THE QUEENS DIET.

A paragraph has appeared in the Scotch
papers stating that the queens good
health is owing to her careful dieting, one
of her practices being to take "a small
liqueur glass of very fine old whiskey
after both luncheon and dinner" This is
pure invention, for the queen never
drinks any spirit undiluted. Her majesty
occasionally takes a small glass of fine
old whiskey mixed with tumbler of min
eral water. People must have a queer idea
about careful dieting who include raw
spirits in the regimen.
The queen takes a light breakfast,
hearty luncheon, a substantial tea; but at
a quarter to g. when dinner is served, her
majesty eats very sparingly and only
of the lightest and most nutritious food.
About midway between breakfast and
luncheon, when the. queen is transacting
business (all the heavy work of the day
being over and done with at half past u,
her majesty takes refresher in the shape
of either a cup of beef tea as strong as it
can be made or an egg beaten up with
little milk or sherry.-London Truth.

A bishop Who VIII Go Into the IN
terror of Alaska.


Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe. who was
appointed bishop to Alaska at the ren-
eral convention of the Episcopal church
on the 18th of October last. il in tb,a
city, on his way to the cold north. saws
the Portland Telegram. Speaking Of
MS appointment yesterday. the bishon
SAID that he considered ii a penal SENT
ence' because it meant practically BAN
ishment. 80
Il CO." said he, ito take charge Of the
missions there. The greater portion ~
my time will be spent in the interior
where ! shall go among the miners
The bishop has just left a CHARGE n
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. He was ordain-
ed In 1873, at the age of 81 Following
his appointment as bishop, he was con-
secrated in St. Georges church New
York, on st. Andrews day, November
80 last He expects to leave Seattle for
Alaska about March 10.
Rev. Mr.. Rowe will sail for juneau.
where the church has at present a mis-
sion, but he expects to make Sitka his
headquarters. About the middle of
April he will start inland fully equipped
with sleigh, snowshoes and provisions.
The bishop expects that he will not re-
turn to the coast until some time in
November, and then probably at some
point in the north, from which he may
be compelled to take the steamer for
San Francisco. to return from there to
Juneau by another line of boats. If
there should not be an Opportunity to
join party travelling in the desired d.
rection, the bishop will be required to
take native guide along.
The object of the journey is to ena-
BILE the minister to become conversant
with the country and acquainted with
the inhabitants. The bishop will be
accompanied to Juneau by Rev. H.
Beer. of Minnesota, who will be placed
in charge of the mission at Juenau.
Referring to his appointment, the
bishop said that 1t was at one time
thought no one could be induced to 60
out to Alaska, and, for that reason,
the election was opposed for long time
The appointment is probably for life
time, and the bishop perhaps will not
visit the states oftener than every three
years, and then 1t will be to attend the
general conventions. He looks for hard
work with little comfort but goes with
a gold heart and willing hands.

GOOD TYPEWRITER EXERCISE.

Here, says Pearson's Weekly, are some
of the shortest sentences into which the
most important letters of the alphabet
can be compressed:
~ Gray, packed with my box five dozen
quills,' IS letters. Back, glad zephyr
watt the javelin box" 81 letters. "Phiz
styx, wrong, buck, flame, quib,' 26 letters
Fiji quick? landi hew gypsum box" 20
letters. "Dumpty quiz! whirl back fogs
next" q letters. Export my fund. Quiz
black wings" 26 letters. Get nymph,
quiz and brow, fix luck" % letters In
more sober English the last one would be-
Marry, be cheerful, watch your bust
ness" These sentences would make ex-
cellent writing copies, for they secure at
tention to every letter and profitable exer-
cises for learners on the typewriter, as
they take in all the keys, and thus famil-
iarize one readily with all possible COM
binations. By changing from capitals to
lower case the value of the exercise is
greatly increased.

The Italian battleship Christoforo Co.
lombo has a curious arrangement for fur
nishing her seamen with drinking water.
Experience proved that drinking large
quantities of cold water after violent ex-
ercise, especially while cruising In the
tropics, caused many deaths. The water
tanks on the battleship were designed to
prevent such indiscretion. The water
tanks on the vessel are connected with
innumerable little rubber hoses and on the
end of each hose is a small rubber nipple.
Whenever any seaman wants drinking
water he must turn a stop cock and then
suck 1t through the hose and nipple. 1t
is slow work, but 1. has been found that it
preserves many valuable lives.

WHEAT DECREASE IN FEBRUARY
1t Is Said to BE Less Satisfactory
THIN Was Anticipated.

