on Juno i0 ! la an occasion when the ( lerceet

the \enrrable woman whose long and vlr-
luoun IKo hsit ilono so much ( or the peace
i d the prosperity of her own people , as uell
at1 the world at large. The simple tastfo o (
Quom Victoria. n r tlome&tlc tralUi and her
love for a < iulel home llfo have made her
personally popular v\lh ! tbo majority of the
ixttldcnts of the Unltixl Statin , no matter
liow t'traliuii , at times , might be the
diplomatic relations between this country
mul Great llrltaln. The ( act that ebo baa
iKeu a model daughter , wife end mother
h-n MOII ( or her tha rerpect flnj esteem c (
every ( ather and inotlur In the clvllliod
world , many o ( whom would otherwise take
little Interest In ( ho ( act that her reign baa
tiren the inat glorious and tveut/ul In tbo
history o ( thu KnglUh people.
1 GOOD QURKN VIC.
Thla title o ( emleariucut Victoria received
early in lur career as Ilrltalu's monarch ,
when It wan ( ound that she would not toler
ate the loctencBs of morals , the dlcalpatlon
uuvl the corruption which had marked court
llfo during thu relgna of her Immediate
prcdecftiaori. When WtUlaui IV. died and
the llttla rrlnccti Victoria , then only 18
< oara olJ , naa called to Uie Uuoae el Qr at
llrltaln , comparatively little- was Unown o (
her nature and cipabllltle.i. owing to the
sccluiilon In which her girlhood was passed ,
and the leading statesmen of the- country
f Ufd that thla Inexpsrlcnced young woman
might prove to be as frivolous In disposition
and m undecided In character e.a mewl per
sons of her age.
There wag a general feeling of relief
throughout England when It waa found that
the ) outhful gueeu posucesed a determined ,
resolute nature , a mind trained to perform
undertitandlngly the duties of her exalted
position , and a character firmly grounded In
thu principles of morality and Justice. The
credit of It all was justly given to the
widowed mother of the queen , and to this
day the Hrltlsh nation has never forgotten
tbo debt of gratitude It owes to the duchesii
of Kent for tbo happy result of the thought-
fulncus , perseverance' . EolMcnlal and prac
tical common tense which she displayed In
the education of the future sovereign.
THK DUCHBSS OF KENT.
Tbo duke of Kent died on January 23 ,
ISiO , when Iho little I'rlnceas Victoria wao
only 8 monUw old , leaving bis widow In
straitened circumstances. Tbe duchess was
then a handsoiuu woman of 33 years , of
amiable dtepcaltlon , attractive manners and
fond of society , and , If she chose to do so ,
could easily have taken a prominent place
In tbo fuel and pleasure-loving set that con
trolled Ilia British court In those days. For
tunately ( or the English people , the duchess
of Kent fully appreciated tbo Importance
of the duty which devolved upon her , when ,
after her husband's death , she found her
self In cole charge of the probable guccrt&or
to the throne. She thei. determined to de
vote the beat years of her life wholly to
the task of molding tbo unformed character
of her little ilaughter Into that shape and
strength that best fitted the future queen
( or the responsible position eho was destined
to fill.
Thu duchess' fitness ( or the. task was well
understood by her husband , as was evi
denced by Iho following clauses In his will ;
"I do nominate , constitute end appoint my
beloved wife , Vlctolre , ducheis of Kent , to
be the sclo guardian of uur dear child , the
I'rltictsd Alexandrlna Vlctolre , to all iutects
and for all purposes whatsoever. "

MBit SCHEME OF EDUCATION. |
Knowing , as elio did. that the moral atmosphere -
mosphero of the court of George IV. was not
to Uw lurUmuice ot htr pUoi ( or I
the proper education of her child , the duchess
shut herself up In the old palace at Kensing
ton , where , for setenteen years , ehe and the
youthful prli.rfos parsed a life of almotr.

lated in a ( severely simple , but most judicious
mannner. ITie family breakfasted at S

milk and fruit on a table by her mother's
side. Then came an hour's walk or drive ,
after which two hours were devoted to her
Instructions by the duchess personally. Then
came recreation until 2 o'clock , when a plain
luncheon was served , followed by two hours
more Instruction. A visit or drive preceded
an early supper , after which , on fine even
ings , they all eat out on the lawn under the
trees until 9 o'clock , when the prluce&s went
to bed. So paessed the even tenor of Vic-
torla'B early life in Kensington palace , Little
knowledge of the puter world came Into the
home circle of the ducbesss while her child
wgj belcs reared la the lawt of physical
health. In knowledge and In the principles
of virtue and common Christianity.
In Victoria's 12th year George IV. died ,
and was succeeded by William IV. , and
then she became the heiress presumptive to I
the throne. Even under those circumstances '
her careful mother d not permit Victoria
to be present at tho.coronation , ostensibly
because her health necessitated a trip to the
Isle of Wight , but really because the duchfes
believed the child was too young to be pres
ent at a scene where she would , necessarily ,
have to take a conspicuous part. Tbe wise
mother was aware , however , that the time
had come for her daughter's knowledge of
books to be supplemented by intercourse with
superior minds , and she adopted the practice
of Inviting to Kensington travelers , men of
science , and other persons prominent In the
Intellectual world , from whom the Princess
Victoria might gather inforrnutlon not readily
found in book * .
Tbo result of all this care and devotion
on tbo part ot tbo dudicsi ot Kent was ttat
on Juno 20 , 1S37 , when the message was
I brought to Kensington palace that her
daughter ai.cl pupil was queen of England ,
! that daughter wns ready and prepared for
! the trying oad onerous duties which were
thus laid upon her } oung tboiilders.
A MOTHER'S UCCOMl'BN.SE.
The duchess o ( Kent gave up everything
lrt order qualify her daughter for her exI
altcd position , an J the was repaid In that
which a mother most prizes filial rcvcivncc
and affection. A gratifying proof of this 111j
lal love was the fact that the queen paid all
her father's debts out of her IIret year's In
come , and from her second she discharged all
the financial obligations which the duchess
of Kent had Incurred In meeting the Innu-
ir.cMblo heavy calls upon lur aj tbo mother of
the future sovereign. The queen's affection
for her mother was always intense. In 1S40 ,
when an attempt was made upon her life , the
queen altered the course of her drive , and
went at cnce to Inform her mother that she
was uninjured , before the duchess could 1)3

The duchces of Kent died at Frogmoro
Lous ? , near Windsor castle , on March 23 ,
1S01 , and a leading London paper , in com
menting upon her life , said : "Wo can , per
haps , better appreciate the worth of this
empire of her lldellty to her trust than It
wea possible ( or her to do. We ( eel more
eenilbly than the could what a new safe
guard her Euccet-t ) has thrown around tbo
tanctlty of pur homes. Kor our wives' and
daughters' take we have reason enough to
be thankful that profligacy finds no coun
tenance In the court , and that their purity
of heart Is exposed to none of those shocks
which It Is so often fated to sustain when
vice walks unabashed in the highest places
In society. When the duchets of Kent shut
hemlf up at Kensington to devote her best
cnerglea to the education of a daughter and a
queen , she little thought , perhaps , that she
was laying not only Great liritaln , but the
world under lasting obligations. The light
In which constitutional monarchy has been
placed by the virjuca of her daughter has ,
probably , taught more than one absolute sov
ereign the truth , even If be refuses to give
It practical recognition , that the surest basis
of tbo throne Is laid In the respect and affec
tion of its subjects. "
