ON THE ENGLISH THRONE.

QUEEN VICTORIA is said to know the
names of all her household servants,
although there are over one hundred
and twenty-five of them.
CHARLES " did not rehearse his own
funeral in his own lifetime. On the
contrary, he disliked the thought of
death so much that all persons were
forbidden to use the word in his pres
ence.
The seignorage or deduction made
from the bullion to cover expenses and
pay the sovereign his royalty has
varied in different countries and at
different times. Henry III. charged
sixpence in the pound; Henry VIII.
fifty shillings for every pound of gold
coined.
WHEN the queen dies her mortal re-
mains will rest in the gray granite
sarcophagus with the late lamented
Prince Albert's ashes. Underneath the
arms of the queen and Prince Albert
on the monument is inscribed: Care
well, well beloved. Here at last I will
rest with thee. With thee in Christ I

The Chin ese Tea Trade.

Alarmed by the rapid extension of
the use of Indian teas in Europe and
the consequent decline of the demand
for the Chinese leaf, the Pekin authori-
ties have just issued proclamation
against the manufacture of what is
significantly styled in the document as
''lie" tea. The proclamation points
out that this scandalous practice has
contributed more than anything else
to bring about the wane of the Chinese
tea trade, and it declares that the au-
thorities are determined to put a stop
to it. People are warned not to make
any tea excepting of the genuine tea
leaves, and if any person is discovered
infringing this order he will be pun
ished by transportation for life-a pen
atty which will be extended also to the
seller and to the buyer, as well as to
all others who have taken any part in
the placing of adulterated tea upon
the market.

Delicate Surgical Operation Performed on

A few days ago party of Utica la
dies went to the st. Lawrence for ten
days stay. One night recently two
gentlemen relatives hied themselves
away to the river to stay over Satur-
day and Sunday. Saturday afternoon
the gentlemen went fishing, and their
success was abundant, for they car
ried back to the little cottage dozens
of excellent fish. In the morning the
breakfast was made very inviting by
the serving up of fine mess of the fish
caught the night before
According to the Utica Herald, one
of the Young ladies in the party had
the misfortune, while eating her break
fast, to get small fish bone in her
THROAT. 1t did not strangle her, but
gave her considerable discomfort, and
every effort to dislodge it failed. Fears
were entertained that unless the bone
was taken out it would cause inham-
nation, and so the sufferer was taken
in a rowboat and a visit made to a
neighboring island in search of assist
ance. The bone could be seen Just
back of the tonsils, but how to get at
it was the question. In the search for
aid dentist was found, but he had no
instruments with which to perform the
operation. At length, as trial, a visit
was made to rather pretentious cot
tage on one of the islands where some
wealthy people were staying, and
though they searched they could find
nothing among their household uten-
sils that could be used for the purpose
of fishing for the bone.
"Why wouldn't a curling iron do?"
suddenly asked one of the young
ladies, with a flash of inspiration in
her eyes.
''Why not, indeed?" was in the mind
of everybody. And then the wonder
was why this had not been thought of
before.
A curling iron was procured, and
though little nervousness was exhib-
tied on the part of the operator
sufferers brother-he soon succeeded
in catching the bone between the jaws
of the instrument and drawing it out.
Then everybody laughed and all were
happy

assisted in the great functions and GER