Available stocks of wheat in the Uni
Ted States during February decreased
4.647 600 bushels, both coasts and in
canada, less than one-half the decrease
I'm February, 1895, but considerably more
Ithan the falling off in February in 1884
and in 1898, and about the same shrink
Rge as was shown in February, 1892
from this it is noted that February's
Reduction in domestic and Canadian
supplies in 1895 was phenomenally
heavy, and that the decrease last month
IS materially above the average for
<he February decrease in three years
trior to 1895. With this explanation the
4hrinkage in wheat stocks here and
Eanada last month is seen to be of mod
<rately bullish character, whereas at
<|rst sight, in comparison with the fall
rs off in February one year ago, It
ppeared quite the reverse.

is where the rub comes"
You do not seem to be quite sanguine
about the popular vote in &C.,
NO" she replied, II am not sanguine
as said before, / sometimes feel dis
couraged.. OF course / know we have
nearly finished the battle. The princi-
pie is practically conceded, but 1t Is evil
dent that that the next step we must
take in the march to complete emanci-
patton Is by the way of the churches,
asking them for the rights which we
have asked the states for these last so
v"ears-for the same rights, immunities
and privileges that men enjoy"
You mentioned that the perversion
of the religious element in woman pre-
vented her progress?"
Yes; that very perversion has held
her for ages under the car of juggern-
aut, has doomed her to the funeral
pyre, has kept her in iron shoes, has
kept her in the harem. This perversion
makes her the beggar for the church
fairs, the maker of altar cloths, sur
plices and slippers. In return for this
devotion women are entertained with
sermons from the text, Suffer not a
woman to speak in the churches etc.
Women must demand that all un-
worthy reflections upon the dignity Of,
womanhood and motherhood shall be
expunged from religious literature. The
ideas continually enunciated conflict
with the golden rule and with the fifth

decrease this year OF only $780,


a view of this change in the total Of
ne worlds supplies of available wheat
during February, 1896, is not as marked
as anticipated. and in this respect the
months summary of the worlds wheat
totals is less satisfactory to holders
than anticipated, says Bradstreet's.
During February, 1880, worlds sup
plies of available wheat, which included
those in the United States and Canada,
both coasts, in Europe and afloat there-
Tor from all exporting countries, fell off
fully 100000 bushels, and in Febru-
airy, 1891, 100000 bushels, while in 1892
the worlds decrease in wheat stocks
IN the corresponding month was also
lO,0O0,00O bushels. BY this time, how
ever, the effects of one or two extraor-l
dinarily heavy wheat crops, particularly
in the United States, had begun to make
themselves felt; and in February, 1898,
the worlds available wheat did not de-
crease at all, but, on the contrary, it
showed an increase of about 100000
bushels. This was practically repeated
in February, 1894, when the increase
was about 100000 bushels. But in Feb
ruary, 1895, as pointed out, heavy
shrinkages in wheat stocks on this side
OF the Atlantic had a natural effect, and
the worlds total of available wheat
declined 100000 bushels, or nearly as
much as in the corresponding month of
1892 and of 1890. Last month, however,
the decrease in the worlds available
was only 100000 bushels, for three
fourths of which the shrinkage of sup
plies in the United States and Canada
was responsible, the remainder being
the net February decrease in Europe
and afioat therefor.
Total worlds wheat stocks January 1,
this year, nearly 100000, 900 bushels, were
smaller than on corresponding dates in
three years next preceding, which was
true of the total for February l, 100, 000,-
600 bushels, and is repeated in the com
parison for March /, this year, with it's
l54, 00O, 600 bushels. 1t is encouraging to
point out that the January l total in
1896 was as small as the aggregate of
the worlds wheat on March l, in 1895,
and the February l total this year, 160,
100000 bushels, corresponds practically
with the April total for 1895. The ag-
gregate of worlds stocks on the LIST
inst, 154, 100000 bushels, also duplicates
the comparison made by that for Jan
uary l, this year, in that it is smaller
than the corresponding total on May l
year ago.

Before Monsignore Massaia was elevat-
ed to the cardinalate he passed much time
in Abyssinia and was the prime favorite
of King Menelek. One day the king asked
the future prince of the church to secure
him sewing machine, of which he had
heard. The machine was shipped to
Abyssinia in parts, and no one at the
court or in the following of Monsignore
Massaia could put them together. At last
the king, despairing of outside help, took
the machine to his rooms, worked at 1t
all night, and the next morning sent for
the monsignore and the queen to show
them his handiwork. He had succeeded
in putting the parts together perfectly.
