The tragedy of a queen."
f? Th? J% T. F. F. Shannon Draws a Timely
Lesson From the Story of YwhtiTher?
Are Few Finer Exhibitions of
v * Sacrifice in tb? History of Womanhood
Brooklyn, X. Y.?For his Sunday
^ rooming sermon, in Craee M. E. Church,
F tie pastor, the Rev. Frederick F. ShanI
nan, had for his theme "The Tragedy of a
<^ueen.'J The text was from Esther i: 11-12:
a "Bring Yashti the queen before the king
^ with the crown royal, to show the people
nn/t Kpp 1 it?aiitv! for she was
fair to look on. But the Queen Yashti
jrefused to come at the king's commandment
by his chamberlains." Mr. Shannon
6aid:
i The Abasuerus of the hook of Esther is
tfcfe Xerxes of profane history. By common
consent of historians he was one of
the most powerful monarch* that ever
lived. The pages of Herodotus are tilled
* with his exploits, and (irote and Rollin,
also, dwell upon his power and achievements
in an interesting manner. But his
tawdry greatness is worth while only as it
* serves to set forth the heroism of Yashti.
Already the centuries have tarnished the
brilliance of his court, but not the beauty
of his queen. Shushan. the palace, exists
only in name. The hundred and four
score days during which he showed the
riches of his glorious kingdom and the
honor of his. excellent majesty are less
% than a shadow on the dial. The white,
green and blue hangings, tied with cord9
of purple and tine linen to silver rings in
t pillars of marble perished long ago. The
)- gold and silver beds, which sat upon a
.pavement of red and blue and white and
p^ack marble, have had no occupants for
more than 2400 years. The golden vessels,
from which princes quaffed tne royal wine,
are all one with the golden sand grains of
th? desert. Time is no respecter of persons.
If it buries-the common things in
Oblivion, that shadow of darkness/' it
does not forget "to pluck the spangles from
' the robes of kings, tossing them* into the
night also. But time cannot dull the beauty
of a great soul. Time cannot quench
the flame of a white life. Time cannot
attain the snow of a pure heart. And that
*m why Queen Yashti and the tragedy of
her life forever hold our admiration and
ourtears.
Perhaps we shall be more caoable of
measuring the unfortunate queen by glancing
the monarch she ODDosed. Ahasue
rus possessed the almost unlimited power
of an Oriental despot. His will was supreme
in everything. We find him here
gating a feast to his lords and princes.
Bating conceived the idea of making war
?n Greece, this feast to his subjects is a
step looking to that end. Whatever he
V undertook usually came to pass. He could
dig a canal through the Isthmus of Mount
I - Atb os. He could build a bridge of ships
across the Hellespont. He could scourge
the sea for its tempestuousness. He could
bedeck the branches of a tree with jewelry
as a reward for its fruitfulness. He coula
raise an army of more than 2,250,000 men.
He could even shed tears when he re..
fleeted that in less than a century not one
i of these men would survive. But we have
in our test one thing this monarch could
not do. He could not coupe] a helpless
woman to permit him and his drunken
-V -courtiers to make a toy of her beauty. He
} could not drag a high-souled queen down
from the pedestal of her stainless puritv!
"Consider, in the first place, that the lifestory
of Yashti recalls the fact that palaces
have furnished the actoip in some of the
darkest, deepest tragedies in history.
JWben Shakspeare wanted material from
. which to create his immortal dramas, with
unerring vision the i_ighty master began
to probe the btfe history of kings and
queens. - From their laughter and tears,
from their splendor and shame, from their
\; .rise and fall, he wove a literary tapestry
which is the growing wonder of men. Indeed.
as we watch Shakspeare move his
royal players over his mental chess-board,
<w&fcave to'-ex claim, with Aeschylus," What
a Shadow of a shade is human royalty!"
Hieing in brilliance, these royal stars set
* in darkness t and, usually, their darkness
"i,.* made more terrible by the ominous
flashings of red lightnings of remorse.
After a palace and its occupants have
7 passed unddf' Shakspe&re's pen, this is
the conclusion of the whole matter:
Thrones are painted bubbles, and kings
and queens are bubble chasers! This is
?* + Kot-o arp no ffood 'tines and

/queens, because there are. It is, rather,
emphasizing the fact that the happiest
: people are those who .ore, fortunate enough
set to have been born under, the star of
: royalty.
