Windsor Castle Treasures.

Those marvellous trs2sRries, the gold and silver pantries, which lie close to- gether in the northeast corner of Wind- sor castle, at the foot of the Prince of Wales tower, were until recent years very frequently visited by the queen, who, with her housawifely love of de. tail, never considered t beneath her dignity to make intimate acquaintance with the vast quantity of articles in the precious metals, which have either been personal gifts to herself or form be- reditary appanage to her state. Even lately her ma]esty has visited her pan. tries i'll her wheel chair, and the present arrangement of the multitude of objects therein has been made entirely with her personal approval Apart from the in terest which necessarily attaches to ar. tieles which are in daily and intimate use by the queen, the plate at Windsor castle is acknowledged the finest collec- tion in the world and is more than worthy of consideration.
 The two so called psntries-whieh in reality are strong rooms of the most ap- proved and well arranged kind-are separated from one another by the plato cleaning rooms, which are furnished with all kinds of known appliances for the adequate polishing and furnishing of every kind of rare and delicate gold smith work. All the rayal plate is car ried to these rooms |: rossiicn and cleaned, whether ill use CT not and the system employed for giving it out and receiving 1t back forms ample and re- sponsible work for the yeomen of the pantries and their assistants, many of whom are yeritable giants among men, as the weights that have to be moved are very often enormous. - Collier $ Weekly

4 Train of nlackenards.

In many of the great cities of Europa whenever a great festival is about to take place all the questionable and sus- picious characters are urged by the police to take few days airing ill the country and to disappear for tinc from their accustomed haunts. This is found preferable to putting them under lock and key.
 In Petersburg and Moscow and in Vi enna those who do not leave of their own accord on being thus pressed ars shipped off by the police in q special train, and Japan has recently adopted the same excellent custom.
 Now, whenever popular pageant is about to take place the Soshi-no Eisha, or ttrain of blackguards, , may be seen steaming away into the country with its freight of known and suspected malefactors.

 uncie Mates Break.

One of our neighbors, Uncle Nate, as VIC call him, was greatly bothered by a whipporwi1l that came nearly every night and sat on rock in his back yard and sang his love song, or whatever it is, until Uncle Nate was nearly wild. Ono night lie lay awake, and, as he said, stood it just as long as he could, when he got up, and, taking down the old gun that was loaded with a fox charge, he went to the back door, and, drawing a bead on the rock, which he could dimly see in the faint starlight, blazed away. Then, in the pleasing consciousness of a good deed well done, he again sought his couch.
 In the morning his first care was to reload the old gun, as there was no tell ing when it would be needed After this task was finished he started for the back yard to gloat over the mangled re- mains of his tormentor, but what were his horror and disgust to find that in- stead of holding on the rock he had completely riddled his wife's best wash tub, which was turned bottom up about four feet from the rock.
 The disappointment was bad enough, but when Aunt Hannah came out and saw the ruin, Uncle Nate afterward de- clared, it was worse than the whippoor- will, and he made break for the barn, his usual haven of refuge in such cases.

There seems to be some uncertainty as to the size of our great mother The French orientalist, Henrion, member of the academy, however, fixed it with a precision satisfactory at least to him. self He gives the following table of the relative heights of several eminent historical personages:
 Adam was precisely l93 feet inches high
 Eve was precisely lls feet g. 75 inches high.

 Abraham was precisely 27 feet high. Moses was precisely l3 feet high.

The temperature of the atmosphere eools, on all average, about one degree for every 300 feet that we ascend or warns at the same rate as we descend
 The mean temperature at the north pole is and at the equator between so and 90 degrees. We can. therefore, get into temperature one degree colder for every 70 or so miles that we travel north, and in q temperature one degree warmer for every 70 or so miles that we travel south. Philadelphia Times.

Both are land girt seas; both are links in chain of cemmunica- tion between an east and west In both the chain Is broken by an isthmus. Both are of contracted extent when compared with great oceans, and ill consequence of these common features both present i'll an intensified form the advantages and the limitations, politi- cal and military, which condition the influence of sea power.
 This conclusion is notably true of the Mediterranean, as is shown by it's his tory. It is even more foreibly true of the Caribbean, partly because the con tour of it's shores does not, as i'll the Mediterranean peninsulas, thrust the power of the land so far and so sustain edly into the sea; partly because, from historical anteeedents already alluded to, ill the character of the first colo nists and from the shortness of the time the ground has been in civilized occupation, there does not exist in the Caribbean or i'll tho gulf of Mexico apart from the United States-any land power at all comparable to those great continental states of Europe whose strength lies in their armies far more than i'll their naYies.
 So far as national inclinations, as dis tinct from the cautious actions of states man, can be diseerned. in the Mediter. ranean at present the sea powers. Great Britain, France and Italy, are opposed to the land powers, Germany, Austria and Russia, and the latter dominate ae- tion. It cannot be so ill any near future in the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre- eminently tho domain of sea power. - Captain A. T. Mahan, U s. N., i'll Harper's Magazine.

 Such women should write Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo N.

On last Sunday night the Salvation
army held what they called a "coffin
meeting" and paraded the streets, carry
ing a coffin in their midst. The event
had been advertised beforehand, and
Mayor Taubman had notified the officers
OF the army that they would be arrested
il they appeared on the streets with the
coffin. They paraded anyway, in defiance
of his orders, and the officers were
arrested last Monday. They gave BOND for
their appearance next Monday, when
their case will come up for trial
Whether the charge is made to stick oil
not, the fact remains that the exhibition
was in very bad taste, and has been very
severely criticised as such. 1t looked toe
much like mockery of that which mosi
people hold in reverence and respect
There are some things in this life toe
sacred to be trified with, even by the Sal
