forced the contest between the native

force OF her character rather than the
quality Of her mind Military. rather
than diplomatic, she missed by q cen
fury the day Of battling spearmen.
Their descendants did not rally el-
fectually in her defense. She took
her deposition in spirit that was
neither OF feeble resignation nor OF
general embitterment. Though she
laid her defeat to the Entertainments
of the missionary influence, she con

cold easily, in spite OF your vigorous
denial of the possibility"
Let as first make sure what we're
talking about "A cold" Simple
enough. What is it? Here is our
conception of cory2a, commonly called
a head cold: Acute Inflammation of
the lining Of the nasal cavity char
acteFized by chilliness al onset. slight
fever. general malaise, perhaps some
pain or rawness felt in the head
aches IN legs or back, stuffiness and
waterv running at the nose, this thin,
clear discharge changing after day

ing and perhaps hawking and splitting

ment would be futile His cold" is
perhaps just what he describes and
nothing more. 1t is gone and forgot
ten in an hour or two, or as soon as
/ the customary environment is re-
gained. He takes cold and gets well
again with remarkable CELEBRITY so
quickly, in fact, that he doesn't be-

There is no sense in denying that
his stuffy nose and the running at the
nose are directly produced by the
4 factors he mentions, But we do most
volubly deny that he has acquired any
disease or illness, be it coryza or any
thing else, His peculiar discomfort

Legislating Against Queens.

The constitution Of the new Polish
state that is designed as one Of the
measures to come out Of the readjUst-
ment of European territory provides
for an Independent constitutional state
with an hereditary monarch. In most
respects the constitution makes the
proposed country parliamentary
kingdom, not as self governing as
republic but considerably more self
governing than an autocracy like Ger
many. Austria or Turkey.
There is one ir0nciad provision,
however. that is interesting The king
may not marry without the consent Of
the diet If he disobeys this law he
f0rfeits his crown. He doesn't exactly
have 10 accept a queen picked for him
hy someone else. He has freedom OF
selection so long as his selection is
agreeable 60 parliament, which rather
infringes on a right that man or wom-
an usually reserves to himself.
This little prohibition, of course, is
not new TO kingdoms. 1t is one OF the
restrictions that law or custom places
on a monarch 1t is not an evil meas
ure either when kings are taken into
consideration for kings are oftentimes
loss willy than persons Of royal blood
and kings and queens alike sometimes
bring whole nations into difficulties
by their matrim~aial alliances. Ger
many has been perhaps the most sue
cesslul Of diplomatic countries in pro-
noting its ambitions through the mat
rimonial altar.
Perhaps i is a custom that viii pass

great manf institutions in republics
monarchies and autocracies alike are
