A Queens Taste.


Queen Victoria possesses one of the
finest cellars OF wine in Europe. The
accumulation of stock during the past
twenty years has been enormous, and
the large cellars at Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace are now filled al
most to the extent of their capacity
The collection of old ports, sherries,
and especially Madeiras, is extremely
fine, great quantities of these wines
having been purchased by George ",
and now, of course, represent some OF
the rarest vintages. 1t is q curious fact
that the 1920 port, Of which there is a
considerable stock, is nearly as dark
and full-bodied as it must have been the
day it was bottled, and in this respect
affords a wonderful contrast to the 1884
and 1913 wines, both of which have al
most entirely lost their color. There is
also a wonderful collection Of Cabinet
Rhine wines, presented to Her Majesty
at various times by her German rela-
tives. Mr.. Thomas Kingscote holds the
excellent post of Gentleman of the
Cellar, and his duties are Of an exceed
ingly agreeable nature, being chiefly
confined to satisfying himself that the
various wines under his charge are not
"going off" in any way. The Gentle
man of the Cellar has charming suite
Of rooms in St. James Palace and a
very comfortable salary

His Taste Shocked.

One of the popular English authors Of
the day was wholly incapacitated from
work by a lady who lived next door and
strummed through Handels ones
siah." His idea of the invioIability of
an Englishman's house did not allow
him to send in any message, and he was
at his wits end till he saw in q daily
paper that steam-Whistles could be
bought to fit on to kettle-spouts. He
provided himself with one, and put the
kettle on the fire in the room nearest
the singer. As soon as the whistle be-
gan, he went out. OF course the bot
tom came off the kettle, but it cost little
to solder it on again, and after two or
three solderings the lady took the hint.

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When the waves
play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed
must be the stomach that can stand 1t without
revolving. Tourists, commercial travellers,
yachtsmen mariners, all testify that HostetteT S
Stomach Bitters is the best remedy for the nausea
experienced in rough weather on the water
Nervous and weakly travellers by land often
suffer from something akin to this, and find III
the Bitters its surest remedy. No disorder OF the
stomach liver or bowels is so obstinate that 1t
may not be overcome by the prompt and thor
ough remedy. Equally etticacious is it for
chillS and fever kidney and rheumatic trouble
and nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provide themselves with this tine
medicinal safeguard against the effects of vi
cissitudes of climate, hardship, exposure and
fatigue.