We all know how the historian loves to
> dwell upon the character of Cleopatra. Be{
{ yon a question, she was one of the most
captivating women of paganism, descended
from a long line 01 kings, royal blood
flowed in her veins, beauty adorned her
person and brilliance sparkled in her
wain. When Nature called for an Egyptian
oueen, this fascinating Greek princess
was tJie answer. At fourteen, she was an
accomplished linguist, a student of history
? and a skilled musician. At nineteen she
conquered that Caesar who had conquered
the world. Forty-six years before the
Christian era she accompanied him to
Rome, where she lived in pomp and luxfpry
"until Caesar's assassination, r.-lien she
returned to Egypt. She met Mark Antony
-at twenty-eight?'a i>eriod of life." according
to Plutarch, ''when woman's beauty is
most splendid and her intellect is in full
, ' maturity.'' Antony summoned her to ap.'
pear before him in Cilicia. charged with
naving assisted Cassins before the battle
of Pbilippi. Upon this imperious summons
hung the destiny of that gifted Roman;
and he knew it not. You know
how she answered the summons?not as a
craven culprit, but as the peerless queen
: of the south. As she went up the Cydnus
In her royal barge, the like of which was
never beheld before or since, the scene
enthralled the fancy of both Plutarch and
Shakspeaie. He who could make words
e*y what no other man could, had to oon"
Ids?, "For her own person, it beggared all
description." L'ke a burnished throne,
her barge'bunted on the water: the poop
was beaten gold; the purple sails were so
perfumed that the winds were love-sick
with them; the silver oars kept stroke to
the tune of flutes; she was couched in a
gold pavilion like Venus, "where we see
the fancv outwork nature;" dimpled boys,

each side fanning her; gentlewomen, like
Nereides, tended her. When she arrived
~ at the city the people rushed cut to see
her, leaving Antony alone in the marketplace.
Like the incomparable Julius, she came,
'she saw, she conquered! Antony was
dazzled, bewitched, enslaved by this siren
queen. Ever afterward, with the possible
exception., of three years, lie was her slave.
Not satisfied y^ith lavishing silver and
gold; and precious stones and silks and
works" of art upon her, he threw whole
kingdoms at her teet. as if they were so
* manv Koman forget-me-nots. He was as
helpless in her power as a bird under the
hypnotic spell of a snake. All the world
kjiowo how, at a critical moment in the
battle of Aciium, Cleopatra, for some
unknown reason, was seen leaving with
her vessels for lvrypt. This was a signal
/for Antony to abandon the battle and
follow his so-ctress. For strength, she
gave him weakness. For infatuation, she
gave him deceit. For the sweets of love, she
gave him the cges of sCo^pions. For idol*
atry. she gave him death. The Egyptian
Delilah had clipped t-re locks of this Jtoman
Samson and he wist not that bis
' * strength was departed from him.
So far this bewildering woman has only
4 ioyed with strong men. This chiM of the
. palace has held the golden bit of destiny
tP"
. * ?
between her teeth of pearl and her pods
have not reined her in. JJut her end is
coming. After betraying Antony, she retired
within a castle, which had been built
for just such an emergency. She then sent
her paramour word that she had killed
herself and his grief was such that he fell
upon his own sword. But he lived long
enough to discover that she had deceived
hint again. Dying and soaked in his own

him to her mausoleum. As the only en- :
trance to her retreat left unbarred was a
window, he was drawn up by ropes into !
her presence and died. And what became
of her?this actor from the palace? You
know the story. How she tried her charms
upon Octavius Caesar and failed. How the
prospect of being carried a prisoner to
Rome stared her in the face and how,
rather than be "led a captive princess up
the Caoitoline Hill."' ?die died by her own
hand. Lacking mora! sense, she wore aface
of brass to the end of the tragedy.
Unlike the sweet-souled Yashti, Cleopatra
had no veil of modesty for her face., and
she asked none for her soul. Darker than
Egyptian night, she has left, a dark stain
uix>n the brow of universal womanhood!
Whiter than the whiteness of the dawn.
Yashti. like Shelley's heroine, "clothed in
virtue's adamantine eloquence, paves her
path with human hearts!*'
Consider, also, that in studying the tragedy
of Yashti. we have to reckon with
her beauty, ''for she was fair to look on."
When some genius equal to the task of
writing a history of beauty appears, men
and women will find a perpetual charm in
its glowing pages. It will contain a page
of joy, a page 01 sorrow, a page vi peuv.-r.
a page of war. a page of love, a page of
hate, a page of poetry and a page of art.
But it will contain many pages developing
this thought?the tragedy of beauty. i
But along with her beauty, Vashti pes- j
sessed that other quality which lends
beauty an enduring freshness and charm?
modesty. Vashti owes her place in history
not so much to her beauty as to her mod'
esty. If beauty made her a queen, modesty
made her a woman, which is far better.
