THE QUEENS CONTEMPORARIES
Those Who Have Passed Away During

Those Who Have Passed Away During
Her Mnjssty's Reign.
Where, midst the countless inhabit-
ants of the British empire at home and
abroad, is there anyone now living who
can have known, seen and conversed
with so many of her greatest and most
illustrious contemporaries as our good
and gracious queen? In politics, in art
and in science, in peace and in war, in
church and state, in literature and
poetry, in invention and engineering
in music and song, in the wide field OF
social success, in charm of converse.
ton, of personal beauty and linguistic
attainments, hardly man or woman
has won fame and distinction without
having been honored by the queen with
one or more interviews. Were we to at
tempt to recall the vast army of the de
parted that she has known and holds
in her faithful memory this column
might easily be swollen into a volume
Here, for instance, are some of those "fa-
miEar people; death has made them
dear" Of whom Crabbe spoke lines
which Sir Walter Scott could never
read without tear. People who, like
the specters appearing to Britomart, in
Merlin's mage glass, must, from time
to time, fash before her majesty's ret
respective eyes and fill her mind with
gentle, pleasing melancholy which
resembles sorrow only as the mist re-
semblcs rain"
The queen has outlived all the mem
bers of the privy council who were
alive in 1897.
All the peers who held their titles in
1887, except the earl of Darnley, who
was ten, and Lord Nelson, who was IA,
in that year.
All the members who sat in the house
of commons on her accession to the
throne, except Mr.. Gladstone, Mr..
Charles Villiers, the present duke of
Northumberland, the earl of Mex
borough and the earl of Mansfield, and
Mr.. John Temple Leader.
Her majesty has seen IL lord chan
cellors, ten prime ministers, six speak
ers of the house of commons, at least
three bishops of every see and five or
six of many sees, five archbishops Of
Canterbury and six arcnb,snops of
York, and five commanders in chief.
She has seen Ave dukes of Norfolk
succeed each other as earls marshal,
and has outlived every duke and duchess
and every marquis and mnrchioness
who bore chat rank in 1887.
She has outlived every member Of the
Jockey club and every master Of fox
hounds that flourished in 1897.
She has seen IL presidents Of the
United States, ten viceroys of China, IS
viceroys Of India, and France success
sively ruled by one king, one emperor
and six presidents Of n republic.

GRANT AND WASHINGTON.
Two Wonderful Serials which 'SThs Cen
tury Magazine Has Secured for 1897.

Two Wonderful Serials which 1.-THE Cen
t~ry Asgs.i.s'' Has Secured for 1897.
One Of the best friends that Gen.
Grant ever had WAS Horace Porter.
There firstmeeting was at Chattanooga
in the autumn of 1868. and soon after
Gen. (then Captain) Porter became a
member of Grants staff and served with
him constantly until Lees surrender
When Grant became president Horace
Porter was made his private secretary
and until Gen. Grant bresthcd his last
at Mount McGregor the two men were
close friends. Nor did Gen. Porter's
love for his chief cease with his death,
for to him is due the success of the move
ment to raise the half million of dollars
which the Grant monument in River
side park will cost. The Inauguration
Of the tomb will take place next spring
on Grants birthday, and Gen. Porter
will be the orator of the occasion.
During these years of intimacy with
Grant Gen. Porter kept a diary, and in
his moments Of leisure he has arranged
his unique stories of anecdotes and
memoranda into series Of twelve ar
ticles, entitled campaigning with
Grant, and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and
will print it during the coming year.
Since the famous Century War
Series" for which Gen. Grant himself
wrote four articles (the beginning of
his "Memoirs'o, no magazine has had
such treat to lay before it's readers.
Another great serial in The Gen.
fury is a novel of the American Revo-
luton, written by the well-known Phil
adelphia physician, DR.. s. Wier Mitch
ell, whose literary reputation is as high
as his standing in his own profession.
The story is supposed to be the auto
biography Of the hero, Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" who becomes an officer
on Gen. Washington's staff. Social life
in the capital, Philadelphia, is most in
terestingly depicted, and the characters
In the story include Washington,
Franklin and Lafayette. The readers of
Hugh Wynne, the Free Quaker" will
obtain clearer idea of the Revolution
airy War than can be had from any
other single source. It is believed that
DR.. Mitchell has written "the great
American novel," for which we have
been waiting so many years.
These are only two of the features OF
The Century for the coming year-the
magazine that leads the world Of pc
riodical literature. Very few Of our
readers will be without Il in 1897. It
costs $500 a year. not too high n price
for what The Century gives, but
many people are arranging to club
together in groups of four, paying
one dollar each, and securing the
reading of the magazine one week
In the month. The publishers advise
the making up of clubs early. Send
$500 to The Century Company, Union
square, New York, with the name of
the person to whom the magazine
is to be sent. II you begin your
subscription with the December Christ
mas) number, the publishers will send
you copy Of November free, in which
the two great serials begin.

THE QUESTION OF PHOSPHORUS
Value of . Fish Diet In Bringing About
Intellectual Development.


Intellectual Developments.
1t is a homely saying that fish diet
on account of the amount of phospho
rus supposed to be found in fish is most
desirable for the sustenance and benefit
of those who use their brains. There
is general opinion that fish is the fooc
for men of genius, but though THU
claim has repeatedly been disputed, fish
diet continues to find favor among many
persons. The Saturday Review has re
Gently taken up controversy with
some of the British medical journals
on this subject, and in the course of II
declares that "the style and character
of DIR. johnson remained the same
whether he drank lemonade and tea OF
port and punch" On champagne and
ortolans, the writer adds, Burns would
have written neither better nor worse
than on collops and toddy.
This controversy has revived some in
auiry into the matter of fish as diet
apart from the effects produced upon
celebrated individuals. It is fact well
known and not disputed that profes.
sional fishermen are not noted for in
tellectual activity. The Cornishmen OF
England, the Brittany fishermen OF
France, and the Newfoundland fisher
men of North America, to say nothing
of the fishermen of the Jersey coast,
the Long Island coast or of Massachu-
setts, do not rival the graduates of es-
tablished universities in forensic de-
bates or Pathological controversies. In
Germany, for instance, the consumption
Of fish to the inhabitant averages eight
pounds a year. In Portugal the average
is ~ pounds, and it will not be contend
ed that the Portuguese are, generally
speaking, more intellectual than the peo-
pie of Germany. The consumption of
fish in Norway is far in excess of what
It is in Italy. The average consump-
ton of fish In the city of Paris is 80
pounds to the inhabitant year; in
the large cities of Russia of which rec
ords are preserved the average is so
pounds, and 1t is not easy to establish
from these figures any equation which
would show that the consumption of
fish is favorable to the mental develop
ment of the inhabitants.
There is one benefit which fish pos
sesses over other elements Of diet; it
retains more OF it's substance in boil
ing. One hundred pounds of beef boiled
shrinks to 81; 100 pounds Of mutton
boiled to rs; 100 pounds of fish boiled
to "a. On the basis of nutritive value,
taking beef as the standard, Goldfish rep
resents 6s, turbot IS, herring 100-the
same as beef-and salmon 10s, little

rs desirable food as any, but an ex-
elusive fish diet Is not particularly

at hand to show, to the development Of
