and Beardstown were visited with similar
havoc. Succeeding the windstorm ut the

was in turn followed by tho falling of
hailstones as big as walnuts. The YER
saillss hotel was unroofed, and a large store
was torn into pieces, the contents being
scattered for half mile. Two miss, of

The Shah of Persia at Nlials.

Trheran Letter to the London World
At II o'clock the royal breakfast is
served. 1t is solitary meal The King
is squatting on the ground, some fl tY
dishes are set before him. His Majesty
selects the simplest. and quenches his
thirst with buttermilk or iced sherbets;
which are served in delicious profusion
in magnificent china bowls. Dead si-
lence is observed by the few favored
courtiers who stand around the walls of
the apartments. The royal buffers si-
lently hand the various dishes. AS the
King eats he addresses those whom
he may deign to honor with his notice,
and these fortunate ones bow low, and
answer in humble Alternatives, May
l be your sacrifice, Asylum of the Uni
verse. So it is" 1T happened exactly
as your Majesty ordained;' and SO on.
The same kind of language is used by
the Royal Princess in addressing their
father, and they would not presume to
attempt to Sit in the royal presence; but
as in Persia no SOP would sit in his
fathers presence unless ordered to do
so, this is more due to filial respect
than the awe of majesty. The King rip
ses his mouth ard wipes his hands
over golden bowl, and then he rises
/; nd the meal is served to the princes.

A QUEENS DAILY LIFE.
The Happy Wife and HGnnred Consort of
the King of Italy.

The Happy Wife and Honored Consort of
the King of Italy.
From the Edliun Gd:ctc.
Queen Marguerite divides her day into
equal parts by the three meals. Break
fast is taken at / / and the younger Prin
cess affords her guests the example of an
excellent appetite. This does not. how
ever, prevent her enjoying, with her
ladies' at half.past ., hearty lunch,
for which her chef de cuisine makes it
point of honor to invent new dish every
day. Dnner is served at 7 in the even
ing. After breakfast the Queen goes out
for a two OF three hours walk. If the
King is absent She selects one Of the ladies
as her complnion. Tie evening is spent
IN conversation. The Queen talks much
and well, wastes no time in silly gossip,
and only says what she means to say.
Bat. however interesting the topic, at
the stroke OF II the Queen rises and re-
tires to her apartments. For nothing in
the world would she deviate from this
habit Of punctuality, which she dem .nds
from others as from herself.
Apart from these daily recreati"ns, the
Queen has her hands pretty full. The
early morning hours are devote to study.
She reads good deal, and almost exclu
sively serious works. AS the Queen, like
her husband, possesses an astonishing
memory, she retains many things in her
head, and has in this way acquired au
extensive rarge of knowledge in many
branches of learning. The Queen wor-
ships her husband, who fully returns her
affection. Her fondness for her little son
is so great that she will readily leave any
important occupation she may bs en-
gagged in to play cricket or ball with him,
in which the M ,ther recovcrs all he vi
vacity and plays with greater zest than
the child himself.
The Cecil Whig., 1885-06-27

On leaving them it goes to the courtiers,
and lastly the royal farrashes pick the
bones, and literally lick the patters
clean. The royal dinner, served about
9 p. NJ, is a repetition of the breakfast;
generally it is enlivened by the play ing
of the brass bands, or by the music of the
native musicians attached to the court.
