whom they have confidence. When
they select one of the boys, they will
not select him for his ability to talk

have little to say and some have a few
of these habits themselves, but they
are looKing lor dovs wno are as ne .r
gentlemen in every sense of the word
as they can find, and they are able to
give the character of every boy in

dies and when a boy applies for one of
these places and is refused, they may
not tell him the reason why they did
not want him, but the boy may depend
on it that he has been rated according
to his behavior. Boys cannot sfford

THE
Mary Spencer Warren has given
the readers of the magazine ' Quiver"
an article he. ded "The Qjeeu's San
days:" "I-i former years, it was customary
for her majesty to rise quite early on
Sunday morning as, in fact, she did
every day in the week. Of late years,
however, the seldom leaves her room
much before 10, at which hour break

family who may be there, a cup of tea
and a little toast having b-en previ

breakfast, Iho queen has a tour round
the grounds in her donkey carriage,
the donkey beirg the one that eho

lessons cf gospel of the dny, to occupy
about twenty minutes in delivery.
Questions of the clay aod above all pol
itics, must bo entirely excluded. A
celebrated divine broke this ru'e one
Sunday and preached a very strong
lit.irl ftfimon. but it was his last
opportunity the royal puipits have
neither of them been filled by him
aain. Wherever her mcjesty may be
it is now her invariable custom to
drive out in a pair-horse carriage on
Sunday afternoon. Dinner is subse
quently somewhat stately. Very often
the queen partakf-3 of it with only the
members of her own family present oi
any royal guest who may be stayicg
there, save and except the ctfieiatin
in attendance, generally receive uo in- j
vitation. As a rule other guests are
not asked. After dinner the q'ieen re
tires direct to her own special draw
ingroom, where, together with any of
her family who may bo present, she
will enjoy some music of tho old mas
ters, preferably IJeethooven and Men
delssohn. Tho queen herself often
takes part in duets with otic of her
daughters."
Iu 1009 Queen Victoria publishoo
'Ieaves from tho Journal of Our Jfis
in the Highlands," ji volume which
gives to its readers many pleasing
glimpses of tho happy days spent at
Balmoral with her husbard and fam
ily. "From a literary point of view,
says tho London Athenaeum, "ihero
la not much to say of the queen's
book. Its style is of tho simplest, and
it has the charm of naturalness which
belongs to simplicity. Tho story is
told without effort or affection of any
kind, and produces its effect entirely
by the force of sincerity. Tho senti
ment itself is always pure and often
elevated, is a reabon why these records
of homo life in tho royal ci'de will
find a respective echo."
We turn one leaf, and that ono is the
queen's description of "Tho Kirk:"
"We went to Kirk, as usual, at 12
o'clock. Tho 'service was performed
by the Rev. Norman McLcod, of Glas
gow, son of Dr. McLeod, and anything
finer I never heard. The sertron, en
tirely extempore, was quite admirable;
so simple, and yet s.o eloquent, and o
beautifully argued and put. Tho text
was from the account of the coming of
Nicodemus to Christ by night St
John, chapter 3. Mr. McLnod showed
in his sermon how wa all tried to
ploase self, and live for that, and in so
doing found no rost. Christ had come
not only to die for us, but to show how
we were to live. The second prayer
was very touching his allusions to us
were so simple, saying, after his men
tion of us, "bless their children.' It
gave me a lump in my throat, as also
when be prayed for 'tho dying, the
wounded, the widow and the orphans.'
Everyone camo back delighted, and
how satisfactory it is to coma back
from church with such feelings! Tbe
servants and tho highlanders all
were equally delighted."
To the writer of this column Eng
land' queen is the typo of a new era.
We call it tha "Victorian Era." She
was a woman shaped of God for the
time?, and brought in a new democracy
and toleration. In the new era there
was toleration In education, in religion
and politics, great things in science,
astronomy, geography, and especially
along material lines much has been
accomplished during her reign. Yet
in all this progress the spiritual ele
ment has been prominent. The opti
mistic of Browning and the sweet,
grand confidence of Tennyson showed
the great progressive spirit that had
run through this era lifting the soul of
man towards its creator. God.

Attorney Ueneml Smyth Brines Action
Against Three Kalliomls.
Attorney General Smyth has added
another big suit to tbe numerous ac
tions to which he has attached the
name of the state, says the State Jour
nal. Sime were dismissed by the at
torney general and taken into differ
ent courts. Only r cently he 6ued the
Standard Oil company and cow he has
a" tacked three railroads in Nebraska
under a provision of the maximum
rate law. He has commenced suit in
the Nebraska supreme court ajrainst
the Union Taciflc railway for $G:)7,000,
the Missouri Pacific for $433,000 and
the Ifcck Island for $310,000. He
brings tho action on the ground that
the maximum rate law applies to these
threo roads for the reason that they
were not parlies to the maximum rate
case. The present Union' Pacific com
pany was organized after the maxi
mum rate cise was tried. Attorneys
and others believe the suit is a retalia
tory measu-e adopted by the attorney
general because he has not had his
way in tho recent controversy over
ratr on live stock. The Burlington
road recently carried the live stock
rate case into tue ieuerai conn.
This action of the attorney general
may apain tie up the state board tf
transportation, so far as its recent
and prospective orders reducing
freight rates aro concerned, as the
fitrht may be on tho part of the-tate to
enforce the rates prescribed by the
act of 189J.
