A member of the New York Real Es.
tate Exchange says that several OF the
royal families Of Europe have made
considerable investments In this coun-
try. He declares that the purchase OF
a valuable piece Of property in Nassau
street made about a year ago by q for
eign banking -hDnse was an investment
OF Queen Victo.ia's. The Queen owns
other real estate In New York, and she
has bought thousands Of acres Of land
out West. The royal family Of Cor
many has extensive investments In New
York and elsewhere, and 80 has the
King of Sweden. The ex-E Empress Isa-
bella Of Spain owns several pieces Of
property in New York and In other parts
OF the United States. She 10 q woman

The land on which the Western Union

Lace Schools Are There No More.

1t was q pretty sight twenty or thirty
years & to see the lace schools In En-
glish villages. AS you neared the cot
tages you could, perhaps, hear girls
voices singing, as fifteen or twenty,
seated at their pillows, were twisting an
intricate maze with their bobbins, and
sticking in the pins, making that WE'LL
known sound Of a scratch on the parch.
ment pattern as they put each pin in
place. The size Of the pillow and its
strand was suited to the size Of the
worker, and her seat the proper height
for all. Early in the summer mornings
these girls in various cottages would
begin their work, the clean hands and
face, the clean print frock and pinafore,
giving brightness to the group, for
cleanliness was a necessity. The work.
ing hours were short, and then came the
romp on the green. As the girls grew
up and went out to service they took
their lace pillows with them to their
places, and filled their leisure time-for
leisure had not then been abolished
with making lace, which their mistresses
would buy from them.

An Intelligent Cat.

A correspondent writing from Michi-
gan says that he was nee possessed Of
q cat which was remarkable not only for
the ease with which she could be taught
to do certain tricks, but also for the
amount Of independent intelligence
which she sometimes exhibited. Among
the things which tabby had learned was
to run to the door and get the mail when
left by the postman. When letters were
being read the cat would listen, appar-
entity interested. On n occasion q
letter arrived announcing the death Of
one of the family. When tabby saw her
mistress in tears she became greatly
excited, and leaping. she caught the let
ter which had caused the tears and tore
1t up into bits. The family were obliged
to 60 away to attend the funeral and
the cat was left alone. On the return
Of the family they found that the cat
had torn up all the mail which had been
brought while they were absent. The
cat probably associated the absence Of
the family to the receipt Of the letter
and so determined that it should not oc-
eur again, for V afterward vas it
safe to let her get hold OF any mail.

state Fair Prospects.

ACCORDING to c. L. Dourlly, the Sec
rotary, the prospects for a state Fair
for 1893 arc very favorable. He thinks
that in spite of the Legislature not
making an appropriation, the Board at
its meeting in Aberdeen on the I'D of
March will decide to hold the annual
fair. by cutting down premiums
somewhat, and with the aid OF the city
securing the fair, he thinks that the
receipts will amount to enough to de-
fray the expenses. The only appropri-
atoms made BY the Legislature were
$3, 665 to pay the deficiency OF the
Board and 81, 800 for q Fair in 1894.

The Detachable PlaDtain.

The plantain Is the most delicious Of
tropical fruits and especially flourishes
In the Spanish Republics of the Western
hemisphere. Last year the United
States imported 72,00O, 900 of the de-
lectable fruit. The tree is the queen of
the tropics, starting from the soil like
the Gala lily, from q tuberous root.
Several stalks are sent up from this
root, nine or ten months after planting.
When the first stalk is ripening the
others are tliree-quarters grown, so that
from three to five punches are obtained
from each plant every year. 1t requires
less labor thar the banana to raise and
bears for twenty years. 1t grows SO
luxuriantly that the ground which will
produce one bushel of wheat will yield
700 pounds Of plantain. 1t is better
adapted Tor transportation, as it does not
decay and spoil as easil, as the banana.
1t may be boiled ct fried but the best
way is to roast, bake Or stew it.
