Scottish magistrate to pay q fine of

the latter he would be taken to the
Jail at Perth. "Then I'll go to PERTH"

there" An official conveyed him to
Perth, but when the cobbIer reached
the jail he said he would pay the fine.

VictOriana.

After the death Of Prince Albert the
Queen went to the Highlands, ando
Of her first visits was to a widowed
peasant woman. The two cried to-
gether, and when the old woman
begged. pardon for not controlling her
feelings, the Queen said she was
thankful to cry with somebody who
knew exactly how she felt.
The Queens coronation ring is never
out of her sight, and is worn by her
every evening. It is a band of gold
containing a cross in rubies, sur
mounted by white b%rilliants. A coro-
nation ring is supposed to symbolic
the wedding Of the sovereign with the
nation. /
1t is reported that at the time OF
Victoria's marriage it was suggested
the word "obey'' might be left out of
her response. The Queen instantly
checked this piece of snobbery, and
declared that she would be married
"like any other woman"
Her Majesty and Prince Albert were
on a tripinthe north of England and a
gentleman in hearty fashion expressed
the pleasure he felt at seeing the con.
sort and ''his wife" The Prince was
greatly delighted with the homely ref
erence and expressed pleasure that his
beloved partner should be spoken of
by IN appellation which was the high
est honor that could be bestowed upon
any woman
The Queen is to be put on canvas

of heirs to the throne that are now on
