In the sixty-three years of her reign Victoria had seen Britain grow far beyond other nations of Europe. She was Empress of India, she practically ruled Egypt, her possessions In Aus­ tralia had grown from a penal settle­ ment into a continental domain ot English Institutions. New Zealand and other islands of the south seas be­ came portions of her .realm, the old French Canadian provinces and the regions of British Columbia were welded into the Dominion ot Canada, and her South African colonies assumed the dimensions of an empire. Internal changes and reforms in' Great Britain have been fully as marked as the external ones. When Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 there were on the kingdom's statute books half a hundred offenses subject to capital punishment--among them the theft of a loaf of bread. Every village had its whipping post. The workers in the mines . were slaves. There were practically no schools. There was no right of suffrage and the only voice the people had in the affairs of the nation was through in­ cipient revolution.

"Yes, ma'am, you are," replied the lady, for etiquette requires that one shall not contradict the sovereign, even In a matter of syntax When the queen visited Louis Phil­ ippe in the Chateau d'Eau, in 1843, the French "citizen king," having heard that it was her majesty's custom to take a glass of water before retiring for the night, ordered that one should be taken to her by a servant.

Educational, industrial and political conditions in the kingdom now' are well known, and they show wonderful reform in sixty-three years. It may be said that the queen had little to do with bringing about these changes-- that in initiating reforms her efforts were almost nil. But she never checked or defeated progress, and many times, when bills for suffrage extension or for the abolition of abuses have been opposed by the house of lords, her in­ fluence, exerted through the premier or a trusted counselor, has cleared the way for the enactment of the needed legislation. " Victoria's long reign and long* life enabled her to see monarehs of other lapds come and go, governments rise and fall, dynasties appear and disap­ pear and all the- flirtations to which fate makes kings and their thrones subject. In the period of her reign she saw Nicholas I., Alexander II., Alex­ ander III. and Nicholas II. governing Russia from the gremlin and she fol­ lowed ttte politics and participated in the international policy of that empire a quarter of a century before the pres­ ent czar was born. She saw the Vati­ can occupied by Gregory XVI., by Pius IX. and by Leo XIII. She was in close touch with France during the two re­ publics, through tthe reign,i of Louis Philippe and that of Napoleon III. The great German Empire was welded to­ gether under her eye and she was on intimate terms-of personal friendship with William III. of Prussia, William I. of Germany, and pf close family and state relationship with the Emperor Frederick and. her grandson, the pres­ ent kaiser. No one understood the complex and mechanism of the Austro Hungarian empire better than did Vic­ toria, save the Emperor Joseph. Every throne in Europe has been vacant, every ruler has changed, since this veteran sovereign took up her scepter sixty-three years ago. With one exception, queen's In­ fluence was for peace as figalnst war. This exception was the Crimean war, in which she showed wondrous tact and diplomacy, as well as a marvelous knowledge of the affairs of nations. Often since then diplomatic. troubles and friction have been smoothed over by her personal and foreign influence. Conflicts with other nations have been averted through her interference upon far more frequent occasions than are revealed by history. : j-rf Mmn, !

Half years ago a certain woman ot tltta, whose conduct had been lighter than her majesty considered modest sad proper, was presented at a dra/w- iag room, and was beautifully snubbed fcpr the queen. As the snubbed one friiered up her great train and made i«r>;way out of the throne room she heard to exclaim flippantly: "Iftat's the matter with the old lady, f vronder?"

' Taken in time thousands of Uvea will bo saved in this present damic. Every family should take the precaatlon to secure a supply of Fa» yuna at once, for the retail and wholeeale stock of the remedy may bt exhausted by the enormous demand for it. It Is wisdom to have Feruna In the house even before the grip at­ tacks the household. It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to Feruna as a remedy for la grippe: Congressman Howard, of Alabama^ says: "I have Fertraa for the grip and recommend It as an excellent remedy to all fellow- sufferers." Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: "I find Peruna to be an excellent remedy for the grip. I have used it In my family *"41 they all join me in recommending it." Miss Francis M. Anderson, of Washington, D. O., daughter of Judga Anderson, of Virginia, says: "I was taken very ill with the grip. I took Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week." Mrs. Harriette A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent Association of Chicago, writes: "I suffered with grip seven weeks. Nothing helped me. Tried Pertma and Within three weeks I was fully •©stored. Shall never be without it again." At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the symptoms disappear. This wUl prevent a long, disastrous sick­ ness and perhaps fatal results. 66®®®®®®^^ 3^ Ti Nlothen if Lirgi Families.
