PLANTED BY TIE QUEEN.
Trees That Have Been Started by
Victoria Seem to Be Especial
ly Long Lived.

The trees plant ted in Great Britain by
her majesty and her immediate descend
ants, would, if they could be collected
together, form very fine grove; in fact,
almost wood, says the London Mail.
AS long ago as 1s45 the queen common
Grated her visit to the duke of Bucking-
ham, at Stowe, by plant 2g a tree in
the grounds, and the prince consort fol-
lowed her example.
Visitors to Lancaster will find hand
some oak near the fine old gateway
tower of Lancaster castle. On a copper
plate fastened to the palisades close by
it is related that the tree was planted
on October s, 1s4s, by the queen, on her
visit to the town of Lancaster. Another
oak, now some 80 feet high, grows in
front of Stoneleigh abbey. The queen
and prince consort stayed there for
three days in June, 1858, at the time
they opened Aston hall, and visited
Kenilworth and Warwick castle. They
were originally twin trees, but the one
planted by Prince Albert died.
Ihequeen seems especially successful
as tree planter, for the oak she plant
ed at Muckross, On the banks of Lake
Killarney; has far outgrown others that
were planted at the same time. The
'jarvey' always points it out to his
fares" as the queen s oak.

AN EDUCATIONAL ADVANCE.
The Increase OF Scholars In Our
Schools Is One-Half Greater
Than of Population.

The last report Of the United States
commissioner of education gives the
number of pupils enrolled in all kinds
and grades of schools in this country
in 1898 is 16,687,643, an increase over
the preceding year of a trife less than
100000. The registers of the colleges
and universities alone show & gain of
1000. To the average reader these
figures are too large to carry any com
prehensive meaning, He realizes that
a great number of children are receiv-
ing instruction, but he doesn't know
how many are being neglected. This
point is easily made clear.
The increase of population in 1895
was about two per cent, as nearly
as can be determined before the census
is taken. The above large figures re-
cord an increase of over three per cent
in the enrolment of educational insti-
tutions, both great anu small. Thus the
rate of increase in the school attend
ance is nearly one-ha1f larger than the
rate of increase of the population.
These data prove highly significant
and important point, namely, that the
American people are taking more pains
than ever before to give their children
the benefits of at least a common school
education. One could look for no bet
ter mark OF progress and the advance
of culture and nlightenment.-Bro

GREAT BELL OF ST. PAUL's
1t Tolls Only for Deaths in the Royal
Family and British High
Omcials. - 81

In the cathedral of st. Paul in Lon
don is a great bell on which the hours
are struck. When the other bells peal
from the belfry it is silent, and it
never rings on festal occasions. When
it does ring it rings alone, and Lon
doners know that some member of the
royal family is dead unless the bell
is tolling to announce the death of the
archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop
of London or Of a lord mayor of the
city dying during his year of Office.
With these three exceptions the
honor is paid only to the ineal de
scendant Of an English sovereign, or
to the consort of a sovereign, of an
heir apparent or of a prince OF prin-
cess on the steps of the throne. But
it was toaled upon the death of Presi-
dent Garfield, whose long and brave
fight for life had been. witness in
England with almost as much interest
and sympathy as in this country.
The sonorous booming of the great
bell was the first announcement to the
people of the death of Prince Albert,
which occurred at II o'clock at night
on December IA, 1861.
Whenever death comes to the royal
family the home secretary is at once
informed It is his duty to notify the
lord mayor, and it then devolves upon
the lord mayor to send the news TO
the dean of St. Paul with a request
that the great bell be tolled.

DELUGE OF CALENDARS
Each Holiday Season business Men
Overrun with Gift Of1erings
of Advertisers.

This is the season of the year when
the business man on entering his Of
fee trips over pile of calendars, finds
another bunch on his chair and has to
lift half dozen or so before he can open
his desk. All day long queer-looking
individuals keep poking their unshaven
faces in at his door and dropping more
calendars on his head, his desk and his
lap until the Office overfiows with them.
The advertising calendar habit seems
to grow with the passing of the years.
Some time ago it was almanacs with
which the people were flooded at the
beginning of each new year, various pat
ent medicine proprietors issuing the lit
tie pamphlets setting forth the phases
OF the moon and the other information
OF chronological nature deemed nee
essary to human happiness. But the
pictorial and highly-colored calendar
has taken the place of the almanac to
large extent. Every insurance com
pany, railroad company and printing
and engraving firm of any pretensions
seems to feel called upon nowadays to-
get out an annual calendar which will
hang above the desk Of the business man
and keep the name of the firm which
sends out the calendar constantly be-
fore the eyes of the occupant and his
callers.

GEM IN HIS NIGHT SHIRT.
How Plucky Pete Mcdonald, of the
K1ondike, Amused Himself In
q Seattle Hospital.

Pete Mcdonald, brother of Alexan-
der Mcdonald, the millionaire king of
the Klondike, left the Seattle hospital
few weeks ago, having been there nine
weeks with broken leg. Pete McDon-
aid, though not so well known as his
brother, is rich, nevertheless, and when
he visited Portland last winter, he
spread his money freely, as BELTS a
generous Klondiker, says the Seattle
News.
At the hospital besid> .Pete's bed, on
stand, was some $500 in $50 gold
pieces. With these he amused himself,
stacking them up and building little
heaps to while away the time. For
hours he would lie there, lovingly fin
gering his gold pieces.
But the funniest feature of it all was
the fact that Pete insisted on wearing
a $500 diamond in the bosom of his night
shirt. The diamond was as big as the
end Of ones thumb. and its g,ittering
rays seemed to comfort Pete as he toyed
with it.in his hours Of pain. Every
night the millionaire would fasten the
diamond in the bosom Of his night shirt
before going to sleep.
