<«ermiiiiy*N Crown Prince, Frederick
Will In in,
bonny little lad to Marlborough House,
and th«* Princess wheels him roun 1 and
rou the shaded walks, never seeming
to tire of her self-imposed task. It is said
that the royal mother sees In the face of
h< r youngest born, Alexander, who died
thirty years and more ago, before his
little life had rounded a single year. This
strong, young prince, with the robust
healthfulness of his mother’s people,
seems as though la* had come to stay, and
even In our day and generation we may
have anoi/her King Edward.
It is well known how far from strong
Prince George, Duke of Vork Is, and the
Prince of Wales has aged gr atly within
the past two years. A possible* heir to the
English throne, and one who would be
most ‘bitterly opposed. Is La<lv Alexander
Duff, only child of the Duk* and Duchess
of Fife. The Duchess is Lionise Victoria,
eldest daughter of the Prince of Wales,
and little Lady Alexandria is of course,
next In line of succession to her little
cousin, Edward of York. Old Time Is a
wonderful fellow, and he has given this
little five-year-old maid a slight chance
of ascending a. throne which was denied
by William IV. and her %rr* at -grand¬
mother Dora Jordan, the great come¬
dienne.
A Girl Queen.
The eldest of these child kings and
queens is the much written of With lmin,
Queen of tho Netherlands and Prineess
of Orange Nassau. She will he tifleen on
the :;ist day of August, and will soon have
to lay aside the score of dolls she loves
To well, and take upon herself tile care of
real men and women. She has had a lone¬
ly life this little girl queen, and it was no
wonder that the motherly gemle German
Empress, remembering her nursery t'ti¬
ter den Linden, full to overflowing vith
laughing, romping children, wished to
take this little lonesome girl with her,
where she would have the desire of her
heart, “somebody to play with." Since
the deatli of the young queen's father,
King William 111, in 18M, her mother,
Queen Emma, has wisely governed in her
daughter’s stead. Hut soon some gallant
Prince will (tome wooing and the wedding
hells will ring out loud and clear, and the
little girl Queen will he a wife before we
hardly know tha.t she is a woman grown.

■pain's Boy King.
Strain's little boy kits? was only nine
years old last May. A great deal was
heard of him during the Columbian Expo¬
sition, and It was thought for a long
time that he would come over and see us.
This great Nation felt a great burst of
gratitude to Spain, and to the brave, fair
Queen who gave of her best to Columbus.
Itui the little life was loo precious to
rlKk In any way, and the King's aunt,
the Infanta Eulalle, wife of Prints- Anto¬
nio of Orleans, came as his representa¬
tive, and was right royally welcomed, as
much for her own sweet graciousuess as
in honor of tin- King.
The life of the little boy is almost all
play, for he Is not robust, and his care¬
ful mother, Marin Christina, desires to
develop and strengthen his physique be¬
fore he uses his unusually clever little
head too much. He has two dear little
sisters to keep him eomisiny anti to make
gay the grand old palace In which he
lives. Ills sisters are the Infanta Marla
tie las Mercedes, who Is fifteen and the
Infanta Marla Theresa, who is two years
younger. The favorite game of the little
King Is the marching and counter-march¬
ing of his almost countless soldiers, some
of tin, others of wood, but all fully equip¬
ped In the colors of the royal little player’s
favorite regiment. Hut the gre.lies' treat
of all Is to revelw the real soldiers and
listen to the grand martial music. Al-
phonso will be a warrior bold when he
comes Into his own, unloss all slg is fall.

of the King and Queen of Denmark, who
was elected King in 1St;;i. Ills oldest son

A l-lhcrnl Education
Here Is Huxley's definition of a liberal
education: "That man, ’ said he. "has a
liberal education who has be n so trained
In youth that his twaly Is the ready serv¬
ant of Ills will, and does with ease and
pleasure nil the work that, as a ineehan.
isn>, it is capable of: whose intellect is
a ch ar, cold logic engine, with all its
parts of equal strength and in smooth
working order, ready, like a steam engine,
to be turned to any kind of work, and
spin the gossamers as well as forge the
anchors of his mind; whose mind is stored
with a knowledge of t'iie great and funda¬
mental truths of nature ami of llte laws
of her operations; one who, no stunted
ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose
passions are trained to come to halt by a
vigorous will, the servant of a tend r
conscience; who lias learned to love beau¬
ty. whether of nature or of art, to hate
all vlleness. and to respect oth rs as him¬
self. Such a one. and no other, has had
a liberal education.’’
