PORTRAITS OF VICTORIA.
England's Queen Was Apparently Very

England's Queen Was Apparently Very
 Pretty in Her Girlhood.
 In the room known as the Waterloo chamber, says letter from London to the Philadelphia Telegraph, hangs the
 fine full-length portrait of George W. in his coronation robes, by Sir Thomas Lawrence. His Majesty certainly made bad King, bad husband and bad father, but he makes an admirable pict- ure. He knew how to 'pose" to per lection, how to show up his very hand some legs In their snowy silken hose, and how to turn his head so as to pre- sent the best points in his profile to the spectators. imagine that the vocation of an artists model was what he was best fitted for by nature.
 In another room there Is a full-length portrait of Queen Victoria in her royal robes, painted soon after her accession to the throne and showing that the grim, old dowager of the present day, was very charming girl fifty years ago. The peculiar sweetness of the large blue eyes and the pretty, rosy mouth, tho bloom and freshness of the fair, young face, and, above all, the perfect holding of the arms and shoul- ders and tho graceful neck, make a most winning image of royal girlhood. Had I been Queen Victoria think I would have initiated the example of one of the most beautiful of my female contemporaries, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria-would have remained con- tent with this portrait as my official likeness and never would have sat to any painter again.
 But in the Waterloo chamber there is portrait of the Queen painted five years ago, which will show to posterity what staid and severe-looking old lady she was, in contrast to the grace and sweetness of her youthful likeness. There is, however, one quality about the Queen which is never lacking, and that is her regal bearing. She looks ''every inch the Queen" in the heavy, somber robes that she wears to-day, as she doubtless did in the crimson velvet and ermine, the white satin and jewels of her coronation dress.

SICK-ROOM DUTIES.

Some Necessary Things to Know About
 the Care of Patients.
 Nothing is gained, and much time that is very valuable is wasted, by allowing ourselves to become nervous and unable to be of the slightest use in the sick-room. Although we may con- sider a person too i'll to be aware of what is taking place about them, they are oftentimes fully cognizant of the merest trif1es, and always more or less susceptible to any and all things going on in the sick-room. For that reason conversation about the condition of the patient carried on in the room in whis- pers or in any mysterious manner should be avoided and an air of quiet cheerfulness always maintained
 Nothing is so annoying as to be con- tinually asked if we do not wish the pil- lows changed, the bed-clothes straight ened, the blinds closed or opened, some nourishment brought, or any small de- tails attended to. Better by far to see for ones self, and do quietly, without disturbing the patient Particularly if they are disposed to sleep, do not at once get newspaper of the kind that has the greatest possible amount of rat tie in 1t and seat myself in rocking chair regardless of the possible effect it may have upon the nervous condition of thy friend.
 When it is time for nourishment or medicine, be prompt to give it, but always without talking 1t over too much, and if 1t is the bitter cup that is to be prescribed, have something agree able to follow and cheery word. If 1t is the food or broth, have it prepared outside the sick-room and brought qui- etly, and, above all, in an attractive form, to the patient, bearing in mind that little daintily presented will be much more acceptable and partaken of with more benefit than larger quan- tity. An invalid is oftentimes better nourished by partaking of little sus- tenance at short intervals, and the man. ner in which one is cared for has much to do with his or her improvement

 I believe the time is coming when the foot will be so thoroughly under stood that we will have only one lame horse where to-day we have ten. MT. Bonners success in improving the mag niicent speed of his animals is due to the fact that he has been among the first to appreciate the value of knowl- edge of the foot I never knew an- other man who had made so exhaustive study of the subject Commodore Vanderbilt's Mountain Boy was shod by my method twenty-three years ago. The Commodore had a good, common, horse-sense understanding about the animal; but he had no science of the feet succeeded in improving Noun tain Boys speed, and his owner was sat- isfed. The difference between MT. Bonner and many lovers of horses is precisely that which distinguishes the man who acquires his knowledge by persistent personal investigation and the one who buys it ready made Idon't think the younger generation of Van derbilts take as keen an interest in horse-fesh as did the old Commodore.
 recall with a good deal of interest my acquaintance with General Grant, and how it began about horses. It was about twenty-two years ago that he made an appointment with me at Wash ington. We met there three times al- together, and the General proved him. self not only lover of the horse, but to have pretty good understanding of the subject He brought out saddle bay-one of his army chargers-to be shod and treated for habit of crossing his hind legs while in action, and also when standing. This was quickly re- dressed, to the great delight of the Gen. eral, who, although he owned horses all his life, had never supposed that the formation of the feet was the cause of standing in this manner
 When Governor Leland Stanford, of California, was in New York, several years ago, his famous horse Occident was brought to me to be shod Occi- dents feet were almost perfect Even some of our grandest horses have had imperfections in their feet at times, and 1t has only been by the prompt remedy ing of these that their triumphs have been made possible.

Drawing a Conclusion Too Hastily.

