very pleasant little anecdote is told
of Queen Victoria and Albert of Sake
CoDurS Ill their counting days to the
eject mat 1t was the queen and not
the prince who popped the question.
1t appears that the first time they met
they were both II. Albert at that
time was rather short and thick set
nut 1ine-looking, roSy-cheeked, natural
and simple in his manners, and of 4
cheerful manner. He took Il great deal
OF interest III everything about him,
ana while on his visit to England he
spent much of his time in playiur ON
The piano with his cousin Victoria, who
was then slight, graceful and interest
Ing girl She fell in love with him at
once; out he was not, it seems. so bad
ly Smitten. He wrote to his uncle Leo
pold that he liked his cousin and found
her very bright and amiable girl. Soon
after this Albert returned to the con-
t1ncnt and spent soma time in travel
and study, writing occasionally to Vic
toria and she to him. Meanwhile King
William ~. died, and Victoria, in her
eighteenth year, asC lnded the British
throne. The young princes next visit
took place III the year after this event,
and now his object was to plead for
the hand and heart of the young queen.
Victoria could scarcely believe her eyes
when she saw him. The short. thick
set boy had grown into comely youth,
with elegant manners and a Strikingly
handsome face. Soon after she wrote
to her uncle Leopold: 'Albert's beau
ty IS most striking, and he is most
amiable and unaffected-in short, very
fascinating" A few days after his ar
rival Victoria had made up her mind,
and sending for Lord Melbourne. the
prime minister, told him that she was
going to marry Prince Albert. The
next day she sent for the prince and
in genuine outburSt of heartiness
and love- she declared to him that she
had given him her whole heart and
would make her very happy if he would
share her life with her. He responded
with warm affection, and thus they
became betrothed. The queen rot only
thus popped the question" but insisted
that the marriage should take place
at an early day. This was in the sum-
mer of 1889, and in the early winter of
1S4O the young couple We're married in
the royal chapel Of st. James, in the
midst of general rejoicing and with
great pomp and ceremony.

A TIGER'S LOVE OF PERFUME

Eject o. = Sweet Scent Upon the Animal
Creation.
London Telegraph: A lady c0rrespon-
dent writes that the recent article in
this journal on the influence of music
upon certain animals reminded her of a
visit which she paid four OF tiv, years
ago to the country menagerie. She was
accompanied by her brother, the late
Rev. J. q. Wood, who wished to demon
strate to a party the effect Of scent upon
the brute creation. No sooner" she
states, were we near the cages contain
ing the lions and tigers than they got
restless and rubbed themselves against
the bars, evidently recognizing a FREUD
in my brother. They recognized his
caresseS with much pleasure, though
apparently with the expectation CT
something more to come. Upon his tax
ing small bottle from one pocket and
some pieces Of thick brown paper from
another, their excitement increased. He
poured a little lavender water upon the
paper, and calling each animal by name,
presented it upon a stick to the favored
Que, WHO, on ldb1nS II, fuDDed the paper
upon paws, cheeks and back, and in
dulged in other antics, all expressive Of
extreme delight When two animals
were in one cage, the favored possessor
of the scent would lie down upon the
paper and roll over and over upon It
to keep it from its disappointed mate.
The strange part of the matter was that
no other scent than lavender water had
any attractions for these creatures

There is Considerable difference in the Two
Occasions.
Detroit Free Press:-There had been
a homicide in a saloon and one man
was telling all about it, even to the
minuteSt detail. He had seen it all and
knew what he was talking about, he
said, and Notwithstanding everybody
had not implicite confidence in his state
ments, nobody cared to call him to &C
count and make him show proof. Natur-
ally such Il man would be a good wit
ness and at the examining trial he was
put on the stand.
What do you know about this affair.""
asked the court.
''Nothin', your Honor" he replied so
promptly as to startle those who had
heard his story.
Didn't YOU" asked the surprised
judge, tell number of people you I'D
seen it all?'
Yes, your Honor"
''Then how does it happen that you
say here that you don't know anything
about it,"
well. it's this way, yer Honor" he
said, with redeeming blush, L was
only talkin' then, an now I'm swear
in.'
The court noted the distinction.

Concerning the wearing away of Nj
agara falls, Prof. LIE Conte says: The
upper stratum of rock is Niagara lime
stone, Il hard rock, but beneath it is a
stratum of shale. 1t is the slow under
mining of this shale that causes the
limestone to break off from year ID
year and the falls to recede. They are
receding now at the rate of three or
four feet n year. What will be the
final result? They may so back to the
lake, but the limestone is growing
thicker and thicker and may finally
extend to the bottom of the falls In
that case the rock would not break off,
bnt would wear away and form a
rapids. In any case if the falls should
recede to Lake Erie, at the present
rate it would take at least 10000 years

lively Time Freight Train on the
Mountains.
when l was running a coal train
over the POcOnO mountains from Scran-
ton to Washington, n. j." said an old
conductor to the New York Sun, Il
had a queer experience on a cold,
moonlight night about the middle Of
December. We left Scranton between
10 and II o'clock, and we had to take
on Il car Of Christmas trees at the
Tobyhanna Mills station. | had a can
of cider i'll the caboose, and just before
we got to TObyhanna | stuck poker
in the stove so as to have 1t red-hOt
by the time We had taken on the car
of trees. Then l was going to stick
the poker in the cider and drink the
cider while it was hot. The train Of
loaded cars was cut loose from the
cabOOSe some distance below the depot,
and | swung both doors Of the Ca
bose wide open and followed the train
up the switch. Then l ran along the
track to get up a circulation, and when
the train had got under good Roadway
on the upgrade | ordered the brake
man to come in and jumped on the
hind platform Of the cabOose.
The moment / stepped inside the
door Il tremendous big bear made
dash ut me from the right side of the
caDOOSe, grOWled at me like a mad
dog, struck at me and came within an
inch of knocking me against the rail-
ing. He was licking his chops, and
the lamp in the caboose enabled me to
see at a glance that he had tipped over
my can Of cider and had been making
a meal off the contents of my dinner
can. The bears dash and growl came
SO suddenly that / smashed my lantern
over his head without thinking what l
was doing, and the blow stopped the
bear as though he had been shot. The
glass cut him some, the oil got in his
eyes, and he was so much surprised
that he wheeled like a flash and made
for the front door.
''When 1 saw that the bear had
chased the brakeman to the engine [
ran out on the tree car, having made
up my MIND to stop the train and drive
UCdl OIl DClOIc we Cuc GOWN
grade, a mile beyond. While l was
thinking Of this the bear became great
ly agitated all of a sudden. The brake
men were on the engine, and the bear
ran back and forth on the second car,
looked over the edge of the car and
acted as if he was going to jump off,
HE was afraid to take the chances,
and all at once he sprang to the brake,
grabbed it with his paws and turned it
like man till he had set it as tight as
he could. Then he skipped to the car
behind and set the brake, going from
that to the third and fourth cars,
where he did the same. On seeing
what the bear was up to, the engineer
shut off the steam, and by the time
the bear had set the brake on the
sixth car the train came to q stop, and
just before we got to the POconO Sum-
nit station the bear backed down the
side OF the car as cool as you please,
Waddled into the brush on the south
side of the track as though nothing
had Happened, and pointed toward
Hungry Hill. The bear had ridden five
miles with us, and, although he had
gobbled my supper and cider, L was
MT a bit sorry that he had taken pos
session of the train and run it to suit
himself"
