COURT SECRETS TOLD
INTERESTING ANECDOTES ABOUT
THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA.
BY No Means as Sweet Tempered at
Home as She Appeared to Her
Subjects-Once Threw Cup of
Tea In Husbands Face.

THE Married Life of Queen Vic
toria," which has been compiled by
Mrs. Jerrold, carries a stage further
the study of the queen, which she be-
gan in THE Early Court Of Queen
Victoria" and many interesting little
anecdotes she tells which never have
been published before.
She prefaces her work by saying
that had the prince consort lived long
enough, the history of England would
have been very different. There would
have been, she says, no great Queen
Victoria, for by 1860 the queen had
so entirely transferred all work to
her husband that, excepting as an
appearance and a signature, the queen
regnant might almost be said not to
have existed, and it would have been
on that point that an English revolu-
ton would have occurred.
Many Of the stories of court life told
in the book will cause a smile in these
later days For instance, it Is mar
rated how the queen ardently desired
that Albert should be made king
consort, which caused Lord Melbourne
to respond impetuously: For Gods
sake, say no more about it, mann, for
those who can make kings can un-
make them!"
Echoes of quarrels between the
royal couple got abroad and on one &C.
casion the queen rushed from the
room. Returning after time, she
found the door locked and knocked i'm
petuously for entry. Who is there?'
cried the prince. THE queen Of Eng
land" was the naughty reply, and all
remained quiet behind the door. Again
and again Victoria knocked, and again
and again came the same question and
answer, till at length the conquered
queen responded: Your wife, Albert"
rhe door was opened, and the weeping
queen was comforted.
Another time the disagreement was
over the tea table, with the re-
suit that she-of-the-passionate-temper
flung the contents of a cup into her
lords face"
In 1S47 there was famine in Ire
land, and the queen wished to ex-
ercise economy in her household.
Two kinds of wheat know as
"frsts" and seconds were in
use, the firsts being Essex white and
the seconds Baltic red. Naturally
the residents in the palace were
fed on the best wheat, which
cost rs per cent. more than the other.
But now that he time of stress had
arrived a royal order was issued that
no description of flour except Sec
onds should be used in her majesty's
household and that the daily allow
ance should be restricted to one pound
per head for every person dieted in
the palace.
The result was that the price of
second flour rose till it equaled
that of the best, and the want
grew more bitter. The queens eco
nomic example, says Mrs. Jarold,
was commented upon at the time.

Brains Behind the Brawn
In Maxwell Factories

This is an age of miracle working in
big business. Every day we hear stories
OF tremendous production in this or that
industry. We marvel at the magic that
in one year sends out into the busy
world thousands upon thousands of mo-
tor cars of single make. We read
that this year the Maxwell Motor com
pany, inc, is making an average Of $50
automobiles every day; that when the
year is DONE 125,000 Maxwell cars will
have been placed on the market, and i'm
mediately our mind IS eye conjures up a
vision of the heroine effort that must
be necessary to accomplish such an up'
dertaking.
We think Of the mammoth factory
and its roaring furnaces, their great
jaws dripping flame. We see the giant
drop hammers banging away in cease

so dramatic, but even more vital than
the rorces engaged in shaping the steel

1t is science practiced on an advanc-
ed scale at the Maxwell plant, because
the builders of Maxwell motor cars
know that they cannot buy steel and
iron according to the reputation of a

the Maxwell product because someone
else has said that it is good material.
