Things the Queen May Not Do.

Queen Victoria, not being born a
queen, probably learned to read just
like other persons. But after she be-
came afflicted with royalty she found
that a queen is not allowed to have d
great many privileges that the hum
lest of her subjects can boast. For in
stance. she isn't allowed to handle a
newspaper of and kind, nor maga-
zine, nor letter from any person eX-
cept from her own family, aud no
member of the royal family or house
hold allowed to speak to her any piece
of news in any publication. All the
information the queen is allowed to
have must first be strained through
the intellect of a 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 Oh a
silk sheet with a gold fringe all about
it, and presents 10 her unfortunate
majesty. This silken sheet with gold
fringe is imperative for all commun ca
lions to the queen. Any one who
wishes 10 send the queen a personal
poem or communication of any kind
{eXcept personal letter, which the
Door lady isn't allowed to have at all)
must have it printed in gilt letters on
one of these silk sheets with gold
fringe, Just so many inches wide and
no wider, all about it. These gold
trim mings will be returned to him in
time, as they are expensive, and the
queen is kindly and thrifty, but for the
0ueeu's presence they are Imperative.
fhe depriyations of the queens life
are pathetically illustrated by an in
cdent which occurred not long
ago:
An American lady sent her majesty
an immense collection of the flowers
of this country, pressed and mounted.
The queen was delighted with the col
lection and kept it Tor 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 say
ing that, being queen of England, she
was not allowed to have any gifts, and
that she parted from them with deep
regret. en- Watterson. in Philadel-

GentIenlanlineSS.

Kindly feelings, quick sympathies
and gentle manners, joined with true
self-respect, form the basis of that gen.
tlemanliness which is so naturally ad'
mired and coveted. Vulgarity, which
is so much dreaded and so much mis-
understood, consists in the absence OF
one or all of these qualities. 1t is not
vulgar to wear a coarse coat or a cheap
gown: but it is essentially so to dress
in fiue cloth or costly silk at the ex.
pense of ones creditors or ones peace
of mind. 1t is not vulgar to make d
mistake in the laws of etiquette; but
it is so to sneer at the one who makes
it, to ridicule ignorance, to be rude to
the aged, to scorn honest frugality,
A true gentleman may be poor or rich,
but will be- neither miser nora squan'
derer; he may be slenderly or thorough
ly educated, but he will be neither en-
vious nor supercilious; he may speak
a provincial dialect, but he will not
use slang; he may be reserved, but Will
not be cunning; he may be kGown or
unknown to fame, but will be neither
obsequious nor contemptuous.-N. Y.

He had boy in the boat with him
who kept looking into the water un:

"No, sah."
"C0usin?"
"No; no cousin"

A Nice way Of Drying Shoes.-As
soon as you come in from bad weather
take off your shoes and fill them with
dry oats, which will quickly absorb
all the moisture and prevent the leath'
er from losing its shape. Be particular
iy careful not to put your shoes near
the fire.
The next day take out the oats,
| which may be dried and made to serve
\again. If you do not like the idea OF
using oats stuff your shoes with fine
paper, which answers the same pur'
pose.

All authors agree that there is scarce
ly function of the body which es
capes the injury done by the influence
of great detection of spirits. That
long-continued grief and anxiety OF
mind hastens the development of Other
diseases, can readily be believed, and
when those affections are once mani
tested their progress is more rapid when
urged on by the depressing influence
of this harassing passion.

A MERRY HEART.
American Girls Who Make the Best OF
Everything In Life.

American Girls who Make the Best of
Everything in Life.
Here is a proverb which found in
book the other day: american girls
never whimper." The writer was
speaking of that class of American girls
who belong among the breadwinners,
and who meet the Encouragement and
heavy burdens of their toilsome lives
with an accomplishing pluck which
has passed into this proverb. read
the paragraph with thrill of pride.
What splendid praise was bestowed
upon my countrywomen!
Let me tell you about two American
girls who live in the town with me.
They do all their own work, as the
phrase is; have to getup unconscionably
early in the morning to start the men
of the family off to business; some
member of the household is always i'll,
to be diligently cared for by them;
they copy on typewriter for hours
every day; they live mile away from
most of the town gatherings and festiv-
| tiles. Sit down by those girls and talk
to them. Do they entertain you with
an account of their troubles? Do they
want sympathy for the family aches
and pains and the cares which rest on
their young shoulders? Not they.
There is certain breezy cheerfulness
about them, wide awake determine
ton to make the best of things and en-
| JOY life, which raises your own spirits
several degrees before they leave you.
They have their faults; they giggle too
much, for one thing; but they never
whimper.
Another instance: A young lady, the
last of long list of brothers and sisters
and first cousins, and petted and spoiled
without stint by them all, married,
with bright prospects. Very soon a
change of fortune left the young couple
without penny. Then it was that our
American girl showed the stuff of which
she was made She dismissed her serv-
ants, and moved, with her delicate hus-
|, band, into tiny box of house. She
opened school for her little nieccs and
nephews, made dresses for them, and
for others of her friends, displayed a
veritable genius for thrift and manage
ment. And the most amazing thing of
all was the holiday spirit which she put
into the whole of it. 81 love to teach, y
she was quoted as saying repeatedly:
81 am always sorry when school-time is
over"
Years after, when the worst of her
difficulties had smoothed themselves
out, her brother said to me- Ellen
never complained, not even to us, her
own people, not even when things were
at the darkest Whatever gloom OF
encouragement she may have felt, she
kept to herself. TO her most infinite
friends she showed herself just as she
did to the general pablo You may call
it pride if you like; but J tell you. the
world would be good deal more com'
Portable il there more OF that sort o.
pride

The water is drawn from the upper
pail by capillary attraction, keeping
the canvas blind saturated with water.
The air before passing into the room
has to pass over and under this sat
urated blind and, owing to the evapora-
ton, is considerably cooled. The poor
air passes out of the hole in the door.
Experience has proved that such a

TO KILL TREE-BORERS.
Unadulterated Kerosene the Best Rem

Unadulterated Kerosene the Best Rem
edy Yet Discovered.
Quite number of ways for destroy
ing the larvae of various kinds that live
in the bark and sapwood of the apple
and other varieties of the fruit trees
have been published, says c. b. Ashton
in Insect Life, bnt none of them are as
good, in my judgment, as the way that
| now recommend / know of no
better way of putting a stop to their
depredetions than by using unadulter-
ated kerosene quite freely wherever
the castings of the larv@ are seen pro-
truding through the bark. AS soon as
the kerosene comes in contact with the
bark it is absorbed and carried by
capillary attraction until it permeates
the whole burrow and comes in contact
with the larvae, and then soon this
noted little tenant is lifeless.
In using kerosene there is no use cut
ting, digging into or in any way mutt
lating the tree to find the Larvae. The
fluid kerosene will find it, and this is
enough for practical purposes, and then
nature steps in" with her ''healing
art" and mends the damage done to the
tree. The amount of kerosene used
for this purpose is so small that it en-
dangers in no way the health of the
tree. A person can visit and inspect
many trees in single hour, and if nee
ossary apply the spout of a can and
Aow small amount of kerosene in
various places.
The beauties OF this way of killing
the borers are no mutilation, quick
cork. sure death and little expense.

This roof may be made of bark or
shingles. This permits free passage
of air under the roof and over the cell

are also shown to be double, the space
to be filed up with sawdust or charcoal,
but this is not absolutely necessary.
At the opposite end of the room will be
