a cloth gown is a horror. it has been

THE ENGLISH QUEEN.

Queen Alexandra has decided TO &C
cupy the same sort of relationship to-
ward the royal borough that was held
throughout a generation by the late
sovereign. In other words, she finds
it necessary to observe a certain
alOofness so far as the town is con-
cerned, and her attitude toward the
burgesses and their interests is by no
means of the intimate kind that may
be found at Sandringham.
At Windsor, her majesty is par ex-
cellence the royal consort, and not
merely the gracious lady, and the
castle is a state palace rather than a
homely retreat from the cares of
sovereignty. Thus in her wanderings
about the highways and byways of
Berks and Bucks the queen receives
the respectful salutations of the peo-
pie with the gracious stateliness OF
manner which she is accustomed to as
sumo in the streets of the metropolis,
and it is not her intention to devote
herself to those works of personal
benevolence which are in keeping with
her position elsewhere as the Lady
Bountiful of a country home.
1t is as well that the distinction
should be recognized by the people at
large, because otherwise the queen
might suffer in the affections of her
humber neighbors if they do not
think quietly and sensibly over the es-
sential conditions of the life of lady
in the front rank of social distinction
This is the reason why her majesty
does not indulge in walking exercise in
the streets of the royal borough, as
she still does in the lanes of Norfolk
and to still greater extent in the SUI
burbs of Copenhagen. The queen put
in an appearance in the nave of st.
Georges chapel the other day for the
purpose Of hearing a special musical
service which was arranged by Sir
Walter Parratt, and in the course of
her daily drives she has made some in
terested inquiries as to certain points
that have attracted her notice in the
villages around.

can game in the west before coming
to Johns Hopkins. The year before
he was prevented from playing the en-

collarbone and two fractured ribs. The
well-known Paul Dashiel was his cap
tain during these two years.
The cold of winter seldom reaches
such a degree that Prof. Finley is seen
wearing an overcoat or uvershoes. In
this respect he is a strong rival Of the
average Undergraduate, as he seems to
delight in Gefying the elements.
Since he has been incumbent of the
chair of politics at Princeton Dr.. Fin
ley has formed many friendships. He

land and lives in house directly adj
joining the ex-president's home, West
lands. Mr.. Cleveland bulIt this house
about two years ago, and Prof. Finley
was his first tenant. These two friends
have travelled much together, and last
fall they took tbree-weeks' fishing
trip to Stuart, Fla. Between Mrs. Fin
ley and Mrs. Cleveland, also, there
exists the most cordial relations.
Aside from the study of politics Prof.
Finley takes great delight in literature,
and he has had large experience in
this line Of work, having at various
times held positions on McClure's mag
szine and Harpers Weekly. He was
I'd - IN al
ties Record and the Charities Review,
both of which periodicals were found
ed by him. With Richard T. Ely he
was co-author Of Taxation in Ameri-
can States and Cities"
Besides the duties of a professor he
has found time to contribute frequent
ly to various publications. Not long
since a poem written by him appeared
in a well-known magazine, and was
entitled Flowing Time" This poem
was doubtless a Renaissance, for the
author, when a youth living on a west
ern farm, is said to have plowed often,
and sometimes TO have read Horace
with the book tied to the handles of
the pillow. After attending college
for a short time he was compelled to
leave his studies in order to assist In
the duties connected with the farm.
But he had been to college long enough
to acquire taste for the Latin lang
uage, the study Of which he pursued at
home, and become so proficient in the
subject that he read two years work
in six months.
Among the students of Princeton
probably no professor has gained pop
ularity more rapidly than Prof Finley.
The following extract from the Alumni
Weekly will give some idea of the way
in which Prof. Finley is regarded in
Princeton's academic circle: PROF.
Finley has made for himself a place
that is hard to fiji. Not alone in his
classroom work, but especially in his
personal relations with the students
and faculty he has become an unusual.

