Are you a busy, worried woman, who conies home at nighb with temples throbbing and every muscle aching from fatigue? If iso, you often eay to yourself, "1 am dead tired and I haven't the ambition to dress or even comb my hair for the evening." Then you lounge about and go to bed about 9 o'clock with your head still aching and your limbs just as tired as when you came in. The next time you feel that way, just alip off the waist of your gown, brush your hair up on top of your head and bathe the back of your neck with hot water. When the pain is a little relieved wash your face with the same reviver, and by the time this is done you will feel like brushing your hair and fixing up a bit, or we are very much mistaken.

Decoration Day. rnaOrnriaLgtiroFo'atiereiblirueg4frr . thed.. daughter, Primmer klar- rearet of Freesia Queen Victoria appeared to be in nom than crdinary spirits. The festive event was cele- brated at Osborne in the custosnary way, via., lay a grand dinner party given by Her Majesty. h these recurring alliances between Royalties— alliances which may have a wonderful in- fluence upon the destiny of nations—Queen Victoria takes a deep and unabated interest. At dinner Her Majesty gave the toast in these words : "1 wish to propose the health of my dear grandchildren, Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse, with every wish for their happiness.' "Hear, hear," shouted the Marquis of Lorne and Prince Henry of Bat- tenberg, and Prince Ernest of Hohen- 1 )he; then Lady Biddulph, Lady Cowell, Madame Morrine Melte. Perrot and Miss Ponsonby clinked one another' glasses before they drank, and the glass held by the Queen was touched by the glasses held up by the Princess Lottise and Princess Beatrice. Queen Victoria has manifested more interest in the marriage of her grand daughter Margaret than might be supposed from the absence of the usual on dits about the match. As a matter of fact, Her Majesty took a large amount of trouble in arranging the trousseau with her eldest daughter, and much of the drapery was marked by the Queen herself with the assistance of Princess Beatrice. All, or almost all, the linen was • sent from Eng- land, and was bought in Belfest—a fact which will no doubt annoy many Germans; but as it was paid for by the British Sovereign, it was only fitting that Eogland, or as in this case, Ireland, should have supplied it. The design with which the linen Was stamped was a simple M under a Hohenzollern crown. VICTORIA'S WEDDING DAY FUNCTION. On the 10th instant Her Britannic Majesty celebrated the fifty third year of lier marriage with the ever -lamented Albert the very good. The occasion was not oae of tribulation this year, but one of rejoic- ing. The young people round the Palace, Princess Trixy, Louise of Wales, the Oen- naughts and the rest of them, are heartily sick of the lamentation racket and gam- nmned their august relative into letting them have a carpet dance after dinner. This State ball was quite a quiet and family affair, but it was the first that has been held for twenty -nye years, and much ex- citement was engendered in consequence. VILLA PALMIERI A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. Queen Victoria's tenmorary residence. the Villa Palmieri'near Piesiole, Florence. is quite ready for the reception of Her Maj- esty, except the portable electric lamps, which are being sent out from England. The date of the departure of the Queen and court for Florence will probably be Monday, the 20th of March. Ihe grounds at Villa Palmieri are being beautifully laid out with flowera, so thattay, tbe time , Her Majesty arrives' the surroundings will be in full beauty. The royal villa gardens are noted for floral displays, and, as Queen Victoria's bed -room is to be on the ground floor., flowers of the sweeteat perfume have been purposely planted just under the window. Indeed millions of flowers have been planted and sown all round, on and over the house and terraces, so than when they are in bloom, as they will be in six weeks, the entire villa will present the appearance ole gigantic bouquet. HER MAJESTY PREFERS INDIA TO IRELAND. Queen Victoria is a good traveller, but verypartial as to the direction she takes. During the fifty-five years of her reign she has spent but a few days in her olosmlying Emerald Isle ; while among other Monarchn subjects she has treated herself to many a month's "change of air" and recreation, by the advice of obliging physicians. It has been evident, though, that within the last decade