Miss Blanche Roosevelt gives the
followin ing as Longfellow's account of
his visit "by command to Queen
Victoria.
IAN imposing lady in black, with
flowing drapery, came quickly forward
to greet me. It was her majesty Queen
Victoria. She extended her hand, and
I offered to take it." ssWhat," /" 1 inter-

acquiescence and continued You are

The National Dance Of Hungary.

The Hungarians dance for their very
lives. To them the practice Of the
terpsichorean art is no mere larguid
and graceful undnlation Of the figure,
but perfect wild abandon Of mirth,
and they whirl and spin and gyrate
with the velocity Of dervishes, until
their long black locks stand out straight
and their faces are ablaze with heat and
excitement. Watch them as they per-
form the csardas-theirna national dance
to the strange. wild harmony Of the
cziganok. Watch them, as they balance
themselves backward and forward,
while adapting their subtle movements
to the measure of the animating strains.
The csardas is essentially pantomimic,
and describes by mute action the ''un-
quiet course Of true love-" The music
is at first slow, and the couples
walk up and down the room in
stately manner. Then, affecting
to have made each others ac-
quaintance, and fallen victims to the
tender passion, the music grows more
lively, and stthe courtship" begins in
earnest. The lover advances toward
his enamorita, she coyly responds, and
they spin round together for a few
seconds, when, as if thinking she had
given him too much encouragement,
the maiden retires, pouting, whereupon
again he approaches; but this time she
turns her back on him ard dances off
In contrary direction. Following her,
however, he overtakes and seizes her
round the waist, and away they go
again, whirling deliciously, until she
manages to extricate herself from his
grasp. Shy and friendly by turns, now
encouraging her partner and now re-
treating with offended dignity, the
lover at length becomes chagrined at
her caprices, turns his back upon her,
and they dance dos dos for q while,
with indignant gestures, till the maid,
with signs Of repentance. seeks recon-
ciliation. The music grows faster and
faster, the lovers, in the ecstacy Of re-
union, whirl and twirl madly, nor do
they stop until both are quite giddy and
out Of BREATH when, retiring from the
scene, another couple take their place.
and the performance begins again.

The death Of the Sultan's young sis
ter recently at Constantinople has
caused great sensation, especially as
it is believed that the young Sultana
died Of malady which probably oftener
kills than coarse minded people sup
pose. The Princess Nsibe is said to
have fallen in love at first sight with
Sadyk Bey, young Turk she met at
the sweet waters, the usual promenade
of Ottoman ladies. On his side Sadyk
also fell desperately in love with the
princess. Seven months ago the Sui
tan gave his sister in marriage to Me-
hemed Bey, and the girl had not the
courage to tell her brother how deeply
her affections were engaged. Had she
done so, il might not have been fatal
passion, for the Sultan loved his sister
tenderly and Sadyk was q gentleman.
When the despairing lover heard Of the
marriage he resolved to end his days.
But, before killing himself, he wrote a
farewell letter to the princess. who fell
i'll, and in few weeks died.

LADIES' COLUMN.

Inc ueen OF Belgium
Marie Henriette, Queen Of the Bel
gians, is q comely, middle-aged woman.
more sad than joyous, though she is
credited with taking an interest in
many things. She thinks good deal
about her two grandchildren, and
writes every day to one or the other Of
her married daughters. Her green
houses, which are the finest, perhaps,
on the Continent, afford daily occu-
patton. and her horses and ponies and
ner dogs are under her supervision.
One of the latter she long carried in
her arms on all state occasions, and it
was always draped in the color Of her
mistress dress.

Little children will wear white 70
dressy occasions this summer.
Low-necked, short-sleeved dresses
are revived for small girls under nine.
Chip hats. particularly black ones,
will be much worn as the season ad-
vances.
Nothing that one can put on seems at
present questionable, SO varied are
the styles.
Shirred yoke dresses, with full skirts
and no waistband or shirring, are much
worn by little girls.
White pique bonnets and hats for
little children are sold in large numbers
to country merchants.
The newest white pique bonnet for
little girls has high Normandy crown
buttoned on to a deep poke brim.
Irish point collars and cuffs are. sold
in sets for children's wear. They make
the plainest kind Of gingham frock
dressy.
Some of the new bonnets of lace straw
are wonderfully delicate and airy, and
are studded on the brims with mock
ruby, pearl, opal, or large jet beads.
Gros-grain silks are again fashionable,
and come in every shade of green, olive,
pistache bronze dart, mignonette, chau-
dron, dove colcr cafe-au-lait, and por-
elain blue.
| Sumatra straw is new braid which
has the appearance Of heavy canvas and
is Of soft shade Of beige or buff. This
new tibre is quite as popular as Manila

! The new manila and fcelle shades Of
ecru combine effectively with all the
quaint and stylish shades Of old blue,
Pompeian red, terra Gotta, golden brown,
olive and hunters green.
The new Hcelle lace, which has sud

cream white or pale yellow linen threads.

