Af'nr brrokfast . s he and one or more of the several ladles who may be staying in the house make an expedition to kennels, stable and poultry yard to feed and Interview the favorite dogs, horses and poul try of the establishment.

(t may be mentioned that the roy al servants' liveries have a quaint, old world appearance and are dif ferent in cut to those seen else where. The coals are scarlet, msde In the swallowtail style, with dark blue waistcoats edged by narow gold braid. The men wear no collars, but have gold stocks; and white sat in breeches and white allk stockings complete their stately costume. All the royal men servants are over six feet In height. The Queen Is an Indefatigable let ter writer. She has been known to write as many as forty letters In one day with her own hand; and Miss Knoliys, ber lady In waiting, often would get through a hundred, all written under the Queen's per sonal supervision. Queen Alexan dria's note paper Is cream colored anil rather rough with the royal crown and address In dark blue and of the simplest design. During the shooting season the Queen sen-is a great deal of game to her own particular friends, and the hampers are labelled "With the Queen's compliments." At Christ mas time she often presents her In timates with a signed photograph of herself In silver frame. Queen Alexandria Is a keen photographer and has transferred some of ber photographs onto china. A USEFVI. PIN'CL'SHIOJf. Fastens on Sewing Machine and Is at Hand When Needed.

"Our guides put up on to killikinnlck. and we smoked that for ten days. It wasn't bad. "Killikinnlck Is the inner bark of the red willow. You dry it, then you cut it up. It really tastes like to bacco. The Indians always use It when they can't get the real thing, and I understand that there are cer tain brands of Cauadian tobacco that are flavored with killikinnlck." Washington Times. Quite Probable. It Is evident that the young man who writes tb news Items In the Wll lowby Times wishes always to be on the safe side and exercise due cau tion in his statements.

IT THE IIB STATIC - Wlif the Prond Father Was Mistakes For One In Trouble. John Joggles la the happy father of thirteen youngsters, and ha la proud of them all. But being the psrent of such a large family has Its drawbacks, as John occasionally learns to his cost. The other day he decided to give them a little holiday, and, accom panied by Mrs. Joggles and the whole of his olive branches, he proceeded to the railway station. The proces sion seemed to Invoke merriment la all who witnessed It, and sundry re marks were directed to the proud parent, which only made him feel more proud. The porter's ejaculation on seeing the little gathering, however, quite hurt poor Joggles' feelings, and It was quite unintentional on the rail way man's part, too. "Hullo," he said critically, "what 'are you been doing?" Poor John stared vacantly, and etiswered, "Nothing! Why?" "Then," remarked the porter, "what's all this blooming crowd fol lerln' yer for?" The Retort Lethal. The eyes are the baseball umpire's staff of life. Of what use would his knowledge and honesty be unless he were absolutely certain of every play that he rules upon?

The Chicago pitcher sent over a wide one which John Judged would be a mere "ball" to help him on his way to first base; but the ball took a sudden Inshoot and barely cut the corner of the plate as John stood idle. "Str-r-rke one!" shouted the one and only Tim Hurst, who was um piring. "Strike?" shouted McGraw. "Strike? Why, you mush-beaded old blankety-b-i-i-x-z-z, you're losin' your lamps!" "Cut that out about the lamps!" was all Hurst said In reply. Harp er's Weekly. Too Good for This World. Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual-looking child, according to Suc cess. "Nurse," he said one day, leaving Ms blocks and laying bis hand gent ly on her knee, "nurse, la this Ood's day?" "No, dear," said his nurse, "this Is not Sunday. It is Thursday." "I'm so sorry." he said sadly, and went back to bis blocks. The next day and the next. In his serious manner, he asked the same question, and the nurse tearfully aald to the cook, "That child is too good for this world." On Sunday the question was re peated, and the nurse with a sob In her voice said, "Tea, Lambie. This la God's day." "Then where la the funny paper?" TOUCHED HIS DIGNITY.

One of the Chief Dangers of the Age Too Many Theories of Life The Food Faddist at Fault. By Roxanna Queen. - "That poor child was washed Into heaven," said a witty woman when hearing of the death of a friend's young daughter. "The mother was a believer in cleanliness and little Sussnne was the victim. "The youngster was always put In the tun morning, noon, and night, and many Is the day I've known ber to have four or five baths. She waa a peaky little thing, sick half tb time, but the doctors could not make ber mother realize that keeping the pores open did not mean an orgy of bathing." Th chief danger of the age Is overdoing. We have so many theo ries of life that often we are worse off than without any. An overdose benefit Is like an overcooked steak; the best Is lost. Few of ns realize the distinction between a good thing and a too good thing, which la one cause that we are becoming a people of hard-ridden fade. The woman who Is too fat la told to reduce. Now, reducing Is all light, but rapid flesh shedding Is a disease breeder. To reduce In mod oration Is well; to live for reducing Is a virtue overdone. Perhaps our fat friend la told to exercise. Does she go In for a brisk walk twice a day and gentle calis thenics morning and evening? Not she. She walks until she Is ready to drop with fatigue, and bends, turns snd twists like an aspiring contortionist until she loses her good looks snd good health alcng with her flesh. If dieting is the order aha draws no line between starving an J pru dent eating; wrinkles and dyspepsia follow. A lengthened waistline usually means a belt dropped almost to ber knees In front and a figure that is a caricature In Its shortness of legs. The food faddist Is In special need of learning that well done is not overdone. Who has not been pes tered with friends who, being told that the hot water cure Is the last thing In cure-alls, treat themselves like the tank of a locomotive, or who sneer at beef-eaters when they become nipped with vegetarianism. It is well to bring up children carefully, It Is overdoing to bring them up so carefully that their young Uvea are made miserable by rules and regulations, and they are robbed ot childhood's heritage of romping. The successes In life are not al ways the boys and girls whose par ents have advanced Ideas In child training. Perfection forced Into too close range has a way of getting distorted. A mother with ultra views of de corum waa horrified to see her 15-year-old daughter smoke a cigarette and dance a skirt dance for the amusement of her friends ths first time she went unchaperoned. The girl explained that waa like a der vish running amuck from an over dose of goodness. The sanitariums are full because women do not seem able to learn that to work Is well; to overwork Is nervous prostration. Tell an Indlscrlmlnatlng woman that the polite hostess Is never Inat tentive to ber guests, and that Is ths bouse where the guest feels like shrieking "For beaven's sske give me a minute alone!" There's noth ing more tiresome than overdone hospitality. The crank la usually the person who overrides a good lde. To make pleasant remarks means popularity; to always make pleasant remarks Is sychophancy or Insincer ity. Solid reading Is good; nsver to read anything in lighter vein Is to hsvs a brain with as few high lights aa a silhouette. To learn that well done la not overdone Is the surest safeguard against life's excesses. Moderstlon msy not be exciting, but it wears well. Queens Who Smoke. Somehow It seems unlmsglnable that Queen Alexandra or the German Lm press or the Queen of Rumania should have taken to the "cigarette habit," to which most of ths younger consorts of European rulers confess, fet Carmen Sylva Is on a list of "Queens who smoke" which bas Just been published, snd explains that she has never yet put a poetic thought Into writing without that beat of lerve soothers, the cigarette, be tween her tips. Ths Dowager Em press of Russia, Queen Amelia of Portugal and the Dowager Queen of Spain are also among the smokers, and, of the younger generation, the empress of Russia, who had never smoked a cigarette before her mar riage, la now probably the one whose dally allowance of cigarettes Is ths largest. But, then, "ladles' cigar ettes" In Russia are of the mildest kind almost as mild as chocolate Imitations. To Protect Hard Wood Floors.
