Queen Christmas Rudeness.
From the London Truth.

Queen Christina, when she first went
to Spain, thought, in the interest of her
caste and family. that she ought to
ignore the Mexican government as
Lord s. wants to ignore the coming
French exhibition. AT diplomatic
reception given soon alter her
marriage, she was as gracious as she
could be to all, the members of the
Corps Diplomatique, save one-namely,
the Mexican minister-and at him she
stared as if he was a stock or stone, and
she herselfa lifeless image.
He at once fell out of rank, and sat
down on a chair behind to show that, if
the Queen meant to snub him, be could
pay her back IN her own coin. The re-
ceptiOn over, he wrote to the foreign
minister to know what the late King
and his government meant by suffering
the Queen to behave as she did, and al
lowed his letters to go into the papers,
Her excuse was that she remembered
Maximilian's execution
The Spaniards thereupon fared up,
they being courteous people, and not
understanding why Maximilian's fate
should in any degree influence the con-
duct of the Queen at public ceremony
She was reminded that in theory she
had ceased to be an Austrian, and the
sooner this fiction became a tact the
better for her.

To Avoid Conta gion.

In lecture recently given to women

the best method of preventing con-
tagion or infection. The lecturer said
The best way to prevent the poison

have the stomach full during a period
of contact or exposure. The lungs alb
sorb while the stomach is empty, but
throw off during digestion, never absorb,

The Pop uIation of Paris.

The statistical bureau of the munich

Why He Liked the Overture
From the Chicago Tribune.


The concert was at its height. The
drums, cymbals, comets, oboes, saxo-
phones, clarionets, and French horns
were filing the hall with a riotous ex-
cess of music-a pandemonium of mel
odies and stridulous protests in moral
combat. 1t was Wagner night.
On the front seat was man in the
garb of a workingman. His hands
were hardened with toll, his hair was
griZzled, and his face was scanned and
furrowed with the marks Of a long and
laborious struggle with adverse fortune,
yet his whole being vas pervaded now
with the unmistakable halo Of happi-
ness. He reveled in the measureless
content In which the mastery inter
probation of the inspired work Of the
great musician stepped his senses.
Poor and humble though he was, he
had soul attuned to song.
The music ceased. There was short
recess. A man in the second row who
had watched the glowing countenance
OF the enchanted auditor leaned for
ward and spoke to him with an assur-
ance born ofthe free masonry which a
kindred enthusiasm establishes be-
tween gifted souls.

not, my friend ?' he said.
Yes, O yes Delightful 81

And the other musical enthusiast
went out 10 get some fresh air.

Royal Divorces of the Past.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The case of the unfortunate Queen
Natalie does not stand alone in the his
Dry OF royal ladies. In our own cent
ury there have been three royal d.
vorces, but perhaps the lot of none of
them was SO painful as that Of the young
Queen of Servia. The first sovereign
who was divorced from his wife was
Napoleon /. He abandoned jose
phlne Beauharnais in order to marry the
Archduchess Maria Louisa of Austria
AS there was no real cause for the di-
Vorce, 1t was put forward on behalf of
the Emperor that the marriage was cell
ebrated by a republican priest only,
and therefore it was not valid accord
ing to the laws OF the Church of Rome.
The excuse was very weak one, and
indeed, quite absurd, as the Pope, at
the conclusion of the Concordat, had
gwen dlspensatio radice to all mar
rlages cele brated since $780, but the
Emperor's wish was at the time the SUI
preme law for the episcopal consistory
IN Paris, and the divorce was granted
on the payment of a certain fine "ac-
cording to the means Of the parties.
The most notorious royal divorce case
III recent English history is of course,
that of George ". Of England, who
wanted to get rid of his wife, the poor
Princess Caroline, from whom he had
lived separated for many years. A bill
was introduced into Parliament for the
purpose, and was strenuonsly opposed
on behalf of the Queen by Henry
Brougham, atterward Lord Brougham,
and Vaux, lord chancellor of
Great Britain, and Thomas Denman,
afterward Lord Denman, lord chief
justice of England. What these two
counsel said against the King would
be enough to get 800 counsel into prison
on the Continent or make judges faint
The bill was allowed, by small major
ity, to be read second time, but pub
lie opinion was SO much against it that
the government thought Il better to
withdraw it after the third reading. So
the Kings wish was not carried out, and
the whole scandal was in vain. The
poor Queen died a few weeks after her
accession, but the King never married
again. Crown Prince William of Wur-
temburg, the father Of the present King
Charles of Wurtemburg, was compelled,
in 1903, by Napoleon L., to marry the
Princess Caroline Augusta of Bavaria.
The marriage was celebrated on June s,
but the young couple separated the
very same day and never again saw
each other. In 1914 they were d.
vorced, and the Princess two years af-
terward married Francis l., Emperor
of Austria, and in 1925 was crowned
Queen of Hungary.

Another distinguished gentleman in

The Best Time for Cows to
Calve.

This depends somewhat upon the
kind of business you are doing with
your dairy. If you have regular
demand for milk or butter at paying
prices through the year, you want
fresh cows every month to keep up
a regular supply. But this is seldom
the case, because the rule being with
most dairymen to have the larger
part of the herd calve in the Spring,
the supply of milk and butter from
that time until Fall is too great to
maintain prices, and consequently
they sometimes below the cost
of production.
To get the greatest yield per an
nun it has been found best to have
the COWS calve in the Fall and early
Winter; then during the coolest part
of the year they will be at their
flush, and when they begin to fall off
it is about time to turn them out to
pasture, and the yield of milk in
creases. But when the COWS calve
in the Spring, then, by the time the
milk is beginning to shrink in the
Fall, they go to dry feed and the
shrinkage rapidly increases, just at
the time, too, when prices are i'm
proving.
Some object to Fall calves; say
they do not make as good COWS and
are more trouble to raise. | have
not found it so. On the contrary, I
think Fall or Winter calf is raised
with less trouble and risk than a
Spring calf, and makes quite as good
COW. In fact there is less danger
of having sick calves in Winter than
in Summer. There is more time to
handle them, and there are no flies
to worry them. When Spring comes
they are old enough to eat grass and
will grow right along and sour milk
or clabber can be fed with no risk of
i'll results.
So, as far as | can see, the best
time for most of the COWS to come in
is in the Fall or early Winter-until
the time arrives in the dim future
when large majority of dairymen
adopt this plan. Then prices will be
more nearly equalized throughout
the year, and one can have his COWS
calve at regular times to keep the
yield even. This subject is worthy
Of careful study. May times the
question of profit or loss hinges on a
less important matter than this:
When do your COWS calve, and why

Catarrh

May affect any portion of the body where the

the head is by far the most common, and the
most liable to be neglected. 1t cannot be

Ringing constitutional remedy like
A>:.oo Hoods Sarsaparilla, which,
working through the blood,
eradicates the impurity which causes and pro-
notes the catarrh, and soon effects perma-

parilla builds up the whole system, and makes
one feel renewed in strength
