Tho Only Woman In the TVorld TVho Isn't Worried l)y the Universal Troblem Trained From Childhood to the Service Soino of Her Favorites. rcop.RrsroxDEJ.CE or the disp vtch.i London", Oct. 28. Queen Victoria, al though burdened with the cares and anxie ties involved by sovereignty over one of the greatest empires of the universe, is exempt irom all trouble and worry in connection with that blighting curse-on the existence of ordinary people, namely, the torment ing and everlasting servant problem. Her domestics and they are many in number may be described as perfection. Their fathers and their fathers' fathers before them have lived and died in the service of the royal family, and, brought up irom their earliest childhood in an atmosphere im pregnated with sentiments of discipline and loyalty, they posses infinitely more tact and a finer appreciation of the border line that separates obsequious servility irom manly, self-respecting devotion to their royal masters and mistresses, than do many courtiers, born and bred in more ex alted spheres of society. They are content with both the relatively moderate pay and the strict discipline, aware that alter a certain number of years service they not only receive pensions for the remainder of their days, but also a friendly care and helping hand in provid ing for the future of their children. Con trary to what might be imagined, the per quisites and "vails" of domestic servants in royal employ are very small, the late Prince Consort having some 40 years ago effected sweeping reforms in connection with the royal household which put a stop to such abuses. Ko servant, either of the Queen or o the Prince of Wales, has ever enjoyed so large an income as that footman of the Earl of 2sorthbrook, who some time ago testified under oath in a court of law that although his regular wages amounted to but 5300 annuallv, yet that he received Irom 52,000 to 52,500 more a year in the shape of tips from the Karl's guests, whom Le was called upon to valet during their stay at Stratton. The Man Who Manages the Horses. The Queen's chief or state coachman is a man or the name of Edwin Miller, who dur ing the earlier portion of his career was em ployed to assist in the care of 55 saddle horses kept for the use of the royal family. After the death of the Prince Consort he was transferred from Windsor to the royal etables at Buckingham Palace as one of the assistant coachmen. For nearly 12 years his duties consisted in driving the carriage of Colonel Sir Charles Maude, who bears the title of Crown Equerry and who has the direction not only of the entire royal stables, but also of the royal stud at Hampton Court Palace, where annual and very profitable sales are held of the Queen's yearlings. Subsequently he was entrusted with the charge ot breaking in all the young horses used for the Queen's carriage, and it is owing to his marvelous treatment of them that they are all so quiet and docile in their behavior, her Majesty having never been subjected to any kind of carnage accident throughout her long reign. Some four years ago he was pro moted to the post of principal state coach man, which he now holds. I may add, in connection with Mr. Miller's duties, that an important point in training the Queen's horses consists in making them accustomed to the sound of drums and bands of music. Doesn't Drive the Queen Often. It is only rarely that Mr. Miller has the opportunity ot driving the Queen, the last occasion having been at the time of her jubilee, for during her ordinary visit to London she usually goes about in a barouche drawn by four horses mounted by postil ions. These postilions on such occasions wear top boots, white leather breeches, black jacsets and hats. On state occasions, however, they don velvet caps, white wigs and cold embroidered scarlet jackets. The Queen's personal coachman, who drives her at Windsor, Balmoral and Osborne, and who likewise accompanies her curing ber annual visit to the Continent, is an elderly man of the name of Thomas Sands, and is a great favorite of her Majesty, in whose service he has been very long, indeed. The Queen is exceedingly kind and considerate to him, and greets him always with a friendly "Good dav." Fre quently, when the drives are long, the Queen "causes the oarriage to be stopped and the tea equipage, which she generally car ries about with her, to be extracted from the rumble. Tea is thereupon brewed by means of a spirit lamp, and in partaking of this gentle stimulant with her ladies in at tendance, the Queen does not forget her coachman, bnt invariably makes a point of pouring out a'cup for him too. On one oc casion, when her daughter, tne widowed Empress of Germany, was with her and at tempted to pour out the tea for the coach man herself, the Queen took the cup away from her under the pretext that she did not know "how Thomas liked to have his tea tugared and creamed," and fixed it for him herself. What a Salt or Livery Costs. The suits of state livery cost as much as (1,000, while those of the footman and of the subordinate coachman range from $500 to $700. They are rarely used except when drivinz the Prince of Wales or the Princess from Marlborough House to either St. James' Palace or Buckingham Palace for the purposes of holding levees and drawing rooms on behalf of the Queen. When these state liveries are renewed, however, the old garments become the perquisites of the wearers, who derive a considerable sum from the sale of the gold lace with which they are adorned. The Queen's footmen ere quite numerous and commence with wages amounting to 1350 a year, which in course of time rises to 5400 per annum, but no further. Out of this money they have to pay for their own washing. The royal footmen are, every one of them, over aix feet in height, and, ot course, clean shaven. When the Queen drives out one of these footmen is ordinarily seated in the rumble of the royal