at this simple meal. During the repast the head piper plays various spirited tunes on the bagpipes about a quarter of mile away; for, though the queen .ond of the instrument, she believi .ha! distance lends enchantment t • th, sound. At eleven the royal 1 'y j. ues out, dressed in black, for her morning airing, in a species of bath chair, drawn by a pony and led by l-’rancis Clark, John Brown’s successor and cousin, who, of course, dis-

“1 had always been rather robust and well,” she said, "until the last two or three years, when it so happened that 1 overtaxed my strength in trying to do too much work. I had a spell of nervous prostration and was so weak all the time I could scarcely get around. "1 have also been troubled with rheumatism more or less for a long time, which grew worse after my nerves became weak. Of a morning I would feel more tired than when I went to bed, and on going upstairs 1 would give clear out by the ti me I reached the top, and my heart would flutter and feel as though

Once a week the chair is drawn down to the churchyard, and the queen inspects the grave of the faithful and departed John Brown. The village,

too, is often visited, and her majesty j tiu>e my feet and hands would be cold. I was

thinks no shame of herself purchasing serges and flannels to distribute among the poor at the one little shop kept by

Mrs. Symons. ,

At 12:80 she returns to the castle, refreshes herself with an egg beaten in milk, and is then ready to see Sir Henry Ponsonby, her private secretary, and the minister in attendance. Luncheon is the queen’s favorite meal, and she is then pleased to converse in a lively fashion, discussing the news of the day, and often showing a fund of amusing anecdote. In the afternoon she again drives out, and often stops for tea at some cottage on the estate, where a room is specially reserved for such emergencies. Humble friends of the queen are visited, and sometimes she is pleased to use her sketching materials. After her return an hour is devoted to the little grandchildren, ami there is an interval of rest before the nine o'clock dinner, after which her majesty, though she is such an early riser, usually spends two hours or more with her private secretary. Francis Clark, by the way, is of the same type as his cousin, John Brown, but, although he is deservedly loved by his mistress, he would not venture upon tlie liberties his predecessor was privileged to take. Some funny and authentic anecdotes were told me by my friend of the faithful Brown. One day, during ids time, the queen was preparing to sketch near Glassalt Shiel, where she had spent the previous night. Even the queen sometimes “gets out of bed on the wrong side,” and this happened to be stich a morning. One table after another was brought from the Shiel until the supply- was exhausted and the servants were plunged in despair, but yet none of them suited her fretful majesty. At last John Brown took one of the rejected articles and set it down rather hard and with much decision before his mistress. “They canna mak’ one for ye,” said he. The queen could but laugh; the table was accepted and amiability restored. Sometimes her majesty would appear ready for her drive in some comfortable old cloak of far from prepossessing appearance, but of this descent from royal dignity the servitor strongly disapproved. “And what kind of a thing is that ye’ve got on the day?” he would grimly say, and the good-natured sovereign would usually dress to please her attendant on the next occasion of the kind. The Indian empire is represented in the royal household by her majesty’s Indian secretary, and her personal attendent, a very handsome Asiatic, who is always gorgeously appareled in scarlet, white and gold. Apd these men have their servants and their own suite of apartments in the castle, where tlie fragrance of curry is said never to be absent. The queen is very good to her servants and takes great interest in their personal welfare. And of course the happiness of her humble subjects helps to make her happiness. But I wonder how many women would be contented with the dull and humdrum life led during the larger portion of the year by England's queen.

M139 JESSIE McVEY. "1 got medicine from several doctors, but it seemed as though it helped me some at the lirst, but in a little while 1 would Teel as had, if not worse than ever. I began to be dis con raged when I saw an advertisement of how Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy helped others who were worse off than I was, and I concluded to give it a trial. Before taking half a bottle I began to feel better. I did not feel bo tired and nervous. My head felt better and my appetite improved. I have taken three bottlis and keep on improving. I think this wonderful medicine cannot he praised highly enough, for it makes the weak strong and the old feel young

again.”

Thanks to this remarkable medicine, they who have strayed from the paths of health and started to cross tjiat perilous bridge leading to fatal diseaae, may return to the bright sunlight of a happy life, free from the sighs and sorrows of suft'ering. The world is filled with sickness and suffering, with persons who are in need of just such a valuable medicine as Dr. Greene's Nervura blood anc nerve remedy. If you are troubled with nervousness, headache, palpitation, stomach, liver or kidney complaints, al] of which indicate a more or less exhausted condition of the nervous system and disordered state of the blood, take this remedy which is purely vegetable and harmless and which has been made famous by so many remarkable cures and by healing the sick and suffering all over the land. It has entered thousands of homes where the occupants, stricken with disease, worn out with care and bowed down with sorrow, hardly know where to turn next for a helping hand, and it has raised up the sick, strengtheued the weary watcher and brought happiness to all, and has indeed transformed Wie mournful, sorrowful abode of disease into a happy, healthy home. Dr. Greene, the great specialiist in curing all nervous and chronic diseases, can be consulted at his office, ay W. 14th Htreet, New York, free of charge, personally or by letter.

