some remark about the Votes for Wo-
men agitation in England, the young
lady felt INSPIRED" to take their part
land in few minutes we were quar-
reling-actually quarrelling - about
the suffragettes." The Emperor spoke
of woman's proper sphere being her
home where she ought to look after
her children. He came back to the
subject from time to time. He warn
| ed prince Bernhard" that his guest
might some day break the Schloss
windows. or chain myself on to the
ratings. or stab him with a hatpin,
as a protest against masculine mo-
nopoly of the best things of the
earth" And when he left his Majesty
after giving me another terrible
handgrasp," chaffed the English girl
again with great enjoyment. "Ha,

Pankhurst, ha. ha, She'll knock down

Churchill on the platform! Ho, ha;
be careful Bernhard, what you're do
ing. You've got a terrible firebrand
in your house. Good-by, Miss Furi-
oso!"
But before the time for saying
goodby came the whole party had been
an illustration of the simplicity Of
German life, even in the most exalt-
ed circles-a simplicity which pleas

tily disliked by others.

adorned by flower-filled vases as well
as by exquisite objects of art.
The bathers could enjoy concerts
and theatrical performances as they
bathed. There Is unfortunately every
reason to believe that modesty was
unknown in this luxurious establish
ment. Mixed bathing undoubtedly
was the rule and the inscriptions In
dlcate that the worst excesses made
possible by this practice prevailed.
Modern Paris. with It's fashionable af-
the swimming pool, only feebly APP
proaches the central African standard
OF abandonment.
The dances and other amusements
given at the bath were largely of an
indescribable character, As women
were the dominating sex in Meroe,
man was always the center Of attrac-
tion and the object of pursuit.
How the rule OF woman first became
established in this remote African re-
gion is still a mystery. 1t is suggested
that some women OF a superior race
penetrated the country in very early
times, and the local negro aborlgines,
regarding them as of divine origin,
chose them for rulers.
"The rule of queens" says one of
the investigators, "is no unusual thing
In this part of Africa the position of
the sister-c -consort in Egypt, the right
OF the sisters son to succeed his un-
Gle in the Christian kingdom of Dom
gola, are instances of African 'femin-
ism which can be illustrated more
strikingly among less developed tribes.
The female rulers must have been
capable, but there is no reason to be-
lleve that they were gentle. The carv-
ings on the exterior of the Sun Tenn
pie at Meroe depict the torture and
sacrifice of captlves. In small
chamber attached to the southern
wall of the temple there was found
buried a quantity of jars filled with
charcoal and cremated human re-
mains. A bronze statue represented
a figure twisted into an attitude of
cruel torture.
The monuments found at Meroe de-
pict the gradual passing away of fe-
male rule, although in the latest of
them greater prominence is given to
the queen than would be the case in
other lands.
The religion of these people is very
obscure. The prominence of the lion
god. who may also have been the sun
god suggests cult foreign to the old
Egyptian forms of worship, and yet
the presence of the lions at Philae in
the Temple of Isis shows that some
accommodation had been reached be-
tween the two groups.
The Microbes delighted in jewels and
%-naments and fine raiment The
carved reliefs in the temples show
that the kings and queens and upper
classes advertised their superiority to
manual toll by the length of their
nails. The king and queen wear neck
! laces and pendants, armlets and
bracelets and rings upon their fingers
and in their ears, while the princes are
arrayed in long tunics flowered with
crosses crescents and other designs.
Both the jewelry and pottery found
at Meroe are strikingly beautiful

Patrick Henry. the greatest orator
OF this State, wuB born In Hanover

Henry never received college cdu-
cation. Soon he left off studying and
became a merchant, but in this busi-
hess he failed. When he was NOR

and the affairs OF his country with
the persons who camo bis store. AT
the age OF nineteen Henry wac mar
ried His father and father-in. law
placed him on farm. AS farmer
Henry was unsuccessful. so again nc
became a merchant, and again failed.
Henry WAS at this time an awk-
ward, ungainly young man. His dress
was neglected his manners poor. Ills
appearance was that OF q lazy man d
Everything he undertook TO do proved
n failure; but these failures had been
due to tho fact that he had not yet
turned his attention to that for which
he was suited.
Henry decided to be q lawyer. Hard

famous Parsons case came up in tho
Hanover county. Henry was secured
TO appear as tho peoples champion.
Two years later came the Stamp Act.
The whole country whs aroused. The
members came together In the House
of Burgcsscs. Hcnry's argument was
that England should repeal the Stamp
Act. At the close OF his speech he
said, Caesar had his Brut's: Charles
I. his Cromwell; and George Jill
