The Popular Fern Rail.

The lack of success in the care of
fern balls is doubtless due to the fol-
lowing causes; Either because they
are cheap and worthless ones or they
are not kept wet enough. They
should be soaked in tepid water from
ten to fifteen minutes every morning.
"A very good plan is to put hook in
the buffers pantry or some similar
place, and after the plant has been
soaked it should be hung on this hook
ito drain thoroughly before return
ing to the window. A fern ball re-
.quires plenty of light but little if any
sun. 1t should never be kept out Of
doors, even in the hottest weather.
Oraughts will ruin it.-N. Y. World.

LAKE IN THE WAY.
teAAed Arouad Lake BAikal h the Near Future.

United States Consul Thomas Smith. at Moscow, informs the depart ment of state that the trans-Siberian. railway authorities have experienced great deal of trouble with Lake Baikal, which is located in the north ern part of Asa and lies in the mineral region of that country. The lake, which is exceedingly rough the greater part of the. year, is 65 miles long, and has a great depth. The banks are very marshy for long distance from the water line to the hard ground. They have in use at present large ice-break. ing steamers of the American system, with barges connected for transporta. tion of passengers and freight. The cars also are conveyed on these barges. This arrangement, which is merely primary, was made, as they were in hurry 10 make connections. Meanwhile the Russian engineers have been sur veyine wo lines around the lake, which will cbviate the necessity of using numi 1T of tunnels. as was at first fe ared would be necessary. By the use of line around Lake Baikal there will be no delay in landing. as is the case in crossing the lake when storms gre prev alent. One of these proposed lines has been selected and will be constructed in the near future to run by the way of Olchy and Toogoontchili. so that in the distance between lrkutsh and Kooltoo. ga there will be only two, if any. tun. nels constructed.

THE QUEENS WILL.
Has Been Opened But Will Never De Made Public.
Disposition of Her ImneAas Estate Can Only Be GUesseA At-TAs1ght Prineess BsatRIes VIII Be
 Principal Beneficiary.

Queen victoria's will has been opened and examined by the duly constituted authorities, but nothing will ever b, made public officially as to the provi sions of the instrument or the amount of her private fortune.
 It is known that the queen made | will early in her reign, which was re peatedly altered and added to as chil dren and grandchildren were born, ant as her estates rapidly advanced ir value. This proceeded until 1896, wher her majesty decided to have an entirel, new document drawn, and with grea personal care this was accomplished.
 Those in a position to make any sor of a guess as to the provisions of tn, queens will declare that Princess Beat rice, widow of Prince Henry of Batten berg, will be the principal beneficiary She is the governor of the Isle of Wight and will probably inherit Osborn' house and the whole estate surround ing it. Then the duke of Connaught and his sons. who have been great ia vorites with Victoria, will receive large portion of the fortune. The duk, will probably become the owner of Bal moral and the Scottish property.
 The grandchildren who are expecte' to receive the largest bequests are tn, two children of Victoria's s youngest son the former duke of Albany.
 The queens second daughter Princess Christian of Schleswig-Hol stein, is not rich, and it is expected tha she and her four children will be fiber ally provided for.
 Edward VII, who will be amply pro vided for by the country, and the duk. of York, who comes into the duchy Cornwall, and will be the prince Wales, will probably not be sharers i the late queens private fortune.

Dr. Mary Walker, crowned with a new silk hat and switching a rattan cane. nearly broke up Mrs. Odell's tat home" at the executive mansion at Albany, N. Y., the other afternoon. The doctor has been at Albany for sev- eral days lobbying in the interest of her hospital bill.

Elbowing her way be- tween the stylishly-dressed women and holding her silk hat in her hand, she grasped Mrs. Odell by the hand and said: "Mrs. Odell, am Dr. Mary Walker. called over to pay my re- spects. I should like to see the gov. ernor if he is at home."
 ''rhe governor is at the capitol" said Mrs. Odell. pleasantly.
 "So sorry," murmured the doctor.
 "I am also sorry," said Mrs. Odell. twill you not go through the mansion and inspect it"
 The doctor would and did, followed by nearly every other woman in the reception-room.

FINDS PREHISTORIC VILLAGE
Indiana Farmer Said to Have Die covered Dones and Ancient
 Pottery h Sand Pit.

What appears to be the remains of . village of earlier civilization of Amer ica was discovered at depth of II feet on the farm of John A. Gray, re. siding nine miles north of Muncie Ind, says the Chicago Chronicle, and the discovery is attracting the atten. tion of people for mnes around. Bones of several skeletons of race of peo- pie, apparently of giant size, were found.
 Almost all were in a remarkable state of preservation. Besides these there were a number of earthen bowls or pots, several pieces of small iron rods, one bearing a handle of some un. known material. The discovery was made at the bottom of a sand pit According to the size o. the bones the persons averaged height of eight feet.
 When asked relative to the discov. cry MT. Gray told most remarkable story, which strangeiy coinciues with the discovery and which still renders the find al the more mysterious. He stated that several months ago two strange men called at his home anG asked permission to dig in the sand pit. They being strangers the priv. ilege was not granted. At this the strangers said that he would rue the refusal as long as he lived, as there was an Indian village far beneath the earth's surface, and near by would be found buried treasure in gold.
