Tho oueen OF spain.. Busy Life.


Spain is essentially a lazy country.
In all ranks the people rise late and
turn night into day; but the Queen Re
gent-a tall, graceful woman, looking
younger than her years-sets them an
excellent example. Up at 7. her first
care is given to her children, and by
o'clock she is already at work with
her secretary. 1t Is only after lunch,
toward 2 o'clock, that she allows her
self an hour Of well-earned rest. And
some idea Of Queen Christmas thor
oughness may be gained by the fact
that she no longer speaks German
her native tongue-save to those few
Teutons who find their way to Madrid.
When she first came a bride from
Vienna to Spain she had mastered but
imperfectly the language. Now she
talks Spanish correctly. and has, alone
and unaided. acquired real knowl-
edge Of the splendid literature of her
adopted country. When speaking of
her son she seldom refers to him as
his majesty" or ''the king" usually
it Is my boy" or "my little one" She
makes no outward difference between
the three children, but 1t Is easy to see
that her heart is specially bound up In

Hunting in By.Gone Days.

DAYS, CASTOR de Folk considered a be-
ginning should be made when the child
has reached the age Of seven, when 1t
should be placed In the kennels. King
Charles says that to become perfect
huntsman the young gentilhomme who
is intended for the post of veneur
should be taken at the age Of twelve;
he must be healthy and well built: he
must have good sense and especially
a quick and prompt judgment. One Of
the principal things required Is that he
should be painstaking. Alas! a hun
dred and fifty years later we have
D'Yauville telling us that man needs
two years tuition to qualify as n
huntsman! 1t was not only the paid
gentlemen Of the hunting establish
ments, however, who became real con-
noisseurs, for their royal masters took
such personal interest in everything
connected with the chase that most of
them knew all their hounds by name
and on the eve of a days hunting
would name each hound that was to be
taken out They also prided them

AFTER LONG MONTH";

After long months we meet again
Among the nodding daffodils,
The light lies low along the plain,
And over all the purple hills;
The merry thrush itngs out the day
With bursts Of May-time madrigall,
And from the freshly budding spray.
Through opening leaves, the ohif- chat
calls.
How different all when last we met
In dim fields dashed with autumn rain,
And watched the last late swallow set
His wings toward the South againl
Long time we strove, with voices low,
And alien lips, light words to speak;
And was it rain that trembled SO
From those long lsshes down your
cheek?
We parted, as the mists drew down,
The gray mists, gathering fold on fold,
And, through the dusk, the little town
Gllmmered far off, with sparks of gold
We watched the lamps wake, one by one
Gold stars beneath the starless sky,
And hand touched hand, and all was done
Iwlxt hearts too full to say geod-by.
And now Spring stands with sunny smile.
over the dead months cold and gray;
think we've dreamed weary while
And wakened to the perfect day.
With winters snow and autunn's rain
The days OF lonely life are Ger;
Forget the parting and the pain
Since our two hearts have mot once
more.

Literary Hacks.

A good word is spoken for the lit.
.rary hack by Andrew Lang. Man can
not live by literature alone, he says,
nor can the publishers. If he and his
publishers were to get together and
produce only works Of scholarship they
would both die in poverty. Mr.. Lang
prefers to live in comfort. He might
have added that there is justification
for this position of his which has moth
ing to do with the butchers bill, COM
ments the New York Tribune. We
refer to the value of good hack work to
the world. Such work Is Of course de-
spised by those who succumb to the
cant of letters. But has 1t never Oc-
Cured to those austere censors that
they are perpetually admiring the me-
diaeyal craftsman because he did just
what the modern hack tries to do. he

everyday occupation' Hack work 10
not necessarily bad. Ii can be magnin-
cent. De Quincy was a sublime hack.
Leslie Stephen is hack. 1t is no dis
honor to be q hack. The notion that
the only men who are producing lit
erature are secluded university dons
Is pure nonsense. Matthew Arnold
wrote for the magasines. Everybody
has written for the magazines since
they were invented. How short-sight-
ed it is to tell a writer that he is not a
man Of letters because he condenses an
essay into a thousand words! How fu-
tile 1t is to tell him that he ought to
retire to his study and write "a great
work!"

A Kite-FIyiuu Fe.tivsl.


Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett writes Of
The Little Japanese at Home" in the
st. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says:
Among the outdoor sports, one of the
most popular is kite-fying, varied in
many ways, and very fascinating to
all. When their new year comes,
then does the sport Of kite-fying give
great delight to the little boys. big
boys-yes, and to the grown-up boys
rs well. The kites are made of very
tough paper on a frame Of bamboo.
Various shapes are emadNround, oblong,
oval, but generally rectangular. Some
times fantastic shapes, representing
birds, beasts. men or children are
made. On the more ordinary shapes
are painted or sketched pictures Of
various kinds. Pictures Of beautiful
women, Of the heroes Of ancient Japan
csc history, Of the many species Of dra-
gon, the ideal monster, all serve to
make the kites attractive. The hum
ming kite is favorite one. and some
times the air is filled with the musical
sounds made by a swarm Of them.
These kites are made with a thin piece
Of bamboo or whalebone stretched
across, placed so as to vibrate in the
wind. The vibration makes a hum.
ming noise somewhat like the sound Of
N aeolian harp.
