THE QUEEN "AT HOME."
A PLEASANT PICTURE OF THE DO
MESTIC LIFE OF HER MAJESTY.
Blnrles Characteristic of Die British

Relatlonalilp Puzzles.
Onco upon a time there was a charm
ing llttlo blonclo prlncees, with large blue
eyes and golden tresses, -who wos known
as Mayflower, becauso slio wag born it,
tliAt beautiful spring month, and her
father, holding her up before the lords
and ladles who hastened to seo tho baby,
said to them : "Look at her well, for sun"
will bo queen of England I " Tho spring
of tho year 1819 is far off now; tho May
rose has changed Into tho Christmas roso ;
tho llttlo princess has bocomo the doyenne
of tho sovereigns of Europe, and her
peoplo honor iu her half a century of
reign which, in tho words of the national
anthem, has been "happy and glorious,"
a-'l distinguished by her majesty's great
virtues and devotion to the public weal.
After being softened by tho joys and
griefs of her crowned romance, tho pub
lic venerates tho grandmother who, from
the throne, has mado tho nation admire
sentiments which are most dear to it.
The one placo where tho queen is never
to bo found Li her good town of London.
Whether it bo that Buckingham Palaco
is displeasing to her majesty (as it might
well be), or whether tho air and noise of
flio capital are injurious to her health,
ono thing is certain that sho avoids
London like the pestilence, leaving to
her charming daughter in law, tho Prin
cess of Wales, and to the extremely pop
ular heir apparent, tho duty of repre
senting her on nil official occasions. Since
Princess Beatrice's inarriago and espe
cially since tho extraordinary manifesta
tions which marked her jubilee, tho queen
has shown herself a little more to her
liege subjects.
There is also more animation in tho
palace. Her majesty has commanded
artistes to appear nt court, and has en
couraged her entourage to get up ama
teur theatricals. Tho fact is that
Princess Beatrico has married a Prince
Charming, from whom ono wishes to
banish all ennni, and, as ho can not bo
cent over to Germany to hunt" and shoot
every week, tho domestic hearth is mado
as attractive as possible. With tho ex
ception of a few weeks spent at somo
health resort tho queen divides her timo,
almost equally between Windsor, Os
borne, and Balmoral. Windsor, tho
immense fuedal palaco of William tho
Conqueror and Edward III, is tho actual
official residence of the queen, and never
lias monarch had a more stately home.
It is to Windsor that her majesty in
vites those whom sho wishes to entertain.
Tho invitations nro usually to dinner, tho
guests arriving at tho castlo in timo to
dress, and spending tho night at tho castle.
The queen's day begins n littlo later now
than formerly, the rheumatic affection
from which sho suffers having dimin
ished her strength, although sho still
works very Jiard. Rising between 8 and
9 o'clock sho breakfasts nlono iu her
apartment, but occasionally invites
Princess Beatrico or somo other member
of tho royal family. Often, in fine
weather, sho drives to Frogmore, and
whon it is warm enough sho breakfasts
in a tent erected in tho gardens. From
10 to 2 her majesty works. Ono of the
ministers is always at hand, but tho
queen seldom presides over a council,
except on somo very exceptional occa
Kion. Every day there are 20 or 80
packeta of dispatches for her majesty to
look tlirough. Everything comes under
her eyes. Princo Albert used to say tho
queen ought to bo tho best informed
personin tho realm. "Ministers go out
tho queen remains," said tho prince.
Her majesty has an ombarras do choix,
for of tho 60 children and grandchildren
that Providenco has granted her (with
out counting the fourth generation,
which treads upon the heels of tho others),
there remain 42. As, beside, tho queen
is allied more or less closely to all who
reign, havo reigned, or will reign in Eu
rope, ono willingly abstains from at
tempting to classify thoso related to her
majesty. For tho queen, howovcr, tho
disentangling process is a pastime; her
majesty nover gets confused over it and
good humoredly pretends to be surprised
that overybody is not so clover as her
self. After lunch there is n short walk,
and at 4 o'clock, no matter what tho
weather may be, tho queen goos for n
drive, generally accompanied by Piinccss
Beatrice, tho lady in waiting, and somo
other fair invitee. Dinner is at 9 o'clock.
Should a reigning princo bo present, tho
queen takes his arm; if not, sho walks
into tho dining room alone. Before her
majesty comes down, tho gentleman in
waiting acquaints nil tho inalo guests
with tho name of tho lady they are to
take in.
During the day there is complete lib
erty for all, yet there is nono of that
sociability which characterizes English
country houso lifo. Tho evening has
never been n timo of much gnyety nt the
palaco. Charles Oroville found it " deadly
dull." Tljo queen used to scat herself at
a largo round table and tho conversation
became mora or less animated. Now,
the queen goes from one to tho other,
addressing to each a few words nimables
et banalcs, and retires at 11 o'clock.
When only members of tho royal family
are present there is often music. Iiko
all her children, except tho Princo of
Wales, tho queen is an oxcelleut innsiciau
and sometimes sits down to the piano
with Princess Beatrice, or there will be
singing. Nature has endowed her maj
esty with a fine voice, not only for sing
ing, but for Bpeaking ; so that she is able to
givo a certain charm even to official doc
uments. Sho reads them as nobody else
can, although sho ingenuously confesses
that she doos so with four and trembling
and is quite content if she is able to say
she has not made a single mistake.

