The simple little "madam" Is, as most people know,. alMhat serves between Victoria and h^r court to mark ' her dignity as the ruler of a world-, wide empire.'

Not every one is aware, how-< ever, that there are few other courts v/here this simplicity prevails.

The Em* peror 5f Austria is "eurer majestat" at all +1 ues aud uudc-r all ch-cumstances; th- 1'ing of Greece is' "votre majeste," French beidg('the court language, and the King of Sweden is "eis majestat." > Their royal contorts are. addressed with the same formality.

To the lips of a Russian peasant face to face with his sovereign the timehonored "little father," "little mother," would spriug, as would "exeellenza" to those of an Italian.

The esident surgeon at the Lady Havclock is a qualified Dutch burgher ?the first, and so far the only, woman'who has studied and taken her decree in Ceylon. The hospital stands in the centre of beautiful grounds, full of shady tropica1 trees and vivid flow- | ers, and contains ten wards built on the pavilion plan.

Line Between Sanity and Insanity Won't Bear Stretching. I learn that Mrs. Nettie Craven, of Ban Francisco, is insane. Mrs. Cr?*en is, the woman who sued the Fair estate^rbr a division of' the Fair millions on the ground that she was Senator .Fair's widows She .has kept the whole State of 'California tied up in a bard knot of incitement with charges and counter-Charges of perjury, bribery, forgery and every crime in the calendar except mayhem ".lid arson every since "Senator Fair die$. And now all the millions that she /thought were within her grasp have slippeu away, aud so she's insane. They've sent her to an asylum' and looked her up in a padded cell, and all California is drawing a long breath and saying, "There!" All of which lias a moral, and the ! moral is. Keep your temper. Poor Mrs. Craven's temper has been a by-word among all those who have known her fp- years. It is barely nossihlo. of cfrilr'sp. thr.f 1lir> tpmnor was a sypinApni of insanity, and not a diScasttJWiicli^ led to insanity. A cause Jjfth not. an-..effect is- always hard t$ tell where one thing begins and another ends in these eases. A bad temper is controllable. Let it go without controlling long enough and it controls you, and then you are booked for a, pleasant little term in a large house with grated windows. ' * The line between sanity and insanity won't bear much stretching. You can fool "\Vith it a long time, and some day?snap, it's gone! and the people jMn have tyrannized over begin to be .afraid of you, and they send ! for the insanity expyt. Ask any mental alienist in the world | where an evil temper leaves off and insanity begins, and he will shake his head and tell you to ask him something easy. A noted nerve specialist | told me one day that nine out of ten j vi. me piiiiums ju jjis asyuim couia' be sane to-day if they had been taught self-control. >' It's rather good fun to lose your temper and call names and smash things. >i V People look so nicc and s^^%antf tfyey hurry and do what you wont, them ,to so obediently, but so^ie day you'll lose your temper where you ,i capt,never find if apin, and then you'rfc. what the yworli calls insane.
