lily by Her interpretation.

London, March 5.-AlthOugh the English
royal family rarely pay any attention to
press accounts OF themselves or their
doings. it is said that Queen Alexandra.
through Miss Knollys. has signiied q
wish that Prince Edward of Wales should
not be mentioned in the papers as Prince
Eddie AS a matter of fact, though ii Is
popularity supposed that he is thus known
In the royal family, that Is not the case.
He is always called David by his
mother. and. indeed. by all his relatives;
never Eddie. as that name is almost
sacred in the royal family, and is not
likely to be bestowed upon any living
prince. It was the favOrite name Of the
Queen for the late Duke OF Clarence, and
as such he was always addressed. So
though Eddie would be the natural dimin-
utive of Edward, Queen Victoria always
called her great-grandson David or
Davie, and as such he has been since
known TO his intimates at home and at
college.
Little Prince Albert rejoiees in the ex-
traordinary nickname of Lobster" He
was christened that when he went to
Osborne. on account of the effect the sea
air had upon his extremely fair skin. His
comrades having small regard for his
dignity as a grandson of the King. called
him Lobster at once, and it has stuck
to him. as sehoolboy nicknames do.

SUFFRAGE IN QUAINT BOOK
Daughter of a Savant Wrote Five
Hundred Years Ago.
sCity of Ladies'" Tells How Easy Ii
Would he for Girls to Follow
Masculine Pursuits.

Paris, March Sin a book called the
city of Ladies" published just 500 years
ago. the ground theory of the suffragettes.
the equality of men and women, was put
forward with the same vigor as to-day.
The authoress. a certain Christine de
Pisan. the daughter of a savant, writes;
'Tf it were only the practice to send
young girls to school and teach them the
sciences just as boys are taught they
would learn as quickly and completely
as they" And she claims the same treat
ment in respect to all matters of daily
life.
She paints the dependence and inexpe-
rience of single women in moving terms
and says that they mostly cover to-
gether. waiIng and weeping. without any
means of defense like some poor dog
which retlres to corner and let's all the
first spring over him. Christine de Pisan
is particularly severe on the custom Of
many married men of not explaining their
business affairs and talking these over
with their wives. and even goes so far as
to demand that the latter should be so
versed in their husbands occupations,
whether those of officials. merchants, or
artisans. that they may be ready and able
TO represent them in their absence if nee
essary.
Reasoning from such premises. the suf-
fragette authoress of FIVE hundred years
ago concludes that every chatelaine or
mistress of castle ought to understand
ali about the art Of defense and offense.
The whole tenor of the book is a demand
for the training Of female youth to indie
pendence and the opening TO them of
new fields of activity.