carriage, the other place being ocenpied'by Her Majesty's Scotch gillie, Francis Clarke, who has succeeded to the office held so mauy years by the celebrated John Brown. He. of course,! ii arrayed in full Highland garb, with kilt and plaid ot the royal Stuart tartan. Her Hindoos Have a Hard Time. Her Majesty has likewise a couple of Hindoo servants, gorgeously arrayed in picturesque Oriental costumes. These darkies are, however, a source of endless trouble and annoyance on account ot their queerprejudices with regard to the cooking ot their food, and are objects of general de testation to the entire royal household. I do not know what salarv Francis Clarke, the Queen's Highland gillie, now receives, but it is a fact that his predeces sor. John Brown, was paid at the rate of 51.500 a year, beside which he received an immense number of presents from his royal mistress, to whom he was accustomed to talk in the most free and unconstrained manner. His title used to be Page of the Presence, and it was he who practically controlled the access of every one to the Queen. He would permit no bne, not even Her Majes'y's own children, to enter their mother's presence without previously ha'v ing taktn her pleasure in the matter and obtained her consent thereto. On one mem orable occasion at Windsor, when the Queen's oldest daughter, the widowed Em press Frederick, at that time Crown Prin cess ot Germany, was about to pass into her mother s apartment unannounced, John Brown deliberately barred the way and de clined to allow her to enter until he had an nounced her beforehand. The Queen's perman Jaegers. Besides the Scotch, English and Indian male servants, the Queen has a counle of German attendants who go by the name of oaeger, and who attend Her Majesty wherever she goes. When in full dress thev are garbed in the most magnificent fashion plumed hat6. green coats with gold embroideries and a short sword, or rather hunting knife, the hilt of which is of gold-mounted buck horn. These Ger mau Jaegers are an institution that owes its origing to the Prince Consort; for in Germanv, not only every royal person age, bnt moreover every good nobleman or ambassador has his special body Jaeger. The Prince of Wales' Jaeger, for instance, invariably attends bis royal master to all the dinners at which the Prince may be present. He stands behind the Prince's chair, arrayed in a scarlet coat and the dishes with which the Prince is to be served are invariably handed to him to place belore his Royal Highness. None of the ordinary servants of the establishment is permitted to serve the Prince himself. The kindness and the consideration lav ished by the Queen upon her domestic ser- appetizing cakes at as many booths, and alter being tossed from the griddles by skillful white-capped cooks five feet in the air, to" fall upon shell-like plates of porcelain, have bean handed out to the waiting crowds, with maple syrup and silver forks. The virtues of clam broth, canned soups, beef extracts and all kinds of sterilized and fermented milk, have been shown in testing draughts of each, daintily served and cordially pressed. The pickle man, who stuck crisp little cucumbers on a toothpick for the ceaseless procession. thinks he has impaled and given away 20,000 of the toothsome delicacies, and the tomato catsup young woman lost count early in the month, of the Dumber of tiny bottles of the red compound she has passed to eager visi tors. There were biscuit booths and lard booths, salt booths and macaroni booths, baking powder, gelatine, flour, cereal and canned fruit booths; natives of Ceylon brewed and sold their tea in a gorgeous tropical booth; and downstairs there was an electric cream separator and a ton cheese. Fifty cents admitted vou to all these privi leges, and you carried away dollars' worth ot .samples. New York is dejected and for lorn that "Foodville" has ceased to be, and sighs for its permanent establishment, like the "Healtheries" of London. The nse of colored braids ii to be the win ter's novelty In embroidery. They are nar row, the widest being the width of a heavy soutache braid, from which they shade down to a width not exceeding the six teenth of an inch. Thev are used on linen for all sorts of tray cloths and doylies, and are effective as well on art cloths of silk and wool. Tho braid is sewed flat on the lines of the pattern with self-colored threads, and all open spaces are filled in witn jjrencn Knots or other embroidery stitches. The ethics of wedding gifts is being much better understood than formerly, with th result that brides of to-day do not find themselves loaded with 14 molasses jugs or 33 fish knives. A casual acquaintance, a man especially, going out to select a wed ding gift, resolutely turns his back upon anything of which only one is needed in a household. Choice outside such proscribed articles is not difficult in these days when things ancient and modern, common and cost ly, are valued as bric-a-brac At a wedding very recently of a bride, who will reside on a small estate near the city, a pair of old iron gates secured at a dismantled English place of former pretensions, delighted the It is a little odd how completely the hours of weddings and funerals have changed places. Time was when the even ing was the only correct hour to celebrate a full-dress wedding, such time, however, be ing now completely tabooed by fashion. Evenine funerals, which were unheard of a 'few years ago, are now common. The first oi these were received with something like horror, and the custom still prevails, chiefly in large cities, where it is olten demanded by the exigencies of business and widely separated residences. There is still, to many persons, an added touch of gruesome ness to a night funeral, and sunlight does seem more in keeping with the final touch of nature to which humanity must bend, than the artificial environment ot gas or A Gown of the Hour.

