yeara without revealing aught of

Perhaps the Most remarkable tea.
tare in the Queen's career leas been
.tbe skill, with whloh she hats contriv-
ed to maintain the charm and sin:Mlle
city of an old-fashioned Englishhome-
life notwithstanding the penile and
ceremony wbtoh necessarily belong to
a court.
• In treating of this subject Inv the
flarensworth Magazine Mr, W,I. Win-
tle says that strict economy was the
rule in 'the, early borne of the present
sovereign of Great Britain and India.
The daughter of the Duke of Kent, a
Prince of very limited income, the
young Princess Victoria, saw little of
the luxuries which is corumonlY sup-
posed to abound in rept 'circles. Her
early training has never been forgot-
ten.
Amid the costly magnificence which
characterizes the state apartments,
Qoeen Victoria's private rooms are ale
weys *table for their comfort and
homeliness. It has long been known
that at matters of ,dress Qieeen Vie-
toria is far more' economical than many
of her middle class subjects. AptoPos
of this the following story is related
by Mr, Wintle.
Soine time ago a. newly appointed
equerry was going through the sta-
bles when he saw a person in a shab-
by black dress and mushroom hat look-
ing at the horses.
Possessing more zeal than discre-
tion, he at once called out, "My good
woman you must go away at once.
Strangers are not allowed here when
the Queen is in residence."
As she aid not seem inclined to leave
• he went on to threaten to have her es-
• corted to the gates. Judge of his Keel-,
ings when the shabbily dressed old
lady turned round, and • the Queen
stood revealed I
The Queen attributes her long life
and excellent health very largely to
her praetice of spending as much time
as possible in the open air every day.
Every.morning Her Majesty gees out,
in Iter little ponychair,. often Visit-
ing the farm and stables in the course
of her drive. Sometimes .her chair is
drawn by a beautiful donkey- which
was purchased in tthe South of France
by his royal mistress to save him front
ill treatment.
This donkey rejoices in the name of
Janke and on holiday occasions wears
a curious harness adorned with bells,
and with two foxes' brushes hanging
over the blinkers.
°• The greater part of the forenoon of
each weekday Is devoted to bustnes%
for no Woman in the land gets through
more actual work in the course of each
week than the Queen, Her des,patoh
boxes Are arranged on a table set in
Windsor Park, near the Frogmore tea
house, whenever the .weather perniits.
In summer she will by this time have
breakfasted out of .dors. •.
Here the Queen carefully reads and
• annotates the innumerable despatches
which come to her •from the Foreign
and Home office; for it has been the
rule of her life to attend 'personally
to all important affairs of state.
While the Prince Consort lived he wee
able to relieve her of a vast amount
• of routine work, but since his death
• the work has gone on just the same,
though it has been done by one, in-
stead of two persons. In one year
•Queen Victoria dealt with an average
of two hundred and fifty despatches
each day. Her private correspondence
is enormous, for it is a kind of un-
written law that all her children and
grandchildren shall write to her ev-
ery clay. All these letters are read
with deep interest and are fully An-
swered,
The royal bag also contains letters
by the hundred from persons of all
classes and upon allekinds of busi-
ness, import e ',re:A..1nd the reverse. Tj1080
arefieeeerra ;eraiimined by the private sec-
ehiohafTes, and those that are of any
r consequence are then submitted to the
Queen, who gives directions for a re-
ply too exteh. • •
All housekeeping questions are set-
tled by the royal mistress herself;
who personally orders the meals and
even keeps an ore upon the house-
hold linen. Even the smallest details
of domestic &economy are not regarded
by the Queen as beneath her notice. A
story is told that on one occasion she
went into a practically disused room
at Windsor and noticed a cabinet that
had evidently not been dusted that
day: She promptly wrote the royal
a,utograpla in the dust, and beneath
it the name of the particular maid
whose duty it was to dust the room.
• Thismay seem rather a small mat-
ter, but when one remembers that
nearly two thousand persons are em-
ployed in Windsor Castle and its pre-
cincts, it shows a very remarkable
knowledge of (the personnel of so vast
a staff. •
After the busymorning's work, the
Queen partakes of a frugal lunch. Not -
Withstanding the resources of the roy-
al kitchens and, the well laden table
that Her lliajesty! always likes to see
before her, she sets an example of
strict moderation, her own tastes in
'food being of the simplest.
The .Queen is a great iitickler for
old-fashioned observances at the roy-
al table. • In particular she insists up-
on a plentiful supply of cold viands
on the sideboard, though she very
rarely partakes of anything cold,
' The servants at Balmoral will nev-
er forget one oceagion when only the
half of a cold chicken graced the side-
board. The royal mistress noticed the
state of dffairs on entering the rooln:
Soon she conveyed a hint to Princess
Beatrice and Lady Ely to both ask for
cold chicken, and asked for thto same
herself.•
Great was the consternation, und the
Queen secretly enjoyed the scene;
though the servants certainly did ttot
enjoy the lecture they subsequently
received from thee:mister. of the house-
hold.
PUT TO TEST.
Both in the northern and western
islands of Scotland the natives have
eorne peculiar customs unfamiliar to
the dwellers of the main hied, One
of these, known as the"marriage test,"
Is ptacticed in the island of St, Kilda,
where the population barely exceeds
a hundred. The desire among the is
hinders to increase this number does
not seem to be exceptionally strong,
and every Man before he is deemed
an evolution with no little bodily risk,
The St. Kirdans Are, of Weirs°, adept
dock climbers, and the aspirant for
matrimony is therefore subjected to
the test of balancing himself on one
leg on a tarrow ledge overhanging a
prectpiee, bending his body at the same
time In order to hold the foot of 'his
other leg in his had. If found lack-
ing in courage the maiden Withdraws
her betrothal, and should the man fall
over the ledge it is presumed that, in
his ease, he will be diaqualified.

