the Queens accession he received a COM

Of eight shillings would be paid him weekly
in the future, and this he continued TO en-

An aged man named Hillman, formerly
a porter to the duke. and afterwards a pen
sioner Of the Duchess of Kent, was always
recognized by the Queen when she saw nm
on her drives. he had bid-ridden daugh-
ter, and TO her, on the evening of the fu-
neral of William ~, the Queen sent pres
ent of the Psalms of David, and within the
volume a marker. with a doVe--the emblem
of peace---in the center. 1t pointed TO the
forty-first psalm, which the queen hoped
the invalid would read, as it would brlng
increase of peace of mind.
Pray, may lord, asked the queen OF the
Duke of Norfolk, earl marshal, where am
l to wear the garter? The duke sa1d ne
fancied he had seen print of queen Anne
wearing the garter on the left arm. inns
and other authorities We're duly consulted
and accordingly, her Majesty mas ever ever
worn the garter on the left arm upon all
occasions of state.
Her Majesty, soon after her accession
paid visit to the Royal ACADEMY, ana
commanded her ladies to attend her at
Buckingham Palace at a certain houf. ne
Queen was ready at the appointed TIME oGt
one lady of the suite did not put IN an APP
pearance until ten minutes later. Taking
out her watch the Queen said: i nave

Soon after the queen 5 succession Dig
review was contemplated in Hyde Park
Her Majesty intended appearing on morse

ister took exception to the arrangement
and urged that it would not be proper Tor
her Majesty to appear except in one of the
royal carriages. Very WELL" said the
Queen, no horse, no review" And there
was none that summer.
So scrupulous was the Queen in taking
care to fully understand every document
placed in her hand that Lord Melbourne
was reported to have occasionally declared
that he would rather have to deal with ten
kings than one queen. Having submitted
some act of government for the royal APP
prevail he was proceeding to urge the eX-
pediency of the measure when the queen
stopped him, observing, Il have been
taught to judge between what is right ana
neither wish to hear nor understand"
Having ridden out from Windsor Her
Majesty was one day caught in the ram,
and a gentleman of the suite offered her
Majesty his macintosh. The Queen graz
ciously accepted it, and, having put it on,

The Queen instantly checked this piece of
snobbery, and declared that she, would be
married like any other woman.
During her residence in the Highlands the
Queen was frequently annoyed by the inn
pertinent attentions of strangers, who used
to bring opera glasses along with them and
stare at her, even in church. The Queen,
observing one woman performing this I'M
pudent trick, expressed wonder at the
amusement she could derive from such
proceeding.
The Queens homely visits to her humble
neighbors in the Highlands have often been
ways full of sympathy and kindness. One
of the cOttagers daughter had girl child
born to her, and next morning the
Queen drove over with her attendants and
kept them outside while she saw the inVa-
lid and cautioned her mother and gave
advice as to how daughter and baby We're
to be looked after. A motherly SOUL is
the proudest and most touching compliment
paid to the Queen by her Highland subjects.
After another great af1iction the Queen
went to the Highlands, and one of her first
visits was to a widowed peasant woman.
The two cried together, and when the old
woman begged pardon for not controlling
her feelings the Queen said she was thank
full to cry with somebody who knew exact

Mortified Enden was so overcome that he
missed his footing and inconsistency sat
down on the top step in the presence of
the Queen covered with confusion and
candle grease. Her Majesty followed the
reproachful eye of Emden, saw the three
girls peeping over the fanlight, and, point
