Queen insists on other people being
equally regafdful Of time and temper. No
official letter viii she read which Is NOT
submitted 10 her unfolded and without
creases. Al her correspondence Is con-
Quoted on invariable lines, and anv devta-
tons therefrom are unfavorably regarded
The Queens private letters number
many hundreds every year. She writes
currente calamo to her numerous rela-
tiyes, forgetting no anniversary or occa-
sion on which letter might be welcome.
TO the younger members of the royal
family She never fails to send birthday
gifts. accompanied by a few loving words
of greeting. Every day the birthday
book is cOnsulted-not that birthday book
in which singers, actors. and other per-
sOnages are asked TO write. but that
smaller volume, preserved for relatives
and intimates. Then, there are numerous
letters Of a semi-private nature which
are written by the Queen herself letters
OF coincidence, letters OF congratulation
TO brides who have been connected with
the court, letters to foreign monarchs.
Besides all these epistles, written in the
blackest Of ink on paper slightly edged
with black, there are thousands which are
penned by the private secretary and his
assistants. The late Sir Henry Ponsonby
was so conscientious in this respect that
there Is little doubt that he fastened

himself write formal letters of inquiry
as 10 the safe return Of an actor or singer
who had performed before the Queen. or
he would send an order I'm the Queens
name for goods-labor which might well
have been deputed to a less busy man.
Sir Henry regarded nothing too trivial
if Il was n command from the Queen
and the writer has seen many letters in
his firm calligraphy, asking, for instance,
for the attendance of some artist, or re-
plying with OldWorld courtesy. 10 an
impossible request for her Majesty's au-
tograph. And many Of these letters were
submitted to the Queen for approval.
TINE SPENT WITH VISITORS.
Then the demands on the Queens time
for the reception Of distinguished visitors
and officials have grown, rather than less
ened with advancing years. There are not
only ministers OF State seeking interviews
but bishops presidents OF different insti-
tutloRs. military and naval officers who
have TO be introduced. court officials with

other calls upon the Queens patience

for instance. who are not idolators b. any

The real idol-worshippiDg races Of the
earth are still very numerous however
most of them being on the many Islands
I'm the Pacific Ocean. There are also num-
hers of them I'm Africa, particularly along
the West Coast.
The West African idol is particularly
absurd in the matter Of proportions. The
style common 10 these natives Is an image
about three feet high on horse, which
,vould have been better fitted for figure
loss than a foot tall. But as most Of
these idols were carved out OF a
single piece of wood with the
,udest kind of native tools, tho
results are not as bad as they might
be A more common form Of idol among
these natives Is block OF wood fashion
ed with the very best possible resem-
bIance to the human form, and stuck fun
OF nails. These IDOLS come from sections
where iron is extremely rare and where
a single rusty nail is worth its weight
five times over in gold. The popularity
of this form of idol can always be judged
bv the number and the size Of the nails

PICTURESQUE IDOLS.
The Sandwich Island idols are more pic
turesoue than those Of the African saw
ages. A rare style Is one consisting only
of head and neck. and made Of feathers.
The interior frame Is wicker and the COW
ering is OF red and yellow feathers. The
ewes are of mother-of- pearl. with black
beads for pupils. and the smile Is border
ed by a dogs teeth. The whole aifair Is
considerably bigger than the usual human
head
In regard to feathers, II may be Of in
terest 10 state that the yellow feathers
are OF a most precious ana rare sort
They come from little bird. which the
natufalists call Melitreptes Pacinca. The
little bird has under each wing one single
feather and no more. and that only an
inch long, so that the work OF collecting
"a sufficient number OF these feathers 10
cover the head OF an idol was gigantic
task In itself.
The natives OF the Cook or Hervey
islands are great fishermen. and they fix
their idols In the bows OF their canoes
for the purpose OF frightening the evil
spirits and propitiating the good ones.
The natives are singrlarly benghted.
One OF them who was taken aboard an
English ship described The "esssl. on his
return TO his friends. as a floating island
with two rivers flowing on II and planta-
lions OF sugar-cane growing on II. The
facts in the case were that the ship
pumps were being worked Ut the time.

The natives OF the island Of Sumatra
are n curious mixture from a religious
standpoint. They have idols which they
bow down to, and all OF those have three
horns sticking up from the top of the
head. The Sumatran belief Is complex. He
believes in supreme ruler whom he calls
Batara Guru; he rules in Heaven, and Is
