Th9 Queen OF En- gland.

saw the Queen in Edinburgh. She
IS a fat stout old woman, with rosy
face and dark gray hair Her features
are more German than English, and they
look very inotTensive and uncharacter-
lStIc. She is probably women of great
intellectual strength and of queenly
thOught, but, as to appearance, YOU may
see better faces at any reception in
America or IN any days shopping. She
was ON her way to the Edinburgh Expo
sltlon, and the streets of Edinburgh were
cleai ed of carriages and cars during her
march. The enthuslam of the people
was not great, and the cheer IS she
passed along was not equal to that Of an
American procession in which the Presl-
aeht takes part. Queen Victoria with
TWO OF her daughters sat in a double
seated carriage hauled by four horses,
and half dozen lords and dukes rode
IN front of ana behind her. As the car
rage passed along, the three women, the
one old and the others middle-aged and
younger, kept continually bobbing their
heads IN rowing response to the cheers
OF the crowd The whole scene was a
ridiculous one.
A day or two later ! saw Queen Vic
torla again. At this time she had been
driving about the city seeing its sights
l here were crowds gathered on the
streets to see her pass Ivy, and, A. before,
when her carriage came tie police and
soldiers cleared the way for it. First
the police came, then carriage with
one OF the Queens retinue and police
man, then the outriders in gorgeous un-
liorms, and lastly the Queen in her
carriage with the Princess Beatrice and
her husband. During part of the ride
there We're no policemen stationed on
the sidewalk, and it seems to me that a
dynamite fiend would have little trouble
IN assasslnating Queen Victoria If he
wished to, Clercland Leader.

MR.. MOODY WAS BOYCOTTED.
The C OOd Little Boys Were Not TO be Left
Behind.

ID. Il. Moody has good story to tell
of the benevolent capitalists who some
| times visit him at his pleasant North
| field home "You business men don't
get all the benefit of this labor agita
| tion," he sometimes says. II know how
it Is. I've been boycotted 1nyself." ;"
'You, Mr.. Moody 2" they ask in sur
prise; 1--WE thought you were way out
of range of that sort of thing" "No, |
amt, replies the genial evangelist, and
with twinkle in his eye he tells this
story of his experience with the labor
agitators. 1t was several years ago,
when his boys school at Mt. Hermon
had its beginning. There wasn't much
to the school then except two or three
buildings, two small classes of boys, and
vast eXpanse of pasture land, which
now, MIR. Moody says, he is making to
blossom like garden. But it was alive
with woodchucks then, and in their
ages of undisturbed possession they had
burrowed through and through that
pasture land till they must have had an
underground network of holes that
crossed each other like veritable laby-
rinth Mr.. Moody was inclined to dis
pute their possession, and offered the
boys twenty-five cents head for their
capture. The boys were fully alive to
their opportunities, and many were the
hunting parties that came home laden
with dead woodchucls, which were
promptly exchanged for silver quarters
by their worthy employer. A little
band of Indian boys especially distin-
guished themselves on the hunt, having
the advantage over the other boys by
reason of an early training; but no one
had reason to complain, tor time smiled
on them all in those days, and dreadful
was the woodchuck mortality.
By and by Mr.. Moody found that his
outlay for woodchucks was beginning to
be an appreciable drain on his purse !;
when wOodchucks were so plenty twen-
five cents was altogether too high a
price to pay for them, he reasoned, and
one morning he announced to the school
that he would be compelled to cut down
the bonus on wo0dchucks from twenty
five cents to ten. There was no help
for it. The die was cast; and however
plentiful, it was out of the question
killing wOodchucks for ten cents head
when they had been getting twenty five
cents. So the boys had an indignation
meeting, and the Indians were foremost
in urging the most approved methods
of labor agitation known to the craft ::
the other boys gave hearty assent, and
d boycott was voted on Mr. Moody
which has not been broken to this day.
No student at Mt. Hermon was to kill
any of Mr.. Moody's woodchucks for ten
cents; they would see the woodchucks
eat up the foundations of their board
ing-house first; they would wait for de-
veiopments. A committee waited on
Mr.. Moody and informed him of the ac-
ton of the assembly. Mr.. Moody re-
mained firm, and the woodchucks once
more disport themselves on that blue
orthodox mount, feeling that there is no
man TO make them afraid. Springfield

CuriOus Effect Of Arctic COld.

