The Queen Studying Hindostanee.

Queen Victoria some time ago commenced studying Hindostance,'and her tut r declares that she Is a more apt pupil and knows a great deal more of the language than the Sultan of Turkey, the head of the faithful. The Queen has several Hindoo servants in her household, and all her conversation with them is carried on in their native tongue, a fact which perhaps brings home to their minds that her majesty is indeed Empress of India. Victoria is so proud of her accomplishments In this direction that she is sending a contribution to the Christmas number of the Strand Magazine. It will consist of a letter sent to the Shah and the wellknown letter to the English people after the death of the Duke of Clarenoe, both of which have been translated into Hlndostanee by the Queen and will be so printed In the magazine.
