The Queens Life at Balmor

The queens life at Balmoral," says
The Lady, y is exceedingly simple. She
breakfasts in her apartments between
and 10 o'clock. Sometimes Princess Bea-
trice and other members Of the family
who may be staying at the castle take the
matutinal meal with her, but ofttimes she
breakfasts alone, and her family have
movable feast III the large dining-room
The suite having special. dining-room set
apart for them, and there they can take
their meals together, except on particular
occasions when they are invited to he1
Majesty table.
These invitations, however, are never
issued for breakfast, for the queen prefers
to be alone, in order that she may reflect
over the programme of the day. Shortly
after 10 the queen begins to devote herself
to the affairs of the nation, runs through
the dispatches which are sent to her daily
by the ministers, and with the help of Sir
Henry Ponsonby, jots down replies, Sir
Henry acting as secretary. The work is
usually over by |, about which time the
queens messenger starts for London with
the dispatches to the ministers. At
the queen lunches. Afterward she goes
for a drive or one of her vigorous walks,
which are so trying to the less energetic
of her ladies-in-waiting. The dinner hour
is not till nine. After dinner the usual
practice is that the queen makes few
observations to her guests, and at about
II retires to her private apartments. OF
late, however, there have teen changes In
evening programme in the direction OF
greater gayety.

FARM NOTES.

A dead limb is an incumbrance to a
tree and should be removed.
Whenever you see a rat-hole pour little
tar in it. The rat will not come near it

Late potatoes will do well on a piece of

The importance of washing or currying
the COW for the purpose of preventing dis

a COW may discharge 20 pounds of water
through the kidneys she may drink 100

the COW, curry or brush her, and remove

order to promote free perspiration.

Art in busting.

1t makes one feel pleasant at once to
go into cheerful tidy room. No matter
what the furniture is, no matter if the
carpet is old and faded, if the room is
nicely busted, and the air fresh, it makes
one feel good
First and last large soft cloth is nee
essary in busting. Begin at some corner
and work all around to where you began,
taking every chair, table picture and all
woodwork in the path. The windows
should be wiped off also. 1t is not neces-
sary to sweep before busting, but we
should not dust every d.;y. A feather
buster Is not nearly so good as a soft cloth,
for by flirting the dust into the air it set
ties right back, and the room is no fresher
than it was before busting.
The windows should be opened every
day, and fresh air allowed to Just fill the
room. While busting it Is very easy to
put chairs IN their proper places pin tides
straight, put the books in order, wipe of
the table, spread and shake tie rugs. The
whole will not take more than FIVE or ten
minutes, and the result will pay one fol
the slight troubles and exertion.
If cloth furniture is wiped off with a
slight, dampened cloth it will be much
freshened thereby There is lots of dust
on furniture that one would not notice
Everything should be wiped off just the

The Birth of an Iceberg.
D. c.. G..
Harper's Weekly.

The dynamical law by which the glaciers
abutting on the sea generate their bergs is
still somewhat vague. IN earlier days it
was held that the glacial tongue broke off
by its own weight. To this has succeeded
the following explanation; perhaps more
popularity than scientifically accel ted
Moving down the hords to the ocean the
glaciers front enters the waves, at first
ploughing up the sea-bottom into deep
furrow. But as the ice prov pushes out
over the sloping ocean floor. the weight
resting upon the bottom steadily dimin-
ishes. The floating power of the water
tends constantly to lift the ice, which is
held down by the rigidity of the glacial
sheet below its normal sea line Moving
ON still, the glaciers front reaches the
point in deeper water where it is lifted
from the bottom altogether. Still it re-
mains unkroken, the strength of the sheet

Cutting Oats.
Prairie Farmer.

