Nothing can be simpler writes the
correspondent of a Scotch newspaper)
than the daily routine of life at Balmoral
Castle, and this has always been the rule
with Her Majesty when free from the
trammels of state. The old servants at
Balmoral will tell you--speaking of by
gone days--that in Prince Albert's time
Balmoral was a picture Of domestic felic-
ity, "a home full o laughing BARNS.
"And ah said one, who had been q
favorite nurse, the Prince was fond o
his bairnies, and they doated on their
father. He used to play with them in
the corridor-and sic dafiin and glee
The Queen, looking out of her room,
would stand and watch them with smile
on her face. And when the fun grew
boisterous, she would raise her finger
with a gentle hush-but the mither's
heart was wi them. The Prince is
everywhere held in loving remembrance.
Her Msjesty's habits are very simple.
About seven she prepares for rising,
breakfasts at nine; after breakfast she
has her dispatches to look after, for even
in her mountain retreat the Queens
"mind Is Ia en- up wi the things O the
state fThen follows private CORE
spondence, heavy item in the Queens
list Of duties. Two special messengers
convey the dispatches to London, one to
relieve the other, as they travel day
and night. Luncheon is at two clock,
and in the afternoon the Queen usually
takes an airing in her carriage. On the
lawn in front OF the castle picturesque
white tent stands, and Her Majesty
passes much Of her time in that snug lit
tie corner. During meals the Queens
piper plays in front of the windows. Of
pipers there are several; Rosa, the
Queens piper, is chief, and it is a sight
to see the handsome old Highlander in
full costume, marching proudly to time
as he plays pibroch. The pipes are
. sight OF themselves. with their rich
velvet mountings and gay streamers, and
royal banner floating IN the breeze.
The Queen dimes at halfpsst eight; her
own table is spread in the library Since
the Prince Consort' death Her Majesty
has not made personal use Of the dining
room; the ladies and gentlemen Of the
Court dine there. IL is one Of q suit OF
magnificent apartments, all Of which are
carpeted with Stuart tartan. the hang
ings and draperies being Victoria tar
tan. The ornaments in the rooms are
all Scottish In their tendency. The
library, which is the inner most apart
ment in the suite, is a cosy, comfortable
room, small in comparison with the
others, and it has look Of brightness
with its glittering books and CHEEKY fire,
and snow-white table cloth and twinkling
tapers. There is no Ostentstious display,
however, in the Regal sanctum. The
arrangements Of the room are Of the
character, even to the dinner
table. A very select party dine with her
Majesty, not even the Princess Beatrice.

Alberts room. She comes quietly iu
to dinner, with her knitting in hel
hand, and retires early II is well
known that Her Majesty is woman Of
method, and we're it otherwise she could
never get through the amount of work
she does She is very fond of the open
air, and in all weathers she is to be seen
abroad. A rainy day does not keep her
within doors; in her waterproof and
umbrella she de6es the elements. 1t is
quite common occurrence to see her
walking in the grounds under drizzling
rain. The weather, in fact, has no in-
iluence upon the royal programme. So
far as concerns Her Majesty's "consti.
tutional airings, good stout umbrella
carries her bravely through pelting rain
or powdering snowdrfts, whether on foot
or seated in her open carriage, or trott.
ing on her Highland pony. But there
can be no doubt our Queen is a hardy
woman; at least, she has no zine lady
fancies" in the matter of constitc tional
delicacy. She does not bother with
superauous wrappings when she faces
the smell mountain breeze; she
dresses consistently with the climate
and the weather, and a fresh, cOmely,
sensible-looking lady she is in her com
Portable plain jacket and broad-brimmed
straw hat. The Queens walks and
drives are not confined within her own
policies; she crosses the Dee almost
daily, and is quite as often seen on the
opposite side of the river. She always
uses an open carriage, but not always
the same. Sometimes it is a wagonette
sometimes a low pony phaeton. No
guard of honor accompanies the royal
equipage, however. Her trusty al;
tendant, John Brown, sits on
the box beside the coachman,
and when there is not room for him
there, he rides on horseback by the side
of the carriage. No fuss attends the
Queen. An outrider little in advance
of the royal carriage clears the road,
and the Queen goes quietly on her way
with smile and nod for any one who
chances to meet her. But as a rule Her
Majesty is not intruded upon when she
ventures beyond the royal domains, un-
less on Sunday, and then it is strangers
only who run after her. The cottagers
do not annoy her, and she comes and
goes without molestation. Indeed, they
make point of keeping out OF the way
when the white horse of the outrider ap.

