■ tr».tmm i <«m>rn. >>11101,1,1, >at « , t - r •MIH KJMP mmm THE DAILY RECORD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1908. No. 881 .LECTIONS OF SAXONY.* By Lady Paget. II. •emember, as if it was yesterday, seeing for irst time our parson’s newly married young wife jding in that garden. She was a lovely English i, quite young, of the Book of Beauty type. She ore a pale green dress, rather transparent, and . fine long gold chain round her neck, with glitter- *ng rings on her fingers. The peasants who lived ih the village below were all very happy and well off. They had great well-built houses, cool in sum mer, warm in winter, under their high-tiled roofs, and many maids and serving men, though they them selves and their sons also laboured in the fields. They had much cattle in their stables, and the wives and daughters and maids looked after that, and cooked, and baked, and washed. During the long winter evenings the women all sat together in the great warm room spinning, whilst the men sang or smoked their pipes, sitting on the bench that ran round the monumental stoves. Behind their houses were great shady orchards with tarns and clear wells and rippling rivulets into which the sun only shone in the early spring before the leaves had come out. I often gazed down from the castle into these mysterious shadows, for out of one of the tarns a cry came at times, so strange, so sad and hopeless that my imagination was enthralled by it and filled by vague and wondrous thoughts, for I -was told it was the ‘Unke’ which called there, a creature never seen and which never dies. I be lieved, like every German child, that if undetected at midnight on St. John’s Eve I could slip out and spread a blue kerchief on the side of the tarn, I should find a little golden crown upon it in the morning. The castle was, as I have said, very large and rambling, with inner and outer courts and towers, and long passages filled with armour and pictures of my ancestors, which rather frightened me in win ter, for houses were neither lit nor warmed in those days, and that is conducive to fear. There was on one side a wide moat without water, in which fruit trees grew. It was carpeted with the greenest turf, and the kennels yvere there. We were kept, like* most children of that time, under strict discipline, and not allowed to roam beyond the sight of nurses or governesses, and when one day my mother, sitt ing on a. terrace close to a court which led to the kitchen, told my brother, aged nine or ten, to de liver a message to the cook, he said ‘Dut where is the kitchen?’ We children had a wing of the castle set apart for us, and no stranger ever penetrated there. We were never allowed to speak German, except on the rare occasions when we were out of hearing of our governesses, of which we always had one English and one French. Only the babies had German nurses. As we got older the staff of pedagogues was in creased by my brothers’ tutors, and drawing and music masters, and German was allowed at meals. There were always jnany guests, especially in sum mer, and nobody thought it extraordinary that some of them should remain for months together. One of them was Mr. Evelyn, an Irishman and a great fisherman. He lived with us for the best part of the year since I can remember, until my father’s death. One day a Prince and Princess Poniatowski arrived for a short visit. She was a very beautiful Irishwoman, nee Laura Temple. My parents had known them at Dresden, which was at that time full of exited Poles. They remained six or seven months, because they had no money to travel with. M. Evelyn admired his lovely countrywoman, who used to sit beside him when he was fishing, as she had nothing else in the world to do. I sometimes accompanied them, and though only four or five, quite took in the situation and was extremely an noyed, as I disliked Princess Poniatowska for al ways wearing my mother’s clothes, and what ex asperated me beyond expression was her using a white noire parasol, with a very long fringe and lined with sunset colour, which had come straight from Paris. In my baby mind I docketed the Prin cess as what I now know to mean an adventuress. My mother had a girl friend, a Countess S , who, married to a Russian diplomat at Berlin, did not know how to dispose of her summer, so she came with a number of children and Russian ser vants and settled at Puechau for six months, till my little brother spoke more Russian than German. ; (To be continued.) * From the Nineteenth Century, 'is, DRESDEN :: Two young Mm a distinguished family. 8 ^ e and P ension with Pension Crdnheim, st^se 47 co™ of MUnchner Strasse.

The Romanes lecture is absolutely outside all academic courses; and the lectures, after they are delivered are published by the University. Following this in vitation to Mr. Roosevelt came a similar one from the University of Paris to deliver a lecture at the Sorbonne. This has also been accepted. The Sor bonne was fouded in 1257, as a kind of hostel or refuge for poor students in theology and their teachers, by Robert de Sorbon, the friend of St. __ . - Louis, who gave, as a contribution towards the new High Class Educational Borne ^rl-Horlchs, Uhland Strasse 41, I. applied to the Theological Faculty* itself. For cen- 0 German lessons, private and in classes, for day pupils. | turies the Sorbonne was the chief centre of in struction in Europe, being frequented by a great number of foreigners, English, Scotch, German, Italian, Dante and Petrarch being among the last nam ed. The present magnificent buildings of the Sorbonne, part of which are due to Cardinal de Richelieu, who is buried there, are also the seat of the Faculties of Letters and Sciences in the University of Paris. The Faculties of Law and Medicine occupy separate buildings. There are about twelve thousand students in the University, and teaching is given free to all comers. In the Sorbonne is a large amphitheater suitable for important ceremonies or gatherings. The wall in front of the auditors is covered by one of Puvis de Chavannes’s greatest frescoes. In this amphitheatre President Roosevelt will speak. While like his Romanes lecture, the subject has not yet been announced, the Outlook announces that the lec ture will have nothing to do with the series which CP*\TA 1*01 Hn ♦*im *•/-! . * > 4 * . have been 0 —ring recent Among the most famous lecturers at the Sor bonne have been Guizot, Villemain, CoUtin, Fustel de Coulanges, and Nisard.

President Roosevelt has accepted ah invitation from the University of Oxford to deliver the Romanes Lecture next year. This lecture wts established in 1891, when the University accepted an offer, made by the late Oeorge James I^tnanes, the eminent scientist, who died in i89*/\o give an annual sum ill Genteel Pension for CASTRO DIETED. With the above headline a Paris contemporar- publishes a despatch from Berlin giving Presiden Castro’s present menu. It is of a more Spartan na ture than that which formed the President’s dinnei when first he reached the German capital. His din ner at Professor Israel’s establishment one day re cently consisted of one soup, a little white flesl ot chicken, mashed potatoes, and some prunes b\ way of dessert. His drink was mineral water. Tht dictator is said to bitterly regret the prohibition oi wines, especially the 1812 cognac, of which he im bibed a bottle after his coifee. PAYMENT IN KIND.

AN ACADEMIC QUARREL. A grave quarrel has arisen between two learned German naturalists, Prof. Haeckel and Prof. Brass There have been dissensions between them for some time. Prof. Brass has now formulated his charges against Prof. Haeckel, whom he accuses of falsify ing diagrams for the purpose of supporting certain theories in his work, “The Problem of Man.” Prof Brass attack is contained in a work entitled “The « £L° f , th< L Ages ” The q uarre! has become so embittered that the learned world in Berlin is ta Slis"ibu s a ?“ ntemPOrary aSkS ’ “ Tantene animis Pmprlcton, Printtfl, nd PibUn: Rtcont Vtrlag a.m.t.H.tn £>rw<<«i.-ReipoMft>le Editor: Wiutt BmmftUtr.
