway of the Expectant Mother
and should be avoided.

A PLUTOCRACY.
Florence was Governed by One for
Three Centuries.


From Answers.
The government of Florence during the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles. A. D.. though nominally an oil
garchical republic, was in actual fact, a
plutocracy under the diplomatic control of
the Medicis. Commercial interests con-
stltuted the very nerve and snew of the
Florentine power. and accordingly 1t was
the superiority OF the Medical bank at this
period, and its inf fence over all European
finance, which confirmed the supremacy Of
that family. All the various industries OF
Florence, which had formerly Identified
themselves with q clques or guilds, now
depended for their prosperity upon the
financial administration OF one man. The
famous Lorenzo de Medici is said to have
saved his bank from insolvency IN 1873 by
applying the state funds, and he Is de-
Tended by historians on the ground that
as he had often employed his own money
for state purposes. II was only fair that
the state should support him in his emer-
gcncy. There rs no doubt that Lorenzo con-
sidered the solvency Of his bank TO be in
eXtricably bound up with the welfare OF
Florence. No purer example OF plutocracy
than this can be found IN history. and its
most remarkable feature was perhaps. It's
long-conunued prosperity.