As queen. Xerxes could banish her: as {
woman, he was defied by her. As queen, i
be could and did dethrone: as woman,
she sits upon a throne that has hearts for
its cushions ,and centuries for its pillars.
The Dubarrys, the Pompadours, the Mon- :
tespans have their day and cease to he:
but the Yasbtis go on forever. The Civ- ;
temnestres. t^e Aspasias. the Cleopatras
are meteors flashing through the darkness ;
of eternal night; the Vashtis are golden
suns burning through womanhood's end
less day!Indeed,
modesty is so inherent an element.
in the great essentials making genu- 1
inc beauty that without modesty beauty :
is impossible. We are indebted to no hu- j
man law for this truth?God has woven j
it into the fabric of our natures. Art 1
critics tell us that the eighteenth century :
was pre-eminently the century of women.
Then, we are told: "Her grace possessed
the most prestige, her coouetrv the most j
disquieting elegance and her beauty the
most triumphant authority." It was the "
, age in which Mme. de Pompodour reigned
in the court of Louis XV.. The brushes of
Latour and Boucher have pleaded with all :
the eloquence of their genins and art to i
deify this daring woman. She appointed
ministers, she exiled those who incurred ;
her ill will, she sentenced to the Bastile ;
those who ran counter to her imperious :
wish. She was the patroness of philoso- !
phy, art and song. Through her magic ,
wand Versailles was touched into a dream j
of splendor, which has not yet vanished."'!
Her collection of pictures, crystals, cam- !
eos, antioues and gems was unparalleled in j
the kingdom. She squandered fortunes on '
her palaces, fetea and. ball; and then
other fortunes on her tcilet. For twenty
years this butcher's daughter held her tm- ;
perial sway, which was broken only by
death. But when the historian tells us :
that it was the dream of her girlhood to j
seduce the king: that her shameless nrodi- j
gality makes the cheek of decency burn; j
that modesty found no hospitality among :
her sensual charms, we may well repeat
the question of another, ."Was La Pom- i
pa dour beautiful, or merely pretty?" Instinctively
drawing back as we would in ;
the jwescnce jot a snake, we answer, "She
was neither. She was a royal harlot, paraded
in gilded shame, lacking most of all ;
that jewel of modesty which sparkles in j
the cfown of true beauty." Alas for that
land whose women forsake their veils of i
modesty to show the people and princes j
their beauty!
^Consider, finally, the price Vashti paid !
(or her modesty. For her refusal to come <
at the king's command was the immediate '
cause of her dethronement. Surely there
are few finer exhibitions of sacrifice in the
history* of "worn eh hood. We love to read
of Telesilla, who united courage with the |
gift of song, and saved Argos; of Octavia, ,
shielding tne children of Cleopatra, her
shameless rival; of Sulpicia, renouncing
the pleasures of Rome to go into*exile '
with her husband; of Lncretia. who killed 1
herself rather than live in dishonor; of '
Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, urg- ;
ing them to deeds of patriotism; of Paula, ,
leaving her palace on Mount Aventine, to ;
walk as an angel of charity through the
slums of Rome, but not one of them out- ;
shines Vashti.
Nor has history given this lovely queen i
her dues. We read much of Lais, who ;
lived in the same century as Vashti, and i
who was a notorious courtesan; of the j
immoral Aspasia, who counted Socrates
and Pericles among her -org list of ad
mirers; of the treacherous Lucilla, who !
ruled the court of Marcus Aurelius; of !
Agrippina, the infamous mother of still :
more infamous son?Nero. All of these
names have been emblazoned high up in :
the hall of fame. Rut. sadly enough, the I
events of Vashti's life, like Sappho's songs, ;
have been lost. Ami yet these few j
glimpses we have of her in the first and 1
second chapters of the Rook of Esther
will cause people to look at her forever. .
She was beautiful in Shushan the palace,
aud she will be beautiful for all time. !
She was fair to look on five centuries be- ;
fore Christ, and she will be fair to look j
on to the last day of the world. It was '
Vashti's beauty of soi\! that proclaimed
' /\( that- rortOIKfcance for 1
LXCX tUC iUICi UUUV.A vi j
which the world is suffering to-dav, viz.: ;
A genuine revival of the old-fashioned, !
homespun, immortal virtue of modesty! ;
While the Bible says nothin<- of the sac!
rificesbe made, be assured that it was big i
with pr.in. Long nights of sorrow shut ;
her in. She knew the bitterness of friend- J
less days. . Like Dante, she experienced j
how hard it was to eat other's bread. But
she took uo counsel of her expediency. !
