many dolls, until she had a family of
1872 of them. The name of each she en-
tered in a book and wrote out its entire
history, where it came from, how it
lost it's nose, how it's dress was torn,
and finally, how it's sawdust blood ran
out and left it only a bunch of rags.
With these dolls the little princess
performed many ceremonies of state.
Their feet were so fixed in the long
board that they could stand upstraight
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. Some
times she took drive in small pony
chaise, led by a page. One day a dog
ran between the pony's legs; itswerved
and upset the little carriage. The
princess would surely have been in
jured or killed, if a soldier who was
passing had not caught her in his arms.
His name was Maloney, and he was
warmly thanked and generously re-
warded by the duchess of Kent, her
mother.
Victoria had to study much harder
than many little girls, for she was to
be fitted for a most important work.
She began to learn from books when
she was five years old. Later she was
trained to speak French and German,
as we'll as English, and, by the time she
had reached her eleventh year, 1tal-
ian, Latin, Greek, mathematics, music
and drawing were added to her studies.
The princess was very fond of draw
ings, and early began to sketch from
nature. She was much interested in
natural history, and was delighted with
her first visit to the British museum,
and asked that she might often be-
taken there. She also took much
pleasure in learning simple botany,
which she studied with her uncle Leo
pold in the woods.
Another pastime she found in visit
ing her "Uncle King" as she called
George ", then king of Englnd.
At 10 years of age, before she was
really grown to womanhood, she was
crowned queen of England. When it
was time for her to marry she didn't
have to wait until some nice young
man asked her. She had to do the asking
herself, because the queen of England.
is so great that no one she could marry
could presume to ask her. She con-
fessed to her dearest friend that pro-
posing to Prince Albert was the most
trying ordeal she had ever expert
enced.-Chicago Record.

measure If a small jardiniere or vase of
flowers stands upon it,
The inclination of the moment in en-
broiaeries is toward conventional de-
signs rather than floral, and in accord
ance with this we give sketch which
suggests the use of figures of Delftware
and which must be executed entirely
in shades of blue and white. 1t is to be
deplored that those who order such
matters should have decreed the with
drawal of floral designs, for they have
just reached a state of such exquisite
perfection as to rival painted flowers In

CARE OF THE PIANO.
Il Should Not he Left Open OF an q
Damp Room.

It Should Not he Left Open OF fR u
Damp Room.
Try, for the sake of the pianoforte as
IS well as for any musician who may
be used to play upon it, to have it tuned
at least once in two months. The
strings must be kept at their proper
tension, and If they are allowed to drop,
as it is called, from the proper pitch it is
difficult to screw them back and make
them stay.
Pianofortes should not be kept open
either, for dust is just as injurious as
dampness, and, in fact, the air is al
ways an enemy to the great mass Of
sensitive eprings-the nerves of the in
strument. It should be placed IN dry
room, quite away from possible drafts
and not too near FIRE. Heat not only
tends to warp and crack the case, which,
being highly inffammable, is apt to ig-
mite, but any increase or decrease of
temperature affects the strings and
brings them out of tune, exactly as does
excessive dryness or excessive mois-
ture.
An upright pianoforte sounds better
Il placed about two inches from the
wall, and sometimes it is an improve
ment If it ID allowed to rest upon glass
blocks. A grand pianoforte should
stand with its curved side to the room,
and it's plain side next to the wall.
Nothing should be placed on the piano
forte. No musical people ever put
vases or ornaments and books upon
this shrine of music, for they rattle,
absorb the sound, deaden the tone, and
worry the performer. The case and
keyboard should be kept free from
dust. To make the polish shine rub
the wood with soft and old silk hand
kerchief, and to clean a pianoforte use
warm water, soap and a flannel rag.
Wet the latter, rub it on the soap, and
apply to the pianoforte, small portion
of the surface at time. Wet second
piece of flannel and wipe off the soap
thoroughly, and with piece of channels
skin rub the place perfectly dry. Wipe
the keys off with a damp cloth, fol-
lowed quickly with dry one, and, if
the ivory has become yellowed from age
or usage this may be whitened by a
good rubbing with fine sandpaper or

Hints for Necktie Wearers.

The people who wear neckties-and
who does not?-win be pleased with a
little arrangement to keep them from
riding up to the top Of their collars.
This consists of tiny wire hook,
much Like dress hook, with the adj
dition of several little teeth projecting
outwardly in the opposite direction
from the hook side at the other ends
and bending backward a little. This
little article is put on with the hook
hooking under the linen collar, 1eav-
ing the little teeth to fasten them
selves down outwardly into the neck
tie. This keeps the necktie and lower
edge of the collar on line.

Few Seasons Ago.
There is a slight reactionary effect
against overlooking the dinner and
luncheon tables with decorations. On
grand occasions it is more usual to see
the table dressed with a white cloth of
finest damask on which the floral dec
orations rest. This gives opportunity
for individuality in the arrangement of
the flowers about the table, and the
prettiest effects ever made in table dec
orations are done by the means of a
tasteful arrangement of ferns and
flowers on the cloth.
Embroidered center-pieces are by no
means discarded and form just as neces-
sary part of a housekeeper's outfit
as they have ever done, but the inclina-
ton is to limit them to everyday use.

Most Costly Drugs.
After all that is said of disinfectants
In the drug line, the best is pure air
and in large volume. At least all other
disinfectants are very inefficient, I'M
less plenty of pure air accompanies
them.
All rooms that are to be disinfected
should have plenty of air admitted to
them as the first requisite of beginning
operations. Often it will be found
quite sufficient in itself to disarm mild
contagion.
The majority of people are too sensi-
tive on the subject of letting pure air
into sick-rooms, where an abundance
of it will prove not only of immense
benefit to the sick one, but be the safe
guard of the whole household Direct
drafts of air upon the patient are al
ways to be avoided, unless, perchance,
1t is a case of suffocation, when air in
quite vigorous motion about the pa
tent is what he most needs. But there
are ways to keep the best of air in a
sick-room without putting the patient
in any peril, and ways that will prove
the means of getting him out of peril
from confined, unaerated contagion.
