VICTORIA is OLD-FAsHlONED.

But as She's a Queen 1t Sounds Better to
Call her Conservative.
Queen Victoria is a remarkably coD-
servative old lady SO far as the routine
of life goes. She loves old customs and
doesn't like new things-not even new
furniture or new fashions. "When a
distinguished lady," it is said, "a few
years back, sent her children by her
majesty's request to Windsor, she sent
them dressed as was and is still the
mode, in tucked blouse dresses without
sashes. But the queen considered that
no child should be brought to her in
other but full dress, and full dress in
her mind did not exist without the
smart sash she had always known.
And very courteously but firmly she
made objection to the little frocks, and
asked that the next time the countess
brought her children to her that she
would not forget the sashes.'
The queen, says the New York Trib-
une, still wears the horrible congress
CATERS of thirty years ago in which her
foot shows no sign of Spanish instep.
Her children still address her in the
way which was fashionable when they
were little things. No member of the
upper class ever said Mother" then;
and from the eldest to the youngest
they still call the queen "Mamma."

quently than wild ones, might be sup
posed to exhibit the consciousness of
such differences in the most pro-
nounced way. Yet it is next to impos-
sible to cite an instance in which a dog
exhibits curiosity as to color, or iden
titles an object by its hue.
The writer has seen setter refuse
to retrieve black rabbit because it
apparently thought its master had
shot black cat. But a house-living
dog shows no preference for red car
pet or rug over a blue or variegated
one, and expresses no surprise or curl
osity whether its master wears a red
uniform or black evening suit. Do
mestic cattle are so far affected by vio-
lent contrast of white and dark that
the presence Of a black, white or very
clearly spotted animal in the herd
sometimes results in calves being
thrown of the same color or markings.
But though red is said to irritate bull,
and to excite hunters by association of
ideas, the latter statement rests partly
on surmise. They are equally excited
by the sound or sight of hounds, or of
number of riders, whatever the color
of their coats. None of the cats,
whether wild or tame, shows any par
tiality for bright hues; and among all
the stratagems used from time imme-
mortal by hunters, the use of color as
a lure for quadrupeds is notably alb
Spectator.

est attaches to the vacant space above
the tomb of the prince consort, for on
the now empty slab the carved efigy
OF the queen will one day lie.- When
her majesty first announced her inten-
tion of being buried by her husbands
side, considerable difficulties were
raised, and it was urged that an Eng
lish queen could only be buried among
her crowned predecessors at Westmin-
ster, or Windsor. But no arguments
have ever turned her majesty from her
purpose, and in time the beautiful in
closure at Frogmore will be her ac-
cepted royal cemetery. The mausoleum
of the duchess of Kent is but stones
throw from that of the prince consort.
Outwardly, says a writer in St. Paurs,
1T is the more pleasing of the two, and
the bridge across placid lake, by
which the mausoleum is approached.
and some fine weeping willows, lend
it most picturesque and peaceful air.
The anniversary of the prince con-
sorts death is passed by the queen in
absolute retirement. After the service
at the mausoleum her majesty retires
to her own apartments, where, if SO
disposed, she receives a few members
of her family. There is no music in the
castle on that day, and the princesses
and ladies of the household are ex-
pected to appear in black gowns, or in
grey with black bonnets and gloves

NO DOG IN HER HOUSE.
A Boarding House Keeper Tells Why She
Has Made This Rule.

Has Made This Rule.
Persons with dogs and other pets
meet with cold and clammy reception
in New York boarding-houses. They
may occasionally steal into fashionable
flats, where the landlord or agent have
no direct means of circumventing
them, but when it comes to the board
ing-house things are little more
definite.
nice-looking married couple went
into Twenty-third street boarding
house the other day and were made
comfortable. After the first dinner,
says the Herald of that city, the lady
was observed scraping together some
dainties from the board to take to her
room. The landlady, who is woman
of great decision of character, heard
of it, and her knock was shortly after
ward heard at the door of the new
boarders. The latter were Immediately
notified that either they or the dog
must vacate at once.

landlady, firmly. Pm not keeping a

How in the world they ever got

wouldn't let anybody but his owner
tamper with him. The man used to
lug him around with him everywhere
he went. One night. when the man
came in, he was feeling so oblivious to
earthly things that he left his dog
locked in the vestibule. The next
boarder who came in got no farther
than the vestibule, and landed down
the steps with square yard of trousers
missing. He was soon joined by an
other boarder, who wanted to come to

BOYS IN ENGLISH MINES.
A Movement to Aid Children Doomed "a
Hard Life.

Movement to Aid Children Doomed 10
Hard Life.
One of the next great movements
among the miners of Great Britain will
be in the interest of the boys em-
plOyed in the mines, whose condition.
though much better than it used to IL,
is still one OF much hardship. Bow
labor in the northern mines, says the
New York Post, consists of four kinds
of stages. First, there is the trapper;
next, the fiatter; thirdly, the driver,
and fourthly, the putter. The trapper
may begin work in his twelfth year,
after he has passed the fifth standard
at school. His duties are to open and
shut the doors as the trucks pass and
repass, and to look after the switches
of the tram lines. His shelter is a
damp, dark recess, his working day is
ten hours, and his average pay is rather
less than twenty-five cents day.
After two years or so of this work the
trapper is advanced to the rank of n
hatter. His occupation then consists
i'll coupling or uncoupling the strucks
or wagons. During his ten hours Of
service he has no recognized interval
for meals, and his average wage is
thirty cents a day. At fifteen
years of age as minimum the
boy miner may become driver. As
in the case of the flatter, the calls
upon him may now beincessant during
the whole Of his ten hours. At times
he may Eave breathing spaces and
brief periods of comparative leisure,
but his duties are both onerous and re-
aponsible, and his wages are about
thirty-two cents a day. The last of the
stages is that Of the putter, and it may
continue from the age of seventeen tn
swenty. The putsers were formerly
divided into trans" ''headsmen."
''foals" and :'half marrows;" these
were ali boys or youths, and their en-
ployment consisted in dragging or
pushing the corves containing the
Goals from the workings to the pas
sages. Now most of the work of trans
portation is effected by means of small
tram, cars and ponies, but the work Of
the putter is still exceedingly laborious
and exhausting. He works ten hours
4 day. for which he receives seventy
five cents.
