Yet. 20 Re Queen

There is one serious disadvantage
about the queen business 1t is sad
give away as TO lady's oge, for OF
course sovereign's birth is n matter OF
official record and Of public informn-
ton. Abiding to this Il writer in the
Boston Herald says: Everybody elses
views on the jubilee have been reported,
but as the London Chronicle observes,
what are the queens? What does it
mean to her? Why, this, it seems:
This jubilee means one thing said her
majesty, at the garden party at Buck
ingham palace to one of her most hon
ored guests, it means that am very
old woman Victoria gracefully ac-
knowledges that she is old; that moth
ing can now be done to disguise the
fact of her seventy-eight years. And
this reminds me of comment once
made by distinguished Doston wom-
an who had confessed to a dread of
growing old. Thank heaven she said,
L was not born n royal parsonage. No
body need know when my birthdays
are!'"

A Elnnh Story.

An odd story comes from Guthrie as
pm incident of the recent great flood.
Something more than year ago a
young couple of the town were mar
Fied, but inside of six months they quar-
relied and parted-his wife going to the
home of her mother, while the husband
put up at a boarding house. The home
of the mother wns in the track of the
Hood, and the young husband made a
heroic effort to reach the house and res.
cue the inmates. BY daring perform
nnce in swimming he succeeded in get
ting there and found the family safe
I'm the second story, and later he
brought them all safely to the shore.
Upon entering the room of his wife
he found q three months old baby in
her arms, of whose existence he was
aware, though never having seen the
child. The danger made both husband
|and wife forget their differences, and
hhey became very affectionately re-
united, though it would appear to be
Very much of n question whether the
Reconciliation can last. A man who
could live three months within five
blocks of his firstborn and never go
TO see it hasn't enough of human senti-
ment about his organism to remain
faithful to anything.

Nearly 1000 teachers of the public
bechools of California will be unable to
draw any pay for their services until
the next session of the Legislature.
Such is the opinion of those versed
fn the school laws of the state. This is
owing to the fact that Gov. Budd saw
at to veto the appropriation for the
state printing office. In consequence
the school registers, which are requisite
under the present laws, cannot be OBJ
tained for the teachers, and unless these
registers are in their possession and
properly filled out the county super
antendents are forbidden to draw war
rants in their favor. These registers
must be provided, like all other sup
piles, by the superintendent of public
INSTRUCTION. 1t is also expressly pro-
vided that they must be printed in the
state printing office

Among the news curiosities is a story
from Walnut Valley, N. j., about the
killing of rattlesnale, in which were
Found secreted a rubber ball, q tin
whistle, a child's milk bottle, etc.; from
Cambridge, Mass, came tale of a
biennial shower of toads; from Wash
ington, Pa, the story of dog that
ate bees until he died; from Camden,

from Bloomingdale, ILL.,, yarn about

Mrs. Florence Elizabeth Cory enabled
Syracuse to claim the first woman who
ever designed carpets. Fifteen years
ago apractical woman designer was un-
known, although few in the United
States and England assisted somewhat
in the work. About 1878 Mrs. Cory de-
cided that she wanted to be self-sup-
porting, and the sight of particularly
uglycarpet one day prompted her to en-
ter upon her new field. She sold her
first design, unsolicited, for SIS. She
then began visiting carpet stores, buy
ing samples and working out figures,
till her remarkable talent for that par
ticular style of work soon gave her u
profitable and recognized position. In
1881 Mrs. Cory founded a school of de-
sign for women in New York. Former
ly immense sums of money were paid
for foreign designs, but thanks to Mrs.
Cory's efforts, manufacturers are now
largely patronizing home products.

Quite a number of the best known
families in Boston take their descent
from those old Cape Cod sea captains
who, in their voyages to all parts of the
world, acquired that knowledge of men
and affairs which enabled them to be-
come in the latter days of their lives
what may be fairly described as mer-
chant princes. 1t is to be feared that
the task of meeting the needs of sum-
mer visitors is not one as well calcu-
Hated to stimulate personal ambition
and bring out the strong race and ma
tive qualities in the individual as the
service which Cape Codders were called
upon to perform two and three genera
tions ago. For this reason Cape Cod in
THE future is not likely to exercise so
strong an influence on the business life
of Boston as it did during the first half
hof the present century.
