Victoria and jenny Lind.

That Queen Victoria is not blind TO
the hold that other celebrities may
have upon the feelings of her people
was prominently illustrated in 1913,
when Jenny Lind was to sing at her
majesty's theater. The Queen made
her first public appearance after the
memorable Christmas Day. For the
great artistic, too, this was n first ap-
pearance, for it was the beginning of a
season at place where the year be-
fore she had won unparalleled fame.
1t happened that the Queen entered
tn royal box at the same moment that
the prima donna stepped upon the
stage. Instantly tumult of acclama-
ton burst from every corner of the the
ater. Jenny Lind modestly retired to
the back Of the stage, waiting till the
demonstration of loyalty to the sover-
eign should subside.
The Queen, refusing to appropriate
to herself that which she imagined to
be intended for the artistic, made no
acknowledgement. The cheering con-
tinued, increased, grew overwhelming.
and still there was no acknowledgment
from either the stage or the royal box.
At length, when the situation be-
came embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with
ready tact, ran forward to the foot
lights and sang God Save the Queen"
which was caught up at the end of the
solo by the orchestra, chorus and audi
ence. The Queen then came to the front
Of her box and bowed, and the opera
began.

Lookout Mountain Park.

Plans are on foot to purchase for the
Government sixteen acres of land on
top of Lookout Mountain, in Tennes-
see, to be used for park purposes. The
property. in connection with that about
Craven's house. recently acquired by
the Government, will be converted into
a national park. Tablets will be placed
to mark the position of the troops on
either side during the famous battle
above the Clouds" The old Confeder-
ate batteries that stood on the summit
will be restored and several Confeder-
ate monuments will be stationed in the
park.
The battle of Lookout Mountain was
one of the severest of the rebellion. 1t
opened at daylight, Oct. %. 1868, by
Sherman's attack on the left. Hooker,
coming over Lookout Mountain on the
right, was delayed in crossing Chatta-
noOga Creek and did not strike the enc
my until about 8 o'clock. To relieve
Sherman from the forces concentrating
upon him, Thomas, in the center,
charged up Missionary Ridge before
Hooker attacked the Confederate left.
His troops under Wood and Sheri-
dan, once started, not only drove the
enemy from the rifle trenches, but fol
lowed them up the hill, carried the
works on the crest of the ridge and
routed the defenders, pursuing them
until dark and capturing many prison
ers. The troops in front of Sherman,
unsupported on their left, also retreat

Writing Poetry on an Omnibus.

Joaquin Miller, in one of the foot

two cigars. l reckon Walt Whitman

MANY of my best and most valuable

n man who writes things for living,
come to me after have gone to bed at
night. 1t is true that cares oppress me
sometimes then and keep me awake,
but not often; that is usually my time
for building castles in the air, and for
having people leave me fortunes, and
for cOnjuring up all manner of good
luck; and in this joyous mental atmOs-
phere | often have happy ideas that can
be worked up and turned to account.
Formerly, before | went to bed, /
used 10 put my idea pad, with a pencil
by 1t, on a shelf in the adjoining room
near a gas jet, left burning low, as /
didn't want light in my sleeping room.
When an idea struck me | would get
out Of bed. go into the next room, turn
up the light make note of it, and go
back to bed But | didn't always do
this. 1 wasn't what you would call
lazy, but if it was a very cold night
or L was very tired would say 10 my
self that l thought 1 could remember
that, and so l would take the chances,
and then every time l would forget it.
I don't know how much money l lost in
this way. but a good deal.
But now. l have little table at the
head of the bed with the pad and pencil
on that, and hanging down over it an
incandescent electric light. l don't have
to get out of bed at all. I have only to
turn the key of the shaded light, pick
up the pad and jot down the idea. Then
put the pad down on the table again
and turn off the light.
Now l lose nothing. 1 suppose I
must have saved enough the first week

Pug Envious Of the Swimming Cat.

There is certain cat of clerical
associations and impeccable social
standing who swims like a fish. and
what is more, appears to enjoy it like
any duckling. A pug dog in the fam
lily seems 10 think the performance I'M
natural, and whenever the cat goes
down to take his bath the pug follows,
showing every sign of jealousy when
visitors applaud and express surprise.
The other day Master Pug could stand
it no longer; he, too, took a plunge,
and In . few moments, having reached
puss, seized the creature by the throat
and held her head under water until
life was nearly extinct. Fortunately,
some one saw the deed and rushed to
the rescue, but even this painful eX-
perience has failed to deter the cat
from taking her favorite amusement.-

A Letter Written Amid Flying Shells

A Letter Written Amid Flying Shells.
In the Century is an article on "Nel-
son in the Battle of Copenhagen" by
Captain Alfred T. Mahan, who has
Just resigned from the United States
navy in order to devote himself to lit
erary pursuits. Captain Mahan relates
the following anecdote concerning
Lord Nelson's letter proposing truce
to the Crown Prince of Denmark, dis
patched in the midst of hostilities: The
decks being cleared of all partitions fore
and aft, and all ordinary conveniences
removed, Nelson wrote in full view Of
all ON the deck where he was, at the
casing of the rudder-head, standing;
and as he wrote an officer standing by
took copy. The original, in his own
hand, was put into an envelOp and
sealed, with his arms. The officer was
about to use wafer, but Nelson said,
mo; send for sealingwax and candle"
Some delay followed, owing to the man
sent having had his head taken off by
a ball. ''Send another messenger for
the wax" said the admiral, when in
formed of this; and when the waters
We're again suggested he simply reiter
ated the order. A large amount of wax
was used, and extreme care taken that
the impression of the seal should be
perfect. Colonel Stewart asked, why,
under so hot fire and after so lament
able an accident, have you attached
so much Importance to a circumstance
apparently trifiing?" Had l made
use of a wafer" replied Nelson, 1.-The
wafer would have been still wet when
the letter was presented to the crown
prince; he would have inferred that the
letter was sent off in hurry, and that
we had some very pressing reasons for
being in a hurry. The wax told no
tales" 1t was the same sagacious re-
gard to effect which possibly dictated
the byplay of refusing to see Parkers
signal of recall.
