Queen vicsoria.s Own Depot.

The fact is not generally known that the Queen has a private railway sta- ton. This is at Gosport, and is used by her majesty when embarking for Osborne The station consists of a long semicircular platform. the end of which is connected with pontoon, against which the royal yacht is us- ually moored. It Is a strange fact that no other member of the royal family ever uses this station.

Women Live Longer Than Men.

Statistics of the various countries are remarkable on this point. In Ger many only 113 out of 1000 males reach the age of 50, while more than 800 of 1000 females reach that age. In the United States there are 2,6S3 fe- male to 1898 male cententarians. In Frace of ten centenarians seven are women and only three men. In the rest of Europe of twentv-one centen- arians sixteen are women.

Wore His Old Hat Home.

They were talking about getting bald
"Men wear their hats too much" the
doctor was saying. 81 have noticed
that a great many business men wear
them in their offices. The head should
be kept bare as much as possible"
MY partner always wear an old straw
hat around the store" replied a Market
street merchant. "He wears this in
winter as well as in summer, or at least
he did until last winter, when he had
an experience that cured him of it,
Zone very cold afternoon he left the
office early, and as he walked briskly
through the street he noticed in a rather
absentminded way that he was attract
ing considerable attention. People turn
ed and looked after him and laughed.
1t was not until he had walked five or
six blocks that he realized what it all
meant. He met a lady of his acquaint-
ance, and when he went to raise his
hat he found that he was still wearing
the old straw one, having forgotten to
change it when he left the office For
tunately there was a hat store near by,
and he went in and bought one more
suitable to the season."-Philadelphi

Dozen. In England.

Don't imagine that a dozen always
means u things. In the Staffordshire
potteries and in the earthenware trade
a dozen to this day represents that
number of -. s.)ecial article which
can be offered at any fixed price.
For instance. the pitchers, which are
called jugs in the trade, are sold as 2,
8, 4, 6, 8, II, 10, a, 80 and SO pieces to
each dozen, the price for dozen being
constant.
The ordinary pitcher holding a quart
represents u to the dozen, while pint
pitcher is "a to the dozen and Is so call
ed when dealing with that size.
Few of the articles of the trade are
sold in dozens of II, plates being al
most the only ones and some of them
being sold 60, 20 and even so to the
Dozen
Besides these curiosities in figures
the potters have peculiar names, such
as cockspurt, tWifiers, ETC., that make
up trade language of itself.
The bakers dozen of IS is a recog-
nized figure in their trade.

When we behold wide, turf covered
expanse, we should remember that its
smoothness, on which so much Of its
beauty depends, is mainly due to all
the inequalities having been slowly
leveled by worms. 1t is a marvellous
reflection that the whole Of the superb

A very hot iron should never be used

Calieoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be ironed ON the wrong SIDE
Clotheslines are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and ironed with a very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhot, as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
Embroiderles should be ironed on a
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of little refined borax in
the water instead of using a washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to
fade should be soaked and rinsed in
very salt water, to set the color, before
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with a moderately
warm iron when taken from the line

why the Mole Is Blind.

The creatures which dwelt in the
darkness of the depths naturally lost
their powers of vision after awhile. 1t
is the same way with the mole, which
is doubtless descended from progeni-
tors which could see. Blindness in the
mole is the result of a degeneration of
the optic nerve, the consequence of
which is that images formed in the eye
itself are not transmitted to the ami
mails consciousness. Occasionally a
mole can see little out of one eye
which has retained its communication
with the brain.
1t is not that the mole is born blind,
but that it inherits tendency to afro
ply of the visual organs just as peo-
pie derive from their parents an incli-
nation to consumption or other dis
eases. Some day in the future there
may be no such thing as mole that is
not entirely and hopelessly blind

Heads Much Alike.

Most expert craniologists insist that
it is extremely difficult to determine
sex from the skull, but admit there are
a few distinctions which taken togeth-
er indicate sex. Perhaps the most
marked distinction is the prominence
of the bony projection over the nose.
The skull in man is thicker and stron-
GER and the mastoid processes beneath
the ear are larger. Broca Is authority
for the opinion that If the skull rests
certainly a mans. In woman the top
of the head appears f1atter, while in
man the curve from before backward
is more smooth and even. Greek sculp-
tors always recognize this.-Health

If the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence in America, lie would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
on the Ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as Is put upon the best
horses and cattle. As natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was the alb
normal growth of a plant abnormally
raised in dollhouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,

QUEEN ELlZABETH'S FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.

She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as a more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrously and most inappropriately
magnificent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful feminine) observer can
doubt that vain man is yainer than
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels, and it was her
habit in public to pull her rings off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration of a
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due d'Anjou, who was at one time one
of her suitors, had been told what a
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superstitious terrors of her own
conscience in her high handed and i'm
pudent treatment of the bishops, whose
interest in methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
teIligent, entirely unhampered by any
squeamish feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristic of cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed, if one observe
closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always a
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded in
this respect will hardly bear reading
by US sensitive folk today.-Margare
Deland in Harper's Bazaar
