ROYAL RELICS DISCOVERED.
Queen Anne Plate Found in Carriart
n an IInnsed lSnrn

London, Aug. 27.-The overhauling
to which the various royal palaces are
being subjected by order of King Ed
ward is leading to extraordinary dis
coveries. CARROTS and cellars closed
over century are being cleared and
thrown open. Recently a magnificent
portrait of Queen Caroline, by Law
renee, was found, along with some
other paintings, in garnet at Wind
sor castle, and now an old Fourgon
or velvet lined van, of great size filled
with splendid silver and silver gilt
plate has been found in a stable at
st. James palace, which has not been
used for $50 years.
The silver in question belonged ia
Queen Anne and was used by her
when giving grand dinner parties at
Kew, Hampton court and other su.
burban palaces to which the van was
dispatched from st. James. The sill.
YER was black, and undoubtedly had
remained in the van since the time OF
the death of Queen Anne.
Everything we seek to do has a risk
connected with it.

The Improvement in the appearance
OF railroad grounds during the last few
years has been more noticeable this
summer than8eve before. Cutting the
grass around the stations, keeping the
borders trimmed, planting flowers and
caring for them these are things
which most Of the railroads used to
permit the station agents to do II they
would; but the corporations themselves
gave little thought and no money to

doing the work, on larger scale and
systematically. The improvement is
general throughout the east and is
making rapid progress in the west to
the pleasure Of those who travel and
the benefit OF the towns in which the
stations are situated.

Washington, Aug. 90. Probably
the most important arrests ever
made in connection with the SNUG
Cling of Chinese across the Next

mas been made in Arizona. William
M. Hoey, collector of customs, at
Nogales; b. +. Jossey, an immigrant
inspector; Frank How, Chinaman
living in Nogales, and another China.
man living at Clifton, Mex, just
across the border from Nogales, have
been taken into custody by special
agents of the treasury and secret
service operatives.
Other arrests are expected to fol-
low within day or two.
1t is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and
immigration administrations at -
gales are involved. Some time ago
an official of the treasury depart
ment, having Nogales as his head
quarters, wrote the departments that
he had reason to believe the official
force at that point was corrupt, and
that Chinese in large numbers were
being Struggled across the border
for consideration. A secret SER
vice operative was sent there at once
and plans laid to secure evidence
against the persons under suspicion.
Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50
to 5000.
The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees
whose honesty had been tested to go
into the collectors office ait a GER
tain time and demand share OF
the money being received from China
men and to, be admitted into the
combinations so that they might get
their share of the proceeds of flu
ture deals. This was reluctantly
agreed to and considerable sums of
money were handed over in their
presence ana full hearing of Sc.
cret service man who had previously
'secreted himself in a near by office
closet.
The number of Cinnamon who
have bought their way into the
United States through the alleged
connivance of the Nogales officials
is not known, but it is believed to
be large. A special agent has been
ordered to Nogales to take charge
of the Office if he finds it necessary

PRODUCTION OF BEET SUGAR.
The Production in the United States Il
Rapidly Increasing.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The growing
belief that the United States will
shortly be able to produce from .beets
the 100000 worth of sugar which
her people now annually import
seems to be shared by British Consul
Wyndham, who has given the sub
ject close attention and reported
uron it to his government. The fol-
lowing is an extract from his report
which has just reached the treasury
bureau of statistics:
"The production of beet sugar in
the United States is rapidly increas-
ing, and in the Chicago consular dis
trict there are four factories in the
state of Illinois, three in Nebraska,
and three in Colorado; those in Ne
braska and Colorado belong to the
American Beet Sugar company, and
are at Grand junction, Rocky Ford,
and Sugar City, and when fully COM
pleted will employ thousands of
hands.
''Statistics indicate that the United
States consumes more sugar than any
other nation or approximately one
quarter of the whole of the worlds
product. The conditions of soil,
climate, and other advantages are
quite as good in the United States
and especially in Colorado, Nebraska
and Illinois for the development Of
the beet as in any of the countries
of Europe or Asia. The worlds pro-
duction and consumption of sugar is
now about 8,250,oOO tons per annum
from beets and only one-third from
cane, whilst the normal consumption
| is estimated as increasing at the rate
of 100000 tons yearly.
'The success attending the cultiva-
ton of sugar beet in this district has
proved that it may be made profit

Although certain poets have consid
cred freckles to be beauty spots, calling
them by the euphonious name of sun
kisses" those who possess them regard
the little burnt orange spots as defects
and are anxious to get rid of them.
Generally speaking, there are two
kinds of freckles-summer freckles.
which are ephemeral. and constitu-
tional or chronic freckles. The first
kind can be treated by applying such a
lotion as the following: Sulphate of
zine, 20 grains: compound tincture of
lavender. drains; rosewater. half a
pint. Another good remedy for sum.

6 ounces; glyeerin, half an ounce:

Since Cleopatra's time and her mag
nifeent pearl earring, which played
such a prominent part in her life, or,
rather, death. this particular piece of
feminine jewelry has come in and gone
out regularly with the tide of populari-
ty. Just now earrings are considered
quite the correct thing. though for 10
or 10 years they have scarcely been
worn at all.
The grown ups of that period are
probably prepared to welcome them as
old friends. To the others it will be a
new experience and means having the
ears pierced. jewelers. have been pre-
dieting for the last two years the re-
vival of this fashion, and there has
been a marked tendency in its diree-
ton, and now ii is generally admitted
that earrings are positively to be worn.
Be it understood. however, there are
conditions that must be rigidly OBJ
served. Not any kind of earrings may
be worn. In fact there is limited num-
Der TO choose from. The principal
thing is that taey must not swing.
Old earrings may be brought forth
from their velvet resting places OF
many years and undergo inspection.
If they would be converted into strictly
modern ores. they must pay visit to
the jeweler and be reset.
Two settings are permissible, the
screw and the French, this latter a
combination of the screw and the old
fashioned drop hut without the
swing. Another thing prohibited is the
single diamond, once elegantly styled
a solitaire" Pearls and turquoises,
alone or set round with diamonds, are
all you have to select from if you con
fine yourself to the earrings of fashion,
OF course pearls, lustrous and of fairly
good size, are favorites. These are rare
and expensive enough to be much de.
sired by smart women.

A Beavers Toilet.

1t is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead Of sitting up with his
large, fat, ribbed tail protruding be-
hind him, he tucked it forward between
his hind legs and sat upon it. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands at the same
time There were many places. how
ever, that could not be reached In this
way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, so he combed these
otherwise inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per-
formed with the utmost deliberation
and care and occupied msre than a
quarter Of an hour, so that by the time
it was completed daylight had almost
vanished.
My presence did not appear to dis
turb him in the least, though 1 sat on
the ground within three feet Of him
that I might the better note his various
attitudes, for it Is not often one has
an opportunity of watching beaver at
