VICTORIA AT HOME Something About the Inner Life of the English Court. The inner life of the court has little in itto tempt a Sybarite—simplicity, dutifulness, conscientious performance of work are its characteristics. At pine o'clock Her Majesty breakfasts alone, unless some of her children, grandchildren or personal friends are staying in the palace, and she is rarely without them. In summer, at Osborne, Windsor or Balmoral, this meal is gen- erally served out of doors, in some al- cove, tent or summer house, after which | ——Notions the Queen either drives in a small pony | Which embraces all the latest styles carriage, accompanied by one of the princesses, or she walks, attended by @ lady-in-waiting or maid of honor, with whom she converses with friendly ease, and followed by two Highland servants.and some favorite dogs. Luncheon is served at two o'clock, the convives being Her Majesty's fam- ily or royal guests. Until this hour, from her short after-breakfast exer- cise, the Queen is diligently occupied with official correspondence and busi- ness of various kinds. Long training Clothing, Gents ——Hats and Caps—— For cheap Goods call on the Pioneer Merchant atthe south-west corner —of the squareé=— has made her a politician ofno mean |T. Ls PETT YS, ability and breadth of view, her natu- ral common sense forming an admira- ble basis for such a superstructure. It assists, too, in enabling her to choose her friends well and wisely, though the court surroundings are not calcu- lated to help royal personages in form- ing a just judgment of character. Hu- man nature puts on a somewhat too angelic guise, where every thing may be won by amiability and nothing by the reverse. i Inthe mornings the maids of honor (they are nine in all) in waiting for the time are with the princesses read- ing or practicing on the piano, sing- ing or playing lawn tennis with them, as any young ladies, companions to- gether, might. The lady-in-waiting accompanies the Queen in her after- noon drives and visits, which are most frequently tothe poor and to humble workers, often to simple gentry or any one in trouble. Afterward this lady reads aloud to Her Majesty in her pri- vate sitting room. The royal dinner hour in 8:30, and that meal is shared by those of the royal family then residing with the Queen, by distinguished visitors and some of the household in rotation, viz.: fords and ladies-in-waiting, maids Of | .w._« honor, equerries and grooms-in-wait- ing, this latter official holding a con- siderably lower position than the equerry, though to the uninstructed it sounds like a distinction without a dif- ference. The Queen is a woman of strict business habits and steady applica- tion. The amount of correspondence she gets through is enormous. In the private portion of this correspondence Her Majesty is assisted by her private secretary, a lady-in-waiting and a maid of honor, especially the Dowager Marchioness of Ely, one of the ladies, who is a valued friend. When the court is at Windsor the members of the household in attend- ance are one lady-in-waiting (these ladies are always peeresses), two maids of honor, a lord-in-waiting, also the keeper of the privy purse, the private secretary, assistants in both depart- ments and the master of the house- hold. The attendance is the same at Osborne and Balmoral, with the ex- ception of the lord-in-waiting. To attend to Her Majesty’s toilet and wardrobe there are five maids, viz.; three dressers and two wardrobe women. The senior dresser, who has been many years with Her Majesty, is charged specially with the task of conveying orders to trades people— jewelers, drapers, dressmakers, etc.; one dresser and one wardrobe woman are in constant attendance on the Queen, taking alternate days. Dress is a matter in which, even in her young days, Mer Majesty does not appear to have taken much interest. At present her perpetual morning al- lows of no crude color combination. Some of us elders have a pleasant, if vague, recollection of Victoria Regina a good many years ago, say forty or forty-three, in avery simple and pe- coming bonnet tied beneath the chin, & wreath of wild roses under the brim, framing a sweet, kindly young face. Ah, me! sorrow and experience have writ their cruel marks on hers and ours since then.—Mrs. Alexander, in Philadelphia Times. Extension of the Metric System. Ata recent meeting of the French Academy ot Sciences, M. D. Malarce, speaking of the extension of the metric system of weights and measures, gave some interesting figures’ In 1887 the aggregate population of the countries in which the metric system was com- pulsory was over 306,000,000, be- ing an increase of 53,000,000 in ten years. In 1887, in countries with a pop- ulattonof close on 97,000,000, the use of the system was optional; and the coun- | tries where the metric system is le- | gally admitted in principle and par- tially applied (as in Russia, Turkey and British India), had in 1887 a pop- ulation of 395,000,000, being an in- | crease of 54,000,000 in ten years | The increase is due t6 the growth of | Population in the countries which had | already adopted the system and to ite | adoption by new countries. The sys- | tems of China, Japan and Mexico are | sag but not metric. The metric sy: is thus legally recognized by | 794,000,000 of people, and the ice | last-named countries have a popula- tion of about 474,000,000, so that only = ,000.000 of inhabitants of the world have systems which are i PETTYS & WELTON Staple:Fancy Groceries, Feed and Provisions of all Kinds.

