Those marvellous treasures, the gold
and silver pantries, which lie close to-
gether in the northeast corner of Wind
sor castle, at the foot of the Prince of
Wales tower, We're until recent years
very frequently visited by the queen,
who. with her housewifely love Of de-
tail, never considered it beneath her
dignity to make intimate acquaintance
with the vast quantity Of articles in the
precious metals, which have either been
personal gifts to herself or form a he
reditary appanage to her state. Even
lately her majesty has visited her pan
tries in her wheel chair, and the present
arrangement Of the multitude of objects
therein has been made entirely with her
personal approval. Apart from the in
terest which necessarily attaches to ar
ticles which are in daily and intimate
use by the queen, the plate at Windsor
castle is acknowledged the finest collec-
ton in the world and is more than
worthy of consideration.
The two SO called pantries-which in
reality are strong rooms Of the most sp-
proved and well arranged kind-are
from one another by the plate
cleaning rooms, which are furnished
with all kinds Of known appliances for
the adequate polishing and furnishing
of every kind Of rare and delicate gold
smith'swork- All the royal plate is car
ried to these rooms in rotation and
whether in use or not, and the
system employed for giving it out and
receiving it back forms ample and re-
sponsible work for the yeomen Of the
pantries and their assistants, many Of
whom are veritable giants among men,
as the weights that have to be moved
are very often enormous. - Golfers

In many Of the great cities Of Europe
whenever great festival is about to
take place all the questionable and sus-
picious characters are urged" by the
police to take few days airing in the
country and to disappear for q time
from their accustomed haunts. This is
found preferable to putting them under
lock and key.
In Petersburg and Moscow and in vi
emma those who do not leave of their
own accord on being thus pressed are

Anything Noble Prom Nature.
For the stability and righteousness
OF our government we are accustomed
TO think we must pin our faith ON the
country people who live near TO ma
lures heart, writes Mrs Lyman Alb
bott in The Ladies' Home Journal, the
first Of series Of Peaceful Valley"
papers, which picture life in an ideal
rural community. but how many Of
them. she says, "seem to have learned
anything noble from her? Her beauty
does not refine them, her honesty does
not incite them to thoroughness, her
free handedness does not inspire them to
generosity-they become narrow and
sordid In the midst Of grandeur and lib
erality. They imagine there can te
nothing in life but work or play, toll
or rest, and they feel contempt for
those who play and rest. They have
never learned to mingle work and play,
toll and rest in due proportion, and they
cease to find any pleasure in life unless
they abandon work altogether. Like the
tired woman who wrote her own cpl
taph, they fancy heaven q place where
they can do nothing forever and ever.
This view Of life makes loafers in
the village as it makes them in the
cities. When different spirit has found
room to grow, a new order Of living
prevails. Life becomes something more
than slow grinding Of the mill, more
than burden, to be endured only be-
,ause IL cannot be at will laid down. It
becomes luxury as well as a necessi- /
~. Individuals combine. not for their
own advantage, but to multiply bene-
factions, and as strength increases by

worthy and ambitious advantage is only

Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.
One reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional.
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals" said one of
Chief Hazen's sleuthhounds recently.
When man sets out to get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves new plan On the con-
trary, he evidently thinks of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times.

best and copies the plan adopted very

string Of precedents to take as guides to
the course the criminal will probably
pursue.

Immensely i'll the business, was forg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind.
Il obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers
There was whole drawerful Of these,
and l went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
forger had got away in womans at
tire.
Il worked on the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol-
lowed it up until l finally got ON the
track and captured the criminal
The capture was regarded as a very
remarkable one, but, as a matter Of
fact, the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew. If he had
taken the precaution to burn that cut
ting, he might have escaped capture al

KLONDIKE RICHES.

Steamers arriving ct Seattle, Wash {,
from Alaska, bring the news of the dis
covery of the mother lode of the klor-
dixie. The discovery was made on No.
81 Eldorado by a man who was work
ing the placer on lay. A shot was
put in that threw out a large amount Of
rich quartz sprinkled heavily with gold
The ledge is 35 feet wide and has been
opened at three places along its course.
Since then it has been uncovered on
Skookum Gulch, fully as rich with the
ore all in place. On Skookum it was
found on one of the bench claims. So
rich is it that the money is to be made
by pounding strings of gold out of the
virgin rock on anyils. As soon as ex-
plosives are available this quartz vein
will be developed. 1t promises to
eclipse in treasure the productiveness
of even the placers.
Starting OF S!avin's location the ledge
has been traced in its full width in
westerly direction, santiDg towards FL
dorado, which it crosses, and continu-
ing down the left side of the stream
vsrges away from the river, then inter-
seeing Nugget Gulch. at claim No. 10,
Adams creek at No. 6, and Skookum
Gulch at No. 2, passes through the Be-
nanza, half mile below that point,
and across Klondike Mountain. Daw.
son is greatly excited over these dis
coyeries.
