cal attendants. She took very little
part in court functions, devoting her
self whenever her malady permitted

She was a great sympathizer with the
Salvation Army, whose operations in
Scandinavia she followed with intense
interest
She was also a strong advocate of
temperance.

cess of Nassau and was married at
Wiesbaden to the late King Oscar II
in June, 1857. The royal couple cele-
brated their golden wedding anniver-
sary in 1907, just six months before

most of which, it is understood, will
go to her younger son, Oscar, who
renowned his rights to the throne in
order to marry Miss Ebba Munk his
mothers maid of honor. This marriage
was the cause of the only difference
which ever arose between King Os-
car II and Queen Sophia, the latter

Mrs. Merrill is remarkably active

Mrs. Merrill is fond of motoring
and was the oldest person to ever sign
the register in the Poland Spring
House, this being on the occasion Of
her visit there as a guest of Hiram
Kicker last summer. She is able to
read and write and takes this form of

more good teachers of modern Ian
guages in the schools of the country

report, expresses the belief that on
the whole modern language instruc-

is as good as that abroad, in proper
ton to the time allowed. He suggests
that cities should grant leave with half
pay to modern language teachers, who
would go to the expense of studying
abroad
