 The gold plate at Windsor castle is the largest collection in the world. It is valued at e2,OOO,OOO.

 That card playing is stil a popular pastime in England is shown by the fact that during the last financial year the stamp duty of threepence was paid on TO fewer than 1,952, ,456 packs made fer sale or use in the United Kingdom. From this source the exchequer re- reived G24,4O5 14s., which was supple mented by sum of 2 5,346, represent ing the customs duty of three shillings ninepence per dozen packs on playing cards imported from abroad. Add to these figures Z 34 paid as license duty by makers, and we have total revenue of e29,7s5 14s.

IDOL OF CoWpUNCHERs.
An Arizona Girl Who Led a Party Safely Through szost Dam
 gerous Journey.

All over Arizona the cowboys and hunters have new toast. They are all in love with the same girl. Her name is Rhoda Riggs. says the Chi cago Tribune, and she lives with her old father at a ranchhoise near the Pinera canyon, in the widest part of the territory. Miss Riggs is good looking, but that does not con stitute her claim to the affections of the ''cow punchers." They are all her willing subjects because she has led them safely through a most danger ous journey, with war party of Chiricahua Apaches at the other end Of tfle road. The Indians shot a pros pector named J. D Mack, and left him for dead. He crawled to the Riggs ranch and managed to tell his story to Miss KhCda. She bound up his wounds, left her father in charge Of the patient, and set off on horseback, with her rifle over her shoulder, to give the alarm. First riding to Fort Grant, from which post detachment of cavalry was sent out at once, she organized an impromptu army of cow boys, which she led on the trail of the flying Apaches. She succeeded in catching up with the Indians in the mountains. and the men under her command killed and captured most of them before the soldiers came up to complete the rout. Now she is the heroine of all Arizona.

"The drainage canal is driving me to it." said the sallow fnan.
 He was talking to the fat man. They were discussing sumner things. The signs Of spring had suggested the con- versation. The air was balmy and soft as it blew in through the open office window, and the srarrows were carry ing straw up the gables to build their nests. says the Inter Ocean.
 What has the drainage canal to do with your summer outing?' asked tue fat man. "You are not 2 member of the drainage c6inmission."
 ''No, Inever had anything to do with the canal except to pay taxes, and l never saw it.''
 Well, what's the joke?" and the fat man got bis face poised for smiling.
 "Oh, it ain't no joke.

 A prominent shipping firm estimates the output of dried peaches from this state this year at 1900 to 1900 car loaGs.
 The California Vineyardist says that there will be about 1,4OO carloads of seeded rais;ns shipped from California this se2son.

BRITQNS AFRAID OF RIVALS.
Way So RRpidEy as in th@ Past.

The British people are desperately anxious to see the America cup back again in the old country. but they would prefer even more to know tha the fastest mail steamer on the At lantic had her home n the decks of the Nersey, says a Lcndon newspaper. Competition is becoming remcrseless; the days Of monopoly are receding swiftly into tbe pa-t. Nut many years ago sach an angry ortcIy as that which was raised at the st2t ement that great engineering contracts in conncctjCn with the railways of South Africa hal been placrd ;n Jhe United States would have been Impossible. British i:on and steel makers would have laughed in- credu!crsty at inc suggestion hat Eeir American rivals could produce work more cheapiy and more quickly than themselves There is no such laugh ter to-day.
 The British public have not forgotten thGt it is 2n &r:Gs@jsan bridge wbich crosses the &tGaa3G an0 that it was placed thtTe Gg &as4eIiean engineers, because TO British finn could guar antee it's computation within six plon4As of the time specified ca the other side of the Atlantic, Whatever tIle reasons were, the fact rer2ains--a standing re- hinder that the race is 5o the swift. When the huge coEtracts for South Africa come to be placed, will it be found that any of the leeway has been made up?

RIPENING THE CREAM.
Valuable Hints Regarding Setting, Temperature and Proper Treat
 ment Up to ChurninG.

Setting. are many ways of setting milk for cream, and the sep arator is now taking the place of them all. But I still prefer pans holding from six to eight quarts filled two thirds full Place them on rack in a good-milk room and give them the close attention necessary to good but ter-making. The quality of the but ter will excel the separator product, while the quantity will closely ap- proach it.
 Cream Room.-For ten or twelve cows, room eight by ten built in the coolest corner of milkhouse; ceiled with pine and having plank rack at top of one side for ice, with tank below for water; must be well light ed, yet with blinds to darken il at will; milk rack extending length of each side, with wide shelf or table be- fore window for cream pails while skimming milk. The room can be warmed in winter by a stove in the larger room.
 Temperature.-Mus ve varied ae- cording to condition of milk. When COWS are fresh cream can be raised at lower temperature than after milk ing them some time Milk from differ ent herds requires different treat ment, making it hard to give exact rules: GO to G2 degrees in warm weather, and in cold weather 62 to G5 degrees, seems to secure the best re- suits. Careful watching, noting re- suits from certain temperature, will soon give the exact degree required.
 Treatment Up to Churning. - The cream should be removed from the milk as soon as all has risen. If more than one cream pail or crock is re- quired to hold a .churning, equal quan- titles should be skinned into each and thoroughly stirred each time. Cream should not stand more than AS hourse before churning. If not ripened enough, use a starter. If room is kept at proper temperature, the cream will be about right. But see that it is warmed or cooled as needed to about 60 degrees before churning. A good thermometer is as necessary in the dairy as a churn. And let me say Eternal vigilance is the price of success in the dairy, as in other busi- ness.-Mrs. G. E. Brainard, in Ohio Farmer.

A Tr.asvpaI War Tale.

Here is very good story of the war as told by q correspondent. A private in the Dublin fusileers, who collected a quite surprising number of bullets in his body, and is even more bored by inquisitive visitors to the Mooi River hospital, was assailed by pom pous legislator from Cape Town. He wearily described his wound. Two bullets through his helmet, one in his shoulder, another in his ''fut," and two explosive bullets through his left breast. 'It's wonder you weren't killed" said the legislator; ''they must have passed perilously near the region of the heart" 'They did that, bedad," said the fusileer, "but I was right enough, for sure me heart was in me mouth for safety"

ence in their favor over similar products
from other countries. The resolution was
tabled without discussion.

relations signed by Senors Gomez, Silva
and Villuendas, was read, but after a dis
cussion which showed that q majority OF

tion to lay II on the table was carried. A
similar disposition was made Of reports
