According to the Information and be-
lief Of wide awake member of the
Real Estate Exchange, nearly all the
foreign potentatcs are investors in New
York real estate. He declares to a rep
resentative of the Times that the pur-
chase of valuable piece OF property in
Nassau steet, made about ayear ago by
foreign banking house, was an invest
ment of Queen Victoria's. "The Queen
owns other real estate in this city," said
the we'll posted man." and she has
bought thousands OF acres of land out
West. The royal family OF Germany has
extensive investments in this city and
elsewhere, AMI so has the King of
Sweden. The ex-Empress Isabella of
Spain owns several pieces of property In
this and in other parts OF the United
States. She is a woman Of great fore
sight. The land on which the Western
Union Building stands was once the
property OF the Empress Eugenie, and l
presume that she still has some invest
ments here. King Humbert, Of Italy, is
=, reported to be II judcious buyer Of prop
erty in this country, and persons sus.
pectei OF being agents of the Gear Of
Russia have been looking about on this
side of the water for first.class Invest
ments. tell you those people who ar,
in the King business over in Europe are
shrewd. They cannot tell how soon
they may be- shaken off their thrones by
political rev buttons, and they mean to
have so neth;ns to fall back on in this

The California Tnrrct BuiId-r.

On the Pacific Coast there Is D
spider which builds its house, SO Il
speak, in q very peculiar mapncr, and is,
therefore, styled the California turre,
builder. 1t mines into the ground more
or less perpendicularly to the depth Of
eight or ten inches, and from a quarter
to q half inch in diameter. The size oj
the house varies, according to the sox
and maturity. This burrow is lined
with silk throughout, and the nest OF
full grown female will have turret three
inches in height above the surface OF the
ground. The material of tho turret is
made of whatever vegetation may be 10
the vicinity, woven together with silk.
It has a wide range over California, tho
turrets presenting pleasing variation on
account of the different materials With
which they are made. in the rainy sea-
son they dig and enlarge these tubes;
but tbev do not then carry oh or scatter
the earth, but utilize il by building au-
ether oarthGm tuIIci, reminding one,

IL is closely allied TO the trap-doOr
spider OF other regions, hut is smaller
and differs in other respects. 1t is some
times confused with the Californis

In the Con6iu,ent Is

A physical wreck from. eating cloves
Odd as it may seem to the non-profes-
aonal person, this condition is not at
oil uncommon in those who carry this
foolish habit to excess.
Comparatively harmless as is the
use of Gloves In the beginning, says the
New York journal, the system soon
feels craving for the stimulating ef-
feet produced by them, and slowly and
insidionsly the habit grows until they
become as much an absolute necessity
to the victim as does brandy to the Dip
somaniac or opium TO the morphine fiend-
1t is in their supposed ha'mlessness
that the danger Of acquiring the Glove
habit lies. Schoolgirls whose taste
has been perverted by over-indulgence IN
sweets, turn naturally to the spice cam
lister In search Of change for the
organs of taste with the almost invaria-
BILE result that they finally discard the
candies for the pungent little bud
The habit once acquired, the uncon-
scious victim begins TO .flnd that what
was once a pastime has now become
necessity, and instead of being satisfied
with a small quantity, as ct FIRST, two
or three ounces day are found neces-
sary to satisfy the SYSTEMS craving.
Then follows gradual but certain
breaking down of the constitution, be.
ginning at the nerve ceoters, which fin.
ally brings the victim to a pitiable con.
