A GREAT HElRESS.
Daughter of Princess Beatrice TO Inherit
from Eugene and Victoria.


The very latest news in woman's
realm, is that the only daughter OF
Princess Beatrice of England and of the
late Prince Henry of Battenb berg will,
some day be great heiress. 1t has
been stated on good authority that the
ex-Empress Eugene by her latest vii
leaves the greater portion of her for
tune to the charming little lady. She
is a great favorite of the eX-empress
and is, by the way, a namesake of both
Empress Eugene and of her grand
mother, Queen Victoria, being named
Victoria Eugene. Princess Beatrice
has for years been the greatest possible
favorite of the illustrious Eugenie; il
fact, even before the late Prince I'm
perial and Princess Beatrice were
sweethearts. Every woman is familiar
with the sad, sweet story of older PEG
pic deciding that the two were "toc
young" to get married. Prince I'M
perial went to Africa, and alas! met his
death.
Princess Beatrice and her three
young children have been invited tc
soon enjoy a yachting trip with ex'
Empress Eugene upon her yacht, the
Thistle, and most enjoyable time il
anticipated.
1t is not yet generally known that
Queen Victoria has by her latest viii
left $500, 900 to her favorite daughter
/ Princess Beatrice; also, it is rumorec
that she bequeathed her Osborne ant
| Balmoral.
The fortunate little Victoria Eu
genie" of course, will come in for hel
/ share of this fortune, dividing, o.
course. with her two brothers, one o
whom is younger and the other oldei
than herself.-London Spectator.

LIVES LOST ON THE LAKES.
Disasters OF Last Season Much Below the
AveragGof Previous Years

Sixty-six lives were lost in navigat-
ing the great lakes during the season
now closing. Compared with previous
years this list is much below the av-
erage. There have been many storms,
but owing in a large degree to good
luck vessels have escaped. Even rotten
old hulks have succeeded in lodging
the storms, and coming into port time
after time in safety. Another cause for
the lessening of disasters is the i'm
proved construction of lake boats.
The most serious disaster was the
wrecking of the schooner Waukesha off
Muskegon on November 7, by which
six lives were sacrificed by the DISC
bedience of the crew, who let go the
anchors when the boat was riding out
gale on Ice shore.
Next in point of numbers was the
loss of the schooner Mary d. Aver on
May II. The schooner Sumatra foun,
dered off Milwaukee on September 4
carrying down four seamen. A boiler
explosion on the Rhoda Stewart of
Alpena ended three lives, and three were
burned with the City of Kalamazoo on
November 30. On July the schooner
Little Wissahickon went down, taking
the captain and two of his crew. The
captains of the Aver and the Little
Wissahickon endeavored to save theii
craft, but instead lost their lives.
Twenty-six sailors fell overheard and
were drowned Six fell throupb oner
matches and were killed. One diver
was suffocated when at work on the
Cayuga. Miscellaneous causes make III
the balance of the death list of &c.
But one passenger of the large mum.
Der carried by lake steamers was lost
1t will never be known whether this
passenger fell overheard or committed
suicide, but it is believed to be a case
| of suicide.-Chicago Tribune.

ike, whatever remarks people might
make about it, Why, then, hesitate

longer. lie would pocket his pride, do
what seemed for the best, and trust
Providence for the result.
With this resolve John went home,
feeling more like a man than he had for
weeks. Is he entered the house, he laid
aside his coat, walked up to his wife
ard kissed her. saying, smilingly: I
am ready for work. Install me in the
kitchen Teach me how to cook and
care for the house and baby, and viii
sec what we can do"
THANK you, John" she replied, with
a kiss which sealed the arrangement.
They were to begin on Monday Morn
ing; and when the morning came John
was early up. prepared the breakfast,
ate heartily of the plain food, then got
cut the tubs and set about doing Nom
GAYS washing. He was no man to do
half way what he had agreed to, nor to
do IL Whiningly. He had set himself 10
do the homework, and purposed to do
it to the best of his ability
Mrs. Smith went out and soon re-
turned with the work she had already
engaged Thus the new arrangement
commenced. 1t worked capitally. Mrs.
Smiths reputation and skill brought in
mere work than her own hands coald
possibly do. Help was engaged-at
first one girl, then two, then four, 5hen
half dozen; and so in a few months
Mrs. Smith found herself at the head of
n large and profitable dressmaking es-
adjustment. Her success was marvel
Gus. Her business capacity was Of the
highest order. Her bank account grew
rapidly. The question of support for
the home was solved. John was con-
Yineed that his wife was wiser woman
than he had formerly taken her to be.
He was satisfied.
How did John succeed in housekeep-
ing? Admirably. His house was a
model of neatness and good order. This
kind of work fitted him to perfection.
Nor was he ashamed of it, either. When
his neighbors attempted to joke him
about his domestic arrangements he
never WINGED. but hurled back the
truth, too well known to be disputed:
ut would be better for a good many
OF you to do likewise"

NEEDLESS IMPORTS.
California Imports Products That Should
Come from the State Itself.


Come from the State Itself.
In the second list are many of the
commonest articles of consumption,
which California might readily produce
at home, but for which it sends mil
lions Of dollars abroad each year. The
imports of pork and its products range
as high as $s,000,000 or $4,000, 900
each year. Condensed milk is not only
a very important article OF consump-
ton in mining camps and great
ri nches, but is largely shipped abroad
for the Asiatic trade. 1t is brought
across the continent from New Jer-
sey. California also sends beyond it,
borders from S2O,OOO,OOO to SOS, OOO,-
900 annually for the item of sugar,
which should not only be produced in
sufficient quantities to supply con-
sumption, but for export as well.
1t is a curious fact that many of the
M est fruit preserves sold in San Fran
cisco bear French and Italian labels,
and that the supply of canned sweet
corn comes mostly from Maine. Is
senlal oils made from the Feelings Of
citrus fruits are also imported II Is
not uncommon to find orange marina
lade which has been prepared in
Rochester, n. Y, the oranges having
been shipped eastward, and the manu-
featured product westward, at cost

The Management of sunken Vessels.

A new invention for finding the loca-
ton of sunken vessels is about to be
adopted by some of the steamship lines.
1t consists of buoy attached to long
rope, which is placed loosely in suit
able receptacle on the vessels deck. II
the ship sinks, the buoy floats upon the
surface, and the rope gradually uncoils
as the cage containing it descends.
The theory is very good one. but the
possibility Of entangling the rope in the
rigging OF the vessel and dragging the
buoy down with it is suggested by the
fact that when a ship goes down there
must be tremendous swirl and sxasb-
ing about Of water, sufficient at least
10 make the usefulness Of buoy and
any ordinary rope attached to il very
slim indeed.-N. Y. Ledger.

A Maine Schooner In Trouble.

New York, March 12-The sugar lad
en- Boothbay, Me-, schooner Carleton Bell,
which sailed from Macoris on January
10, for this port, and was disabled ten
days later during a heavy gale, arrived
here this morning.
Capt Tibbetts says that on January
49, in lat. 100, long. II. he encountered
terrific westerly gale accompanied by
very high sea, which lasted two days.
during which the schooner lost her rud-
der aud galley. had her boat stove and
received other damages. He Thought sh e
could make Bermuda for repairs and
bore away for that island. but he was
baffied by heavy gales, and was Obliged
to run for Nassau. That port was
reached in safety, and after making nee
essary repairs, the schooner sailed on
Mar CHI for New York.
