W. T. BULL, late Full-

writes: ‘
“NEW YORK, May to, 1895.
“ It was the result of a. wager with
a. friend which caused me to put on
my foot ball clothes 3 week ago and
begin kicking ‘drops’ and ‘pupts’
as though life held no other object.
Experience of years had taught me
that the cure outcome of so kicking
without the usual working up pro-
cess meant a. lame thigh—in short,
an induced inability to kick the ball
a foot on the morrow. My friend,
however, to decide a discussion as
to the merits of different liniments
and the like for strains, had induced
me to become the trial horse. After
kicking hard forahalf hour, I under-
went a deal of rubbing with SALVA-
csA. He contended that through
its powers to alleviate stiffness and
soreness, my ability to kick would
be unimpaired. I did not believe
him—yet lo and behold, the pungent
salve staved ofi every sign of lame-
ness and the next day I kicked With-
out the slightest fliscomfort. 'In
consequence I feel bound to admit
that SALVA-CEA is a little giant, and
a. necessity to every athlete as well
as an indispensable article in the
medicine chest of every household.”

QUEEN ONLY IN NAME
THE GOOD VICTORIA LIVES MOSTLY
IN SECLUSION.
She is Seventy-six. and the Climate of
England is Conducive to Rheumatic
Pains. That the Prince of Wales May
Become Regent is a Future Possibility.
For many years Victoria has ceased to
be more than a name and a memory to
the great mass of her people. Since the
death of her beloved friend and servant,
Beaconsfield, she has taken little or no
interest in public affairs. The jubilee
year, indeed, did rouse her to some lit-
tle social activity, and with it there came
something like a renaissance of the old
royalist spirit in Great Britain. But
that was soon followed by even closer
seclusion and a still further weakening
of the thread that binds the personality
of the sovereign to the lives of the
people.
To—day the Queen is almost an invalid.
Her rheumatism has grown upon her to
such a degree as to render a residence in
the wet, foggy and changeable climate
of England extremely undesirable. She
longs constaiitly for Italy, it is said,
where she has passed so many months
of peace and comfort of late years. She
cannot walk at all except with the sup-
port of a cane and an attendant, and in
England she cannot venture out during
the late autumn, the winter and the
spring months.
This confinement is extremely weari-
some and depressing to the Queen. She
no longer attempts to keep in touch with
the afieirs of state. She does not even
dictate the responses to personal letters,
which until recently she has always
dd’ne. Her secretaries write all her let-
tons for her, except those to her imme-
diate family, which are written by Prin-
cess Beatrice.
Ldved and revered in her own imme~
diate circle, gentle and considerate al-
ways to those about her, Victoria has
diifted a ' rt from the ideas, the aspira-
tions an endeavors of her people and
practically belongs to a past generation.
The political and social movements that
are dominant forces in the England of
tp-day neither disturb nor interest her.
Her days are given up to her family and
to the three delights of an old woman’s
lifevreligion, match making and the
society of her grandchildren. Her ap-
pearances at the royal social functions
are now increasingly rare and are made
great state occasions. .
Yet withal, the abdication of the
Queen is extremely improbable. It
would be without precedent, and, as far
as possible, the English do nothing of
this charadter without precedent. James .
I_.[. did, indeed, abandon the crown to
VYilliam of Orange, but from the mon-
arch?s point of view it was a case of ex-
ile and flight from armed rebellion rath—
er than of abdication. The mad and
mischievous old king, George III., yield-
ed the reins of power to the regency of
his infamous and worthless son, but that
was a case of absolute necessity, and the
king was still king in name.
There yet remains in England a pecu-
liar and intense veneration for the mon-
archy, which an abdication would tend
to greatly shock and disturb. Although
in the British theory of government the
monarchy is purely the creature of Par-
liament, it is not so in the minds and
hearts of the people.
Every foot of land surrounding the
home of ueen Victoria is historic. At
the foot 0 ' the hill lies the village where
Shakespeare firs’t met Mistress Davenant
and where the characters of Mistress
Page and Mistress Ford, of Justice Shal-
low‘ and Master Slender, of Fenton and
Sweet Anne Page, took shape in the
poet's brain. Back of the castle, with
its miles of open glade and dense wood-
land‘Etretches the historic park where
Falstaff was burned by the fairies—the
hunting ground of many generations of
English kings, and still the source of the
venison that furnishes the royal table.
A few miles below the park the Thames
divides at Magma Charts Island, and
there you may stand upon the very spot
where King John signed the first declara-
tion of independence, and under the very
tree, which tradition says is a scion of
the oak about which the barons were
gathered. Across the river from the
Castle is Eton, the mother of many n-
erations of illustrious Englishmenfer
walls scarred with immortal names,
carved by boyish hands for centuries——
Eton, upon whose playground W oiling-
ton testified that he got the training
which enabled him to beat Napoleon at
last.
Nor is Windsor itself less striking and
significant than its surroundings. The
great gmy towers which have seen many
a stubborn siege guard a treasure of
surpassing excellence and beauty. Frpm
the Waterloo room, with its great battle
painting and historic trophies, to the old
oak paneled banqueting hall, with the
arms of every knight of the Garter,
from King Edward’s time down to the
present, hung upon its walls; from this
old bod chambers, with their quaint
furniture and their portraits of Stuart,
’pu'inces and fine court ladies, by Lel'y
and Kneller, to the Splendid chapel of
St. George, with its noble monuments,
Windsor Castle, more than any other
spot, except Westminster Abbey, em”-
bodies thenational spirit of the English
people. ‘
Of course, the Queen occupies only a
comparatively small portion of the
present castle herself. Her private
apartments are in a wing, the ap-
proaches to which are guarded by sol-
“ diers, even when her Majesty is not in
the residence.
The Queen seldom enters the state
apartments now. When she receives
the Prime Minister or any member of
the royal family it is in her own room.
One of the very few occasions when the
grand staircase has been used of recent
years was when Gen. Grant and Mrs.
Grant visited the Queen at Windsor,
and her Majesty received them at the
head of the staircase. All presenta-
tions now are during the limited sea-
son when the Queen is at Buckingham
Palace.

