A GRACIOUS QUEEN.

The Right Honorable Sir Fleetwood
Edwards. keeper OF her majesty's privy
purse. writes 10 the marquis of Lans-
downe. secretary Of state for war:
The queen commands me to inform
you OF her anxiety to make some lit
tie personal present to Aer soldiers in
south Africa, and she has decided on
sending chocolate 1t will be packed
for each man in tin specially de-
signed for the occasion. 1t will be suit
able for eating or for making beve-
rage. One hundred thousand tins
have been ordered. Daily Paper.
All hail to Britain's generous queen,
She keeps her soldier boys in mind;
More generous soul was never seen,
More thoughtful queen you cannot
find.
Her armies swarm the land, the sea;
Her flag is everywhere unfurled;
Her soldiers strive with loyalty
That she, some day, may rule the
world.
In Africa her soldiers fight
To drive the beers from their do
main,
And feel they're fighting for her right,
And that they will not fight in vain.
They risk their lives at her behest
CThey know they're mentioned in
her prayers)-
For her they do their very best
(And every victory sends up shares
And their good queen, benevolent,
Her royal privy purser tells:
Il want, at once, to these men sent
One hundred thousand caramels
And put them in artistic shape,
In tins, with royal arms and such,
And send them quickly to the cape.
| want my men to beat the Dutch"
And now each Tommy Atkins strives
Against the beers with gun and
sword,
For well he knows, if he survives,
He'll get his gracious queens re-
ward.
And with his chocolate in hand
(Which more to him will mean than
wealth.,
He'll make drink in that far land
In which to quaff his sovereign S
health.

GOLD COIN BY THE TON.
Work Done Yearly at the Mint in San
Francisco.

Ordinarily people speak of gold bull
lion when quantities are mentioned as
so many ounces, except in San Fran
cisco, where the receipts of gold bull
lion at the United States branch mint
are referred to as so many tons for
certain days. It sounds like an enor-
nous boast, bordering on the fabulous,
yet it is true. The mint books show
it; the bullion was received, coined and
turned over to it's owners. One day in
August last four tons of the precious
metal was recei 7ed at the mint for
coinage, while in October, 1897, the re-
ceipts for one day were six tons.
That exceeds the receipts of any other
mint as far as known, and so does the
total coinage Of the San Francisco
branch mint exceed that of any other
of recent years and is still on the in
crease.
The coinage of the last fiscal year,
ended June 80, 1899, according to the
report just completed, was the largest
in the history of this mint It con-
sisted of 133,S73,375 pieces, valued at
$50, S62,275. That coinage has been ex-
ceeded in amount in the coinage his
tory Of the government on two occa-
siOnS only. At the mint in Philadel
phia in the year 1861 some 10000, 900
was coined, and again in the same
place in 1881 something over SIC ,000,-
900 was coined. Since then California
has pushed forward and now holds the
front rank for amounts.
The largest amount heretofore coined
in the San Francisco mint during any
calendar year was in 1878, $50, 1S6, 800.
This year the coinage is expected to at
least approximate that of 1898. Prior
to 1897 and for fifteen years preceding
the coinage of the San Francisco mint
averaged about s25,000,00 a year. In
that year the amount took a sudden
leap and went up to s40,0S4, 291.
The largest number of deposits for
one month in the history of the mint
was in August, 1899. They reached
1858, aggregating nearly 100000
ounces, value about s12, 500, 900. For
the three years prior to that time de-
posits averaged from 500 to 700 a
month, which was considered very
good business. The heaviest deposits
for enc day in that month aggregated
four tons of gold. A large consign-
ment of English sovereigns arrived

OLIVE OIL GOOD FOR THE HAIR
New Ointment for Growing Glory of
Chicago Women.

The well-grOOmed woman Of Chicago

Some well-meaning persons have
sworn by kerosene and many easily
persuaded women have tried it, only
to find themselves a nuisance to the
family while the "cure" was in process
and in the end obliged to abandon it's
use from the very disagreeable after
effects of the treatment.
All authorities on the subject of
hair-doctoring agree that the natural
oil of the hair, judiciously augmented
by an artifcially applied oil, will be
Of material benefit in producing luxuri-
long ends from splitting and the hair
from falling out, for the reason that
the roots are properly nourished.
Another reason why some good oil
should be carefully applied to the roots
of the hair is the necessity of keeping
the scalp loose fro mthe head and by
this means permitting the natural oil

OLD-ktASHIUNED MUSIC AGAIN.

the old airs-the airs she was taught
when she first learned to play, which
she acquired by such hours Of sacrifice

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

Paddy Flaherty was walkiu' along
in the vale wan day jist for divarshun,
whin ne came to beautiful fountain,
bubblin' up out O the ground and all
covered wild rainbows. Twas a hot
day and Paddy was thirsty, so he got
down on his hands and knees and
drank about a pint O. the wather, and
it tasted like dew from the heather
mountain at Killarney. Coin home he
noticed that he had no pain from the
rheumatic in his ankle and all the gray
hairs were dhropin' from his head
and chin. His red rose turned white
wanst more, his eyes shone like the
stars. and his vice was soft as a sill
yer flute. Begorra, whia he opened
the door O. the shanty his wife didn't
know him.
What can l do for you, sir?" says
Biddy to him, as polite as We place, as
he went in
I've can give me my supper, Biddy."
says Paddy, not KNOWN the differ the
wather made in him.
But who ARE ye?" says Biddy.
Who am I? Is it crazy you ar're?"
says Paddy. Don't We see I'm your
husband?"
Faith, and if you are, you're thirty
years younger than you were this
mornin,'" says she.
"Usha, I'm thinkin' you're right"
said Paddy, lookin' in the glass. Run
Biddy, run down to the spring in the
valley beyant, and take sup o. the
wather. Sure you'll get new set o.
teeth and your cock eye'll be cured.
Hurry, woman, hurry"
So Biddy ran as if the divvil was
after her and Paddy sat down and
lighted his pipe, 'waitin' for her tG
come back. Well, if he waited an
hour, he waited two whin he began to
get onaisy and started out to find
her. Well, whin he got near the
fountain, what should he see sitting
agin' the wall but little girl babby
about year old, cryin' as il 'twouid
burst wild grief.
What happened you, acushla?" said
Paddy, takin' the child in his arrums.
Don't you know me?" says the
child.
My wife!" says Paddy.

SAID TO BE ALUM POISONING.
Serious Cases of Illness Reported from
Use Of Impure Baking Powder.

The poisoning of the Thomas fam
lily, of Thomas Mill, Somerset Co.,
four members of which were reported
to have been made dangerously i'll by
impure baking powder used in mixing
buckwheat cakes, has been further
Investigated.
The original can with the remain
der of the baking powder left over
after mixing 'Ne cakes was secured
by DR.. Critchf1eld. The powder had
been bought at a neighboring country
store, and was one of the low priced
brands
DR.. Critchheld said that the pa
tients had the symptoms Of alum
poisoning. AS the Same kind of bak-
ing powder is sold in many city gro
ceries, as we'll as country stores, DR..
Critchfield thought it important that
a chemical examination should be
made to determine its ingredients.
He therefore transferred the package
Of powder to DR.. Schill of this city,
for analysis. DR.. Schill's report is as
follows:
l certify that I have examined
chemically the sample of = bak-
ing powder forwarded to me by DR..
Critchtield. The specimen contained
alum. DR.. Francis Schill, Jr., Analyst.
Alum is used in the manufacture of
the lower priced baking powders. 1t
is a mineral poison, and for this rea-

tanning it is in many cities prohibit
