AS WELL AS
: If
iVER since Queen Victoria,
E some uity or s.xty yeniH
I ago, roundly spnnked a
amnll t?n iifiia nnittnir
up didoes and that light.
In public In tho midst of
come big procession or
other tho English throne
has set about tho most
forceful example of strict
attention on the part of
Its queens to tho principal
business of womanhood that the mod
ern world has seen.
Not that publicly chastising a naugh
ty child is of itself an index of the
right sort of motherhood, by any
means. Hut In these particular cir
cumstances It certainly was. For it
;sorved to show the entire worfd that
tho queen of Great Britain nnd em
press of all India put nothing, not
even royal decorum, above the busi
ness of motherhood.
She did not, as many mothers might
havo dono, allow tho offender to keop
on In his evil course until tho royal
parade was at an end, and then get
lown to maternal first principles.
Nor did she loftily wave him out of
sight, as we fondly imagine all kings
and queens mny, when brought faco
to face with an unpleasantness of
whatsoever sort.
Instead, she spanked sonny with nor
own right royal hand.
The act was simple, human nnd
Illuminating, even if a Jar to that Eng
lish hallmark of good-breeding, deadly
composure under nil circumstances.
Queen Victoria set tho example of,
supreme mntcrnalncss at a time when
to be motherly and domestically in
clined was not considered in tho best
of social form. Queen Alexandra after
her, and now Queen Mary, contlnuo to
make a fashion of it, ns much as any
thing can be made n fashion of, that
requires all that is best in ono to
porform.
Makers of Homes.
In trying to get hold of tho salient
characteristics of Alexandra, now
called the Queen .Mother by her own
wish, and Queen Mary, upon whoso
shoulders the royal mantle worn by
Alexandra for nine years now falls,
the curious fact presents itself that
they have' almost no existence) outside
the ro!s of mother nnd housewife.
That Is, whatever distinction they
have attained has been through bolng
devoted mothers, splendid home-makers,
companions to their husbands
when companionship was desired of
them, and conservers nlwaya of tho
name they took In marriage.
While the English peoplo havo loved
her, their feeling Is nearer reverenco
than fellowship.' She has stood alone
in n little world of her own, aureoled
by pure goodness.
Perhaps the fact that she is moro
than slightly deaf has caused this
Hoparateness from human foibles. Per
haps It has saved her pain, too, for
people may whispor, but they will not
shout about scandal,
Alexandria Is a lover of horses and
dogs, particularly dogs. At ono tlmo
she wnB the champion woman tandem
driver of England. She adores music
and flowers. In Edward's dead hands
Bhe folded one white rose beforo ho
was Bhut forever from tho world.
, 1 Tho queen who succeeds Aloxnndrn
on the throne, Mary, Is tho first Brit
ish consort that has sat on the throne
of England for hundreds of years.
While resembling, Alexandra In tho
most womnnly other traits lovo of
home and children she gives overy
promise of being a moro aggressivo
factor in tho final summing up of the
reign in which sbo figures.
Personality of New Queen,
She and her husband havo led so se
cluded a life that very little has been
heard of their private affairs but K
appears that she is renowned ns a de
termined .patronizer of English textile
manufactures, refusing to wear any
thing not woven In British realms.
She is no sportswoman. Sha likes to
skate, but will skate on nothing but
nntural Ice. She Is n gentlewoman,
and will have none but gentlowomen
nbout her, bo "freak dinners" and
cotillon presents running Into four or
llvo ilgures are about as llkoly to win
'her sufferance as murdor or arson.
Queen Mary is very good to tho
poor, liberally aiding bazars, etc. She
has guarded her privacy Jealously, has
reared five splendid children, ono of
whom Is a girl, and has allowed her
self to be photographed In an cnga-
C'ng pfe'uro with tbo young prince of
Wcca ridlr-g pickaback on her thoul
dcra. Queen Mary was brought up in a
