An Old Dog.

1t is interesting to study the eccen-
tricities Of animals. Their freaks and
fancies seem to make them almost hu-
man. A dear old collie who has been
INDUCED in all sorts of ridiculous whims
has recently taken upon himself to re-
sent the habit of his master and mis-
tress in sitting up late. When the dog
considers that it is bedtime, he becomes
restless and wanders about the room,
looking ruefully at the offenders as much
as to say, ''Aren't you ever going to
take your departure up stairs:" When
he becomes convinced that his mute ap-
peals are unheeded, he walks slowly to
his accustomed corner and with deep
grunt of dissatisfaction settles himself
ostensibly for the night. The funniest
part Of this performance is that he never
spends the night in that corner, but the
moment the lights are out and he feels
sure of not being driven down stairs
where he belongs he takes up his quar-
tiers at the top of the stairs leading to
his masters bedroom. This same dog
has as keen an appreciation Of good cake
as any human epicure. The wag Of his
tail when pound cake is given to him
and the refusal of that tail to wag when
sponge cage is offered tell the story as
plainly as words Brooklyn Eagle.

Salute Your Wife.

Men do not take off their hats to each
other. They nod. Many married women
complain of their husbands incivility
in neglecting to treat them with the
same politeness they show TO their
friends. Let all married men remember
that marriage does not exempt them
from raising their hats both at meeting
and saying goodby 10 their wives. This
oversight has often been the cause of a
spirit of rebellion in the young wife,
who sees III it a reason for fancying that
her husband has ceased to care for her
or only regards her as belonging to
whom any of the civilities of life are
unnecessary because she is his. In the
same way wife should foster all those
pretty little ways of making him feel
that he is still her Prince Charming.
Love is so often kept alive by these out
ward observances that are the harbin-
gers Of refinement that it behOoves all to
practice them. Ledger.

BUSY QUEEN VICTORIA.

Gerry conscientious About Letter Writing.
How She Gets the Daily News.
Queen Victoria's private letters mum.
Der many hundreds every year. She
writes to her numerous relatives, forget
ting no anniversary or occasion on which
letter might be welcome. The London
Chronicle says that to the younger MEM
hers of the royal family she never fails
TO send birthday gifts, accompanied by
few loving words of greeting. Every
day the birthday book is consulted-not
that birthday book in which singers,
actors and other persOnages are asked to
write, but that smaller volume reserved
for relatives and intimates. Then there
are numerous letters Of semiprivate
nature which are written by the queen
herself-letters of coincidence, letters Of
congratulation to brides who have been
connected with the court, letters to for
eign monarchs. Besides all these epis-
ties, written in the blacklist of ink on
paper slightly edged with black, there
are thousands which are penned by the
private secretary and his assistants.
The queen day begins early and ends
late. After breakfast-a meal which she
still enjoys eating in the open air when
possible-there are the newspapers and
private correspondence claiming atten-
ton. With regard to the former, por-
tions of The Times and other journals
are read aloud to the queen by lady
specially appointed for this purpose.
Very rarely does the queen comment on
the news, except in the case Of calam-
ity, when her sympathy is quickly ex-
pressed in telegram. Inaccuracy IN an
| important newspaper as to royal matters
gives the queen grave annoyance, and
The Chronicles writer has known an
official to call and complain Of the mis-
statement and demand a rectification.

1t was just before the battle Of the
Wilderness. The members of the head
quarters mess assembled TO partake of a
hasty breakfast. The general made rath-
err singular meal preparatory to SC ex-
hausting a day as that which was to
follow. He took a cucumber, sliced it,
poured some vinegar over it and partook
of nothing else except cup of strong
coffee. The first thing he did after ris-
ing from the table was to call for Il fresh
supply of cigars. His colored servant
Bill brought him two dozen. After
lighting one of them he filled his peck
