Queen Elizabctll'S Prayer Book.

There is now on view at Mr.. Edward
Joseph's gallery, in Bond street, a
very curious and, it would seem, gen
une relic of Queen Elizabeth. This is
a small PRAYER book, three inches by
two inches. in which the Queen has
written in very n"ar hand, on sixty
five leaves of vellum. prayers IN Ehg
liSh, Greek, IaIi in, French. and Italian.
The inside of the Shagrtrn case, which
is adorned with ruby clasps. contains
a pair of miniatures of the Queen aud
the Due Il Alencon. painted by NichO-
las lliliarn; and the book is evden,ly
il gage f0mOW prepared by the Queen
for her suitor, probably about 1881.
when, rs readers of Mr.. Froude will
remember. she announced to her court
that she had accepted him for husband.
The prayers are very autobioSraphi-
cal: the writer speaks of herself us
"drawing my blood from Hinges" and
thanks God for passing me from 4
prison toa palace" and placing me a
Souveraigne Prince over the people Of
England" The history of the book
can be traced from James H., who
gave it to the Duke of Berwick,
whence it passed to Horace Walpole,
and atlerward to the Duchess Of Port.
land. At her sale. in l7S6, it was
bought for Queen Charlotte for l0l
guineas. She left it to one of her
ladies i'll waiting, from whom it was
acquired by the late Duchess of Leeds;

The Advance OF Arclurus.

There will be a fine chance for pt
terity to dodge if the present doings of
the star Arcturues undergo no change.
The result Of the observations of these
dongs made at the Greenwich ObServa-
tory in 1888, numbering 200, and ex-
tending over period of five months,
is the clear establishment Of that stars
movement toward the earth dead on at
the rate of something moro than 81
miles a second, 5000 miles minute,
10000 miles an hour, 4,32O,O0O miles
day. An 50 ton gun drives projec-
tile l,400 feet second, maximum ve-
locity. Arcturus is thus coming at us
at a rate of 2)O times greater than this,
Tospeak of it as shot out Of gun is to
use faint and inadequate simlle.
This celestial projectlle is moving over
distance equal to that between the
earth and tae sun every twenty one
days. 1t has, however, 1,622O00 Of
these distances to traverse, therefore it
will not arrive for $4,000 years; but if
present observations are true, it will
there as sure as the DEGREES of God, and
our poor little earth where will it be?
Scorched, snulfed out like a yapor like
ly long before the contact, and our
whole solar system gone to slaves like
a bucket with one piece out. If we
haven't any interest in this result we
have in the conformation of things
which loreShauoWed it and this will ue
the polnt Of future observation. If
the present motion of Arrturus is Urbl-
tai, it will IN time appear stationary
and then recede; but nothing 80 far
has been discovered pointing to this.
1t is apparently, coming right along;
still Its orbit may he 50 mighty that 1t
may require years before its bend will
be indicated by a retar,latiOn of the
rate of approach, than by no perceptl-
bic motion either way, than by a re-
cession equal to its previous approach.

A Tiny Yachtman.

House spiders we know all about
but there is one little brown spider,
that lives on all our rivers md streams
more curious than any other.
In the fall of the year she builds
herself a little boat or yacht. 1t will
never upset, let the wind be ever SO
high. You could not guess what it is
made of. only a leqf!-bent together
with the strong cables the spider can
make.
Then away she goes, down tho
stream, first to one side, and then the
other. On the voyage the spider
catches small insects ON the water, as
ner tiny boat hurries on with the tide.
You cannot see her unless you look
very sharp, BECAUSE she is just the color
of the zeal she Is on!
In the point of the leaf you would
find a sort Of tent. loosely spun, where
she often goes. There she has hidden
a precious little silken ball, filled with
very small yellow eggs. But she is so
quick in her movements that before
you know it she is out oe sight and on
to the ocean. Whether she ever gets
there, or h'les away until the warm
weather comes back again, nobody

You say my cross grows none tho lighter
My greif Is only deeper, day by day;
Iwonder always how my dear is faring,
IN those broad streets where little children

Life till meet her seems one great forever
None but mother knows mothers loss;
This be your comfort, though you may wear
never
tn crown Of wifehood, you will not fear its
cross.
Is II so then, and is my life the better
That never children lean upon my knec7
That know not their clasps encircling fetter,
And no warm iireside has its place for met
You say my arms ache so, once more to hold
her;
My eyes ache so to look upon her face.
know some angels Iovo will sure enlold her,
"ris my weak self that covets still nv place.!
And think you then, my heart pains less that
Havc I held mine own warm against my
henrt;
That Gods best gift being denied mo over,
My one belonging is my petty arti
All, friend, what folly DO you not SEQ clearly,

Nothing is lost which once wc have lov'd

Rirt,s Forced 10 Take Medicine.

"lle's got a sore eye was the eX-
PLANTATION Of II clerk in bird store
who was carrying Il little green
squawking parrot. lie cleaned it with
II stick, and the parrot struggled to get
away, uttcring most doleful cries, but
was firmly held until sufficiently treat
ed, and was then put back in its cage,
where it sat and sobbed and moaned
ptiluIly. 1--WE don't have many such
things to care for, and it's good
thing, for they are hard to manage
A sore eye is dangerous always, be-
cause we can't always be sure how it
should be treated. Besides it spoils
the market value of the bird. No
body wants to buy u sore.eyed parrot
and one that has Il very bad eye is apt
to forget how to talk. Parrots seem
almost human when they are sick, for
they cry and groan and act dumplSh,
and will submit to medicine easily,
unless it is very painful, and then they
resist, just like the rest of the animal
creation.
"Olher birds act differently. Wild
birds will not take medicine. You
have TO force it down. duck them un-
der water when they won't bathe,
stuff the food down their throats
when they won't eat, and so on. Ca
naries dislike loct oring, but are very
intelligent, and take it more easily
than other birds. Bubolinks are like
