What the aueen's Book is Not. sIa.o,,. .n.a Iaa II Mil n.-.L..

al
 As the Queens literary appreciation is so keen that she felt it presumptuous to sign her name in the journal of Sir Walter Scott, it is doubtless in her power to attain something higher than the very commonplace level of the Journal in the Highlands. B Almost all these better passages, however, appear to have been suppressed. In the same way, the journal suggests an entirely mistaken i'm pression by the prominence that is given to John Brown. Lis no doubt natural enough that as Prince Albert was the hero of the first series of leaves from the Royal journal, 50 John Brown should be the hero of the second, for both series relate solely to the days spent by the Queen in her Highland retreat. But judging only from this book the casual reader would imagine that of all her subjects no statesman, scholar, poet, divine or man of letters held such high place in the Queens of course 8 royal journal in which John Brown is not the central figure, but that, for reasons of State, cannot see the light which is somewhat unfortunate.
 There is another great omission from the Queens new book. Everyone knows how keenly her Majesty sympathizes with all the sorrows of her subjects. There is no railway collision, no mining accident, that does not call forth ready expressions of wemanly sympathy. Her public spirited patriotism is no less notorious. Yet if we were to judge from this journal alone we might almost i'm agine that the slaughter of whole regiments of her own subjects in the Zulu campaign moved her less deeply than the fate of the young French adventurer who was speared in 8 quarrel in which he had no concern In like manner, the royal interest in the success of the campaign in Egypt seems to be over shadoWed by the mothers concern in the safety of the Duke of Oonnaught. All this is natural enough, and when it is remembered that these entries are but fragments repre- senting the personal and domestic side of the Queens life, they do no harm. But everyone will not make that allowance, and

ExttmctIon of the Arctic Sea Cow, the
 Great Aak, and the DOdo.
 From the New York Sum-
 About 1OO years ago the voyagers to the Arctic seas were familiar with large and powerful animal resembling our manstee; in fact, it was 8 northern representative of this animal, called the Rhytina. It was extremely common, seemingly taking the place of the cloven footed creatures among the nilk-giv- CTS of the In general appearance the Arctic COW WAS stupendous spectacle, at taining when full grown length of 35 feet and weight of several tons. The general eoler was dark brown; the skin thick and lsathery, covered with thick, bristling hair that matted together, forming protection from the ice and cold, and was compared in appearance to the bark of tree The head of the sea COW was small in proportion to the animals size, and instead of possessing teeth, was provided with two curious mastics4Ging plates-one in the gum, and the other in the under jaw. The tail somewhat resembled that of a whale, having two Aukes The fore fins or paddles were blunt and without nails having instead thick growth of bristling hairs. Such was the general appearance of the animals that when first discovered were pasturing in vast herds among the seaweed of the shore. They showed no fear of the men, even allowing themselves to be touchsd by

When ''the Book of Mormon" was pub lished in 1880 there was published with it 8 certificate of three men, afterward known as the ''three witnesses,' who declared that they saw an angel of God come down with the golden book which Joseph Smith inter- preted. Subsequently all three of these men renounced Mormonism and declared their testimony false. David F. Whitmsr, one of the three, is now living, in his eightieth year, in Missouri. He was 8 brother in-law of Oliver Cowdry, who wrote copy of the book for Smith.

An interesting illustration of the absurdity of the marriage laws of England has just been given. parishioner and his wife at Epping were refused the Holy Communion by the vicar on the ground that the woman was the mans deceased wife's sister. The husband was eighty-two years old and the wife seven- ty-seven, and they had been married. fifty years; but Dr. Claughton, the bishop of the diocese, apparently held that they both came within the definition of notorious evil flyers" and sustained the vicar in his action, The attorney general, however, has now pointed out that the marriage, having been contracted before Lord Lyndhurst's act, is strictly valid, and the vicar has been advised by the bishop that the two parishionsrs ''can- not legally be repelled from the Holy Com- munion.''
