An elderly gentleman, who was an oye-witnes of the sceno he describes, tells an anasing stery of the childhood of Queen Victoria, who then lived at Ramsgate. Almost daily the Royal party came down to the sands Broadstare with the young princess, then about seven or eight years old.

The writerpells the story as an illustration of the enroťal restraint by which the Queen's character was formed.
A New Jersoy man has invented a steam biayale. The motion power is obtained from "gasolina," and usok machine is provided with a diminutive tank capable of holding a pint of the precious foil.

Apart from mankind in general, as often given to whistling. Saflors and shepherds are pro ficient in the musical packer. The solitary hill watchers of Scotland have produced proverbial whistlers which even the poeta bara deigned to notice, and in the long watches of the night poor Jack has amused himself by the shril? enuncia tion of "Fisher's Hornpipe."
Shakespeare says, "The seaman's whistle is a winsper in the carsut death aaheard," but this referred to Jack's efforte in a gale of wind.
