From a very reliable source it is
learned that Queer Alexandra's health
has not been good lately. Not that her
condition gives any cause for anxiety
or that she is suffering from an. par
ticular ailment, but she has been in
London constantly for more than
year Except for one very short visit
to Sandringham), and London air
never agreed with her. Until quite
recently she had hoped to be able to
take her usual cruise in the Mediter-
ranean this year, but she has now
been forced to give up this idea and
has made it known she intends to stay
at Marlborough house until the war is
over. There will be no entertaining
at Queen Alexandra's town residence,
principally because the queen has In
duced every man of military age in
her service to enlist and as result
her present staff Of servants Is very
small
A young violinist in Copenhagen
made happy hit the other day. Pass
ing an obscure auction store, he
dropped in to take look at the goods
offered for fale. An old violin just
happened to be offered, and although
he did not need it he took liking to
1t on account of its beautifully carved
head. Someone offered $270, and the
violinist began to bid for it. When
he reached s6.75 the other bidders
quit and he got the instrument for
that price. When he came home he
examined 1t closely and found the
name Antonio Stradivarius" on 1t.
He did not pay much attention to this.
for he knew that the real Stradrarius
had host of imitators. He took it to
an expert dealer, however, and he i'm
mediately offered $3.50 for the in
strument, for it was of genuine
Stradivarius make. The owner ad-
mitted that $3.50 Is large sum of
money in the eyes of poor man, but
he refused to sell the violin at that
price.

THE FARMERS FIGHT.

A farmers life is one incessant fight.
Think what he dares! He dares to try
to control the face of this planet. In
order to raise his crops he pits himself
against the weather and seasons; he
forces the soil to his wishes; he wars
against the plant world, the animal world,
the insect world, the bacterial world. Is
not that fight, looked at philosophical
ly, to make one stand aghast? After l
had been on the farm seven years the
tremendousness of the fight that my fell
low-farmers were waging disclosed itself
to me with force no figure of speech
can convey. Until one can be brought
to some realization of this aspect of the
farmers life, he has no adequate grounds
for comprehending the discipline and de-
velopment which in the very nature of
the case that life must receive. l often
contrast the lot of the clerk at his books,
or the mechanic at his bench, or the pro-
fessional man at his desk, with the lot of
the farmer. The dangers and uncertain
ties they confront seem to me extraordi-
narily mild compared with the risk the
farmer runs. That the former will be
paid for their work is almost certain; it
is extremely uncertain whether the farm
er will be paid for his. He must dare to
lose at every turn; scarcely week pass
es in which he does not lose, sometimes
heavily, sometimes considerably. Those
moments in battle when it seems as if
every plan had gone to smash, which so
test the fortitude of a general, are mo
ments which a farmer experiences more
frequently and more strenuously than
men in most occupations. Arthur M.
Judy, in the May Atlantic.

THE mnscHrEr.LovINc CROW.

Writing Of the many amusing charac-
! teristics Of the crow. in Harper's for
March, Walter Prichard Eaton tells of
the annoying way in which certain pet
crow pestered a totally inoffensive dog
and lamb.
cit was curious to watch his instinct
to hide. things manifest itself in hum
dred odd ways, to the human mind not in
the least related to food-supply. Any
small object which was bright and shining
particularly attracted him, and he would
spend hours attempting to hide bits of
broken crockery or glass in the dogs fur
or in his ear. Don's ear was favorite
hiding place. Jim would get bit of
crockery in his beak, hop upon the dogs
head, drop it neatly into his ear, and then
carefully fold the ear-flap down over the
aperture. If Don objected and raised his
ear agai Jim would once more grab it
and fold it down, scolding meanwhile. If
Don were wide-awake he did not seem to
mind this performance in the least, but
if he CHANGED to be sleepy he. would get
up with bored air, shake out the crock
cry from his ear, and with the lock of
one who says, For Heavens sake, why
can't they leave me in peace! walk away
to some other place. Nothing discourage
ed, Jim would slowly follow along be-
hind him, keeping an eye cooked mean
while for fresh bit of shiny stuff (even
bright pebble would do.), and, when
Don once more lay down, the entire oper-
alton would be repeated.
Zone could never be certain at these
times how far Jim's actions were purely
teleological-th exercise in captivity of
instincts upon which the endurance of
the wild species depends and how far
there was mingled with them an almost
human love of teasing. For Jim unques-
tionably loved TO tease. OF that there
could be no doubt He knew, too, just
as dog knows, who could be leased and
who couldn't, There two lambs on the
place, one a stolid creature, and one of
totally different temperament, highly
eXcitable, in fact. Jim discovered the
difference after a single trial. AS they
were frsking about one day he lit first
on the back of one and then on the back
Of the other, sinking his claws into the
wool with good grip, Tapping his wings,
and cawing delightedly. One lamb paid
no attention to him, but the other i'm
mediately took fright and began to buck
like bronco, or rather an animated saw
horse, and then to cavort about the past
ure lot. Thereafter Jim confined his at
tentlons entirely to her. He never tried
to ride the other lamb, but again and
again he would pounce down suddenly
upon the poor timid ones back, set up
great Tapping and cawing, and speedily
enjoy a free ride over goodly portion
of the surrounding landscape.
