THE QUEENS WEALTH.

Sovereign to Leave Any
Property.

Her majesty, Queen Victoria, will be
the first sovereign Of England who ever
siaa any money to leave to her family,
All of her predecessors on the throne

debts to their posterity, which parlia-
ment was called upon to make the peoA
pie pay. But while our queen, permit
ted us to be taxed for the private obli-
cations of George ". and William ",
she herself paid all the debts of her
father, the duke of Kent.
There is food for much speculation as
to the disposition of her majestys inn
mense property. The bulk of it will, of
course, go to the prince of Wales, and
it has been asserted that the best es,
tates are entailed upon the queens sue.

the rock and fell asleep.
The snow was still falling, and it was
still quite dark when / awoke TO find
that the fire had died down and that we
were covered with white blanket

in fact, it seemed to me to have rather
contrary effect, and l therefore arose,
shook off the snow, and, heaping more
logs on the fire, soon had grand blaze

broke through his snow blanket and
joined me by the fire, where we stood,

without delay, we started for home
without waiting to feed ourselves or our
horses, being only too thankful to have
come thus safely out of our predica-

SERGEANT CHICKS BRAVE ACT
Entered Burning Building to Light
the Fuse of IA Bomb which
Failed to Explode

The adiutant general has received
from Mai. Gen. Otis report sumbit-
ted by Brig. Gen. S. p. Hughes provost
marshal general of Manila, in regard to
the fires started by the insurgents in
Manila on February % and %. Gen.
Hughes calls attention to heroic act
performed by an enlisted man of the
United States army. 1t became neces-
sary to blow up some buildings 10 pre-
vent the spread of the flames, and in re-
fer,,ng to this Gen. Hughes says:
II wish to make mention of Sergt.
Leon II. Chick, battery II, Third Unit

der direction of Capt w. L. Wood, chief
of ordnance in placing and firing the
powder cartridge. The fuse of the see
ond cartridge failed, and the building

Chick simply asked, when it became APP
parent that the first fuse had prob
nbly failed, if Capt. Wood wished the
fuse replaced, and on receiving an af-
firmative answer he entered the fire
trap, renewed the fuse and caused the
explosion of the cartridge, which so
wrecked the building as to enable the
fire to be checked with the means then
at hand. This quiet discharge of so
perilous daty is, in my opinion, worthy
Of special recognition, and | therefore
recommend Sergt. Chick for the ap-
pointment of ordnance sergeant, which

and also that he be granted a certificate
of merit"
In forwarding the report to the ad-
jutant general of the army Gen. Otis
says:
Gen. Hughes might have added in
his report that he was present in per-
son with his troops during the entire
period covered in this report and di-
rected in person all operations. His
tact and unceasing vigilance saved the
city from confagration and possibly
preserved the lives of the inhabitants. +"

Is the best protected in the world. The

monastery consists in reality of six
churches, which are completely filled
with statues Of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mount
ed huge guns, which in the time Of the
Crimean war were directed against the
British White sea squadron. The monks
who inhabited the monastery at that

granite walls while the shells were fly

FEsTINGCHE QUALITY OF AIR.

Once year is quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the escape

pf doing this-the peppermint test and
smoke test. The latter, says Chicago
Exchange, is regarded as the most alb

such test Is made the regular escapes

fs pumped into the pipes from the roof
For this purpose there is special ma
chine which combines furnace and a
force pump. In the little furnace are
put old rags or discarded Christmas
trees, or anything which will make q
fine smudge. AS soon as these are in
good smoking condition the smudge is
forced down into the pipe and tour
|of examination is made. If the smoke
escapes at any point it can be detected
lat once.
The peppermint test Is made from
the roof also. The escapes are plugged
|up and then about a pint of peppermint
|oil is poured in the roof pipe, followed
by a bucket of hot water. The odor of
the peppermint is SO penetrating that
~ will quickly escape at any defective
spot. But the man who handles the
peppermint has to stay on the roof un-
