the city, except st. Giles the one which

the homeless multitudes on both sides of

sufferers. When thousands OF men were
hurrying to and fro with personal property
of every description, ii was impossible to
say whether a man had his own or
another's belongings, so the operation of
rosues were made easy. The point at
which the fire was stayed is now marked

There was nothing easier than Jnaking

that 1 should sell 1t to him. He offered me

stopped In 1872 Hamburg the great COM
mercial emporium of Northern Germany,
was almost ruined by a fire among its
warehouses which destroyed property to
the amount of $35 900, 900. Seven years be-

were blotted out the loss being variously
estimated at from 100000 to $50 1000.

the good results or the mining boom of 1S49,

point on which he was exceedingly sensi-

XMAS GIFT FOR THE QUEEN.
RULES TO BE OBSERVED IF You
MAKE HER MAJESTY A GIFT.

1t VIII Pass Five PeOple-Un1ess All
Approve 1t Will Be Thrown Away
without an Acknowledgement
Red, Scarlet or Purple.
If you think of giving Queen Victoria
a Christmas gift, there are certain things
YOU must bear in mind. Any one can send
Victoria present, but only few pres
ents are accepted and even the honor of
an acknowledgement is denied
Many thousands of Queen Victoria's sub
iects who have addressed private letters
to her majesty and have never received a
reply have often wondered why they have
not. Since it is the right of every one to
address a letter to the sovereign when he
has sufficient reason for doing So it is
not surprising that some wonderment, and
even bitterness, is experienced when, after
a reasonable time, an earnest appeal,
marked private" brings no reply what
soever. But whenever a letter of any ma
ture addressed to the queen remains I'M
answered 1t is due to the fault of the SUBJ
ject, and not of the sovereign, and for the
simple reason that persons who are unac-
quainted with the details of court etiquette
do not take the trouble when writing to
the queen to familarze themselves with
the requirements covering such matters.
Usually the letters are properly addressed,
and as the writer thinks, properly folded
and dispatched.
But in folding the letter is where the
fatal error is made, for the queen never,
under any circumstances, reads a folded
sheet of paper If by any chance, or
through the Importance of a cause, let
ter is handed to her majesty and the sheet
is folded, it is Immediately thrown to the
floor without even a second glance. This
is not permitted to occur often, however,
for the mistress of the robes now looks
over all the queens letters, even after
they have passed through the hands of
two private secretaries, before they are
taken to her majestys apartments.
\ sheet of thick white paper of ordinary
size, with envelope of same size, should be
used when writing to the queen. The color
does not matter so much, but, as the royal
taste prefers white paper, of course, 1t is
advisable that it should be used The
queen is particular about these small mat
ters, and anything that she is pleased to