The eloquent temperance lecturer paused, wiped his perspiring brow, and said impressively to the man on the front seat, who had listened with the deepest interest to the discourse and evidently was touched by it's pathos and argument My friend, it is never too late to reform. There is hope for the most hopeless. The past is beyond your reach, but you can control your future. You can not call back to your pocket the enormous sum it probably has cost you to paint your nose the color 1t has now, but"
 "All it cost me to paint my nose as you see it" said the man in the front seat, rising up. twas s46O, including railroad hire and boat hire. I went fishing yesterday. My nose will be as fair as lily in day or two. But go on with your lecture" he added, sitting down again, T am very much inter- ested. ."-Chicago Tribune.

SUCCrS LONG FAST.
It May Provo That We All Eat More Than
 Is Necessary.


 Is Necessary.
 The completion by Sig. Succi of his self-imposed fast of forty days, regretta- ble as were it's surroundings, is undoubt- ediya remarkable feat. The penitential lasts of the church in the middle ages, though sufficiently severe, yet permit ted bread and water to be taken, with sometimes a refresher of dry cooked beans and small beer, and an occasional small fish in the evening; but we can recall no modern instance in which total abstinence from food has been, we were going to say indulged in, or, at any rate, practiced, for so long period without serious results. Most physiolo- gists would. we think, before the fact have pronounced it itimpossible. The loss by the lungs, the skin and the urine would have been considered to be too great for the nervous and circulatory systems to bear without the breaking down of some part of the machinery
 Cases are on record where an animal has lived a much longer period without food-as, for example, the fat pig that fell over Dover cliff and was picked up alive 160 days after, being partially em- bodied in the debris; but here little mo- tion was allowed, warmth was retained by the surrounding chalk, and life was sustained by the animal on it's own fat Dogs and wolves, again, are said to be able to sustain a complete fast for g month, but for man to resist the de- pressing effects of forty days fast with nothing but water, which can hard ly be called food, is certainly excep- tional, Sig. Succi is described as look ing wan, thin and sallow, and it is stated that he lost weight at the rate of about half pound day dur ing the latter days of his fast The loss was, no doubt, in great part due to the elimination of carbon dioxide by the lungs, and of watery vapor by the skin and lungs His temperature was well maintained. His pulse varied. but was, during the latter days, more ire. quent than natural. The room in which he lived was judiciously kept at high temperature, and he did not exhaust his nervo-muscular apparatus by exer- else. Perhaps the conclusion may be drawn from this experiment that a con- siderable portion of our ordinary food Is not applied to any useful purpose in the economy, but is converted in the in- testinal canal into leucin, tyrosin and other crystaloids, and that many of the inactive inhabitants of cities habitually eat more than is required to maintain their mental and bodily functions in the highest eficiency,-London Lancet

uuently found In low-bred horses. The still greater deformity which arises from an excess e hoof in front, causing 8 displacement of the centre of gravity towards the heel sometimes begins soon after a colt is foaled, and can be avoid- ed by expanding the heel, and reducing the surplus of hoof
 It is not to the man who IS merely fond of a good horse that the best re- suits come, but to him who makes the horse a scientific study. There Is the widest possible difference among owners in this respect think the man above all others who makes the horse study is Robert Bonner. It has been valua- ble lesson to me to be present when Mr. Bonner's horses were shod, and l am familiar with many of their peculiari- ties. Maud $. has very pure gait and wears light shoe. Her forward shoes weight from ten to twelve ounces and the hind shoes from six to eight ounces. She could wear six-ounce shoe better than any other if it would resist her weigh and stay together. Before he
 
 one of her hind feet had given her trouble; but he was not concerned about 1t, although those who had been with her for years said it could not be re- moved. It was supposed that no doctor pouh be found to remove it The trouble in the foot looked serious, yet it was almost instantly removed by Mr. hi,r,Sa1f rr-hnn tho m a into his stable.
 Twenty-three years ago 1 was in Mon- treal when heard that Dexter had gone lame. left that city and came to New York to cure him if possible, but before l arrived MT. Bonner had cured the great horse himself. After that we frequently consulted about him, as we'll as about his other horses. Among them now recall Pocahontas, Bruno, one of the aightiest of the stable, Flatbush Maid, Peerless, Lady Palmer, Startle, Maud Mason, Maybird, Wellesley Boy, Taylor, Graf ton, Herrick, Forrest, Rarus and the Queen herself, besides others who be- came famous.
 Lately, I accompanied Mir. Bonner when he went to Indiana to see Sunol, the wonderful California three-year-old. I think she is the greatest animal liv- ing to-day, without exception. Her equal has probably never been born. The formation is faultless-fner than any thing 1 ever saw. It must be so, since she has trotted mile in 2:101S as 8 three-year-old. Formed as she is, it would be discredit to her not to s~ fast; for she more closely resembles hound than any horse ever saw. Her foot is perfection itself. We have many trotters that never show any ability ia the field, to the great disappointment of their owners, and too often the reason Is that their feet are misunderstood,
 There are some people who claim that the California youngsters are trained too soon; but I see no reason why horse should not, under certain condi- tions, reach his fullest speed at three or four years, instead of five or six. A colt will run just as fast as he ever will when matured; we find this in the case

