For while it is easy to get permission to
roam about the grounds of the castle,
this little garden is carefully shut olT
from visitors. A correspondent of un

fortune to p-t into the Swiss chalet,
which her majesty has made into a
family museum, and to walk ubout the
aisles of trees where each tree commem
orates tin episode in the history of the
royal house und recalls a day of happi
ness or sorrow.
A short distance from the entrance to
this private garden is u wooden play
house, built villi their own hands by
the I'rince of Wales nnd the Duke of
Edinburgh in 1S.17. The heir to the
crown lias missed his vocation. IIg
clearly had in him the making of a nota

In the little house tire preserved the
playthings of the royal children. Each
of the children had little carriages of liis
own, and all uro here preserved with the
initials of the owners' names upon them.
The Duke of Edinburgh was a jack of
nil trades. Ho was tt carpenter with his
older brother, a mason with his younger
brother, tho Duke of Connaiiglit. Tlw
miniature fortress they built together u
still preserved iu this same garden. K
is made of stone and brick, imd is nt
least strong enough to brave the seasons.
The priuceB worked under the eye of
their father, who was trying to tcacli
them the art of fortification.
This fortress lias undcrgono some as
saults. The Prince of Wules, bavin;;
his five sisters und tho youngest of his
brothers under his command, attacked
its garrison, the Dukes of Edinburgh nud
Connaught. Almost ulways the heir ap
parent carried the parapet und drove the
twodtikes into a casemate, where they
had plenty of arms ami whence hunger
alone could dislodge them.
Nowadays the children of tho Duchess
of Albany und of the Princess Beatrice
attack and defend the 1 rt which their
paretits, their uncles and their mints
have so often captured with great valor
after long and glorious sieges.
The day of her oldest daughter's wed
ding Victoria took u sprig of myrtle from
the bride's bouquet and planted it iu this
garden. It rooted itself so I'.nuly that
now it is grown into a great bush. Every
time one of tho grandchildren marries,
the myrtle bush at Osborne is called into
rcimisition.

Not far from the matrimonial bv.sh is
a row of Humming trees. In February,
every ini.inber of the royal family
planted a tree to perpetuate the memory
of the prince consort, who died in tho
December ja;t before. Of the tight
tices tliosfi of tho Prince of V.';;lc3 und
the Princess Alice have grown most

