A Kindly Queen.

The queen of Belgium is'knowu to be
devoted to animals. One burning hot
day a dog was drawing a milk cart CON
tanning stout peasant woman along
the highroad bordering the Royal park
of Laeken. The dog, utterly exhausted,
was straining and painting under the
heavy load, but the woman was cal
lous, and began to beat the poor beast
mercilessly to make him so faster. At
that moment the queen in her pony
chaise drove out of the park. Seeing
what was going on, her majesty got out
and severely admonished the woman,
She then sent her servant to the castle
to fetch water for the dog, and insisted
on the peasant getting out and walk
ing, remaining herself standing in the
middle of the road in the sunshine until
the milk cart was out of sight.-Golden

THEY KISSED VICTORIA.
eiety of the Royal kiss
in Paris,

Mrs. Eleanor Jetlreys, English, from
Raleigh, Essex, died in this city, aged
96, says a Paris correspondent. With
her disappeared the Society of the Kiss
Royal, of which she was the only sur
viving member.
The society was composed originally
of 45 young women who had kissed
Queen Victoria at the cost of shilling
each. That happened when her gra-
cious majesty was an infant in the
cradle.
One day her nurse had taken her out
in a pony cart for an airing in Rich
mond park. The tiny princess was
recognized by the students of one of the
most aristocratic girls schools i'm Lon
don. They surrounded the little car
riage and one of the girls offered to
give the nurse a shilling if She would
let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse
accepted.
Then all the other students, amid
great laughter aud ondearments to the
child, in turn paid the toll and kissed
the princess, and the servant made
quite a little sum.
When Victoria had succeeded TO the
throne of England the girls who hat
kissed the queen formed friendly as
sociation, the Society of the Kiss Royal
which Victoria honored shortly after
ward with very gracious, good
humored autograph letter, that finally
passed into the possession of Mrs. JEFF

PHILOSOPHY OF THE NUN.
The Little sister with the sad But
Peaceful Face Talks of Her
Placid, Busy Life.

Two little nuns with placid faces
framed in bands of white and long,
flowing wells enycloping them like
black clouds were travelling i'm "a Long
Island train the other day. 1t was very
warm. so each took a seat near a win
dow instead of sitting together. One
little nun looked sad. She sighed geu-
tly, and her eyes looked suspiciously
bright as she fingered her wooden
rosary. An inqusitive fellow passcn-
ger took the seat beside her and ven
tured to remark about the weather.
The sad little nun smiled wistfully and
| admitted that it was warm, but added
that il was pleasant in the cars when
the breeze blew. Then she subsitod
into silence and the prying fellow pas
scnger spoke again. She spoke of the
convent at Deep Wood, and asked if
| the little sister knew anything about
it. 81 went to school there" said the
little sister, but | am at Blankton.
| Have you ever been there" The in
/ quisitiyc passenger said that she had
many friends among the Blaukton con-
| vent girls, and recalled some of their
names. The little sister knew most of
them, and asked eagerly for news OF
| this one and that one who had been her
pupils in the long ago.
ut is a very happy life" said the
| little nun when the prying passenger
had told her what "A struggle it had
been for her TO decide whether she
wanted to take the veil of the church
forever or a veil of white tulle for a day.
1--WE see all the troubles of the world,
but are shielded from them Work we
have i'm plenty, but no care or worry.
We are too busy to be lonely, and il
keeps one young and sweet-hearted To
be always among young people, watch
ing their minds and hearts unfold
When Il little girl who has grown ur
under our eyes leaves the convent IL is
sad for MS. One might think that
among so many one might not be
missed, but each one is like a favoritC
rose in flower garden and its place
takes a long while to refill. When they
come back to see us, pretty and happy
we are glad, but when they marry anC
are not well mated, when their children
die and Thy viii BE Done is hard tC
say, then | wish them safe in the peace
full community away from the worlC
and its weariness."
The little nun looked out of the cal
window across the green fields, wher,
= water like sparkling blue ribbons
wound in and out of the green marshes
Her face was as fresh as rose and he
deep-blue eyes shone like the mirrors
of serene soul.-N. Y. Commercial
