QUEEN VICTORIA IS ILL.
Her Physicians Say Absolute Quiet Is
Necessary-Believed That Her
Days Are Numbered.

Osborne, Isle of Wight, Jan. 10.
The following official announce
ment regarding the queens health
has been made known: The
queen during the past year has
had a great strain upon her powers,
which has rather told upon her nerv-
Gus system. 1t has therefore been
thought advisable by her majesty's
physicians that her majesty should
be kept perfectly quiet in the house
and should abstain for the present
from transacting business"
The queen has passed the date
when she becomes the oldest sover-
eign that ever reigned in England,
having lived 81 years and 239 days,
which was exactly the age of her
grandfather, George III. The queens
reign has been so long and her hold
upon the affections of every one of
her subjects has been so strong that
she has become in the popular heart
the personifcation of the enduring
empire over which she holds sway.
The sad truth is that the queens
days are numbered, and there is rea-
son to fear that the Victorian era is
almost closed, and that the woman
whose days to-day passed the limit of
any previous British sovereign must
soon lay down the scepter of the en-
pire on which the sun never sets.

An idea of the. great increase of the
cost of diamonds impaired by the
labor of polishing and mounting, as
we'll as by the profits of traders, may
be obtained by comparing their price
at the mines in South Africa with
the prices in the jewelry shops. A
diamond weighing one carat, mounted
in a ring, may cost the buyer 500 or
more, but at Kimberley the average
value of diamonds is only about $6.25
per carat.
