The ice is cutinto immense blocks, that are so large it would be difficult to lift them from the water; so, in order to preserve them, they are weighted shot, attached by ropes to buoys, and sunk to the bot- tom of the lake.

The selection of Princess Marguerita. d ughter of King Victor Emanuel’s b i: ] ther, Duke of Genoa, is credited to Gen Menabrea. The story goes that the King. who had been growing fidgety over the single biessedness of his son and heir, peremptorily told the Premier that he must find a mate for the prince. The old general quietly replied that the lady was already found, and described to the king the talents and beauty of his niece. The king had never thought of his sons cousin, and a few days later he set out for Turin on an unannounced visit. He was charmed with the young woman, and there and then determined that the princess should be his daughter in-law. Prince Humbert required no persuasion to acquiesce in his fathers view, and the marriage was duly celebrat 1 ‘ed On April 21, 1868. The Princess. 1 Marguerite. became the object of averit- able cultus. Among others, the late Emperor Frederick of Germany is said to have conceived a sentimental adora~ tion for her. Queen Marguerita is not only beautiful and accomplished, but she has preserved a reputation above criticism. She is respected as she is loved. Besides being a capable artist and a giited musician, she has strong literary tastes, and has personally super- intended a translation of the works of Alexander Dumas fils. Queen Marguerita, to whom the late king of Italy was married in 1868, is an Italian princess, and this fact, added 'to her beauty and amiabjlity Mrs. Hashem,’ said the star- boardcr, ‘I have a friend who wants to board with you.’ 7‘1 can acéommodate him, Mr. Smart said the lady, delightedly. ‘I suppose you_ _recor_nm_end_ed o_ur table P ‘1- I ‘Yes; that’s what impressed him most You see, he's a pugilist, and he wants to increase the length of his reach.’ sénd'i out White: -’tfiread-like roots: gathers moxstu're (mph the air and be- gms t9 grqwnew leaves. a , , L‘_L Queen morguerita. can only be seen when the wind is blow ing.
