HOBBIES OF QUEENS
Some of the Things They Do to Pass the Time.

ent of catching likeness and trans
hitting it to paper so that even those
who are most caricatured cannot but
laugh at the good natured way in
which their peculiarities are taken off.
1T is not every one who is allowed
to peep into the portfolio of the CA
retza. The Car finds this talent of his
wife an unfailing amusement, and he
himself is not exempted, for the EN-
press has done many funny sketch
of her lord and master, and has man
aged to hit off certain characteristics
of his in a clever manner.
1.-THE Queen Dowager of Saxony is
known far and wide for her charita-
BILE life, and for her unselfshness and
thought for others. Her majesty has
many private interests and occupa-
tions, and perhaps the nearest APP
proach to a hobby is the ardent in
terest she takes in children of all
classes. The schools, orphanages, homes
and sanatoriums which have been
founded by her or through her i1tia-
tive are numerous in SaXony. The ed
ucation and training of children are
subjects of which the Queen never tires
of speaking, and to which she has de-
voted a great part of her life. She is
done untold good during her reign.
Like Queen Alexandra, the German
Empresss hobby is photography. Her
collection of pictures is unique, and
comprises every kind of scene; beauti-
full views and curious people she met
on her Eastern travels; portraits of her
children, IF her husband and other re-
lations; pictures of her children's pets.
and a collection Of photographs Of the
game killed by the Kaiser at Huber
tusstock and Rominthen. Her children
look upon their mother as a wonderful
being, and every time they receive
new pet the first thought is to ask
mamma to photograph it. The photo
graphs taken by the Empress during
her journey to the Holy Land were ex-
hibited with a magic lantern for
charity after her return home.
THE faVorite amuscments of Queen
Wilhelmina are skating and riding;
hut as a child her hobby was the keep
ing of poultry. Her majesty is devoted
to animals and is averse to sport, as
she cannot bear TO think Of the ami
mails in her preserves being slaughter
ed. Her husband, however, shoots as
much as he likes: but formerly, when
the preserves were shot over, the
Queen never appeared or showed that
she took the slightest interest in the
sport Wilhelmina is a beautiful need

is not in the least musical.

nephew, the Duke of the Abruzzi.
Queen Helene has other hobbies. She
is, like her father, poet of no mean
degree, and takes a great delight in
writing verses in various languages.
Queen Charlotte of Wurtemb berg
who was brought up in the country
is fond of all the pleasures of an out
door life. She cycles, rides, walks and
enjoys all country amusements. At
present her majesty is much taken up
with the womans movement, and more
especially in the treatment of women
workers. She Is in favor Of their high
er education, and also of the opinion
that women should receive better
wages She takes an ardent interest
in historical research and in painting
and is also an excellent musician.
Queen Christina of Spain has, per-
haps fewer hobbies than any of our
European sovereign women. The en-
tremely busy lie which she was
Obliged to lead during the period OF the
regency left her little time for relax
alton. What time she could spare from
the duties of state she devoted main
ly to the companionship of her chill
dren, and whenever possible she would
go with them to her palace at San Sc
bastian, on the seacoast, where, while
cling. she would sit on the strand with
her work or a book.
Queen Amalie of Portugal may be
said to be the most energetic Queen
in Europe. She is always busy, and

from Congress for the purpose of max

worms and the production of raw silk.
Kansas experience with the silk

others, that the silk-worm would pass
a mulberry tree by to eat himself
cross-eyed on Usage orange leaves.

he demanded as much attention as a

At first there were visions of for

by the time 5000 individual Kansans
had crawled out of bed at midnight
to roll French worm over on his
back and feel Of his pulse, the anti
siik-worm movement in Kansas grew
quite vigorous, and the siIk-worm
