The lord steward is at the bead of all with a salary of 910,000 a year. All oflicers aud survants, except those oonneoted with the Queen's chamber, stable and chapel, arc subject to his orders. Tho active duties of this officer are performed by the master of the household, who ^ets $5,7'JO a year. Tho lord treasurer ranks next to the lord steward and acts for bin* in case he is absent, while to assist bim he has the comptroller of tho household, who likewise does uothin^. The board of green cloth, composed of the four above named officials, adjudicate on offences oommitted in certain parks of the palace, and has clerks and secretary. The clerk of the kitchen and bis clerks keep accounts, check goods, and give orders to traduspeople. There is a chief aud many cooks, a head of the confectionery department, ot tho " ower " or linen department, a chief but- ler, table deckers, men in chari{e of the plate, pantry and of the coal, and lamp fighters and dispensers of alms. The lord steward is judge of the court of marshalsea, with power to dispense justice among the Queen's domestic servants, and the court has a knight marshal. The lord chamberlain gets $10,000 a year and, with the vice chamberlain, superintends all the officers and servants of the Queen's cham- bers, except the bed chambers, theeu being under the groom of the state, as well as the ollieers ot the wardrobe. The keeper ot Her Majesty's privy purse is hoc tinancial secretary at a salary of 910,000. There arc the mistress of the robes, the groom of the robes, ladies of the bed cham- bar, maids of honor, bed chamber women, lords in waiting, groon\s in waiting, gentle- men ushers of tho privy chamber, daily waiters, (luarterly waiters, grooms of the privy chambers, yrooraa of the great chamber, and gentlemen of the privy chamber. Tlio marshal of ceremonies must havo an absolute knowledge of court etiquette. The official places of many of them call for no portorrnanoe of duty, because with the chango o( customs the duties have boconio obaoloto. The raasterof the tennis court does nothing. There are a master of the housp, burgomaster, keeper of the swans, and hundreds of assistants to tho officers mentioned. All this looks like keepin'^ house under ditliouhies, says a writer in "Good Housekeeping," and Qao3U Vi'jtorin ought to be well paid for it. A BABY INCUBATOR. Th« FIrat Patient Dolus Kamarkably Well â€" Fear of a Keiapiie. Ward's Island was shaken from centre to circumference yesterday afternoon. It was not an earthquake, but for practical effect it might as well have been. The centre of the catastropne was the Emigrant Hospital. In one of the rooms stood a solid-looking box three feut i>i)uare and four feet deep. It had a lid, nod iu the lid was set a large pane of glass. A tine- looking man, evidently a physician, was gaining through the glass with intense anxiety, amounting fairly to agony, depicted ou bis face. Ho stood motionless. The box was perforated at the top with bolus, and warm air, 75 degrees by tho thermometer, per- colated through them. The box was divided into two parts by a horizontal partition. Below the partition was a square sheut- iron box tilled with water. Two tubes en- tered tho small tank from the side. They connected with a cylindrical tin box under which stood a spirit lamp. The lamp heated the water in the cylinder and the hot water r%n through the upper tube into the sheet-iron tank and the colder water in the bottom oF the tank ran out into the cylinder and thus kept up a circulation of warm water into the tank. The heat from the water rose into the upper compartment of the sijuare box and thus kept up an equable temperature ot 75 degrees. On the partition dividing the large box was a miuiatare bed, soft and comfortable. And on the bed Uy a minute human being 11 inches long, with a girth of 12 inches, a head as Urge an a oat's of meiium size and feet and aukles small in proportion. This was a baby, and thti man gazing at tbu baby was Dr. A II. Thomas. '• Only a.sleep, after all," he tinally exclaimed, as he broke the »ilenae and heaved a sigh of relief. " 1 really feared she was having a relapse." The baby waa Edith Kleanor HcLean, and she was burn early iu SeptembHr last. Her mother, AgoesMcLean, came to the city from Cilasgow late in August ; waa so ill that she bad to be taken tu the Emigrant Hospital, and there gave birth to the baby, which at that time weighed but two pounds seven ounces, was a foot long and hardly three inches in diameter at tho waist. It was thought that the manikin could not live, but Dr. Thomas, who had taken a special interest in such minute mortals, and who had already bad a " hatching cradle," as he calls it, put into process of manufacture, had utilized this means of incubation, aa it were, to sustain the life of the child by a proper temperature and gradually lead it on to assimilated vitality. The bo.