It is a well known fact that the Kalser is anxious to show the United States the pick of the German navy, which has formerly been repre- sented in American waters only by small cruisers and gunboats, conveying no idea of the strength of the empire’'s navy, but he is still more anxious that Prince Henry shall leave the navy this fall.

She has asked the teacher what arithmetic les- sons were given for girls of her age, and already put in appearance at two lessons for three-quarters of an hour in rapt at- tention, listening to the lessons with her maid behind her.

BUCHAREST, Roumania, Aug. 1.—"Car. men Sylva” (Queen Elizabeth of Roumii- nia) has been occupying her time recently writing a play founded upon events in the history of Roumania. The story is woven around the adven- tures of a knightly Roumanian Prince. He is wounded in’ battle and taken to the home of a simple countryman, whose only daughter nurses him. The Prince and the countryman’s daughter fall in love, and the Prince gets her father's consent to educate her to occupy the position of a Princess. She is placed in a convent, and while studying there she realizes the distance between her and the Prince. S0 sne takes the veil and becomes a nun. In despair the Prince follows her exam- ple and becomes a monk. The royal moral is plain. It is that mar- riage between peasants and Princes are to all right-minded persons against na- ture, ————— . English Girl Professor. PARIS, Aug.

The Duke of Wellington has brought for- | ward an array of statisties to prove that | the classes from which Tommy Atkins is in the main recruited are not what they were in the time of the Iron Duke, in whose eyes a weakling was an abom- ination, let his moral character be never so impeccable and his education and at- tainments of the highest. The present Duke's contention has given rise to much discussion. One writer denies flatly that Englishmen, as a race, are decreasing either in stature or phy- sique, and points triumphantly to the mul- | titude of tall girls one sees in the ball- room, an argument which is rather be- side the question, as Amazonian regi- ments are not projected. Another writer poohpoohs the ducal | Jeremiah by saying that the modern lishman cannot begin to get into the suit of armor worn by his crusading progen- itors, while a third takes another tack A by exclaiming: *““What if we are more di riinutive than we used to be?

White, pre of psychological medicine at King's Col- lege, who in his presidential address to the Medical Psychological Association said that fa point to an umulation of the chronic insane and that the num- ber of cases of melancholia had vastly in- creased, frequently resuiting in chronic | insanity. During the last few years Dr { White had been struck by the large num- ber of cases of evolutionary mental | breakdowns occurring in patients of the upper and middle classes from 18 to 20 vears of age. This was the result of the strain of education and the worries of life upon brains unequal to the stress un- der which Londoners lived. o : 2 | LIARD Io/mfler | | | — POPULAR ANGLO-AMERICAN HOSTESS AND SOME OF HER RECENT GUESTS AND A DUCHESS WHO HAS LO!
