THINGS TIE QUEEN CAN'T Do.
Social Privileges She Is Deprived OF by Her
Peculiar Position.


Queen Victoria, not being born a queen,
probably learned 10 rec just like other per-
sons. But after She became afflicted with roy
atty, she found that Il queen is not allowed to
have great many privileges that the hum
blest of her subjects can boast. For instance,
she isn't allowed to handle newspaper Of any
kind. nor magazine, nor letter from and
person except from her own family. and no
member of the royal family or household is ay
lowed to speak to her Of any piece Of news in
any publication.
All the information the queen is permitted
TO have must first DO strained through the in
teiect of man whose business it is TO cut out
from the papers each day what he thinks she
would like to know. These scraps he fastens
on silk sheet with a gold fringe all about it,
and presents to her unfortunate majesty. This
slken sheet with gold fringe IS imperative for
all Communications to the queen. Any one
who wishes to send tho queen personal poem
or a communication Of any kind Except per
sOnal letter, which the poor lady isn't allowed
to have at alD must have it printed in gilt let
tiers on one of these silk sheets with a gold
fringe, just SO many inches wide and no wider,
all about it. These gold trimmings will be re-
turned to him in time, rs they are expensive,
and the queen is kindly and thrifty, but for
the queens presence they are imperative.
The depriyations Of the queens life are pa
thetically illustrated by an incident which &C
CURED not long ago. An American lady sent
her majesty an immense collection OF the
llpWSTS VI l!iiS country IfeSSSu anu Lio'tiCcu'
The queen was delighted with the collection
and kept il for three months, turning over the
leaves frequently with great delight. At the
end Of that time, which was as long as she was
allowed by court etiquette to keep it, She had
it sent back with letter saying that being
queen of England, she was not allowed to have
any gifts and that she parted from it with deep
regret.
Tbs passes for good nursery government in
this country, but would hardly be accepted
among adults, let alone queens.

How to Take Care of a Piano.

With proper care and attention a good
piano should last a family a lifetime, says
Charles H. Steinway, the piano manufac-
turer, in the Ladies' Home Journal. If
this is not given it, the piano will in time
become harsh and ''tin-panny, and afford
little sa tisfaction OF delight to it's owner
Ordinary practice, whether by child ora
grown-up person, will not injure a piano
in any way. 1t is not necessary to be a
professional piano player, and to know
exactly with what force to strike the keys
in order to keep the instrument in good
condition. OF course, it will not be i'm
proved by humping the case, or by strik-
ing the keys with any hard substance.
Neither does this remark apply to schools
and institutions where playing is taught
and the instrument is used continuously for
ten or twelve hours every day. In the lat
ter case the felt portions will wear out
sooner than if it was used in a private
family.
The matter of tuning should not be neg
lected, and should never be intrusted to
any other than an experienced person.
Incapable tuners very often work irrepal-
able injury to the most perfect and costly
ilsli ,iliehts. 'ullHS lllt liSt year Il new
piano should be tuned every three or four
months at least After that it will only be
necessary to have it tuned at longer inter
walls.
Dampness is the most dangerous enemy
the piano has to contend against, and for
this reason the climate must be consider
ed. Ii the instrument is placed in damp
room, or left open in a draught of air, the
result will be that the strings tuning pins,
and the various metal parts will become
coated with rust, and the cloth used in the
construction of the keys and action, be-
comes swollen. 1t is positively painful to
play on such piano.
