If any of my readers have visited Braemar, Ballater and Balinoral and driven about Deeside, they will more than understand ‘the love which Queen Victoria has for her home in the Highlands. The surrounding country is most beautiful, whether seen as Her Majesty has lately. seen it in leafy June, under the shadow cast by the great trees, with glad life. on every quavering branch and vernal. freshness in every trembling leaf; or, later on, in autumn, when patches of snow lie on the breasts. of the great Bens and a thousand rays sparkle from their granite eyes. Though the Queen is a member of the Church of England, she is‘also a. member and a communicant Of the Church of Scotland. The worship of that church is Presbyterian.. It is very; simple and plain, with little or no ritual. Till quite lately the wor- shippers in the parish church at Cra- thie, which the Queen has attended ever since she came to the High- lands, sat when they sang and stood when they prayed, or, rather, when the minister said prayers in their hearing without any book. The serâ€" mon was the principal feature in the service. and the collection was taken in silence, unbroken save by the jingle of the silver and the rat- tle of the coppers in the box at the ‘ end of a long wooden pole. But the service, simple as it is, has always been dear to the Queen. Let us imagine a beautiful sum-- mer morning in autumn. Everything is quiet and peaceful and the smoke from the peat tires is rising in white wreaths amid the transparent at- mosphere into the blue sky. It is nearly noon, and the pCOple are making their way to the churchâ€"â€" piain country folk, peasants and their families; tall, handsome gil- lies and gamekeepers in kilts--â€"a dress which shows their splendid figures to advantage; old women with their bibles in their hands, their white handkerchiefs and a bunch of fragrant southernwood or sweetly smelling thyme between the leaves. Farmers come in their rigs. some of them riding ponies, and there is a carriage or two or a ‘ brake full of tourists from England. The bell begins to tinkle and the people make their way. into church. By and bye. among those who are still outside. there is a loud whis- perâ€"“'I‘hore‘s the Queen: she's com- ing" and almost immediately the royal carriage, drawn by four, handsome white horses, drives up. The Quwn is probably attended by the Princess Beatrice. a grandchild and a lady-in-Waiting. Behind, in carriages and pairs, follow the other HOW HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN SPENDS THE SABBATH DAY. WA A Ityob) uuu rim-u, , -v--v â€" vâ€"v v .â€" ._ mcmbers of the household In the days of the old church, the Queen had to mount a. number of steps to get into her pew which was in the "loft," or gallery, but now, in the new church, she slips into her pew quite easily, and hardly needs the assistance of the Indian attendant. The minister is already in the pul- pitâ€"in the old days it would be Dr. Borman MacLeod or Principal Caird or Tulloch. Now it is probahl} Dr. Cameron Lees of St. Giles, 22iin- burgh; Professor Story of (1] Lane“ University, or Dr. Donald Macleod of the Park Church, Glasgow The parish min-I: Ler when the Queen first came ’.I ,, orathie was the Rev. Mr. Andxson; then followed the Rex Dr. Campbell, who lately, to the Queen's regret, had to resign his charge through ill-health. and now the Rev. J. immsay Sibbuld is in charge. The minister makes a slight obeisance to the Queen and she service begins with r'rrtiraeâ€"perhaps with that grr“"' (.iti Puritan anthem, the Hun- u.L'n Psalm; or the 121$t Psalm: “1 to the bills will lift mine eyes" to the tune of “Trench;" or part of the 43rd Paalm. ”0 send Thy light forth and Thy truth," to the tune of “Invocation.” This is fol- lowed by prayers by the minister. then the lessons are read from the Old and New Testaments. In the old church they Wore read from the pulpit; now they are read from a handsome lectern. After the reuding of the lesson, there is an anthem or paraphrase; then ('ome the intercel- Sall‘y prayers, when God's blessingr is invoked for the Queen and the royal family. As an instance of how closely Her Majesty follows the prayers. of her ministers, it may be remembered that She said about. Dr. Norman MacLeod on one OCCusion: "The second prayer was very touching; his allusions to us were Ru siMp‘c, saying after the mention of us,‘I!;£:s their children!’ It gave me a. lump in the throat, as also when he pray- ed for ‘the dying, the woun-Jei, tho nxidow and the orphan!

It was of the sim- plest description in those days. and there was no singing. I preached a. short sermon from the text, “The just shall live by faith.” and began by describing Martin Luther ascend- ing the Sancta. Scale. at Rome, when these words camefito him with such irresistible force that he hastily de- sisted in the act of penance and walked from the place. honor of conductlng’ divine serice tcfore Her Majmty. It was on Kov. 10. L578. The Queen was not going much to the pariah churcn at that After lunching at the castle and .vriting my name In the Queen's birthday book, I had the honor of an interview with Her, Majesty. whq. “WM after asking about my father, one of her chaplains, spoke kindly of my sermon and said: “I suppose you know this is Luther’s birthday?” I had to confess my ignorance of the interesting coincidence. Later in the afternoon the Queen called at the manseéand left a letter for me to hand to my father. It contained these words: “The Queen must write Principal Tulloch a line to tell him how much pleased she Was with his son’s preaching and performance of divine service this day, which had to be in the house. Would Principal Tulloch tell him she would like to have his sermon, and might she add a. wish to have his own preached here this day fortnight?" After the sermon is over there is a prayer and then a hymn or para- phrase, ,perhaps' “0 God of Bethel," or “Father of ‘Peace and, God of Love." and the simple service ends with the benediction. The Queen quietly leaves the church, is helped into her carriage, and driven back to the castle. 1n the afternoon she has a long drive and in the evening the preacher for the day has fre- quently the honor to be included in” Her Majesty's dinner party. Thus ends Sunday at Balmoral. When the service has to be “in the house." it is now held in what is called "the service room,” which was specially built for the purpose -â€"2. beautiful litt‘e. room, holding about thirty. people. Indeed. for Her Majesty to go to the old church was latterly the exception, on acâ€" count of the. difficulty of climbing the sieys to the. royal pew. I have had the honor of preaching before the Queen about sixteen times, but When honsc' ’ called wa s 81‘ I have only once preached before her in the old church. In the service room the service is simple, but, there are two hymns, which the Princess Bomrice usually leads on the harâ€" monium. Before the service the Queen is always furnished with the hymns the lessons to be read, and the preachcr’s text.â€"â€"-1{ev. W. W. Tulloch in New York Observer. Ipecacuanha is a low, creeping. per- ennial plant, growing wild in Brazil, having a faint, peculiar odor and a bitter. subaerid, nauseous taste. the root of which is largely used as an emetic. This root is small and wrinâ€" kled, being marked by regular prev tuberances or rings. Since the col- lection of rubber in Brazil has as- sumed such proportions those gather- ing and preparing roots for the mar- ket have abandoned the latter occuâ€" pation {or the former, which is more profitable and less laborious. The re- sult has been to curtail greatly the supply of ipecacunnha; in fact. prac- tically none is gathered. The possibility of an earlier scar- city of the drug was foreseen by United States dealers. who, says The Pittsburg Dispatch, have almost a monopoly of the market. Prices have been advancing steadily for 10 years. In 199:; the. price (I pound was $1.25, but now it is $4.25. In View of the great increase in price the Brazilian gatherers might. for a. time, find the gathering of ipecnc u. more profitable cinploymmit than the bullection of rubber. : A Lima» “in: {or George.
