WCTORlA'S DAILY LIFE.

A Peep at the Inner Scenes of the Queen
 of England's Household.
 The inner life of the court has little in it to tempt Sy Sybarite-simplicity, dutifulness, conscientious performance of work are its characteristics. At nine her Majesty breakfasts alone, un- less some of her children, grandchil- dren or personal friends are staying in the palace, and she is rarely without them. In summer, at Osborne, Wind sor or Balmoral, this meal is generally served out of doors, in some alcove, S>at or summer-house, after which the Queen drives in small pony carriage, accompanied by one of the Princesses. or she walks attended by lady-in- waiting or maid of honor, with whom she converses with friendly ease, and followed by two Highland servants and some favorite dogs,
 Luncheon is served at two, the convives being Her Majesty's family or royal guests. Until this hour, from her short after-breakfast exercise, the Queen is diligently occupied with off, cial correspondence and business of 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. It assists, too, in enabling her to choose her friends well and wisely, though the court sur roundings are not calculated to help royal personages in forming a just judgment of character. Human nature puts on somewhat too angelic guise, where every thing may be won by suitability and nothing by the reverse
 In the mornings the maids of honor (they are nine in alp in waiting for the time are with the Princesses, read ing or practicing on the piano, singing

or playing lawn tennis with them, as any young ladies, companions togeth- CT, might The lady-in-waiting ac- companies the Queen in her afternoon drives and visits, which are most fre- quently to the poor and to humble workers, often to simple gentry or any one in trouble. Afterward this lady reads aloud to Her Majesty in her pri- vate sitting room.
 The royal dinner hour is 8:3C, and that meal is shared by those of the royal family then residing with the Queen, by distinguished visitors and some of the household in rotation, viz, lord and ladies in waiting, maids of honor, equerries and grooms-in- waiting, this latter official holding 8 considerably lower position than the equerry, though to the uninstructed it sounds like distinction without diff ference.
 The Queen is a woman of strict busi- ness habits and steady application. The amount of correspondence she gets through is enormous. In the private portion of this correspondence Her Majesty is assisted 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 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-fn-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, drapers, dress makers, etc.; one dresser and one wardrobe woman are in constant at tendance on the Queen, taking alter nate days.
 Dress is a matter in which, even in her young days, Her Majesty does not appear to have taken much interest. At present her perpetual mourning al- lows of no crude color combinations. Some of us elders have pleasant, if vague, recollection of Victoria Regina a good many years ago, say forty or forty-three, in very simple and be- coming bonnet tied beneath the chin, a wreath of wild roses under the brim framing sweet. kindly young face. An, me! sorrow and experience have writ their cruel marks on hers and ours since then.-Cor. Philadelphia Times

SCIENCE OF DRY ROT.
No Wood That Is L;abI to Damp Safe from
 Its Attacks.

No Wood That Is L'abl to Damp Safe from Its Attacks.
 Prof. Bidlake, Rhode Island. reports
 as follows on dry rot in lumber: No
 wood which is liable to damp or has
 at any time absorbed moisture and is in contact with stagnant air, so that the moisture can not evapOrate, can be considered safe from the attacks of dry rot. Any impervious substance applied to wood which is not thor oughly dry tends to engender decay, as floor covered with kamptulicon and laid over brick arching before the lat ter was dry, cement dado to wood par titiOn, the water expelled from the dado in setting and absorbed by the wood had no means of evaporation. Wood work coated with a paint or tar before thoroughly dry and well seasoned is liable to decay, as the moisture is inn prisoned Skirtings and wall paneling are very subject to dry rot, and es- pecially window-b backs, for the space between the woodwork and the wall is occupied by stagnant air; the former absorbs moisture from the wall, espe- cially if it has been fixed before the wall was dry after building, and the paint or varnish prevents the moisture from evapOrating into the room. Skirtings thus form excellent channels for the spread of the fungus. Plaster seems to be sufficiently porous to allow the evaporation of water through it; hence probably the space between cell ing and floor is not so frequently at tackled, if also the floor boards do not it very accurately and no oilcloth overs the floor. Flowed and tongued doors are disadvantageous in certain circumstances, as when placed over a space occupied by damp air, as they allow no air to pass between the boards, and so dry them. Beams may appear sound externally and be iOtten within, for the outside being in contact with the air, becomes drier than the interior. It is we'll to saw and reverse all large scantling. l ne GpuS OI all blIuOCI, otIO especially of large beams, should be free, for it is through the ends that moisture chiefly avaporates. They should on no account be embedded in mortar. Inferior and ill-seasoned timber is evidently to be avoided. Whatever insures dampness and lack of evapOra- tion is conducive to dry rot, that is to say, dampness arising from the soil, dampness arising from the walls, es- pecially if the damp-proof course has been omitted, dampness arising from the use of salt-sand and dampness arising from drying of mortar and cement. Stagnation of air resulting from air-grids getting blocked with dirt or being purposely blocked through ignorance. Stagnation may exist under a floor, although there are grids in the opposite walls, for it is difficult to induce the air to move in horizontal direction without some spe- cial means of suction. Corners of stag nant air are to be guarded against. Darkness assists the development of fungus: whatever increases the tenn perature of the wood and stagnant air within limit also assists Scientific American.

