EPOCHS THAT HAVE MARKED THE
REIGN OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
The Good Queen Hus Seen Much of the
Progress of the World During the Sixty
Years She Has Occupied the Throne—
Other Long Reigns of European Rulers.
Sixty years is not the longest time
that any foreign sovereign of any
country has ever reigned, for, outside
England, instances are recorded of
even longer reigns than this. The
record shows a Hapsburg ruling the
German people from 1638 to 1703, or
65 years. That was Leopold I., who
succeeded his father and was suc-
ceeded by his son. Louis XIV. of
France (lid still better, holding his
own as the Grand Monarch from 1643
to 1715, or 72 years, while Louis XV.
was “well beloved” for 59 years.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
l‘hls picture of Great Britain’s Sovereign was
taken on July 26 last. as the Queen was
nearing the date on which her reign would
become the longest in English history.
In the year in which the young
Queen Victoria. was crowned, 1838,
the modern era of ocean steam travel
was marked by the steaming of the
Great \Vcstcrn to New York, and the
first telegraph line was built and op-
erated.
tem became a. popular institution by
the penny postage act of 18-10, the
year in which the queen was married;
Hong-Kong, the great English com-
mercial port, was taken from China,
and colonial government was estab-
lished in New Zealand in the year of
the Prince of ‘Wales’ birth, 1841. The
Queen saw Scotland for the first time
in 1812, and the income tax, now one
of the most perplexing and debatable
matters before Parliament
public of Great Britain, was reim-
posed.
It was in 1845 that polar explora-
tion, one of the most active and suc-
cessful scientific endeavors of the
century, marked a milestone in the
famous expedition of Franklin. The
repeal of the corn laws came the next
year, a famine compelling, after bit-
ter conflict and much disturbance of
ministries, the departure from Eng-
land‘s old policy of protection by im-
port duties, which is today deplored
by the majority of thinking English-
men. The famine of 1846 included
the potato rot in Ireland, which had
much to do with a revival of the vio-
lent agitation of the country which
has disturbed the peace for several
years; but Daniel O’Connell died in
1847, and that recrudescence of Irish
discontent sank into temporary obliv-
on amid the stirring events on the
Continent, the chief of which was the
French revolution of 18-18. and the re-
jection of the Orleanists. the estab-
lishment of the second republic un-
der Napoleon and his coup d’etat later
which founded‘ the second empire.
With these events was connected the
first international exhibition that was
ever held, in 1851, and in the same
year a tremendous stride in the wealth
of England was made by the discov-
ery of gold in Australia.
Then came the Crimean war, which,
in its results, laid the foundation for
the international machinations in the
East which are today bringing mat-
ters to so serious a. crisis that it is
. not impossible that the later years of
Victoria may be made memorable by
another great and bloody contest in
the disgraced domain of the Sultan.
At the heel of this came the Sepoy
mutiny and the terrible times in In-
dia, which led to that vast territory
being taken by the government out of
the hands of the old East India Com-
pany. The directors sat for the last
time on September 1, 1858.
Then Queensland was added to the
colonies, and more oppressive internal
duties were abolished, and, in 1860,
what had been done for Roman Cath-
olics was done for Jews, in the entire
removal of their disabilities. _
Queen .Victoria paid her first visit
to Ireland in 1861, and the Prince
Consort died the same year. Eng-
land’s connection with the American
rebellion was marked by the sailing
of the Alabama from the Mersey
in 1862. In 1867 the Dominion of
Canada was created as a Federation,
the second reform act was passed,
and'the $50,000,000 Abyssinian war
was fought. In the year following
stopped bywlaw, and then came the
Franco-German war and its results,
and the complete change in the status
of the Pope in Italy, and the Berlin
tablished, the first London School
Board met, the Queen was pro-
claimed Empress of India (1871) Eng-
diplOmacy, and, in 1881, Lord Bea-
consfield died.
The great Afghan war was ended,
and the still disputed occupancy of
Egypt began, in 1882. Troublous
times, chiefly diplomatic and Parlia-
mentary in their character, followed
until the Queen’s jubilee in 1887, and
the nearly ten years since have been
full of events still fresh in the public
mind, of which the solutions have not
vet been reached.

