Ho is retired on a pension of $750 and has been given a -little cottage on the royal estates at Eton to live in. Hands never drove anybody but the Quo.-ri and was subject to her orders cxcliisiwly. For 40 years he haS nr-vor mounted ii box un1cSS S110 \Vi1S in the carriage, and it was probably true, as stated, that sho never rodo unless he held the reins. Although she was very stout, Queen Victoria was in the habit of riding horseback up to a few years before her dsnth. liven when she was over 75 years of ago she frequently mounted the sad- dle with the faitlilhal Sands at her side, and rodo slowly around the riding hall at Windsor or among thc paths upon the palace grounds. She considered it tho best form oi' exer- (rise.

building 150-by T5 feet in size, with n floor covered with tan bark. 'l`liore r all the horses bt-longing to the royal family are trducntrd in o. very severe school. Most of them are bred in the royal stahl.-s .it Hampton. Th..-y are broken with the greatest cure, and are taught to behave theinst-I\'cS under all circumstances so that noth- ing frightens them. They are accus- tomed to having military bands and lifes playing around them, iirccrack- ers and rockets shot oil under-their noses, and flags waved in their eyes, so that when they go out in pro- cessions, as they are required to do frequently, they will not be dis- turbed by the demonstrations.

All the horses in the stables are

trained in a sirnrilar manner, and' Queen Victoria took a great personal interest in that business. There is o, little balcony incloserl with glass overhanging the riding hall, in which sho used to sit for hours watching the groorns train her horses and the little princes and prizneesses learn- ing to ride. Every member of the royal family is accustomed to the saddle, and the little children of the Prince of Wales, now only 4 or 5 years old, are required to take lessons from the riding master twice a day. They have a pair of pretty Shetland ponies, and drive them in

` little carts. Queen Victoria had a ‘team of eight cream-colored ponies, := beautiful little animals, almost as

Phil, with a. twinkle in his eye,
