Victoria No. So wealthy.

1. has been stated that Queen Vic
toria has accumulated a fortune Of
over 500 100000. The actual amount
of the queens savings is known to a
few people. One of these is Henry
Labouchere, the radical, who came by
his information officially as member of
a special committee of the House of
Commons about eight years since
Subsequently Mr.. Labouchere wrote:
1.-THE impression prevails that the
queen has effected large savings. but
that is not the case. AS the sum total
of the queens investments was given
to the committee under pledge of
secrecy, cannot violate this pledge.
but do not think am breaking faith
In saying that the amount is surpris-

Gladstone's Courtesy.

An incident which occurred at PEN
maenmawr, in the summer of 1890, is
told as beautiful example of Mr..
Gladstone's courtesy. We borrow it
from the London Chronicle. About
1,200 feet up the mountain was a small
farmstead at which resided woman
more than 70 years old, who brought
her weekly stock of provisions in
large basket up the steep ascent from
Llanfairfechan village. One hot Sat
urday, soon after beginning the climb,
she sat down to rest. Mr.. Gladstone,
who was sojourning in the neighbor-
hood, was making the same climb,
when he saw her, and the two entered
into conversation. She chatted freely,
and detailed the contents of her basket,
whereupon Mr.. Gladstone lifted it, and
finding it heavy, offered to carry it for
her. The offer was accepted, and the
veteran statesman bore the basket to
the whitewashed cottage, near the
summit A party of tourists, approach
spectfully saluted Mr.. Gladstone, who,
having set his load down at the old
woman's door, strobe vigorously across
the mountain pass to Penmaenmawr.
did you know 1t was Mr.. Gladstone
who carried your basket?" inquired
one Of the party. mo, indeed; l don't
know Mr.. Gladstone replied the old
woman. But i know he is kind
gentleman, whoever he Is"

How to Save Leaking Ships.

From the American Machinist: On
the occasion of n ship springing leak
her pumps are set to work to get the
water out as fast as II comes in. In.
stead of this 1t Is suggested that ali
pumps be used to force air into the
leaky compartment. and thus force the
water back through the hole where 1t
entered. There is, 1t is remarked, a
means of expelling water from the
filled compartments so obvious as to
render 1t n matter of wonder that en-
gineering skill has not put forward the
plan, simply to close the matches of
the flooded compartments and drive
the water out by forcing the air in,
nor would 1t make the slightest differ
ence how large the holes might be in
the bottom, as the water would be ex-
PEELED and kept out on the same prin-
ciple as the old-fashioncd diving-bell.

Science for the LAZY.

From the London Graphic: Science
is not as rule upon the side of the
lazy man. On one point, however
that of the advantages and disadvan-
tages of late or early rising-it has
come forward to vindicate him. The
voice of the sluggard-"you have
walked me too soon, l must slumber
again"-is also the voice of the British
Medical Journal, which takes the op-
theory that early to bed, and early
to rise makes man healthy" what
ever it may do for his understanding
or his pocket. Medical science today
declares that If a man is healthy he
does not for choice get up early, the
desire to rise with the lark being the
result of 1.-The hardening of the arteries
and the less ready action of the vaso-
motor system" 1t is disease of old
men, and apparently also of worn out
nations, for China is quoted as shock
ing example Of the people who show
their hardened arteries and sluggish
vasomotor systems by vicious habit
of early rising. The Rennes court.
martial, too, began its sittings at $50
in the morning. Every lazy person
will no doRbt take these warnings to
heart, and show by example the pre-
cept how necessary is an unfiinching
and even stern cultivation of habits
of decently late rising If England is
still to lead the van of progress.

Some Facts which 1naleas. tn. Porto

Some Facts Which Indicate the Porto
ricans' Willingness to Learn.
The Portorican Is mentally acute.
The children learn with surprising ease
and quickness. Boys and girls eight
and ten years Of age will do sum in
long division on the board without
showing the process; doing the multi
plying and subtracting mentally, and
only setting down the figures of the
Guotient, with the remainder. l have
talked with men and women in the
poor quarters of several cities and
towns, have seen the peasant in the
field and In the market place, and did
not find one with slow wits or dense
ignorance of ordinary affairs. A work
ingman told me of class of laborers
at night to prepare themselves for the
educational test required for the fran
chise. He said they made rapid prog
Tess in learning to read, says Hon. H.
X. Carroll in the Forum. The fact OF
illiteracy is not due to lack of intelli-
gence, but rather to lack of opportunity
and the lack, also, of stimulus. The
peasant has not been able to see how
he could improve his condition by edu-
cation. The mercantile and the bank
ing business were almost exclusively
in the hands of the Peninsular Span
iards. 1t was next to impossible for
native to get position of any kind
in one of these houses. They preferred
young men from Spain, relatives oil
they had them. These young men
would begin at the lowest round of the
ladder. sleep in the store, live in the
most economical fashion and trust to
experience and opportunity for ad-
vancement, which seldom failed to
come. When the heads of the house re-
turned to Spain with a competency, to
live the rest of their days in era
cia," the newer part of Barcelona, the
clerks succeed to the business. A Por-
torican who has a large and paying
business in San Juan says it was with
the greatest difficulty that he found a
chance for himself with Spanish firm.
There was apparently no chance any
where for the peasant. If by the great
est possible good luck he got steady
work, and lived so as to save some.
thing, he was likely to be made the vic
tim of some unprincipled, covetous
neighbor, who had property and influ-
ence. When poor man was compelled
to part with his COW because he could
not raise eight pesos to pay the alleged
tax on her, and she became the prop
erty of rogue at half price, peasants
would say, What is the use? Better
have no belongings; we will spend as
We 60" They saw nothing to be gained
by stinting and starving themselves to
educate their children. The system
was against them; and government
and wealth seemed in league to prevent
them from rising. The high rate OF
illiteracy in Porto Rico is not due to
the unwillingness or inability Of the
people to learn, or to their indifference,
but to conditions from which they
could not extricate themselves.
Gilpin observer., 1900-01-18

short time he realized that the small
knowledge he had acquired at the
schools was totally inadequate to per-
NIT him to solve the least Of life
problems. His egotism died away as
frost melts before the sun. His atti-
tude of mind became finely humble.
and he learned from his beautiful pat
ron the lesson which her whole life
taught, that in service is the only sat
isfactory living.
But along with the happiness that
arose from true knowledge like this
was a terrible sorrow. He discovered,
to his unqualified dismay, that he loved
Edith Vaille. 1t was no whimsical in
fatuation, no light, adoring admira-
ton that could be put aside for other
thoughts. He realized that he was
destined to worship this woman to the
last day of his life. That his love was
absurd, impertinent. impossible, he
did not doubt. There was not grain
of hope in his passion. He resigned
himself to his misfortune and got
what comfort he could from the refiec-
ton that it was a noble love and for a
woman of incompaXable qualities.
He was quite sure that his manner
betrayed nothing-he would never per-
nit himself even to be distant or con-
ventional in his demeanor. He aimed
to keep the cordial and respectful atti-
tude of a trusted assistant and friend.
If sometimes his face flushed when her
perfumed garments brushed him in
passing; If he sometimes picked up
the flowers that fell from her corsage;
if, when she came to dinner, glowing
in her laces and jewels. his eyes be-
trayed an uncomfortable admiration,
he prayed that she did not see it.
But as time went on his pain became
almost unsupportable. His nights were
nearly sleepless. He had to force the
food over his lips. There were half
insane moments when he thought he
should fall at her feet and confess with
anguish his folly. He began to debate
the propriety of leaving, but he was
held to his place by two considerations.
