After all the praises lavished on her for centuries by so many of her illustrious children, it was left for this foreigner, in the age of her decay, to pay her the most complete and most splendid eulogy: Quod regnas minus est quam quod regnare mereris; Excedis factis grandia fata tuis: Nam solis radiis aequalia munera tendis, Qua circumfusus fluctuat oceanus.

The Emperor Tsait'ien smiled from ear to ear. One of the Roko Tuis, or native chiefs, from Fiji, sprang up and brandished a war club. The President then proceeded to call the other nations, beginning with Austria-Hungary and ending with Zanzibar, whose Sultan, Hamoud bin Mahomed, had come to the congress in the escort of Queen Victoria. Each contributed liberally.

But if you only knew how I am suffering myself! How can I know what to do." Mrs. Tuis was weeping; but quickly she got herself together, and answered in a firm voice, "Your old auntie can tell you what to do. You must come to your senses, my child you must let your reason prevail. Get your face washed, make yourself presentable, and come and take your husband to see your baby.

"Torriguiam Tamaris ne spernat; Leighius addet Mox terras terris, inclyte Drake, tuis." "Neat, i' faith, la!" Whereon all the rest, as in duty bound, approved also. "This for the erudite: for vulgar ears the vernacular is more consonant, sympathetic, instructive; as thus:

Tell me what is the matter?" cried Mrs. Tuis. She sought to catch the child in her arms, and when I quickly prevented her, she turned upon me in anger. "What do you mean?" "The child must be quiet," I said. "But I wish to comfort it!" And when I still insisted, she burst out wildly: "What right have you?" "Mrs. Tuis," I said, gently, "it is possible the infant may have a very serious infection.

Varina Tuis; who since the tragic cutting of her own domestic knot, had given her life to the service of the happier members of the Castleman line. She was now to be companion and counsellor to Sylvia; and on the very day of her arrival she discovered the chasm that was yawning in her niece's life. "It's wonderful," wrote Sylvia, "the intuition of the Castleman women.

Women have to suffer, dear; we must not shirk our share of life's burdens." "There is no danger of my shirking," said Sylvia, bitterly. "Come, dear, come," pleaded Mrs. Tuis. She was trying to lead the girl to the mirror. If only she could be made to see how distraught and disorderly she looked! "Let me help you to dress, dear you know how much better it always makes you feel."

I had a vision of the poor lady going in to her niece, and suddenly collapsing. Then there would begin a cross-examination, and Sylvia would worm out the truth, and we might have a case of puerperal fever on our hands. This I explained afresh to Mrs. Tuis, having taken her into her own room and closed the door for that purpose. She clutched me with her shaking hands and whispered, "Oh, Mrs.

Tuis, you may remember a circumstance which your niece mentioned to me that just before her marriage she urged you to have certain inquiries made as to Mr. van Tuiver's health, his fitness for marriage?" Never shall I forget her face at that moment. "Sylvia told you that!" "The inquiries were made," I went on, "but not carefully enough, it seems. Now you behold the consequence of this negligence."

"Oh, these modern doctors!" she cried. "I never heard of such ideas!" I could not help smiling. "My dear Mrs. Tuis, what do you imagine you know about the prevalence of gonorrhea? Consider just one fact that I heard a college professor state publicly that in his opinion eighty-five per cent. of the men students at his university were infected with some venereal disease.
