The rooms are eight in number. The
first We enter is hung in white satin,
with hand embroidered blue flowers !;
the furniture, OF Louis XIV style is up
holstered in rich blue satin in cor
ner is a remarkably fine cabinet of rose
wood, ornamented with old Sevres
panels of great beauty. This room
leads into a smaller boudoir, style of
the first French empire, hung in yellow
satin, with furniture OF the same. In a
recess of window is a small equestrian
statue of the king when he was only
four years old. The small mite, look
ing very frightened, is holding the
bride in one hand and is salnting with
the other. The third room is called the
queens music room. The hangings
are red and gold, two grand pianos oc
cupy two corners, and curves and nick
nacks abound. The queen S study or
workroom, comes next. 1t opens upon
large terrace, which, in summer, is
arranged as garden. 1t is white and
gold, the furniture being old Dutch,
with inlay of colored flowers. Then

marvel of splendor and luxury. 1t re-

room specially reserved for the queens
attendants, and near the bedroom also

INDIANS AS WHEAT GRowERs.-It
has generally been supposed that Cal
ifornia, with its fertility and vast agri-
cultural resources, would prevent Ari-
zona from finding market for her ag-
ricultural products. But ten carloads
of wheat grown by the Maricopa In
dians, lately passed over the Southern
Pacific Railroad to San Francisco,
where it was sold for 50 % the 100,
the ruling price being at the time
So 10 to 50 10. The railroad carried
the wheat at 81 so per ton. The facts
show that California does not bar the
products of Arizona from the sea; that
Indians can raise good wheat; and IL
lustrate the advantages of a railroad to
a new country The Arizona wheat,
like that of Donora, is of fine quality,
The Maricopas are not the only tribe
practicing agriculture, as the Papagos,
numbering some 10000, and living
along the gulf, westward from Tecolote.
have entirely supported themselves by
agriculture. The Mohaves are also an
agricultural people, living on the Col
orado river, the bottoms of which they
cultivate with more success, through
long experience, than the whites around
them.
BRoUGHAM's FINE PoINT.-One of
Broughams earliest appearances as an
advocate was in behalf of man ac-
cused of stealing pair of boots. The
evidence as to the theft was conclusive !;
but Brougham contended that his eli
ent must be acquitted. the articles stolen
being half-boots, which he argued were
not boots any more than half-guinea
was a guinea, or half loaf a whole
one. Lord Eskgrove. knowing his man,
guessed that he was being played upon,
SO, without asking the prosecuting
counsel to reply, he at once overruled
the objection, saying: II am of the
opinion that boot is nonaen generate,
omprehending halfboot. The dis
tinction is between half-boo and half
a boot. The moon is always the moon,
although sometimes she is half-moon."

Every one has welcome for the per-
son who has the good sense to take
things quietly. The person who can
go without her dinner and not adver-
tise the fact; who can lose her purse
and keep her temper; who makes light
of heavy weight, and can wear shoe
that pinches without any one being the
wiser who does not magnify the splin-
ter in her finger into stick of timber,
nor the mote in her neighbours eye into
a beam; who swallows bitter words
without leaving the taste in other peo-
ple's mouths who can give up her own
way without giving up the ghost who
can have a thorn in the flesh and yet not
prick all her friends with it-such
one surely carries passport into the
good graces of mankind. --.
A sad looking man went into Bur
lington drug store. Can you give
me-" he asked, "something that will
drive from my mind the thoughts of
sorrow and bitter recollections ?" And
the druggist nodded and put him up
little dose of quinine, and wormwood,
and rhubarb, and epson salts and a