The Southern Railway has gotten
out a folder about tlie Cotton States
and International Exposition at Atlan¬
,n ' wh,oh ls printed In seven different
kinguages. It was gotten out by the
Rental and accomplished general pas-
senger agent, who, Just after a bar-
beoue at the Locks, has been heard to
speak fluently in at least a dozen lan*
and eloquently in them all.
THE TRUE STORY.
A Prnellenl Woman Tells of the
Situation,
Ham Jones says that he approves
"of a woman being anything she
wants to be except the father of a
family.'’
lb- just exactly struck the keynote
of all the trouble with the "new wo¬
man” and the “old woman” too.
The majority of women don't enre
a pin for the ballot. They don’t care If
the "coin of the realm" Is gold or sil¬
ver, so there Is enough to go around
comfortably. They don’t care whether
tU - Is low tariff, high tariff, or no
tariff so there Is plenty of revenue,
but they are getting tired of being
the actual head of affairs at home
and not having the credit of the work.
The average American thinks that
when he haH furnished the money to
run the household, and occasionally
commanded the boys to obey their
mother, that he has done all that
ought to bo required of him. He works
hard and she must see to it that he
has rest and quiet when he comes
home. If the baby cries, no matter
If he did wake it himself, It shouldn't
W'ake so easily; of course it is because
of the mother's management, and no
man could reasonably be expected to
stand that. His nerves are not equal
to that.
The husband and father who spends
his evenings at home Is the exception;
the mother who spends one week away
from home Is an exception, and is re¬
garded as little less than a heathen if
she leaves the children alone for a few
moments to do a little shoppin. The
fathers of a hundred years ago spent
most of their evenings at home. The
overworked mother was not expected
to be the judge in every dispute that
arose among the younger members of
the family, and I have heard that the
mothers went to meeting once in a
while, the fathers staying at home
with the children. (That is tradition,
however, and one cannot be sure of
its being a fact.) If she was not able
to go, he sometimes staid at home for
company for her, Instead of leaving
her to amuse herself while he was
at the club or somewhere else. The
woman who raises a family of six or
eight children might just as well b*
in a nunnery, or the penitentiary, as
far as rest and relaxation is con¬
cerned, unless she happens to belong to
the fortunate few that can afford to
hire competent help. From the time
that the eldest child gives its first
wail till the youngest is old enough
to take care of Itself, she must be
constantly on the alert—night and
day—how many nights only the
mothers know, for, although it is
popularly supposed that the fathers
attend to the midnight wants of their
offspring, the fact is it is the mothers
who gather the unoffending and inno¬
cent looking carpet tacks with their
bare feet.
What wonder that Mrs. Youngwife
objects to repeating the experiment,
after she has been through a period
of doubt and loneliness all by herself,
while Mr. Younghusband has been
attending every sort of amusement in
his reach and making the excuse that
he “so seldom gets out of the office
that Mrs. Y. insisted that he should
come, although she herself did not
feel quite equal to the occasion.” doeif He
docs not tell, and perhaps not
know, that his wife will cry herself
sick from utter loneliness and will pre¬
tend that she is asleep when he tytmes
home with the hope of hiding what
she considers her foolishness. It is
not only Mrs. Youngwife and Mrs.
Oldwife, who see the trend of matri¬
mony, but the daughters also see and
comprehend how matters stand; they
say "what is the use of getting mar¬
ried? I can have all the fun I want
now, rides, balls, operas, ice cream
and all the rest as well as an attending
cavalier; if I married John I should
be simply a "kitchen mechanic.” X
can make my own living and not work
half as long or hard as mamma does,
I have a vacation at least once a year,
she never has one; I can spend my
own money as I like, she never has
any of her own to spend and always
has to give an account to papa for
every cent ho lets her have. Thank
you, I believe I don’t care for matri¬
mony.” One might go on and enu¬
merate a thousand disadvantages that
tho married woman has to encounter,
where the single one will not meet a
dozen.
