Statues of Queens.

There are three queens commenor-
ated by statues in the city of London
Victoria, Anne and Observation-Disclosures
most Londoners would be puzzled to
find the efigy the last named. Anne
is left untouched in her lonely splen-
dor in st. Paups churchyard, says the
London Chronicle. The figure of our
late queen at Temple Bar is being
cleaned by the corporation, as is also
that of her son and successor at the
same, place, and it is to be regretted
that, while their loyalty leads them to
brighten the obstructive column which
bears these statues, it is not strong
enough to inspire them to remove that
beast that never grew Tor that bird
that never few which crowns it. It is,
however, sad that at the church Of st.
Dunstan's in the west, only few yards
off, the greed of seat letters will pre-
vent the king from seeing the fine old
effigy of one of the most famous of his
famous predecessors, great Elizabeth.
Probably Edward VII. will regret
that a three-guinea seat blocks his
view of the sister of Edward vi.

Mines OF Wax.

In several parts Of the world res
inous substance, called ozocerite, and
bearing considerable resemblance to
beeswax, is found, usually in connec-
ton with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits IN austria, Kuss1a. Huu=
mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and
Mexico, but, says the Brooklyn Citizen,
ozocerite has,. so far, not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except in the dis
trict of ROryslav, in Austrian Gal1cia,
and on an island on the west coast Of
the Caspian Sea. In mining this min
eral wax shafts are sunk until a bed
or 'nest'' of ozocerite is struck. Then
connecting galleries are driven. There
is considerable danger, and many lives
have been lost in consequence Of the
sudden forcing up of the soft wax into
the shafts by the enormous pressure
to which it is subjected. It is used
largely for manufacturing ceresin
which is employed, together with bees
wax, for making wax candles, as well
as in the manufacture Of phonograpt
cylinders, and for many similar pur
poses.

FIRST PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Started in Charleston. S. c.. in 1893 and
Is Still in Operation.
The city of Charleston boasts Of the
first library in this country supported
by public funds. In the year 1893 the
South Carolina Assembly. appropriated
a substantial sum of@1noney for the
purchase of books for public library.
The Lords Proprietors supplemented
the appropriation, later, and the library
was governed by officials appointed by
the Assembly, under the oldest library
laws Of America.
In 1749 officers of Library Society
were elected in Charleston. and soon
had membership Of one hundred and
sixty. At the time Of the Revolution
this society owned between six and
seven thousand books, besides PAM
phlets and philosophical instruments,
all of which save about 200 volumes
were destroyed by the great fire Of
IT'S The society, however, preserved
it's identity, began the labor Of collec-
ton, and in 1886 removed to the build
ing which it now occupies. It was en-
dowed in 1900 with the property, real
and personal, of the South Carolina
Jockey Club, including the historic
Washington Race Course, now leased
by the Charleston Exposition.
The society's collection includes
much that is rare and interesting-se
eral volumes of Incunabula, "Mr. VIM.
Shakespeare's comedies, histories and
tragedies, published according to the
original copies. Second impression;
London Printed by Thos. Cote for
Robt. Allot, and are to be sold at the
sign of the Black Beare, in st. Paul's
Church-yard, 1861" There are files of
newspapers from 1882 to date, a collec-
tion of autograph, letters and one of
MSS.

Birds Eggs and Science.

It is not often that science acknowl-
edges herself at fault in an apparently
simple matter, but she frankly does so
in regard to the color and marking Of a
large proportion of birds eggs. A rea-
son there must be for their infinite di-
versity-it cannot be an esthetic one.
and all we can say with any confidence
is that the ever-pervading instinct of
distrust is probably exhibited in egg
shells as in more important things, and
the main idea in their scheme of color
alton has been the securing of safety
from many enemies by harmonizing
them with their surroundings. But it
is a scheme full of perplexing excep-
tons, which any one can study for him
self at this charming season.-Pall Mall