A Well of Fron Air.
Near Dayton, Ga., there is a well
locally known as tho " well of frozen air. "
In drilling tho well a stratum of frozen
clay and gravel was encountered at a
depth of 65 feet. After passing through
five feet of this numerous cavities were
encountered from which cold air came in
gusts. The escape of the air from the
well can be heard roaring for nearly 300
yards. The air which comes from the
bubterranean depths is so frigid that it is
not possible for any one to hold his liand
over tho opening for more than two
minutes without having it frozen. A
bucket of water set over the opening will
freeze through and through within a few
hours Itu needless to add that uik
was abaoluned on tho well whin tho
rjniina t "frozen uu " were tapped.

Owing to the complications of modern
lifo, and tho largo increase in the list of
creature comforts which polite people
havo come to regard as necessaries, mar
riage has become n vastly more serious
undertaking than it used to lie. and is
deferred until a later period of life,
People in cities who have been used to
wear good clothes, nnd to have servant
to wait on thein, nnd to go out of town
in summer, no longer marry when tho
girl is 18 aud the man 82. The man in
apt to be nesring 30 before his income,
will stand the matrimonial strain, and
fie lady Is proportionately experienced.
It would not be quite accurate to say
that, though it is harder to get married
than it was, it is as easy ns ever, to be
come engaged. That would not bo quite
true. The difficulty of getting income
enough to marry does defer, and oven
prevent, a groat many liotrothals; never
theless, engagements do often happen
when tho prospect of inarriago is remote
and a reasonable percentage of them lam
until inarriago ends them. Long en
gagements are not popular, but enough
of them are running to mako tho lie
havlor of their beneficiaries a lit subject
for comment in tho interest of human
happiness.
All the world loves a lover, but level's
mako a serious mistako when they pre
sumo too far en "tho strength of tho
world's regard for them. Tho polite
world loves its lovers oxactly bo long as
they are interesting nnd agreeable. When
they ceaso to be so its sentiments towurd
them take the form of anxiety to havo
them married, which may indeed bo so
oxtremo as to result in practical efforts
to put them in the way of pairing, but
which is more apt to tako tho form of
what is vulgarly known as tho cold
shoulder. Lovers who are intelligent
and who nro disposed to make thorn
Helves ngreeablo ought to bo exception
ally charming. They nro enveloped in a
pleasant blaze of sentiment which makes
them interesting. So long ns they are
nice, all kind peoplo nro in a conspiracy
to indulge them nnd mako them think
that life is lurid with roso tints.. Their
politeness is tho mora appreciated be
causo it is thought to involve especial
Belfsacrific, and whatever thoy do for the
community's amusement is rated nbove
its ordinary valuo becauso they have
dono it.
All tho worso, then, when lovers re
gard themselves as temporarily exempt
from tho ordinary obligations ol polite
ness, and abandon themselves to spoon
ing aud mutual nbsoii-.iou. Tho sort of
courtship that goes on for hours behind
closed doors, that insists upon seclusion
and resents a third person, that thinks
Hist of tho beloved object aud not at all
of any ono else this may do for a six
weeks' intermission between maidenhood
and marriago; but long engagements
should be conducted on radically differ
ent lines. Was there over n dearer sweet
heart than Lorna Doonc, whoso maidenly
reserve allowed John Ridel ono kiss a day,
and no spooning wliatover i And do you
remember Mary Garth, so truo to hernot

