PREPARING CAvIARE
Something About One of the Leading
 Industries of Russia.


 The most valuable products of the fish industry in Russia are cod liver oil and cayiare Russian caviare is obtained mainly from sturgeon. In the Volga district the white sturgeon leads for the high quality of its roe, and next comes the common sturgeon. The United States eonsul-general at St. Petersburg says that although the prep aration of caviare does not differ from that in other countries, it's superiority being due to the fine quality of the roe, he has studied the process of its manipulation, which is as follows:
 When a stranger is admitted into the fishing section where caviare is pre- pared he finds it supplied with a num- Der of troughs, wooden tubs and vats, a stand looking like bench with upper frame open, on which is placed the freshly-salted caviare in order to sep arate it from the superfuous brine. There is also very important inple- ment-the caviare press-with which the pressed cayiare is prepared. On the walls hang the caviare sieyes, consist 1 ing of wooden frames and nets of strong cords. The workmen separate the cav fare from the egg bags in which it is in- closed by rubbing it with the hand through a sieve into a vat The egg skin does not go through, but remains on the surface of the sieve. When the fish are in the first stage of decompo- sition the egg skins get so soft that they can be separated from the roe, and from these the low grades of caviare are made. Next, in the salting of the cayiare, it is sa1ted only with brine made of fine salt.
 Ilhe difference in "fresh" caviare is caused by the smaller or greater quanti- ties of salt contained in the brine, and this is regulated to meet the length of time the caviare is to be kept. The fresh brine is kept in large wooden tubs, and the fine, clean salt used for the prepara- tion of the brine is put into small bar re1s. The superfluous brine is used again. Immediately after the eggs have been rubbed through the sieves they are put through the brine, and as soon as they are deprived of the superauous salt they are placed in tin jars or cans and small wooden kegs; ana the so- called fresh cagiare, which is high- priced, is ready for market. The cheap CT kind is cured in the brine and then put into linen bags and pressed This is called pressed caviare. The roe should not be taken from the fish be- fore the third or fourth year, when it it Is ripe and grown to it's full size. Many fish are cut before the roe is ripe, and in such cases the roe must be used immediately. This is one reason why fresh caviare can be obtained at all times. During the ten months of re- cent year Russia exported 4,658,448 pounds of pressed caviare and ,904 pounds of fresh caviare-Journal of the Society of Arts.

There was no regular or properly or ganized postal service threescore years ago, and the price paid for the convey ance of the mails was enormous, peo- pie being compelled 10 pay as much as 30 and 40 cents for the transport of letter for few miles only. It was not until 1889 that penny postage was introduced, and the success of the scheme, so widely denounced at that time, may be gathered from the fact that during the 12 months which have just been brought to close, no less than 2,323, ,839,610 letters, postal cards and parcels have been delivered in the United Kingdom through the post of flee.
 In 1897 there were no railroads, and no steamships. The journey from Liv' erpool to London was accomplished by means of "eoach-and-four, while the trip across the Atlantic to New York was regarded as a quick one if done within six weeks under sail, in lieu of the six days which it takes to-day by steam.

Photography, electric light, telephones, photographs, etc, were all unknown when she became queen, and the first entry of an iron built ship on Lloyd's register was made when Queen Victoria's reign was only six weeks old, while during the three score years which have elapsed since then Great Britain's commercial ton mage has increased by close upon LOGO per cent.
 1t was not until several years after the birth of the prince of Wales that chloroform and other anaesthetics came into use for surgical operations, and, though it is scarcely credible, within the memory of Victoria surgeons have been obliged, after amputations, to re- sort to the same barbarous methods as those practiced in dealing with the wounded during the battle of Trafal- gar-namely, to plunge the bleeding stumps into hot pitch to stay the hem orrhage.
 Thousands upon thousands of hos pitals and analogous charitable insti- tutions have been called into existence in the British empire during the last threescore years, partly through the influence of the queen herself, and part ly through that of her eldest sor, the prince of Wales, the people having been taught by their illustrious ruler, and by her children as well, to believe that the best and surest way to roys1 favor was to devote money to the relief of those of their fellow citizens in want and misery.

QUEEN YICTORIA'S JUBILEE.
Only Four Who Were Present Her Coronation Are Now the Land

NELSON. LEICESTER, GLADSTONE, WLLIERs
What the Celebration Will Be LeHow England
 Victoria Was Queen.
Copyright. 1871

Queen Victoria has outlived nearly all of her contemporaries. This is per haps not a. fresh piece of news. But it is brought to mind just now in pc culiarly vivid manner by the fact that of all those peers and personages who attended the coronation of her maj esty, only four remain to figure in the great diamond celebration which will be held in Westminster abbey on June 19 next.
 They are Earl Nelson, who, as a 13-year-old peer donned his silver coro- net for the only time in his life at the moment when the archbishop of Can terbury solemnly placed the crown of Great Britain upon the head of the queen; the patriarchal earl of Leicester, who acted on that occasion as page of honor and trainbearer to the sovereign s uncle, the old duke of Sussex; Mir Gladstone, now in his eighty-eighth year, and MT. Villiers, ''the Father of the House," who, at the age of 95, still

