one in trouble. Afterward this lady
reads aloud to Her Majesty in her pri-
vate sitting room.
| The royal dinner hour is S:3C., and
that meal is shared by those of the
| royal family then residing with the

some of the household in rotation,
viz, lord and ladies in waiting, maids
OF honor. equerries and grooms-in-
| waiting, this latter official holding a
| considerably lower position than the
equerry, though to the uninstructed it
sounds like a distinction without a diff
ference.
The Queen is woman of strict bust
ness habits and steady application.
The amount of correspondence she
gets through is enormous. In the
private portion of this correspondence
Her Majesty is ass listed by her private
secretary. a lady-in-waiting, and a
maid of honor, especially the Dowager
Marchioness of Ely, one of the ladies',
who is a valued friend.
When the court is at Windsor the
members of the household in attend
ance are one lady-in-waiting (these
ladies are always peeresses), two
| maids of honor, a lord-in- waiting, two
| equerries, one groom-in-waiting, also
the keeper of the privy purse, the
private secretary, assistants in both
departments and the master of the
household. The attendance is the
same at Osborne and Balmoral, with
the exception of the lord-in-waiting.
To attend to Her Majesty's toilet
and wardrobe there are five maids,
viz, three dressers and two wardrobe
women. The senior dresser, who has
been many years with Her Majesty, is
specially charged with the work of
conveying orders to different trades
people - jewellers, diapers, dress
makers, etc.; one dresser and one
wardrobe woman are in constant at
tendance on the Queen, taking alter
nate days.
Dress is q matter in which, even in
her young days, Her Majesty does not
appear to have taken much interest.

THE RACE QUESTION.

1t VIII BE Worked for All There Is in 1t
by Harrison's Bosses.
We find the following concerning
Mr. Harrison's Southern policy" in
the New York World:
Knowing that the old policy of negro domina-
ton can never again be established there
President Harrison. with the cold blooded cal
culation which characterizes the practical
politician" whose conscience is cared for by
his religion, proposes to leave the colored peo-
pie to do as they did during the administra-
tions Of Hayes and Arthur, and as they have on
the whole done very credltably ever since
namely, to shift for themselves
We do not understand that it is
properly matter of conscience and
duty for any President of the United
States to interfere between the races
at the South. The citizens of the
States under all constituted theories
are supposed to "shift for them
selves"
But it will be found when Congress
meets, we think, that the present Adj
ministration means to force race
issue, if it can. The old policy of agi-
tation to create sectional prejudice
will be pursued. The President will
not join in it personally, because he Is
not in a position to do so, but he will
promote it as far as he can, leaving
the active work to be done by his sup
porters in Congress.
He indicated this clearly enough be-
tween the lines of his inaugural adj
dress, and it is the course that he
would naturally if not inevitably pur-
sue A President of great force of
character might realign parties, but
Mr.. Harrison is a narrow man, hav-
ing no other force than that of events
which impel him in this direction or
that. He will not attempt to divide
| the negro vote or to change the atti-
tude of the Republican party as the
negro party. The negro vote is nee
essary to Republican success in the
close States of the North. The care
with which the President has been
cultivating negro preachers in Indiana
shows that he realizes this, and he has
shown in Congress and on the stump
that he believes agitation intended to
keep the negro political issue is the

Luncheon is served at two, the

her short after-breakfast exercise, the
Queen is diligently occupied with Off

various kinds. Long training has made
her politician of no mean ability and
breadth of view, her natural common
sense forming an admirable basis for
such superstructure. 1t assists, too,
in enabling her to choose her friends

A DIGNIFIED REBUKE,

How Democratic Judge Replied to a
Request for His Resignation.
Attorney-General Miller caught a
tartar the other day when he tackled
Elliott Sandford. Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Utah, whom the Ad-
ministration has recently removed.
To a letter from Miller requesting his
resignation, Sandford replied asking
if there were any charges against him
and stating that it would be unbecom-
ing and improper for him to resign
until they were proved or disproved.
This brought a reply from Miller in
which he said: ''The President has be-
come satisfied that your administra-
ton of the Office was not in harmony
with the policy he deemed proper to
be pursued with reference to Utah
affairs, and for this reason he desired
to make a change, and out of courtesy
gave you an opportunity to resign.
The judges answer was to the point.
He wrote as follows: I'm reply | have
the honor to say that my earnest pur-
pose while on the bench as Chief
Justice of the Territory has been to
administer justice and the laws hon
estly and impartially to all men, under
the obligations of my oath of Office.
If the President of the United States
has any policy which he desires a
Judge of the Supreme Court to carry
out in reference to Utah affairs, other
than the one | have pursued, you may
say to him that he has done very well
to remove me-"
Whether this message is conveyed
will probably warn Miller against en-
tering into any particulars hereafter
regarding the cause of removals.

WHENCE WHEAT CAME.
Classic Accounts of the Distribution OF
the Precious Cereal.

Classic Accounts OF the Distribution OIL
the Precious Cereal.
Wheat, which is now the bread corn
of twelve European nations, and is fast
supplanting maize in America and sew
eral inferior grains in India, was no
doubt widely grown in the prehistoric
world. The Chinese cultivated it 270O
B. c. as a gift direct from Heaven; the
Egyptians attributed it's origin to Isis
and the Greeks to Ceres. A classic
account of the distribution of
wheat over the primeval world
shows that Ceres. having taught
her favorite Triptolemus agri-
culture and the art of bread-making,
gave him her chariot, celestial We
hicle which he used in useful travels
for the purpose of distributing corn to
all nations. Ancient monuments show
that the cultivation of wheat had been
established in Egypt before the inva-
sion of the shepherds, and there is evil
dence that more productive varieties
of wheat have taken the place of one
at least, of the ancient sorts. Innumer-
able varieties exist of common wheat.
Colonel LIE Couteur, of Jersey. cultivat-
ed $50 varieties. Mr.. Darwin men,
lions a French gentleman who had
collected 1922 varieties, and the
great firm of French seed mer-
chants, Vilmsrin-Andrieux ct Gle,
cultivate about twice as many
in their trial grounds near Paris. In
their recent work on Lies Meilleurs
Bles'' M. Henry L. de Vilmorin has
described siXty-eight varieties of best
wheat, which he has classed into seven
groups, though these groups can hard
ly be called distinct species, since NJ.
Henry L. de Vilmorin has crossbred
three of them, Trtticuna uulgare, Iriti-
cum turgiduns and Iriticum duruaa,
and has found the offspring fertile.
Three small-grained varieties of COM
mon wheat were cultivated by the first
lake jewellers of Switzerland (time of
Trojan wary, and as well as by the less
ancient lake jewellers of Western
Switzerland and of italy, by the people
of Hungary in the stone age, and by the
Egyptians on the evidence of a brick
of pyramid in which a grain was i'm
bedded, and to which the date
of 1859 B. G. has been assigned.
The existence of names for wheat
in the most ancient languages confirms
this evidence of the antiquity of its
culture in all the more temperate parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa, but it
seems improbable that wheat has ever
been found growing persistently in a
wild state, although the fact has often
been asserted by poets. travellers and
historians. In the Odyssey, for exam
pie. we are told. that wheat grew in
Sicily without the aid of man, but a
blind poet could not have seen this
himself, and botanical fact can hardly
be accepted from writer whose own
existence has been contested. Diodo-
rus repeats the tradition that Osiris
found wheat and barley growing pro-
miscuously in Palestine, but neither
this nor other discoveries of persistent
wild wheat seem to us to be credible,
seeing that wheat does not appear to
be endowed with a power of persist
ency except under culture. Edinburgh
