The well known poetical references to spring as an “ethereal mildness” . was promulgated long before the introduc. tion of the weather bureau. Spring poets are the great propaga tors of pulmonary complaints. _ Spring, ghastly spring ! Even a spring chicken is a delusion and a snare. If the robin is really a sign of spring, he ought to be ashamed of himself. In these latter days blizzards are the only genuine “harbingers of spring.” " That “tired feeling” ingidental to spring is greatly aggravated by read- ing spring poetry in one column ofa newspaper and the weather report in another. . In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of cough mix tures. : The most effete monarcky of modern times is the one presided over by the May queen. _ Frailty, thy name is spring.

The most interesting figure in Europe at present is the young German em- peror. He is the last of the kings among men who go to the housetop to priclaim that in their sacred persons the sovereign rules by “divine right,” | and that a king is still “the Lord's | anointed.” Like to Webster's old soldier, | he is a ruler that has come down to us |. | from a former generation, or rather a former age, the dark or the middle one, when there was no pretension that royalty might not aspire to which was not readily acknowledged by the popular mind. The elder king might and did claim that a divinity did hedge him about, and that the leper who, touched only the hem of the royal | mantle would depart whole and clean, and his claims to anything, natural or supernatural, were conceded to be good. pleasant legal fiction, but it'was once a matter of popular belief. “Nobody | really belicves it now, but the young) emperor tries to make it appear as if cverybody believes it, and he has no coubt convinced himself that he does. ‘Ics he can do so in view of the criti- cisims made upon him and his conduct by even a part of the press of his own conmtry and the caricature and ridicule of the foreign newspapers, especially of the London Punch, seems ineomprehen- sible, That he is not at all like one of | pretends to be, who ruled absolutely, whose will or whim was the only law of | his subjects, is easily demonstrated, | not only by the fact that the people have their representative. legislature, who make the laws, impose taxes, and make or refuse to make appropriations, but that his old chancellor, banished does arraign and defy him and his pol- icy, and cannot be silenced or punished for his obduracy. The truth is that Emperor William is really a make-believe survivor of the old sort of kings who ruled autoeratically, absolutely, and, as was contended, were kines by divine right. He does the most extraordinary things and says them, and all the world, even in Berlin, looks on at the spectacle and laughs as if the kaiser were a king of a sprightly bur- lesque set before them on the stage. He is always in evidenee in one way or an- other, and always suggesting an elder sort of royalty.

At present the schools are mostly living by their powers of endurance. The county superin- tendents and the school boards having been removed, the State} | superintendent and the county commissioners are alone in charge.
