No one ever hears of very large dona
lions from the queen, for she is not lev
ish in that way. Her experience az
Princess Victoria of Kent was such as t.
render practical economy necessary,
and although quite young when called
to the throne the lessons taught by her
fathers financial troubles made their
impression and developed that prudence
which has guided her in her disburse-
ments during the many years of her long
reign.
Queen Victoria's charity begins at
home. Her first care is for the welfare
of those around her. Her solicitude for
the comfort Of those of her household is
proverbial. With rare tact, her maiesty
makes herself familiar with the circun-
stances and needs Of every member of
her vast retinue Of servants seven the
humblest domestic is not overlooked
and this without the least suggestion Of
an obtrusive espionage.
It is seldom that any of these gracious
acts within the royal household becomes
known to the public. Only once in
awhile, when the gift is of a general char
acter, does the ever watchful press get a
chance to chronicle it, as, for instance,
when her majesty, having ascertained
that number Of the children of the
domestic and other servants at Bucking-
ham palace were neglected in the mat
ter of education, ordered the purchase
of premises in Palace street, Pimlico,
and had them fitted up as school for
these children.
When it is considered that this school,
which opened with 86 scholars, was sup
piled with teachers Of tried ability, and
that the entire expense was betrayed by
the queen, who for nearly 40 years has
continued to support it out of her private
purse, it will be acknowledged that as
one of the incidentals this donation goes
long way toward rsfuting the charge
Of parsimony agaisst Engl..nd's illustri-
GUS monarch.
I find, however, from the same source
which I have hitherto quoted, that no
exaggeration is possible in any report
relative to her majesty's abnormally vioA
lent temper 1t is a fact that England's
queen is subject to outbursts of passion
that are simply astounding in their VIC
lence and often appalling in their results.
While these spaslns last it is often neces-
sary to resort to a degree Of restraining
force that is not compatible with our no.
lions of proper treatment of royalty.
Fortunately these exhibitions of tenn.
per are generally INDUCED as an indoor
amusement, and the public are spared
the modification of witnessing the ex-
travagant gyrations of their sovereign

stance where display of this ebullient
affection was made before a promiscu-
Gus assembly of her subjects. The occa-
sion was a naval review. The queen,
Prince Albert and some of the royal
children, with their usual attendants,
were on board the queens yacht, ready
to steam out to review the ships. The
pier was crowded with people in holiday
attire, and every eys was on the royal
yacht as she lay near waiting for the
signal to start.

Paper Hanging Is Not Nearly So Remuner-
alive an Occupation Formerly.
Especial Correspondence
New YORK, Sept. 29.-"A curious and
to men in my trade most disagreeable
thing" said James P. Archibald, repre-
sentative of the paper hangers in the
board of delegates toathe building trades
Of New York, lis the decline in the earn
ing capacity of paper hangers during the
past 10 years. Before 1883 some of the
most skilled men could easily earn 3d.
900 a year. Now there are very few
who can make half that amount. To
what do attribute this? Well, if were
to give you all my reasons, you'd think
some of them political, but the chief
cause has been the growing favor be-
slowed upon the higher forms Of artistic
interior decorations.
SIN the old days, when man built a
fine house. he devoted great deal Of
time and thought to the artistic paper
ing of it's interior walls, and skilled pa
per hangers with some sense of pleasing
harmonies and contrasts In color were
in great demand and could easily COM
mand fancy prices. Thirty-fve dollars
was not considered a large weekly wage
then by any means; $40 was often paid
and sometimes $50.
''Those were palmy days for grainers,
too, as the painters who with a brush
initiate the natural fiber of wood are
called, and paper hangers and grainers
were held in very high repute among
all classes. But natural wood oiled
and polished, and fresco painting, and
lincustra, and all sorts of decorations
and finishes supposed to be more artis-
tic. came in and little by little hammered
down our earnings and drove us practi-
cally out of the field, SO far as work in
the most expensive mansions is con-
cerned. I'm afraid paper hanging will
never reach it's old place again"

to Dealers In Cigarettes.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.-"It's an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" said a
travelling n IN, whose speciality is smok-
ers' goods, tome today. 1.-THE hard times
have been the means of Transforming
many cigar smokers into devotees of the
pipe, and the result is that the trade in
pipes, all things considered, is not SO bad
as it might be. No, the converts to pipe
smoking do not, as rule, buy meer-
schaums. They are too expensive when
one is not certain how long he is likely
to have to smoke pipe. The most pop
ular pipes with these men are of brier
or tulip wood. With some the pipe habit
will become fixed. Sometimes this will
be because the smoker learns to like the
pipe better than the cigar and sometimes
because, having realized from the change
how much money he has expended on
cigar smoking all his life, he makes up
his mind that it is an unnecessary waste
IT do not know" he went on, "that
dealers are apt to try to force trade in
either direction, but some are tempted
to drive the cigarette business all they
can. In fact, cigarettes are more profit
able under present conditions than either
cigars or tobacco. You see, the compe-
tition between cigarette makers has be-
come so great that, in addition to the
prizes and photographs which they put
in the small packages, they place certifi-
Gates and half certificates in the big
packages for the benefit of the dealers.
tThese certificates are redeemable in
goods such as spoons, knives, silverware
generally, clocks, umbrellas, guns,
watches and parlor organs. These goods
are of good quality and are worth all
they are scheduled in the cigarette man
ufacturers' catalogues. It would not do
for the manufacturers to attempt to
palm off inferior goods upon the deal
ers. In some of the larger cities there
are men who go about among the deal
ers and buy these certificates at dis
count and make a snug little profit on
the SUBJ squent sale of the goods. In
New York T know of two or three indi-
viduals who get almost their entire in
come in this way. AS there are more
than 1900 dealers in New York, it will
be seen that there is quite field there
for that sort of business enterprise"

to the fact that the people expected to
see her. Although not feeling in the
best of humor, she nevertheless stepped
out of the saloon and took seat on the
deck. The Prince of Wales, who was
then youth of between and Z years,
followed his mother and for few min
utes stood by her side. After the rounds
of cheering which her appearance called
forth had subsidized, and she had ceased
bowling her acknowledg she looked
around for the little prince, who had
moved away.
Observing him engaged in some child
ish amusement at short distance from
where she sat, she called him to come to
her. He did not Immediately heed her,
and she called again.
'sBertie, come here"
On his failure to respond to this second
command the queen, who could not
brook the least sign Of disobedience in
her children, jumped up in a towering
rage. and walked with rapid step to
where the young prince was. Selling
him, she drew him across her knee as
she sank into handy steamer chair and
proceeded to spank him with vim that
filed the spectators with astonishment
and the royal youngster with anguish.
A dead stiffness reigned, for the unex-
pected novelty of beholding vigorous
Gagellation of their future king by the
royal hands of his illustrious mother
rendered all present mute. It was not
until her majesty's wrath was well nigh
spent that the righteousness Of the posi-
ton suggested itself to some one on the
the pier, and an infectious laugh that in
stantly swelled into roar of merriment
recalled the exhausted queen to her
senses and drove her to seek the seclusion
which her cabin g-anted. On this occa-
sion no one seemed to suspect that her
gracious majesty was making use of the
Prince of Wales to work off fit u
chronic passion. Indeed the affesir was
accepted as royal example of parental
discipline, and no do BIT found imitators,
to the sorrow and regretof many a young
English Lad. GREGORY GRANT.
