Perhaps the United States navy

The inflow OF gold from Europe is
not quite so heavy as it was week
or two ago, but it is still under way.
The actual movement since February
25, when the first gold was ordered
for this country, is about 6,0u0, 900.
This includes the amount now on the
way, and that which has just been
engaged for shipment hither, as wei!
as that which has arrived. Not all
of this gold goes directly to She treas
ury. Most Of it, indeed, reaches the
banks Immediately after its arrival,
but, of course, it will be at the dis.
pusal of the treasury if it is needed.
When the government sells bonds, if
1t has to sell any, this gold will be
furnished. In fact, both the treasury
and the hanks are in a strong position
to stand strain from war or any
thing else. The treasurer IS gold fund,

Home-Made Skin TOnics.

Greasiness of the skin generally
arises from lack of cleanliness or de-
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has an effect upon it, and very SIM
pie and entirely harmless one may be
made from one pint of rosewater, half
a pint of white wine vinegar and few
drops of the essence of rose. This
lotion should be applied with soft
linen rag or fine sponge.
Blackheads are difficult to get rid of
once they appear. They are caused by
the clogging of the pores of the skin
by dust or foreign matter. Alcohol, 30
per cent, applied by means of a piece
Of chamois skin, Will give tone to the
skin and remove unsuspected dust and
dirt, at the same time stimulating the
small glands and removing, by con-
stant use, the blackheads.
Tan and freckles may be removed by
the following lotion: Two drachms of
powdered sal ammoniac, four fluid
drachms of cologne water, one quart of
distilled water. AS home remedies
both lemon juice and borax are very
el1caclous for the same purpose.
For some skins which cannot stand
constant washing, but needing to be
cleansed after a walk or ride by other
means than soap and water, lait vir-
ginal is delicious preparation, and is
made as follows: One pint of rose,
orange-flower or elder-fiower water,
half an ounce Of the simple tincture Of
benzoin and ten drops Of the tincture
Of myrrh.
After exposure to harsh or chilling
wind it is well before retiring to rub
a quantity of fresh cream on the face,
removing after five or ten minutes, to
be again applied, followed by gener-
GUS putting of rice powder. Remove in
the morning by lait virginia. and tepid
water.

Queen WIlheImIua.

Queen Wilhelmina's well-known dis
inclination to provide Holland with a
prince consort by marrying is said by
knowing ones in European courts to
have tangible practical reason.
/ The young Queen is now eighteen
years old and is to be formally crown
ed this year and assume control of the
fat, rich little kingdom so long admin
istered by Queen Regent Emma Not
having yet tasted the bitter with the
sweets of power, Wilhelmina is in no
hurry as yet to contemplate giving up
the reins of the kingdom.
If she should marry and begin at
once, in the provident Dutch way. sup
plying Holland with heirs of the royal
house, some of them would doubtless
be boys. The eldest son of Queen Will
helmina would, upon his eighteenth
year, succeed her on the throne.
The Dutch law does not contemplate
the possibility of such a case as that
of Queen Victoria, who has ruled for
thirty-five years beyond the legal ma
jority of the English Crown Prince. If
this were the law of Holland possibly
Wilhelmina would have less objection
to matrimony.

A Magnetic Island.

Sailors have long told tales of mag
netic islands which lure ships on to
wreck by affecting their compasses. At
these accounts the scientists have
scoffed.
Scientists have In their time scoffed
at a great many things since proved
true. It's not so many years since
mathematicians gravely proved by X

And the scientists were wrong who

lands An island. not far away from
civilization, and recently discovered,
but near the coast of Europe and
known for centuries to the geograph-
ers, has this quality. This is the is
land of Bornholm, which belongs to
Denmark, and lies in the Baltic Sea
near the shore of Prussia.
The power of attraction, which
comes from this island, alters consider

China's ynssnI State.

The partition Of China will throw
open to the world its vassal state,
Thibet, a country famous for its churl-
lsh and cruel inhabitants. The Chinese
yellow book describes it with compara-
tive detail, and says that it is very
poor, but rich in minerals, which
none are asowed to use. Strange to
say, the women Of the land enjoy
more freedom than their sisters in
China or India, and are said to be
comely and intelligent. The records
declare that Thibet was more populous
and prosperous in ancient times, when
1t paid a handsome tribute annually
to the Chinese kings or emperors.

WHITEHEAD TORPEDO,

able. The same inventor later on filed
kegs with gunpowder and arranged his
mechanism so that the powder would
be ignited when the kegs came in con-
tact with anything in their course. A
number of these kegs were set adrift
in the Delaware and exploded among
the ice, creating great CONSERVATION
among the British seamen, who stood
for hours firing at everything that
fioated down the stream. This fight
was nick-named the Battle of the
Kegs"
Various improvements were made in
these engines of war, but they were all
more or less crude. During the civil
war they played an important part in
the defense Of harbors and rivers, and
suggested the possibility of very eff
cient weapon of offense and defense.
Years of study and experiment and the
expenditure of thousands of dollars
have resulted in the perfected torpedo
of to-day, containing in its slim, shin
Ing body more wondrous mechanism
and resource than seemed possible to
the uninitiated. A miniature battle
ship in itself, with magazines and a
silent little gunner, who only fires at
the right moment; pilot, who gets
his instructions before starting on his
voyage and conducts his ship by the
course laid out; an engineer force that
works silently and effectively, with
never a thought of the danger to be
encountered, all working in unison for
one common cause, none human, but
all the result of mans ingenuity
When one stands on one of the lower
decks of the modern man-of-war and
sees this beautiful war engine resting
on its cradles, its long, shining, cigar
shaped body appeals to the lmagina-
ton; but when one has knowledge of
the stored-up energy within the steel
clad body it seems as if the age of
miracles had returned.