The The Direction of Burial. origin of the custom of burying Empire Cdlar. Marie Louise Collar. Menhisto Collar. yea Design in Muff. The most fashionable of the new collars are the Empire, the Mephisto, and the Marie Louise. Some very pretty ones can be made to brighten up an old garment that needs something to freshen it. A pretty Empire collar is made of wide lace scalloped at each side, caught down all around the neck Dy rose-colored ribbon knotted loosely at intervals; from each of the knots starts a small pink plume, each one standing up very straight. It narrows at the iront and closes in a pretty V. The Marie Lonise has a Medici collar over a plain standing one. The Medici should be finely embroidered on velvet, and have a band of fur below. The Mephisto has first a broad, long fur piece, lying flat; over it in front is laid a long point of passementerie; then a standing collar is added of passemen terie also.

The dead are buried so that when the time comes they may face the sun, which will wake them. Bats Eating Gooseberries.

Their names are frequently mentioned therein, together with homely little comments on their traits and character, and, indeed, one may gather from a perusal ot the volumes the impression that they play a far more im portant role than either statesmen, officials or couitiers in the Queen's life. For the names of such penonaeei as Sir Bobert Peel, Lord Beacontfield, Mr. Gladstone and Lord Palxnerston figure much more rarely in these descriptions by the Queen of her home life than the name, for instance, of her Highland servant, John Brown.

"Foodville," as New York's recent Food Exposition was jocularly termed, has been a paramount at traction of the city for a month past Even during the Columbian celebration of a fort night ago the pretty village of Dutch houses, Chinese pagodas, Swiss chalets and various other international architecture held its own with remarkable success. Every day Miss Parloa has given cooking demonstrations, and twice every day Seidl's Orchestra has discoursed sweet music from the gallery. But the chief attraction has been the food booths themselves. Ten chocolate booths,' differing in glory only as one starexceedeth another in the firmament, have i sheltered pretty girls in fanciinl costumes, and fur nished the daintiest of china and most sparkling of silver drinkable samples of their wares to' all who would receive the refreshment.

With the gamuts of gifts extending from ancient gates to old copper warming pans, now valued as bric-a-brac, it is certainly not necessary to duplicate. A final sug gestion is a word of caution. Taste in wedding gifts is not always present The more formal friends should offer'articles on adornment and decoration rather than of pronounced utility. Relatives and inti mates are of course not so restricted. Silver knitting balls to hold a ball of silk, are attached to silver chains, which are in turn fastened to wide rings of silver, which slip over the wrist One of the small amusements of this life is to watch the little waves of culture which invade circles aud communities from from time to time. Somebody ' discovers, for instance, that to "pay visits" and to have "maids" in her employ sounds better than to "make calls" or "keep girls," and she proceeds to air her new-found good ex pressions. Her neighbors and companions soon discover the change, and the entire set begins gradually to roll the morsels of ele gant English under its tongue with evident relish. Even more pronounced is the ripple which follows the plunge of some leader into hitherto unknown waters of rhetoric or syntax. With what an intonation of please-notice-hoir-very-correct-tbis-is do the modishlv proper phrases "don't yew," "would better," "everybody-he" and others glide out of mouths that have always "donchew-ed," "had-better-ed," and "everybody-they-ed" with equal gusto!

