definite line of action upon which the
Liberal party may unite.
Not the least interesting of the many
ceremonies that London will witness
next June will be the cutting of the
first sod for the Queen Victoria me-
mortal by King Edward in the presence
of his guests from all parts of the
world. The happy idea of beginning
this great undertaking at the time OF
the coronation originated with his
majesty who considered that the pres
ence in England OF s. many foreign
notabilities would provide an opportu-
nifty that the nations OF 6he world
would gladly seize to pay tribute to the
memory OF the late queen.
In a speech the Rt.-Hon. Robert
William Hamburg. President of the
Board OF Agriculture. depiored the I'M
satisfactory condition of agriculture in
Great Britain. He compared it with
that of the American farmer. which
President Roosevelt had declared was
never more prosperous. British agrI-
culture, he said. was deliberately sac
rificed fifty years ago to manufactures
He urged that the Department OF Edu-
cation give rural interests advantages
equal to those of the manufacturing
interests.
For once in way the expected has
happened, and the date which public
opinion has assigned for the King
coronation now has been officially ga
zetted on June 26. The last official
notification given was of the Kings
intention to celebrate his coronation
some day in June, 1902, and it is not
surprising therefore that Thursday

The royal proclamation is most inter

the child what the parents would glad
ly do for her if they could-nave ner
voice trained by the best masters and
fit her for the operate stage. More
than this. Calve herself will take her
for time under her own tuition.
Did any princess in a fairy book. or
out OF one, ever fare better than this?
And it mas all happened so suddenly
and unexpectedly that Edna Darch
feels as though she were afraid to open
her eyes wide lest she find she has
been asleep and it was only a dream.
She knows how that feels. for she
tried it once-just the night before she
sang for Calve.- She had dreamed that
NordiCa heard her sing and had taken
her away to Europe and made her a
great artist. Just as she was singing.
with all the world at her feet, she woke
up.
Even then. unknown to the child, a
letter had been written to Calve ask
ing her to hear Edna sing.
Not that Edna's teacher hoped for
anything NOR than a word of praise
that might be used to advertise bene-
fit concert which it was proposed to
give in January to help a little with
the expense of music lessons. The
wages of a clerk in a lumber yard do
| not warrant the training OF night
ingales.
Calve seeking rest at Pasadena, had
shut herself away from all visitors, and
that she should take time to listen to
an aspiring child singer was almost a
vain hope. But Edna had a teacher
who knew that her pupil was a genius.
and for more than year her one wish
has been that the child should sing for
truly great artist.
Something in the letter struck a
chord liz Calves warm heart. She con-
scented, and on the very day of Edna s
dream the vision of the night was
partly realized
Edna Darch, in a plain little cotton
frock, with d voice that faltered just
the least with excitement, sang for the
great song goddess, the unrecogniZed
fairy godmother.
Beautiful. ravishing, magnificent"
whispered the artist as the child sang.
1t took but one look from the deep,
wonderful eyes OF the diva to tell the
child that all was we'll, that the soul of
the other understood.
After the song there were more hugs
and kisses and more adjectives.
And then all in a moment Calve
made her plans.
She must take Edna with her, teach
her have her study and hear other great
artists, and have pretty frocks and furs
but simple, mind you, for la petite.
And then Paris and then-the world.
When Edna was nearly u, she be-
gan to study voice culture with Miss
Elizabeth Carrick. Not only must she

One of the pretty features of Mrs.
Roosevelt's afternoon reception was
that every time a child passed down
the line Mrs. Roosevelt stopped and
petted it, and frequently stopped the
line to have little talk with the
children. Another very noticeable de-
parture from the old rule of White
House receiving was that neither Mrs.
Roosevelt nor the ladies receiving with
her shook hands with any one but the
children, combining their greetings to
pleasant bow The reception lacked
all of the strict Formally and discom-

Poor Bows in ,Jupan'S Army

The enrolment OF lads from the
poorer section of the people in the
army service of Japan subjects their
parents to no small pecuniary embar-
rassment. but what specially troubles
these poor people is the fact that they
can not afford to give the necess lry al
lowances to their sons. for, humble
as they are, this is matter that
touches their sense of honor. This
was long known to other ncighbors,

EurOpe's Small Fire, Loss.

Losses by fire in European cities are
less than one-tenth OF those in the
cities here, though in Europe the fire
departments, except in one or two in
stances. are almost insignificant and
on a casual survey wholly inadequate.
With a population of 2 500, eco. Paris
for years had fire loss less thar Bos-
tons. Budapest. with larger popu-
lation than Boston. lost less than
one-tenth the amount last year that
the Massachusetts capital did.
Milan, with, half a million inhabi-
tantS. loses on the average only $3.50
900 q year. and the total damage by
fire in Venice, where 100000 people
live, was only about 100000. London
loss is only about one-fifth that OF
New York.
1t is not that the fire departments
are SO very efficient in any of these
European cities but because the build
ingS are planned on lines which rem.
der them practically fireproof. Woo

houses. but brick and stone surround
it invariably and experience has
shown that elaborate fire fightins

BoplnS for Turtles.

