QUEEN WCToRIA'S WEALTH.
british Ruler Not Near So Rich as
Popularity Supposed.

Popularity supposed.
Some o. our transatlantic visitors
are firmly convinced that the queen is
the possessor of enormous wealth. Even
in our own midst there is general be-
lief that her majesty is very rich-not
ranking in fortune, perhaps, with
Rothschild or duke of Westminster or
an Astor, but at all events rivaling a
Jay Gould of a Belt, and magnates of the
second degree The queen was rather
conspicuously poor for princess, and
people have spoken pitifully of her mar
row lot in her early days. Her majesty's
civil list is far from being exceptionally
great, and, indeed, it is so parceled out
that she has but small control of it.
The sovereigns of Austria-Hungary, of
Italy, of Prussia, of Russia and even of
Spain have larger incomes from the pub
lie treasury than she. The greater part
of her nominal income from the state is
appropriated to herhousehold expenses.
Moreover, she has been unfortunate in
not coming of rich family, so that her
estates might be built up by inheritance,
as is the case with continental mon
archs, and she has had many poor rela-
tons to provide for. 1t is said that the
prince consort left an estate of G750,0oo,
in which the queen shared largely, and
the Saxe-Coburg family is far from be-
ing in need. But in 1885 her majesty
private secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby
who ought to be good authority, said
of the queens private affairs: "She has
invested no money in ground rents, aol
does she possess a million to invest.
Yet the queen enjoys large income
from the duchy of Lancaster; also fol
the Is years of his minority she had the
custody of the prince of Wales Corn
wall estates. She owns 1882 acres o.
fairly productive lands in Great Britain
and possesses considerable property il
Germany. But all these known fact:
will not provide for the enormous es
tate with which she is credited. TIL,
probabilities are that her majesty
wealth has been exaggerated, but wha
it is will never be known, as the queen
last testament will never be probated

u red mans romance In November
last there died in the historic range
an old Yakima Indian warrior. Be
fore the spirit fed from the body of
the old brave he called to his side a
prospector known as "Dusch" Miller,
with whom he had been on more or
less friendly terms for many years,
and told him of what he termed a
great mineral ledge.
The Indian gave a minute descrip-
ton of the location and peculiar land.

directions, in fact, that Miller had no
difficulty in finding the ledge this
spring after the snow had partially
disappeared from the mour tain peaks.
The claim located by Miller consists
of ten to thirty-foot ledge, contain
ing copper, gold and silver. So rich
in mineral is the ore that some of the
big mining men Of Rossland and now
in Seattle predict that the ledge will
prove the richest discovered in the
Northwest. Nevada City Herald.

Rat Hunts by Farmers.

Farmers in the country around An.
derson, Ind, are inaugurating series
Of rat hunts which bid fair to rival the
old-fashioned sport of fox hunting.
During the past two months, rats
large, rats small, rats lean, fat and
otherwise, hundreds and thousands OF
them, have been invading that section.
They have overrUu everything, barns,d
homes, Outhouses and have done a.
great deal of damage. tits not known
where they came from or on what
score they are supposed to be a curse,
but their numerical strength has been
something that has attracted no end
of attention. It is feared that they
will iniure the wheat and corn when
it is stored in barns and cribs. The
farmers have theref ore organized q
rat killing club. The membership
runs up to about 10 persons, to say
nothing of rat dogsO and cats. They
will take rat outings every Sun day
and are supposed to kill all of the rats
off of one place every Sunday. All
kinds Of impleme nts will be brought
into use. Some armers estimate that
there are several thousand around
their places. It will take several
months to get around the entire circle.
That section off the country has never
been especial y encumbered with rats

Rubber Traes.

Rubber trees are often seen growing
ip to one very tall, spindling shoot,
without any disposition to branch; this
should be altered by pinching out the
Top bud in the fall, causing the plant
20 form other shoots. As a rule, the
rubber plant does not branch without
pinching out, under our system of Gull
turs, though one well-known florist is
familiar in the trade as the producer
Of naturally branching rubbers, with
out the pinching process. We should
hardly advise putting the variegated
rubber plant outside during summer,
because it Is so very susceptible to
leaf injury; indeed, we should not
recommend il as house plant, either.
When in perfect condition, the foliage
is very handsome, but it is extremely
subject to species of leaf blight
which, beginning in the creamy varie-
cation, gradually extends over the re
mainder Of the leaf This trouble at
tacks the plant even under the most
favorable conditions, though it is natu-
rally intensified by any check to
growth. No doubt it is the result Of
constitutional weakness, of which var
legation is often an evidence. Some
Of the large Wholesale florists have al
most given up growing the variegated
rubber for commercial purposes, on
account Of this trouble.-Rural New
! Yorker.

Morris avenue declared war few
days ago upon mouse which inhabit-

controvertible evidence that the mouse
was in the cupboard she seized the
rolling pin. The cupboard doors
were opened, and the mouse jumped
out, making straight for its assailant.
The woman lost her nerve, and looked
around for something upon which to
climb. The stove was the only thing
in sight. She gave an awful scream
and leaped upon the stove, which was
blazing hot. The soles Of her feet
