realize how precious thing is until it is
taken from US, nor feel much interest in
historic spots until they are about to be
effaced-when We combine to raise an out
cry-it never occurred to me to pay visit
to her majesty's kennels until / heard that
they were TO be abolished. The rumors as
to cruelty practised on the knacker's
horses and the barbarity of chasing tame
deer, about which humane busy-bodies
have endeavored to stir up our indigna-
ton, also excited me to see for myself
whether the queens huntsman is the bar
barian he is represented. Her maiesty's
kennels are situated at Ascot, close to the
race course and on the borders of
Windsor forest. They have occupied
the same site for a very large
number of years, the present kennels
having been built for over hundred, al
though extensive alterations and improve
ments were carried out about twenty years
ago. walked up from the station. past

ture geological gardens. The baying of
the hounds and now and again short
sharp growl of annoyance added another
touch to the fancied resemblance. Armed
with special permit from the master of the
buckhounds, l entered boldly and was re-

man, who laughingly told me that he was

charges were laid, and lett me to put on

practiced eye of the hunlsman has pro-
nounced him lit 20 run. As he grows older
he becomes more and more cunning, and
often some of the finest deer have to be
shot because they are so full of tricks.
They will run for fifteen or twenty min
utes, and. then selecting some suitable
corner will establish themselves at bay,
and strike down with their horns-which,
though sawn within few inches of their
heads. are still effective weapons-any
hound that may come to close quarters.
The deer paddOcks are situated in Wind
sor forest, about eight miles from the cas-
tie, and are surrounded by some of the
most beautiful woodland scenery in Eng
land. The great oaks, hundreds of years
old, which four men cannot span with
outstretched arms, smile down on the
bright foliage of larches and thicklv covered
beech trees, already DOMINIC their au-
tumnal coats. Little red squirrels, pro-
tected from the snares of the cruel or col

were formerly well filled and supplied
the fish for the house that once stood on
the site of yonder keepers cottage. This
house was appropriated to the use of
the master of the buckhounds, and George
III. used often to spend three or four
days unceremoniously at the pleasant
mansion shut in by the forest trees.
But of its former comforts nothing now
remains but the tishponds, the vast cellars
under the forester's cottage. and ring of
trees which marks the situation of the
bygone ice house. Close to the cottage
are the paddocks enclosed by high pal
ings. They are beautifully wooded, and
in the fields--some of them eleven acres in
extent-one realizes that wooden walls do
not necessarily prison make, for the
deer can wander, almost without noticing
that they are confined within limits.
The comfortable sheds, where their daily

happy chance to secure advance payment
for their bones. Their volatile tempera-
ments would lead them to regard the trans
action as jovial affair. In point of fact,
they feel certain degree Of satifaction in
knowing just what is to become of them,
and that they alone will reap the pecuniary
benefits.
Imported skeletons are. as a rule, sold to

1t is quite safe to surmise that the major
ity of skeletons are filling worthier role
in their embodied state than they ever
did in the drama, or. il NAV be, the
tragedy of life. An articulated skull that
is valued at SIS. more than likely, when
accom- panied by the brain that nature be-
slowed upon 1t, was not worth cent.
The glass case not infrequently supersedes
prison bars. Altogether it is a cheerful
thought that at last the skeleton is of some
use in the world.
1t is, however. quite probable that
within most of the deserted chambers
aching hearts have throbhed and weary
brains have struggled. Pathos and sor-
row have alternated with JOY and glad
ness. Bright eyes may have cleaned in
the unsightly sockets. Tears have surely
flowed from them. Like the dead whose
bones are permitted to crumble to dust ::
like the living who regard them with in

chapters of sunshine and shadow, pleas

FROM SeusuS DulietluA
The Church of God is branch of the
Seventh Day Adventists. A division oc-
Cured at various times in different states
among the Seventh Day Adventists in the
years 1S6+1S66. This division resulted in
the organization of the Church of God.
The chief cause of the division was, it is
stated, the claim of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists that Mrs. Ellen G. White is in
spired and that her visions should be
accepted as inspired. There are minor
differences between the two bodies on the
subject of health reform. abstaining from
swine's flesh, tea and coffee, and with re-
latlon to prophecy. In church govern
ment there is little variation. The Church
of God has three annual conferences, also
general conference representing the whole
church. The number of members in CAT.
The church has no organization in Wash
ington.
The society for ethical culture was
founded in New York in 1876 by Prof.
Felix Adler. 1t was announced as 'sthe
new religion of morality, whose God was
The Good, whose church was the universe,
whose heaven was here on earth, and not
in the Clouds" Its aims have been thus
defined by Prof. Adler:
First-To teach the supremacy of the moral
ends above all other human enos and interests.
Second-TO teach that the moral law has an
immediate authority not contingent. on the
truth OF religious beliefs or o. philosophical
theories.
Third-To advance the science and art of
right living.
Meetings are held on Sunday. at which
addresses or lectures are delivered. Soci-
cites having been organized in Chicago,

ailke Tor the man in the royal navy and
the younger dogs in the royal kennels.
We peeped into the hospital" 3 row of
comfortable loose boxes which are used
now Tor the invalid members of the pack
and again for the maternity wards.
Although at present the breeding is not
all done on the premises. Mr.. Harvey is
every year making fresh efforts in
this direction. / fancied thar the
naming of so many dogs must
vainiy tax the ingenuity of the
huntsmen, but / learned that they
are named IN the most scientific manner
according TO their pedigree generally from
the children of Gaiety were Gay Lad and
eIay Lass. Hearing the huntsman talk
hopefully of improving his arrangements
for breeding, l questioned him as to the
reports that the buckhounds are to be
abolished, out he seemed very incredulous
on the point. Regarding the statement
that the neighboring farmers are ANXIOUS
TO see the Queens" done away with, Mr..
Harvey was loud in contradiction. The
ouckhounds do far less damage than fox
hounds. and although the farmers might
not be sorry to see one of the private packs
OF foxhounds put an end to, they would
sincerely regret the abolition OF the royal
buckhounds. Indeed, they propose sign
ing petition to this effect in all the mar
hSeo "a VIC COUNTIES anu icr-
wardiug it to the queen. And now"
said |. II want you to give me your honest
opinion as to whether the hunting of the
tame deer is really cruel" The huntsman
smiled; the word "tame" brought a flood
OF recollections as he told me of how he
and the first whip" were knocked over
and cut about by one of the same tame
deer, which he assured me were very far
from deserving the epithet applied to
them. Whilst we drove to the paddock
where they herd he told me many an anec-
dote of deer and hound, and | felt pang
OF regret at hearing that several of the
beautiful animals we had just left were
aoout TO enter on their last season. They
are very seldom hunted for more than five
seasons and at the age of between and
years must pass away to make room for
their younger, more energetic fellows.
The male hounds wear out sooner than
the females, for they always hunt the
far country, whilst the females hunt
nearer home, and it is not unusual
for the pack to start at s a. III. and
not return till between 10 and IL at
night. OF the deer and their cum
Mug ways Mr.. Harvey had much to
tell. No doubt for the first time or
two, the deer runs in fear of his life, but
he has a wonderful instinct and soon
learns that he is only playing the leading
part in game. Often he goes ont only
once in season and never unless the
