The party In cluded John Hay , the United States ambas sador , and his wUc and daughter ; Henry White , secretary of the United States cm- hassy ; J. It. Carter , second secretary of the embassy ; Lord Strathconc and Mount Royal of Canada ; Archdeacon Sinclair , Louis Astor Chanler end William Fulch , United States minister to Uruguay. The menu , which was especially designed for the occasion , was ornamented with American and British flags , and over the seat of the chairman was an enormous eagle. The list of toasts was long. The health of Qeen Victoria -was proposed by the chairman , who read a letter , dated Windsor Castle , from Sir Arthur John Ulggs , private secretary to her majesty , saying : QUEEN EXPRESSES THANKS. "The queen desires mo to beg that the American ambassador will be so good as to convey to the members of the American society In London the expression of her maj. esty'e eincere thanks for the beautifully Illuminated address of congratulations she received from that body. I have further to assure your excellency how deeply the queen was touched by the sentiments of sympathy with the enthusiasm of her own subjects on the sixtieth anniversary of her accession to the throne which was contained In this address from citizens of the United States. " Hen. Sir John Garell Barnes of the high court of justice proposed the health of Am bassador Hay , dwelling upon the great frlendllnew that ho believed Dxlsts between EngUnd and the United States , and saying : "If the two countries will only put their backs together they can rule the destines of the world. " Ambassador Hny responded with a bright speech. Ho sketched the origin of the day , which begau , ho said , "In that pathetic thank offering of our forefathers when they wore keeping alight the spark of freedom which was destined to kindle Into such a beacon blaze , enlightening and administering to the world. Some of our peculiar Institutions , " continued Mr. Hay. "thank heaven wo have lost. The worst paesed away In the tempest of the war It caused , but this , the most unquestionable peculiarity of all , we can trust to abide with us forever. This Is one of the few things wo can do that offends no body , threatens no one , and competes with no one. There can never bo too much grati tude In the world. Seventy millions of voices praising God together would not justify the addition of one Ironclad to any navy on earth. TALK OF LITTLE THINGS. "Tonight we can hardly bo said to be In n foreign land. A French statesman said the other day : 'Whore there Is one French man there Is France. ' We have 300 good American citizens hero tonight who believe wo are In America and may be pardoned for speaking of some little things that wo care about. " Mr. Hay then paid a tribute to the un known nameless artist , who In the days of early New England first brought to sight the "pumpkin pie. " IHo added the suggestion that the turkey should be the national em blem Instead of the'e'-gle , "who with aris tocratic profile , loud voice and predatory disposition , hardly commends himself as the emblem ot modest , ladustrous and consci entious democracy : -while the turkey , like a true altruist , exists only for the good of others and perishes by thousands yearly for the public welfare. " Continuing his speech , Air. Hay enumer ated the causes for thankfulness , and said : "We are thankful that we rpeak English , or , If our friends on this side of the ocean think that Is boasting , that we talk United States , which answers equally as well for telling the truth. " Mr. Hay , closing his reply , said : "The great body of the people of the two countries are friends. We are the fortunate heirs to English law and liberty , which both nations rerpect. " i Lord Strathcone and iMount Royal , responding spending to "Our Next Door Neighbors , " said that Canada , while loyal to the queen and to Great Britain , had the fullest feeling of friendship for the United States , and he was satisfied that If either country would get Into difficulties , the other would help Its neighbor. Archdeacon Sinclair proposed the toast. "The Ladled" whch > was responded to by Miss Genevleve Ward , the actress. DAY IS ALSO OIISKKVI2U IX IIKHLI.Y.