A person who has never been in the
polar regions can probably have no idea
of what cold really is; but by reading
the terrible experiences Of Arctic travel
ers in that icy region some notion can
be formed OF the extreme cold that pre-
walls there When we have the temper
ature down TO zero out of doors we
think 1t bitterly cold, and if our houses
were not as warm as at least sixty de-
grees above erO, we should begin to
talk of freezing to death. Think, then,
of living V ere the thermom, ter gees
down to thirty five degrees below zero
in the house, IN spite of the stove! Of
course In such a case the fur garments
are piled on until man looks like a
great bundle of skins. DIR. Moss, of
the English polar expedition of 1915
and 1876, among other odd things, tells
of the effects of cold on wax candle
which he burned there. The tempera-
ture was thiity-five degrees below ero,
and the doctor must have been consider
ably discouraged when, upon looking at
his candle. he discovered that the flame
had all it could do to keep warm 1t
was so cold that the flame could not
melt all the wax OF the candle, but was
forced to eat its way down the candle,
leaving II sort Of skeleton of the candle
standing There was heat enough, how
ever, to melt oddly shaped holes in the
thin walls of wax, and the result was "a
beautiful lace like cylinder of white,
with tongue OF yellow flame burning
inside it, and sending out into the dark
ness many streaks OF light This is not
only Il curious effect of extreme cold,
but it shows how difficult it must be to
find anything like warmth in Tlace
where even fire itself almost ge' cold.
. he wonder is that any man can have
the courage to willingly return to such
n bitter region after having once GOT
safely away from it. and ct .hc truth is
that it is the very hardship and danger
which attract them - Eciee &c Na q. he,

BLOOMING OYER THE DOOR.

A cottage, all fitted and furnished,
Stands daintily over the way,
And here young pair to housekeeping
Came promptly the first day of May;
The place seemed homelike and cozy,
The sun shone bright on the floor,
Yet one dewy eve, saw them planting
A rose to bloom over the door,
All, how they watched over its growing,
And trained it with tenderest arts,
And swift as its bright buds unfolded,
The love of home grew in their hearts.
The husband came home in the evening,
All weary and worn from the store,
To find the wife's welcome the sweeter
For roses that bloomed DER the door.
But they say, Glove flies out of the window,
When poverty enters the door,"
But against all trials and troubles
The two young hearts garnered full store,
For, when fell the hush of the twilight,
They whispered anew loves sweet lore,
Wove closer the bonds of affection
Meath roses that bloeIaad Ger the tlJor.
And when the dark days closed around them
And poverty's wave overbore,
To keep the dear home how they struggled,
Where the roses bloomed over the door.
And now, all their ''trial time'' ended,
They dwell in the sunlight once more,
And love brightly CLEANS on the hearthstone
Where roses bloom over the door,
Ye new-mated pairs who are building
Your home nest, now heed impIore,
This lesson-that love fingers longest
Where the roses bloom over the door.
So We who count home more than shelter.
Plant ere the bright sprin gtime is DER
To make home the brighter and dearer-
A rose to bloom over the door,

Sunday on visit to some relatives, and
one tells the following amusing incident
which occurred while they were en-
route over the Niagara branch of the
Michigan Central, her companion being
the victim. A dlminutivo boy was en-
deavoring to please the passengers and
get a few pennies by singing comic
songs in the car. When he had finished
and was passing along the aisle with
outstretched palm, making his collec-
tions, the lady in question said to him
"Don't you know it's wicked to sing
songs on Sunday" The youngster
looked at her for a second anG, with a
twinkle in his black eyes, replied E:
''Dcn't you think It's wicked to travel

