AN AMERICAN
MAID Of HONOR
This Coveted Position in Queen Vic
toria's Household Is to Be Given
to a Former New oYrk Beauty.

The news comes from England that
an American girl is soon to be APP
pointed as one of the maids of honor to
Queen Victoria, and that this master
stroke of good fortune will fall upon
the head of the Countess Of Stanford,
who was before her last marriage, Mrs.
Colgate, widow Of a New York million
aire.
The appointment is to be given to the
Countess of STAFFORD IN honor of the
signal services performed by her late
husband n his family to the royal fam
lily of Great Britain. The Earl Of Straf-
ford. it will be remembered, was killed
almost a year 6 by a train, some say
by accident, others claim by design.
A COVETED POSITION.
Few women, even those high in social
circles, know the requirements of a maid
of honor to a Queen. Everyone knows,
however. that it is a grand-souding title
and one greatly sought after, since the

sary in deciding those paragraphs which
will interest and not bore her gracious
listener.
Then comes the drive Of one to two
hours-often a very dreary one, unless
Her Majesty presents a question or de-
sires to engage in conversation.
The maid of honor generally takes
luncheon with the household, but is often
called upon to join the royal party, where
even eating becomes a duty of state.
The customs Of court etiquette are
very trying to a naturally h~igh-spirited
woman. She is not permitted to speak
unless spoken to.
TRYING AT TIMES.
This is the hardest duty Of all-the
suppression of her w thoughts and
opinions, the subduing of impulses and
characteristic traits, to be nothing but
a cipher in the royal court, IN an echoer
of royal remarks.
After luncheon Her Majesty rests for
an hour, and it is the maids duty to
see that she is undisturbed, and that alb

she is asked to join the royal dinne4
party, and as many things of grave imJ
p~Ortance are discussed in her hearin8S
she is bound over to strict secrecy with
regard to the doings and sayings at
court.
Thus a maid Of honor-a woman to
whose sex a secret Is generally thought
to be impossible-must guard every
confidence of the royal family, and lock-
every secret up safe within her hearth
the term, maid of Honor seeming I'd
have in this case a double meaning.
Perhaps the most trying point about
the work Of a maid Of honor Is that she
Is never able to sit down except by the
desire of her royal mistress.
The long hours of standing-so se<
we're on a delicate woman's constitutions
are the greatest hardship of the day
much more fatiguing than hours of mens
tai or physical work; for, except wheu
driving or when hidden to join the royal
table, a maid of honor may never voluns
tarily take a seat in the presence Of royS
atty.

The chief characteristic of this early
winters tailor built gowns have rather
evolved themselves from the broad sug-
gestive hints put forth by the coutur-
ieres during all the latter part of his
summer. Nothing in the way of lat
est wrinkles have been sprung on US.
Only by reminiscing and conjuring up
last winters models can we fully appre-
ciate the fact that this winters gowns
may lay any claims to characteristics
at all.
One thing for which we should be truly
grateful is the noticeable decrease in the
length of skirts. The up-to-date, sWag-
ger tailor made gowns never trail, they
barely escape the ground all round.
Among the new models there are num-
bers built with high cOrselet centuries
hat are a continuation Of the skirt,
evading expressly that definite waist
line. for an empire effect is the thing
sought. A bolero is almost exclusively
confined to the dressier toilettes made up
with a great deal of velvet and guipure.
For morning wear the tailor gowns
built with skirt and boleroS or Elton
jackets to match are in the majority. To
this category too, belong the gowns with
the new glove fitting short Jackets fast
ening down the front with a single row of
bone buttons.

Inspection by Tapping.


Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich Reserve Depot
are the doings of small party of Of
fcials, one of whom appears to do
nothing all day long but sit at table
and tap on the top of tin canisters
with couple of bits of stick some
thing after the manner OF child beat
ing on the upturned end of his drum.
The tins are passed before him about
as fast as he can tap them, and abso-
lutely nothing seems to come Of the
game. To the unenlightened onlooker
it is quite unintelIigible. The tins
contain meat, and before they are
passed into the store it is, of course,
important to examine the condition of
what is inclosed, and this in fact. is
the way it is done. The trained ear
of the expertexaminer can tell whether
the meat is in a wholesome or a putrid
condition by the sound emitted when
raped with the stick, just as the ex-
aminer of railway carriage wheels is
supposed to be able to tell whether
the wheel he taps with his hammer is
cracked or not. The rapidity with
which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattention of the per-
former with the sticks, and his total
indifference to all sorts of noises about
him, render the procedure a very
curious one to watch. The test is
said to be practically infallible.-Lon-
don News.

