A QUEENS PERQUISITES.
Every Whale Captured on the King
Gom's Coast is Hers.

Among the most curious of Her
Majesty's perquisites is her right to
every whale or sturgeon captured on
the coast of the United Kingdom
and brought to land. Both of these
perquisites date back to the days OF
the Norman Kings, and it appears
that In the case of the whale the
monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the Queen
taking the head in order that her
wardrobe might be replenished with
the whalebone needed for the stiffen-
ing of her royal garments.
Another of the Queens perqulsltes
is a certain number of magnificent
cashmere shawls, which are dispatch
ed to her every year from the King
dom of Cashmere. They vary In
value, as a rule, from ego to ESQ
apiece, and the Queen is accustomed
to present one of them as wedding
present to every young girl OF the
aristocracy In whose future she IS IN
any way interested. Every tailor
holding a patent of 'Purveyor to
Her Majesty" if he conforms to
ancient tradition and usage, should
present her with silver needle each
year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present annually to
her q tablecloth, while from other
sources again entitled to an annual
contribution of such varied tips as
white doves, white hares, curry
combs, firetongs. scarlet hosiery,
nightcaps, knives, lances and cross
bows. Moreover, at the coronation
the Lord of the Manor of Addington
must present to the sovereign
"dish of pottage" composed of
''almond of milk, Drawn of capons,
sugar, spices. chickens parboiled and
chopped" At the same ceremony
the Lord of the Manor of Hayden Is
obliged by virtue of his tenure from
the crown to present the monarch
with towel, the Lord of the Manor
of Workshop giving the sovereign
'sright-handed glove" These are
only few OF the various perquisites
to which Queen Victoria is entitled
by tradition and usage.-Tit-Bits.

Dairy and Creamery.

Professor Dean of the Ontario Agri
cultural college, speaking of the differ.
ence between cheese and evaporateG
milk, says: "The difference between
cheese and evaporated milk is chiefly
this--the former contains but three OF
four of the original compounds of the milk
viz, water about 81 per cent; fat, 81 per
cent; casein, 81 per cent. and about ,
PER cent Of Tactic acid, ash, etc. while the
evaporated milk has also the milk sugar,
which in cheesemaking passes off in tho
whey, and varying amount Of water
and in some cases cane sugar"
Scientific cheesemakers at the expert
ment stations begin to be of opinion that
cheese can be made without rennet anu
that this will be done in course of time,
though how they are not prepared to say
The truth about aerating milk seems
TO be thie: If you want it to get cream
from for butter making. do not aerate it,
as this makes the cream hard to get out
of the milk. Milk that is clean does not
need aeration for butter making pur-
poses. But if you sell the milk and want
to get the best prices for a pure, sweet
article without any food favors or cowy
odors, then aerate it.
Dairy Instructor Ball advises all cream
cries to put in apparatus for pasteuriz
ing or steriizing the cream before they
churn it. This is done in Danish cream
cries and constitutes one reason why
Danish butter is considered the best that
is made.

Sheep Dipping.

A few pointers on this most necessary
performance for the health of the sheep
will not be out of place. A vat can be
used for the purpose. This vat can be
made water tight with the aid Of coal
tar, and it may be sunk into the groune
until its top is level with the surface
Commercial dips are perhaps the best,
and they are not expensive, yet If one
desires he can make a homemade dip
and most OF the Colorado breeders are
using this kind--that will answer very
well for killing ticks. Four pounds of
refuse tobacco OF stems will make 20
gallons Of dip.
Three pounds of white arsenic dis
solved in or 8 gallons Of boiling water
and diluted with enough cold water to
make 25 gallons is also good tick
eradicator. 1t is cruelty to animals not
to dip lambs after the old sheep are
sheared If there are any ticks in the
flock. If the head needs dipping, and it
Is usually well to do so, use the hands
for that purpose, allowing none of the
duid to enter ears, eyes or mouth. The
dripping or drying of the sheep can be
facilitated by man or two in the in.
closure to squeeze out the fluid. Such
manipulation is quite likely to make the
dipping more effective, in that it works
the dip into all affected places in the
Gkin.
1t is desirable to have q clean lot t.
turn the sheep in after dipping. Lambs
should be dipped after the old sheep art
Iheared, else they will be almost de
Foured by the ticks that leave the old
sheep for the better feeding ground sup.
piled by the lambs. The dipping vat is
not absolutely necessary to do the work,
but is very convenient, and where large
Aocks are to be treated it pays well to
build it. Smaller focks can be treated
In a large tub-say the bottom third of
an upright molasses hogshead or an or.
binary water tank or trough. In this
case table should be provided on one
side Of the vat, inclining toward the lat
ter, on which the sheep can be laid while
the fluid Is squeezed out of the wool and
allowed to run back into the vat.-Farm

aARDSHIPS Or THE SEA.
The Adventures Of Sailor on a
Single Voyage.
IN THE GRASP OF A DEvILFIsu.

