Although 1t has frequently been stat
ca that newspapers are carefully kept

among those acquainted with the
Queens private life that no current
events or topics escape her attention.
Indeed, SO curious Is she about the prin.

never rests until she has obtained their
photographs. Among her Majesty's
most curious photographs Is one Of
Louise Michel.

NTer Dic.W

In one Of the provincial hospitals the
management adopted the system Of
having tablet affixed to each bed,
on which the doctor might write his
directions about the patient.
One old fellow, who was being treated
for rheumatism, was consumed with
curiosity to know what was written
about him, and when the nurse was
called away managed to get peep at
the tablet.
When the nurse returned she was
surprised to find him in dire distress,
grooming and moaning.
ooh, dear!-Oh, dear! got ter dle!-I
got ter die!"
"What is 1t? Are you feeling worse?"
she kindly inquired.
"N-not num-" he grOaned;
"but ! got ter die. The doctor have
wrote 1t on my ticket"
The patient was relieved and the
nurse amused when 1t was found the
doctor had ordered some simple change
of medicine, professionally adding the
words: "Ter die"-three times q day.

Duly Sanctioned,

At Fort Monroe some time ago,
where one of the vessels Of the navy
was temporarily awaiting orders, a
delegation Of army officers stationed at
the fort came aboard. There Is set
naval regulation that nothing can be
80 on board ship until the commanding
officer orders 1t. While the army party
were looking over the ship, twelve
o'clock arrived. A junior officer mp.
preached the captain and said, with a
salute: ut Is twelve o'clock, SIR"
make 1t So" responded the captain,
and eight bells were struck. The army
officers suspected that the navy men
wanted them to ask some questions and
get sold, or that this was bit Of fool
cry got up to joke the land warriors.
Some time after, party Of the army
officers invited the officers Of the war;
ship to dine with them. The dinner
was progressing when lieutenant en-
tered and, saluting the senior officer
present. said, gravely: "COlonel, the
Majors blind horse Is dead" make
It So" responded the Colonel with the
greatest gravity, and the dinner pro.
ceeded. Nothing was said at the time,
but the navy officers tell the story.

Work a. Q Refuge.

Walter Scott and Alexandra DumaD
were alike In their power OF industry.
Scott used to say, when talking Of his
work, that he often wished he could
cease thinking, just to see whether his
pen would not finish the page Of itself.
The great French romancer's capacity
for continuous labor was even more
extraordinary. TO him, indeed, rs per.
haps to all such men, work was refuge
from all the Ills Of life.
For forty years he suffered from some
internal disease which, when 1t was
upon him, made It impossible for him
to sleep.
When Alexandra Dumas, the young.
or, was just out Of college his father
took him on a hunting trip. They put
up at n farmhouse. and occupied two
little bedrooms which opened into each
other. In the middle Of the night the
son was awakened, and saw his father
walking back and forth.
"What IRE you doing?" asked the
boy.

Hard TO Say.

Even in the present age of enlighten-
ment and progress, there are always
people who are not as fully Informed rs
they desire to be.
An American who had spent much of
his time among the Indians of this
country, found himself, during visit
to England, seated Mt II table next a
genial and laxative woman, who
seemed thirsting to hear of all his
thrilling experiences.
"And now about the wlgwams," she
said, anxiously, at one point of the mar
rative with which he was endeavoring
to entertain her; fare they so very ven
omous, Oh have read exaggerated re-
ports?'

says, "what she thought she was talk

Who Was tho Martyr Of AIgiers.

In the sixteenth century the town OF
Oran. on the north coast Of Algerla,
was held by the Spaniards. Between
the Christian garrison Of the place and
the Barbary pirates there was frequent
warfare, ana 1t was during sally frOD,
the town that several MOOrs were cap.
tured, among them mere child, who
was baptized into tho Christian
Church by tho name Of Geronimo.
When s years old he was carried off
by some Arabs who managed to escape
from Oran during a panic caused by
the plague. Restored to his parents ha
turned MOslem again. At the age Of
%, however, Of his own accord he went
back to Oran and entered the house
hold Of Juan Caro-, from which he had
been removed seventeen years before.
Once more he became Christian, mar.
rled one Of CarO's slaves. Joined tho
army, and lived happily for ten years.
Then, In 1860, he took part In an expe.
ditlon against the corsairs. The pi'
rates won the day, captured Geronimo
among others, and conveyed the pris'
oners to Alglers. As one who had TO-
nounced the Moslem faith they dealt
very bitterly with him. They required
him either to renounce Christianity ut
once or suffer death. He chose the lat.
ter and met his fate bravely. They
devised n cruel torture for him, build
ing his dead body In the wall of for
tress. This happened on September 1S,
1860. On the 9th Of December, 1853,
this fort was being torn down, and
Geronimo's skeleton was found ~
the ruins. His remains were removed
to the cathedral Of st. Philip, and rev.
erently buried there. Geronimo's
memory, however, has always been
cherished as the martyr of Algiers.
