THE OF EEN'S CHILDREN,
They Were Taken to the Royal Acad-
envy by Victoria Herself

Lady Eastlake's most interesting
memoirs contain a charming little
word picture of the queen as she was
fifty years ago, when her sons ana
daughters were all little people. II
gives us some idea of the LONELINESS
of her majesty. and should serve as an
example to many of her subjects, who
regard the charge of their own chill
dren an rs impossible and degrading
task. Lady Eastlake is describing a
visit to the royal academy uneXpect-
edly paid by the queen one afternoon,
and she tells how she arrived with
seven children, the youngest of whom,
the duke of Connaught, mad been
promised a catalogue all to himself
because 1t was his birthday. These
small royal folk appear to have re
ouired as much keeping in order as

the Harter mill to see Col. Brown who
took out policy for 100000 in the

ter did not take a policy but he made
this inquiry: Col. Flower, he said, IF
a man should take out a policy today
and should commit suicide tonight
would policy be paid?" He was as
sured that it would and then he ad-
dressed Ghaster saying, "Ghaster, do
you think II man who had never

Chicago, Feb. 20.--Contlacts were
drawn up in Chicago yesterday by
means of which it is promised that
packers and shippers of penshable
food products will in the future get
along without ice. Drat Perkins, now
resident of Chicago, has patented a
process of keeping meats. fruits and
perishable products during transporta-
uCns by the use of steriliZed air. His
patents extend to the antipodes. The
contract concluded was between him
and j. M. Smart, of Melbourne, man
ager of the Australian Meat Transpor-
tation corporation, limited, for the use
of the process in the seven colonies of
Australia. A corporation is also
about to be formed, with headquarters
in Chicago to control the process over
the railroad lines of this continent and
the steamship lines running from ports
in North and South America Smart,
of the Australian meat export corpora
ton, is of the opinion that the new pro-
cess, which he says will enable Aus
tralia to ship its meat to Europe, will
virtually crowd American dressed
meats out of the European market He
adds: Moreover it will enable us to
ship our fruit, which now rots for want
of market. to England at a season
when it will command the highest
prices and annihilate the trade which
an American syndicate had been plan
ming for. We propose to supply the
whole of Great Britain with meat and
fruit. Six warehouses are now being
built in London and Manchester, which
will serve as our distributing points.
wo of them are among the largest re-
Ceiving warehouses in the world" The
fruit syndicate of California is The in
terest which Mr.. Smart says has been
most concerned about the matter.

THE reason kissing is 50 pleasant Is
because the teeth. jawbone and lips
are full of nerves. and when the lips
OF persons meet an electric current Is
generated. and you don't have a dyna-
mo machine nor a battery in the

there Is no patent on IL. and the poor

Fort Benton River Press: The hog
stories related in this column a few
days ago seem to have awakened a
lively interest in the pork producing
resources of this state. 1t is beginning
to be realized that the Montana hog
industry has a great future, and that
there are millions in il.
The possibilities of enormous pork
production in Montana being demon
strated and acknowledged, the enter
-pTising citizens Of several towns nave
begun TO compete for packing establish
ment honors. Such projects are under
discussion in Miles City, Billings, Boze-
man. Kalispell and other cities near the
source of supplies, and Helena, with
her usual enterprise, also enters the
list for pork packing honors. The In
dependent, of that city, refers to the
Helena proposition as follows:
"A movement is on foot. and arrange
ments will probably be consummated
before long. for the erection near Hell
ena of a pork packing establishment
on large scale. The parties who are
contemplating this movement have an
admirable location in view only a short
distance from the city, and the neces-
sary buildings will be erected during
the coming summer, so as TO be ready
for business early in the fall"
A home industry OF that nature de-
serves encouragement, and IL the neces-
sary raw material can be secured, the
Helena packing establishment would
undoubtedly prove a success. We I'M
derstand that Colonel Sutherlin, OF
Meagher county, markets all his hogs
in Helena, which would be an import
ant factor in solving the raw material
problem, and when this supply fails. ID
is understood that the local product
could be drawn upon to an unlimited
H. -. n
make a ten-strike in her projected
pork packing establishment; IL might
add more to her wealth and reputation
than her celebrated cracker factory.
