when the Raven Was MIX white.

According to Mohammedan belief.
the ravens which Noah took with him
on the ark were both pure white. When
the ark had been riding the pillows Of
the flood for thirty days one Of
the CRATES died. and the carcass was
thrown overheard. No sooner had 1t
struck the water than the ravens
pounced upon 1t. For this Noah cursed
them. and since that day they have
been coal black.

The Queens Home Life.

The following is the queen $ approx
innate daily program: Breakfast is
taken at $3.50 am, a thoroly modest
meal, in which the Geldersche Rog.
gebrood, homely, dark-colored rye
bread, figures largely. f.
After breakfast the queen withdraws
Immediately to her private study,
where, with much conscientiousness she
goes thru the state documents which
await her perusal and signature each
morning. This is task which. for
Queen Wilhelmina, involves serions
work, for she insists upon making mi
mute and accurate investigation of all
details and puts her name to no docu-
ment until she has thoroly mastered
its contents. This means numerous
wearisome audiences of explanation
for the young queen as well as an ex-
tensive correspondence to be carried on
with her ministers.
When state affairs are satisfactorily
disposed of, Queen Wilhelmina turns
to the management of her household.
Domestic affairs find her, it is said.
less queen than womanly woman.
Morning calls, ETC., are then made, af-
ter which lunch is eaten at 1 o'clock.
A fresh pile Of desk work then occu-
pies Queen Wilhelmina until 4 o'clock.
when it is customary for her to take
a drive. Dinner. by no means lengthy
or overluxurious meal, is eaten pune
tually at 7.
