The Wealth of Queen Victoria,


An act was recently passed enabling
the Queen to make a will, as she was
not before this supposed to be the
possessor of any property, and the
impression prevails that she has effect
ed large savings. This is not the
case. Although she has for many years
lived in retirement, her expenditure
has not materially decreased, for the
mise en- scene of royal pageantry is
still kept up. She has expended con-
siderable sums upon the purchase Of
the estates of Osborne and Balmoral,
and their maintenance falls on her.
She has, too, made consideration none
tary presents to her daughters on
their marriages, so that, although she
inherited $3.50, OOOfrom a silly person
who left her this amount, her private
fortune is comparatively small. Two
years ago Lord Salisbury's govern
ment submitted to Parliament a pro-
posal to endow her grandchildren. A
was appointed to consider this de-
mand, when it was decided that pro-
vision ought only to be made for the
children Of the Prince of Wales. The
committee was informed, under a
pledge of secrecy, OF the total value
of her Majesty's investments. As l
was a member of the committee, I
cannot, of course, violate this pledge;
but 1 do not think that am breaking
confidence in saying that the amount
was surprisingly small.-Forum.

ONE OF the most copious springs i'm
Great Britain is the famed St. Wini-
fred's Well, near the town of Holy
well, in Flintshire. The well is an
oblong square, about twelvefeet by
seven, and it's water, say the people
OF the district, has never been known
to freeze. This latter assertion NAV
be true, as, besides containing a fair
percentage OF mineral matters that
lover its freezing point. The well is
inside a beautiful chapel, which was
erected over it by Queen Margaret,
the mother OF Henry VII. The water
thrown up is not less than eighty
four hogsheads every minute, and the
quantity appears to vary very little
either in drouth or after the heaviest
rain, showing doubtless that it's print
tive sources are numerous and widely
distributed. st. Winifred's has been
the object Of many pilgrimages.

Touched the Button Himself.

The following incident happened at
Oroville, Cal. It was handsome
solitaire and she evidently desired the
lewler to know that it was her engage
ment ring. II would like to have
this ring cut down to suit my finger"
said the handsome heartsmasher, as
she fourished the brilliant ring before
the eyes of the jeweler. The jeweler
took the ring and smiled-he had seen
it before. II can fix that in a min
ute," he replied. Screening a magnify
ing glass in his eye and taking a small
sharp-pointed instrument in his.
hand, he touched a minute button on
the inside of the ring and made it the,
exact size, saying, as Replaced it on her
finger: "You sea these rings are,
made in this manner for the reason
that they are worn by so many diff
ferent people; it is q great conven-
ience." The young lady sailed out Of
the store burning with indignation
and the reason she did not fly was
because she didn't have wings. What
did she think? You know; and it is,
only necessary to state that she did
not wear the ring. Another girl has it
now, but this time the jeweler was not
permitted to touch the button-the,
young man did it himself. II Jewelers.

HE magnitude OF the figures con-
1ernlng the operations of the railways
OF the United States in 1890, present
ed in Poor's Manual, is indeed won
derful. When it is remembered that
the total revenue of the United States
for the year ending June 80, 1891,
was $392,5OO,OOO, the vastness OF
the earnings OF the railroads, 81, $780,
100000, may perhaps be better :ap-
preciated. The net earnings of the
railroads, $341, 100000, almost
equal the gross receipts of the United
States; and then as to traffic, it. is
hard for the mind to grasp the figures.
About 100000 passengers a. day,
and every day in the year, almost
100000 tons OF freight per day and
an average of revenue train mileage of
over 100000 per day.

Charles Stewart Parnell, the Great
Irish Leader Joins the Great
Majority.
Mrs. Parnell and the Family Physi-
clan the Only Ones Present
When the End Came.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Charles Stewart Pornell
having reached the age OF forty-fve years,
is dead.
His remains lie in his home at Walsing-
ham Terrace, Brighton, where only the
doctors and his vie are sa to have wit
messed his demise.
The time of Mr.. Parnell's taking off is
fixed between the hours of IL o'clock and
midnight last night, though no tidings Of
the fact came up to London for the public
until this morning. To say then that the
metropolis was shocked with surprise
would not convey even mild impression
of the feeling which greeted the news that
Parnell had died.
The early day report that Mr.. Parnell had
died by his own hand spread far, and
among the persons whom it reached was
Mrs. Parnell. Tonight she requests that
an emphatic denial be given to rumors that
her husband committed suicide. Shestates
that he had
LONG SUFFERED FROM RHEUMATISM
which developed into the fever that killed
him.
Mrs. Parnell, Mr.. Parnell's step daughter
and the servants according to the latest
accounts of the death of Mr.. Parnell, were
the only occupants of the house on Wal
singham Terrace when the Irish leader ex-
pired. The end, these later reports state,
was one intense agony for the sick man
until the moment when he became I'M
conscious and eventually dieu away with
out pain. Owing to the suddeness of the
Irish leaders illness and to the belief Of his
wife and of the attending physicians that
he would recover no friends or relatives OF
his family or that of Mrs. Parnell, ex-
cept her daughter, were present at Mr.. Par
nell's bedside when he died.
From the day he took to his bed, the
state of Mr.. Parnell's health was such as to
necessitate the constant attendance of two
physicians, but in spite of their incessant
and untiring efforts to prolong or to save
his lie, Mr.. Parnell sank lower and lower

TEA IN AUSTRALIA.

Inc Compound Which the Initiated
Antipodean Palate Graves,
In all up-country places men drink
tea. They drink all day long and at
every meal, in amazing quantities,
and at a most unwholesome strength.
The method ofpreparation is simple,
and one would think that if the aim
were to brew connection altogether
poisonous it ought to be effectual.
On Sunday mornings the tea-maker
starts with a clean pot and clean
record. The pot is hung over the fire
with sufficiency of water in 1T for the
days brew, and when this has boiled
he pours into it enough of the frag-
rant herb to produce deep coffee col
ored liquid. On Monday, without re-
moving Yesterdays tea-leaves, he re-
peats the process. On Tuesday da
capo, and on Wednesday da capo,
and so on through the week. Toward
the close of it, the great pot is filled
with an acrid mash of tea-leaves, out
of which the liquid is squeezed by the
pressure of a tin cup. By this time
the 'tea" is the color of rusty iron,
incredibly bitter and disagreeable to
the uneducated palate. The native
calls it 'real good oldpo and rails"
the smile being obviously drawn from
a stiff and dangerous jump, and re-
CARDS it as having been brought to
the very pitch of perfection. Doctors
tell OF cases resulting from this abuse
which closely border, in their
manifestations, on the signs of delirium
tremens.-From the Brandon Buck