hfter Escaping a Horrible Fate the Unfor-
innate Mariner Was Thrice shipwrecled,
Tive Days In az Open Boat Cast AWAY
on an Island.
There landed recently in the port % New
London, Conn, Danish sailor who will
think twice before he again ships for
whaling cruise in southern seas The story
Of bis adventures is thus related by the cor.
respondent of the st. Louis Globe-Demo
erat; The Dane was a member of the crew
OF the whaling ship Tristram, that was
cruising in the vicinity of Coughs island.
One day a whale was sighted and chase
made for him. A harpoon was fixed in the
flesh of the animal, which sounded, :" drag,
ging the line after him with terrific speed.
In running out the rope somehow caught
the Dane around the waist, and in the
twinkling of an eye he was overheard and
being dragged toward the bottom of the
sea with fearful speed. With great diff.
Guilty he drew his knife from his belt and
cut the rope. He shot upward and caught
sight of the circle of light over his head
that indicated the spot where he would rise
60 the surface, when the water about him
suddenly seemed filled with squirmiEg rep
tiles, and that instant he felt the sinly
arms of a devilfsh Unfolding him. Had it
not been that the line was still fastened to
his wrist the man would probably have
been carried to the bottom by the ferocious
fish. AS it was, the men in the boat rap.
idly drew him up, and when he came TO the
surface he was slashing at the snaky arms
that were tightening around him. The fish
was an unusually large one and had no in
tention of giving up its prey.
When the sailor got so that he could
breathe, he regained his strength and cut
and Stabbed the pulpy mass, but the arms
continued to tighten around him, and ht
found that he was in danger of being
crushed to death. The sailors in the boat
were chopping at the hideous fish with
hatchets and jabbingi it with harpoons The
Danes arm finally fell into the grasp of the
fish, and he became absolutely %helpless. All
that he could do was to call to his fellows
that the fish was surely crushing the life
out of him.
After fearful struggle the fish was SC
completely chopped to pieces that it could
do no further damage, and the sailor, un
conscious of pain and the loss of blood, was
drawn into the boat, where the tentacles OF

A RATE WAR.

A passenger rate war has broken out
between the Southern Pacific Company
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Company. Its details appear in
our telegraphic columns and will be found
to be lucid and easily understood.
The merits of the war do not concern
US now. A rate war that reduces first
class passenger fare between the Missouri
River and Sacramento Marysville, San
Jose and San Francisco to $40, or $50 30
for a round-trip frst-class unlimited
ticket, means much good for this part of
the State.
In degree it will inure also to the bene
fit.of the southern section Of our COM
monwealth, for the figure stated is the
rate fixed by the Atchison system be-
tween the Missouri River and Los An
geles and San Diego.
What California should pray for is the
long continuance of this railroad war.
We want people having leisure and
means to travel, to come into the State
and see it, with the belief that under even
a few days examination the State will
present sufficient inducement to lead to
the settlement here of great numbers Of
desirable people.
If there are any who say we need no
more immigration, that we have people
60 Olox SC
enough of the right kind" We want
people able to take homes, to occupy
small tracts; people with some means to
make beginning; people who have eco
nomic ideas and habits; thrifty, energetic
and industrious people.
These are of the very class that the $40
rate will attract. It gives them the oppor-
tunity they have long waited for. They
will come now when industry is slack at
the East and while winter still prevails;
come now to see the States capacity in a
nutshell at the county exhibits, and
when the State itself can be seen in the
green Of the leaf and the first ope ming Of
bud and blossom.
Let Sacramento share in this good for
tune. The ways open to her are many.
We should meet the people on the road
with information concerning this region.
and by other honorable devices induce
them to look in upon us. This rate war
may do for Northern and Central Cali
fornia what an earlier rate war did for
Southern California-gave it its first real
momentum toward success.
