Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition
but also, by artificial means. from those
great forces OF nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. AS n natural conSe-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition. and his growth was the alb
normal growth of plant abnormally
raised in dollhouse. When, therefore,

Waves to disappear.
QUEEN ELlZABETH'S FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Inordinateiy
Fond of Fine Dress.

Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrously and most inappropriately
Neutrality-suspicious. with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and SO heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue Of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim feminlnity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men. but no
thoughtful feminine) observer can
doubt that a vain man is vainer than
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, judging from her portraits.
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels, and it was her
habit IN public to pull her rings Off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again. moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration Of
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due d'Anjou, who was at one time one
of her sutors, had been told what o
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy who dared
the superstitious terrors of her own
conscience in her high handed and i'm
pudent treatment OF the bishops, whose
interest In methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and In
telligent, entirely unhampered by any
squeamish feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
ter,stic of cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed. IL one observe
closely one win notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always q
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts Of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded IN
this respect will hardly bear reading
by us sensitive folk acknowledgement

From the st Adams Messenger
Some newspapers are very Indignant
these day because certain contempt
raries have discussed and are dis.
cussiug various propositions for a
change in existing conditions IN inns
state. 1t is denounced as "libellng
n grand old commonwealth and all
that kind Of thing. Some newspapers
have the face to admit that whole.
some criticism is good thing and
that an intelligent survey of public
institutions and manners s-er'all
right-er.of course but 1T mustn't ne
applied to anything in Vermont, you
know. Any criticism of anything 10
Vermont is treason. ANY honest
endeavor to point out weak spot and
suggest its Strengthening is not COCO
husbandry it is vilitication. Any
well-intentioual critical reyIe" or
Vermont affairs is not Legitimate pub
licity it is sationalism, pesslmism,
and Heaven knows what else. No man
can show his love for the state by
irving to ioterest his fellows in a
study OF her condition. her strength,
her weakness, her necessities, her
prospects. She must simply be IDOL
lied end worshipped as one sublime
apotheosis of perfection. That's the
only way to show loyalty IN this state.
When newspaper suggests that tbs
law is Ineffective and that Law wholly
bad. another law needed at all. it is
an agitator. Down with it! Then the
critics read metropolitan paper
learn how the same ideas are ahoat
in the great Empire state admire the
Independence of Governor Odell who
has sand enough to veto bad legisla'
tion-and forget I'll about Vermont
All these propositions for changes
and the reEspsper discussion of them
appear to be wholly consistent with
progressive citizenship everywhere
else except iu Vermont. New York
may discuss liquor legislation, Massa-
chusetts, the death penalty, Connecti'
cut, reform in legislative representa-
tion, and 50 on down through the
list-but Vermont never. Vermont