The girls are beginning to realize
that there is nothing to be gained by
marriage unless they are going to get
helpmates in reality as well as in
name.
Men are making nothing but a civil
contract of marriage and they should
not grumble when they get what they
contract for. For value received, if
you give nothing but money don’t ex¬
pect any more than money can buy.
If you want love, respect, sympathy,
show at least a little of those com¬
modities among your stock in trade.
If the children are unruly are’ trou¬
blesome don’t find fault with her
management, but take hold and help
manage, help teach them not to be
noisy, cruel, and vindictive by pre¬
cept aud example both.
One can imagine that there will be
a considerable surprise felt if some¬
thing like the following should hap¬
pen to some of the fathers when good
St. Peter opens the gate to the great
beyond and meets them with the rec¬
ord:
"John Smith?"
“Yes."
"Urn—yes, here it is. Honest, indus¬
trious, good provider, children six,
three boys, three girls, How about
the family John Smith?”
"The boys are not anything to be
proud of—one pretty good, one pret-
bad, the other past middling, but the
girls—I tell you, sir, those were girls
be proud of.”
“Ah. John, how do you account for
the boys?”
"Well, I wtts too busy to attend to
bringing them up. and the boys to' Were
rather headstrong and hard man-
age. like 1 was; my father had his
hands full With me. My wife wasn’t
a very strong woman and perhaps, be-
ing a woman, she didn’t understand
boys very well; at any rate she didn’t
make much of a success of the boys,
but she did tine with the girls.”
“Yes. she is in here with the girls.
I guess you’ll find the boys below,
John vale."
Yes; Mr. Jones, you are on the right
track: it is not the correct thing for
the women to be the fathers and
mothers both. We are tired of being
-
,, fathers ... of . the .. „ families, and we
UK’
don't propose to bring up our daugh¬
ters to follow In our footsteps while
our sons, as soon as they are out of
leading strings, emulate the ways of
their nominal fathers—poor things!
The most of them have a progenitor,
but no father.
Some men are good all of the time,
all men are good some of the time,
but all men are not good all of the
time. There is not more than three*
quarters of them that are good all of
the time, the other quarter have such
wretchedly bad wives that they can't
possibly be good; It Isn’t their fault,
It’s their wives that are to blame.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
Of the Georgia Weather Service for
the Week Ending July 1, 1805,
Atlanta. On., July —Generous show¬
ers have fallen in all sections of the
State since last re|sirt; tin 1 temperature
has been normal or slightly above.
Crops are ail in flourishing shape, and
though eotton lots not yet entirely re¬
covered from its backward condition, it
is clear of grass, weeds and lice, has
green, healthy color, and with ordinary
seasonable weather, will yield up to or
above the average, All other crops are
in good condition.
Northwest Section.
In the northwest section temperature
has been seasonable and showers fell oil
the 2oth and 2!»th, doing much good ex¬
cept in tin- extreme northwest; the re¬
porter in Daile county stating that the
oiits crop, which was very line, has
la-eti much damaged by tin- heavy rain¬
fall- Generally the c-rop is very good
and its harvest has been commenced.
Wheat harvest is nearly finished and
when threshed is not as good its <*x
peeled. The best will not be over half
it crop. Corn is fine; some fields laid by.
Cotton is still small, hut growing nicely.
Sorghum and pens are good. Plenty of
berries, plums and peaches.
North Section.
In tin* northern counties the weather
condition# of tho past week have, . as a
whole, been favorable for the rapid
growth of crops. There inis generally
keen an ample supply of rainfall, hut
several reporters state that the week
was dry in their localities. Wheat and
oats are being threshed; the former was
ratlu-r a short crop, lint the latter a
lull yield. I’uttoii is still several weeks
late. Lilt is in good condition, free from
lice and worms. Corn has boon laid
I'.V and bids fair to la- n large crop. Pota¬
to's looking well. Peaches are ripen¬
ing rapidly and tlie crop will be very
large. Gardens are nourishing.
Nurllieust Section.
