In the western hemisphere there
have been few changes in territorial
lines. British title to the northwest
ern territory has been confirmed and
the area of British Guiana somewhat
enlarged. The development Of the
Dominion OF Canada has, however,
been almost equal to the discovery and
annexation of a new continent. Finally,
in Africa, there has been stupendous
progress. Sixty years ago Great
Britain owned Cape Colony and two
or three other mere footholds. In
these three-score years she has acquir-
ed in the southern part Of the dark
continent the territories of Natal, Ba-
sutoland, Bechuanaland, Zululand and
finally the vast territory administered
by the British South Africa company,
extending north to Lake Tanganyika.
The recent acquisition Of the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free State gives
her absolute control Of South Africa.
In the east she had practically taken
Zanzibar and nearly half a million
square miles of "hinterland" extending
to the Congo state In the heart of AT,
RIGA and northward to the Egyptian
Soudan. In West Africa she secured
an imperial domain In the Niger coun-
try and In the north she has a tempo

Once there was a tradition In Eng
land that the queen never smiled. In
all the hundreds of photographs Of her
she was shown with her dropping up
per lip and an expression of sorrow not
relieved even by the suspicion of a
laugh. One day, however, Charles
knight, a photographer at Newport,
Isle of Wight, upset this tradition. II
was In this way:
The queen was visiting Newport. The
mayor OF the city was presenting in a
verbose and fulsome speech a magnif-
icent bouquet. He had carefully COM
mitted the speech to memory, but in
his anxiety to make a favorable i'm
preston with his courtly manners, his
promp and splendor of royal velvet
and fur-trimmed robe, medals, cooked
hat and cable chains Of gold. he lost
his place." After some stammering
and suffering he suddenly shouted:
"Pve forgotten the rest" and stood
gazing at the queen like a stupid
schoolboy on visitors day. Then her
majesty laughed outright, and the
hnstered and heart-broken mayor
dropped the bouquet and fed. While

Victoria and Reforms.

During Queen Victoria's reign there
were many notable acts Of legislation.
Several reforms demanded by the
chartists, then considered revolution
airy in the extreme. were quietly and
peaceably effected. The corn laws
were repealed and England entered
upon her marvellous prosperity under
a free port policy. The Irish church
was disesta6lished and the odious sys-
tenn OF purchase abolished in the army.
There was a sensational feature con-
nected with the last-named measure.
It was opposed by the house Of lords
and defeated by trick. An amend
ment was carried to the effect that the
lords were unwilling to agree to the
passage OF the bill until some compre-
hensiye and complete scheme OF army
reorganization should have been laid
before It, Mr.. Gladstone thereupon
took a step which is variously critl-
clsed to this day. Purchase was per-

Shan states, Beluchistan, Manipur and
Chitral have been annexed. Nor must
the little but enormously valuable ter
ritory Of Hongkong be forgotten as one
Of the acquisitions of the reign.
Passing from Asia to Australasia,
even greater changes have occurred.
Before 1887 New South Wales and Tas-
mania were the only organized colo
MES in that region and the rest Of the
great islands were practically I'M
known land. Since then New Zealand,
Victoria, South Australasia, Queens
land and West Australia have been
added to the mighty cluster Of British
colonies which now dominate that
quarter of the world. Fiji, part OF Bor-
neo and of New Guinea and many
smaller island groups are now also to
be colored with British red on the
worlds map.

To obtain purity in her court was
one object which the queen sought
with strenuous vigilance. By some
means she learned the peccadilloes OF
all personages likely to come into con-
tact with her, and when justified she
hesitated not a moment, no matter
what their power, to exclude them from
her favor.

There was not prominent politician,
whose relations with his family We're
not fairly well known to her. Not
long ago she refused to sanction the
appointment of very able man who
had been recommended by the govern
ment for an important office. The rea-
son for her refusal was that the APP
pointment would bring the man into
personal relations with her, and the
result would be uncomfortable for him,
because she would not receive his wife.
For obvious reasons 1t was necessary
for her to be more charitable regard
ing the foibles of the Prince Of Wales.

tically no expense of any kind to meet,
since they were all betrayed. like those
of her majesty, out Of the assigned
portions of the civil list, and 1t is
known that he was able to set aside
and invest at least 100000 a year
throughout his married life. This
amounts net to $2,300,o00. The major
portion of this was most judiciously
invested in land at South Kensington,
which was at that time little else than
waste ground, but which today is
covered with the most costly and luxu-
rious mansions in London and is worth
far more for the square foot than 1t
was forty years ago for the acre. The
fortune bequeathed by the prince con-
sort to his widow is estimated to have
attained at the present day the mini
mum value OF S25,OO0,0O0.

Richard Henry Dana, the author OF
Two Years Before the Mast" told
an amusing story TO William Dean
Howells of the Pacific trade, in which
he said it was very noble to deal in
furs from the northwest, and very ig-
noble to deal in hides along the Mex
lean and South American coasts.
Every ships master wished, natural
ly, to be in the fur-carrying trade.
On one occasion, however, two ves-
sells, one engaged IN each of the two
trades, met in mid ocean and sntered
upon the usual nautical dialogue re-
garding their respective ports of de-
parture and destination. 1t was the
honored fur carrier who had begun
the conversation, and from it came
through the trumpet the final ques-
ton: "What cargo?" After all,
hides and furs are both pelts, and the
challenged captain, yielding to temp
tation, roared back, recklessly,
"Furs!" There was a moment of
hesitation; then, wording his suspic-
ions as considerably as possible, the
other captain shouted back, Here
and there a horn?"

Peshtigo, Wis, Jan. &c, 1901.-(Spe-

that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
Dreese, Of this place. Miss Dreese is
the Vice Templar Of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, and organist
OF the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her
nurse she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters Is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as
trained nurse l have often observed
how many different physicians give
their patients Dodd's Kidney Pills in
cases Of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble.
About three years ago myself suffered
some months with a weakness and con-
tinual congested condition, and de-
cided to try what the Pills would do for
me. / soon found that they built up
the affected parts and restored har-
moHy to the entire system, and al
though l often lose much sleep and
rest while attending severe cases, I
find that ! was never in finer health
nor had more endurance than since /

Clergymen say they are good, Sena-
tors and Congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties Of this Medicine, hundreds
of physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
skilled trained nurses advise their use
and use them themselves, while tens Of;

The Question Discussed by Colum.

Action Deferred for Six Months
After an Unsuccessful Effort to
Sidetrack the Mntter-Press Feed
ers and NOn-UniOn WOrbmen.

The question of securing suffrage for
the residents of the District was dis
cussed yesterday afternoon at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 101. The matter was
brought up on the report of the delegate
to the Central Labor Union, and action
was deferred for a period of six months
An effort was made to sidetrack the con-
sderation of the matter altogether by
a motion to lay the report on the table,
but this was defeated.
The question of the employment of non
union workmen or women at the Govern
ment Printing Office was also discussed,
as was the action taken by the Press Feed
ers' Union some time ago, which in effect
is that all feeders employed at the Gov
ernment Printing Office must affiliate
with the Press Feeders Union before Sep
ternber l next. The matter was referred
to the Committee on Appeals.
The stand taken by the press feeders is
endorsed by the International Pressmen's
Union and also Local Union No l of
Printing Pressmen.
A member of Columbia Union stated last
night that there is little doubt that the
members of the feeders union will re-
