She Never Discharges One and Gets
Along Very Well with All or Them.
American housekeepers, who are foI-
ever wailing about the servant dues-
ton. will ind it interesting to know
how Queen Victoria. who keeps four
times as many domeestics as any one
in this continent manages them.
No servant is ever dismissed from n
royal palace. This is probably the rea-
son why we hear so little gossip of any
kind about her majesty household ar
rangements. The queen early made up
her mind that much of her comfort and
peace depended on the attitude taken
by her towards those with whom she
could not but be brought constantly i'll
to contact.
Accordingly, no domestic is ever en-
gagged without the strictest enquiry be-
ing made into his or her private char
acter and general qualifications for the
post about to be filled, and. should
mistake appear to have been made the
person in question is not sent away
with more or less good character, as
would be the case in most establish
ments. but he or she is simply moved
down Il step and given a position Of
less responsibility.
Matrimonial engagements are not
discouraged, providing the contracting
parties are considered thoroughly re-
spectacle. When a marriage is implin-
cnt the queen sends for the young wo-
man, and after a few kindly words of
advice. presents her with large bible.
which, it need hardly be said, soon be-
comes what is generally known as a
family bible. Also If the prospective
bride has been in the royal service
some time and has been distinguished
by good behavior, her trousseau is pro-
vided, and she is often provided with
small post. carrying with it a resi-
dcncc. Most of the royal lodges are &C.
cupied by couples who were once in
service at the castle.

Aid Steering.

The fly AT the masthead is often
ised as a sign to steer by, says writer
in st. Nicholas. 1t revolves on pivot
and hence. like n weather vane, shows
the direction from which the wind Is
blowing; whereas "A flag attached to a
halyard streams directly astern, or at
an angle more or less affected by the
speed and course of the vessel. a
glance at the fly having shown the
winds direction, a glance at the bin
nacle shows from what point of the
compass it comes. Then, by watching
the fly. and thus keeping the ship al
ways at the same angle to the wind,
You are able to keep her on her course.
The ships of different nations have
distinctive flies. The American and
the English fly is little triangular
pennon. German ships often have
small tapering bag at the masthead
and French vessels a dog yane'-a
line of corks with colored feathers on
wire.
Steering by the fly is one way Of
steering by the wind, but there are
other tricks for finding the wind point.
A sailor can find the point Of stiff

Mining Imtmrn Of MeN.co.

The outlook for the mining industry
in Mexico is extremely favorable. and
that nation with her wonderful mineral
resources is destined to take high rank
in the comparatively near future, For
many years the nation was handicap
ped with an unstable government, hut
the present administration has shown
that n stable government can lie main
tanned in that country and industrial
development can he safely prosecuted.
While 1t Is true that Mexican cual. as
far as at present known, is not what
might he termed first-clasS still it
makes n fairly good fuel, and the re-
marknble richness of the country in
other minerals compensates for The in
ferior quality of her coal. However. it
is more than possible that large areas
of comparatively good coal may yet be
discovered in that country: in fact.
items are published in the daily press
from time to time noting these d!scov-
cries of valuable coal seams. Many of
these items are manufactured out of
the Whole cloth. particularly those
which chronicle the discovery of coal
seams that are ''as good as pcnnsylvn-
MIA ant thracitc." or ''as good as the best
ronnc,lsvilic coking coal" Ii is possible
that anthracite of good quality may

Poor Milling.

When one has had occasion to have
much mill dirt or low grade ore treat
cd at different custom mills. he ceases
to wonder mt the small amount of de-
vclopment that has taken place in Il
number of old camps. The great won
der is that aS much development as
has taken place was possible. For
shftless, careless work we think the
average custom mill takes the lead.
Many Il hard working miner has sent
his dirt to mill, expecting TO receive
II little money. and, instead, has been
brought in debt. No wonder that such
work is both dishcariening and dis
gusting. The treatment of low grades
te-day offers a better and more profit
able field than mining itself. We be-
licyc the different processes now being
pushed to the front will at least result
