DON'T SKIP THIS.

So many schemes are put before the public for
the increase of newspaper circulation, which
seem to be plausible and yet are fraudulent that
when a legitimate, honest effort is made to build
up the circulation of legitimate, honest paper,
by legitimate honest means, people who have
been so many times duped, are very slow to res
pond to the genuine scheme. We are led to this
train OF thought by perusal OF the advertise
ment of THE AMERICAN RURAL HOME OF Roches-

which we call the attention of our readers. We

A QUEER STORY.
A Cousin of Queen Victoria Dying In
Obscurisy and secretly Buried.

A few days ago there died in Pres
ton, at an ordinary cottage house In a
street on the northern side of the town.
a woman of royal descent-a second
cousin of Queen Victoria, it Is dis
nnctly asserted, and, so far as the
town is concerned, she went down to
the grave, at the age of IS, "unhonor-
ed and unsung." The only mourner
at the graveside was her son, whose
life has been CT most checkered des>
criptinn. For particular reasons we
purposely suppress names; If refer
cnces were plainly made the living
might be injured in material prospects
This parsonage, true to the vow she
had made, gave no clue to her char
arter or lineage. So well was this
vow kept that only a limited favored
number were able to penetrate the
secret. Descended from a royal stock
of peculiarly historic renown, the
woman preferred to pass her youthful
days ia the vicinity of Balimoral
Castle. A Draw Scotch laddie, well
educated, but with no fine ancestry to
boast of. wooed and won the maiden.
They were married, but the marriage
was not approved of In certain high
! quarters and the welded couple after
wards took their departure and locst-
ed themselves IN neighboring Scot
fish town. Great secrecy
was observed as to the family charac
ter and associations of the deceased
as it was only three days ago we as
certa'ned, through quite a special
channel, that she had lived and died
al Preston. a shert time before her
death she, with her son, went special
ly to London snd stayed there for a
week, certain arrangements being
made during their soiourn IN the
metropolis. In her last illness she
called her son to her bedside, gave
him good council and advised him to
be content with his present station in
life, as any departure from it might
be attended with inconvenience to his
happiness. During his life there were
passing between London and Scotland
| and the deceased, which inclines us
to think that the so-called error oil
| her marriage was viewed in a by nc
means very harsh light and the events
which subsequently took place strong
ly confirmed this view. The deceased
was ripe scholar, good llnguist
possessed a well balanced mind and
left behind her many things bearing
upon her royal descent These. we
understand, are about to be. if they
have not already been, sent to a GER
tain quarter. A voluminous CORES

flames by order Of certain authorize:

Many of the books bore margina1
notes in ink, and these, too, have
been subjected to the same fiery or
deal. In accordance with instructions
officially given, all manuscripts and
letters have been destroyed, while
some articles have been sent off te

A recent writer on heating of green
houses and Conservatives says that
the secret OF successful heating is to
raise the temperature of the water IN
short space of time so as to cause it
to flow through the radiating pipes
with such velocity that it may return
to the boiler before losing all its heat.
This is achieved by bringing the water
under the influence of the fire in small
continuous bodies, and if this is car
ried out the radiating pipes can be re-
duced in size with advantage and
economy. The time for putting all
such things in order is during the hot
season.

\ roller rink patron has been figur-
ing some on roller skating and finds
that there are in round numbers 90
900 Kinks in the United States. Allow.
ing six persons to each rink as fair
estimate for the force necessary to
manage the concerns, there are 1885,
600 employees attached to the Kinks.
Then there are 80, 600 to 40, 900 pair of
skates sold each week; turned out
from 500 establishments which keep
200, 900 hands at work. Adding these
to the rink attaches there are $50, 600
persons making living out of the
roller skating craze. The number of
skaters is not so easily computed, but
the calculation puts it among the
millions, and it is probable that s.
600, o0o is low estimate. Each skater
is supposed to pay at least 81 q week
for the amusement, and this gives the
SUM of at least s., 200, 900 weekly for
this purpose. To this is to be added
tie first cost of The skates which is
paid either by the skaters or the rink
proprietors. The price of these articles
range from 80 cents for the cheapest
sidewalk rollers to Sc for fancy,
highly finished skates, and even more
in exceptional cases. Besides this Is
20 be considered the csst of erecting,
fitting up and maintaining the Kinks.
Thus large capital is invested in this
amusement plant, so to speak. The
craze is condemned in many quarters
on the ground that it encourages pop
ular extravaganza.
