A SENSIBLE PRINCESS.

Princess Henriette of Sleswick- Hol.
stein, aunt OF the reigning Duke OF
Sleswick- Holstein and his sister, the
German empress. is the wife of Profess
or Won Esmarch of Kiel and an ex.
ceedingly happy woman.
Professor Won Esmarch is the most
celebrated surgeon in Germany and has
proved himself capable of making the
princess who shares his life a very
happy woman. so that she has nothing
TO regret, though for many years she
had much to suffer for his sake
Princess Henriette had the misfortune
to belong to a poor though princely
house, and the fact that her brother.
Prince Christian. had married daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria probably con-
firmed her family in the idea that Tn
less the princesses OF Sleswick- Holsteln
married in their own rank they should
live and die in dignified spinsterhood.
These ideas did not at all coincide with
the inclinations of Princess Henriette.
and in 1872 she, having then reached the
age Of thirty-nine. decided on going her
own way and marrying Professor Won
Esmarch. Her marriage caused a com.
plete estrangement between herself and
her sister. the late Princess Amelie OF
would not even speak to her.
The German emperor has a decided
liking and respect for his wife's aunt
and makes a point of going to see her
whenever he visits Kiel.

THE LOT OF CHINESE GIRLS.

In no part of China is the future life
of girl matter in which she Is con-
suited. Infanticide is allowed all over
China, and no father ever counts his
girls as anything worth mentioning.
The girls very names bear witness to
this. "One Too Many" "Unwecome
Bud" are very common epithets. One
old woman boasted she never had
daughters" and this was explained by
the fact that she had strangled Ave
baby girls, and all her neighbors ad-
mired her for doing so.
This feeling is very strong among
poorer townsfolk. III they permit a
daughter to live, ii is generally with a

all seems very trivial TO you. but TO me
il served as another Illustration OF the
class line. The lecturer would not have
felt at all embarrassed in the presence
OF an audience of children OF her own
sort and she was only afraid of these
girls because she was conscious that
she did not understand them. AS a
matter of fact. they understood her a