Btra.ght-laccd, rigid fashion by her
mother, who sent hor to bed Instead
of to rnrtlcs. Mary is n cousin, twice
removed, of King George. She wna
engaged to tho duke of Clnrcnco, tho
heir apparent, who died In 1892.
Agamst Alexandra's will, but greatly
to tho Joy of Queen Victoria and tho
English people, who longed to see an
England princess on the throne, be
ing against any mare German alliances
for tho reigning house, she was won
over to nn engagement with her for
mer betrothed's younger brother,
George. They were married on July
6, 1893, when Mary was about twenty
six years old.
Their Realm the Home.
It Is a curious fact from this point
of view that there Is no part of such
a role not open for emulation to tho
poorest wife and mother among all the
subjects of these queens.
Doth Queen Alexandra and Queen
Mary are famous throughout Great
Ilrltaln as splendid housekeepers, ex
quisite needlewomen, practical moth
ers, with thorough understanding of
tho care of nurseries, and educators
of their young children. As house
wives and mothers they have lived
with a single-minded dovotlon, not
surpassed by the most rigid of Drltish
matrons.
To be Buro, no evldenco appears
that either of theso women Is highly
endowed Intellectually, or could by
fotco of her brilliancy nnd wit reign
over salons. But they might have
tried. That their natural promptings
havo been to devote themselves to
home nnd children indicates much,
however, and the force of example has
been something tremendous.
Helen Vacaresco, tho Roumanian
writer, tolls of seeing Aloxandra In her
youth. She pictures her as of fairy'
like beauty, with the loveliest of blue
eyes, the sunshiniest of golden hair,
and the walk of a goddess.
Lady Randolph Churchill's "Remin
iscences" bring her nearer, for Lady
Churchill is too brilliant a woman to
bo satisfied with drawing merely a
lay flguro of royalty. She spent some
time at Sandrlngham with the prlnco
nnd princess of Wales, and her de
lineation of the woman whoso dress
Ing table was so crowded with pic
tures of her children and bibelots that
sho had no place for comb or toilet
nrticles, has the human touch. An
aged white parrot occupied the stand
of honor In tho middle of Alexandra's
dressing-room, where he was aa
cross ns only an old parrot can be.
Lady Churchill tells how the prin
cess used to rap unexpectedly on tho
door of a guest's room at night .os
tensibly to ask If tho guest was com
fortable but really to speak n little
word of sympathy, advlco or encour
agement, according to what had oc
curred during tho day to necessitate
it. The prlncess'hnd abnormally keen
eyes for Borrow nnd trouble, she says,
and won all hearts by her unfailing
sympathy.
Has Known Sorrow.
In 1871 Princess Alexandra lost a
child.. Iator in tho year Edward lay
almost at tho point of death with ty
phoid. During his sickness n stablo
boy was stricken with tho same dis
ease nnd died. Alexandra visited his
mother, attended tho funeral, and gave
tho stone erocted over his grave. It
bears this legend, which shows how
grnclous her tact was: "Ono was
taken, and the othor was left."
There aro numberless stories of her
simple goodness of heart and lavish
generosity.
When she came to England hor
bouutlfulness of spirit made difficul
ties for her. She gnvo to all who
sought and could not believe, until
tlmo demonstrated, that people wero
preying on hor well-known kindness.
Tho story of her betrothal to Ed
word, debonair prlnco of Wales, has a
tender touch of romance, for ho fell
in lovo with her picture. Sho was tho
daughter of a Danish prlnco, whoso
houso gnvo an empress to Russia and
a king to Grecco, but hor youth wns
spent quietly In domestic pursuits.
Her fathor wns not then king of Don
mark. Tho homo was a simple one,
In which frugality and simple living
prevailed. There was a romarkablo
bond of lovo between parents and
children, however, that sweetened all
.U liUWI ... . . '.i.l... - i
through all the after years unbroken,
savo where death Intervened. This
is In part demonstrated by Alexan
dra's recently establishing her sum
