One thing is to be said of recent
wars. They have stimulated geograph-
ical knowledge amazingly. Two years
ago how many of us had more than a
vague and fragmentary idea about
places in the Philippines, South Africa

who ever thought Of looking up on the

One OF the most striking peculiarities
OF the attendance in the public schools
of Manila is the great excess of boys
over girls, this being true of the high
schools as well as of those of lower
grade. 1t is a manifestation of the
local belief that, while education may
be desirable for boys, it is of little use
for the girls. All they need to know
is their catechism. This disparity in
the school attendance of the sexes
may be lessened, however, before the
next school term, as the authorities
are planning for a system of compul-
sorry attendance.

Murdered R01er.

"A brIeI SKetCU OF the LIfe OF the
Murdered Ruler.
King Humbert's full name was Uemberto
Renter Charles Emmanuel Jean Marie Fer
dinand Eugene. He was born at Turin on
March IA, 1874. He was the son of Victor
Emmanuel H., who died on January 9,
1878, and of Queen Adelaide. who was be-
fore her marriage arhcduchess of Austria.
He succeeded to the throne upon the death
of his father. He was married to Princess
Helene of Montenegro in Rome on April
,22, 1865.
Once before his majesty was attacked by
an assassin. On November II, 1873, short

sword and wounded the man. Members of
the royal suite came to his assistance, but
not until one of them was severely wound
ed was the would-be murderer secured.
King Humbert's reign has been marked
more for his ability to keep his people knit
together than for any extraordinary actiy-
1ty he has shown in the affairs of the ma
tons of Europe. Most of the historians of
modern affairs contend that Italy's stabil-
lty since 1861, when Victor Emmanuel was
hrst saluted king, has been due to the
sagacity of her ministers rather than to
the greatness of either Humbert or his
father. But it is memorable that even
When Humbert assembled the throne the
army and navy of his country were as
nothing, his people were impoverished
roads were unbuilt and the nation had a
earth.
The triple alliance, with its
ments OF ready armies and equipped navy,
mas flourished under his rule, and his peo-
pie nave remained loyal to him, in spite
OF the scandals which shook, in turn, eyery

1taly's New King and Queen.
V1ttorio Emmanuel Fernandino Maria
Gennaro, who succeeds his father to the
throne of Italy, was the only son of King
Humbert. He was born November II, 1859
and has the reputation of being a, liberal
scholarly and soldierly man. He is a gen
eral in the Italian army, and a patron of
art and literature. He is a chevalier of
Ine Oroer OF the Golden Fleece and a
Knight of the Garter.
His wife, Italy's new queen, was Prin-
cess Helena, one of the seven daughters of
frlnce Nicolas, the ruler of the little prin-
cipality of Montenegro. She was born in
the royal palace in Cettinje in 1879. With
her sisters, she inherited the superb dark
beauty OF her mother, the daughter of a
Montenegrin nobleman. She has been most
carefully reared by tutors and goyernesses
and Is not only admirable in all the arts and
graces of European courts, but is well
versed IN the play of politics and in every
way Quallled to succeed even so lovely a
queen as Margherita of Italy. The MIN
tials of Prince Vittorio and Princess Helena
were celebrated in Rome October "a. 1895
with all the pomp and circumstance usual
on such occasions.
