The Queen frowns on the theatrical
profession, and, so far as our knowledge
goes, has never accorded recognition to
any of the stage divinities that have been
drafted by marriage into the peerage.
These peeresses will, no matter how
slightingly the Queen may treat them,
have the right to be present at the next
coronation Gf there ever is another) and
stand UP with the other peeresses and
display their coronets. At the drawing
rooms tho sovereign greets the consorts of
peers with a kiss Oh the left cheek, while
she extends to all others her hand to be
kissed. 1t is said that the Prince Con-
sort expressed an unalterable repugnance
to permitting his wife to bestow this
salutation upon eX-actresses. and that the
Queen, respecting this sentiment, has
continued to bar eS-professionals from
these functions Looking at it from the

TO MEASURE FOR PAPER.
Rules Which if Followed Makes This a
Very EASY Task.

Rules Which if Followed Makes This a
Very Easy Task.
AS different paperhangers pursue differ
ent methods in hanging paper, so there
are various rules and forms for Iaeasur-
ing rooms. We therefore append several
methods, any of which will bring the de-
sired result.
AS most paper when trimmed is eight
cen inches wide and tWentyfour feet to
4 single piece, a piece will contain thirty
SIX square feet.
Measure the length and height of each
wall i'll feet and multiply. Add together
the number Of square feet Of each wall,
getting total number of square feet. Di-
vide this total by thirty-siN, which will
give you the number OF pieces required
for side wall. Allow one-half piece of
paper for each door and window.
70 allow for waste in matching it is
safer to divide by thirtythree instead of
thirty-siX.
To find number of single pieces required
for ceiling, multiply length by width, i'll
feet and divide by thirtysthree.
4 Mental Rule.-Suppose 4 room to
be five yards long by four yards wide,
which nets eighteen yards around the
room. This is equal to thirty-siX half
yards or breadths of paper. For each
door or window allow two breadths. Our
example room having two doors and one
window, we allow six breadths, which
brings us down to thirty breadths The
room being nine feet high, we divide by
five, which gives us result of six dou-
BILE or twelve single pieces.
For a room seven feet high divide by
six. A room eight or nine feet high, di-
vide by five. A room ten or eleven feet
high. divide by four.-kayser & All

A Snake and a Chicken.

V. L. Davis. who lives some miles dis
tant from Benton, La, heard a noise in
his henhouse and took a lantern to in
vestigate. Opening the door cautiously,
he walked the whole length of the hen
house. but discovered nothing. AS he
turned round to start out. however, he
found the cause of the commotion to be
a big black chicken snake, which was
hanging by it's tail from a beam just
above the door, with half-grown pullet
partly swallowed and dangling from his
mouth. Davis lost no time in demolish-
ing the offender, and setting the pullet
free. Strange to relate, the only injury
which seemed to result to the chicken
from her downward course into the ser
pentine interior, so to speak, is that the
feathers about her neck are now friZzled.
whereas before they were straight, like
those covering the rest of her body.