ever, happen to come Unexpectedly on

HOW SMITH SHOT 4 DUCK.

Some clever wsgs reside on the
coast Of Connecticut, in the county OF
New London, near the little town of
Jordanville, and now and then they per-
petrate a practical joke. Leunging in
the room of an old mansion built one
hundred and fifty years ago, and look
ing through narrow window and a
mist of rain out upon the turbulent
waves of the sea, We listened few days
ago, 10 story that had its comical side
A young agentleman from New York,
who, ior convenience sake, we win call
Smith. was on visit TO Jsrdanville, the
special object OF the visit being sport.
Fishing had been tried, With Indifferent
luck, when it was proposed to take the
guns and go after ducks. The PROPOSE
ton was received with favor, and in a
short time the party we're equipped and
on their way to a neighboring pond. An
old mill stood at the head Of the pond,
and into this one OF the gentlemen n
crept with the avowed object of com.
manding the water from that point The
three other gunners were to take shel
tered positions further down. As they
stealthily approached the banks they
discovered what they supposed to be =
fine teal swimming in the water.
SMITH
was all excitement now. Lifting his
hand as sign for silence, and with a
whispered, tremulous. hush upon his
lips, he advanced cautiously in order to
secure better position for taking aim
But fearing that the duck would fly, he
fred more quickly than he would have
done in cooler moments. The fowl
dived at the fash, and the shot whistled
harmlessly over the water. Smith was
much put out at this miss, and fearing
that one Of the other gentlemen would
get well directed shot in, be stood, with
cooked gun in hands, waiting for the
duck to rise. Presently it came to the
surface and the excited New Yorker let
drive at it with the second barrel. Again
the duck dived, and no crimson trail was
left behind to tell that the shot had
taken effect. Smith loaded his gun, and,
while doing so, each Of the other gentle
men blazed away at the teal. But the
bird had charmed life.
SMITH
was now determined to do terrible exc
cution. His nerves bad become more
steady, and as the duck came up within
range. be took deliberate aim and pulled
the trigger. Imagine his disgust as he
saw the bird again 60 down apparently
unharmed. As the duck Feappeared,
he fred quickly, but without effect. Re
now was mad with disappointment, aud
swore roundly at the gun. Gritting his
teeth after the fashion Of thoroughly
vexed man, Smith loaded once more.
But both barrels failed to bag the OBJ
stinate teal. The small supply OF am
munition was now exhausted; besides 1t
was growing dark, and the hunters were
Obliged to retrace their steps to the
house empty-handed. Smith did not

Chinese Drink.

The prevailing idea that tea is the or.
binary drink of the whole Chinese peo'
pie is pronounced, by a writer in Peter
maan's Mittheulungen, to be a mistake,
THE people Of the lower classes" be
says, especially in the northern prov.
inces, only know it as a luxury, and
drink hot water with as much pleasure
as the wealthy do their tea. Even in the
provinces where tea is grown tea drink
ing is not general. The plant grows on
hills, often not less than thousand feet
above the nearest valleys, the inhabit-
ants of which must therefore buy their
tea from planters which they don't
often do, taking in its stead hot water,
or what is more common, an infusion Of
the leaves OF other plants which grow
wild in the fields. These facts seem 10
lead to the inference that the use OF tea
in China has arisen from the aversion of
Chinese to drinking cold water.

Mr.. Greeley has been represented by the
opponents OF his election as weak and