Young Bob Newell gave public
ttlIt.ing" exhibition Sunday after
noon on the north side of the road
to the river. He caught twenty-five of
the reptiles in a little over two hours,
and a crowd watched his performance.
He carried a pole like a pitchforil
handle, with hook at the end of it.
He would sink this at random into the
soft mud until he struck the hard
shell of the turtle; then, with a SIM
pie twist of the wrist. he would drag it
from it's bed with a long. strong pull.
The turtles he caught ranged in weight
from four to twenty-five pounds, and
were worth from sixteen cents to 81
each.-Lacon CID Journal

a Rock OF Human Interest

A recently published book. Helen
Parker" by a newcomer in the field of
letters, is a work of promise. 1t deals
chiefly with the seamy side of life in
a great city and is interesting and en-
PERTAINING as much by reason of the
earnestness of the author. Charles Ho-
mer Steele, as the comparative novelty
of its subject. The characters are well
drawn-some so strongly and so life
like as to be almost repulsive-and the
book as a whole gives promise of bet
ter work to come, with the ripenins
will bring.
The grand work done by Christian
workers and the Salvation army among
the friendless OF our cities is graphical
ly described, aud yet not overdrawu.
The book is a change. and a welcome
one, from the hackneyed style and
plots that have been so favored in re-
cent years; a story of real life and OF
characters met with in the everyday
world. Decidedly one of these books
that repay reader for perusal, and
the lesson it teaches is good and whole
some. There is no CLOSING over OF
well-known though sad facts, the friv.
olousness and heartlessuess Of a typs
of modern society woman is depicted
with a skillful hand; one feels through.
out that the author has his heart in his
work.

Virginia's Wonderful Tunnel.

most wonderful spectacle is the
famous Natural Tunnel, of Scott
County, Virginia. 1t is, situated four
teen miles west of Gate City. Stone
Creek, considerable stream, flows
through it, and at high tide rushes
along it's cavernouS bed with a noise
resembling the heaviest thunder. The
tunnel is about one-eighth of mile
in length, and curves in the form OF
the letter s. At its southern en-
trance it is very high. the noble cell
ing bending gracefully, forming a cir
culai- dome. as smooth and regular as
if followed out by the hand of art.
From this point it gradually diminish

at the northern entrance, it reaches
to within thirty feet of the surface of
the water. Here is a perpendicular
wall. almost as smooth as polished
marble and as white as alabaster
rises 400 feet high, and curves in such
a manner that to one looking up
from below the regular rim presents
IA complete semicircle. In the spring
time the summit of the wall is fringed
with green intertwined with honey
surhles. On the eastern side. Chin
ney Rock. an irregular but perpen-
diCUlar column. rises from the bottom
of the chasm TO the level of the pla-
teau above. standing clear of the wall
from base to summit. The ridge
through which the tunnel extends is
covered with a heavy growth of tim
Der, and a public highway, leading
from Clinchport to Rye Cove, passes
along it's crest. The Virginian and
Southwestern Railway has been con-
structed through the tunnel, and pre-
serts perhaps the only instance of
railroad running through a natural
tunnel Owing to the curvature the
raih DAD company had to tunnel
through the angular projection near
the northern entrance. thus making
a double tunnel.

RICHES OF EASTERN RULERS.
Fabulous stores Of Gold and Preciou,
Stones Hoarded for Centuries.


Stones Hoarded for Centuries.
At time when millions of men are
struggling their hardest for the doubt
full privilege OF keeping themselves
alive it seems difficult to realize that
Jewels and gold, whose value is count
ed in hundreds of millions of pounds,
should be lying hidden in royal houses,
untouched and seen only by priv
LEGGED and curious few.
Those who have been privileged to
gaze on the wonders of the shahs
treasure house tell astonishing stories
of wealth which is indeed beyond the
dreams of avarice, and which might

and rubies, emeraids and sapphires, so
countless that they might literally be

NETS and armor thickly incrusted with
priceless gems, and sword Scahbards
which it pains the eye to look upon,
SO dazzling are the jewels which
sheath them.
One of these scabbards is completely
covered with diamonds, the smallest
of which is as large as finger nail.
Vessels of solid gold, so large that
only strong man could lift one of
them, crowns blazing with every color
of the rainbow, chains of gold and
rare precious stones. enamels of
matchess beauty, lie scattered about
in careless prOfusion; trays are heaped
to overlooking with sapphires and
pearls, many of which are worth tens
of thousands of pounds.
4 glass case. two feet long and
foot and half in width and height,
is more than half filled with thousands
of pearls perfect in shape and luster.
BY its side is a globe of gold. twenty
inches in diameter, with seas of ener-
aids and continents of diamonds and
rubies to the number of $4,000. and
each stone specially chosen for its
purity and beauty. The weight of this
globe is 34cwt., and its value 21,000,

Among the countless treasures of
the shah are a f1awless uncut ruby said
to be as large as hens egg and

tured to estimate; a turquoise as long

wide which is so closely set with
manyhued precious stones that it is

eneralds, pearls and rubies.
OF all the native princes Of India
the Gaekwar of Baroda is the richest
in gold and Jewels. a mere catalogue
of which would fill some Of the worlds
richest millionaires with despair. One
of his most interesting, though by no
means most valuable possessions, is
a carpet. 10 feet long and feet in
width, composed entirely of a ground
work of exquisite pearls on which is
traced a design in diamonds. This
carpet. which certainly has no equal
in the world, is said to be worth
6 800, 900. or $4,000 a square foot.
OF much greater value than this car
pet of gems is a matchless collar, con-
sisting of five rows of diamonds and
two of emer2ids, the stones being of
graduated sizes from that of a walnut
to the size of pea; from this collar
of 700 of the most perfect stones in
