/ THE YOUNGEST SOVEREIGN.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

China. the oldest of nations, is ruled.
IL the expression may be allowed, by
the youngest of sovereigns, boy Of
3. He is a nephew of the late en-
peror, and until his accession bore the
name of Pu-yi, although the royal as
trologers have selected as his official
| title Hsuan-t'ung, which means Gen
eral Proclamation" The boy, says a
writer in the Overland Monthly, is In
delicate health, and the Chinese are
inclined to attribute this to his birth
on the unlucky thirteenth day of the
first moon. In order to escape the
evil Influence as far as possible, it has
been decreed that his birthday shall be
celebrated on the 14th of the month.
Further, he is to be brought up more
hygienically than his predecessor was.
He will have plenty of fresh air, and
will not be expected to appear at the
midnight audienc IS which are the fash
ion at the Chinese court. His first ap-
pearance In public-at his enthrone-
ment--was not a success, for he cried
loudly; and henceforth his father, the
prince regent. will attend all official
functions alone, and will receive digni.
taries of state, and offer up the re-
CURED prayers for snow or rain.
He will also be responsible for plow-
ing the first furrow at the spring fes-
tival at the Temple of Agriculture, for
the worship Of the Lord of Heaven on
the white marble altar of the Temple
of Heaven, and for the Precipitation of
the local deities who watch over the
old city of Picking.
But the little emperor, although re-
lieved from these duties, will not be
| allowed to forget that he is an off
cial baby. He may nc longer liveswith
his own family, or see his parents ex-
cept in the presence of the whole
court. Twenty-four nurses will keep
watch over him, and he has three
wives already, aged 10, II and 10
years, each of whom receives an allow
ance of $400 a month.
The exact meaning of his new name,
"Hsuan-t'ung," is difficult to render in
translation, but the character Hsuan is
considered very fortunate. A certain
emperor of the Ming dynasty called
himself 'Hsuan Te." of Proclamation
of Peace" and the symbol is common
on old Ming pottery.
Optimistic officials read into Hsuan-
t'ung, or General Proclamation" a
reference to the promised constitu-
ton; and it is confidently expected
that this child emperor, when he comes
OF age, will inaugurats new regime
of progress and reform in the govern
ment of China.

LOVE REaNANT.

lWhere'er read In mournful history
How all things crumble at the touch
of time,
And even great deeds. renowned in
mighty rhyme,
snow but as cities buried meath the
sea,
Which, in calm days, men gaze on aw-
fully.
My neart grows heavy; but one
thought sublime
Rises, and Herewith the uplifting
chime
OF morning stars comes back remem-
beringly
Woman, thou art that thought, In
whom I know
That 1 alone gave Time his tyrant
might,
Dropping my foolish lids Of clay too
low,
For. looking up. see great Love. far,
far
Above all changes. like a steadfast
star
Behind the pulsings Of the northern
light.