Fortunately for these people, solti white hands are out of fashion at present This is due to the fact thit tennis and row ing are equally disastrous. But at a "dinner party, for instance, one scarcely cares to draw off one's glove and display ten fingers many shades darker than the white gown ot the debutante who owns them. There are various easy aud efficacious ways of "bleach ing" them. If glycerine agrees with the skin it may be .freely rubbed upon the hands on going to bed, and then finely powdered starch dusted over them. A pair of gloves should be donned aud worn during tbe night The result, after several repetitions, will be a velvet-like smoothness and the removal of several shades of tan. Great care should be taken that the gloves worn are large, as otherwise this process will do more, harm than good. This is also an excellent remedy for chapped bands, and a little borax, or ammonia, or oatmeal should be used in the washbasin. Or, if glycerine is not soothing in its effects, some cold cream may be used with the starch. Or try this: Two oz. each of cologne and lemon juice and 6 oz. powdered brown Windsor soap mixed thor oughly together. Or, iy$ oz. lanolin in y drachm olive oil, 30 grains salol, 5 grains menthol. While damp, rub with powdered starch. A stick of celery rubbed oyer tbe hands will help to remove the odor left from peeling onions. Pumicestone is ex cellent for obstinate stain". Saltpetre rnbbed faithfully upon a wart will effectually remove it; or acetic acid carefully applied. After hand ling odorous substances, mustard water will cleanse the hands. The nails may be whitened by using sliced lemon on them at night, washing it off with warm water in the morning. A slice of lemon will remove stains from the hands, or salt and lemon juice. Make a pomade for the hands of a quarter ot a pound of white wax, one pint salad oil, the juice of two lemons, halt a pound of honey. Melt the wax and beat in the other ingredients. Apply at night and wear large gloves to bed. ln the morning wash off with water to which a little oatmeal or bran has been added. In the winter it is always well to prevent rough hands by washing them in nothing but castile soapsuds and then dust ing while damp with finely powdered starch. Glycerine diluted with milk or with rose water is very good, if good at all. Of course the nails should be kept in good condition. Everyone must own a manicure set nowadays, and everyone must use it, too. A venerable lady, now a resident of Har risburg, tell a new anecdote of the late President Lincoln: A serenade was prof fered him on, the occasion of his nomination to the Presidency, at which she was present as a neighbor in the town of Springfield. Directly after the music, the modest little parlor was packed full of people, while ono of the number, whose name is forgotten, read an elaborate speech of congratulation. The long, lank, ungainly figure of Lincoln Inrched to and fro belore the reader. When he finished there was a solemn pause. It was broken by the host He said: "You've got the biggest nose of any man in Illinoisl" "Which," says the narrator, quaintly, "completely upset the stillness of that assemblage." One of our belles who goes to the theater often has an interesting souvenir album. On one of the large pages is pasted her pro gram with the names of the party written at tbe bottom; opposite it is a photograph of one of the performance's stars, the pict ure having been unmounted. In some cases the actor's autograph is appended. A good soul who was entertaining board ers in the Chestnut Bidge wandered into the kitchen, one night last summer, and ac costed her daughter: "Mary," she exclaimed, "Ye jest oughter bear them folfcs go on, out there on th porch. Fust one'll call out, 'n' then another, 'O, look a' that sunset! Look a that sunset! An nothin but th' sun goin' down, jest like it always does!'' Once upon a time a society young woman was horrified at discovering a faint odor from her feet Afmost in tears, she con sulted a physician. In detailing her mis ery, she added plaintively: "And I am more than careful. I bathe my feet at least twice every day." "Then stop it," was the gruff retort "You're doing one of the worst things tor the disease. It is a dis ease, and a successive washing only serves to aggravate it" He followed up this dic tum with specific and herolo treatment which soon did away with the complaint In like evil case, ot coarse the best thing is to consult one's doctor without delay. But it is well to rub the flesh of the whole body after a bath with a cloth dipped in a little diluted benzoin. This imparts to the skin a delightful fresh, sweet smell, most wholesome and cleanly. The daily bath may suffice for the feet, but immersion in hot water is not only a sovereign remedy for a sprain or strain upon the ankle, but, likewise, for the ache that comes after un usual standing or walking. A little borax in the warm water also proves an invigora tor. . Our grandmothors used to declare they could tell a lady by the way she held her handkerchief.
