British Troop. Landed at Shanghai.

London, Aug. 10.-The eyes of the
world, which have been fixed hitherto
on Pekin, are turning to Shanghai,
where an imbroglio resulting from the
jealousy and suspicion of the powers
will possibly shortly assume a serious
aspect.
The British landed Guerkas and Bonn

largely counteracted the effect of legis-
latiye Decentralization of silver. Ma
ture has, to large extent, furnished
the cure for evils resulting from legis-
lative errors; and through the opera
tion of divers causes this has been es-
peclally SO in the United States. 1t
has not been so in Russia, where
prices have been falling. owing to the
contraction of the currency; and there
are other European countries which
have not been so favorably situated
as the United States to enjoy the re-
suits of the great increase in the gold
supply.
In 1896 attention was called to the
great fall In the amount of per capita
circulation of money. In the United
States, between July /, 1894, and July
], 1896, the fall in those two years was
S3.1S per capita. Since then there has
been rapid increase in per capita cir
culation, the increase amounting to
$500 per capita in the four years, our
present per capita circulation being
larger than at any other time in the
last thirty years.
The exports of domestic merchandise
from the United States rapidly dimin-
ished from 1892 to 1885, but in the
last four years these exports have in
creased beyond all precedent, and are
now very far in excess of anything
ever known in our history.
In 1896 there had for some years
been steady fall in all values. as
shown by the index numbers. The
Economist index number in 1891 was
1924; in the spring OF 1897, it had fall
len to the number, 1.SS5, which was
far lower than had ever been regis
tered in more than fifty years. Since
then 1t has rapidly increased, and on
April 30th of the present year 1t stood
at 2,240. which is higher than it has
been before In the last sixteen years.

THE HOME OF vpcroRIA FoR THE
LAST HALF OF A CEN
TURY
BOUGHT BY PRINCE coNsoRr
Many Tender Memories of the Past
Cluster Around the Magnificent
Estate of six Miles Along
the River.

For nearly half a century Balmoral has
had great fascination for the queen.
Perhaps it is that in the Highlands her
majesty can live quietly and simply, says
the Washington Post. untrammeled by
court pomp and undisturbed by thou
sand things which enter into her life
at the heart Of the empire. Or perhaps
it is that here she is reminded of those
early years Of welded happiness, when
her consort was all The world to her.
Balmoral is rich in memories for the
queen. 1t was Prince Albert's gift The
queen has been anxious for an estate in
Scotland, and wished to buy an estate on
Loeb Laggan, but Prince Albert prevailed
upon the young monarch to wait a few
months, and then the queen saw Bal
moral. She fell in love with the castle at
first sight, and, 1t being highly recon-
mended by the queens physician. Prince
Albert purchased 1t from Lord Aberdeen
for $155,50O. Since then the queen has
purchased considerable property adjoining
the Baimoral estate, and she has now
10000 acres on Deeside, running fer six
miles along the river banks Balmoral,
in fact, may be said to be the queens
own village. She has erected many cot
tages on her estates. and is in close
touch with the life Of her tenants, all Of
whom agree in describing their royal
landowner as the kindliest landlord in
the world. Here and there one comes
across some token Of the royal owner
ship, in the shape of a monument or a
tablet, such as the one. for example, in
the pfnewood adjoining Balmoral. Tradi-
ton, which has much to say about the
highlands, tells that once upon a time
the forest was, sold for a tartan plaid
and her majesty has iinscribed on a stone
denotlng her entry into possession, the
words The bonniest plaid in Scotland. -
Simple as it's interior is, it is an ideal
home, even for a queen, and there is not
fairer scene in Scotland than that from
the Balmoral heights.

MISTRESS Of SYCAMORE
MRS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT DE-
SCRIBED AS A WOMAN OF
CHARMING PERSONALLY
DECIDED IN THE CHARACTER
Should the Republican Ticket Win
She VIII Become Practically
the First Lady In the
Land.

If the Republican ticket wins In No
vember a decidedly new element will en-
ter Washington society through the door
Of the vice presidency, says a New York
correspondent of the Globe-Democrat.
The social leaders of the capital knew
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the wife of the
assistant secretary of the navy, but the
wife Of the vice president would be
decidedly different proposition Should
the question of precedence arise as was
the case in the social season of 1883, those
whose knowledge makes ripened judg-
ment say that all wagers as to who would
come first If Roosevelt was vice presi-
dent would be entirely one-sided.
There is fixed impression in the public
mind that Mrs. Roosevelt is averse to all
publicity, on her own account and for
her children. To her the displaying of
her picture in the newspapers, merely as
the wife Of a prominent man. amounts
to notwithstanding, for which she has a
well-bred adherence. From this fact
many people have imbibed the idea that
Mrs. Roosevelt is a timid, retiring
woman. with little interest in anything
except household duties Some have even
SuSpSCtSu the governor or being some
thing Of a domestic tyrant. Nothing
farther from the truth could be imagined
Mrs. Roosevelt is almost as decided a
character as her husband She Is the
Chatelaine Of Sycamore hill. the beautiful
Roosevelt home at Oyster bay. and no one
who has ever visited there will be apt to
forget the dignity and firmness with
which she rules over the entire establish
ment, The governor never dreams of
questioning one of her orders.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who was Miss Edith
Kermit Carow, is a young woman still.
and very attractive one. Rather above
the medium height, she has a slender,
graceful figure and a fine intelligent
face. She has very bright eyes and the
beautiful teeth. that one characteristic
Of the whole Roosevelt family. Her hair
is light brown. and Is simply without a
wave or a ringlet Everything about her
speaks Of grace. She is an aristocrat to
the tips Of her fingers. Her manner is
that of gracious lady, tactful, kindly,
certain of her rank, but conscious also
Of the old world obligation Of rank. She
dresses extremely well.
If the Republican ticket is elected, Mrs

Westminster biographies.

Robert Browning" by Arthur Waugh.
Published by Small. Maynard & Co.,
Bostoh.
This is one Of the Westminster biogra-
phies. and is. as the author states, "a
miniature, not panel portrait" of the
poet. The motive Is TO give q picture
Of Browning and his surroundings and
show his relation to the literary move
ments of his time. The story Of Brown
ing's long waiting for recognition by the
reading public. outside the circle of his
literary friends, and of his romantic mar
rage with the gifted woman who proved
to be such an ideal companion for him,
will always be of interest to the ordinary
reader. The author also deals in q clear,
concise manner with the oft-discussed
questions of Browning's "obscurity'' and
the message" he wished to convey In his
poems. Mr.. Waugh gives the result Of
his study Of the many longer, more pre-
tentious works on Browning and in a
simple, straightforward style holding tho
attention of any intelligent reader,
though he may not be a Browning en-
thusiast.'

Experience-the shroud of Illusions.

should never be cOnsoled.
The pleasures of thought are remedies
for the wounds of the heart.
A woman's friendship is, as a rule, the
legacy of love or the aims of Indifference.
To be happy a woman should not expect

Men are just only with those they
really love.
We are always faithful to duties which
are in accord with our tastes.
A woman often thinks she regrets the
lover, when she. only regrets the love.
How much one must have suffered to be

Among the painful things of which life
is made there is this one, our best actions

There are people who live onlv to be
