the protection which noble man extends
to the woman of his choice; but it is
equally true that the woman whose abil-

world prefers labor, even of an unsexing

which self-respect is concerned. The

WILHELMINA AND THE KAISER,
Emperor william informed His Presence
is Not Desired at the Coronation


Thanks to the action of Emperor Will
liam III inviting himself to the coronation
of young Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland.
in September next the Dutch government
has decided that there are to be no foreign
royalties present and no special emphasis
from foreign powers. so that President
Mckinley will not be called upon to ar-
point a special ambassador to represent
the United States on that occasion, as
had been announced. The Dutch have
always been exceedingly apDrehensive of
German designs upon their country and
upon their colonies, Il jealousy which. it
may be added. is shared by France, which
naturally would object to ner hereditary
enemy securing possession of the unri-
vailed harbors, the ports. the colonies and
the trade of the Netherlands.
When Emperor William. therefore. an
nounced his intention of being at the cere-
mony, and actually went SO far as the
hire of one of the grandest palaces at The
Hague for the occasion, the Dutch at
once realized that. if present, he would
overshadow everybody else at the cere-
mony, and. assuming a raternal role to-
ward the young Queen: would present
protector if not as her suzerain. 1t was
necessary. therefore. to take the bull by
the horns and to stop the matter at once.
So the young Queen has, in the sweetest
manner possible. addressed letters to En-
peror William. to Queen Victoria. who
had designated the"Prince and Princess
of Wales to represent her. and to other
foreign courts and governments request
ing them neither to go to the trouble of
coming themselves nor of sending special
representatives. inaSmuch as in accord
ance with the wishes of her subjects she
had decided that the ceremony was to be
conducted on the most simple scale. just
like the coronation of her father and was
to be purely and excessively national
affair.
This snub to the Kaiser inflicted by the
girl Queen. who is known to cordially dis
like him. dislike so pronounced that she
resolutely declines to make use of the
German language, although it is that of
her mother. has the effect of cutting
away the ground from under Williams
feet in this affair, and he cannot COM
plain. since the Queen is merely following
the example of the Car. who at the time
of his coronation expressly stipulated that
no foreign ruler should be present. as he
wished to alone receive on that solemn
occasion the homage of his subjects with
out being called upon to share it with any
other potentatc.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
Graf.

A Matrim onial Snae.

l call it matrimonial snag because
the matrimonial bark is always going to
Ipieces OH it, 1t does mischief to other
things, interferes with the smooth cur
mars many close intimacy. But it is
to the bark III which man and his wife
have been launched together that it does
the greatest harm.
Now this snag in itself is not formdu-
BILE affair. 1t is made up simply of two
diverse opinions about resting. Yet no
jagged reef is more dangerous, and all
those who cannot sail over it must inev-
| itably be wrecked.
"A man, for instance, has worked all
day out-of-doors-in the fields maybe.
He has had the air and the sun, and
| converse with men of his kind. Resting
to him means coming home, stretching
out his limbs and breathing in domestic
peace.
The woman, however, has been in all

ciplining children; seeing no one, talking

change of scene, the bringing in of out
side interests. or more sympathetic and
enllvenlng intercourse with her husband.
He, however, cannot understand this
"You are restless" he says to her, "dis-
contented. But you cannot find anything
better than this, wherever you 20. Take
my word for it; l have. seen them all.''
And he folds his hands and puffs ut his
pipe, and basks in the quiet contentment
of a soul that has been satisfied
1t is the same thing when a man goes
down town all day and leaves the woman
at home: His idea of resting is cheer

gay and responsive, as when she received

to go to sleep with the children at 6
O'clock" many wife signs. But it is
just the time my husband likes me to he
at my best. 1t bothers him to have me
tired. and he has such different ideas of
resting from mine"
Duties, on the other hand, may have
| called the woman out of doors all day.
and duties may have kept the man in an
| Office. Then it may rest him to 70 out
at night. He may crave amusement and
diversion, some entertainment for the
mind: These distract his thoughts and
rest his brain, and make him fresher for
the morrow's work. -"