A MODEL COTTAGE FOR $550.
Plans for the Erection of a Cheap and
Pretty Suburban Home.
(Copyright 1895 by the Co-operative Building
Plan Association.)
.r" It is one of the primary principles of
political economy that the happiness
and prosperity of a country is gauged
by the general thrift of the inhabitants,
and not by the abundance of the few.
That would be the model community in
which each head of the family owned,
in the derisive words of the British
statesman, “An acre and a cow,” even
if not a single individual had much
greater possession than that.
“Landlordism” is responsible for
much of the misery which exists in
cities. Happily there is a growing dis-
position in this country for wage earn-
ers to become householders. It is not
difficult for the laboring man and the
small artisan to render themselves in-
dependent of landlords. The suburbs of
our cities have abundant room for
growth, and the land is not all in the
possession of a few families. Every day
it is proven possible for a man with

shrewd management, prudence and a
little self-denial to build and own a
house for himself. with scarcely more
of a weekly outlay than he was called
upon to expend in rent. A dollar or
two more a month for a few years is not
difficult to manage, when it means in
the end such a neat and attractive home
as is pictured herewith, instead of a
mere memory of shelter and fat profits
in the pocket of a landlord.
This little cottage, which is capable
of various modifications to suit individ—
ual tastes, can be built, according to the
most careful and reliable estimates, for
3550. Its width, including bay, is 27
feet; depth. including veranda, 17 feet;
height of first story, 8 feet 6 inches;
second story, 8 feet.

