THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY.

The people OF the HOSN
government on earth; the people VINO
have ploughed the seed of democracy
deep into the soil of four continents;
the people who have watched and
guarded the seed as it sprouted, and
its roots ran down TO the living waters
of self government; all Of these today
celebrate the anniversary of the birth
of the woman in whose name and by
whose authority the DEGREES Of this
powerful democracy go out to all parts
of the earth and seas.
An Englishman lately wrote regard
ing the British political fabric: 1T
is difficult to see what further extern
sions in the direction OF popular gov
eminent any partisan of Ochlocracy-
the rule OF the multitude could de-
wise"
Vastly weaker in direct official
power than any European monarch,
or any president Of the United States,
the British Queen still remains the
symbol, and emblem of perhaps the
strongest and wisest, and most far
reaching political force in the world,
one that dominates about four hundred
millions of people.
We, allied to the American branch
of this Teutonie race, frankly ac-
knowledge this, because it is true, and
we are gradually becoming prouder of
the racial lines which are drawn be-
yond the borders of nations or coun-
tries only, and embrace the whole
English speaking world. The Ar
kansas men who believes in Arkansas
only, as against the world, and the
Englishmen who believes in England
only as against the world, gradually
disappear together like Sam Weller's
post boy and donkey.
So today the men and women of
this great democracy charge their
glasses with health TO the Queen of
Democracy. More than this, they well
may include the lands, and the men
of ''the four new nations" and the
Islands of the Sea" whose allegiance
gives luster TO her reign. Here are a
few of KipIing's lines, which read
well today. 1t is in the toast:
ITO the health of our peoples people
To her well ploughed windy sea,
To the hush of our dread high-altars
Where the Abbey makes US We;
To the grist Of the slow ground ages,
To the gain that is yours and mine
To the Bank of the Open Credit,
To the Power-house of the Line"
ITO the smoke of hundred coasters,
To the sheep on a thousand hills,
To the sun that never bhsters.
To the rain that never chlls,
To the land of the waiting spring-time,
To our five meal. meat fed men,
To the tall deep bosomed women,
And the children nine and ten
ITO the homes of the floods and thun-
der,
To her pale dry healing blue
To the lift of the great Cape combers,
And the smell of the baked Karroo.
To the growl of the sluicing stamp
head
To the reef and the water gold,
To the last and the largest Empire,
To the map that is half unrolled!"
As Great Britain holds the COM
mercial destiny of the Far East under
the shotted guns of the most formid-
able feet the world has ever seen. and
cordially invites the Americans to
share in the profits that may be taken
out of it, even those of US Americans
who delight in twisting the Lions
tail, may drop that feeble pastime for
a moment, stand in line with the loyal
British, charge our glasses, and drink:
ITO the Queen. God bless her"

CALKiNG THE MATCHES.

How the Cargo Is kept Dry on Sail
ing Vessels and on Steamers.
When the loading OF d ship has been
completed and the matches have been
put on, every precaution is taken to
make them tight, SO as to keep the car
go dry during the voyage. The matches
are in sections, which rest on frames
laid across the hatchway. All the seams
around the coamings of the hatchway
and between the sections Of the hatch
are calked and then pitched or painted,
the entire hatch is then covered with
tarapulins, which are battened down at
the sides. The ship may be months at
sea. She may take over her bows solid
water that will sweep aft, submerging
her decks like a river, and she is likely
to have more or less water on deck at
any time. But none of it gets below.
The ships matches are as impervious to
water az her sides, says the New York
Sun.
On steamers when the matches are
put on they rest upon strips of rubber,
and they are secured by means of set
screws, making the hatch tight in sub
stantialIy the same manner that fruit
jar is sealed.

