The idea of making Queen Victoria a
colonel of German dragons has struck
o good many people as rather odd; but
it is said that female officers were quite
common in the British army about $50
years ago. At that time, it is said, per-
sons who had q pull on the government
were in the habit of christening their
daughters by masculine names, getting
them commissions in the army and
drawing the pay for the service which
the girls did not perform. Col. Vic
toria, Of course, does not draw pay, but
is content with the military glory which
goes with it.

ONE often reads pathetic stories Of
pet birds that die simultaneously with,
or shortly after, their child owners.
It sounds pretty, but the simple
prose of the matter is that
the owners infected the birds.
Canaries and other songsters will
catch scarlet fever, measles, aud il
left in the sick room they are almost
sure to be infected. Pet cats and small
dogs, too. are often sacrificed in the
same way and in their cases there is also
the risk that they will go ont and be-
come the unwilling instruments of dis
seminating disease.

The corn palace OF 1889 in the glory Of
completiou is distinct from tue palaces of
of 1887 and 1888. The general purpose of
the whole is, of course, the a as in the
previous years, viz: to display by decor
alive use the agricultural ind natural pro.
ducts of the magnificent agricultural realm
of the upper Missouri valley. of which
Sioux City is the market and the trade
capital. This is the corn palace idea. 1t
is original with Sioux City. The first
palace for such purpose in the world was
built In Sioux City in the autumn of 1887.
The possibility of producing splendid
artistic effects on such Il scale in such =
way was then first discovered. The work
was all done, Nv wells rs the idea conceived,
by sioux City mon and women.
Every exterior surface of the structure
Is covered and decorated with som form
OF natural products, corn being the pre-
Willing material. The whole is u vast dec.
grated pavilion. Ears of corn are sawed
lengthwise into halves or into transverse
sections an inch thick. These sections
are nailed firmly on the Shooting of luln.
Der which forms the walls, making q great
variety OF patterns ana figures, but all
combined and subordinated to a general
artistic plan. Sections of all colors of
corn ears are used-ycllow. white, red, va
rlegateu, the pearly "sQuaw corn, " and oil
intermediate colors. The vast surface is
broken by the projections and openings
into convenient fields for decorative in.
genulty.
Take n of the simplest forms, three
ears of white corn nailed on vertically alter
mating with three yellow ears horizontally,
and then consider tho possible combina-
tons us to color md position, to say moth.
ing of the forms of the figures and tho
combinations of the same. by laying on
the corn according TO perspective many
illusions arc produced. Thus the portal
is a massive arch. Above it in an ample
space is Il shield and folded flags, the folds
and stars and stripes being perfectly rep
resented by red, white and blue squaw
corn.
These colors Of corn are further re-
lieved and varied by trimmings of other
parts of the corn plant. such us the stalk,
blade, %tassel, husk. etc., as we'll as of
grains, grasses, sorghum seed and other
growths. The boundary lines of fields Of
decoration and of the parts thereof, MS we'll
as their backgrounds, are formed by a
great variety of these reliefs of dressing.
Every variety of fringe and border is thus
made. The effects of millet, flax and sor-
ghum seed in this M inner are especially
| rich and beautiful.

The Street Illumination.

The appearance of the city after dark was
a striking feature of the carnival. The
street arches of colored lights and the long
rows of curb line arches gave the city a
brilliant appearance in the darkness, and
the rays of light from the electric globes
that we hug in the high tower of the palace
blocks and effectually light up the lower
portion of the city in the vicinity of tho
palace.