Two d.-eeies ago the Grand Duke
theater, or newsboys' playhouse, was one
of tile most famous institutions of this
i metropolis. Today the projector and
i nief maunder of this uniipie resort runs
an exppvs team from a stand in the New
; Bowery. His uame is Richard Burko.
i Dick Burke is aot a huge man phys-
, ically, but he is a person of ueute men-
' tal development, lie is, as were r.ll the
leading newsboy players connected with
' thi original (Iran 1 Duko theater, a typ
ical New Yorker. He was born in the
j "Fourt" ward, and he knows about every
inch of Manhattan island. Ilesold news
papers us early as he was able to walk,
' and there never was a thing in or about
New York that Dick didn't know.
j Now that all the boys of that time nro
grown to manhood, and many o' them
are linnly fixed iu the real tlie.ilricul
wi tl I, the story that Kichard Burke can
tell of the old days in the cellar ut .1
! Baxter street Ins a peculiar interest.
! That cellar was a spacious affair, ns cel
lars go nowadays, lr was entered by a
flat door, which opened from the street,
(hie dived down into this the.spiaii home
instead of climbing upward. The fur
nishings were primitive iu the extreme.
There was not even a raised stage. The
boy actors played their parts un the same
tl ior from which tho spectators up-
, pl.lildcd.
. About tho only nccessory that tho cel
lar boasted was a curtain of beJlickiug,
i which hid the players from the people.
There were about seven boys in the
original Grand Duke company, headed
i by Teddy Sullivan uud Dick Burko.
j They had no paid tutors. Schools of act
ing did not flourish then. As Burko ex
plains, "They went to tho real theater
I uud caught onto their pieces."
WllUili TllLV TLAYF.D.
j They played mainly negro sketches in
j that old cellar at the corner of Baxter '
, und Worth streets, and many of the :
j "kids" played better than they knew,
j for nearly all of them have since distin- I
I guished themselves before tho public on !
tlio professional stage. It was a time j
ripe lor such uu innovation. There was j
achivalric spirit abroad in the breasts ,
of the youth of the land which made
deeds of hemic strength and valor rank I
high. Neil Bunt line was recounting !
the deeds of Buffalo Bill in tiie New i
York Weekly. Leon Lewis was writing i
j ot the adventures or daring youths iu
I The Ledger. Everywhere bravery show
j ed its front. It was not unnatural, there
fore, that these New York iiewsboys
should strive to do uud dare for them
selves, and, adopting the buskin, dcavo
their owu career in the face of many dif-
l Acuities.
They were strong, healthy, nensible
boys, uud they knew that in minstrelsy
they had th-ir forte. That they did not
aspire to tiio higher distinction of play
ing Shakespearean parts only emphasizes
their good sense. So they played in
black faces, and those famous old titno
sketches, "Beasley'a Dog" and "The
Coming Man," ligured conspicuously iu
their repertory. Tho elite us well us the
j ragtag und bobtail of the towu dived
down into tho dingy cellar to witness
the unties of the merry lads. Tho Grand
I Duko Alexis, on his memorable visit to
; America, was a distinguished auditor
j one night. In fact, the theater ufterward
had its best known title from thisuugust
potentate, wiio smiled uud paid for his
fun ut the newsboys' theater,
There was one typical tpisode in the
career of this juvenile lyceuui to which
Mr. Lurke b; ill refers with pleasure.
, About the time that the hoys' theater
was in progress James Gordon Bennett
i was organizing souplious's throughout
the city. One night a swell party en
I tered the cellar. Among the visitors
j was Tony Pastor. Each person put
down u dollar for hi? entrance fco.
ACTING KOIt C'lIAKIiY.
I Tho sontihousH business was upper
! most in everybody's mind, urul Pastor
, had recently created a fund for its sup
j port. J. J. :.!c(Jlo:!;ey, the playwright
; uud then actor, was ono of the party.
; Wiiat di l ho do but spring up in tho
j middle of the performance und make r.
ringing speech calling upon those prcs
j cut to contribute to tiio soup fund,
j Dave Conroy, one of the boy players,
i leaped to his feet und declared that tlio
i Grand Duko comp-tny would give uu en-
terlaiumeut to help the cause. Others
of the boys seconded the motion, and it
was carried amid euthusiasix
On a later night a special programme
was urrauged, the souphouse benelit
was given nud $150 was realized, which
was handed over to Mr. Bennett. This
was ncoeedud by other entertainments
of a charitable nature, heartily entered
into by the Grand Dnke boys, nntil their
theater gained a wido reputation, not
only for its uniqueness, but for the prac
tical goo-1 it was doing. But ull tuis
couldu'i last. The boys grew to iiiuu
hood and tho things of the old time were
swept away. Teddy Sullivan wai

