An Ense-Loving Queen.

1t is said Of Queen Victoria that she
has been going corsetless and whale
homeless ever since her widowhood. Her
shoes are made of soft leather with lon
gitudinal rows of whalebone in the tops,
making a support for the ankle. They
are said to be glove-fitting, and yielding
to every movement of the foot. Her
Majesty is certainly the smallest OF the
great monarchs, but has never tried to
Increase her height, as others have done,
by means of preclpitous heels and head
dresses.

The Adventists' Belief.

To the Editor:
An Associated Press despatch from Battle Creek,
Mich, says: Tho hdventlsts believe. H. Is said,
that after the world ends their buildings will
be preserved and they will return and occupy
them" This Ia a mistake. The Adventists' be-
lief Is that In connection with tho end OF the
world all things earthly will be destroyed with
out exception. and that the sirth will lie waste
for 1000 years without human inhabitant. The
condition OF the earth during the thousand years
is described in the thirty-fourth chapter OF Isaiah.
The thirty-nfth chapter describes Its condition
after the thousand years. This In the new
earth mentioned also In tho nfty-nuh and nifty
sixth chapters OF Isaiah aad again in Peter H.,
