“SQUARE BOTTLE" "SHIRE" LINE OF STEAMERS, LTD.
INTIMATE PICTURE OF HER
DAILY LIFE.
"The Queen of England" is the title of an Clement. Kinloch Cooke, M.P. And it would article in the North American Review by Sir be difficult to find a more typical picture of an Buglishwoman than is contained in the twelve pages which, he has written.
**A child," she said, "has quite enough to do to learn obedience and attend to her lessons and to grow without many parties and late hours, which take the freshness of childhood away and the brightness and beauty from girlhood-and then children become intolerable. There are too many grown-up children in the present doy,"
The artiola tells how the Queen's many high qualities were developed-her interest in charity by the frequent visits made in her mother a company to the poor aronud her Richmond home at White Lodge; hor religious con- victions, bred by the daily life of her home; bor musical accomplishments and her artistic talents, fostered by her stay in Florence, where her parents lived for two years.

The United Kingdom Census does not take place until next year, but the estimate based on the figures of 1901, give something Over 15,000,000 for last year, and this is not a underestimate. Whereasin ten years the United States have added 15 millions and the German Empire 9 millions to their populations, these Is. lands will have added less than 5 millions. For any purpose in which numbers count the people of the United Kingdon are destined to be over borne by the sheer weight of numerical superiority. In many spheres, it is true the mere mass of population is of no account, Great fertility and great magnitude de either the intellectual or the moral or the artistic superiority of a nation, but in other spheres, in war, in industry, in power, numbers must in the long run tell. A small nation may for a time sustain a burden of dominion out of proportion to its size by reason of superior civilisation. Knowledge and skill and energy may kess the place of leadership. but when other nations loarn their lesson and reach an equal level of organisation it is numbers that count. The United Kingdon to- day has not the easy monopoly of industry that made it secure Ürough last coutury. Its rivals have imitated and improved its methods, have Asimilated and surpassed its knowledge, until the balance of advantages in skill and organisa- tion has dipped down on their side. Population becomes more and more the test of ability to succeed in the struggle for dominion. A nation hopelessly outclassed in numbers cannot play a leading part in the affairs of the world. For these Islands to sink back to the second rank means something more than an injury to pride and a loss of prestige. It means also stagnation. in national life and the decay of the qualities I believe that the shortest and easiest path to which more than mere power or more wealth peace lies in adopting President Taft's platform, are the test of national greatness. Vigorous who said in his address before the Peace and Intellectual and healthy moral life belong to the Arbitration Society, New York, March 22, poriod of expansion and growth. The English 1910- character is at its best in enterprise sud activity, not in reposs. Hovore just the contempt poared upon numbers or power as a criterion of exoellence in the case of the English, the decline in power is certain to coincide with the decay of ths best qualities of the mind.

MR. CARNEGIE'S AIMS,"
The informal trust deed presented by Mr. Carnegie to the trustees to-day includes the following passages:--
Although we no longer eat our fellow-men tor torture prisoners, nor sack vitios, killing their inhabita is, we still kill each other in war, like barbarians. Only wild beasts are exorable for doing that in this the 20th century of the Christian era, for the crime of wets inherent, since it decides not in favour of the right but always of the strong. The nation is criminal which refuses arbitration and drives its adver- arg to a tribunal which knows nothing of righteous judgment.
"I have noticed exceptions in our arbitra- tion treaties as to reference of questions of national honour to Courts of Arbitration. Personally, I do not see any more reason why matters of national honour should not be re- ferred to a Court of Arbitration than matters of property or of national proprietorship. I know that is going further than most men are willing to go, but I do not see why ques tions of honour way not be submitted to a tribanal composed of men of honour who understand questions of national honour, to abide by their decision, as well as any other questions of difference arising between na. tione,"
CONGRESS AND ARBITRATION.
"The Queen has a sweet voice," says Sir Clement Kinloch Cooke, "a soft soprano, which greatly matured under the skilful guidance of Signor (now Six Paolo Tosti..

"Dramatic art of every kind appeals to her, and there are for plays of importance or that have attracted publio attention during the last two decades she has not seen. Like her mother she quickly seizes upon the humorous side of a question. Thus she has a keen appreciation for a sparkling comedy or a farce.
The Qoon is greatly attached to the bis- torical past of her country. Anclent monuments of every kind have a fascination for her, and her acquaintance with different kinds of architecture must have entailed much study and close observauco.
"Bho is particularly fond of visiting cath- old City churches, besides being well versed in edrals, and know the interiors of most of the the countless treasures contained in the other. historic buildings of our great metropolis.
"Her Majesty follows events attentively. Sho reads the newspapers daily, and as Princess of Wales attended the mare important parliament- ary debates.
Punctuality is a household word in the royal establishment, and when the Queen makos at appointment it is always kept.
BUSINESS METHODS.
"In business matters her Majesty is clear and sapeditions, methodical, and systematic. Her mornings are generally taken up with attending to the voluminous correspondence that arriver by avery post.
"Her secretary and lady-in-waiting submit their letters and the Queen gives instructions concerning them. She quickly grasps the main issue of a question and soon makes up her mind and has never been known to lay aside a matter on the ground that to express an opinion thereon is irksome or difficult,
Considored in actul numbers the disparity between the country and its two grest industrial rivals gives ground for serious apprehension, but when not of the actual totals but the rate of increase is taken into consideration the prospect is yet mors alarming.
