Billiards the sport of Queens.

There are many houses, both in this
country and abroad, where the ladies
have asserted their rights to billiards,
and billiard-room to themselves. In
France, where billiards is universally
played, the game has become extreme
ly popular among women. The prin-
cesses of the English royal family have
contributed much to popularizing the
same throughout related courts in
Germany. Among the crowned heads
who play billiards may be mentioned
the dowager czarina, who is very skill
full at the game. Queen Margherita
of Italy is very fond of retiring with
her court ladies to her billiard-room,
believing the exercise of the game has
beneficial effect in retarding her
tendency to stoutness. Princess Leo
pold of Bavaria, the daughter of the
Austrian imperial pair, is reported to
be a very graceful player, and in her
Munich palace she and her children
have many interesting Journeys in the
afternoon hours. The queen regent of
Spain was, in her girlish days, fine
handler of the cue. Chicago Chronicle.

regard for the clock. AA he always
had something to say which we either
wanted or needed to hear, or both, 1t
never occurred to the congregation that
there was great, round-faced clock on
the front of the gallery softly ticking
its subdued "amens" all through the
service. Our preacher has been down
east great many years teaching
preachers how to preach, so we may get
back to the life-size sermons and whole
hymns again.
Well, that choir was 80 praised and
lauded, and deservedly so, that at last
It exalted its horn like the "horn of
an unicorn" and decided to take
entire charge of the musical portion
of the service. The leader, a young
man of sublime confidence, splen-
did voice, long, curling hair tucked un-
der at the ends, as was the fash
ion with young men at that day, like
the jack of spades, If you know what
that is, and wealth of bears grease,
favored with bergamot, came to the
preacher and said: "Mr. Seekpeace, I
must have the hymns for Sunday serv-
ice on Friday morning hereafter. have
changed rehearsal from Saturday to
Friday evening"
"But can't let you have them Friday
morning" the preacher said, because
I do not always know at that time what
I will preach about on the Sunday fol-
lowing. You may have them Satur-
day morning, rs usual"
But the leader would not have it that
way, and he said SO. The preacher
was man not given to controversy in
small matters. He said what he had to
say on the subject in few words Sc
lected from the English language,
principally monosyllables, and went
his way, as also did the leader, their
ways beginning at the same point and
running respectively east by east and
due west. The preacher sent the
leader the numbers of the hymns on
the morning of the Saturday following.
Sunday morning dawned. The con-
gregation, painfully arrayed in stiff
and starched and rustling garments

sacred to the day and the place, assem-
bled with customary decorum. One by
one the deacons walked up the aisles to
their places, timing their steps with
mournful squeaks that deepened the
solemnity of the hour and awakened
mirth only in the breasts of the younger
children, who were promptly thumped
to respectful silence by the catapult of
some adult finger. The hymn was
given out, and all the hymn books in
the pews rustled open. We listened
for the usual little muffled commotion
of the choir getting into position with
its little BUSINESS of small Alterations,
but there was most fearsome silence.
We turned our heads, looked up and
saw a gallery as empty as the foreign
mission treasury at the close of the
year. The presence of the singers
scattered here and there among the
congregation was explained Some
light-hearSed members of the choir
Uttered, but the rest of us were little
bit frightened. The preacher looked
up quickly and understood. He quiet
ly closed the hymn book, opened the
Bible, read the Scripture, offered
prayer, gave out the notices for the
week, preached his sermon and pro-
nounced the benediction. Calm and
unruffled and undisturbed was he, as
though that had been the order of serv-
ice for hundred years. The evening
service was conducted in like manner.
No hymns were given out. No refer
ence was made to the subject. He was
so quiet and natural that we began to
wonder if that hadn't been the way
we always worshiped, and had only
dreamed that we used to have a choir
and sang hymns of praise.
Of course, that wouldn't do. The dca-
cons came together, investigated the
trouble and proffered their services as
arbitrator. The leader was firm, the
preacher was adamant. Finally tie
latter said: "I'll tell you what I'll do:
1 will give the choir the hymns for the
next six months, and the leader may
have rehearsal any time that best suits
him"
The deacons carried the proposition
to the choir; it was accepted; the
gallery and the pulpit were recon
ciled; the preacher was meelly sub
missive, the leader was radiantly tri-
umphant. But, being disposed to be
gracious and magnanimous, he gave the
preacher two or three days to get over
| the first sharp humiliation and pang of
defeat, then called on him for tie
hymns. The preacher sat down and
wrote q long column of numbers, be-
ginning at / and running in regular
progression-2, 3, 4, s, 6, z, 8, etc.-up
to 1856.
There" he said, with the ar of a de-
feated man, "sing them as they come"
| The leader bowed as he took the list
with the kindly condescension of big
hearted conqueror and retired.
| The Sunday morning after the treaty
of peace was made the church meeting
house was crowded. In his pew, far up
in front of all others, sat Deacon Robert
Standfast. He was prosperous cattle
man, very Jacob, and had been out on
the prairies with his focks and herds
when all this trouble occurred. He
loved his pastor with all the tenderness
of big man. Deacon Standfast fairly
blazed with indignation when he
