Queer Things
Abott the Queen.

The queen is barely five feet tall, but
she wears a No. 5 shoe, made in the
style of the ordinary congress gaiter.
The heels are less than one-half-inch in
height, and the CATERS are fiat and
broad. Their only ornamentation is
tips Of patent leather. She has no
fancy for new shoes, and wears pair
Of CATERS until they are literally worn
out She pays but 20 shillings a pair
for them, or trifie less than SIS.
Twenty-Five physicians are employed
by the queen to look after her health.
Most of them receive a yearly retain
ing fee of $1,000. These include physi-
clans, surgeons, dentists, oculists and
chiropodists None of these acts

into the industry and set all the fac

bones.
All this had not the slightest effect
upon the queen. She refused abso-
lutely, saying that the wearing Of rib
bon was inconsistent with her idea Of
mourning. The ribbon workers de-
parted, and Coventry was ruined. For
more than generation 1t was a dead

-Four yachts are maintained for the
exclusive use of the queen. They cost
originally 1875. 000. She only uses the
newest Of them for two or three days
in the year. To maintain it the crown

One thousand functionaries are en-
ployed In the queens household.
Whenever she moves from one palace
to another many Of them accompany
her. The nominal head Of this army
Is the lord steward, who receives a
salary of $4,000 a year. His Office Is
sinecure, as he does nothing but
appear at court on state occasions in
gorgeous uniform.
The real chief is the master of the
household, who receives S., 100 per an
mum. All disputes arising among the
army employed in the royal palaces are
settled by two ancient bodies called
the board Of green cloth and the court
Of Marshalsea. The green cloth court
attends to matters concerning Buck
ingham palace, and the Marshalsea to
disputes in all other royal palaces. In
both cases the presiding officers are
the lord steward, treasurer, controller
and master Of the household Origin
ally this body had the power to try all
criminal casesS like murder, forgery
and robberysrasewell as civil matters,
providing they happened within GER
tain distance of the royal palaces. or
late years the scope Of these unique
courts has been circumscribed. All
questions Of etiquette and precedence
are decided by them, and occasionally
they render decisions under the lofty
advice of the attorney general.
Part of the household is made up
of a state band, consisting Of a master,
a conductor, twenty-five instrumental
lists, a sergeant trumpeter, nine house
hold trumpeters and a number OF
household drummers. These worthless
all bask in the sunlight of sinecures.
