It wi< a long jump?334 years front |ho death of King Edward VI to the , accession of Albeit, now Ed-ward VII. ' The good Queen Victoria didn't have j Lave much English blood in her veins. The Georges were Germans by olrth or j adoption. Three of them lived and died in Hanover and the house of Hanover ruled England for 200 yeais. Victoria's fathci and u.oiIk r lived there. She r,ot her hucbuud there and her son. the Prlii e of Wales, got 1 'a wife there. If it had :iot been for tlio Salic law, which forbade a v.omut front reigming over llanovor. she would probably have lived and died there. Divides this preponderance of German blond, sno had a strain of Italian ulool in her veins and was pleased to call herself a Guelph Hir English ancestors wera a herd Int. Indeed, the kings of England. j lally tho Henrys, the Edavards, and u'/vvo <* ^ I -- ? ? \ * n u. uu'oitu'u 10 royalty. They were cruel, heartless, selfish and depraved. They were worse than our , kidnappers or the hazing cadets at j West Point, for they put to death thoir i brothers and mothers to go' them out of their way. Only two or ihree kings have behaved with credit to the crown. But the queens have illustrated woman's superior virtue and kindliness of heart. Queen Victoria is h^uoied throughout tlio world?not for her force of ruling power or political sagacity or superior wisdom, but fo. her womanly virtue, her tenderness, her gentle example, her Christianity, liv n CJladstciio consul c 1 her, un.l if sh had had her way there would have been no war en tho Boers. Neither would our government be trying to subjugate the Philippines If a g od woman had been president. It is the men who get np nearly all the d vilment in this *: 1 I. ! 1 would rather risk our own Mis. Low a us a president than MdXinley. Look what teachers they make. Time w is when we claimed that a woman coul 1 | not head an ins.itution of learning, hut there never were better presidents of f< male colleges than Mrs. W.llur.l, Mr-, ttahlwiu and Miss Rutherford. 1 uui ,imHist in ccspair about Hie cap:! - ' ity of men to govern unruly boys. We have but oru* college In the state where this tomfoolery called athletics is u 1tlcr the tan. In fact bast ball an 1 f. o bull and golf and rowing of boats is the biggest part of the curriculum in nearly ali the male colli go? of the union. We fathers don't care a li mbic \vh tlior our boys can kick a ball or not. and nobody else cares. It is not education. Some Cherokee Indians came here | from North Carol na a f. w years ago and played ball and could beat tlies* college boys out of their boots and they cMdent go otT and g-t drunk rs soon as the game was over. The boys In our day played ball, but they piny d It decently and nobo'y w s ever kill d or hurt. Nowadays the college boys banter the boys of another college ami they meet in Atlanta and play tli game and hire some prrfessiona's an I have a big time and then \v..id up with a drunken frolic, and run over ti e police and break the glass out of the Kimball house drors and go ba 1; triumphant and don't study any more for a week and the f u ulty wink at it and call It modern c'uca'.ion. O r oi l-fashioned town ball w a a safer ami better game th ?n basrball and on. shinny was better than golf. \V > called it town ball berausa we ha 1 boys who could knock hue ball out of .town, and we called it shinny ho ai: ? the shins were in dancer when yo i crossed the liri". and tlr t 1-* where t ^ saying, "shinny on yenir own s r" came from. We had enough overcis' at play time without running off to Atlanta and w sting ten or fifteen do lara of the old man's money and leaving some hoy dead or badly wounded. Wll V. thOV hnVin't (' it t\ nnunl. ..?i ... men In New York city to r< gulnte or Intimidate the boys of Ya'.e and Ma vard when tliey meet there to play o pnip. And the only excuse ever g vet by the fatuity Is: "Oh, hoys will he boys." Now, it seem? that the Inzer! have apoligizod and promised 'o qui'. That is well enough, but it doesn't relieve them f om the p hlic indigoat on. A reform that ctcnes from f ar do serves no rreHt. Those hoys are the srvn o Unites they wee hef re, and should not he rrcog' /.el a.- gentlemen anywhere out-lde of a hull light !n Mevt'O.

Intellect and experience from their dip into the worlds affair* during the last decade ur two, who, in their el iti life, give and receive the hesl there is in womanhood-that they should grow weary ot the social clearlug house of afternoon teas, "at homes, formal receptions, ete., is not surprising. Nor is it illogical that tliuj not only demand release, but ask fo; bread instead of a stone. They woulc exchange iju. repetition of perfunctory complaint, the monotony of cstuhlislied routine, for a knowledge1 of their }.! i ' 111 ? 4iii acquaintance with men und women as they really are behind the social mask. And so it happens that a renaissance of s.tuple and geuuiue hospitality is impending, and its promotion the au- j noitneed policy of a goodly portion irf soea'ly. What form will this revivaJ take?