may be divided in half with a smaller
bay Window in the front room, and the
back used as a dining-room, with open
fireplace which heats upstairs, econo-
mIizing the expenditure of the coal. A
few extra dollars will build a one-story
extension at the rear, used as a store-
house or woodshed, and in the summer
as a laundry when the heat of the kitch-
en range would be oppressive.
The finished neatness of this design,
its economical arrangement of rooms
and the low cost for which it can be
built, appeals directly to the mechanic
and the laboring man. Nor is it a hard
matter to figure how so small a sum
be made to represent :1 Weekly or
monthly payment scarcely in excess of
the rent of a room or two in the
crowded city tenement.
Ah Up-to-Date Donation Party.
The Rochester Herald says the Rev.
A. W. Hayes of Asbury Methodist
Church, is the happy owner of a brand
new bicycle. It was presented to him
the other night by the members of the
church. The young people and many of
the older members of the congregation
assembled in the church parlors it par
ticipate in a “poor man’s sooéal,”and in-
cidentally the' wheel was pushed out
from behind the curtains and given to
Mr. Hayes.
THE OLDEST WAR VETERAN.
Said to Be Israel Rickard, Who Matched
in a Decoration Day Parade.
Cortland N. Y., claims the honor of
having among its residents the oldest
veteran of the civil war. He is Israel
Rickard, a veteran of Company G, Seven-
ty-sixth‘ Regiment, New York State
Volunteers, and he fought as a private
all through the war, which began when
he was 60 years old. On last Decoration
day, despite the heat, he turned out for
the Cortland parade and marched with
as firm a step as the best of his fellow
veterans. It is probable that he was the
oldest marcher in any memorial day pa-
rade that took place this year in the
country.
On the last day of the year 1800 Israel
Rickard was born in a. town in northern
Massachusetts, and two years later his
father took him to Truxton, Cortland
county, 21. section of the country then al~
most a wilderness, in which bears and
panthers abounded.
The elder Rickard owned the only
team of horses for miles around, and on
one of these horses it was Israel’s proud
distinct-ion when be attained the age of
six years to ride to the mill carrying
bags of corn. The boy’s early life was
made up of a great deal of work and lit-
tle play, with hardly any time for school-
mg.
He became a farmer, and removed to
Cortland when a young man, settling .
down there with the intention of living
out his life on his farm. For many
years he lived quietly with no disturb-
ing element in the quiet routine of exist—
ence until the war broke out. At an
age when most men are beginning to
look forward to rest as the greatest of
all things to be desired, he caught the
martial fever and started fer the front.
He was, in spite of his sixty years, as
straight as an arrow and much more
powerful than the average man of half
his age.
His first work was to take charge of a
wagon train, his long familiarity with
horses having marked him as suitable for
this duty. But he wasn’t satisfied with
it. When his company went to the
front and the smell of powder reached
his nostrils he made his way to head-
quarters and secured an audience with
his commanding officer. '
“General, I want a gun,” he said.
“What do you want with a gun?” ask-
ed the officer. “You can’t drive horses
with a gun.”
“No; and you can’t shoot rebs with a
mule gad,” returned Israel. “I want to
do some shootin’.”
He got a gun a few days later and
proved himself a sharpshooter and an
excellent soldier. After the war was
over he returned to his farm, where he
has lived anything but a sedentary life
ever since. He is up with the lark and
hard at work all day. It is no unusual
thing for him to take a walk to Truxton
and back, a distance of nearly sixteen
miles.
This year he etpressed a. desire to
march in the Decoration Day parade.
When this came to the notice of the Pa-
rade Committee they sent a message to
Mr. Rickard, saying that they would be
glad to furnish a carriage for him, but
he wouldn’t have it.
“I’d sooner tramp,” said he. “I had
to in the war times when the roads were
harder than these, and I had more to
carry. Marchin’ with the boys will
make it seem more like a real celebra-
tion to me.”
So he turned out with the other vet-
erans, most of them two eneratigns
younger than himself, and specta-
tors cheered him as he passed. There is
but cue Him in Cortland county who is
Mr. Richard’s senior.
FRUIT PRESERVED IN BORAX.
Experiment that Have Given Surprising
Results.
Frank M. Smith, the borax kin be-
lieves that he has solved the pfglllem
of preserving fresh fruit so that‘i‘t can be
put on the Eastern market in a satisfac-
tory condition. For some time he h
been experimenting with box-an and tin
the ingredients of that salt adapted for
precluding vegetable decomposition.
The discovery is the result of a su
gestion made to Mr. Smith one day whiz
lunching with a friend. The gentleman
was discussing the success that had at-
tended the experiment of boraxing
fresh meat. when Mr. Smith was asked
why he had never tried preserving fruit
in the same way. He said that it had
never occurred to him, but that after
noon he gave the subject so much
thought that as soon as he returned to his
home in East Oakland be packed several
pounds of cherries in a box of powdered
borax.
This box was placed in the cellar and
along side of it was placed a large lass
dish filled with the same kind of uit.
Then he aWaited developments. The
next day he visited the cellar and found
that the cherries in the dish were begin-
ning to turn. In three days they Were
so decomposed that it was necessary to
throw them away.
In order to masks a good test he de-
termined notfito disturb the packed cher-
ries for three weeks. At the termina-
tion of that time the box fies opened and
the fruit was found as e'sh and in as
good a condition as when first placed
there. ‘
ML. ith was amazed, and he was
deligh ed over the result, and determined
to experiment on a larger scale. He had
a quantity of cherries packed in a barrel
of borax and sent to Chicago by slow
freight. He received a telegram a few
days ago saying that the fruit had ar-
rived in perfect condition and was
bringing surprisingly high prices. Since
then a number of barrels of cherries
have been packed in borax and are now
ready for shipment East.