 ~ a characteristic of Americans than of any other people under the sun. This being few there are who make the horse a scientific study. One result of this partial knowledge is the popular idea that illustrious pedigree exclusively confers speed. While it brings indis- pensible qualities, still the purse has often been accorded to the horse whose feet were in the best condition-as 1t is said, mo foot no horse."
 There are so many differences in the formation of the equine foot that it would be impossible in a single article even to enumerate them. The perfect foot Is symmetrical and well-balanced in all its parts, so that it gives no une- qual strain to the horse, the hoof being in straight line from the coronet to Its base, and the ''coffin" joint, which forms the center of the foot, being so placed that there is no excess of hoof on either side to unbalance it, or to disturb the perfect eqripoise.
 Yet a perfect foot is only perfect 80 long as the owner of the animal keeps it so. There is nothing more changeable. The slightest neglect will permit the growth of an excess of hoef with the most unwished-for results, as far as the cerned. With the center of gravity unsettled by an excess of hoof behind, which causes contraction, the forward portion of the hoof will curve and as- Sume concave shape that weakens the whole foot and distresses the animal. Again, with an excess of hoof in front, the wall of the hoof will assume a con- vex curve, the forward portion bulging outward. Both these abnormal forma- tions strain the ankles and distress the horse, the first causing concussion, the second by throwing the weight on the back tendon.
 The growth of the hoof is rapid and it's symmetry should be kept intact When reduced to its proper size, its base re- sembles straight line from toe to heel; the coronary bone, coffin bone and cof- fin joint well balanced on a perpendic- ular basis Of support that gives no un- due strain to any ligament or muscle, and this is the true position of the hoof.
The Arizona champion., 1890-09-06

When an excess of hoof accumulates on either side of the foot, the balance is unsettled, strain comes on the part affected and the grain of the hoof Is subjected to such pressure at certain points that split-hoof frequently is the result if the neglect be persisted in.
 The remedy is to trim the hoof closely to natural lines and not to permit it to grow to excess either at the toe or the heel.
 Few reasons exist for lameness when the foot is so treated. The malforma- tion that arises from an excess of hoof ct the heel, causing an inward or con- cave curve of the hoof in front, is ire.

A uNInItE EANIILN

The Temps, Paris paper, relates the
story of family which has become
wealthy without losing the primitive
virtues. 1t inhabits whole section of
one of the suburbs of the gay capital,
and offers striking contrast in morals
and manners to the rest Of the popula-
tion.
For over century this family has
lived at st. Ouen, and though enor-
mously rich in some of its members, it
adheres to the industry and economy
which distinguished it century ago.
When the great French revolution
broke out this family held leases of
lands from certain noble families, who
had to emigrate during the Reign Of
Terror" What became of these noble
families is unknown. They were never
again heard of in Paris. But the
lessees, in their virtuous simplicity,
put aside their rent, year by year, in
tending to pay up when the owners of
the soil returned. They did not return.
The lessees were confirmed in their oc-
cupation. Little by little they have
added to the property. The family
now has eighty members, ten of whom
are millionaires.
The strange thing about these mil
lionaire peasants is that they under
stand the higher and more luxurious
life. and, of set purpose abjure it. Over
their great domain they have built
elegant villas, and furnished them in
modern style. In these they have
cooks of the best quality and servants
Of the best training. When they enter
tain there they do so with the prime,r,
of the season. They have horses and
carriages in which they drive out or
Sundays and tete days. the men ii
broadcloth and the women in silks. Bu
these ftte times are not more than /
! dozen in year. AT all other times
they live in apartments of the mos
primitive order, and they go out at sun
rise, in blouse and sabots, to work il
! their fields.
The Oldest man in the family is it
recognized head, and he decides all dis
putes. There is no appeal from hi
judgment. Altogether, we imagine
that if search had been begun for {
family of this description, Paris would
have been last place in the tour of in
vesugation, and thus is truth eve
stranger than fiction.

TO REST AT ARLINGroN.

The announcement that General
Crook is to be buried at Arlington is
eminently satisfactory to those who
were his companions in arms as well as
to the people generally. 1t is in every
way fitting that the great national
buTying- ground should continue to re-
ceive the remains of our illustrious and
heroic dead.
This announcement reminds the
Cincinnati Commercidl- Gazette of the
universal desire for the transfer of the
remains of Grant from the neglected
tomb at Riverside TO Arlington. II
AYERS that Mrs. Grant and her family
are willing that this should be done ii
the surviving soldiers wish it. The
change TO Arlington involves every
element of respect for the great soldier
and every attention to his memory.
1t has always seemed to us a matter
of surprise that the Grand Army of the
Republic has not more strenuously in
sisted upon this transfer. Grants glory
is the glory also of the great army which
he commanded. The most unknown and
insignificant member of that illustrioui
command has an interest in his leaders
fame, and should do everything posi-
bic to bring his remains TO their fina
resting place among the graves of sol
diers which the nation guards and care