mer homo nenr Copenhagen with her
sister, the dowager empress of Rus
sia. Here, It is said, sho will retlro,
in companionship with her Bister.
Edward nnd Alexandra woro mar
ried In 18C3, when sho wns but nine
teen. In nil tho years slnco then,
during which sho has had to pass
through tho ordeal of getting ac
quainted with the English people, ami
has had to maintain a tremendously
dlfllcult Boclnl role, as princess nnd
queen, not one slnglo social blunder
lins been charged against hor. .
She has shown herself to bo "a
woman of singularly blameless life,
loving nnd lovable," an one chronicler
nuts It You cannot revlow her HfJ'
without getting tho impression that
generally prevails about hor In Eng
land, that Bho Is a woman of suporln
tlvo goodness of character. And not
without keen Intelligence, or Bho
could never havo picked hor stops so
carefully ns uolther to glvo offense
nor seem to bo offended.
For 37 years tho wlfo of a prlnco
whose score, both by Inclination nnd
circumstance, wns ontlrc'y social, n
"good fellow" in the widest Benbc of
tho word, n man of boundless cucrgy,
nupcrlatlvo good nature and eager ad
miration for brllllanco nnd wit In
oitl-cr mnn or woman, Alcxnndrn main
tain-d n character so solf-contnlned,
fo truly puro and good, that, as ono
writer says, a veil scorns to havo
fal'cn between hcrsolf nnd the rost ot
the world, so that not even her most
spontaneous act brings her near to
common human nnturo.
Tasks Ahead of King George.
About King Gcorgo's past there
hangs a romantic rumor of a mor
ganatic marriage with tho dnughtcr
of Admiral Seymour. Ho haB mauo
a good husband, however, being with
out any good fellowship or club no
tions whatevor. Ho Is no "mixer" In"
the sense that King Edward wnB.
They say that whllo many members
of his father's court did not know
him by sight when ho succeeded King
Edward, his was n familiar flguro in
tho councils of the worklngmcn of tho
East End. However that may bo, It
certainly "listens good" In tho pass
in which King Georgo finds himself
today, called upon to stem the tide of
ono of the greatest political rovolta
that Great Britain has over known.
In her pictures Queen Mary has tho
faco of a little puritan, which sho Is
said to bo. Her training has not boon
such as to liberalize her views social
ly, at any rato In the wny that Queen
Alexandra's have been or shall wo
say that Queen Alexandra has allowed
it to appear? Queen Mary waB born
to a great position. Her mother wns
a favorite English princess nnd the
English peoplo havo never concealed
that of all women sho would be tho
choice for England's queen.
Married to a man sharing her quiet
tastes, her lack of particular caro
for fashion nnd the ostentation of
wealth in fact, of everything that
King Edward stood for, including un
paralleled popularity It Is but nntural
to bellevo thoso who predict n start
ling reversal to tho manners of Queen
Victoria's court in England; chiefly in
the rigid exclusion from royal circles
of all persons who cannot back up
brilliancy, beauty or richness with
blue blood nnd unspotted escutcheons
Alrendy Queen Mary takes out
piece of needlework or a bit of cro
cheting for tho poor after dlnnor In
tho drawinc-room and works at it
standing up, for sho bellovos that it is
good for tho health to stand up after
dinner.
Of course, tho only thing for tho
ladles of tho court to do Is to follow
suit. So they, many of whom gathered
around tho pleasant bridge tables ot
evenings heretofore, stand nlso nnd
teach tholr stiff, unaccustomed fingers
tho gentlo nrt of wielding tho ladylike
needle again.
It is probably going to be a thor
oughly well-bred court at St. James
hereafter, with a bluo-bloodod attend
nnce. There will bo no surprises In
the wnv of introductions therein of
celebrities In nrts.not commonly rec
ognlzed as polite. For which reason
by many It Is feared that It will bo a
much duller court, too. Which, of
coursV, remains to bo seen.
An Amazing People.
It Is extraordinary how fow Jews
there really ore In England, consider
ing their grent Influence nnd Insist

