The queen, as is generally known, is
a most punctual woman even in her
routine or daily life Her duties are
so carefully planned out for the day
that not a single moment is lost. On
one occasion the queens drive was
abandoned. owing to the state OF the
weather, but on its clearing up half an
hour later a message was sent to Prin-
cess Beatrice, who was to accompany
her majesty" queen drives IN
ten minutes" The princess had just
changed her outdoor dress when the

simply and only a term descriptive and
as innocently inoffensive as parson or
actress. says Leslie's Weekly. Some
may suppose that this departure-by
the standard OF good American usage
Is due to the able editing OF Mr.. Che
Waller. who, we have been told, revised
"Thc Christians" slang. that no inac.
curate vulgarisms might mar its per-

charming little story of Jan OF the

frequently in the same matter-Of-

kindly propriety. This obtuse uncon-
seriousness that there are persons Of
color in the book reading world who
may vince at finding themselves thus
described as niggers, as If that were

case OF not knowing when one is Of

Two Chinese women have been APP
pointed by Ii Hung Chang TO be dele
gates to the international congress of
women next year in London. This
appointment will be sure to prove OF
Importance in the history of Chinese
thought. The inteliects as well as the
feet OF Chinese women are being freed
from bondage. Their first steps
towards individuality of existence are
profoundly interesting. IL is said that
the free foot society in China is rapid
~ extending it's influence. The fact
that the Empress Tuen came from the
people and therefore did not have her
feet bound i'm childhood is, of course,
q fact OF great help TO the movement.
But il is rot merely u fashionable, IL il
aIos q rational reform which is going
ON, and will do more To saw China
from her own ignorance than can yet
be guessed. When Chinese ladies learn
TO walk and read by millions there
will be n different state of things In
the Celestial empire. Ii Hung Chang
learned several things when he went
around the world, as a good traveller
should.

Thanksgiving day was clear and colder.
Mr.. Hill limited at the possibility of snow,
but then he had no new dress to wear to
church and could think calmly OF falling
weather.
Evidently Mrs. Hill had something on her
mind; all during breakfast she kept clear

they were washing the dishes she made es

more. As she hung the dishcloth on it's

dashing downstairs to find a black, sticky
mass in the bottom of the kettle. "Oh!

and there are no more in the house,"
The traces of her carelessness removed,
the turkey in the oven and the fire "roared

Two hours later, when Mr.. Hill drove
up, his daughter gave a wild cry: ''The

was full of the rich odor of incincrated
fowl.
That was the Thanksgiving day upon
which Mr.. and Mrs. Hill dined sadly on
canned corn, pickles and pumpkin pic. as
for Granville and Ellie, they sat with hands
cIaspcd under the tablecloth and ate the
food or the gods.

her dash to the cook stove and open the

She improved the opportunity to mufile

mother heard her sweeping the front stars