Keep It to Yourself,

You have trouble-your feelings are
injured, your husband is unkind, your
life frets, your home is not pleasant,
your friends do not treat you fairly, and
things in general do not move pleasant
ly. Well, what Of ita Keep it to your
self. A smoldering fire can be found
and extinguished; but when the GOALS
are scattered who can pick them up?
Bury your sorrow. The place for sad
and distrusting things is under the
ground. A cut finger is never benefited
by pulling off the plaster and exposing
it to somebody's eye. Tie it up and
let it alone. Charity covereth multi
tude Of sins. Things thus covered are
often covered without scar, but once
published and conhded to meddling
friends, there is no end to the trouble
they may cause. Keep il to yourself.
Troubles are transient, and when sor-
row is healed and passed, what COM
fort it is to say: sNo one ever knew 1t

THE HESUPERINTENDENT'S TEST.

Some years ago-a good many more.
in fact, than / care to recall now--I was
wandering very disconsolately through
one of the main thoroughfares OF Mel
bourne, debating with myself the ad-
visibility OF walking down to the quay
and offering my services as steward to
the captain of the first homeward- bound
vessel on which might see the s'blue.

badly with me; every enterprise to which
I had turned my attention had either
fallen through or resulted disastrously
TO myself; end after vainly trying my
luck ia The colony for over three years,
I came to the conclusion that the sooner
I Tsconciied myself to the utter failure
o. my attempts the better it would be,
both for my peace Of mind and my con-
stitution.
In this dismal mood was listlessly
reading over the shipping announce
ments posted on an adjacent wall, when
I came across notice from the police
department, intimating. in tersely off,
cial language, that few new hands
were needed hands who were strong,
vigorous, healthy, shrewd, good horse
men, and rejoicing in the possession OF
such other natural advantages as would
inevitably ensure their success in any
line they chose to adopt. I was a good
horseman, healthy, and tolerably strong;
my shrewdness had begun to doubt
lately; and as for the rest of the desider-
ata- well, suppose was as we'll off as

days delay il nothing came Of it;

official application as per directions;
and, to make long story short, re-

The Cuckoo song.

NV tA~nt~ St"Hs
g Kitty Bell, twas sweet swear,
To wander in the spring together,
When buds were blooming everywhere
And it was golden weather.
And down the lanes beside the farm
You roamed beside me- tripping lightly,
Blushing you hung upon my arm.
And the small gloved hand pressed tightly
And the orchis sprang
In the scented meadow,
And the throstle sang
In the greenwood shadow;
And your eyes were bright
With happy dew
Could | doubt light
So divinely blue,
When you kissd and sighed
81 Will be true7"
Cuckoo
Though far and wide
The brown bird cried
Cuckoo cuckoo cuclso r.
Oh Kitty Bell, the cry seemed sweeti
For you were kind, and flowers we're spring
ing;
The dusty willow in the heat
Its woolly bells were swinging,
And in its boil the linnet brown
Finish'd her rest with wool and feather,
And we had thoughts of nesting down
In the farm by the mill, together,
And over the hill
The breeze was blowing,
And the arms of the mill
Kept coming and going;
And ' no but Love
Was between us two,
When around and above
The fittermice few,
And as night drew nigh
You swore to be truel
Cuckoo
heard the CRY
From woods hard by
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo !.
Oh Kitty Bell. 'tis spring again,
But all the face Of things looks iller;
The nests are built in wood and lane,
But you are nested with the miller.
And other lovers kiss and swear,
While behold in scorn and pity,
For "All," cry, is false and fair
And curse the cuckoo and Kitty.
And over the hill
The breeze is blowing.
And the arms of the mill
Keep coming and going;
And the hidden bird
Is singing anew
The warning I heard
When trusted you;
And sicken and sigh,
With my heart thrilled through.
Cuckoo
Wherever fly
hear the cry
"Cuckool cuckoo cuckooi"