:" TEVE CALDWELL'S vacation

had not found his affinity
amongst the lawn-decked beauties Of
the place, was tired, remorseful and
"broke." Thursday, having counted
his small change and telephoned home

determined to leave on the Saturday

summer girls of North Harbor had

himself "a mark" and vowed that
thereafter he would "vacate" in some

wiles of women penetrate not and
where high balls and penny ante are

Young colts are easily injured and
seem to use but little precaution for
their safety. To avoid injury they
should be turned out on pastures that

A Cheap Homemade Fence.

improvised this spring what was
intended to be a temporary fence, but
have decided to let it remain. It is
made with smooth wire, is easy to
build, cheap, effective. and I believe
durable. The slabs are heart pine, and
light Such slabs cost here fifty cents
per 100. 1 used twisted wire bought
some years ago for So per 100 pounds
I estimate the cost as approximating
twenty cents per rod put up, including
cedar posts, set twenty feet apart.
Three wires were stretched the whole
line. I had been tearing down some
old buildings and had lot of slabs
five feet long. about three inches wide.
and scant half inch thick. wove
these in with the wire and also dug
shallow trench to keep the lower ends
of the Stats in place. I did not use a
wire stretcher but drew the wire pretty
tight and the weaving process took up
the slack. The fence as finished looks
neat, and stops chickens, turkeys, dogs
and larger stock.-W. 81. Rowland. in

How to Begin DairyinE.
In many localities dairying would be
profitable, but farmers are not used to
this kind of work. and take to 1t slow
". The first thing to overcome is the
dislike for the work. This is difficult
problem, as few men are really fond of
milking. If this can be overcome by
keeping good cows which make the
business profitable, the next serious
problem is that of good roads. Poor
roads are a great detriment where milk
has to be hauled to the creamery. Mr..
Gilkerson, of Northern Illinois, former
! ly dairyman in the Elgin district.
believes that large, roomy cows should
be selected, possibly Short-Horns or
Holsteins. He believes that a general
purpose animal, that is, one producing
large quantities of milk and also fairly
| good beef, is the best He admits
that raising ones own cows is the best
method, but, under present conditions.
he thinks it more profitable for farm
ers to buy their cows from outside
sources, selecting rangy animals with
milk characteristics. Get up cooper
ative creamery association as soon as
possible. Remodel barns so that win
ter dairying can be carried on, as this
! is by far the most profitable.-Ameri-

FINSEN LIGHT TREATMENT
A REMEDIAL SYSTEM WHICH MAY WIN
FOR IT'S AUTHOR A NOBEL PRIZE.

1t was rumored a few days ago that one
of the five $4,000 prizes founded by NJ
Nobel the inventor of dynamite. went this year
to Professor Finsen, of Copenhagen, whose
method of treating disease has attracted great
deal of attention within the last few years.
The statement was not correct for 1902. but
it may well prove true another year Others
besides the learned and benevolent Dane
have known that there are certain rays of the
spectrum which exercise baleful influence upon
bacteria These are the visible violet and in
visible "ultra-violet" rays. which are so ser
viceable in photography because Of their cheIni-
cal power The discovery first made In
regard to solar radiance, and Finsen began by
exposing his patients to the sunlight only lie
soon found though, that coudiness seriously in
terfered with that policy. AS 1t had been ascer-
tained that the light OF an electric arc. when
analyzed, contains abundance of violet and
ultra violet radiance, Fnsen set to work to
devise apparatus of such form as to utilize
this Thus he would have at his command the
desired agent at any time OF the day or night,
and be- independent of the weather.
The disorder which has shown the most
marked amenability to this kind of treatment
is tuberculosis of the skin. called by medical
men lupus vulgaris. In a special hospital which
has been established in Copenhagen, and known
as the Finsen Institute. 456 cases had been
treated up to the close Of the year 1900 OF
these large proportion were so thoroughly
cured that for two three years there was no
recurrence of the trouble. The treatment
necessarily slow since few patients required less
than twenty sittings, of an hour each, one daily,
while MANY had from three hundred to five hun
dred Nevertheless the success which attended
