of the stoney which he had lost over

The Brxttsh @aeon..
The persistent rumors circulating
in regard to the health of Queen
Victoria and her intention to retire
almost inInitdiately in favor of the
Prince o1' Whales have caused quito'
a sensation in court and other
.places. While it is admitted that
suelt reports have become .current
frequently in previous years, there
is no denying that her Majesty's de-
clining health is causing much
,. ' anxiety to her entourage, and it is
_ .. ,( .£ generally believed that her retire-
' Milt from public life is only a ques-
tion of a short time. Tho Prince
may not be declared regent, but
may exercise the duties of such a
position so all intents and purposes.
The trades people of the West End
may approve of the change should
it take place, for there has been
very much regret expressed ninon
them at the very short and, long -
between visits paid by the Queen to
London of recent years, But,
should her Majesty retire it is safe
to say that t'rom one end of Great
Britain to the other and throughout
the British Empire generally there
will be a profound sentiment of deep
regret that her Majesty's health is
such as to compel her to resign the
duties which she has long fulfilled
to the satisfaction of her subjects.
The key -note touched by Col.
Walker, of the ancient and Honor-
able Artillery Company of Massa-
chusetts, when he referred to Ler
Majesty's "womanliness as Queen,
and queenliness as a woman" finds
an echo even now throughout her
Majesty's dominions.
It is stated by those wl'io are in. a
position to judge of the situation
that her Majesty has felt the weight
of her years more and more since the
death of the late Prince henry of

and devoted attendant upon the, holm, Wingham, Ont.

considerable has been spent in an

Halter -Breaking Show. Animals.
Many a prize has been lost by a
want of 'schooling before the animals
have been brought out to the show -
ring. While this is especially true
of colts and fillies, it also applies to
cattle. A fidgety, nervous animal,
that will shrink away from the touch
of the judge, never shows to any-
thing like the same advantage as the
one that will walk up boldly to
where it is wanted, and then brace
up in an assured, graceful manner.
The only way to 'properly halter -
break cattle is to commence with the
calf, and spend considerable time
every day or two until the animal
understands what is .demanded.
The older a calf is allowed to be-
come before the schooling com-
mences, the more tedious and pains-
taking will the course of training
Become. The writer has found a
rope halter which fits nicely over
the head, back of the ears, and
around the nose, a good sort to use.
It should not be allowed to draw up
good
tightly around the jaw. A g
length of shank is necessary to
hinder a strong calf from gaining
its freedom. It is well to commence
by tying the calf until it realizes the
strength of the halter. Never