ROYALTY DANCED IN BALLET.
In the Good Old Days. 1t Was Con-

In the Good Old Days 1t Was Con-
sidered Proper in England.
Many of the mem ers of the English
royal family are knownto take a keen
interest in the drama, some Of them
even delighting to take part in theat
rical performances. AS far as is known,
however, they have never INDUCED in
ballet dancing on their own account.
It was different, however, in the days of
Henry VIII, for that jovial monarch
of the many wives actually encouraged
his daughter, Princess Mary, to appear
before the court as the principal dancer
il several ballets and pantOmimes.
When the princess first appeared in one
of these ballets she wore black Grape
mask, in the character of an Ethiopian
princess, but she soon became en-
boldened, and freely took her part as a
dancer in the court balls and pageants.
Princess Mary appeared before the
French ambassadors at Greenwich pal
ace in the spring Of 1927, with five of her
ladies in waiting, disguised in Icelandic
dresses, and the contemporary chron-
icles inform us that, with six lords in
the costume of the same country, she
"danced Justify about the hail. At
another banquet and masque, before
the same ambassadors, Princess Mary
issued from a cave with her seven
women, all appareled after the Roman
fashion, in rich cloth of gold and Grim
son tinSel

THE GIRL IN BUSINESS.

She Should Not Accept Gifts Nor So
cial Recognition from Employer.
'You may meet your employer So
cially," writes Ruth Ashmore, in an
article on "The Business Girl and Her
Employer" in Ladies' Home Journal
'but during the hours that you are in
the Office you are employed by him, and
you have no right to claim, and he has
no right to ask. any social recognition.
You can always be polite; you need not
be hard-hearted, and there can be,
without harm, an exchange Of pleasant
words. But during business hours
there is wisdom in attending to your
business and doing nothing else. Your
self-respect should not allow you to be
free in your manner with the different
clerks who are your companions, and
you should be wise enough not to have
a confidante in the Office
mo matter who your employer is,
you cannot afford to accept luncheons,
drives, flowers, or any special social rec
ognition from him. I do not mean that
all men are bad. Again, I thank God
there are thousands of good men, but
masculine human nature is weak, and
when things have gone wrong at home
there is an immense satisfaction to the
average man in getting a sweet SYM
pathy, which he probably does not de-
serve, from a pretty, charming girlwho
believes in him. But you are hired to
work, not to cater to the emotions of
your employer, and when you are doing
your work faithfully you are doing all
that you are paid for

1T WAS ABOUT A DOG.

An Apparently Earnest Argument
with a Continuous Beginning.
The man who was waiting for a train
and had nothing to do with an hour
walked down the avenue to see what he
could see, says the New York Sun. On
a corner stood four young men engaged
in apparently earnest argument. The
tall, slender one in a light coat waggled
a long forefinger at the others col
lectively, and said:
''Now, you take dawg-"
DO wan no dog" put in one of the
others.
''Wha' kim dog?" asked another.
The tall one Strengthened up, wabbled
bit, and returned to the argument.
You take dawg," he said.
"Whozh dog?" asked one of the other
three.
The man waiting for train walked
on out of hearing. He made several
blocks down the avenue and then turned
back. The four young men still stood
on the corner, and as he came near he
heard the tall one say:
Nov, you take a dwag."
yellow dog?" asked one of the
others.
"Wha'd take a dog for?" asked an
other.
The man walked on quickly, and as he
passed out of sound the last he heard
was:
''1ou take dwag."
Perhaps by now the argument has
reached specifications.

70 SURPASS NIAGARA.
An English Papers Account of an
American Project.

American Project.
Big as the Niagara scheme is, work
has just commenced upon a still larger
scheme Of water power development
near Massena, on the ST. Lawrence river,
United States of America, says Cham
bers' Journal It is in tended to develop
here 100000 horse power by taking ad-
vantage of the difference in level be-
tween the ST. Lawrence river and the
Grass river, flowing nearly parallel
to it at a distance of 31s miles. A big
canal is to be cut across the intervening
plateau, and a fail of water so feet in
height thus obtained on the banks of
the Grass river. The latter river will
itself form the "tail race" of the power
tation.
This scheme dwarfs the Niagara one,
since not only do the plans provide for
a greater amount Of power, but man is
going to do what nature has done for
him at Niagara-namely provide the
waterfall. The necessary capital for
carrying out this scheme has been pro-
vided, work has been commenced, and
it is hoped that some of the turbines
and dynamos will be working by De-
cember, 1898. If no unforeseen diff
Guilty occur, and if this scheme be COM
pleted by the date named, it will GER
tainly form one of the most remarka BILE
achievements of the century.