With many farmers oats are raised al
most entirely for feed, and it is desirable
to use them IN Il way so as to derive the
largest amount of benefit Cut at the right
stage the straw contains considerable nutli-
ment. The difficulty in feeding unthresh-
ed oats is that they will eat the heads and
waste the straw This may be obviated
to some extent by cutting. curing and
slowing away the same as hay. Yet even
then there is considerable waste that it is
desirable to avoid. For this reason it
would be best to use the cutting box, run
ming the oats through it before feeding.
In this way all will be eaten up clean, and
the saving in waste will pay for the cut
ting cost, while the value of the feed is in
creased because better opportunity is at
forded or making combinations.
1t is necessary, if the best quality of feed
is secured, to cut at the proper stage If
cut too green there is loss in the grain,
while if delayed until the seed has matur-
ed the straw will loose much of its value,
turning to wood. Cutting just after the
seed has fully formed; and before \ the
grains have hardened, is the best stage,
and the nearer they can be cut to this
stage the better the quality for feed
Oats like clover should If possible be cut
and cured without getting wet. They
need to be thoroughly cured before they
are stored away, as they will mold if put
into the barn or stack damp. With the
mower, rake, hay-fork and carrier they
can be put away at low cost, or if stacked
in the field the mower, gatherer and
stacker can be used. They must lay and
cure longer than hay, and thus the princi-
pal objection to this plan is that a shower
will seriously damage it. If cut and bound
they must be carefully shocked up and
capped and let stand three or four days SO
as to cure it we'll before hauling in. Then
if run throug cutting-box and fed in tight
managers, they make "a very cheap food and
are of a good quality.

TIE FARM And HOUSEHOLD.
THE LAND THAT USED-TO-B
JAMES wIuTCoMB RILEY,

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies land long lost TO me,
The land of Used-to-be-
A land enchanted such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody.
Oh, such a land with such a sea
Kissing its shores eternaly,
Is that fair Used-to-be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me.
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed o er with all the glee
OF rare old Used-tobe.
Lost laughter and the widest tunes
Of babyhood's mouth of crescent runes,
That rounded through long afternoons
To serenading plentilunes.
When starlight fell so .mistily
That, peering up from Bonded knee,
/ dreamed twas bridal drapery
Hung over Used-to-be.
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots
OF coolest, greenest, grassy plots,
Embossed with wild foTget-me nOts
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the past; kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-be.
l love we all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeringly on the skies
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till DER my soul a silence lies
Sweeter than any song to me,
SWeeter than any melody,
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three.

regulation time had elapsed they were
opened and found to be gloves and order
ed to be sold at auction, according to law
A Jew. on looking at them, cried out they
were all right-handed gloves and of no use
to any one. Consequently, they went fer
next to nothing and for far less than the
tax would have amounted to. Needless to
add again that the case at the other
frontier contained all left-handed gloves
and, of course, they were bought by con-
federate.

Pleasure in Toll.
Harper's Bazaar

There is no true craftsman, as Ruskin
has more than once said, who does not
find his work pleasure. That is, he
finds il a pleasure if the conditions are
fairly favorably; and all the schemes of the
social reformers, from Fourier to Belamy,
are brought to bear on just this point, not
to save men the necessity of labor, but to
give them labor so congenial and so rea-
sonable that it shall be a delight. A
young American carpenter once told me
that be should be content to work on
building for the rest of his life if it
could only be on the terms on which he
was working-having good materials to
work on, so that he felt some pride IN his
labor; and paid by the day, SO that he was
not tempted to scamp" his work, he
said, for the sake of his family Does not

RUSSIAN PRISONS,

Conducted

Referring to the proposed international
congress of prison reform, writer of the
Furidetcheskig Vlestni K, apparently a
man familiar with the subject, published
an article depicting Russian prisons and
their management IN very dark colors.
His statements must be taken into con-
sideration the more seriously since places
of rention," as they are mildly termed,
have a greater social significance than
prisons have anywhere in the western
countries. Russian police and the ju-
dietary authorities freely use their power

The king of Dahomey is man of edu-
cation and accomplishments. He was
reared in Paris and much money was spent
and careful attention avished upon his in
struction. But in an evil hour he fell in
love with a Partisan beauty, and because
she would not have him the young man
made up his mind that the life of a bar
barian was preferable to that of a civilized
and enlightened being. He babe eternal
adieu, therefore, to the classics, the arts,
and the sciences, and jealousy set himself
to the pursuit of barbarian career. His
most remarkable reform as king of Daho-
mey was to surround himself with body
guard of strapping women, regular
amazons who rode horseback man fash
ion, used the bow and spear and welded
the battle-ax with singular dexterity His
majesty has a theory that these women
are better fighters than men and are more
likely to be loyal to his interests. A con-
tingent of these amazons is to be brought
to London soon and shown to the public in
the French exhibition now in course of
preparation IN that city.