\, with its two compartments, with its cylinder attachment, spirit lamp aud hot water, was the invention of Professor Tarnier, of Paris, whcsa plan of saving such weaklings as little Edith Dr. Thomas had resolved tu give a trial. The tempera- ture at tin-t was '10 degrees, now reduced to 7o degrees. The spirit lamp got away with the degrees for a moment yesterday, and a rumor is current that the upheaval on Ward's Island was due to Dr. Thomas' momentary fear that the natural sleep of his charge waa a dangerous lethargy. â€" -Veif York PTfs$. SIONIFXCANT FLOWKKS. Freuch Women Trtiubleil About BouquetH They Carry. Parisian dames and damsels have been rather e.iercisod in their minds of late by an important dilliculty iu the matter of the tlowers with which they either adorn themselves or carry as bouquets, says a correspondent. Fashion has decreed that during the ensuing season tlowers will bo more <i la mode than ever. These innocent ornaments, either in their natural state or as imitated from nature's handiwork by the adroit and artistic fabricator of arti- ticial blooms and sprays who abounds iu the city on tho Seine, have of late attained an alarming political symbolism and sig- niticance. The old conventional " lan- guage of dowers " seems to have had its day, and a new treatise ir dictionary on the verbal meaning of the product of the garden and conservatory will soon have to be compiled. Quelles tleurs porter? "What llowers are we to wear ?" is now the ijuestion asked by many I'aris- iennes of theia friends, their milliners, of their favorite artists. The violet has long been the symbol of the Imperialists ; the carnation is the emblem ot M. Uoulangor, and tho cornllower is the now Prussian kaiserblnme, more correctly kornblume. The rose has been adopted by the Com- tesse do Paris, while difficulties have ever arisen here regarding tho trefoil, which reminds people of the Irish shamrock and tho moonlighters; and finally the prim- rose, wbioh is the emblem of another league. Tbe latest solution of the great doral difficulty has been olfered by a prac- tical lady who advises people to patronize no particular flower, but to carry bouc|uets composed of heterogeneous horticultural specimens â€" a proceeding which would obviate political or diplomatic contlicts.

Then with uu inimitable flourish uf a red and yellow bandana the oratorical effort is complete. But to be properly appreciated it must bo seen. What will happen next .' We are now assured by a medical authority that " plain living" is a fallacy. It ia asserted that the stomach never performs its duty au effectually as when called tu act upon a variety of food, provided of courao that the food is well cooked. The popular opinion now ia that a dinner consisting of three or four varieties of solid food is moro eaBiIy digested than the meal which ia con- lined to one sort only. Tbe old-fashioned dinner ot a single joint and a simply made pudding is pronounci'd to ue a fruit- ful source of indigestion. On this subject Dr. George H. Taylor says in the Suniiurij F.ra: " Ueady-digoated and easily digested fooda are tho abominations of dietetics : thoy prevent normal iucitalion of tho digeative organs, necessary for normal secretions ; they encourage a false notion that nutrition can be absurud without reforenco to expenditure or to providing any use for nutritive material, and thus are liable to cause unnatural, irregular, unmanageable incroaae of tho unstable in- gredients of tho organism, which react injurioosly upon the digestive Bocretions, especially thoae of the livtr. > he prevalent recourae to these prcsuin.ibly enforced methods of nutrition are, in short, a violent aud abnormal reaction against the lornier prevalent reign of physic, depletoutti, and so-called alteratives. These old methods actually provide modes of di.ipusiug of unused nutritive auppliea, although they bo morbid modes. " Lookini; n OUt Home in the Sloutb.