or four years ago. Two others of the

A TROUBLF-SC'V! TAME OSTP.iCH.
A rt Thai r.nrallT Maka llaotr a
Tvrrlbla Nulmmi tu Kvprylmilj,
When, as -meiimos hapix-ns, a mili
tary ostrich chick is reared at the house
it Ixvomes inconveniently tame. We
had one called Jackie, and it was often
a teiribb nuisance. All tie little darkies
about the place h id a liv.dy dread of
him. As they sat on t.ie ground at
meals with plates of boiled pumpkin
and rice iu their Lips Jackie would come
tip and, stretching bis suakelike neck
over their beads or under their arms,
would coolly help liiuihelf to the con
tents of one plate after another. Occa
sionally lie would make for the unhappy
youngsters in so menacing n manner us
to frighten theiii into dropping their
pl.ttes altogether; then, while his vic
tims ran away crying, he would squat
on bis heels and regale his enormous ap
petite at leisure.
But one day retribution came. Being
free to run into the kitchen simply be
eaiise no oiy could keep him out he was
not long iu observing that the pumpkin
and rice always came from ono particu
lar pot, and the ide suddenly occurring
to loin that be could do no better than
togo straight to the fountain head for
his favorite dish, ho walked up, full of
jovful anticip n ion, to tho lire where
this pot was boiling. The cook who,
ben.; mother to several of the illused
children, did not love Jackie offered
no friendly interference to save hi in
from his late, and plunging his bill into
tne pot, he greedily sconcd up, and
with the lightninglike rapidity of os
triches, tossed down his throat a big
mouthful of the boiling rice.
Then there was what boys would call a
"circus." Jackie began dancing around
the kitchen, writhing with agony, shak
ing his head nearly oil and twisting his
neck as if bent on tying it in a knot.
Finally he dashed wildly from the house,
and t lie last seen of him was a little cloud
of white dust vanishing on the horizon.
Ho returned a sadder und wiser bird,
mill it was long before he would venture
again inside the kitchen.
When about a year oil Jacklo was sold
to a fanner that hail long coveted him.
No doubt ho soon repented of his pur
chase. Tim bird was now now strong
enough to give a good hard kick that is
the way ostriches light and being a
more daring freebooter than ever, und
no respecter of persons, ho would march
up nud attack miy one he saw carrying
what Iu) thought might be food, endeav
oring, by a well aimed blow, to strike it
out i;f their hands; und he was goner- j
ully successful. ;
At List his master, tired of hearing
complaints ubout his conduct, ami impa-
tieut of his perpetual intrusion indoors,
tried putting him into a camp inclosed
by a wire fence. There, however, ho
obstinately refused to remain. As boo u
us he was put in ho would squat down, J
laying bis bead and neck on tho ground; ,
then, making himself as flat us possible, I
he would squirm out under the lowest j
wire of the fence.
But Jackie soon ceased from troubling.
His end, us may be imagined, was
brought about by no other cause than his
own moral obliquity. One day he wan-'
ilered down to the river where some K,,f-;
lir women were washing clothes, their
children, a group of little animated nude
bronzes, playing near thorn. One little
fellow, who was eating, was of course
instantly spied out by the greedy und
covetous Jackie. Tho marauder, how
ever, this timo paid the penalty of his
lawlessness, for iu rushing to kick the
little darky und thus capture tho food,
he fell down the rocky bank of tho river
and broko his leg. Then Jackie, like ull
other broken legged ostriches, hud to be
killed. Philadelphia Times.
The l'6 of tlin Voice.
Among the small things, ns generally
considered, but great ones us 1 look ut
them, i3 tho uho of the voice. Here is a
Etimple of a very common conversation,
such ns we hear in many homes: "Maria,
did you tell Tom to go for tho milk'"
"IIe!i?" "Did you tell Tom what I said?'
"What did you tell mo to tell him?" "To
go for the in ilk." No reply. Then comes
the question ngain, "Maria, will you tell
Hie If you sent Tolu!" "Yes. I did."
Hero is a great waste of both timo and
strength, ami generally of patience as
well. Tlio habit with many people is
very persistent not to answer directly,
but to tir.-t compel a repetition of a ques
tion or a remark. la the course of a
year such duplicate remarks, if put to
gether, would make a large volume.
The habit f1:ou! 1 bo formed of cartful
listening and direct responding. Some
persons respond indirectly in order to
gain time. They ure made cp with a
lack of straightforwardness. Tuc-yuevcr
wish to commit themselves promptly
but most persons who indulge tho kabit
nre simply heedless and indifferent to
others' rights. A few have preoccnised
minds, and a question has to be repeated
two or three times to get through the
circumambient meditation. Mary E.