The Mongolian t ook Secretively Refuse* to Make Known ill* Recipe*. Those accustomed to “Beau Bmnimel” colored waiters or neat housemaids can hardly appreciate how ridiculous a Chinaman lirst appears in the capacity of waiter, with his shaved head, snakelike queue, stitlly laundered long, white coat ami apron, pan-talet-liko trousers, and thick soled slippers: but with all, says a writer in the Washington Post, he serves the different courses "alio litc. - ’ and handles too table apjiointiiients with his long, thin fingers in a characteristic style all of his own. When a housekeeper employs u “China boy” she must in the very lieginning forcibly demonstrate to him in "pigeon English” his different duties, else when she calls upon him to perform extra ones he never fully comprehends. As an instance, a cook was one day directed by liis mistress to select and “devitalize” two chickens for dinner. He seemed never to have heard of a chicken until he saw no way out of it. whereupon the wildest confusion and cackling issued from the poultryyard. and there stood “Ah Wing" frantically swinging the neck of the last of a score of chickens, as he calmly said: “You tell me killee chicken an' 1 killee chicken.” As the household supply of coal oil was diminishing at a great rate, Ah Wing was questioned about it. Much astonished, he asked: “Do you-think 1 drink coal oil?” Mis conversation consisted much of the phrase: “You think so.” When meeting a visiting member of the family whom his mistress presented as her brother, he politely said: “You think so;” laughingly she told him she had always been taught to believe so. Chinamen are exceedingly secretive, and housewives seldom find out how they prepare certain favorite dishes, for as soon as her “chef" is watched he hastily gathers together his ingredients and utensils and retires to the pantry or discontinues operations altogether, and it is quite as impossible to get him to write out a formula of any kind. The young son of a family living near Eos Angeles once purchased an ostrich egg. and us an experiment had tlie cook make an omelet of it, re questing him to write the recipe. It goes without saving the omelet was more powerful than delicate, and the description read: “One heapee big egg he makee one heapee big omelee.” Celestials have a penchant for sweet desserts and frequently to encourage new cooks families attempt to partake of three different egg desserts at one dinner. It is a better and more economical plan to hide the egg beater in the beginning. They also possess a great fondness for lettering and executing the most fantastic designs, with cones, on pies and puddings. In thes*» they often sadly mix their Sun-day-school teachings and show a luck of reverence. Once at a large board-ing-house in Pasadena, the beautiful suburb of Los Angeles, the cook shocked all the boarders by placing before them a pie, upon which was the following exhortation: “Come to Jesus. Marengo Hall.” Another, in making out his grocery lists, always heads them with a Scriptural quotation, as: “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Two packages of cornstarch, live pounds of butter.”

A Long 1.1st of CutaNtreplies Due to th* smile of a Fretty Octoroon. She was a piquant little octoroon, with a pretty faje and stylish attire, says the New York Sun. As she started from the curb at a busy junction near the Brooklyn city hall she gave a pert glance at a well-dressed colored man who happened to halt beside her, and he turned to cross the street, too. The girl reached the opposite curb just as tlie man reached the middle of the street, and as she turned to walk on she gave another roguish glance ami a toss of her head and hurried out of sight. The man’s attention was attracted to the girl and he did not notice a swiftly approaching trolley car until it nearly ran him down; then he made a wild leap that would have done credit to a circus clown and landed on the curb on Ins hands and knees. A heavy two-horse team was coming in the other direction; the driver’s attention was attracted from his horses to the antic of the man, and one of them slipped and went down on its knees. A few yards behind the team was a trolley road switch, and, the switchman’s attention being diverted to the stumbling team, he neglected to turn the switch and allowed a car that should have turned off there to run several yards on the wrong track. Another car, following, ran over the switch, others behind it were halted, and at least four cars in all had to back to allow the first car to take the switch. Then, as tlie second car of the string started to baajk rather suddenly, it barely escaped col lision with a car running into the switch from the branch, and, narrowest shave of all, came within a hand’s breadth of running down an elderly man who was crossing the street, and who became confused by the shouting and the irregular movements of the curs. And all this the havoc of a woman's eyes. France Going to Decay. The decrease in the population of France was the subject of special discussion before a scientific congress in 1 ’aris a few days ago. Numerousreeorumendations were made by the savants to correct the evil, but the wisdom of many of them may be doubted. The doctors recommended, among other tilings, the strict execution of the law regarding vaccination, military service for two years, freedom from taxation for large families* and the heavy taxation of all bachelors over forty years old who have not adopted children. The congress also proposed a way of founding families without the necessity of civil or religious marriage—a revolutionary recommendation, which fortunately will be frowned upon by the great majority of the French people and the nations of the world.