Let the king's anger burn within him. let !
the godless court make her a laughing- :
stock, still Vashti never faltered. She !
knew that beyond her Gethsemane, Ascen- '
sion Mount was robed in glory. She 1
knew, with all queenly women of like spir- |
it. that gates of pearl would swing back to j
let her in. and that she would march to
another coronation on high.

FLOWERS COLORED TO ORDER.
By a Very Simple Method Most. Beautiful
Effects Have Been Obtained.
: * v >. ' ' .c \
We know that horticulturists create
almost at will wild flowers of varied
colors by practicing forced culture,
artificial selection and hybridization,
in this way obtaining a very extended
scale of colors. Still, in any case,
the color of the flower, although it is
possible to give birtb to millions of j
varieties, can only be modified within
- ^a_ t 1
certain limits. With reiereace to iuu> ^
fact the colors of .flowers have been I
divided into two great categories, the I
xanthic series?yellow, yellowish |
greep,1 orange, red?and. the cyanic j
series?blue, indigo, violet Never
has a flower of the first series passed
into the second, nor nas the reverse
taken place; never has a gardener, no
matter how clever he may be, been
able to obtain blue roses.
The florists, however, obtain this j
color. The method of the florists is j
that classic one which has been long i
employed on the case of violets, for
example, making them green with ammonia,
white with vapors of sulphuric
acid, etc. Id this case, however, it is
the coloring matter of the flower itself
which is modified, although in the
production of green carnations the |
method adopted is that of artificially j
introducing coloring matter into the ;
tissues of the plant, the coloring mat- j
ter than being incorporated irito the ,
peta's.
When the first green carnations ap- ;
peared in Paris the city was seized
with astonishment, and many persons '
willingly paid as much as 40 cents j
apiece for the flowers. The municipal !
authorities instituted an investiga- J
tion and soon discovered how the
dowers were colored. It appeared that j
a young girl accidentally poured into ;
the water of a vase eontaing white I
carnations coicring matter with which j
-v.> t- noin-TiT ? i#?af ereen. '
OilC *> as |>t4/uwj*r) m ?wv _ .
What was hor astonisnment to see !
the carnations lose their white color j
and assume a beautiful green tint; j
from this to the regular manufacture j
of r^e flowers was only a step.
All plants, however, do not lend
tbipselves in an equal manner to
these vagaries. The carnation, hyacinth.
orange flower, gilir flower, iris,
chrysanthemum, and cameiia are the
most easily colored, and in this respect
it is amusing to experiment with j
the many hues that can be obtained, j
It is only necessary to prepare a i
coloring solution, then cut the stem j
cf the flower and place it in the solution.
The plant draws up the water,
and little by little rhe coloring matter
is distributed throughout the plant's
tissues. A common gilly flower placed
in & solution of light green analine
dye is quickly transformed, at the j
end cf twenty minutes the white parts j
being blue, ten yellows green, and the j
t reds violet.?Cosmos.

No Lawyers in China.
To prove the laws of China in re- i
gard to marriage was found by Mrs.
Low Sheets attorneys to be a more
difficult task than they at first sup,- ;
posod, but they finally succeeded yes- i
rerday, when they put Chung Pao Shi, i
the acting consul-general, on the wit- :
ness stand in Judge Coffey's court. J
Low Sbee. who resides in China, is '
claiming the estate left by Chew Bing I
Quoia, a merchant of Chinatown, and J
the opposing claimant is Lum Quoia, i
a woman who lived with Chew Bing j
Quoia for yearshere. It is alleged that I
Low Shee was legally married to Chew j
Bing Quoia in ChiDa and that Lum :
Quoia for years here. It is alleged that j
bine.. Vice-Consul Ouyan King interpreted
the Consul's testimony. No i
regular Chinese, interpreter in the city
spoke the Consul's dialect, it was
stated, and so the vice-consul was
called.
Judge Coffey smiled when informed
by the consul that there were no attorneys
at law practisng in China, and
thit lawyers were not wanted in the
courts there, the judges doing all the
questioning to ascertain the facts.
The consul stated that he was acquainted
with the laws of the Chinese
empire and had read the Chinese law
relative to marriage. He identified
Chinese books which were produced in
court as copies of the laws of the empire.
. He said that an essential feature
of every marriage in China was
the sending of a card glttng the bride's
ancestry for at least three generations.?San
