A Glimpse of Queen Victoria.

Upon the high seat in front, where the
coachman should have been, sat two footmeu
in black with white silk, knee brooches and
powdered hair, and upon a corresponding
seat over the hind wheels sat two brawny
Scotchmen, gillies in the Highland costume,
with their big sabers at their shoulders. Her
majesty never goes anywhere without these
two men. When she sits upon the throne
they are behind her; when she walks in her
park they are always within call. This was
the duty the famous John Brown performed
and he did good service in having twice
saved Victorias life. One of the men saw
served with Brown, and the other was Sc
lected for his place when he died.
On the back seat of the carriage sat bolt
upright a fat little woman, with very red
face, almost as broad as tall, clad in black
silk and small old fashioned black bonnet,
with widows veil thrown over her shoulders.
She didn't hook much like an empress, and the
ladies of my party insisted that she more re-
sembled a washerwoman, but she bowed gra-
ciously to us as we lifted our hats and doubt
less recognized us as Americans, as all
Others do
There were three young ladies in the car
riage with her, dressed in white muslin and
looking very prim. They were her grand
daughters, the daughters of Fritz" the
crown prince of Prussia, and the Prince of
Wales, rather plain girls, as all tho royal
children are.-London Cor. Philadelphia

Re.yntted In tine Grave.

The remains of Mrs. Joseph Pershing
who died and was buried at Olathe, Kan.
in October, 1861, arrived in Moline. yes
terday and were for the second time con-
signed to earth-this time beside the
bones of her husband in Riverside ceme~
terry. The family previously re
sided in Moline but in the fall
of 1857 went west. After the death of
Mrs. Pershing in 81, the family returned
to Moline. The husband, Joseph Perish
ing. who was for many years a justice of
the peace and postmaster at Green River
in Henry county, died and was buried at
Riverside about three years ago. The

and the late Ruth B. Pershing sleeps be-

over twenty seven years.

How differently men and women indulge
themselves in what is called u resting spell.
Il guess I'll sit down and mend these stock
tngs and rest awhile" says the wife, but her
husband throws himself upon the easy lounge
or sits back in his armchair, with hands at
rest and feet placed horizontally upon another
chair The result is that his whole body
gains full benefit of the half hour he allows
himself from work, and the wife only re-
ceives that indirect help which comes from
change of occupation. a physician would
tell her that taking even ten minutes rest in
a horizontal position, as a change from
standing or sitting at work, would prove
more beneficial to her than any of her make
shifts at resting. Busy women have a habit
of keeping on their feet just as long as they
can, in spite of backaches and warning pains
As they grow older they see the folly of per-
uniting such drafts upon their strength, and
learn to take things easier, let what will
happen. They say: II used to think | must
do thus and so, but I've grown wiser and
learned to slight things" The tirst years of
housekeeping are truly the hardest, for I'M
tried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily

effort looking to the early closing of all
our business houses They are in hopes
of inaugurating movement for all the
stores to close at 8 o'clock each evening.
There is no class of labor where the
duties are so exacting in point of time
consumed, as the clerks, large portion
of whom are ladies, and it is no more
than proper that every reasonable effort
should be made to shorten their hours of
work. II is to be hoped our merchants
may mutually agree. when they can do
so consistently, to grant the request of
their employees.

| Fortune TelIer's Love Charm
| "Will you tell me how you work love

YES, | will tell you how it is done, but
will not give you the secret. If lady comes
| to me and wants to have some young man
| marry her / can make him marry her, no
matter whether he wants to or not and it
| don't make any difference how far away he
is he will have to come. | takes a Young
ladys handkerchief that has never been used
and boil it in that vessel | then let it stand
for three days and give it to the young lady.
She keeps it for three days and when she re-
turns it boils it for three days more. This
gathers the mind of the young man whom
the lady wants l then set up all night with
my lamp turned down and wait for the spirit
to come. When the man lays down in bed
his body goes to sleep and his spirit wanders
to my room and consult with it.. can tell
when it is here, for when it enters the room
my clock stops.
81 talk to the spirit the same as would talk
TO you, and make it engage itself to marry
the lady. Sometimes they will agree, and
then come back the next night and change
their mind. | then put the handkerchief back
in the jar, for the spirit must agree three
times in succession before the charm is surely
successful. Sometimes it takes five or six
weeks to work the love charm After the
handkerchief has been working nine DAYS
take the water out of the jar and strain it
into glass on the table beside the clock.
The spirit comes in and is dry and give it
drink of this water and its mind runs to the
woman who is having the charm worked. |
His mind will be tormented so that he will |
have to come to the woman, and | will guar |
antee that he will marry her. L can make or |
break love, and if you have lady friend and |
want charm, | can make her hate YOU for
three days and then become crazy after you"

The dentists in this city are divided
into two parties. one for maintaining in
violate the present code of ethics. and The
other for reforming it. The conserv tive
party is comprised chiefly of men of the
old school. men to whom professional
courtesy is of higher importance than
silver certificates. Most of the reformers
are young men who prefer dollars to
doughnuts. The two elements are at war
on the subject of the patentability of mod
ern inventions in dental surgery The con-
servatives contend that under the code all
inventions are made for the good of hu-
manity; that patents restrict the use Of
inventions, and consequently, humanity
suffers. Tho reformers believe that the
laborer is worthy of his hire; that if a
dentist spends ten years in perkcting an
invention he is entitled to all he can make
out of it. The name of Bohnwiel occu rs
often in the discussions on the subject.
He is reformer of the reformers The
little machine that stands beside the
chair of every dentist in Christendom is

genius and he has reaped liberal reward
of 100000 from the patent. Yet no ono
can say that he has not benefited human