All growing crops made rapid progress
during the past week in the northeast
section of the State. The rains have
been quite frequent, although unevenly
distributed, and in some eases were
heavy, doing some damage, washing the
lauds, etc. Corn is in good condition.
Cotton is generally in very fair condi¬
tion. The plant is small and late, but
is now growing rapidly. Wheat, rye and
oats are being harvested. Wheat did
not turn out a good crop. Rye and
oats, however, are very fine. Gardens
and [Mjtatoes are doing well. Fruit
prospects good. Peach trees breaking
down under the loads of fruit.
West Sectl’bn.
With scattered rains and an average
quantity of heat and sunshine, the past
week lias been a good one for tho crops.
Although not much farm work lias been
done during the past seven days, fields
are generally clear of grass and weeds.
Cotton small and late, but growing
rapidly and looks healthy. Corn litis
been laid by and silking. Wheat thresh¬
ing is in progress and the yield, although
beter than was expected several weeks
ago, is not up to the average of pre¬
vious years. Oats aVe also being thresh¬
ed and the yield is very good. Berries
are abundant, and peaches, pears and
plums are maturing rapidly. Apples
are few and not very good. The condi¬
tion of watermelons is rather variable,
some farmers report tin excellent condi¬
tion, while others say they are not
doing well
Central Section.
During the past week showers fell in
portions of tin* central section on the
20th, 27th. 28th, 29th and 30th. Tem¬
perature has been about normal. The
week has been ft very favorable one.
Fields have been well cleaned. Cotton
is growing rapidly and is taking on fruit.
Corn is small but of good color; most
fields have been laid by. Pea planting
continues; those planted first are up
, i»d « good stand, Jinn* poaches have
been shipped and the July crop will be
ready for market in a few days. Most
fields of wheat, rye and oats have been
harvested. A win/l storm in Newton
county on the L’Stlt did considerable
damage to cotton, corn and fruit trees.
Fast Section.
The outlook at tliis writing is exceed¬
ingly bright for all field and garden
crops. The temperature for the week
lias been about the average, and the
rainfall lots been frequent and well dis¬
tributed, which w as of incalculable bene¬
fit to all growing crops. Corn is silking;,
it is in first class condition anil will bo
laid by some time this week. Cotton is
small but healthy, and it is beginning
to bloom. . Melons are ripening anil
tile crop is a good one. Gardens, in sec¬
tions where rain lias been plentiful, are
flourishing, while in other loss favored
localities they are not so good. I’eas are
being planted. Sugar cane and sweet
potatoes l/iil fair to make good yields.
Southwest Section.
In the southwest counties crops have,
as a rule, improved during the week.
Of rain there lots generally been an
ample supply, except in a few localities.
Cotton is still late and small, but heal¬
thy. For several weeks past blooms
have been observed in some favored
fields. Corn is in good condition aud
very little remains to he laid by. Wa-
termelons are beginning to ripen, but
many complaints are made that the crop
is not doing well and the yield will prob¬
ably be short in some loealities. Cane
and potatoes arc in fine shape. Minor
crops of ail kinds arc flourishing.
South Section.
As a rule the seasons during the past
week in tliis section of the State have
been till that the farmer could ask for.

prospect for a large potato crop is very
good. Sugar earn* and sweet potatoes
in good condition. A large acreage was
planted in peas and the stands are good.
Vegetables in first class condition.
Southeast Section.
In the southeast section temperature
has been slightly above the normal.
Showers have fallen, but have been very
local in their character, one portion of
the same county being well watered and
another portion being without auy rain
whatever. In the latter case the outlook
for all crops is very discouraging. Corn
and eotton are doing well, and their cul¬
tivation has been finished. I’eas are up
and look well. Some rice Is not looking
very well on account of being stunted
by previous drouth, Tide water rice
looks well and has the harvest water
turned on it. Sweet potato vines are
still being set out. Cane is very line.
Itullrouds and Their Congress.
The railroad congress in London rep¬
resents that phase of commercial de¬
velopment which more than any and
all other phases has made the modern
world what it is. The substitution of
steamers for sailing vessels was a
great step of progress, but It was not
revolutionary. The application of
steam to land transportation has ef¬
fected a revolution in the driection of
national growth. Progress of civiliza¬
tion had been along water courses.