A MODERN COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
Finley Recently Elected Head of the
College of the City of New York.

| Princeton Letter in New York
Tribune.-John Huston Finley. profess
sor of politics in Princeton university
and president-elect of the college of
the city of New York, is one of the
best examples of the modern all around
college man that can be found Prof.
Finley's name will be longest remem-
bered at Princeton in connection with
the duplicate French Chamber of Dep
uties, which he instituted in addition
to his regular course in politics. The
purpose of such a department was to
give the students more accurate and
practical knowledge of how the origi-
nal Chamber is conducted 1t was the
only thing of the kind that was ever
organized and successfully carried out
in any American college up to this
yea, except a duplicate Of the house
of representatives or the United States,
introduced by Woodrow Wilson while
professor in Johns Hopkins.
The existence Of the chamber arous-
ed such interest in France itself that
one of the leading journals of Paris
wrote to Princeton for picture of the
students in session. The students
were the members and the professor
chamber. The method for diminishing
this body for disorderly conduct is for
the president to put on his hat and
walk out. A laugh was therefore al
ways raised when Prof. Finley would
saunter into the room and lay down his
was easily accessible. There was never
any occasion for resorting to this ex-
pedient, however.
Richly endowed in mental faculties,
the city colleges new president pos
sesses the additional trait of great
physical strength, and he has accom-
plished numerous feats that required
wonderful endurance. Few under
graduates-not to speak of college
presidents-can cover so miles on foot
in single day, yet this is a record
made by Prof Finley in the White
mountains last summer. Frequently
he takes a two-mile run through the
country north of Princeton for more
diversion. While in Porto Rico few
years ago his cross country strolIs
amounted to over 200 miles.
1t was on one Of his customary
walks during his three years profess
sorship in Princeton that Prof. Finley
had a notable experience While
crossing the ice of Stony brook, a
small stream of Revolutionary fame to
the west Of Princeton, he did not
notice an opening in the surface which
the ice cutters had left until he sud-
denly dropped into 10 feet Of water.
No help was at hand, and for a mo
ment the professors plight was des-
perate. Luckily he had a staff by the
aid Of which he was able to keep his
head above water until he could get his
hands on top of the ice; then the fu-
ture college president by sheer physi-
cal strength raised himself much in
creased in weight by wet clothing, to
to the top Of the frozen surface in
safety.

as member of the Johns Hopkins

Pulled crowns in hats are made of it,
and its use extends to screen panels,
music rolls, photograph frames, paper

magazine holders, desk sets and
various other tIinkets.
Women who are handy with

that very much resemble oriental

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Among the valuable new con-
trivances that the housewife will ap-
preciate are:
An automatic cooler for custards,
bland manages and jellies.
A mechanical coffee maker that does
the settling of itself and turns out a
clear, inviting portion.
A little pilot light for lighting a gas
stove and obviating the sudden faring
up and odor so objectionable.
An automatic bread kneader and
dough mixing device; also a handy
contriyance for beating up the raw
material of cakes and puddings.
A self-acting ice mold that rounds
shaved ice into attractive looking
balls to be used about the butter,
salads and other delicate table dishes.
A new invention IN spoons which,
affixed to a boiling pot, will keep the
contents stirred at sufficient intervals
to prevent scorching, thus relieving
the cook of the constant supervision
necessary in boiling cereals, delicate
soups and stews.
Warm your shoes, rubbers, overcoat
and other clothes before putting them
on. 1t is vastly better to warm them
by the stove than to draw upon your
own vital warmth to do so. Particu-
larly is this true of adults, who should
conserve their vitality instead of need
lessly exhausting it.
In order to avoid over-fatigue, the
hostess must study what she will
have, and make her plans in such
way that as much as possible can be
out of the way before the day of the
festivity. She must never make ex-
periments on such an occasion. Let
her reserve new efforts for the privacy
of her own family, when domestic feel
ing will incline every one to treat pos
sible failures charitably. There are al
ways enough attractive items for the
table within the reach of the house
wife to enable her to devise tempt
ing menu without breaking out in an
entirely fresh spot.