and strict with herself ? Engaged or not,
she must surely havo been a welcome

Tlio Rcene wnn a utronire one to tin-
familiar cyt'9 tills conllnjtoE a slilji Ivy
women. You will witnens St t St.
Tliomns nnd Kingston, Jamaica, to tlio
best advantage. Scarcely lintl the Al
liance's nose pointed around tho fort at
the entrance when numerous boate con
taining the "coal Indies" appeared np-
pronchinz the cool station, locnteu on nn
Island half tt mile from the town. Tho
ship was quickly laid alongside tho
wharf, nnd the Inking in of fuel com
menced. Tlio coal is piled on the slioro
n distance of 200 feet from the ship, and
150 strapping wenches lioro it to the man
hole of the hunkers on board. Each of
tho women carried on her head a cosrso
oplint basket containing 100 pounds of
coal. Their raiment was eovoroly slm
plo a cotton liodico and a sonnty skirt
drawn up to the kneos by n cord arounu
the thighs. Very black wcro the hmwtiy
legs which appeared below tho Evo-liko
dmpery, and largo and naturally formed
were the baro feet with their hard, yel
low soles.
Before tho work commenced tho dusky
Amaisons stood inn double row in front
of the beans of coal. They grinned lilto
oo many monkeys, and their jargon tho
strnoge, mongrel langlisli tlio Jamaica
nnd Barbadoos negroes utter poured
from their lips nbab-'of uncoutbsounds.
Startling wero somo of the jokes tlu-y
throw at ono another.
'Do vou sec that woman?" said tlio
agent, as he pointed toward a powerfully
built woman with n hard, shining black
fnco and grizzled wool. "That is old
Nancy. She is 8fi years old nnd is tho
fotllOBt mouthed wench in the "West In
dies. Every shipmaster who has salli'd
in these waters kriows her. Rho espe
cially interested Anthony Trollopo when
he came to inspect tho islands for tho
British covornmcnt. Frouile, tlio His
torian, noticed her. Sho can carry 400
baskets of coal a day.
A tall black man armed with a heavy
slick was master of ceremonies. When
nil was ready ho called: "Tako your
baskets, ladles." Each woman seized
her basket and turned toward tho coal
pile. "Ready," was tho verbal signal,
and qulcklv tho baskets wero filled witli
largo lumps and tlio dust of coal. After
ward thero was no cessation of tho toil.
Tlio women would swing tho heavy bas
ket to tho top of tho head witli a single
and apparently easy motion, resting tlio
bottom on a small mat of cloth which
fay on tho wool. Vovnx tho wharf they
trotted, somo bearing tho 100 pounds of
drad weight without supporting tlio bas
ket by a baud. Tho tough " Old Nancy, "
previously mentioned, drew her pipo
from the rags of her bodice, struck n
match, ignited it, and smoked after sho
had swung tlio basket of coal on her
head, and was jogging to tho ship. Tho
"ladies" hustled ono another in anything
but a ladybko manner. Tho moro acttvo
ones endeavored to got ahead of others
who wcro in their way as tho living
etroam of workers reached tho gang
plank. Tho women aro paid for each
basket of coal poured into tho bunkers,
As thoy pass n small building at tho head
of tho wharf with full baskets a cent is
handed to each of tho cariiers. Thero
aro somo women who can movo 400 bas
kets a day, or 20 tons of 2,000 pounds.
Others carry n less number of baskets,
aud as the gangplauk admits only threo
carriers abreast, tho slow ones Hamper
tho fast workers. Tlio latter endeavor to
get ahead. I saw a woman drop almost
to her knees on tho plank and, with bas
ket on head, seek to crawl under tho up
lifted arm of a tall wench m front.
Tlio master of ceremonies stood at tho
side of the gangplank with uplifted stick.
when ho detected any unfairness ho ex
claimed in warning tones, "Ladies!" Tho
offemio rcpeatejl led tondcprecating"OIi,
doant do so, dears, " Next came, "Oh,
Car'lino, doanf do dat." By this timo
patience was oxhausted, and a sharp call
to "Caroline," or to "Miss Clom,"orto
"you dar, nigger, " was followed by
tremendous whack of tho stick on tho
back or legs of tho offender, Tho 60und
of the blows would riso abovo the din of
tli- coaling. Tho victim would grin and
tho others would jeer at her, but no ono
appeared to rogard tho punishment uu
Lindly, or for that matter seriously.
Now and then the women would break
down, no doubt, from their ancestors
who roamed iu the Congo forests. AVild
