If the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence in America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
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 caro- as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. AS natural consc-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was the ab-
normal growth Of plant abnormally
raised in dollhouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection Of slavery had been withdrawn,
the direst wretchedness and suffering
followed.

QUEEN ELlZABETH'S FAULTS
She Was Very vain and Inordinntely
Fond of Fine Dress.

Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as u more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful. only lu-
dlcrously and most inappropriately
magnifcent-laden 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 femlninity 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 vain man Is vainer than II
vain woman.
Ellzabeth's hands were her especiai
pride, and, judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels, and 1t 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 d'Anjou, who was at one time one
Of her suitors, had been told what
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 tcrrors of her own
conscience In her high handed and I'M
pudent treatment of the bishop, whose
interest I'm methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and In
telligent, entirely unhampcred by any
squeamish feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. Is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristic Of cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented, Indeed, If one observe
closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always n
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded III

The name of France is derived from
the Franci or Franks, people of Ger
many who seized that part of the
country nearest the Rhine and settled
there. Later on they subdued Paris
and made that the royal seat of their
Increasing empire.
The origin of other geographical
names is Interesting and Will serve to
epllghten us when we read OF, for In

is said to be derived from Phnni-

Portugal obtained its name from Por-
to, the haven or port where the Gauls
landed their stores. This is Oporto,
called by the Portuguese y Porto the
porO. The town was given as dowry
to Teresa when she married Henry de
Lorraine, who styled himself Earl OF
Portugal because the place was known
as the portus Gallorum (the port of the
Gnuls). The name was finally extend

Russia took It's denomination from
the RossI, or Russi, a people of the
south of Russia, who possessed them
selves of the country In the declining
days Of the Greek empire. Being the
predominant inhabitants, they imposed
their name on all the rest.

Hi. first Bu.,ne.. venture.

An American capitalist who has
made fortune running far into the

business venture and how he saddened

fond of frequenting public salesroom
near his home where all sorts of bar
gains were offered:
One day | noticed several boxes of
soap of n certain brand which I had
often been sent 20 buy Mt the corner
grocery. I thought TO myself, "That

and received n promise from the man
In charge to buy as much of the soap

The Book Agent Got One That
Wasn't Intended For Him.
There Is n farmer living just north
of Evanston and n book agent some-
where I'm the cosmopolitan desert Of
Chicago each OF whom feels that he Is
a victim Of cruel circumstance.
Last week the farmer had note
from a nephew to say that the boy
would visit the farm on Thursday.
Uncle and nephew had not met for fif-
teen years. and the old man drove to
the station In his most uncomfortable
,oat that he might welcome his sisters
child. But the young man failed to
arrive. After waiting till the last pas
senger had disappeared the old man
drove away, disappointed.
The book agent entered into the dra-
matis persona early the next morning.
Looking over the top rail of o. barn
yard gate. he called. Hello, unclev'
The book agent never got such re-
ception before In all his life. The farm
er flung the gate wide open, seized the
agents hand and pressed n whlskered
kiss on the ironclad cheek.
"Say, this must be heaven" mur-
INJURED the agent. following the farmer
into the house and explaining that ev-
erybody ut home was as well as could
be expected Not till the agent was
full of n boiled dinner and attempted
to sell book did the farmer begin to
see dim light. Charged with imper-
sonatlng the missing nephew. the
agent explained that he greeted all
elderly strangers as "uncle;" that he
even had few almost real ones In
South Clark street In Chicago.
When last seen by the farmer. the
agent was still running. and when the
real nephew does come he may find an
