italian Babies.

Babies. seem to be no trouble in
Italy, and one cannot but be struck by
the number of them. These bambinos
are often hung upon pegs in the front
of the house, where they look out of
their little black. beady eyes like pap
pooses. l unlocked one OF these
babies once, and held it awhile. Its
back and little feet were held tightly
against a strip of board SO that it was
quite stiff from its feet to its shoulders.
1t did noe seem to object or to be at
all uncomfortable, and as it only
howled while l was holding it, have
an idea that, except when invaded by
foreigners, the bambino's existence is
quite happy.-Lilian Bell in the No
yember Woman's Home Companion.

MEMORIES OF AFRICA.

Queen Victoria has bitter memories
connected with Africa. Not only has
she lost many gallant officers and men
OF her army and navy in the numerous
wars. little and big. which have been
waged during the present reign in vari-
Gus parts of the dark continent, but
she has also had to mourn the death
OF devoted son-in-law. in the person
of Prince Henry of Battenberg.
Almost as terrible TO the sovereign
was the death OF the young prince i'm
perial. In her published journal her
majesty has placed on record how in
credible the news seemed to her at
first The fact that Napoleon III. $ on
ly son died fighting for the British flag
naturally added a special poignancy to
the queens grief.
But there is hardly any considerable
portion of Africa, from the Mediter
ranean to the Cape of Good Hope,
which is not full of memories. both sad
and joyous, to Victoria. 1t was in
Egypt that the Duke of Connaught re-
ceived his baptism of fire. and it is well
known that the queen cherishes spe-
cial devotion to the memory OF Gen.
Gordon. whose Bible is among her
most precious possessions in the pri-
vate gallery at Windsor. This volume.
which is plain, leatherbound copy
of the holy scriptures, such as man
who had constantly to travel would
naturally possess. is placed in crys-
tai cabinet, the magnifcence of which
is in curious contrast with the sim
plicity of the relic.