The Music Cure Is the I.atest.

Fashionable physicians in many OF
the large cities ere dealing with a
class of patients by what they term
the, e,music cure. It is worthy sue
cessor of the color cure, which held
sway a couple Of years back and was
not half a bad idea, as it often soothed
the mind. II is said that the music
cure is antique. for search through
the books of the ancients has revealed
many allusiops to the curative power
of!musie, in certain ailments mainly
of q nervous character. 1t was useu
in times Of pestilence and plagne to
divert the minds Of the people from
the disaster which threstpned them.
\ Il is said that musicincites the action
of the heart, and that influences the
blood circulation. 1t also stimulates
the activity of the skin. The health
and steady nerves of the Germans are
cited as proofs of the medicinal
powers of music; and while We may
not give it full credence, we must al
least admit that nobody was ever IN
jured by the sound of music, so pn!'

A New Thing In Schools.

At Ilsenberg, in the Hartz Noun.
tains, in Germany, I investigated
thoroughly DR.. Herman lietz's school.
It represents strongly the reaction
against the machine method of con-
trolling public.school system. DR..
Lietz has fifty five pupils, represent.
ing nearly as many countries. The
school is on farm of eighty acres,
containing orchard, garden, cereal
fields and workshop. The principal
building is an old powder mill. The
work of converting it to school-house
was done by the boys. The boys do
the farm work and everything that is
to be done. Their studies begin at 8
o'clock in the morning and at the end
of an hour they exercise. They re-
turn to books and after period of
study they have a luncheon. After
another hours study they have more
play. DR.. Lietz has something new
for the boys every hour. and the way
they rushed at their work and at their
play was remarkable. The afternoon
is spent in the workshop and out of
doors. The result of the system is
that the boys are not dull for minute.
Their minds OF bodies are always at
work.-Dean Jackman, in Chicago

Hollands Famous Tulip Craze.

"Iu the year 1884 the tulip craze
in Holland" writes Clifford Howard,
in the Ladies' Home Journal, ''be-
came 50 great that the ordinary in
dustries were neglected. No one
wanted to do anything but raise tulips.
A rare specimen offered for sale called
forth exciting bidding. Every one
was on the lookout for special varie-
ties. It was rumored at one time
that there were but two bulbs Of the
Semper Augustus in existence in Hol-
land. One of them was owned by q
florist in HARLEM. and another by a
dealer in Amsterdam. This rumor
was sufficient to arouse the liveliest
commotion in tulip circles, and dealers
and fanciers hurried forward with
offers to purchase-each one endeav-
.oring to outbid the other. The COM
petition became so eager that finally
one man offered twelve acres of city
property for the HARLEM bulb; but
the owner refused TO- sell. The bulb
in Amsterdam was knocked down to
the highest bidder for nineteen hum
dred dollars in cash, two horses, q
carriage and set of harness. total
of about three thousand dollars, which
in those days was a fabulous sum-"

A Pretty Wash Frock.

A pretty little wash frock for little
girl is striped watermelon pink and
white, each stripe having little
figure upon it. Stripes lend them
selves prettily to trim mings. This
has pleated ruffle around the skirt,
pleated so that the red stripe comes
together solidly at intervals. The
waist is pleated back and front so that
the red is again together, and the
same effect is given in the short pulled
sleeves. There is lace insertion let
in at all the seams of the skirt of this
little frock, at the head of the pleated
.rufle, and it outlines the pleats in the
front and back of the waist. This is
made to wear with guimpe.

first pastoral call at the Fosdicks, he
took little Anna up in his arms and
tried to kiss her. But the child re-
fused to be kissed; she struggled
loose and ran off into the next room,
where her mother was putting q few
finishing touches to her adornment
before going into the parlor to greet
the clergyman. -
Mamma, the little girl whispered,
the man in the parlor wanted me to
Kiss him."
"Well," replied mamma, "why
didn't you let him? I would if were

Thereupon Anna ran back into the
parlor, and the minister asked:'
"Well, little lady, won't. you kiss
me now?"
"No, I WON'T, replied Anna,
promptly, "but mamma says she will. "

Last summer q woman who lives in
Harlem went to the country for 9
months holiday. Before leaving she
gave her pet canary, Dick, into the
hands of the woman in the next fat
to care for until her return. Dick
missed his mistress the next day and,
after a tender little song, hushed his
voice and would sing no more. He
ate very little and began to droop
visibly. AS the days went by he be-
came simply miserable little bunch
of Sones and yellow feathers. One
morning the woman who had charge
of him found him on his back, dead,
in the bottom of his gilded cage. He
had died of grief at the loss of his
mistress.-New York Herald.
