Mother ana queen.

Queen Victoria always made it .
point to keep the religious instruc-
ton of her children as much as pos
sible in her own hands. Once when
the archdeacon of London was cate
chizing the young princes. he said:
''Your governess deserves great
credit for instructing you SO thor
oughly."
At which the youngsters piped up:
cit is mamma who teaches us our
catechism!"
It is not perhaps generally known
that the queen occasionally taught a
Bible class for the children of those
in attendance at Windsor palace
London Beacon.

One day she called a carpenter and
planned with him to have some work

After the work was done the bill sub

The right arm Is always q little lar
ger than the left, but the left foot IL
always larger than the right.
presumably because while nearly every
man uses his right arm to lift a weight
or strike a blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
Younger stands on his left leg and let's
his right fail easily, because he has
learned by experience that this IL the
best attitude he can assume to prevent
iassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than
the right, and it often happens that a
man who tries on a SHOE on the right
foot and gets a close fit has to discard
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness Of the left. II when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice. you will see that In laced
shoes the gap is much smaller on the
right foot than on the left. while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times on the left shoe tc
once on the right.

Writing Book.

Inc following confession of a novel;
LIST as to the method in which be wrote
one Of his books is not without inter-
.st. He had had the story outlined in
his notebook fov q long time ard ought
to have been able to write it. but did
not feel able. Then one day he hap
pened to think of it again and saw, al
most as If it had been a stage scene.
the little tableau with which the book
was to clOse-one of those ehds which
are also a beginning. So he began tc
work and in a short time had compl,t.
ed the first three chapters. Then, for
no reason that he can give, there was a
jump, and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered XXI and XXI, the
last in the book. Then he went back
and wrote straight on from Nv to XVII.
The story had been with him so long
that 1t was the easiest thing in the
world to write it, and so he got through
this part Of the work With remarkable
celebrity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for a
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up a big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then
he got desperate. The chapter should
be written and should stand, whether
good or bad. He wrote it and left the
house because II was bad and he had
resolved not to tear 1t up. Next day
he wrote chapter XIX. and on the me
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get into
it all that he had failed to get before.
Then he wrote chapter XN. and the
book was completed.-London Post.

shireman, and be dearly loved a joke.
But jokes seemed a long way off just
then, and the old man was thinking
deeply when he was accosted by a
tramp. who made the usual request for
a nights lodgings and something to
eat, as he explained he had had moth
ing for two whole days. The effect
upon the farmer when he said this was
magical.
"Why, man." he said, 1--WE been look
ing for you all day"
And then without more ado he
knocked him down and walked on him
from one end to the other. The tramp
got up, looking very staggered, and
asked him why lac had done that.

Peculiarities of Footpaths.

No one really makes a footpath-that

''The native paths" wrote Professor
Drummond. ''are the same in character
all over Africa. Like the roads of the

straightforwardness there Is a singu-