isNOw, bur is Sure She Will Not Wan.
Mr.. James R. Cunning of Vanderpoel,
Green 81 Cunning, who, it has been
stated, acted as the Intermediary Le-
tween Victoria Morosini Sehelling and
her father, G. P. Morosini, looking to
some sort of reconciliation, arrived in
the steamship America from Europe on
Wednesday night and was at his Office
yesterday. He said to reporter of The
SUN:
Gas the professional adviser and per.
sonal friend of Mr.. Morosini, / can say
very little about this matter. Mrs.
Schilling did come to see me. In so
many words she said she was tired of
the relationship between herself and
Schelling, and perhaps she intimated
that she wanted to leave him. Mr..
Morisini did not see his daughter in this
office, and | do not believe that he has
seen her since she left her husband. |
do not care to say whether Mrs. Schel-
hno's wish to leave her husband was
communicated to her father. The story
that Schelling received any money from
Mr.. Morosini is untrue. Mr.. Morosini
never gave him copper, you can be as
sured of that. Mrs Schelling is not at
her fathers home in Riverdale. she is not
in convert, and she is not with rela-
tives of the Morosini family. do not
know where she is, but the story that
she has run oil with another man is a
cruel and indubitable falsehood. / do
not know that Mr.. Nor sini is paying
her bills, but feel that he would do so
were she ever III need.
Mr.. Cunning insisted that any part he
had taken in the matter was entirely in
voluntary, and said that when he sailed
for Europe the day after Victoria left
Schelling he did not know that Victoria
had carried ont her purpose, as indicated
to him, of leaving her husband.

SAGE AND SINGER.

Within an old town by the sea
A wise man and a singer dwelt;
The wise man spoke laboriously,
And taught with pain the truth he felt.
The singer scattered everywhere
His careless music to the air.
The wise man and the singer both
Lie now within the churchyard green;
Summer and spring have plighted troth
An hundred years they have not seem
No traces Of their vanished feet
Are in the old igh-gabled street.
And of the wise mans labored words
Not one is now remembered well;
But still, as clearly as spring birds,
The singers simple love songs swell
And in the old town seem part,
OF every home and every heart.

Gladstone and the Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone's party when travelling
in Germany some years ago, was at one
part of the road in the greatest danger
After passing a sudden turn in the road,
herd of cattle, headed by an enormous
bull, met the carriage. The bull, in
stead of going aside, obstinately waited
just in front of the carriage, and the
youthful herdsmen were unable to move
him from where he had taken up his
position. Nor was the drivers whip,
which was vigorously applied to the
bulls back, of any use, for, instead of
frightening the bull, the lashing excit-
ed the horses, which began to rear and
shy till the situation became highly
critical. The ladies shrieked, and
when at the last moment Mr.. Gladstone
jumped down, took one of the wraps,
approached the bull sideways, and
threw the blanket over the animals
head. The surprised bull stood motion
less, and allowed rope to be tied
round his horns and his feet to be
tethered. Obedient as a lamb he fol-
lowed his leader, and led him back to a
less narrow part of the road, the whole
herd following close behind The road
was free, and without further disaster
the tour was concluded. Mr.. Gladstone
was, of course, greatly complimented
and congratulated for his presence of
mind and his energetic action, of which,
however, ne would not hear, and dis
missed the subject smilingly with few
words to an intimate German friend
with whom he walked the rest of the
mountain: "Never mind; it was the
same with this fellow as it is with John
Bull. You must catch him by the
horns if you want to overpower him.

Hints for Housewives.

In cleaning silver kerosene may be used
with advantage.
Carpets may be frightened by busting
with damp flannel mop.
Egg stains can be removed by rubbing
with common table salt.
Stains on wood can be removed with
strong vinegar or salts OF lemon.
Leather chair seats may be revived by
rubbing them with well-beaten white of
egg.
Sandpaper will whiten ivory knife-han-
dies that may have become yellow with use
or age.
White paint that has become discolored
may be nicely cleaned by using a little
whiting In the water for washing.
A good cement for china is ordinary car
riage varnish; II put together neatly the
fracture will be hardly perceptible, and it is
not affected by water.
For cleaning brasses belonging to m l.
hogany furniture use either powdered
whiting er scraped rottenstone, mixed
with sweet oil, and rub on with a chamois
skin.
A window open slight distance both
top and bottom, and n chimney draught
also open, are the only sure ways Of keep
ing pure air in sleeping room whose doors
are closed.
To prevent polished steel from rusting,
after cleaning, and when not iu use, take a
cloth, with very little sweet oil on It, and
wipe the articles over SO as to slightly but
evenly oil the surface.
Steel knives which are not In general use
may be kept from rnsting II they are dipped
