 A new society has been incorporated in this country called the Order of the Crown and only those can belong to it who can prove a lineal descent from some king or other, no matter whom.
 Let us see. Tho most notorious deb- auchees, bloodthirsty monsters and dis eased creatures of the modern age have existed from time to time in every one of the royal houses of Europe.
 Many of these kings have been infamous swindlers, gamblers and blaclxmailers.
 The taint of tho most horrible hereditary diseases known to modern medicine and surgery is i'll the veins of majority of them. Insanity in it's most violent form has existed or does now exist in most of them and there is a taint of eraziness in almost every one. The blood of the commonest elodhopping peasant i'll Eu- rope is cleaner and sounder than that of the descendant of any royal house and more to be desired ill one's veins. If we were descended from any of these old debauchees and monsters, fore heaven, we would be ashamed to tell it 1!

West Australian Gold.

The largest producer of tho world s gold is South Africa. Next comes Aus tralasia and third the United States. The amount of the output for the years 1897 and 1898 will be looked for with much interest. The vast gold discover ies in Alaska and in various parts of our west and northwest the past three years would undoubtedly make the United States the second of the world 8 gold countries only that ill Australia, too, heavy new finds have been made.
 The gold which has been coming in by the millions to San Francisco from Australasia is mostly from the colony of West Australia. There in 1896 finds were made which can only be compared to those of our own Creede and Cripple Creek districts. Up to January, 1897, tho West Australian gold output was about $500, GOO month. Then it began to grow ''by leaps and bounds, :" as the Perth Herald says. In January, 1897, the amount was i'll round numbers S600, 900. For the year 1897 the whole production will foot up in the neighbor- hood of 80, 900, O00 This from one Aus tralian colony is largo output. h. dustriaI interests in Australia, agTi cultural, mercantile and all branches, have received new impetus by the gold discoveries, and thousands of laborers have obtained employment. It is to bo sincerely hoped the same result will fol- low tho great gold discoveries on this continent.

A NTmtter of Taste.

Strict censors of morals claim that nothing ought to be printed or enacted on the dramatic stage that young lady i'll boarding school might not properly read. Advocates of tho artistic cult de- clare that the novelist and dramatist may properly deal with anything that takes place in the world of actuality; {; that they may analyze and depict any emotion of the human soul, whether it be conyentionally good or bad. They say that confning fiction and the drama in such straitlaced limits as the moral ists desire would take the life out of lit erature and art. These two opposing clans are ever warning against each oth- CT, and neither gains permanent victory over the other.
 It is true that Puritanism and aseeti- cism have q dwarfing effect on literature and art. Wherever a gloomy rigidity reigns there will be produced no play, picture or novel worth preserving. There is one view of the case, however, that does not seem to strike the con tending schools, A human being who is clean and right minded abhors by na- ture the unelean and the morbid in lit erature and art. He would not willing ly wallow i'll a gutter physically. No more would he willingly give his mind gutter bath. He turns by instinct to the pure, the wholesome and the beauti- ful. He would not willingly lie down and sleep in a smallpox ward. No moro will he enjoy mixing himself up with mental infection.
 Those who do enjoy mental nastiness and rottenness perhaps ought to be per mitted to indulge their tastes. The ami nal that fattens on putrid meat does not like wholesome food, but he has 0 right to live. The mental health and purity of person may be infallibly judged from the class of literature and plays he most enjoys. The world is wide enough for people of all classes Each to his taste.

How to Make Combination Picture.

Have you ever made combination picture? It's splendid way to put in these long winter evenings. "A Cluster of Babies" makes Q good subject for the girls, and '' Football Favorites" will do for the boys. The pictures can be clipped from the newspapers and the magazines. After the girls have a large collection of baby faces the pictures must be neatly trimmed and pasted on big sheet of paper so that the effect will be that of hundred or more babies looking out of window frame. Some are crying, some are smiling and some look pert and sauey If you are fond of birds, make combination picture of them, or you can have d flower garden if you wish. Gathering pictures of pub lie men is a good plan, too, for it fa- miliarizes one with celebrated faces.

Terrible White Ants.

Stories of the ravages of termites or "white ants, come from the curator of tho Australian museum at Sydney, says The Youths Companion. Some time ago they destroyed the roof of the mu- scum building, and it had to be re- placed with a covering composed large ly of steelan copper. Their work, be- ing carried on i'll tho interior of the timber. does not reveal itself until the structure is about ready to fallto pieces, and so it was only recently that the fac; came out that the ants had, ,.also de- stroyed the underpinhing of one of the important floors of the. museum.

The conditions on which England will lend China money to pay her in debtedness show distinctly that John Bull has not lost in the least his capaci- ty to look ont for his own interests. China will be required to guarantee that no other nation shall obtain any part of the Yang -tse- Kiang valley. She will also have to promise to let tho Burma rail road be extended through Yunnan. The third condition is one which British newspapers have trumpeted to the world as showing England's s noble generosity and disinterestedness. It is that four ad ditional ports shall bo opened to all na- tions on the same terms as to England herself This would sound fine indeed if it were not plain that by thus opening new treaty ports to all the world the commerce of China will be increased, her public revenues will be greatly en- larged, and England will be surer of getting her money back with interest

It is scarcely to be wondered at that the common, moro ignorant classes of the people in every country of Europe break out and riot against Jews occa- sionally. Jews are the leading finan- ciers and are among the leading artists and composers of music the leading authors, statesmen and scientific and professional men ir every nation. The race has made for itself this predomi- nance through sheer force of persistence and inherent intellectual power. To the blind prejudice of the ignorant and in- competent classes is added fierce jeal- ousy.

A game often played by French sehoolboys, but very little known in this country, is the following:
 Select two persons from tho party present and make them kueel on the floor facing each other at such dis tance that they 1caii- just touch finger tips by stretching out their arms
 To one of them is now handed a matchbox and to the other a match. Each player is now to take hold of his right foot with his right hand, and the game is to strike tho match. It can be done, but it is not easy.

The coal companies in a large bitumi- nous combination havo decided to intro duce the profit sharing system among the miners. It is hoped this will help abolish the periodical strikes that so often paralyze for time the coal in- dustry. If it is honestly and generously executed, the plan will no doubt help to produce better feeling between miners and their employers. There is ono feature of the coal mining system, however, which even profit sharing can not cope with. How can it stop oyerpro- duction and the consequent forcing down of coal in price to a point where both miners and operators lose money?
