Literary Note.

William A. Wilkins, Of the White
hall Times, and author of the "Clev-
erdale Mystery" has another novel
ready for the press. The story opens
with tragedy, recalling to mind an
exciting episode not yet forgotten. The
principal feature of the book, and one
that furnishes its title, is the persona
ton of beautiful and scheming wo-
man, in shaping municipal affairs Of
the Metropolis, and obtaining legisla.
tive favors as Washington lobbyist
In the heroine, the author depicts the
trials besetting the life of Metropoli,
tan saleswoman. Many of the char,
acters and incidents are from actua
life, and New York City and its charm
ing suburbans contribute numerous ex
quisite scenes to witty the drama.

Queen victOria's Domestic Despotism.

The biographies of Queens and their
families prove how great is the cause
for gratitude for the privilege of not be-
longing to any of them. This dreary
fate might have happened by a mere
accident of birth. It is q narrow and
fortunate escape To be a Queen
Prince or Princess, is drudgery and
thraldom. The letters of the Princess
Alice, like all literary emanations from
persons cf royal birth, confirm this fact:
The tedious details of her cramped and
monotonous court life, give strong ev-
idence of its emptiness. But through
out the pitiful revelation this truly good
and self-sacrifcing Princess wrote oc-
casional truthful observations, Of which
the following IS one of the best:
"People with strong feelings and OF
nervous temperament, for which one is
no more responsible than for the colon
of ones eyes, have things to fight
against and to put up with unknown to
those of quiet and equable dispositions,
who are free from violent emotions,
and have consequently no feeling OF
nerves-stili less of irritable nerves.
One can overcome great deal, ouG
alter oneself, one can not. {
Queen Victoria apparently has
mania for opposition. While her sub
iects are comparatively free, her sons
and daughters are in bondage. She is
more deserving of the title ''Madame
Veto'' then was the unfortunate Marie
| Antoinnette during the French revolu-
ton. The Queen curtails sociabilityy
customs, high neck dresses, opinions
pastimes, princes and princesses..
EVERYTHING and everybody connected
with the royal family are submitted to
her august approval, and she seldom
approves of anything but lpiety., ,pru.
dence, precedence-and unlimited hard
work performed by others in her name.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are
the hardest-worked of all the court
slaves. They are forced to pass a great
portion of their time in presenting
| flags, opening schools, hospitals, char
tiles, bazars, presiding at all varieties
of public functions and State cere..
monies, and laying the corner-stones of
churches, piers. and in working for
their future popularity. And INF the
midst of their few breathing spells and
pleasures they are invariably and sud-
enly recalled to Windsor, to Balmoral,
or to Osborne House, to lunch with the
/ Queen. Their lot is not to be envied.
It must be crumb of consolation to
the socialists, the nihilists, the dyn-
amiters, the O'Donovan Rossas and
the rest of the disconnected people,

why Bottles Should Be Labeled.

The findings of coroners' juries are
luckily of more value, as q general rule,
than their recommendations. Last
Saturday one of them 'sat upon" the
body of a child who had met with its
death from drinking carbolic acid. It
seems that the unfortunate infant,
whose age was something over two years,
was in the habit of finishing off the
dregs in the ginger beer bottles opened
for its mothers customers. This IN
itself one would have thought a suffi-
Gent cause of death; but the little child
appears to have one day got hold Of q
bottle containing, not ginger beer, but
carbolic acid. The jury naturally
brought in verdict of accidental death,
but added rider to the effect that the
bottles ought to have been properly la
beled. Our school boards have done a
good deal, but fear it will be some
time before they get as far as teaching
-year-olds to read. London 1Ttts.
