naught, recalls tile fact that the man who
would devour this pa Fticular widows
houses must make an uncommonly full
meal.
1t was discovered few years since that
ihe queen owned 500 houses in the various
parts of England-not royal residences, but
rent yielding property, gand that about
5000 houses had been, built by crown
essees on building leaseholds held of the
queen She then had also rents from mar
| aets and tolls from ferries, besides the
proceeds of mines aud other works upon
her property or the crown property.
She had large estates in Yorkshire, Ok
fOrdshire and Berks. valuable lands in the
Isle of Man and in Alderney, Scotland,
Ireland aud Wales. OF the New Forest
here are 1000 acres of absolute and SO
acres of contingent crown property. Her
majesty enjoys income from the Forest of
Dean, from several other forests aud from
rich properties in aud about London.
Osborne, on the Isle of Wight, and Bal
moral, In the Highlands, are the private
property of the queen. and are maintained
out of her own income. But she has the use
of few royal palaces besides, and these
are maintained by the nation at an annual
expenditure ranging from $4,000 to
$50 900.
The queen is in the occupancy of Buck
ingham palace, Windsor castle, the White
lodge at Richmond Park, and part OF st.
James palace. The remainder of the last
named palace is occupied by other men,
bers of the royal family.
Other royal palaces maintained as such al
though notin theoccupancy OF thequeen, are
Kensington palace, Hampton court (which,
according to recent estimate based on
the statistics of eight or ten years. cost
the nation on an average over SIC, 200
a year,. Kew palace, Pembroke lodge, the
thatched cottage, and Sheen cottage, Rich
mond Park; Bushy house, In Bushy Park.
and Holyrood palace.
When she visits the continent she has
one great house or another. with whatever
repairs and refurnishing are necessary
to fit it for a temporary royal occupant,
although for all this she pays out of her
own income. Bagshot house. Gloucester
house, and Clarence house are palatial
dwellings occupied by various members
OF the royal family. The queen has four
rather old fashioned yachts. on which she
ina kes her sea Journeys. although the
oldest OF them probably is used seldom OF
never. The four cost originally about
81 ,375, 900.

TO DANISH A DOUBLE CHIN.

L HAS been discovered that a double
chin can be banished by correct
breathing. The woman with a short
L neck must hold her head high, even
stretching her neck until conscious
OF the tensiono of the cords. She should also
practice dropping her head and letting it
roll listlessly about. This will give a
graceful pose to the head, and the exercise
of the muscles will help consume the extra
amount of fat. Lung exercises in breath
ing are the best cure for excessive stout
ness. The best time for this is before
dressing in the morning and after undress-
ing at night. Five or ten minutes exercise
every day will reduce the flesh in won
FULLY short time. Stand erect, with the
head and chin well up, and rise upon the
toes at each expansion, holding the breath
a moment, aud then expelling it forcibly
and completely, coming down on the heels
at the same time. Another good breathing
exercise is to draw in a full, deep breath.
Retain the breath while counting fifteen
and then slowly expel it.

OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 1.-THE bills of
the Chief of Police for procuring testimony
in cases against vlolators of the license ordi-
nance were not passed by the City Council
tonight. Councilman Bassett objected on
general principles to paying for testimony,
as it was a dangerous practice. He
moved that the bills, amounting to
$500, be rejected. An argument fol-
lowed and Chief Lloyd was called on
for an explanation. He said that nothing
was paid to these witnesses unless a con-
viction were obtained, and that the cost
did not represent 25 per cent of the amount
recovered to the city, OF fines in