Her Majeety's fancy has been rather taken by her Oriental possessions, her de- voted Mohammedans and Hindoos, their tributes in shawls, jewels and Eastern bric- a-brac, the tongues that they speak, and the intense loyalty breathed • by a chosen few of their reprentatives on approaching the Empress of India. The Queen's pet idea still is "to see India" before she dies, and although the British Government will not hear of her under- taking such a journey, Her Majesty is per- petually harping upon ib, and hoyes by perseverance to break down ,the 'paltry objection," as she is pleased to term it. Most people are of the opinion that the trip would do the old lady a lot of good. She is strong and hearty, and with the comfort and ease with which she could travel, a solemn jaunt through India to her would be no more fatiguing than one of her periodical flits to Balmoral. The heat is the only question. Her Majesty likes cold, and no artificial apparatus has yet been designed to make India cool, no not even for its Em- press' special behoof. WALES GOES A " HOPPING. London society is much distressed by the fact that the Prince of Wales and his set have resolved to reintroduce the hhpastep in dancing. The present rapid style in 'waltz- ing is entirely due to the influence of the Prince of Wales. Some years ago the waltz in London ball -rooms degenerated from a glide into a crawl. The sieve waltz was all the thing at every dance, private or sub- scription. People who dashed round the room were regarded as Philistines and monstere. But suddenly His Royal High- ness got the needle" over this very alow and crawling style of dancing, and he ordained that feet waltzing should once more predominate. It has done so. To waltz in London ball -rooms is to engage in quite a race. Nobody crawls nowadays. it is considered "rank" bad form to de 80. The step, however, though quick, le ann. venally popular. The idea of the old hop - step taking its place is aa appalling to many people as the threatened.crinoline revival.

The fine hone; which was restored and enlarged a few yeara ago, °couplets a magnificent site above the Dee, and is surrounded by woods, cliffsi and mountains. The scenery in the neighbor- hood is most romantic. Invercauld, more- over, 18 000 of the most attractive sporting domains in Scotland, the deer stalking, grouse shooting and eahnon fishing all being first rate. Inveroauld has been let since June, 1888, to Sir Algernon Borthwick, M. P„ but Mr. Farquharson and his bride will take up their residence there in the summer. CHARLES THE MARTYR'S DECORATION ran. The anniversary day of the execution of King Charles I., which was on January 30th, is always observed as a quiet day by Queen Victoria and her family. Some fanatics of late years have taken to decorat- ing the statue of the beheaded monarch at Charing Cross on the date of his death, after the same method adopted by other cranks who are votaries at the shrine of Beacons. field and Gordon. There has always been some doubt as to the actual spot on which the scaffold was erected, but the account of the execution as given in a paper published 5th 11 ebruary, 1648 9 upsets the suggestion that the unfortunate monarch suffered on the spot now occupied by Le Sour's statue, oast in 1633, but not set up till 1674. The Making of scissors. Though no complexities are involved in the making of sciasors, or much skill re- quired, yet the process of manufacture is very interesting. They are forged from good bar steel heated to redness, each blade being cut off with sufficient metal to feral the shank, or that destined to become the cutting part and bow, or that which later on is fashioned into the hold- ing portion. For the bow a small hole is punched, and this is afterward expanded to the required size by hammering it on a conical anvil, after which both shank and bow are filed •into a more perfect shape and the hole bored in the middle for the rivet. The °blades are next ground and the handles made smooth and burn- ished with oil and emery, after which the pairs are fitted together and tested as to 'their easy working. They are not yet finished, however. They have to undergo hardening and tempering, and be again adjusted, after which they are finally pat together again and polished for the third time. In comparing the edges of knives and scissors it will be noticed, of course, that the latter are not in any way so sbarply ground as the former, and that, in cutting, scissors crush and bruise more than knives.—The Inventive Age.

