THE QUEEN AT CIMIEz.
Large Wing of Hotel Set Apart
for Victoria's Exclusive Use.
How Her Majcsty's Rooms Are Fur
nished-YounEest of the Ladies'
of the Bed Chamber Her
Attendant.

Queen Victoria, who has arrived at
Nice, will reside during her sojourn at
Cimiez at the Excelsior hotel, Regina.
An entire wing of the building has been
set apart for the use of herself and
her attendants. There are about 60
rooms in this wing, which has been COM
pletely isolated from the rest of the
hotel by a wall RAINING from top to
bottom. A special elevator leads to
the queens apartments, which are on
the first floor. Her majesty's bedroom
is furnished in the style of Louis XVI.
The draperies and curtains are of pink
silk and the furniture is of mahogany,
upholstered with silk to match the
hangings. The sitting-room of her
majesty is furnished with yellow bour-
bon paper, light blue silk curtains and
draperies and furniture of rich ma
hogany, inlaid, this chairs and settees
being covered in light blue silk.
The reception room is furnished with
yellow empire silk and draperies, the
mahogany furniture being mounted
with brass and the chairs covered with
yellow empire silk. The private dining
room is furnished with red velvet cur
tains and walnut furniture. A con-
tinuous balcony runs from the sitting
room and leads to glass-covered gal
lery, where her majesty will sometimes
have her breakfast served and pass q
portion of the morning. Lady Antrim,
the youngest of the ladies of the bed
chamber, accompanies the queen. This
is an innovation, az heretofore she has
always been accompanied OH her con-
tinental trips by an elderly lady of the
bedchamber. This year, however, it
was decided that as there would be
daily receptions and other social func-
tons it would be necessary to have a
younger woman, who would be better
able to stand the fatigne involved by the
position.

Which Is Patriotic?

The new tariff says that I shall pay

l will become prosperous by paying
$3.50 for a 81 knife. If Il buy knife
like it, made in this country, do not

can charge the same sum if he pleas

the government starve or support the

THE GOOD OLD INN.
Passing of n Word Tint Has Played
Its Part i'm History.

RAISING OF u WOru Ihnt Has PlQyCU
Its Part I'm History.
1t might be interesting to know who
was the first person to keep an inn.
The word is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and
signifies a lodging house; another an
other term was gest hus, a house for
guests; or cumena hus, house fo-
corners. Near the highroads a few
scattered inns were established for the
convenience of travellers over night.
Edward the Confessor ordained that
if traveller remained over three nights
in an inn he was to be styled third
night-awn-hinde, and the landlord was
answerable for him exactly as though
he was one of the servants. A good
many alehouses were dotted around
Saxon England, and the sturdy early
Englishmen spent a great deal of time
in them. Chaucer's friar, "llnew we'll
the tavern in every town." and Dun
stan found it necessary to ordain that
a priest SHOULD in nowise be alesop"-
that is, a story teller or reciter at an
alehouse. Efforts were continually
made to keep down the number of inns.
In the reign of Edward 1. there were
but three in the whole of London.
The inns of the middle ages were fur
nished in very homely manner. In
the fifteenth century the famous St.
George inn at Salisbury possessed IS
guest rooms, each with three beds in it,
table on trestles and oalsen benches.
People ate and slept in the same apart
ment unfortunately. At this time
titled persons slept on bed, while
commoners had to put up with mat
tresses-a curious distinction.
In French and German medieval
inns humorous custom prevailed for
the punishment of those convicted of
talking aud Boosting too much. A
wooden knife was always placed by the
side of the president of the table,
whose duty and privilege it was to put
the Boosters to silence by ringing the
bell in the blade or blowing the whistle
concealed in the handle. He then
handed the knife to the man who had
been "called down." who kept it until
he in turn had chance of presenting
it to some one who proved a greater
boaster than himself.
During the seventeenth and elgh-
teenth centuries the inns of Paris and
London were the gathering places of
the wits and literary men of the day;
even the noblemen used the inns as n
sort of club. The duke of Montague
gave dinner at the Devil, and tradi-
ton says the great Elizabeth herself
did not disdain TO eat pork and peas
at the Kings Heat, in Fenchurch
street. An ancient covered metal dish
is still exhibited there as the one she
used. Most of the famous old literary
tavcrns are now merely matter of his
tory. The rooms were small and low,
with only wooden benches, but the
giants of the time used to gather there
for the social intercourse they craved.
Mine Host was personal friend of his
customers, and the same customers fire.