But the Object of Bis Visit Waa Not t« Brlos Presenta. Gabriel Barton waa an editor. After years of patient toil and continuous aelf- denial he bad succeeded in amassing aa large a competency of boys and girls as you could expect to Und in a monoijamio com- munity. Yet Gabriel waa not content. Instead of being thankful for the blessingB with which his family board was surrounded three times a day, he pined for other boons which he did not possess. He yearned ever for gold â€" that insiduoua canker that gnaws the Boul beyond reparation, and leaves a dark, indelible stain on the proudest escutcheons. " Gold, gold ! I must have gold '." he cried incessantly. Hia strange demeanor was the occasion of grievous perplexity to his wife, for Eatello Barton was a simple, unaffected woman, ill acijuainted wiih the aellish nature and ways of the i.-old world. " But why, dear husband," she asked, " why clamor for tho unattainable ? Be aatiiitied with what we haveâ€" 'tis humble, I know, but so long as our nine children are in good health, and so long aa the water tax ia not duo, we surely shall not perish. Prithee, be content." But alas, Estelle Barton's wise words weighed naught with Gabriel. (.Ceaselessly he yearned for debasing lucre, and his morbid appetite made liim thin and pale, and brought a faltering into his gait and a tremulousness into his voice. One bitter, cold Christmas eve little Eugenia Barton, the '.)- year old daughter, ana tho senior i:hild of the family, asked, pleadingly, " Papa, do you not know what day tomorrow ia '" Uazing into tho deptha of the child's in- nocent blue eyes, Mr. Barton said, " How came you to know, child, that my note fell due tomorrow ?" " Nay, papa, ' interposed Eugenia, " I did not know it. But surely yon cannot have forgotten it. To-morrow is Christmas â€" Christmas, papa I our gladdest, merriest day in all tho year !" A far-olT look came into Mr. Barton's lacklustre eyes. " Well?" he uttered, inquiringly. â-  Tell me, papa," oried Eugenia, " tell me will Santa Clans come this year ?" " I think I oau safely say that, unloas hu intenda to break his record, he will not, " replied Mr. Barton promptly. " Alas!" sighed Eugenia . and with this she hung her beantiful golden head. Mr. Barton regretted that he had cast a gloom over the child's hopes. He sougb to explain his seeming harshness. " Why should Santa Clans come ?" he asked, bitterly. ' Haven't tho neighbors got through lending us what we need? Where in all this great and heartless city can we expect to borrow anything to hang up ?!' " True," said Eugenia, " I had not thought of that. Forgive me, dear papa, if in my puerile heedlessness I have caused you pain." That night Eugenia sobbed herself to sleep on the eofa with a volume of old tiles tucked around her shivering form. How long she slept we will not presume to say. But the golden sunbeams of the early Christmas morn were dani:ing through tbe window frames and floating o'er the hard- wood floor when she awoke. A man stood before her a man clad in habiliments of fur. Eugenia uttered a cry of joy. " Santa Cluua ! ' she cried. The man smiled pleasantly with that part of his personality that was exposed to the rigorous temperature of tbe editor's home. "Oh, Santa Clans '"said Eugenia." I knew you would uome : we've been waiting for you year after year until the rest had given you up, but I â€" I knew you would como ! ' Again the exposed surface of the fur-clad stranger wrinkled into a smile. " Thank you for coming, ' continued Eugenia. " I knew that my faith in you would bo rewarded. So tell me, dear Santa Claus, what gifts â€" what wealth of beauteous things- have you brought to pour out into our grateful laps at last ? " The strange, furclad figure stood still a moment as if dazed : then drew a bit of coin from the mysterious depths of bis shaggy robe and tossed it to tbe anxious child. "There's a nickel for you, little 'un," ho said, as his tone betokened a kindly heart. " Bnt, bless you, I'm not Santa Claus. I'm ft constable '. " A SEAaOMABLB BST.

" Now prove to me that you are correct," " Got a calendar?" " No." " Well, never mind. I can prove the truth of my statement with or without an almanac." " Go ahead; I'm getting thirsty." " Well, my dear yonng friend," began the solemn man, " you see Christmas and Now Year's, which are only a week apart, occur in different years, and not on tbe same day of the week this year.
