THE QUEENS WEALTH.
Victoria Will BE the First EnGiish
Sovereign to Leave ANY
Property.

Her majesty Queen Victoria, will be
the first sovereign Of England who ever
had any money to leave to her family.
All Of her predecessors on the throne
bequeathed a choice assortment of
debts to their posterity. which parlia-
ment was called upon to make the peo-
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 maiesty's i'm
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
cessors with the condition that they
shall not be mortgaged or alieniated in
any way. The palace at Osborne will
probably be given to the queens fav-
orite daughter, Princess Beatrice, who
is also expected to inherit the fortunes
of the Empress Eugene.

GOLD MINING.
There Is Reason to Believe 1t May
Be Carried on Probably in
the Philippines.

At this distance and with the slight
exploratory work which has been car
ried on in the Philippine islands, says
the Engineering Magazine, the miner
ais that can be profitably exported are
best known. Mr.. George f. Becker in
his recent Investigation has given a
very clear view of the present mineral
exploration in the Philippines, and has
shown that gold is found in great
number of localities in the archipelago,
from northern Luzon to central Min
danao. In most cases the gold is
detrital, and is found either in existing
water courses or in deposits now de-
serted by the current. 1t is said that in
Mindanao some of the gravels are III
an elevated position and adapted to
hydraulic mining. There are no data
at hand which indicate decisively the
value of any of the placers, but the
fact that they are washed largely with
cocoanut shells for pans by the natives
is an Indication of either rich deposits
or quite coarse gold. In the province
of Abra, at the northern end of LuZon,
there are placers, and the River Abra
itself yields auriferous gravel. In LIE
Planto there are gold quartz veins as
we'll as gravels, and here also is the
best developed deposit of copper ores,
although these are also reported from
a great number OF localities on the is
lands of Luzon, Mindoro, Capul, Mas
bate, Panay and Mindanao. The last
island is practically unexplored and

Gold Production.

4 close race is that in gold production
in the United States, Australia and
South Africa. Last year the United
States lost the first place, but may be
expected to regain it. The figures for
1898 were: South Africa, $90,CO0,OO0;
Australia, SCI, 900, and the United
States, $65,7s2, 667 Australia, like this
country, is getting more gold from low
grade ores, and gold is also obtained
by dredging machinery from the ooze
at the bottom of streams. Australian
gold coins originally had greenish
tint, but the silver that caused it is now
extracted by chemical process.

By SURGERY.
Any Criminal Can So Alter Himself
In Stature AVS to Entirely Defy
Recognition.

One of a party of gentlemen lounging
in the office of a well-known New Or
leans physician a few evenings ago
propounded curious question, apro-
pos of conversation which had taken
a turn toward the bizarre, says the New
Orleans Times,Democrat.
Doctor" he said, wouldn't 1t be pos
sible for a man who had committed
some crime, for instance, and who had
strong motives for concealing his idenr
tity, to permanently alter his whole ap-
pearance by modern surgical meth

Certainly" replied the doctor. HE
could easily reduce his height, to begin
with, by the removal of couple of sec
tions of bone from his legs. The opera
ton is often performed in ordinary
surgery, and man who was, say five
feet eight, would look very different
when only five feet six But he could
be changed hey ond recognitionb by work
on the face alone. His forehead could
be made high and bold by the electric
needle. His ears could be made to
stand out or lie fiat, just as he desired,
and his nose nodded into any shape
from pug to high Roman. The en-
tire expression of the mouth can be
altered by putting deep wrinkles in
each corner. and the eyes equally trans
formed by modifying the general direc-
tion of the brows. All the opera tons
would be of a minor character, and two
months would be sufficient for the Job.
At the end of that time a mans own
mother wouldn't know him, and he
could revisit the scene of his crime with
i1npunity. The thing is perfectly feast

few little things stand in the way @.

time and money, and the difficulty OF
finding secluded quarters and a skillful
surgeon willing to lend himself to the

HISTORY OF THE DONKEY.
In the Far East the Dimin utive AMI
NAL Has the Appreciation of
All Glasses.

The best dOnkeys come from Arabia
They have clean, smooth coats, hold
their heads high and are used only for
riding purposes. Many are sent to Per-
STA, where they sell for high sums. They
are we'll looked after and their harness
ings are of the richest.
In the far east the donkey for CEN
turtles has received the appreciation of
all classes. A fine Arab steed, used
solely for the saddle, exists in Syria and
smaller kind is devoted to the use of
the women when they wish to ride
abroad.
AS one goes farther east the dom
keys diminish in stature, and in India
the tiny animal called donkey is used
only by the people of the lower caste.
Europe, Malta and Spain supply the
finest donkeys, and in parts of Italy and
France good specimens may be Sc
cured.
Although the donkey was known in
England in the reign of the earlier Sax
ons, it was not common, for it became
extinct till the reign of Elizabeth. The
wild origin of the donkey is supposed
to have been the koulan or onager,
which exists in herds in Persia and sim
liar lands. The skin is used for MAX
ing shagreen leather. The donkey is
coming into general favor abroad, and
even America may soon become accus-
toned to seeing children driving dom
key carts or invalids taking a much
needed airing drawn by the patient lit
tie animals, which make good pets and
are SO much less expensive than q

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Chicago contrac-
tors and builders made an open dec
laration of war last night on the
trades unions, charging them with
causing the present apathy in build
ing operations in the city and gripping
municipal growth. An ultimatum set
ting forth the employers view of the
situation and stating that terms on
which labor must meet capital after
Jan. 1, 1900, was drawn up and pre-
scented to the building trades council.
The council referred the resolution to
its arbitration committee. The COM
munication from the employers is
thought to foreshadow the greatest
struggle in which purely local labor or
carnations ever have become involved.
