for the coveted maiden. As his request,

presented him with a bow and arrow
The youth repaired 10 the maiden and
gave her garland OF green leaves inter

she accepted by placing the wreath upon

symbol OF maidenhOOd-a crown of flowers
always worn in public.
AS a bride, the next day her mother,
in feigned reproof, tore the virgin gar

of England in not only building a big
navy. but also establishing coaling sta
tions all over the globe, and feel them
selves bound TO ''go and do likewise.
As one senator put II TO me, We have
entered upon the age of coal. The age
Of wind has passed. We must emulate
the example of England, and have big
Navy and coaling stations all over the
world, if we want 10 extend our COM
merce."
Every senator that interviewed had a
good word for Great Britain. Especially
was this the case with the members of
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs;
and outside the charmed circle of this
committee, there were the kndest express
sons from Mr.. Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire in the East, to Mr.. Shoup of Idaho,
in the West.
Senator George Gray of Delaware one
of the most distinguished lawyers and
legislators of the Senate, and a possible
candidate for the Presidency on the DEM
ocratic ticket who is also a member of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs,
stated 10 me some weeks ago his high
appreciation of England's efforts in our
behalf against a European alliance, and
reiterated his position in these words on
ly a day or two ago:
Zone of the causes for congra tulatiOn
in the present war is the fact that we
are drifting toward an Anglo-American
alliance. We have the good will of Great
Britain. While the latter country has not
identified herself in so many words with
our side she has undoubtedly exercised
great influence in preventing a European
coalition. for holy alliance without her
help could not make much headway.
For large part of this good feeling
in the present crisis we are indebted to
Mr.. Bayard. our former minister to Great
Britain His tact and good sense had
much to do in cementing the bonds of
friendship between the two countries. It
is no small thing to have the two great
est nations of Christendom in sympathy
and accord with one another, and the
Spanish war, if 1t accomplishes nothing
else, will not have been fought in vain
should 1t bring the two English-speaking
countries in the closest bonds of brother
hood. thus widening the sphere of action
of the new diplomacy"
I cannot refrain. in closing this ar
ticle. from giving an extract from one
of Macaulays ESSAYS. 1t throws great
light on the trend of events and foreshad-
ows the future of Spain, thus forming the
reverse to the picture of an Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance. / perhaps ought TO say that
my attention was called to this particular
essay by one of the most distinguished
diplomats in Washington. In comment
ing on Lord Mahons History of the
Spanish Succession" Maeaulay utters
these prophetic words In regard to Spain:
But how art thou fallen. o Lucifer,
son of the morning! Hows art thou cut
down to the ground that didst weaken the
nations!
'All the causes of the decay of Spain
resolve themselves into one cause-bad
government.
THE times of refreshing came to all
neighboring countries. One people alone
remained, like the fleece of the Hebrew
warrior, dry in the midst of the benign
ant fertilizing dew While other nations
were putting away childish things the

derstood as a child

Parents and Teachers

The Parents & Teachers League held its first meeting yesterday afternoon in the High school build ing, opening with an attendance of about thirty.
 After prayer by Professor Hafford, MT. Otis read an interesting and instructive paper on food values. pointing out the useful constituents of various common foods, aud the proportion of waste in each.
 Professor Haiford followed with a few words on the importance of proper food in child rearing. .shen took up his subject of developing the sense of responsibility in chil- dren, which he handled in a practi- cal and interesting manner. He closed by inviting questions aud free discussion on definite matters of the school management not wholly understood or approved of by parents. Information regarding few details was asked for aud satis- factorily given.
 A short business meeting followed, resulting in the election of MT. Otis as president, Miss White as secretary. and Mrs. Adams, Professor Hafford and Miss Fleming, as con- mittee on program.
 The constitution was then signed by majority of those present, and the League then adjourned to meet four weeks hence, on April the first.