 If at that moment her lip commences to culver and tears unbidden well up to her eyes and stream down her wrinkled cheeks no one need feel in the least surprised. For, let alone the changes that have been wrought dur ing the threescore years that have elapsed since she first ascended the throne, she cannot but sorrow over the disappearance of many of those who were present at her golden jubilee in the selfsame abbey only ten years back She will look in vain for her gallant and stalwart son-in-law. Em- peror Frederick of Germany, the mo- blest figure of the pageant in 1887, and his tragic death will be recalled to her memory by the widows weeds worn by her eldest daughter, the dowager empress of Germany.
 The same sombre garments of Prin- cess Beatrice will revive the sense of the loss which she sustained through the death of Prince Henry of Batten- berg. Gone, too, are her majesty's son in-law Louis, the burly granddulxe of Hesse, her brother-in-law, the late duke regnaut of -Coburg- Gotha, and her favorite grandson, the duke of Clarence. She will likewise look in vain for ex-King Amadeus of Spain, duke of Aosta, who represented King Humbert at her golden jubilee, and for the ill-fated Crown Prince Rudolph, who attended the celebration in behalf of his father, the emperor of Austria and of Hungary. Nor are these the only shadows which will at that mo- ment weigh down her heart and de press her spirits.

Recognfzed,

Although Lord Tennyson hated the toadyism of those who love a lion, he did not always avoid his kind. At one time he fell in with party of tourists who were travelling in the highlands, and made himself indispensable to their daily pleasure. Yet they did not know who he was, and when gentleman who had met him at length joined the party, they fell upon him with entreaties. "Who Is that gentleman?" they be- sought him. "He has been the life and soul of the party, and we cannot get clew to his name. He has baffied us in every way. He has torn his name from his baggage, and out of the book he was reading" And the newcomer told, much to Tennyson's disgust. But not always were there those who were able to betray him. One day tourist in Scotland asked another who that fine- looking gentleman could be. That's Alfred Tennyson,s was the reply, ''the American et.''-Youth's Companion.

Gladstone 60 years ago.

memorable visit of the prince of Wales to India, whenever the native princes in their excess of enthusiastic loyalty expressed their intentions of erecting costly statues and monuments to the queen in their dominions as a memorial of his stay he invariably urged them to devote the money instead to the construction of charitable institutions, explaining that it was by relieving the distressed and the less fortunate of the sovereign's Heges that they would best please her majesty and himself. The result is that to-day in India some splendidly-equipped hospital or charity marks every town and city in which Albert Edward halted during his prog ress through England's great oriental empire, just one and twenty years ago.
 The same policy has been pursued at home, and by this means millions upon millions of dollars, which would other wise have remained in the pock- cts of their donors or been hoard ed in banks, have been Iavished upon charity and philanthrophy. and it is in keeping with the entire tenor of the reign of Queen Vic toria that the sixtieth anniversary of her accession to to the throne should by her particular wish-so eloquently ex- pressed by the prince of Wa1es-be sig nalized by gifts to the poor, to the hos pitals and to philanthropic undertak- ings of every kind. Itis fitting climax to her glorious reign, which has seen so many marvellous changes and such phenomenal progress.

OoCoNINo's WONDER

The Scene of One of Natures Most
 Interesting sights--visited by
 Thousands of People.
 But few seem to realize the fact that situated about sixty-five miles north of Flagstaff. and within the limits of Coconino county, is the greatest curi- osity m the known world. It is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and the word grand falls short of its mean ing when used in connection with this wonder. No tongue can tell. no pen describe. no artist can paint it's gran deur and beauties. The scientist, the philosopher and geologist have all gone and stood upon its awning brinks, looked with amazemsnt for hours and days into the mighty depths beneath, and gone away convinced that finite mind cannot comprehend its awfulness. No human being can gaze upon it without being impressed with Natures God. So immense are its walls, so deep its chasm that moan- tain after mountain could be swallowed by this mighty abyss. People from all over the civilized world have gone to see this magnificent wonder. and none have ever regretted their visit. Hundreds of curiosities aae to be seen at one glance of the eye. and indeed there is so much in sight that one cannot behold the half. So great. marvellous, and almost inspiring are the sights, that those who have once seen the Canyon are anxious to get another view of it. Aside from its curiosities and other points of interest, it has afforded field for the pros pector--indeed at one time It was thought that it was rich in mineral. A great many mineral seekers have prospected its mountains and caves. and found many specimens of ditfer- ent kinds of ore. and quite a number If claims have been located, and some worked, but as yet it has not proven a field for investments. That there is ore within the walls of the Grand Can yon none doubt. and if railroad is built from Flagstaff. or some other town along the line of the A. & F. road. mining will be one of the main industries of this section. A great deal has been said and written regard ing the Canyon. but ss long as men exists oa this earth, the tourist and curiosity seeker will visit this noted spot. We, who live so near. cannot realize that we have within our county the greatest. grandest and most won derful curiosity on earth, and our city is, and will continue to be. the gate way to it. Each year the travel to 1t increases. A daily stage line con meets Flagstaff with the Canyon, and the expenses of visiting it is certainly small. The Yosemite Valley, the Natural Caves in Kentucky and the Niagara Falls fail to afford snch sub limity and scenery as the Grand Cam yon, and no spot of country in the world can lay claim to such wonder as Coconino county. It is worth the travel of thousands of miles, and the expenditure of hundreds of dollars to see it.
