QUEEN VICT0RIA'S DOGS.
Pets in Which Her Majesty Takes a
Great Interest.
Pail Man Gazette.


Her Majesty, as is we'll known, is fond of
dogs and G. b. Krehl, in supplement to
the Stockkeeper. gives some interesting
particulars, aseertaned on visit to the
kennels at Windsor, respecting the royal
canine pets. 1t goes without saving that
the animals receive every attention and are
admirably housed. Their sleeping apart
ments are carefully ventilated and hot
water pipes run through the length of the
building.
In the kennels are dogs Of nearly every
breed. For collies the Queen has always
shown q preference, and this accounts for
the number kept at Windsor. The Princess
Beatrice'S fancy" lies in the direction of
fox terriers, which are also we'll repre-
scented. We are glad to note, by the way,
that the fox terriers in the royal kennels
are not locked. 1t would be good thing if
the royal example in this respect were gen.
orally followed How any one can imagine
that mutilating dog adds to its beauty we
fail to understand.
Some of the royal fox terriers are GER

cleared out, had chance of distinguishing
himself, killed.22 rats in quarter of an
hour. Her Majesty, it should be said, fire.
quently inspects the kennels, ''inquiring
into everything affecting the health and
comfort OF the inmates, and giving each
animal a caressing pat and kindly word of
recognition"
When the royal dogs die they are laid to
rest beneath the turf where they gamboled
as puppies and were exercised when they
grew up. Each little grave is marked by
stone tablet about a foot long and eight
inches across, wherein few words are en-
graved, giving the name and date of DEATH"
Among the Inscriptions ON the tombstones
of the dogs are the following: Maurice.
favorite Mount ST. Bernard of H. r. H., the
Prince Consort, died November, 1864" A
little further away lies 'Prince, Scotch
terrier. Brought from Balmoral June IA.
1866. Died February g. 1874" and In the
shade of small fir rests "Nelle (colle)
mother of Bess. Flora and Sailor. Died

TINY TRAVELLERS.

Five Swiss Children Make the Atlantic
and TTanscontinentaI Trip Alone.
There was quite a little sensation at the
Market-street ferry yesterday morning al
half past o'clock. when the overland train
came in late. Among the passengers were
a whole family Of children, three girls and
two boys, who had come all the way from
Berne, Switzerland, without escort. Each
child was tagged" with an ordinary bag
Eage-eheck, marked "San Francisco" and
the eldest, who was only 10 years Of age,
bore letter from the Swiss Consul In New
York City commencing them to the care Of
the conductors en- route.
Evidently the children had been well
treated on the journey as they arrived in
fine shape, but their father, who was TO
have met them at the depot. did not turn up
in time. The American Exchange coach
took the little party up to the hotel, where
Mr.. Montgomery sized up the situation from
a philanthropic point of view, fed the
youngsters and had them put into CON-
Portable bed. At / o'clock in the afternoon
the father, j ohm Briggen, who is a Tancher
at WOodsde, San Mateo County, arrived
and there was a joyous reunion. The
mother of the children died In Switzerland
while her husband was trying to make a
home for her out here, and on hearing Of
her death he at once sent for the little ones.
The youngest child IS only years old.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
Fourth Semi-Annual Games of
the Academic Association.
Several College Records Lowered at the
olympic Grounds-s Splendid Jumping
and Pole Vaulting.

The Amateur Academic Athletic Asso-
citation held its fourth seml-annual field
day at the Olympic grounds yesterday after
noon.
1t was a success in every particular, and,
indeed, larger gathering of ladies has not
been seen at the Olympic grounds since the
opening day.
The young athletes who represented the
various collegiate institutions gave very
good accounts of themselves in the track
and field events.
The breaking of the collegiate record in
the lOng-distance jump by three men was
feature Of the meeting, which probably will
never occur again. Patterson, Culver and
Humphrey all cleared more than 20 feet,
which is a remarkably fine perfo rmance.
The coast record is q feet AZ inches, held

Nlcknames CT European Nations,

Englishmen have accepted the name Of
John Bull as suited to the national charac-
ter. A Scotsman is Sandy; the Irishman
derives his name of Paddy from his national
patron saint; while an ancient nursery
rhyme records that Taffy is Welshman.
English sailors call the Frenchman in con-
tempt Johnny Crapaud. but in France he is
Jacques Bonhomme or, as a bourgeois,
Monsieur Prudhomme. Cousin Michel Is
the name by which the German is known
to the CONGRATULATIONS. Mynheer Closh,
an abbreviaton of Nicholas, sums MP the
Hollanders, who are often simply known as
the Mynheers, while the Switzer rejoices in
the name OF Colin Tampon. We have all
heard of the Russian Bear and the Infdel
Turk, but these are hardly real nicknames.
Don Whiskerandos is almost national
nickname for the Spaniards, dated from
EliZabethan times. Italians are known as
Lazzaroni, and Danes are called Danskers.

Ye shall not find their trace;
No craven stone is at their head,
No green grass hides their face;
But sad and unseen is their silent grave
Ii may be the sand or deep sea wave,
Or Lonely desert place:
For they need no prayers and no mourning
bell
They were tombed In true hearts that knew

They healed sick hearts till theirs were broken,
And dried SAD eyes till theirs lost light;
We shall know at last by q certain token
How they fought ard fell in the fight

Passionate cries unehronlelsd,
And silent strifes for the right
