How to Visit the Queen.

Should you be invited by Queen Vic
toria to dinner, the following, according
to Edmund Yates in the New York Tri-
bune, is some of the etiquette that you
will have to observe:
Guests are expected to arrive in time
to dress for dinner, and they leave after
breakfast the next morning. The rule
is for guests to repair to the corridor in
full dress at $3.50 o'clock, the dinner be-
ing :45, and the Queen comes in from
her own apartments just as the clocks
chime the quarter, bows to the company
aud proceeds into the oak room, where
the meal is served. The dinner is al
ways excellent and the wines are superb,
but the conversation at the table is of
course most vapid and conventional. Af-
ter dinner the company usually stand
about the corridor, or go into one of the
three drawing rooms which adjoin it.
The Queen speaks few moments to
each person in succession, then retires,
and the guests see her no more, as she
never appears in the morning; so that
visit to the Castle does not involve much
personal intercourse with her Majesty.
After the Queen is gone to her rooms,
the company remain i'll one Of the draw
ing rooms for music or whist, and when
the ladies retire the men adjourn to tho
smoking room, in which is billiard
table, very comfortable snuggcry.

Where Coral Comes From.

The largest quantity aud the hand
soonest corals come from the Algerian
coast. These coral grounds have been
worked since the middle of the sixteenth
century. Other coral grounds are found
on the coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia,
Spain, the Balearics and Provence. More
than 500 italian barks and over 4200 per-
sons are engaged in the coral fishery.
Beside these, French and Spanish barks
are engaged in the same occupation. The
Italian fishermen pay high royalty to
the French Government for their right
of fishing for corals on the Algerian
coast. There are more than sixty work
shops in Italy, forty Of which are in the
little town, Tore del Greco, at the foot
of Vesuvius. These shops give employ
ment to about 5000 persons, mostly
women and children.

THE wAYSIDE WELL

He stopped at the wayside well,
Where the water was cold and deep;
There were feathery ferns 'twixt the mossy
stones,
And gay was the old we'll sweep.
Ho left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
TO drink at the wayside well.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well sweep, creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar in tho buckle ts
side
The water FLASHED back below.
He lifted it to the curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim;
No furrow of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but farmers boy
As he stopped DER the brink to drink,
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing
face
That met his own Der the brink.
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care,
While from under the brim of the old straw
hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair.
He turned away with sigh;
Norcould coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in his ride that
day
TO drink at the wayside WELL

The announcement that the Duke of
Mecklenburg- -Schwerin wanted Prince
Bismarck for President of his Council
of State was sufficient to prompt EN-

to Cannes. Now comes the news that

to a review of their army by the German
Emperor, although that army is an in
tegral part of the defense of the Empire.

EXPERIMENTAL CoURTsHIP.

Provisional Engagement of q Washington
Ecile and SpaDish-Amcrican.
Perhaps the most novel romance on
record for any Washington girl, writes
n correspondent OF the New York Her
aid, is the provisional engagement said
to have becn entered into several years
since by Miss Patton, eldest daughter
of the late Mrs. Patt II, of California,
to Scnor Rafael Cana, whose brother at
that time was minister from Chill to this
country. The foreigner, though the
senior by many years of Miss Patten,
yet hoped to somewhat cqualize all
such difficulties by the wealth of which
he expected to be master upon the sale
to an American syndicate of his silver
mines in Chill.
S2nor Cana did not speak one word of
English, while his lady-love was as
gloriously ignorant of spanish, but
they met upon the common ground of
French, and each sought in this way to
finally overcome the obstacles to 4 per-
feet understanding in their respective
native languages.
The plan decided upon in the matter
of the engagement was that it should
be held by both in the most liberal
sense as provisional. That is, for q
period of six months they would be out
Ward.y all devotion to each other and
though all public announcement was to
be avoided, they were virtually to con-
slider themselves engaged for the space
OF time agreed upon. Senor Cana was
to be the attendant of Miss Patten on
all occasions, should provide her with
flowers and bonbons al libitum, should
secure choice seats at the theater and
opera, should carry her bouquet and
fan al parties and quietly obliteratc
himself during the round OF dances, to
appear again as surely at supper time
In return the young lady was to hold
herself il readiness upon all occasions
to forcgo such social pleasures as con-
1lictcd seriously with the sedate DISPOSE
tion of her elderly lover. She was, more
over, to meet and walk with him every
fine day, and when inclemc1t weather
precluded the enjoyment of pedestrian
exercise was to entertain him after the
most approved fashion in her own home
Here the hours were to be whiled away
with music, the reading of some inter-
cSting books, or, when fancy so die
tatcd, tirnc was to be forgotten in
dcsultory conversation.
At the end of six months each was to
be strictly honest with the other and
state what progress this intimate de-
gree of friendship had made on the roy
nj road to love, and whether, all things
considered, continuance was to be de-
sired.
Strange rs it may seem, the two held
to their vows of absolute clador, but the
end was that they mutually preferred
friendship to marriage.
