The table furniture OF Queen Victoria
is kept in two fireproof chambers, with
double iron walls. 1t is said to repre-
sent value of 100000 Among it
is the golden table service OF George w.,
calculated for 1870 guests, with a cham
pagne cooler lined with crystal, large
enough for two men to bathe in. There
are many pieces that belonged to Queen
Elizabeth, and splendid vessels from
India, China and Burman. There Is a
teacup owned by Charles XII, and a
solid golden peacock, whose tall is COW
cred with splendid gems, which was
made for George Ill, and represents
value of e40,0 The walls of these
treasure chambers are hung with pre-
cious arms flashing in rubies, diamonds
and pearls. 1t is to be presumed that
all this is family property attached to
the wearer OF the English crown, and
not personal possession.

Sometimes one hears It said Of good
wife and mother that she's regular
home-body." The phrase is simple, but
what world Of ennobling qualities 1t
indicates, and what universe OF friv-
olities it excludes. The matronly home
body Is, indeed, " Heavens best gift TO
man." and the husband capable of mall
treating 50 true a help-meet, Is only fit
for such companions as Nebuchadnezzar
found in the Babylonish pastures.
Dashing ladies', whose mission it Ia
to set the fashions, won't you look In
upon your gentle sister as she sits in
her we'll ordered nursery making the
children happy with her presence Note
how she adjusts her little difficulties,
and admonishes, encourages, instruots,
amuses them, as the case may require.
Do you think any nurse-maid could pro-
duoe such harmony in that little circle
Is she not an enchantress Verify, yes,
and her charm is "love stronger than
death for those sweet young faces
where you may see her smiles and frowns
(though she seldom has occasion to
frown) reflected In glee and sorrow, like
sunlight aud cloud-shadows In a quiet
pool. What she is, she will teach heI
daughters to be, and blessed are the sons
that have such a mother.

An Automatic Esoutcheon.

A difficulty with which hotel keepers,
househOlders, and transient dodgers have
had, unavailing, to contend has been the
ease and readiness with which thieves
could enter unocoupied rooms by the
forcing of lock or the displacement Of
a key. There has recently been put
upon the market what Is called the auto
matio key esoutcheon, which Is a meohan-
ical contrivanoe designed TO make the
burglars lot a most unhappy one. The
object Of tho esoutcheOn is to securely
hold the key in the door when locked,
thereby preventing its being shaken out
or removed with a skeleton key The
burglar who attempts TO remove the key
from the door that he may insert a skel-
eton from the outside is bafiled by this
contrlVanoe, which, besides furnishing
this security, prevents the key from be-
ing lost or mislaid, It remaining in the
door when not In use. The introduction
Of the automatic escutcheon will be sad
blow to the eavesdropper, for It closes
tightly the aperture. The eseuteheons
are made Of bronze and japanned iron,
are easily connected and weigh ne more
than a silver trade dollar.

The following story "a told Of couple
OF sportsmen Their names were Hot

shots and not a little given 70 boast'ng
Of their sklll. one day they went out
on deor-huntlng expedition, and, after
getting into the woods, whore they ex-
pectod 70 find deer, they separated.
Shortly after Holman heard Cowan'a
gun fred Oh, when he Immediately went
over 70 the spot where he heard the shot,
expecting 10 be obliged to help Cowan
to hang up a deer. He found Cowan
very busy loading bia gun and shouted
outs
"Heilo, Cowanl What did you Shoot

dNone o your business. Go along
over the hill !"
Surprised at this short and cru8ty an.
swer Hoffman looked around and dis
covered a calf among the bushes. Again
h0 cried ont;

oalf?"
"Yes, did; but it's none o youi

AIenn WrlIs.

Husbands who profess to love their
wives intensely, sometimes play them a
very mean trick when about to depart
for that better land where there Is
"neither marrying nor giving in mar
riage." One might suppose that a ten
der spouse, on the eve of being divorced
by death from the partner OF his Joys
and sorrows, would be governed in the
disposition OF his worldly goods by an
earnest desire to render her earthly
future a happy one. II he has fortune
to bequeath to her, why should he make
dog-in-the-manger will, providing that
she shall enja it only during her widow
hoodS What right has he to condemn
her to life of loneliness, under penalty
of pauperism, In case she shall marry
again2 Husbands about to shuttle OF
this mortal coil, If you desire to be ten
derly borne in mind by your reliots,
don't deal with them after this con-
temptible fashion.