l‘hnso Who Played aJoke Upon the DIayor
\‘T ill Hardly Repeat It.
“Once in my experience,” said the
Montana man in a musing tone, ~-"I
Tan remember when it actually rained
logs. The shower did not last more
than five minutes, but they came very
lively while they were comine. The
way it came about was this:
“We thought we could play a joke
on the Mayor of the town in which I
lived. When I say we, I mean the
Board of Councilmen. The Mayor
had been heard to say that he wanted
a dog, and along this line we worked
our joke. We resolved ourselves into
a committee of the whole to hunt
down all the dogs in the town. There
were a good many dogs in this town,
a good many that seemed to be ‘their
own dogs,’ so we collected all of them
together, and placed them in the May-
or’s room one night. He was a. bach-
elor, and had chambers over the first
floor of the house which was known
as the Town Hall. The president of
the board and myself had collected
the dogs, and while the other Council—
men took the Mayor to help them
decorate the town a bright vermillion
hue we slipped the“. animals into his
room. We then joined the rest of the
Council. With due respect we all saw
the Mayor to his home at about 2:30
the next morning. The Mayor was
able to walk alone, if it was so late in
the morning; so, letting him go by
himself up the steps to his rooms, we
stood under the windows to watch
what would happen next. '
“Soon we heard a struggling sound,
then a door banged to. A light
showed in the windows. The win-
dows were thrown up with a crash.
Amid a chorus of. wild yelps and
muttered curses the shower of dogs
began. -
“Look out!” shouted the president
of the board, who was the first to get
control over his laughter as the
shower commenced slackening, ‘he
will begin to shoot!’
“The warning came none too soon,
nor scarcely soon enough. I thought
the next day, as I examined the bul-
let hole in my hat. There was a glit—
ter of bright steel in the window
above, and then that Gatling gun
sound which only a Montana. mom
can make a pistol produce.”
REVVARDED WITH PEANUTS.
A Saco “'onlan’s Offering to the Rescue!
of Her Son.
“During the twenty years I have
been coasting between Maine and the
Delaware Breakwater,” said Captain
Bellatty of the American schooner
Leonora, “it has been my privilege to
save a number of persons from
drowning. '
“I have never sought any other re-
ward than the approval of my own
conscience for what was common hu-
manity, but once I was forced to ac-
cept compensation for saving a life.
“I succeeded after a great deal of
difficulty in pulling a small boy out
of the harbor at Saco, Me, several
years ago. The boy was the son of a
widow who kept a peanut stand. I
took home the kid, who was as wet
as a seal.
“I explained to the widow how her
son in a few seconds more would have
been drowned. She was a woman
who looked at things in a practical
light, and wasted no time in the dis-
play of unnecessary emotion.
“Oh, sir,” she said, "he’s but a wild,
harum scarum broth of a boy, with-
out much sense but to run away every
blessed day.
warm his jacket well when you go.
You have been that obliging, sir, to
bring the boy home just when I need-
ed him to chop the wood that I must
reward you.’
“The widow then pressed me to ac-
cept a handful of peanuts from her
stock. I took the peanuts to save the
good woman’s feelings, and left her
cottage, from which before I had gone
far I heard wails of anguish as a slip-
per vigorously wielded warmcd the
bedraggled boy into a condition of in-
tense muscular contortion.”
The Dog Aided the Ben.
As the story goes, the mistress of
the dog is also a keeper of hens. One
of these was setting upon a “clutch”
of thirteen eggs, and Don, the black-
and-tan, soon became very curious to
know why she stayed in the barn so
closely.
The dog, as it appears, had former-
lv been given to teasing the hen,
snatching her food away from her,
and otherwise making himself a tor-
ment; but this intercourse had grade
ually turned into friendship, and the
two would sometimes be seen lying
and squatting side by side in the sun,
on a bit of carpet in the back porch.
During the three weeks that the
hen sat on her eggs Don used to pay
daily visits to the barn, and some-
times he would stay with her by the
half hour.
Then the chicks came out of their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn.
The next morning when the hen
stepped off the nest, and with a cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and
thither, picking up the tidbits which
the mother had uncovered.
“Good,” said Don to himself. “I
can help in this business,” and to the
terror of the chickens he ran in
among them and began turning up
the soil at a lively rate. Then he sat
down and waited.
The mother hen called back the
chicks to the newly scratched earth,
and soon they picked it clean. Then
the dog took another turn. And so
the geod work proceeded, to the great
delight of’ all. parties.

