Probably the forms of ser vice in which she found most satisfac- tion were those of the Presbyterian church. She had no curiosity about creeds. References by a preacher at court to her vast empire and her in- fluence over millions of subjects always gave offense. T think he would have

She liked Roman Catholics very much better than Anglican ritual ists, partly because she had respect for their antiquity and partly because she was not the head of their church, and so felt no responsibility about their opinions. The following remarkable passage explains the queens attitude toward her own regal positions:
 When the queen spoke of her subjects as loyal" she meant 1t in the medieval sense. The relation was not, in her eyes, voluntary or sentimental but inn perative. If she had been wicked or a foolish woman it would have been very sad: but the duty of obedience would, in her idea, have been the same. Subjects must be loyal" of they loved their sovereign, so much the better for them and for her, but affectation was not essential. In her phraseology this peeped out-"I, the queen." "lny people" ''my soldiers" She re- garded herself, professionally, as the pivot round which the whole machine of state revolves. This sense, this per- haps even chimerical conviction of her own indispensability, greatly helped to keep her on her lofty plane of daily un- firing duty. And gradually she hypno tized the public imagination, so that at last. in defiance of the theories of his toric philosophers, the nation accepted he queens view of her own functions md tacitly concluded with her that she .uled, a consecrated monarch, by right livine.

the laundry is in the basement such a

what We Most Remembers.

Memory Is for the most part "a trivial
fond record'' of the affairs Of everyday
life, and our intense desire not to hose
the remembrance of these unimportant
everyday matters Is one Of the greatest
testimonies to the predominance Of
happiness over unhappiness In the
world. Do we not feel sorry from our
hearts for any one who has lost such
an infinitely precious possession with
out even wondering whether or no
there was anything In, their past lives
worth recoilecting? After ALL how few
are the hours which any Of us would
blot out OF our lives, Those perhaps
during which we have witnessed or
suffered acute physical or mental pain,
the moment when we engendered the
worm of remsrse which dieth not OF
those few minutes of humiliation
which. whether we trace them to fault
or fate, remain in our minds to "'vex
us like a thing that is raw" But how
small is the part we would have taken
away compared to the part we would
retain London Spectator.

An Execution In China.

The poor wretches were made to dig
a large square pit, and one by one they
were made kncel at the edge with
their hands tied behind their backs. A
Japanese officer stepped forward and
with the ordinary service sword drew
1t back and forward over the poor
wretch's neck, and then with swift
blow it descended, cutting off the head.
The noXt one was as successful. and
then came a terrible spectacle. The Jap
anese officer, after wiping his sword
drew the back to and fro over the
poor wFetch's neck three or four times
before he struck the fatal blow. Down
came the blade On the apex Ct the skull
cutting about two inches into the neck,
The poor wretch fell into the pit, the
Japanese officer climbing down and
saving away at the neck until the head
was severed. The heads were immedi-
ately carried over to the main road and
strung up on poles as an object lesson
to the large number Of Chinese who
were congregated around with blanch'
cd faces.-Canadian Magazine.

A Crank On Clothes.

family persuaded him to go to Poole

the chagrin Of the household Sir Harry
looked more outlandish in the new
clothes than in his old ones. His broth
er-in-faw went to see Poole about it.

assured him. ''Every care was taken,
but how could we fit gentleman wing
would insist upon being measured sit

And the only satisfaction that could
be obtained from Sir Harry Poland
himself later on was the dry comment:

THE UP TO DATE TRUNK.


Acluaes the Wardrobe, BnSeaN,
French DresA and HAT Varieties.
The trunk being very important
item in the comfort of summer journey
ings, some information on the modern
article is subjoined from Vogue:
To begin with warning, do not
waste your money OH cheap trunk.
1t is not even economical in the long
run, and, besides, the purchaser has to
put up with its inferior appearance and
lesser degree Of comfort in its use.
In tho opinion of many, the very best
trunk is the wardrobe trunk. The
wardrobe trunk is constructed on the
pendent principle, 1t being really q
compact, portable clothes closet, stand
ing on end when in use and therefore
taking up the least possible space All
lifting of trays and STOPPING over are
done away with, and twice the usual
amount of clothing can be carried with
out any crumpiing worth mentioning.
Trunks for men carry at least Il do2-
en- suits of clothes, besides hats, toi-
let articles, shirts, undeFclothing and
shoes, each separately to be reached
without disturbing any other article Of
apparel
Less costly, but highly to be COM
mended,- although naturally not 50 SUI
perlatively convenient, is French
dress trunk constructed on the rather
novel plan OF replacing the deep bot
tom receptacle with four dress trays,
resting one on the other These are
augmented with an upper tray divided
into four small compartments for wells,
handkerchiefs, neckbands and small
articles, q large and deep compartment
for hats and square, double PARTITION
for underwear OF what you will. The
dress trays have an advantage over
the old fashioned method, as they can
be packed separately and dropped into
the trunk without the necessity of tire
some STOPPING. They are fitted with
layers of webbing on either end, to
which the bands and bottoms Of the
skirts are to be pinned, and there are
three sets of tapes tying over the top
to secure them in place and prevent the
costumes joiting or jarring. The length

This model can be had for from S25
upward.
Another popular article is the bureau
trunk, which opens from the front and
is the counterpart of its namesake.
There are natural bronze handles, four
skirt drawers and two for bodices and
undergarments, besides an unusually
deep hat department under which is a
secret drawer where valuable papers,
money or jewels can be kept with safe
ty. The price is from $50 upward for
q 40 inch length.
Hat boXes-or trunks, as you prefer
to designate them-one of the comforts
of the times, may be bought at from SO
up, they being so planned as TO carry
the daintiest creations of millinery to
their destination without crumpling.