1t is no longer e0mms Il fact in polite
circles to have company manners, COM
pany clothes, company china and com
pany cooking. What is good enough foE
the family ought 70 be good enough for
the guest. There Is no honor In terrapin,
trunies, Ices and marFons, but there is
honor In a welcome TO q refined home
and cover at the table where culture
assemblies. Cordial hospitality takes on
an added grace when, forgetting self and
personal comfort, the hostess antioi-
pates the wants Of the guests and mani-
fests IN innumerabls attentions the es-
TEEN felt for them. A perfect meal Is
only a question Of a few dollars, but the
freedom Of the hearthstono that friend
ship extends has g hiehor value than
money eEpressea.

The world renowned success Of H0stetter's
stomach Bitters, aud their continued popularity
for over a third OF century as a stOmachic, Is
scarcely more wonderful than the welcome that

Ivan Demitrieff sued his laborer, Petro

amount of so rubles, because the laborer
had spoiled his horse. Demitrien VS..
Demitrieff," called the Justice. " Are
plaintiff and defendant related 2" To
be sure" answered the plaintiffs the
laborer is my father" The Justice was
amazed at this answer, and tried to per-
suade the litigant son to drop the case
against his father. But the son would
not listen to it, insisting that he de-
manded justice, and that the Judge had
no business to take the part Of the de-
fendant because the later happened to
be the plaintiffs father. The case was
tried in due order, and judgment was
found In favor Of the defendant. The
plaintiff, however, was determined to
have his father punished, and appealed
from the decision Of the court. The
case was tried again in a higher court,
and the Judgment of the lower court
/ was sustained. Leaving the court room
the son exclaimed: "There is no use
trying to obtain justice in Holy Russia l''

When baby enters the house, the help
less little handful Immediately becomes
king Of it. Its voice-not exactly the
voice OF the turtle eitber--being heard in
the land, all other sounds are forgotten.
It matters not who has no dinner 50 that
he has his, nor who is tired so that he
enjoys himself. Ordinary occupations
cease, and a group gathers obout the
cradle to sea him put his fist in his
mouth. King Baby, do you know any
thing about all this II you did, you
might look forward very sadly for, in
after life, there will be no such alteration
for you. Words Of wisdom will fall
unnotioed from your lips then, though
when you have learned to say "blal
bla !" the household now goes into
ecstaoiea.

Nothing 30 quickly restores tone to

A Combination Cane.

In appearance, this ingenious walking
stick looks like an ordinary ebony one,
with large silver plated mounting.
This head screws off, and in it are stow
cd away the seat of a camp stool and a
set OF dice. It can be used as a drink
ing cup or dice-box. The ferrule also
screws of and has concealed in 1t fan.
The stick itself is composed of three
pieces OF bamboo that makes the camp
stool. The weight OF the cane is only
thirteen ounces, and the stool IL guar
anteed to bear with ease person weigh
ing two hundred pounds. This new
spring novelty would be a handy COM
panion for camping out, excursions,
baseball, races, fishing, and all outdoor
tournaments or games.

An erect bodily attitude is Of vastly
more importance TO health than most
people generally imagine. Crooked
bodily positions, maintained for any
length Of time, are always Injurious,
whether in the sitting, standing or lying
posture, whether sleeping OF waking.
To cit with the body leaning forward on
the stomach or to one side with the
heels elevated on level with tho hands,
is not only In had taste, but exceedingly
detrimental to health. IL cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs, In
terrupts the free motion Of tie chest,
and enieebles the functions Of the alb
domlnai and thoraoio organs, and in
fact, unbalances the whole muscular sys-
tom. Many children become slightly
hump-baoked or severely rouud-shoulder-
ed, by sleeping with the head raised on
a high pillow. When any person finds II
easier TO sit or stand or sleep in q
crooked position than a straight one, be
may bo sure his muscular system is de-
ranged, and the more careful he should
be 70 preserve an upright position.
