The oueen.s Chased aooms.

When Queen Victoria dies the nu- merous suites of rooms now closed in the royal palace will probably be re- opened for occupancy The queen has a strong penchant for closing rooms once used by her friends. The apartments in Claremont in which the Princess Charlotte died more than seventy years ago are vigorously closed. Prince Albert's apartments at Windsor. Osborne and Balmoral are all kept precisely as they were when he was alive. The duchess of Rents rooms at Frogmore are also shut up, which renders that abode absolutely useless. as they are the best in the house. The queen has also kept John Browns rooms at Windsor entirely closed since the death of that domestic. Exchange

Like and Unlike.

"There are three things" said an old philosopher. which a woman should be like and at the same time totally unlike.
 In the first place she should be like a snail, because the snail is always to be found in his house. And she shouldn't resemble this singular crea- ture. because he puts everything that he has in the world upon his back.
 Again, she should be like an echo, because the echo speaks only when it is spoken to, and unlike it, because the echo IS always bound to have the last word.
 ''Once more, woman should be like the town clock, in that she should keep regular hours, and be exact in all things. And. unlike the town clock. she should not let her tongue be heard throughout the town. ."- Youths Companion.

A Romeo Who Does Chores.

There is said to be young man at West Newton, Pa, who. when he goes to see his girl, is compelled to split wood, carry in coal, run errands and work in the garden, by the girls mo ther. before he is allowed to do any courting. We should think that when he had all these tasks accomplished it would be time to go home to break fast; but perhaps he is permitted to remain until tie mcening meal is pre- pared and is made to help his girl wash the dishes lie says he wont kick so long as the old woman doesn't send the girl to bed and insist upon being courted in her place.-NorristowD Herald

Making iIumniies.

La Casas describes the Peruvian burial rites as follows: "The dead are wrapped in the skin of the llama. then clothed and deposited in sitting pos ture. The doors of the tombs, which are all toward the east, are then closed with stone or clay. At the end of a year, when the body becomes dry. the doors are again opened. There is no bad odor because the skins in which the body are placed are sewn up very closely, and from the cold they soon become mumnlies. "-Sci- ence.

A new sponge industry is being de- veloped on the coast of Dalmatia as an outcome of experiments by Professor Oscar Schmidt, of Styria. Professor Schmidt planted in favorable spots very small cuttings of live sponge, and in three years was rewarded with a fine crop of large sponges. The ex- pense was small; the total cost of 4, coo sponges being not more than 225 francs. New York Telegram.

Charity i'm France.

In France there are no public funds for the relief of the poor. and private charity is almost wholly relied upon. It appears, however, that French laws are very much opposed to private as sociations OF individuals distributing charitable funds, and require that this should be done by officials. Tie machinery provided for the purpose are bureaus composed of persons two thirds of whom are nominated by the prefect of the district and one-third by the communal authorities. No person can found charitable institu tion and support it with his own money without express authority from the state, nor can he leave by will a sum of money for any private individual to distribute in charity; that duty must be performed by an of ficial.-Chica~o Herald

Put in the Law.

There is one other thing that ought to be made penal offense, with a minimum fine of at least S2O0, with Imprisonment of not less than six months It is that of doubting the statements of a man who has been a-fishing. Fish have been caught ever since hooks were invented. The fish were made to be caught. They rather expect it. It is no trick at all to catch fish. And yet as Jones re. turns from his vacation he is stopped and asked
 Been awayg" Yes"
 Up nothi" Yes"
 Went fishing. suppose9" "Of course"
 Catch anythingg" Certainly"
 'H'ml Caught scme four pounders, presume2'
 Yes; caught one which weighed seven pounds.
 ''H'ml Good-by"
 Jones not only caught one weigh. ing seven pounds, but a number which weighed five and six pounds apiece. but he dared not speak of it. Even with what he did say he felt that the other man believed him to be a liar. As he walked on he felt be- Titled and degraded, and he made up his mind to tell bold lie on the next occasion and declare that he did not even see a fish while he was gone. Something should be done in this mat ter, and 1t cannot be done too soon 4 man should be protected in telling the truth as well as in life and limb Detroit Free Press