An Invention Adopted to Restore Beauty.
Of all heroic and agonizing devices
for dispersing the traces of age and
care, altogether the newest and most
extreme is the leather complexion
mask which is now in vogue in New
(York. The mask is an annihilator of
wrinkles, a restorer of fair and smooth
complexions, and altogether the most
extraordinary affair that has found
its way into a society woman’s bou
doir for'many a long day. '
Good results are assured by the del-
icate nicety with which the mask is
constructed. \Vhile the exterior is of
firm leather, the interior is of soft
white kid. It has itself no bumps or
imperfections, and its pressure upon
the skin is gentle and uniform. At
the same time it is unyielding, and
the wrinkle or furrow that could
withstand nightly contact with the
complexion mask for a month would
be a wrinkle of the utmost hardihood
and persistcncy. In a conflict be
tween a determined wrinkle and a
leather mask it is safe always to lay
one's wager on the mask.
Bleaching the Teeth. w
Now they bleach teeth. So there
is no reason why an otherwise pretty
girl's smile should not reveal a row
of pearls. Her teeth, however black,
may be bleached to perfect whiteness.
The stuff used to bleach is not in
the least injurious. It is called “py-
razonc.”
\Yicn a tooth is being
is treated to prevent any possible in-
jury to it. In some cases, where noth—
ing but a blackened stump remains of
a once pearly incisor, the stump is
first bleached. then a porcelain front
is deftly fitted to it. and the black is
built up with gold. Thus one may
have a, fine new tooth solidly set in
the jaw. and probably more perfect
than the original. Sometimes a whole
row of teeth are thus treated.

traordinary delicacy, which shears
down all the stronger and coarser

dyeing is skilfully managed to give
artificial gradations of golden brown

stage of manipulation is assisted by
electricity, really marvelous machin-

.the skin of the domestic rabbit can
be so treated.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Ithn clothing has acquired a close,
unpleasant odor from being packed
away where the air cannot reach it,
a few pieces of charcoal laid among
the folds will soon remove theodor.
In making a salad of fish, if you add
a little cucumber pickle, chopped very
fine, to the dish before the dressing is
poured over,‘ you will greatly improve
it.
When the whites of eggs are used,
and the yolks are not required at the
same time, drop the yolks into a small
cup or glass, cover the surface with a
little cold water and keep in a cool
place.
After ciderdown comforters have
been used for a time they lose their
lightness. Hang such comforters over
a line in a strong wind for a few hours
and give them a good beating with a
rattan. This will give them renewed
life.
In removing stains or grease spots
from delicate colored materials the
cleaning mixture should be applied in
a circle around the spot and should be
worked toward the centre. Then
sponge the place with a clean flannel
and rub until dry.
If whipped cream is wanted quickly,
and there is no whip churn, have the
cream very cold, and put it in a glass
fruit jar with an air-tight cover. Half
fill the jar with the cream, fasten the
cover tightly and shake the jar vigor-
ously.
To make one’s own extract of va-
nilla, secure five Tonquin beans and
one vanilla bean, clip them and put
them into a bottle with ten ounces of
alcohol, six ounces of water, and three
of sugar. ,Let the mixture remain
from six to eight weeks, shaking it
frequently; then strain and it is ready
to use.
An old—fashioned but a good way of
testing the heat of an oven for baking
cake is to put apiece of white paper on
the oven grate, close the door, and let
it remain five minutes. The paper will
be a light brown in color if the oven is
m‘oderMely hot, but if the paper is yel-
low the oven is cool. Most cakes re
quire a moderately hot oven, and some,
such as sponge cake or cake without
butter, require a cool oven at first.
Housekeepers desirous of making
their own baking powder can do so
with very little trouble. The follow-
ing formula is one that has been used.
for many years. Weigh six ounces of
flour and thoroughly dry it, without
browning it, in the oven. Procure six
ounces of the best soda. and thirteen
and one-half ounces of cream of tar-
tar. Add them to the dry flour and
rub together half a dozen times
through a sieve, then put them in air-
tight jars or cans and keep in a dark
closet, using the powder from a small
jar 80 that it will retain its strength.