DEPOSIT OF DIAMONDS
Valuable Gems Found Associated
with Tin Ore in Australia.

with Tin Ore in Australian
An interesting occurrence of tin ore
and diamonds, which is believed to be
unique, is described in the recently-is-
sued report Of the department of mines
and agriculture of New South Wales for
1896. Gravel containing sseterite in
workable quantities, together with dia-
monds, was discovered last year at
Doggy camp, Is miles west Of Tingha.
which has been for some time a pro-
ductive tin field.
The pay streak at Doggy camp, which
is from 80 to 50 feet deep, averages from
two to seven feet in thickness, the
width of the lead not yet having been
ascertained. One load Of gravel yielded
SIS stones of 1S4 karats aggregate
weight and ~ loads furnished 600 kar-
at Of diamonds and tinstone at the rate
Of Is pounds per load. The pay streak
is a quartz pebble drift underlying a
large hill OF DasaIt. 4. h. PiIman, the
government geologist who examined
the occurrence, considers that the
basalt filed what was originally an
oval-shaped depression.
The gravel rests on granite, and gran
ite can be traced entirely around the
basalt. The diamonds are white and of
good quality, and it is thought that
when the gravel is drained the district
will make considerable production,

NO PATRIOTISM IN CHINA.
This Was Made Manifest in the War
with Japan.


with Japan.
AS for the patriotism of the Chinese,
if it ever existed, it is unquestiomably a
thing of the past, says the Illustrated
American. At the time of the war
with Japan, China had two squadrons,
the main or northern squadron. with
headquarters at Port Arthur and Wei
Hai-Wei, and the southern squadron.
composed of fine Armstrong cruisers,
Of gunboats and torpedo boats AS it
was clear that the Japanese would
carry the war into Manchuria and to-
ward the Gulf of Petchili, the southern
squadron was ordered to proceed north
ward and to reinforce the northern
fleet. Far from obeying, the com
handing admiral and his officers de-
cided that, being a great deal safer in
the south, they would quietly remain
there, and go up a river, the entrance
of which could be defended by torpedo
mines, which they hurried to Law. WHY.
in the name of Confucius, should thew
have exposed themselves for the sake
Of defending the northern provinces?
About the same time the Chinese gov
eminent being in need of money to
carry on the war decided that a small
tax would be imposed upon the tea plan
tations, most of whose proprietors are
wealthy, or at least well-to-do people.
But these patriotic citizens, in order
to avoid paying that small tax, begged
the foreign merchants to take the plan
tations in their names!

IN THE STEERAGE.
Human Nature Grows Very Brutal In
It's Aspect.

It's Aspect.
ri. Phelps Whitmarsh writes of "The
Storage of To-day" in Century. Mr..
Whitmarsh, who crossed the ocean in
the steerage himself, says: To me the
most noticeable thing about the life
was the ease with which the yoke of
civilization was thrown off. If condi-
tons be favorable. I opine that large
proportion of the steerage passengers
throw back to their Darwinian ancestry
about the third day out. Away from
home, country, and religious influences,
unrestrained by custom and conven-
tionality, bound by no laws of action,
and separated from all that force of
opinion so strong in the world ashore,
they let themselves go, and allow their
baser natures to run riot. No sooner
has the seasickness left them than they
growl and snarl over their food like
dogs, scrambling for the choice pieces,
and running off to their hunks with
them; they grow quarrelsome; their
talk is lewd and insulting; brute
strength is in the ascendant; and, with
out shame, both sexes show the animal
side of their natures. But most APP
parent and obnoxious are the filthy
habits into which many of them fall.
The sea seems utterly to demoraliZe
them. Some of them will remain for
days in their berths, where, without
changing their clothes. they eat, sleep,

