BUSY QUEEN VICTORIA.
Very Conscientious About Letter Writing
 How She Gets the Daily News.


 How She Gets the Daily News.
 Queen Victoria's private letters mum. ber many hundreds every year. She writes to her numerous relatives, forget ting no anniversary or occasion on which a letter might be welcome. The London Chronicle says that to the younger mem bers of the royal family she never fails to send birthday gifts, accompanied by a few loving words of greeting. Every day the birthday book is consulted-not that birthday book in which singers, actors and other personages are asked to write, but that smaller volume reserved for relatives and iutimates. Then there are numerous letters of a semiprivate nature which are written by the queen herself-letters of coincidence, letters of congratulation to brides who have been connected with the court, letters to for eign monarchs. Besides all these epis- ties, written in the blackest of ink on paper slightly edged with black, there are thousands which are penned by the private secretary and his assistants.
 The queen s day begins early and ends late. After breakfast-a meal which she still enjoys eating in the open air when possible-there are the newspapers and private correspondence claiming atten- tion. With regard to the former, por- tions of The Times and other journals are read aloud to the queen by a lady specially appointed for this purpose. Very rarely does the queen comment on the news, except in the case of a calam- ity, when her sympathy is quickly ex- pressed in 8 telegram. Inaccuracy in an important newspaper as to royal matters gives the queen grave annoyance, and The Chronicles writer has known an official to call and complain of the mis- statement and demand 8 rectification. Not long ago an illustrated London pa- per gave 8 picture in which her majesty was represented as holding the arm of her Indian attendant. Within 8 short space of time 8 member of the royal household called on the editor to state the absurdity of such an error. ''The queen is much annoyed at this mistake on the part of your artist, as it might give grievous offense to important per sons in India. She could never take the arm of a servant" This will show how closely she watches even the pictorial press. When 8 good illustration appears of any state function, it is 8 common incident for the artist to be requested to visit the queen, very likely to receive | a commission

The first meeting of the Audubon So ciety of the State of Connecticut, was held recently in Fairfield.
 The motive of the society is the pro- lection of wild birds ,discouraging the use for millinery purposes of all bird feath- CTS, other than ostrich plu mes, the feath- CTS of domestic fowl and game birds used for food, already protected by law
 The society also aims to have Bird Day celebrated in conjunction with Arbor Day in the public schools, aud to stimulate the general study of natural history as a means of preserving the beauties of the country.
 The cooperation of the various towns and villages in this state is asked.
 The society expects to have public talks upon birds during the coming season, to distribute leaflets and to furnish lists of books to others desiring to study native birds, animals or plants, as but little is at present understood about the value of birds in their relation to agriculture.

A SAVAGE CRITICISM.
The Teachers Artistic Cleverness R

The Teachers Artistic C1everness Re-
 ceived Q Hard and Cruel Blow.
 In one of the Cleveland public school rooms of the primary grade the teacher has been reading Longfellow's "Hia- watha" to her pupils. Of course this is a rather ambitious work for the little ones, says Tho Plain Dealer, but they enjoy it, and the rhythm seems partiou- larly pleasing to them. When they come to hard word, the teacher goes to the blackboard and draws a picture to illus trate its meaning. This the pupils find highly entertaining, and it helps in quite remarkable way to fix the text in their minds
 A few days ago they came to this line in the early part of the poem: At the door on summer evenings sat the little
 Hiawatha.
 "At-th' door on summer evenings sat tn lit-tle''-read the children.
 "Go on," said the teacher.
 But they couldn't go on. The name of Hiawatha was too much for them. They knew who Hiawatha was, but they didn t recognize his name. So the teacher went to the board and took con siderable pains in drawing:
 First.-A wigwam with poles stick ing up above it. and rude aboriginal drawing above it. and rude aboriginal painting on the side.
 Second.-Little Hiawatha, with feath- CTS in his hair, squatted at the wigwam door.
 Third.-A fine harvest moon.
 Then she pointed at Hiawatha and asked what it was
 There was general craning of necks and shaking of heads.
 "Come, oome," said the teacher, ''you know what that is.''
 Then one little girl spoke up:
 "I guess it's mud turtle.''
 And instantly. with one accord, the class glibly repeated:
 "At tn door on summer evenings sat tn little muddy tur tle''
 And tho teacher feels that her artistic cleverness received 8 hard and cruel blow.