HOME AND FARM.

The same food. without variation, should not be given to poultry for any considerable length of time.
 Regularity in the care of stock should be the aim of every farmer. If they are fed and watered at the regu- lar hours they will pay all the better for the trouble.
 Study to feed the plant, not to make the soil rich, if profit is the ob- ject. Farmers should never overlook the fact that the object of agriculture Is to make crops grow rather than to enrich the soil.

 It requires more experience and good judgment to cure clover cheaply and nicely than to cure timothy; but it is better hay when you get it, for most purposes, and it leaves the land in far better condition for the follow ing crops. Rural New Yorker.
 Beef Cakes: Chop cold chips of beef roast, or cold steak, two cold onions, a bit of carrot, a quarter of turnip, one cupful of potato and one of meat; mOisten with cold soup, gravy, or hot water salted and peppered. Mold into cakes with the hands and brown in a well-greased spider.
 Apple Ginger: Make sirup of four pounds of granulated sugar and a pint of water in which cook very slowly four pounds of fnely-chopped tart apples, peeled and cored, and two ounces of green ginger. Add the grated rind of four lemons. Take it off the stove when it looks clear.- Good Housekeeping.
 Tomato Toast: Take fresh or canned tomato, stew and season with salt, pepper and cream, with a little flour stirred to paste in small DOT tion of the cream before adding to the rest, then toast slices of bread spread them with butter, and spread on the tomato while hot and serve immedi- ately.
 Stock may be kept in too close stables. There is not so much danger of this as the summer comes on as there is in the winter when every crev- ice is closed to keep out the cold. There is more danger from bad Odors now, however, than in the cold of winter, and there should be free cir culation of air to carry away any odOr that may be injurious to the stock or milk.
 If the meadows are rough and un- productive, the heroic treatment will be found best. Flow, replow, level, clear off all stone and stumps, fertilize and re-seed, using some clover, which will disappear in about two years. By this method plant food will be set free at the surface and brought from the subsoil by the clover roots, there will be enough available fertility in the surface soil to produce many abundant baryeStS

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

Classic Accounts of the Distribution of the Precious Cereal.
 Wheat, which is now the bread corn
 of twelve European nations. and is fast
 supplanting maize in America and sev-
 eral inferior grains in India, was no
 doubt widely grown in the prehistoric
 world. The Chinese cultivated it 2700
 B. c. as a gift direct from Heaven; the
 Egyptians attributed ito origin to lois
 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, a celestial ve-
 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
  able varieties exist of common wheat. Colonel Le Couteur, of Jersey. cultivat- ed 150 varieties. Mir. Darwin men, tions French gentleman who had collected 322 varieties, and the great firm of French seed mer- chants, Vilmorin-Andrieux ct Cie., cultivate about twice as many in their trial grounds near Paris. In their recent work on ''Les 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 M. Henry L. de Vilmorin has crossbred three of them, Irlticum UuIgare, Triti- cum turgidatnl and Triticun1 duYune, and has found the offspring fertile. Three small-grained varieties of com mon wheat were cultivated by the first lake dwellers of Switzerland (time of Trojan war). and as we'll as by the less ancient lake dwellers of Western Switzerland and of Italy, by the people of Hungary in the stone age, and by the Egyptians on the evidence of brick of a pyramid in which grain was inn bedded, and to which the date of 3S59 B. c. has been assigned. The existence of names for wheat in the most ancient languages confirms this evidence of the antiquity of it's culture in all the more temperate parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, but it seems improbable that wheat has ever been found growing consistently 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 a 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 Review.