QUEER BIRD NOW EXTINCT.
Discovered and Studied Only by Its
Oddly Con tructed SIzeletan

Oddly Constructed Skeleton.
Anauralist has lately brought to Eng
land the bones of an extinct bird new tc
science, which has received the name of
Geny ornis. He exhibited these very in
teresting specimens at the last meet
ing Of the Geological society, and made
a few remarks concerning the finding
of them in Lake Callanbolla, fon-erly
known as Lake Mulligan, in South Aus
tralia, says the Westminster Gazette.
He explained that the lakes which one
sees so abundantly marked in the map
are nothing more or less than dry clay
and salt pans, evidently very uncom-
Portable to camp near. The bones of
this extinct species are found there IN
great numbers, but owing to the ac-
ton of salt and water, which is found
a very little way below the surface,
the remains are very brittle and diff
cult to deal with. The circumstance
of so many being found in this one
lake bed is probably due to the birds
having been driven there en- masse In
a time of great drought in search of
water, for on the surface, there could
be traced the outlines of skeletons ly-
ing as they died, probably begged and
too weak to struggle further in search
of water. The feature that strikes the
ornithologist in these bones is the
shortness of the phalanges, clearly
showing that the suggestion which
has been made as to the GenyOrnis be-
ing a marsh bird is untenable, for such
a heavy bird would have needed very
long toes to tread on marshy ground.

A BIRD ON THE BONNET.
An Odd Experience Which May BE.
fall Any Woman.

fall Any Woman.
A new danger has been found to at
tend the wearing of dead birds on hats
and bonnets. A Shreveport (La.)
paper gives an account of a singular
occurrence near the town of Houghton,
not far from Shreveport. A young girl
of that place had bought in Shreveport
a hat of the latest style, ornamented
with golden bird. She had put on the
hat, which was fastened under her
chin with strings, and was going out
a little way into the country to show it
to a friend.
She was no sooner outside the town
than she noticed a large American
eagle flying around over her head, and
seeming to follow her. She was not
disturbed, although she thought it
strange.
Some seconds, later, however, she
was disturbed, indeed. when she felt
some great object descend upon her,
and the sharp talons of an eagle pierre
ing the sides of her head. She
screamed, and for a moment believed
herself to be drawn up into the air.
1t is scarcely possible, however, that
this could actually have taken place.
But it is certain that the young girl
presently found herself on the ground,
badly frightened and somewhat hurt,
and also minus her fine new hat with
the golden bird on it. This entire tri-
umph Of the milliner's art the eagle
had flown away with into the upper
air.
1t is needless to say that she never
recovered it; though whether the eagle
really enjoyed his meal of stuffed and
dyed bird may be doubted.

ADVICE ABOUT EATING.
Women Should Take More Time Be-

Women Should Take More Time be-
tween Meals.
1t wouldn't make so much difference
as to what a woman ate, says a publica-
ton which claims to be authority on
culinary topics, if she would only wait
long enough between meals to get hun
CRY, but she doesn't, and there's where
the trouble begins. Nature is a to-
naciCus old jade. Given time, she
viii digest and assimilate almost any
thing that the stomach can retain.
1t is well-known fact that spells of
adverse fortune are invariably accom-
panied by superior physical conditions,
Brokers' families never look so well as
during a panic. Heightened criminals
invariably come out of prison in better
health and face than they had when
they went in. And who has not re
marked the refinement of spirit and ma
ture born Of sorrow and temperance in
bereaved families. 1t is we'll worth the
expense Of trip to Carlsbad or AiX-les-
Bains-not only to take the waters, but
to learn how not to take the foods that
deform and destroy the body.
Unless a woman washes or works for
a living she doesn't need three meals
any day of her life. 1t takes systematic
work TO consume that much fuel En-
gineers are too clever to fill the furnace
with coal unless there is trip to make,
an elevator to run or work to do.
1t doesn't matter what a man looks
like, so long as he is decent and healthy,
but it is the duty of every gentiewoman
to be as good locking as her circum-
stances will permit. Women often eat
themselves ugly, i'll and brutal.