bort Samuel is the ono Jowlsh mem

four Jowlsh privy councillor", nnd only
four Jowlsh peers. Eight Jowb sit on
tho London county council; botween
twenty and thirty aro members of tho

has many Jowb among its members,
and American Journalism moro. Tho
newspapers In Paris aro largely Influ
enced by Jews; In Berlin their Influ
ence Is greater still, and in Vienna It
Is predominant. Finance 1b entirely
controlled by Jews, and hence It mny
be said that wars aro in their hands,
and tho fate of nations. Yet thoro aro

Governor Shallenberger Says He Will

Nebraska faces a serious problem.
In
tho matter of caring for Insane
patients who fall upon tho mercy of
the state. A fow days ago Robert
Smith, clerk of tho district court and
a member of the Douglas County in
sanity commission, wrote to Gover

state Institutions nre crowded to
tnelr capacity nnd that the Increas

whom the stnto must provide Is de
manding, more nnd more, that further
provision be made. A pnragraph
trom the governor's letter says:
Our state Institutions for tho In-

NEBRASKA DAIRYMEN.
A Bulletin From the State Agricultur
al Collrge.
Tho following bulletin to NobraBka
dalrymon hns boon Issued by tho de
partment of dairy husbandry ot Uto
stnto university:
Tho present hot, dry soason Is prov
ing to bo a most disastrous one for
keeping up tho milk How and It will
bo necessary to uso extreme measures
to prevent n sovero loss. Reports
havo been rccolvcd from various
pnrts of tho stnto telling of dry
pastures nnd n sovero docroaso In
milk production. This Is a most Borl
ous condition when wo consider tho
month of Juno ns tho boat In tho yonr
for pastures and volumo ot milk pro
duced.
As most of the cowb freshen in tho
spring, they should bo nt this season
of tho yonr nt tho holght ot their pro
duction. If they nro allowed to
Bhrlnk now they aro not apt to bo
prolltahle fall and winter producers.
It must bo understood that n cow
must produco a certain nmount of
milk and fat during tho yenr In order
to provo n prollt to her keeper.
Thousnnds of cows aro mado unprof
itable through lnck of food at critical
seasons of the year, nnd this Is cer
tainly n most crltlcnl season.
Tho first cutting of alfalfa hns now
been harvested and milch cowb
should havo access to nomo of this
new liny. They ahould also bo given
a small grain ration, which could bo
glvon In amounts according to tho
production of tho cow. As the flics
aro getting very bnd. It Is well to use
onco or twlco a day somo fly mixture
which enn bo put on with n hand
sprayer. Tho milker will find his
work moro ngreoablo If ho would put
his cows In n dark stablo whllo they
bolng milked. If this Is Impos
slble ho enn use a gunnysnck blan
ket. which, thrown over tho animal
during . milking time, will prevent
switching nnd discomfort to tho cow
nnd milker. Tho main quality for
profltablo production may bo ox
pressed by tho slinplo torm, "cow
comfort;" In othor words, when a
cow Is comfortnblo sho can then do
hor best. Should sho bo tormented
with files, forced to oat short, unpalat
able grass or suffer hunger, It 1b lm-
iiosslblo for hor to inako hor most
profltablo production,
Wo nro qulto llkoly to got somo
good rains later on In tho souson,
which will rovlvo tho pastures and
glvo tho animals moro succulent food,
but until such a condition Is had tho
feedlnc process ' muBt go on. Fow
cow keepers roallzo tho great differ
ence In prollt betweon cowb giving n
normal flow and thoso reduced to a
scant flow, nrlofly, this mny bo ox
plained In tho following way:
A 1,000-pound cow rfiqulros each
day about twelve pounds ot alfalfa
hay to sustain hor. This Is termed
tho "malntonnnco" part of tho ration.
If this cow 1b producing thirty
pounds of 3 por cent, milk, Bho will
need about forty poundB of alfalfa
hay ner day to mako tho milk. This
added to tho twolvo pounds for main
tennnco would monn she must rocolvo
fifty-two pounds of hay. Tho snmo
figures In tormB of grass would moan
sho must cnt thlrty-sovon poundB of
grass for maintenance nnd slxjy-slx
pounds of grass for production, or n
total requirement to keep up body
nnd milk flow of 103 pounds of grass,
which under tho present conditions, is
a physical Impossibility.
