i| RECENT PORTRAIT OF VICTORIA.
sion and training were of the most careful,
for while It would have been wild fancy
indeed that had predicted such career as
she WAS actually destined TO fill, there be
ing at that time several lives between her
and the throne, her father and mother, her
GRANDMOTHER, the dowager Duchess of Co
burg, also grandmother of the Prince Albert
who was to be prince consort of England s
qneen, and indeed George ~ of England
himself. regarded her rs very likely to be
the sovereign of England before her death
Prince Albert, when ne courted Victoria
years afterward, said to her that he had
been told from childhood that one day he
was to marry the queen of England, and
she was TO be the queen.
The Duke of Kent, who was the fourth OF
seven dissolute SONS born to King George
III, died when Victoria was yet an infant,
leaving behind him an enormous indebted
ness. This was due not only TO his extrav
ngRnt way of living, but also to the fact
that his royal father adopted the utmost
parsimony in dealing with him At one
time the duke was sent abroad with an al
lowance of but 20 a week, and on another
0ccason all his travelling expenses were put
into the hands of the captain on whose ship
be sailed 1t WAS this state of affairs that
caused the widowed duchess to live with
great simplcity-a mode of life indeed that
doubtless had great deal to do with the
sterling character Of Victoria when she as
cended the throne.

THE NEW NATION.

The Commonwealth of Australia which
began its career as a nation with the
beginning Of the new century. COM

mania. New Zealand for the present
remains outside. though it will doubt
less soon be united with the Common
wealth. The new nation thus has a
territorial area more than three times
as large as that of the United States
was century ago, and nearly five
siNths as large as the area Of our en-
tire present domain, including out
lying possessions. Its population is
only 3,Il1130, or about two-thirds of
ours hundred years ago. 1t is, how
ever increasing somewhat more rapid

of the present century to exceed 100.-

bear in mind that. although it is the

The Danger Of LUXURY.

Mems Club.
The chief dangers of perversiOn
cluster about money. 1t is not pleas
ant sight to see in the first days of the
century two senators seated in the
national Senate, one once repudiated
by the very body to which he has re-
turned and the other by the courts
of his own state. New York city has
drunk its cup of lies and shame until
it can no longer endure it, and now
it is casting it aside. There is nc
doubt but the immense prosperity OF
the country will so flood it with money
that luxury will become almost inevi

bring forth corruption.