The old story books made us be- ; lieve that on April 20, 1775, Israel Putnam was plowing in his field when a messenger arrived iu hot haste with the news of the battle of Lexington, and that the hero farm- er unyoked his oxen and left them to their fate, mounted a horse and was off to the north without so much as saying good-by to those of his house. And were we not brought up in the belief that this line, ‘*They left the ploughshares in the mold,’’ was inspired especially by his case? Have not we, all of us, ever since our childhood been familiar with pic- tures representing him plowing, clad in a frock as long as anight- gown, which no farmer could wear at any kind work without imminent and unescapably peril of being trip- ped up at every step he took to say nothing of turning a corner, when he would be indeed fortunate if he | did not find himself ploughshare? And to know after many years that there was no plow in the case —to find out that that, too, was a myth. It was, indeed, the day after the fight at Lexington, in the morning; and Israel Putnam his farm in Pomfret, Conn. But he was building a stone wall, with his hired man; and he had ona leather frock and apron—the frock must have been a short one; fancy one of under the that material coming to his heels. | He took off the apron, but did not | stop to change the check shirt he East Side Square.

Crisp Causes Things to | Become Sultry Beneath His Roof Tree. | Independence is interested over the wayward actions of Col. John T. Crisp, who having created trou- ble among those who wore the gray, by his attack on Jeff Davis, is now making things sultry in his home camp. There was a lively time in | the Crisp mansion at Independence last Saturday. Col. Crisp and fam- ily visited Kansas City to see the Priests of Pallas parade, and there- by hangs the sequel. gWith him was | During the parade she happened te meet ayoung man named Gosset, from Independeuce, and wandered jaway with him to view the sights. The next day the colonel heard the young man declare that he was in Mrs. Polk’s company for two hours during the parade dispite the colo- nel’s objections to his daughter’s abscence. Mrs. Polk is a young lady of 20 years who was married a year ago and whose husband, James Polk, left for the east four months back and has made his stay prolonged. Mrs. Polk is very pretty and much sought after, and the colonel has kept his watchful parental eye very closely upon her. When he heard the young man’s boast he became angry and multiplied his toddies considerably asthe day wore on. had worn in the field, and was off; He arrived at his home at a late without delay. He rode the same horse 100 milesin 18 hours, and reached Cambridge at sunrise the next morning.—From Wide Awake.

New York, Oct. 9.—The tramp steamship Wanderer arrived yester- day from Liverpool with un exper- jence on the ocean that is seldom equaled. Seven of the 17 days of the voyage were spent in fighting fire in the coal bunkers and a sim- ultaneous battle with the gales and high seas. The Wanderer is only a1,400 ton boat, and the winds shock her up so that the crew could not stand between decks. The ship was tossed about like a cork and the shaking up is probably what caused the fire in the coal bunkers. Water was turned in but wouldn't extin- guish it. As the sea was rough the men couldn’t work on the decks and concluded to pump water into the bunkers and draw coal from the bottom. It came out red hot and finally refused torun. The stokers were sent below, but they were brought up uaconscious. There were two explosions as a Krupp cannon, which resulted in some injuries to the officers andmen. Finally they succeeded in drowning out the fire and in reaching port.

Kokomo, Ind., Oct. 8.—The citi- zens of Jerome, 18 miles east of here arranged for a gas-well display last night. A 60-foot 4-inch pipe was laid from the well and to this was attached a 4-foot elbow vertically. When the torch was applied the pipe which projected upwards was push- ed over onto the ground and the pressure hurled the 70 feet of pipe around among the spectators. Most of the younger people in the crowd were able to make good their escape but several were caught. Chusa Warmon was literally roasted to death. John Hogue was so badly burned that he cannot recover. Hi- ram Overman was knocked down and sustained a fracture of the skull.

Francis has proved himself well-nigh omnipresent during the past week. On Monday last he. as president of the World’s committee, attended a meeting of the committee in St. Louis. On Tuesday he was at his desk in the executive office, with sleeves bared for a big day's work. There he remained steadily until late at night, when he took the train for Topeka, Kas., and, as the head of the delegation from Mis- souri, he attended and participated in the Deepwater convention during all of Wednesday and Wednesday night. On Thursday morning at 10:25 o'clock he arrived at St. Joseph and five minutes later was delivering the address of welcome to the World’s Fair convention of the Mis- sissippi valley. On Friday morning the governor was at the executive office again, and during the after- noon until midnighthe presided at the meeting of the State Bureau of Geology and Mines.
