WHEN VICTORIA WAS \ GIRL

There stands in one of the rooms OF Ken.
sintou Palace, London, an Old faded doll
house, headleSS horse and model OF a ship.
They are the toys with which queen Vic
toria used 20 play when she was girl, about
seventy-nve years ago In another room.
not FAR away, there Is u bronze plate, showing
where queen Victoria was born. Although
Victoria was 70 become one OF the greatest
monarchs OF her age and to reign longer than
any other English sovereign, she spent
rather duh time rs a little girl. There were
no companions with whom she could play,
so her mother bought her % srca, many dolls,
until she had family ot IL ot them. The
name Of each she entered Ia q book
and wrote out It's history, where DO came nom,
how Il lost its nose, how 10, dress was torn.
and. finally, how its sawdu,t blood nan out
and len 10 only "a bunch ot rtg,. With these
dolls the little princess performed many cer-
emonies OF state. Their Zee, were So fixed In
long board that they would stand straight
up, and she marched them around In many
wonderful ways.
One OF her other sports was riding out on
her white donkey. whose head was adorned
with blue ribbons. An Old soldier led it by
the bride. sometimes she to "a drive in
small pony chaise. led by "a page. Que day
dog ran between the pony's legs; 1t swerved
and upset the little carriage. The princess
would surely would surely have been injured
II a soldier who was passing had not caught
her in his arms. His name was Muloney,
and he was warmly thanked and generously
rewarded by the Duchess OF Kent, her
mother.
Victoria had TO study much harder than
many little girls, for she was 10 be fitted for a
most important work. She began 10 learn
from books when she was five years old.
Later she was trained to speak French and
German as well as English, aud by the time
she had reached her nth year, Italian. Latin,
Greek, mathematics, music and craving
were added to her studies. The princess was
very fond OF drawing, and early began To
sketch from nature. She wa, much inter.
ested In natural history and was delighted
with her first visit To the British Museum,
and asked that sine might often Dee taken
these She also took much pleasure In learn
ing simple botany, which she studied with
her uncle Leopold in the woods.
Another pastime she found In visiting her
Uncle George a. she called George ",
then king OF England.
At IS years Of age, before she was really
grown 10 womanhOod, she was crowned
queen Of England. When 10 was time FOR her
to marry she didn't have 10 walt until some
nice young man asked her. She had to do
the asking herself, because the queen OF
England is 50 great that no one that she
could marry could pre- sumo 10 ask her. She
confessed 10 her dearest friend that proposing
to Prince Albert was the"mOst trying ordeal
she had ever experienced
The queen is now ~ years old, and this
week all England j. going 10 rejoice Ia a
Jubilee that their sovereign has reigned so
many prosperous years.

IT CANNOT BE.

It cannot be said that He who made
This wondous world for our delight,
Designed that all its charms should fade
And pass forever from our sights
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no he but this,
With only one Unite survey
or all its beauty and is bliss.
II cannot be that all the years
or toll and care and grief We live,
shall md no recomponse hut tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads US 10 aspire
And struggle onward 10 achieve,
With every unaitained desire,
Was given only 20 deceive.
IL cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests OF The mind,
our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind:
That all our dreams Of love and fame.
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that enthralled this mortal frame.
Shall not return some other day.
II cannot be that all the ties
or kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs;
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide as our footsteps make
The pllgr image TO P-radise

SYMPATHY,

We are as harps that ylbrate TO touch
From stranger hands, unconscious Of the
strings,
While the souls slumberlng echoes wake to
life
And through It's halls responsive music rings.
Few are the Davids TO these harps Of ours!
Few learn the cunning Of the instrument;
And those To whom the gift has been denied
are oftenest those with whom our lives are
spent
But Gods large gifts OF Love are showered
around.
Let Us be thankful. Earth were too like
Heaven,
II. with the power Of loving deep and long,
That other gift Of sympathy were given.

A WORD ABOUT PERFUMES.

The Most Agreeable Are Not the Most Helpful
10 Nerves.
The perfumes which are most agreeable TO
the senses are not always the most helpful to
the nerves Ambergris, fol. instance, is posi-
lively offensive to many, yet 1t is said to pos
sess a wonderful power of clearing the brain
and driving away those evil spirits known as
the ''blues." On the other hand altar Of roses,
with the suggestion of glowing suns and gOr-
geous eastern colors, predisposes one 10 tears.
A faint Odor OF musk acts az atomic, while civ
ct brings drowsiness of soul. for which the best
antidote is the pungent odor of sandal wood.
The fragrance Of citron and aloe wood is as
soothing TO nervous people az far-of music.
Many perfumes delightful in the open air be
come particularly disegreeable in close room.
A whole evening can be spoiled Oy the pres
snee Of tuberoses or lilies tn a reception
room. Their strong fragrance has a very bad
effect. Magnolia blossoms, too have delight
iul perfume in their native grove, but woe 70

II your dentist is hOnest-and most Of them
