y,ctnria.s Powerful Family.

Queen Victoria's descendants will, in
the natural course of events, sit on the
following thrones. either already occu-
pied or to be occupied by them: Great
Britain and India, Germany tPrussial,
Hesse- Darmstadt, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha,
Sake Meiningen. Greece. Assuming
that the czarowitz really intends 10
marry the Princess Alice, the vast en-
pire of Russia will have TO be added to
the list. 1t may be stated here that, in
addition to the countries named, Queen
Victoria is closely connected by family
relationship with the king of the Bel
CLANS, and that she is also connected,
through the marriages of her children
and otherwise, with the ruling houses
of Russia, Holland, Denmark and
through Denmark, with Sweden, Nor
way and Baden and also with other
European sovereignties. Her near rel
alive, the duke OF Cumberland, is a
claimant to the throne of Hanover, and
it is probable that there is hardly a
non-Catholic sovereign house i'll Europe
with which Queen Victoria is not re-
lated either by blood Or marriage. And
the same may be said, more remotely,
of Catholic royal houses. The late Dom
Pedro, emperor of Brazil, was also re-
lated to Queen Victoria through the
Coburg family.-N. Y. Press.

AN ECCENTRIC DOCTOR.
A Misery Scot Who Was Celebrated for
His Odd Savings.

"A Misery Scot Who Was Celebrated Tor
His Odd Sayings.
In the border counties stories are 60
ing the round regarding the habits of
surgeon who died the other day after
practicing for the long period of sixty
one years. Eccentric, close-fsted and
with a reputation for odd sayings, the
doctor dressed like a traE and was
widely known over the borderland for
his peculiar habits. Cuffs and collars
were unknown to him, and his ordi-
nary garb consisted of pair of trou
sers and an overcoat buttoned tightly
at the throat. In his waistcoat pocket
he carried a pal. of rusty forceps to ex-
tract teeth and also quantity of pow
ders. These were of two kinds, white
and black, and were almost the only
medicines he dispensed.
When be attended church he always
left before the elders went around with
the ladle, and with his saving habits is
said to have left ten thousand pounds
The deceased used to pay two shillings
and six pence for his room, and it is
said he used to watch if any of the
landlady's family coughed, so that he
could say: THAT BARN of yours has a
cold; give her a hot Cruel and put her
to bed" When the next Saturday
came round he deducted shilling for
his professional advice!
Once he was called to a case where a
woman had dislocated her jaw. He
very soon put her right. The woman
asked how much was to pay. The
doctor named his fee. The patient
thought it was too much. He. how
ever, would not take less. and as the
woman refused to give him the fee. he
began to yawn. Yawning, as every
one knows, is infectious The young
woman in turn yawned. Her jaw
again went out of joint, and the doctor
triumphantly said Now, until you
hand me over my fee your jaw can re-
main as it is" Needless to say the
money was promptly paid. The doc
tors pony was known for its 1eanness-
1t is said he tried to feed it as he fed
himself-entirely at other peoples ex-
pense. The only thing he was ever
known TO buy for it was some peas
bannocks from baker. As far as pos
sible he kept the pony walking on the
grass to save its shoes, and he had
keen eye for bits of horseshoes which
might be lying on the roads. and which
lie had the blacksmith to weld to-
gether. He had whip for his pony
with crook az one cad. This he used
to gather tufts ot wool as he rode
through the moors- The wool he pnt
in his pocket. and when he had guam
tity of it gave il to an old woman who
might be due him on account to spin
and knit into stockings for hirn-Scot-

DOWN WITH The DINNER.
In Warm Weather Substitute Light Sr

/ A warm weather Substlfute Light Sup
pers for the Meal of Many Courses
/ An institution which should be abol
ished during the dog days is the even
ing dinner. Every woman who is in
the position of lady of the house and
maid of all work combined will appre
ciate the saving of energy and strength
such an abolition would be to her and
every woman who struggles along with
one servant should endeavor to use her
imagination in discovering what it
would mean to the servant.
AS for the man of the house, who
would probably feel that the time was
very much out of joint if he should not
find dinner of many courses awaiting
him on his arrival from work, he must
be dealt with gently and persuasively.
He must be shown that cool. fresh,
alert wife is TO be preferred above
soups, and maid of all work who VIII
consent to STAY month is better than
roasts- 1t may be difficult to convince
him, but the sight of a delicious
and satisfying summer supper will be q
powerful argument.
The table will not necessarily be COW
cred with white damask; the delicately
tinted luncheon cloths or the cover of
cool embroidered denim may be used.
The china. glass and silver must be in
their perennial state of brilliancy, but
if the family owns anything odd or I'M
usual, anything quaint and delicate in
the line of table ware, the summer sup
per is the place for its display. 1t is
also the place for the exhibition of won
derful taste in the arrangement of low
glass dishes filed with flaming nastur-
tiums or restful green leaves.
On this esthetically pleasing board
such dishes should find themselves as
are cooling and can be prepared early
in the morning, when strength and the
kitchen fire are both at their best.
There may be vegetable salads. pre-
pared early in the morning and left on
ice. There may be delicious sliced
meats, ham, tongue and chicken. All
sorts of dainty sandwiches could be
there-egg. cheese. lettuce and the like.
French rolls, made crisp by heating in
tin over the gas stove few minutes
before serving, are good. Graham
bread and sweet, hard butter will have
a new favor when it becomes an i'm
portant part of the meal
Then there must be a heaping bowl
of berries and plenty of sugar and
cream for them. Cookies, waters and
light cakes should be served with the
berries. Sometimes cold dessert, pre-
pared early in the day, may take the
place of the fruit. Apple snow, float
ing island, custards, blanc mango, me-
ringues and the like are light and re-
freshing and viii serve to vary the
monotony.
For drinks there are iced tea and cof-
fee, lemonade, orangeade and half
dozen others, for which each family is
sure to have cherished receipts.
If only the man of the house will
consent to take his necessary chop and
baked potato down town at his lunch
con hour, and the woman of the house
will eat satisfying and sensible
luncheon with the children at home,
there is no reason why the summer
supper should not become permanent
and the millennium be
thereby advanced century or two