no, he wouldn't. If it had been me
or the girl, he woold have had a doc-

Mr..h.Greatheart nodded -indicating
that Mr. Dodson's unselfish character
was well known th him.
"'No, no, Maria,' says he, 'a doctor
can do no. good to .me, I'm a tough

put a glass Of brandy in, his room,
and pleaded with him to ring the bell

power of mortal woman, and possibly
more than. could have been accomplish-

i" THE MCCERN FARMER, .
Certain rood elements. are. require .• The' • popular idea that • a farmer
ed. .to sustain life and retie* the: Works harder than men in other
various parts. If more food is giv-
en than ie required for this it is
stored up in the body for future
a8e or used in reproduction. • The
product of poultry is sinwly the
surplus food that has been well di-
gested and assimilated. The more
food the fowl can assimilate the
greater the product, if the right
materials are given. Food is made
up of carbonaceous, nitrogenous,
and m:nartil matter, besides tne
water it contain. Starch, fat and
eu.gar are carbonaceous foods. Lean
meat, white, of an egg, the curd of
mi.k and the gluten of graine are
food% •
classed among the nitrogenous
' The mineral matter is found in
the whey of milk, in bones, in• all
whale grains and usually in com-
binations with nitrogenous foods,
The digested carbonaceous material,
after passing into tbe b:ood
an animal, is used to produce heat
and force; it is oxygenized or gra-
dually burned and sustains activ-
ity and energy, If there is a, Sur-
plus it is stored up as fab and is
drawn upon when needed, when
the supply in the blood is deficient.
The nitrogenous material goes to
replace Worn out tissue, muscle,
etc., while the mineral • matter fur-
nishes the materials .for the bones
and to replace oeree waste, etc,
Fat and. mineral 'are also present
in muscle to a certain extent. Bone
and the tissues of the body 'contain
all of these elements to a certain
extent, but each predominates in the
parts mentioned.
Tbe carbonaceous material is to
the animal much like what coal is
to the locomotive. The nitrogen-
ous matter might be compared to
the steel aria iron of which the lo-
eomotive is made, and the nervous
system of the animal to the engin-
eer who starts' or stops the cosine
and controls it. It takes some octal
to get ' up steam and keep it up if
the locomotive does not move. It
takes much more to move a heavy
train, The wear and breakage due
to high speed requires more exten.
sive and frequent repairs of the lb-
coMOtItre MaChiriery. If the engin-
eer gets drunk or falls asleep, or
the animal's nervous system is not
sustained, something serious hap.
opus, If you pile coal into the en-
gine's boilers arid It stands on the
traek, there will be a blow off of
steam without any work being
done.
•This tvill continue as long as the
(nal and water supply holds out.
The engine's reserved supply of
carbon is be its tolder. That of
the animal in its fat. If we feed
