QUEEN VICTORIA FLEsHING UP.-Queen
Victoria, the gossip says, is rapidly fall
ing in flesh, after the habit of her family.
Her bust has become very large; her robe
conceals the stoutness of her person, but
that may be surmised from her full face,
rudy cheeks and unm;stakable and de-
cided double chin. The dress she wore,
on the opening of Parliament, is said to
have been one of extraordinary richness.
The royal attire consisted of body of
silver tissue, the bottom of Wilhelm
lieu of founce a fall of silver
bullion nearly foot deep. A robe Of
crlmsonyelvet, with tippet and trimmings,
and sleeves of ermine, enriched with gold
lace, and fastened in front with massive
rsbe of gold, with large golden tassels
hanging down in front, covered the dress.
Round her neck was a necklace of dia.
Inonds. Herearrings were diamonds also.
Her hair, as usual. was in plain braids,
and she wore rich and very becoming
tiara of diamonds and pearls.

SUNSHINE IN TIE SANCTUM.-Thee editor
Of the Detroit Advertiser enjoys daily the
company Of two beautiful canary birds,
which are allowed the liberty of his sane
tum. ALI day long, he says, the little
twittering fellows are skimming around
his head and ears as joyfuily as if there
was 70 labor in this life, no wearied and
troubled souls, and all were as CAV and
happy as themselves. When one feels
mischlevous he perches himself on the
desk in front Of the anxious writer, and
turning his head from side to side, peeps
at him, first with one bright, roguish eye,
and then with the other, as much as to
say, Come, old fellow, get up and be
merry" Occasionally, for the purpose
OF attracting attention, the canaries tip
over wsfer-box, or rattle the steel pens.
They have never attempted composition
yet, although on one occasion a page of
the editors manuscript was mistaken for
the tracks of their inky feet.

The METHODIST Book CONCERN
From an article published in the New
York Tribune on the book publishing
houses Of that city, we extract the fol.
lowing in reference to the Methodist
Book Concern:
The Methodist Book Concern is under
the direction of Carlton & Phillips, No.
200 Mulberry street. The first move.
1nent toward the Book Concern was as
early as 1874. In 1889 one person,
stationed in Philadelphia, was at the
same time a local preacher and the sole
editor and agent for the publica tons au-
thorized by the conferences. In 1904 the
Book Concern was removed to New York.
An interesting account of its progress
since then may be found in DIR. Bangs's
able History of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. " The property in possession OF
The Book Concern, on the 31st of De-
cember, was estimated S719,755, and its
actual capital at $508, 146. The publica-
tons of the Book Concern have been nu-
merous, weighty and judicious. No in
Sltution of the Methodist Church has
had a greater or happier effect upon its
character and destinies.-- The present
managers of its affairs have been eminent
~ fortunate in their agents. who have
endeavored to infuse spirit of liberal
cultivation into the church by every pos
Sible improvement of its literature. The
Methodist Quarterly Review, edited by
DR. McClintock, is deserving of place
with the best Reviews of the age, for
scholarship and the elevation of its tone
and purposes. The National Magazine,
euited by the Rev. Abel Stevens, is a
monthly rivaling in literary character,
as well as in mechanical execution, the
best publication of it's class in the ooun-
try.
