Fortunately for the owner of tbe hotel, they"! have not always '' HveA there. If they had, the owner of the hotel would not be the rich mar. he is to-day. The Princess is said to have been born near Alexandria, in Egypt, and the planet that presided at the time must have been conducive to a good appetite. She would make the manufacturer of a patent stomacu bitters or blood purifier dance with delight, such an appetite has my Marj'Ann. Her husband, who by courtesy should to 'called thePriace, is a little between Ea&ratjTO ONE THING. We earnestly entreat every young man. after he has chosen his vocation, to stick to it. Don't leavo it because hardbl,ows are to be struck or dis agreeable work performed.

Living lo a pretty cottage iu the west end of Cincinnat is an intelligent En4 lish woman who once held a position iu the household of Queien Victo.la at Windsttt Castle. Her fatlr wa a gardener at the Canle, and when she was about IG she was ta ten in as a gee eral utility maid, her duties requitiu her to so to all parts of the Castle. She is now happily married and a few. dys ago gave to a News-Journal reporter a pleasant accouut of tho Queen's home life. ' . : . ..; Did the Qaeeu ever corue Intolhe kitchen, like the ladies of lesser degree arc supposed to dor asked the reporter. Of course she did,' was the reply, 'and she enioved It too. Why, I've Been her Majesty take the rolling piu out of the pastry cook's hands and roll a piece ot pie crust out until it was just the rijht thickness.' 'So the Queen eaU pli, does she ?' I've seeu her mnke a pie and I've seen ber eat Ler share o one. She has a good appetite and a good digestion, and pie never hurts her a t all.' It is said she loves roasted apples, Is it So?' 4Ye3, I've seen her take in her own hands a dish of nicely browned apples and carry Ihem to her room to eat at ber lfcisure.' - VVhec she used to be in the kitchen did she seem interested in the.tvork V 'Very much. Why, one day she, came In dressed in a plain black drefs, A-ith a great big while apron on, atd she made a cake aud fixed up a whole lot ol other dishes. She rolled up her sleeves aud went at her work as f she was et tlug 2 a week and her toard and lodg ing for it. She was al vnys nice and kind to us, too, aud talked jutt like some American ladies ialk;; uot at all like some others talk when they get mad.' 'Didn't Victoria ever ;ct augry?' 'Not very. I've heard her say 'Zounds!' some times whpn ahn nut hpr Anger on the hot stove or eomethinir like.fuculy awoke, aud prku( up as if u H ro that, and once ishe told me iff didn't, keep my face clean she would have one i - of the gardeners turu the hose ou me.' 'Would she talk to the servant freely?', 'Yes, sir, like any other lady. She used to ak us about our (homes aud our families, and all that, but she wouldn't let us talk auy gossip, can ladies do. She was i . ike the Atoeri- very quiet and gentle while I was at the Castle, but I heard she is not so now. She Is getting frelty old, and old folks are all more or ess crauky. 'How did the folks liv j at Windsor? Of course, there are always lots of visit ors and the roval household is large, but tho Queen steps off to her immediate family, and tbey read and talk and play whist or ting. Ordiuaiily she jcoes to bed at 10 or, 11 o'clock, and rises about 8. A family breakfast is laid at about 9, lunch at 1:30 and dinaer at 7. The breakfast and lunch are plain and with out any extras, but the dinner is quite elaborate, and there is (always, some extra guests. The Queen likes nice roats beef, according to 'tradition, aud prefers a nice, liht soda biscuit to any other kind of bread. She is fond of Kentucky com bread also, which she can make herself by a recipe fjund In an American cook book. She doesn't ad mire French dishes, and I haf e heard her say it was not riijht for EaHsh s peaking people to print bills of faro io French. She seldom drmks coflee Tea is her favorite beverage, (and It makes her have neuralga, I'm ture.' v Does she have neuralgia ? Yes, sometimes. I've heard her complain on several occasions, and once 1 took a bottle of arnica to ber room.? 'Did she haye a nice room g IJot very. It was big and bad mice windows, but it was not like a Queen's bedchamber. The bedstead was one of those old cirved ones, (very ancient, with a canopy, a vaHance!, and all that kind ol thing. The covering wa of silk and worsted, and the quilts she and the Princcsj Beatrice had made with their owu hands. They were) very pretty, see in poorer the needle. but no nicer than lots youi people bouses." "So tbe Queen haodUs too?' "Oh, yes. She Is quite handy with it, aud htr daughter a embroidery work takes the pru.es when ou exhibition.