The speech, •indeed, was marvellous for a rnan of 84 years. But if he has shown that he can etill bend the bow of 1.71yeses, his most un- critical admirers will hardly refuse to con. fess that he no longer aends the arrow straight to the mark. The exclusion of the Irish members frorn Weetminster, the very corner -stone of Mr. Gladstone' policy of 1886, has disappeared. The most indulgent will fail to dis- cern the faintest sign of finality in the scheme and his omiseion of any reference to the land question until .ques- tioned on the subjeot, indicates plainly how he has artificially restricted his view. The ptoposed Upper Council is an exceedingly doubtful protection for the minority. The moot fertile source of (marvel will be the financial proposals." The Times denounces the retention of the Irish members at West- minster, and ridicules the notion that they can sit in two Parliaments simultaneously. "Thio beautiful provision enables the Irish to have absolute control of both English and Irish legislation, unfettered by the illusory veto that is proposed." The Graphic says " The prospects of the bill are not rosy. The measure bristlea with difficulties. A controversy is likely to rage over the veto power and the retention of the Irish members at Westminster. The latter proposal is undoubtedly the weakest part of the bill." The Chronicle says "Mr. Gladstone achieved a feat unique in the life of any legislator of ancient or modern time. The retention of the Irish members is according to our jadgment, one important feature that makes the Horne Rule Bill acceptable to both England and Ireland. /altogether the present bill is a great improvement on the bill of 1886, and those opposing it ought to produce some alternative plan of theirown." The Telegraph speaks of the eight of Mr. Gladstone delivering his speech as a specta- cle to which the world cannot supply a parallel. " It was," says the Telegraph, 'a truly wonderful exhibition of that form of moral courage which shows itself in light- hearted unconsciousness of difficulties. Marvellous as a physician and intellectual tour deform, it is not statesmanship, nor does it bear the remotest resemblance to anything deserving the name." The Standard says: " Tbe measure is impracticable and impossible. If passed it would never work. The device of the re- tention of the Irish raembersat Wemaninster is such a palpable absurdity that Gladstone himself could not attempb to treat it seri- ously. The speech, however, was a persoral triumThe ph." ing Post says: "Tho measure is more futile and fantastic than before sub- mitted to a civilized assembly." The Dublin Preentan's Journal says: "Whilst open to improvement the Bill is altogether a good water -tight measure." The Irish Times says: "Seven years have failed to teach Mr. Gladstone respect 'either of the rights of the Irish minority or of the facts of history. Ulster says simply it will not have it." The Dublin Express nye : " It is mostly a mere repetition of the former bill. Where it diffeis it 18 more complex . and impracti- cable. • The suggested safeguards are most illusory." TIrish Independent says: "No defi- :Ate opinion can be expressed until the text of the bill is before the publics, especially 88 Mr. Gladatone's method is unusually in. volved. On the points of police and finance, the bill seem especially bad and *tiaras Parnell's account of his interview with GlTadhseomtocne.na" • ents of a score of leading Pro- vincial dailies show that the Unionists have no disposition to give the bill any quarter. Michael Devitt, anti-Parnellite, in an interview ;mid the bill was more democratic and practicable than the bill of 1886, al - •though he personally would prefer a single chamber. He was satisfied Mr. Gladstone would carry the 6111. The Parnellites express hesitant approval of the bill, though they are dissatisfied with the proposal to retain the land under Etiglish juruadiction for three years. It is generally admitted the bill will be allowed to pass the second reading with little or no opposition, and that the real fight will be reserved for the final stages. Wm. °Brien, M. P. for Cork city, said this morning in an interview regarding the Hoare Rule Bill: " It seems to me the main principles of the bill provide for a better settlement of the Home Rule ques- tion than the bill of 1886. Our chief reser- vation is on the financial proposals. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Gladstone's surplus of half a million pounds is real. Mr. Sexton, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Blake aud others of our friends fear that the full extent of Irish local charges have not been taken into account. The proposed contribution for the support of the police will involve a formidable drain for the first few 3reare. Irishmen will hold their opinions on sueh Masters at present and do the threshing out when the figures are fully examined and understood. Nevertheletsss, the main lines of the bill are a noble and sufficient settle- ment of the national claims. We are able to heartily recommend Irish acceptance of the measure. It gives substantial control over our domestic affairs. We should not be justified in resenting the provisions giving the minority adequate representation and providing for a veto by the Crown and the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament, The second ehainber will doubtless he a con- siderable body and the franchise of twenty pounds will probably insure a majority of the members of the coancil for the Tory landowners, who are certain to com- bine against any extravagant proposals on the part of the popular chamber. Thia, however, is not likely to be a stumbling bloat, as the Nationaliste do not oontein. plate a revolutionery programme, :The progintrone of the Nationaliets would be Sympathetie and patriotic, combining all sensiblepeople in the work of advancing the hUsinese inteteste of Ireland."
