Heretofore IL has been almost as
easy a matter to obtain a divorce in

new law * that requiring a bona fide

cause, she said, her father interfered
with her too much.
An Ideal woman-Hence an Ideal
Queen.

Those who have scanned the press
reports from London intent on learn
ing the condition of the king, cannot
but be impressed with the touching
stories of the patience and fortitude
of Queen Alexandra. Though the
English people have suffered under
the strain incident to the critical i'll
ness of their king who was struck
down on the steps to the throne,
none of them feels so keenly the
shock and is more sorely oppressed
than the queen, yet she shows it less.
Patiently she has maintained her po-
sition nearest the bed of the stricken
monarch and ministered unto his
wants. She has by her fortitude
given him much needed encourage
ment, and the superb womanlv
strength she has displayed has been
one of the most potent influences no
doubt in tiding the king over the
crisis.
The queen is a great favorite with
the people of the British empire,
whose love for her is enhanced by
her exemplary courage in this hour
of trial, and in their prayers for the
kings recovery. Queen Alexandra is
not forgotten.

Lord sncnccr.. n.rrnin.

Lord Spencer OF Althorp. one of the
greatest of book collectors, was at
home only In his own field. One day
In browsing about Bond street, Lon
don. he went into the shop of dealer
In brlc-a-brac. Tho dealer, who knew
him by sight said persuasively:
Here is fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have, and
you shall have 1t very cheap-only 2
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought 1t and took
1t home and set II In high place. One
day II connoisseur of china paid him
visit. and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
"What did you give for itl' asked
the connoisseur
1.-TWO gulneas." answered Spencer
rather proudly.
'Hmf said the connoisseur. AT
that price the marmalade should have
beon included"
"What do you meanf"
"Why. that precious piece of yours ID
nothing more nor less than n shilling
mnrmaladc pot with n green thistle
painted on IT,"

"After two years of life in the Quar-
tier Latin" says Charles Theodore
Murray, 'where ! got my studies of
French character for Mile. Fou-

the worst place in the world TO send
young man or woman If you enter
tain any hope of meeting him or her
In heaven.
II have had much experience in the
role of journalist and have investi-
gated the slums of London and Liv-
erpool, know the 'Tenderloin' of New
York and the attractions ut Berlin
and Vienna, but for downright Satan
ic ingenuity of viciousness and gilt
edged debauchery you must so TO the
QUARTER Latin, for 1t is here that i'm
morality is accepted rs n virtue. and
real virtue has no line of demareation
to distinguish it from immortality.
mo young man or young woman can
survive such environment untarnished,
and many are ruined FOR life. That
which, like London slums, Is repulsive
Is not dangerous 1t is attractive vice,
sugar coated immortality. which is
dangerous, and that is what young
men and women find in the Quarter
Latin"

The sense of touch Is the simplest
but at the same time one OF the most
important special senses of the human
organism. 1t is possessed by nearly
all portions of the general surface OF
the body, but finds its highest develop
ment In the hands.
The true skin contains multitudes of
nerve filaments arranged In rows Of
papillm about one-hundredth of an
inch In length. 1t Is estimated that
there are 10000 Of these papilln in
square inch of the palmar surface of
the hand. The cuticle is absolutely es-
sential to the sensation Of touch, for
when the true skin Is laid bare by n
burn or blister the only feeling that II
experiences from contact Is one OF
shields the nerve flament from direct
contact with external objects. Touch
IL most delicate at the tips Of the fin
gers. and the hand is one of the most
important organs.
Button declares that with fingers
twice as numerous and twice as long
we would become proportionately
wiser. Galen, however, taught that
man Is the wisest OF animals, not be-
cause he possesses the hand, but be-
cause he is the wisest and understands
Its use the hand has been given to him,
for his mind, not his hand, has taught
him the arts.