The shores of the sea were fringed
with settlements; rivers were ascended
and towns founded on their banks.
Rut for ages interior regions remain¬
ed unknown and occupied only by
savages, because the cost of land
transport was too great for commer¬
cial purposes.
Water still furnishes the cheaper
highwny, but the difference is no
longer decisive. The course of em-
pire, the expansion of population, now
advances across continents as naviga¬
tion advanced boldly across the sea
when the compass was Invented,
whereas it had previously kept with¬
in sight of land, or only dared to
shorten voyages by cutting across from
cape to capo. The course of popula¬
tion has not crawled along the coast
since the railroads came and clung
to the river bank, but has struck out
for the other side of the continent,
and has even found the railroad in
advance of it. The United States as
a great continental power, as one of
the great powers of the world, would
have been impossible without the
railroad, and even Europe would have
been vastly different commercially and
transportation , .. re-
politically , i- + * had . land , ,
mained slow and expensive.
War and peace have alike been
made over by the locomotive. Armies
have marched to sudden and decisive
victory by the railroad, and commerce
has been able by the same highway to
reach undreamed of fields of lucrative
occupation. Even the greatest steam¬
ship is but a ship with more pow-
ful and uniform motive power than
sails, but the locomotive is not an
improved stage horse; it is a nev crea¬
tion, and in obliterating much the
greater part of the waste incident to
moving things from the place where
they are produced to the place where
they are desired, it has conferred riches
upon all classes of mankind, which it
is impossible to estimate in figures.
Statisticians tell us that the transpor¬
tation done last year would, at the
rates of fifty or seventy-five years
ago, have cost so much; but the more
important truth is that it would not
have been done at all. It is not so
important that transportation has been
cheapened as it is that transportation
lias been created. Men who were as
truly bound to the soli by poverty as
serfs ever were by law have been
emancipated and enabled to go where
their work Is needed. Products of
the soil which would have gone to
waste have become wealth, both to
those who procured them and those
who produced them. The locomotive
has raised transportation to a point
where it amounts to creation.
And all this has been accomplished
within the lifetime of men now living.
Mr. Gladstone seems to be in full pos¬
session of his intellectual faculties
and has but lately lit id down the in¬
signia of office as one of the rulers of
the world. Yet when he was an Ox-
ford student there was no railroad In
the world. There is enough now to
go around the world sixteen or seven¬
teen times, and the capital invested
in the construtcion and equipment of
this wonderful engine is so vast that
the figures representing it fail to car¬
ry any distinct impression to an ordin-
ary person. The public debt of the
United States at the highest point it
ever attained would represent perhaps
one-twelfth of what the world has
spent in a couple of generations of
railways. The average cost of haul¬
ing goods in Europe so recently as
1X50 is computed at 16 cents a ton a

Civil Rights and the Soda Fonntaln
.The Appellate Court of Illinois, in ses¬
sion at Springfield, ha uled dovi, June 3,
an opinion of considerable loment, not
merely to proprietors of soda fountains,
but restaurants, saloon keepers, and pro-
pri tors of other places where “refresh-
merits" are dispensed, inasmuch as it de-
cldcs as a principle of law that they have
a right to select tne class of customers to
whom they desire to cater, irr spective of
"civil rights" legislation,
The ease was Cecil vs. Greene, the de¬
fendant being Homer H. Gre n, a wed
known apothecary of Bloomington, HI.
Cecil is a negro who went into Mr. Green's
place and demanded a glass of soda. Mr.
Green refus d to serve him, claiming that
had the right to select his customers,
and ’that he did not desire the negro
trade, as it would injure his business.
Cecil thereupon sued Green, claiming an
invasion of his civil rights. On a hearing
of the case in the lower court Green’s at-
tion was sustained, and Cecil appealed.
On trial before the Appellate Court th:
latter sustained the ruling of the lower
court, amd taxed the costs on the appel--
lant, thus settling the rights of druggists
to sel/ct the class of customers to whom
they desire to cater.—The National "Drug-
gist,
The reports from Major W. F. Mc¬
Coy are that he is steadily improving,
lie had almost as miraculous a recov¬
ery as Governor Atkinson, We con-
gratulate him on his convalescence.
