of theroyal house for the sake of the advertisement and thusreduce the burden of the taxpayers? Royalty seems afairly useless appendage to a democratic government,but if trained eyes, ears and palates could make of theimperial family a set of professional tasters for the public,the latter would be greatly benefited. All the manufac-turers of aerated bread would meet in competition beforethe Princess Christian and the manufacturer who pleasedher could well afibrd to supply her table for the year.Competitions should be held yearly so that the manu-facturers would be held up to the mark. If writers could be held up to the mark in the sameway we should all rejoice. The little that is known ofher gracious Majesty Queen Victorias literary tasteswould not, however, encourage this scheme. Thedomain of Marie Corelli is already large, especially overthe female mind, and if the Queens admiration weremade official we might not find anything else on the bookstalls. < BEERBOHMS CAklCA 1 UKt.ii.
