A Queen's s Thoughts.

n XoSOh AAOO3ASos
 It takes a good many operations of the mind to make up what can justly be called thought; and as the Rouma- nian Queen herself made this observa- ton, it may fairly be suggested that the title under which her collection of in- genious, witty, thoughtful notes has been brought out is not a perfectly ap- propriate one. They are all written with wonderful neatness and nicetv; most important point, considering how the whole character of the maxim may be altered by the omission or substtu- ton of word. One runs the risk of falling into some perversion of meaning in endeavoring to turn into plain Eng fish ''thoughts'' written in perfect French. The attempt, however, is worth making, and here are number of ''pen- sees" of Queen Elizabeth, selected, on no particular principle, from the first half of the volume:
 "Women are bad through the fault of men; men arc bad through the fault of women.
 "The man loves above all the woman !; the woman loves above all the children. THere, of course, the fuller meaning be- longing in French to the word teni,ae is in the English lost].
 ''The savage woman is beast of burden; the Turkish woman an animal of luxury; the European woman little of both. In the French, une bete q deur fins, horse for either saddle or shaft1.
 1.-The honest woman is to the woman who is lost only bookings glass in which the latter sees her wrinkles, and which in her rage she would like to smash.
 "A woman emits sometimes a daring opinion; but she retires shocked if she is taken at her word"
 Several of the thoughts about women are untranslated by reason of the dou- ble significance attached to the word femme. The following, for instance: La femme dtt monde reSte di6fci!cmenl la femme de son mart.
 Women, the corners of whose mouth hang down, are, we suppose, illtemper- ed; in which case the following piece oi advice is excellent: Do not marry q woman the corners of whose mouth hang down; the mouth itself might be a cherry, but you would all the same find the fruit bitter.
 ''In matters of science women are SC much accustomed to being treated as ot no account that they mistrust savan; who treat them seriously.
 "A woman is stoned for an actior which may be committed by man O perfect honor.
 ''Women gre considered unjust be cause they are impressiOnable; but i'm pressions are often more just than judg ments. It is the question of the Jury and the Judge.
 "A woman who is unhappy is flow CT exposed to the north wind; she re mains for long time a bud, and whel she ought to burst into bloom she fades "Women seek to counteract in thei children the defects of their husband and those of his family. "A woman who is not understood i woman who does not understand oth CTS. Femme incompytSc in the origi nal is of course much better than 'wo man who is not understood in the trans lation].
 ''It IS because men are wanting in ar tistic sentiment that women paint them selves; if they had any feeling for tn picturesque, rice-powder itself woul disappear.
 ''Man destroys with horns like bull or with paws like bear; woman b nibbling like a mouse, or by embracin like a serpent.
 "Men study women as they study th barometer, but they only understan the day afterward."
 ''From selfshness men make severe laws for women than for themselve without suspicion that by doing so the raise them above themselves.
 Forgiveness is almost indifference while love lasts forgiveness is imposs ble.
 You hate the unhappy woma whom you would have liked to console
 ''An excellent housewife is always a state of despair; one would often liE the house less perfectly kept and mol peaceful. .''-St. JanleS Gazette.