List Christmas there were seven. I had about made up my mind that the only real Amerlwns In Now York did not keep the holiday at all. .when , one Christmas eve. they showed me how. Just as dark was setting In old Sirs. Benott came from her Hudson street attic where she was known among the neighbors as old and poor as Mrs. Bcu Wah and be lieved to bo the relict of a warrior of the name of Benjamin Wah to the office ot the Charity Organlratlon society , with n bundle for a friend who had helped her over a rough spot the rent , I suppos ? . The bun dle was done up elaborately In blue chceso cloth , and contained a lot ot little garments which she had made out of the remnants of blankets and cloth of her own from a youngep arul better day. "For those , " she said , In her French patois , "who nro poorer than myself , " and nobbled away. I found out , a few days later , when I took her picture weaving mats In her attic room , that she bid scarcely food In the house that Christmas day , and not the carfare faro to take her to church. Walking was bad and her old limbs were stiff. She sab by the window through the winter evening and watched the sun go down behind the western hills , comforted by her pipe. Mrs. Ben Wah , to glvo her local name , Is not really an Indian , but her husband was one , and she lived all her llfo with the tribe till she came here. She Is a philosopher in her own quaint way. "It Is no disgrace to be poor , " said she to me , regarding her empty tobacco pouch ; "but It Is sometimes a great Inconvenience. " Not even the recol lection of the vote of censure that was passed upon mo once by the ladles ot the Charitable Ten for surreptitiously supplying an aged couple , the special object of their charity , with army plug , could hove deterred mo from' taking -the hint. SIXRS' OXI.Y IX I IKKSLEEP. . After Fifty Yrnrs Slip SliiK.t the Olil SniiK * . hut linen Not Hear Them. From away down the coast of Maine , where the mysterious tide ebbs and flows so h rcely , North Castlne. corned a story from a corre spondent strange and unaccountable. Ho writes to the Bangor Commercial thut Mrs. Lucretli M. Judson , the once favorite singer of Portland , has regained her sweet voice after neirly fifty years silence. Although she hears It not herself or knows why or when It Happens , except when told by others , her voice is the same and she sings the same old songs she used to charm the listeners with fifty years ago. In many parts of Maine Mrs. Judson was recognized In her early- days as possessing a sweet soprano voice , she was the recognized leader In that sectldn of the country and otten received Invltatldns to sing In the churches at Portland , Lewiston and Bangor. One day a few years after her marrlago her voice left her and slio seemed to lose all ear for music. Since tUat time she has never been known to sing , Many a time she has been heard to lament the loss of her voice , for aha loved music so well. A few weeks ago MISJ Judson came to visit a neighbor whllo a revival was In progress a few miles from her home. After bedtime Mrs. Lynch heard the sweetest song she over listened to. It was one. of the old love songs of her youth "I've Wandered Today to the Mill , " etc. She was charmed and surprised. The sound came fi'dm'Mrs. Judson's room. Next morning she a'slted : Mrs. Judson to sing the same song again.- She was astonished to hear the woman say , that she could not and had not sung for forty 'years or more. "Why. I heard you singing last night , said Mrs. Lynch. " ' " answered Mrs. Jud "Oh , no , you didn't , son. "If you did I must have been asleep , for I don't know a thing about It. " The next night she sang a verse of another of her favorite songs. She nsked Mrs. Lynch to call her If such a thing occurred again , for she did not believe It could be possible. While Mrs Judson was filling the night with ' song. Mrs. Lynch crept stealthily to her room. The woman was sitting up in bed , her eyes closed and was singing as If her whole soul was In her songMrs. . Lynch hadn't the heart to wake her up , anil listened with de light until she had finished a soft and beauti ful cadence. Next morning the woman went to her home at Plerce's Pond and her husband Is de lighted , for he says she sings nearly every night one of the old-time melodies. When awake the woman has no ear for music any more than If she had never been a singer. I1AWJ HEADS VINDICATED. Shining Domex Due to dinned Other thnii Enrly I'Icty. The microbe of common baldness has been discovered. This announcement Is made by Dr. E. Sabourand In a. very lengthy and technical article in the Antials do Derma- tolosie. the leading French periodical In this dpnartment of medical science. . Dr. Sabour- and states In the first place that common baldness calvltlo vulgalre , ho calls It is usually accompanied by oily seborrhoea. This Is an affection of the scalp In which there Is an excessive flow of sebum , an oily fluid designed to moisten the sca'-p. This sebor rhoea Is caused by a microbe , or , to be more technical , a micro-bacillus. Dr. Sabourand has observed that the colony of microbes Insinuates Itself In a fine stream Into the minute evening between the hair and the epidermis of the scalp. It causes an irritation , which Is shown by the forma tion of successive horny layers which encyst the microbe colony. This cyst does not sur round the hair , but presses against it lit erally. Then begins the proceas of Infection of the hair follicle , which Dr , Sabourand di vides Into four stages and describes minutely The flrst Is the excessive sebaceous secre tion. The excessive secretion Is soon fol lowed by glandular hypertrophy , or exces sive growth of the gland. In time new glandular lobulca fcrm and the gland be comes enormous. The ttlrd stage Is pro gressive decay of the infected hair follicle. A derangement of the coloring process of the hair takes place. Then the so-called medul lary cells cease to form , and the hair dimin ishes gradually In size. The fourth and lam stage of the Infection Is the complete death of the hair. Its hollow bulb Is filled up. It dies and Is eliminated , ! A treatment of two weeks will cure an acute form of seborrhooa , but It Is doubtful whether a permanent cure Is oosslblo. Dr. Sabourand recommends applying three times a week In the evening to the scalp a pomade containing sulphur , < ell of cade and yellow bloxldo. The following morning wash the head well and brusli with alcohol and ether In equal parts with per cent of resorcln. AN INCH OF IOM.

In this connection he will allude to the fact that the government Is losing large sums because there Is no way of protecting the timber from Indiscriminate use. Commissioner Hermann of the general land office has submitted information on this point to the president and has also taken occasion to recommend some radical changes in the laws relating to the permit system for cutting timber in other sections. At present largo companies and corpora tions are cutting timber under the permit system , supposedly for use in the mines , but the commissioner has information that trainload - load after trainload of lumber has been taken from the government forest , placed in the lumber yards in various cities and towns and never used for mining purposes at all. A better system of permits for cutting and Inspection of timber , not only for the min eral states of the west , but also for Alaska , has been recommended to the president and government ofilclals , who will endeavor to have legislation speedily enacted for the better protection of the forests.
