There are thousands of
sickly school -girls all over
this broad land that are
dragging their way through
school -life who might enjoy
that abundant life which be-
longs to youth by simple at-
tential to hygienic laws and
a proper course of treatment
with Scott's Emulsion. This
would make the blood rich,
the heart-beat strong; check
that tendency to exhaustion
and quicken the appetite by
strengthening the digestion.
Our book tells more about
it. Sent free.

of the mystery. It was gone but by
whose hand it was difficult to say.
Of course, the news that their em-
ployer had been robbed ran like wild-
fire through the small community. It
was Richard Starkie who first made
public the ill news—for no official in-
formation of it was given ; but to his
fellow -worker he dare not try to in-
criminate young Acland for Acland

Starkie knew well that any remarks
seggertive of his guilt would be re-
ceived in stony silenoe—the silence of
sheer disbelief.
Thatevening Bob Acland went to
see Elsie Venner, the girt , f his heart.
There was no actual engagement be-
tween them but Elsie understood
quite well that Bob was only waiting
for a rice of salary before asking her
to be his wife. He had intended to
tell her nothing about what had oc-
curred at the offioe during the day
but the quick-witted girl soon saw
that something was amiss and taxed
him with it And after a little hesi-
tation on his part and *little pressing

American housekeepers, who are for
ever wailing about the servant ques-
tion, will find it interesting to k'now
how Queen Victoria, who keeps four
times .many domestics as any one on
this continentoiiii .gas them.
No aervagt is ever dismissed from a
royal palace. This is probably the
reason why we hear so little gossip of
any kind about Her Majesty's house-
hold arrangements. The Qpeen early
made op her mind that much of her
oomfort and peace depended on the
attitude taken by her towards those
with whom she could not but be
brought constantly in contact
A000rdingly, no domestic is ever
engaged without the strictest enquiry
being made into his or her private
eharaoter and general qualifications
for the post shout to be filled, and,
should a mistake appear to have been
made, the pompon in question is not
sent away with a more or Isla goal
oharaotor,as would be the case in most
establiahosentl, but he or she is sim-
ply moved down a step and:given a po-
'tion of less responsibility.
Matrimonial engagements are not
discouraged, providing the contracting
parties are considered thoroughly re-
spectable. When a marriage is im-
minent,the Queen sands for the young
woman, and after a few kindly words
of advice. presents her with a large
family Bible. Also, if the prospective
bade has been in the royal service
some time and has been dietinguished
by good behaviour, bar ' troaasesa is
provided, and she is also presented
with a small post, carrying with it a
residence. Most of the royal lodges
ars occupied by couples wile were once
in ssrviss at the oestls.
