QUEEX VIC'S SERVANTS.
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

toothpick for the ceaseless procession.

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.

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

are effective as well on art cloths of silk
and wool. Tho braid is sewed flat on the

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

a small estate near the city, a pair of old
iron gates secured at a dismantled English

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

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

that when the time comes they may face

impression that they play a far more im

names of such penonaeei as Sir Bobert

New York, Nov. 5. "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

other couple received at their marriage last
spring an early English door of oak, beau
tifully carved, that had crossed the sea from
its original setting.
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

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

modishlv proper phrases "don't yew,"

A COLUMN OF SMALL TALK.
f WRITTEN1 FOR THI DISPATCH. 1 V
It is almost Impossible for anyone doing
much housework to keep the hands soft and
white. 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.

Inrched to and fro belore the reader. When
he finished there was a solemn pause. It

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

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

then another, 'O, look a' that sunset! Look
a that sunset! An nothin but th' sun

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. .

The Cloak manufacturer of New York started in early to make up for a Big Fall and Winter Trade. Instead
of being entirely sold out by the month of August, the backwardness of the season, Presidental election, and other
causes unforeseen, have left all of them with enormously large stocks. In other words they got severely left
tersely, if not elegantly, put. The wealthy among them are clearing out stocks fast as they can at any price they
can get, while some of the weaker-kneed brethren, not able to stand the pressure, unfortunately, have had to suc
cumb entirely. Well, they're all after the men who have the wherewithal to pay spot cash for large lots. That
catches us every time. We're always ready for just such emergencies. Several extraordinary purchases of entire
Cloak stocks have found their way into our Mammoth Cloak Department, and Monday morning we'll lay out a
couple of entire stocks of Cloaks from two of the most prominent makers in America at less than half of their
present value. Such prices for good goods have never been dreamed of, far less quoted, before now. It'd ba
useless to name prices. A whole newspaper couldn't contain them, besides, prices on stocks like these wouldn't
convey half of an adequate idea of the values onered. But facts won't down. The eoods are rizht here. Buv
any garment of the entire lot, and if you can equal it for not nearly, but altogether twice, as much as you paid
us, return it and we'll cheerfully refund your money.
Remember, Monday Morning, bright and early. 8 o'clock sharp, this sale
of new, stylish, fresh, fashionable, seasonable garments for Ladies, Misses and
Children commences.
Our busy Millinery Department fairly bristling with all that is new, novel,
nobby, distinguished, aristocratic in headwear for Ladies, Misses and Children.'
And the prices for such goods, well, they're unobtainable anywhere else, but
getatable by all here.