What use is there in eating when
food does you no good-in fact, when
it does you more harm than good, for
such is the case if it is not digested?
If you have q loathing for food
there is no use of forcing it down, for
it will not be digested. You must re-
store the digestive organs to their
natural strength and cause the food
to be digested, when an appetite will
come, and with it relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you
will put flesh on yonr bones and be-
come strong. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Leban-
on Shakers contains food already di-
gested and is digester of foods as
well. Its action is prompt and it's
effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
it has all the virtues of Castor Oil and
is palatable.

Legislation Creates Value of Precious
Metals.

In these days when a hireling press
is trying to confuse the public mind
on the money.question, it is well to ex-
anime what our statesmen have said
before the money power became
dominant in republican politics.
Senator Allison, is his speech in the
United States senate in 1878, in sup
port of the Bland Allison act said:
"What is it creates the commercial
valueyof the precious metals? 1t is
legislation. Legislation gives value
to the precious metals and the COM
mercial value simply records the con-
dition of legislation with reference to
the precious metals. 1t is legislation
that has destroyed silver and legisla-
ton can restore it again."
After using the above expressions
Senator Allison quotes from several
eminent authorities in support of HE
position, and among others from En-
est Seyd, as follows: 1.-THE true cause
Of the depreciation of silver is it's de-
3monetization by law and that only. F"

by one person is admirably Illustrated
in the case of a young Indian who re-
turned to North Dakota after gradua-
ton at Hampton. He had learned there
to wash and iron and bake bread, all Of
which he was teaching to his relatives
and friends; and after buying dress
for his mother he carried it to mission
airy and begged her to cut it out. He
explained that he had never been taught
TO make dresses, but that with sample
he felt sure he could teach even that art
to the Indian women.

SPOT WHERE GARFIELD FELL.

Tablet and Star Marking Place he.
moved from Depot.
The marble tablet that rested in the
south wall of the ladies' waiting-room
of the Baltimore & Potomac Railway
company's depot and the brass star
placed in the tiled flooring of the apart
which President Garfield fell when as
sassinated have been removed. A SUI
perstitious dread on the part of the
travelling public of a constant reminder
of tragedy seems to have led to the re-
moval of these monuments. The inn
mediate cause of the removal of the
tablet and star was the fire which oc-
Cured in the depot on the night of
March 4, which damaged the tablet to
such an extent that the officials of the
company declared it was not in condi-
ton to be replaced. A portion of the
marble thing also had to be removed,
and although the metal star placed
where the president fell might have
been put back in its old place it was
permanently removed, and the spot is
now marked only by piece of red til
ing, which would pass unnoticed ex-
cept to those familiar with the place
and the tragedy that was enacted
there.
Officials of the company stated that
there was no purpose in removing the
monuments except that they had been
damaged by fire. From other sources
it was learned that there had been
much complaint on the part Of the
travelling public to have the horrors
of the assassination constantly recalled
to their mind when going through the
depot or waiting for trains. To such
an extent has this feeling prevailed that
the company has long regarded the re-
minder of the tragedy as disadvan-
tage, and it is believed by many that the
officials were only too glad TO have an
excuse to obliterate the monuments.

Despite the efforts of many women,

ward to arrive at desirable goal, for
after all is said and done matrimony APP
pears to be still the only comfortable
solution for the unprovided girls of an
average family. One of the greatest
hindrances to woman's independent
position, says the New York Tribune,
seems to be that there are not enough
places even for the men, and, although
it seems to be conceded nowadays that
woman may do all she wants to-if she
can-the outlook is far from encourag-
ing, and when, as it sometimes happens,
one of these plucky breadwinners is re-
lieved of her wearisome struggle and
given the haven and shelter of a good
mans love and protection, her friends
are unfeignedly pleased. They never
say, as they might of young man SINH
larly placed: What pity to spoil her
career!" One must look at things as
they are, and not as what we should
like them to be. It Is undeniably true
that even the women who succeed do
not succeed by mans standard-they
may manage to exc out subsistence,
but they seldom, if ever, secure COM
petence. There is something quite sad
in seeing the brave girl workers grow
older and faded-looking, with their
beauty and youth on the wane, and
realize there is nothing before them but
the long, monotoLous, dreary road OF
daily toll, and we fain would go back to
the old idea that woman should be
taken care of and cherished.
