A year OF two ago Wilhelmina and
her mother visited England, Queen
Emma being sister Of the widowed
Duchess of Albany. Their visit was Of
G private nature, and tho little queen
enjoyed going about as other persons do,
shopping to her hearts content with
out fear of recognition. The two queens
we're present on the opening day of tho
Royal academy, and upon leaving Bur-

queen regent stood aside for her daugh-
ter 20 enter the carriage first, but the
little queen smiled and sweetly said:
"After you, mamma.
OF course Wilhelmina was received

1t was in tho year lS4S when a boat
laden with passengers sailed into San

gers was little girl 70 years old. This
little girl came from Boston. Her name
was Muriel Halifax. So, to make tho
story short, Muriel Fletcher, as her
name was changed by marriage, became
my grandma. One day in her old age
she told us Of her childhood.
When grandma was little girl, she
never had any amusement to amount TO
anything Grandma was sitting oozily
ca a rustic seat in the garden when she
said, "I will be 62 years old two weeks
from this Friday coming. and l never

So May, Jessie and myself said that
on her birthday she should havo a par

should not know a thing about the

LONDON, oct. 27.-The Paris corre-
spondent of The Times says:
AT yesterdays sitting the Spanish
peace commissioners presented a new
counter memorandum, declaring their
readiness Professionally to accept an ar
ticle of a preliminary treaty stipulating
that Spain shall relinquish all rights
to sovereignty in Cuba without formu-
lating any other claim and to leave in
suspense all remaining questions, espe-
cially the Philippines.
THE Americans asked time until to-
day to reply to this new memorandum.
This is regarded as a favorable sign.
being a slight relaxation Of the rigidity
the Americans had hitherto shown.
They are perhaps aware that the Gu
ban and even the Spanish bondholders
are becoming alarmed at the strange
turn of the financial side of the dis
cussion, in which Spain, the United
States and Cuba, with extraordinary
unanimity and carelessness, all repudi-
ate the Cuban debt
Nobody will be able to force Spain
to accept the debt for, apart from
bankruptcy, she could only meet the
liability at the expense Of her foreign
bondholders, who, by a strange anoma
ly, would thus have to pay for the in.
dependence of Cuba. 1t is not liiSely
that either the United States or any
other power can or will force Spain L
ruin herself by meeting the CubaI
debt, and it will then either be tota
loss for Europe or be paid by the Span
ish bondholders.
IF, in these circumstances, an agree
ment cannot be effected America will
indeed be wise to refer the question
to the arbitration Of impartial men, en-
tirely disinterested in this delicate mat

To Clean Paint.

If the paint is not very dirty. it can
be cleaned with house flannel. warm
water and a little primrose soap. Other
wise, an excellent thing is sugar seap,
generally used by painters themselves.
About six ounces Of the soap, which is
in a powder, should be dissolved in a
buoketful of water and used in the or
binary manner. This soap is also very
good for scrubbing very dirty floors.
For unvarnished paint, apply whiting
with q flannel which has been dipped
in a pail of clean water and wrung
nearly dry A littlo rubbing will re-
move all dirt and grease The paint
must afterward be washed we'll with
clean water and rubbed dry with soft
cloth. The great thing in washing paint
is to dry as you go along, not letting
too much Of tho paint be wet at the
same time
