England's queen as a Woman.

queen Victoria, writes T. c. Crawford
to the New York World, has a great fond
ness for work She enjoys studying
public business. She speaks French and
&c man as well as she does English.
Within the last three or four years she
has studied Hindoostanee and is now
able to use that language in giving di-
lie tons to the Hindoo servants on duty
at Windsor. Her one amusement is
water-color sketching. She enjoys also
reading, but prefers to have some one of
her ladies in waiting read to her. She
never goes to the theatres. Last year
she attended two shows. that of the
! Wild West and the circus at the Olympic.
Upon each occasion the exhibition was
! given solely for her benefit. The pub
I lie was not admitted. A great many at
/ tempts have been made to get the Queen
to 90 to some one of the theatres of Lon
don, but without success. She has been
/ tempted once or twice to give a con-
ditional promise to come to a concert at
the Albert Hall. This half promise has
been secured through the influence of
Albanl, who is great personal favorite
OF the Queen and who is often summoned
to Windsor Castle to sing. But in spite
OF the half promises the Queen never
comes She lives really most narrow
and secluded life. 1t is life of routine
and humdrum, with very little in it in
the way of excitement or variety. She
has no general society, and with the fear
of appearing in public takes no real
pleasure in England outside of her cas-
tie and grounds at Windsor She has a
large stall of ladies in waiting who are
continually coming and going. One or
two OF the older ones are her especial
favorites. Lady Ely and the Duchess of
Athole are her two great favorites. To
them in private life She is not the Queen.
She is considered one of the richest
women in Europe and no one appears to
have any correct idea of the amount of
her wealth. She has an income from
Parliament of over 1900, coo a year.
l have heard her income from public
and private sources placed as high as
SIS, OUO, 900. She is very Quiet in her
dress. She is not fond of wearing Jew
elry. She prefers the plainest dresses.
When she Is going about the ordinary
affairs of life she wears either some
black cashmere or soft silk goods devoid
of ornament or trimming 1t is the dress
of respectable lady of the middle class
and is even more bare of ornament than
the plainest and most simple people Of
that class would Il, erage. She has such
dislike for display that this taste has
been used in the way of criticism. Some
of her critics have accused her of mis-
placed confidence Much of the Queens
income is invested in private property all
over the world. 1t will doubtless all
come 10 the Prince of Wales, who will
know how to make more popular use
of this great fortune which has accumu-
lated during the fifty years of the Queens
reign. l have heard the fortune esti-
mated to be somewh re in the neighbor-
hood of $500 OO0, 100 There is not
much doubt that the Prince of Wales
will survive his mother and that ne will
some day rule over England as King.

1t IS common mistake to suppose
that an angry bee is certain TO sting on
alighting upon a human hand. ON the
contrary, she will always examine the
skin very carefully first with the
palpi-very delicate and nervous
feeling organs, which are situated near
the sting. 1t may seem that she stings
at once, and without care or reflection;
but bee can do Il great deal in very
short space of time. in proof Of which
it may be mentioned that .she can flap
her wings more than 400 times per sec
ond, and that each flap involves the ex-
tension and contraction, througha nerve
impulse, of the muscles employed in the
wing movements This being the case,
as Mr. Cheshire says, 1--WE shall see at
once that the no time difficulty is re-
moved" When a person has been stung
by bee he should remove the sting i'm
mediately, 'if possible, by the nail, run
ming it in the direction opposite to that
by which it has entered On no ac-
count let him take hold of the sting
with his thumb and finger, or q forceps.
for then he will probably squeeze more
of the virus into the wound from the
poisoned bag, which is generally left
attached to the sting. Although the
virus of bee sting is a strong aid. it
does not always follow that an alkali
Will cure it Much depends upon ;he
temperament and constitution OF the
patient, and. while arnica montana and
ledum palustre will give relief in many
cases, in Others they are in urious We
may dismiss The subject Of bee stings by
giving the young beekeeper two pieces
OF cOmfort-the first, that at swarming
time bees are nearly always in an ex.
ceedinsly good temper; the second, that
at each time he IS stung he will probably
become less susceptible to the effects Of
bee poison. Saturiay Rerier.

Water of Rarest Purity.

The best water is that which has gone
deepest in the earth, where there is the
tightest pressure atmospheric and telu-
ric Continued and intensified filtration
has refined it; but it is here and not in
its open air exposure, before or after,
that the water gets effective oxidation.
The remarkable fact that water sbsorbs
oxygen in something ike geometricai

with the other equally important fact
that under certain pressure and temper

these conditions, protracted for the water

Freaks Of Memory.

Absence of mind produces some
strange freaks of memory. Charles
Lamb used to tell extraordinary tales of
a friend Of his who was as absent minded
as Fontenele or Sir Isaac Newton. On
one occasion this dreamy individual
walked out Of Charles Lambs lodgings
at Ellington into the New River. At
another time the absent-minded Que, who
WAS a Baptist minister, fell into deep
reyerie while baptizing an old woman,
and held her so long under the water
that she was nearly drowned. The
notorious Lord Lyttleton, the day after
his wedding, stepped into his carriage
before the widow whom he had made
his wife, and then drew back with a
ha>ty apology to 'dear Mrs Peach"-
her former name. Sometimes the strug-
gle against Observation-Disclosures results in
worse social blunders. There is a story
OF a family, who had made fortune in
the musical trade, visiting some country
neighOOrs, who were especially DESTROYS
not to allude TO the former occupation
Of their visitors now settling down as
country gentry. The hostess carefully
kept the conversation away from musical
topics Of all kinds until her callers rose
TO leave. They were lengthy in their
farewells, and the servant came to the
door. Nothing is wanted. | only

hear" said her kind hearted friend one
evening when she returned from work.
1--WE got something for you to do.n
In the full gratitude Of her heart the
poor girl burst into tears.
"Now, now, don't do that, Jennie,n
said her CHEEKY hearted companion.

stanched the tears in the eyes of the

day that there was a small situation vacant
in the store, at once went to the fore

such place, but | took the liberty of
saying that you would take it. Now,
will you, Jenniein
The child of affection threw her arms
around her benefactor's neck and kissed
her.

living that would come from that small
stipend might be poor, but it would be
better than continuance of the depend

she appeared when she told her mother /
of her intention of removing her quar-

day when, instead of taking up her
abode in pleasanter place, she sat in the
old tenement in the presence of death.
Several years have passed since then,

altar where a ring was placed on her
finger, and for the first time she was
