Queen. Expensive. Vacation.

Queen victoria's recent trip to the
Continent was beneficial TO her gen.
eral health and is said even to have
improved her eyesight, but these i'm
provements involved a cost Of S75, 900.
She paid something like Sl2, 900 o
month for her apartments" and al
though she was In Cimiez for less than
two months, she was charged for the
full time. There was also the cost Of
maintaining q suite Of some go to 10
persons. A heavy item was the charge
for her special trains between Nice
and Cherbourg, for which the French
companies charge exorbitantl5. Some
idea Of this amount may be gathered
from the fact that the lowest charge to
q private person for special train In
France is S5 o mile. The cost Of the
trip came entirely out Of the Queens
privy purse, which Is held by Sir
Fleetwood Edwards.

Little Dory.
Herbert d. Ward writes In the Cen
fury OF the Heroes Of the Deep"
one OF the series Of articles on Heroes
of Peace" Mr.. Ward says:
On April 20, 1895, fishing.vessel
came out from the harbor of Dyre
Flord, Iceland, to bait up and set his
travis. II became calm at night, but
in the morning, when che dories went
out to haul, IL began to breeze up.
The gale came up so rapidly that the
head dories, in order TO save them
selves at oil, cut their gear and made
for the vessel, which was drifting
astern, so that the men could get
aboard. Soon all the dories were in
but one, and the skipper was in the
rigging, looking for it anxiously. II
was not long before he discovered 1t
to windward, bottom up, with the two
men on top.
Volunteers offered instantly. by
this time the gale was q hurricane, and
the seq had made rapidly. The great
danger was apparent. One OF the
men who went to the rescue as mat.
ter of course, at the peril Of his life,
was Carl Eckhoff, an indomitabls
Swede. I have been unable to dis
cover the names of the other two.
The wind as we'll as the tide was
against the rescuers. Again and again
they were almost swamped; but rapid
bailing and skilful handling carried
them on in the white hell. At last,
well.nigh spent, they reached the
dory just In time to save one man
alive. But the other was dead. His
head was fouled In the gear where he
had fallen over, benumbed by the icy
water. They carried him back to the
vessel, and worked three hours In vain
trying to resuscitate him. Then they
made for the harbor.
On the following day q procession

its way 10 the churchyard. Uplifted
upon the stalwart arms OF mourning
mates, the dory led the way. II was
the assassin dory, and in il, in simple
state, lay the man il had killed.
Up through the churchyard, into
the plain church, the man was carried
in this strange bier. There he was
laid before the pulpit while the minis
ter said over him the prayer for the
dead. The freezing grave was ready.
In it John Jacobsen was buried. No
longer will he risk the gale or the ice.
The dory that had slain him was his
coffin; and the cold earth Of warm
hearted Iceland has covered both man
and boat in an eternal peace.

schlsy.. Fan win. tn. signals.

When the big battleship Iowa
joined Schley's feet off Cienfuegos,
the commodore showed he could make
some fun with the signal fags, limited
as they are in expression. He ran up
on the Massachusetts, the question:
Have you any news?"
The Iowa answered "No, "and then

groaned or hurried away disaproint-
ed. But the flagship was spelling
out another question, aud the feet
watched il:
Are you ready for"
This looked like news Everybody
was very serious. Then IL ended:
"a fightf"
The crew Of the Iowa yelled, the
other ships answered, and then the
whole fest laughed. Commodore
Schley was on his way below before
the Iowa got up its forward signal

answer was in before it.--New York

The correct name for Hamamelis
virginica Is not witch hazel, but wych
hazel. Our plant has no connection
with the magic OF the water hunter.
The blackthorn Of England, Prunus
Spinosa, was the wood used In these
divinations, or whatever these SUPER
stitious practices may be termed.
Hazel had very wide meaning in the
olden times, and the elm, as we'll as
the nut now known as such, was hazel.
One Of these elms, now known as
Ulmus Montana, was the favorite wood
for making wyches, or provision chests,
and was therefore known as the wych
hazel. In the present day II Is the
wych elm. Our hamamelis received
from the early settlers the name Of
wych hazel from the resemblance Of
the leaves to those Of the wych hazel
or elm of the Old World. Language
reformers imagining that wych should
be spelled witch are responsible for
the confusion. Wych hazel 10 the cor.
rect term for our plant. -Meehan's

THE RED CROSS.

They too have heard the drrm-beat,
They follow the bugie's call.
These who are swift with pity
On the field where brave men fall.
When the BATTLEFRONT Is silent,
And the echoing thunder dies.
They haste 10 the plain red sodden
With the blood OF sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with q crimson sign,
Pledge Of O great compassion
And the rifted heart Divine.
That onco for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss.
These 10 the field OF valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the buele,
And heed the drum-beat's call,
But their erraud Is ons OF pity
They succor the men who fall.

THE MARCH Of THE DEAD BRIGADE.

No sound disturbs the drowsy dawn,
"A forms the dead brigadei
Its silent ranks, In serried lines,
Glide onward toward the springing pines,
All phantoms In parade.
Their steps bend not the dropping corn,
These warriors all are ghosts.
In rank aud file, with solemn tread.
Their captains marching at the head,
Move on those silent hosts.
From out the tented camp Of death,
Their Nag OF peace displayed,
With football soft rs dew ut morn,
These cohorts sweep the bending corn,
Where battle once was laid.
The mark OF Gods eternal peace
Their countenances bears
And freed from all unholy hate,
They shine with that exalted state
Which heavens angels share.
