Queen Aiexandra,s Cat Fancy.

1t is we'll known that Queen Alex
andra, England's well-beloved Queen.
is an expert dog fancier, but that she
is also a cat fancier has not been at
all well known until very recently. In
fact, the special liking for cats that
her Majesty has lately displayed
threatens to supplant entirely her fan
cy for blue ribbon dogs.
She found that her dog breeding was
so widely known and SO generally cop1
led that she decided to drop that and
go in for raising tabbies. In pursuance
of her policy of thoroughness, Queen
Alexander at once secured small
army of the best breeds. These cats
are much in evidence at Buckingham
Palace, Windsor and Sandringham. To
friends DESTROYS of possessing cat Of
exalted pedigree the Queen is most
generous. giving freely of her host OF
felines.
Six cats are the favorites of the
Queen, one, Sandy-so named because
born at Sandringham--a valuable Per-
sian, being the particular favorite, and
travelling as constantly with his mis-
tress for the past several months as
ever the Kings celebrated Irish ter
fer Jack did. The feline prcteges Of
Alexandra find no favor in the sight
of Edward VII, for he cordially de-
tests them ALL. Illustrated Sporting

Honest Journalisn,s influence.

That clean, honest newspaper exc
erts an influence far wider and more
forceful than would the individual
opinions of the editor if set forth in
any other form cannot be denied, says
the Houston Chronicle. The public
treats its utterances as purely imper-
sonal,s and involuntarily and in large
measure unconsciously differentiates
the editorial from the individual who
writes it, even if, which is rarely the
case, the writer be known. The in
duence of any newspaper, SO far as
its editorial columns are concerned, de-
ponds absolutely upon the fairness,
business and honesty Of it's treatment
of men and measures. A newspaper
may possess. every material, mechan-
ical and financial equipment and have
an extensive circulation, but unless
the public believes its editorial columns
are not for sale, and that they contain
nothing that does not reflect the hon
est convictions of it's editorial manage
ment, fearlessly and fairly expressed,
it will have no influence on the public
mind.

Speaking before the Congress of the
Sanitary Institute at Glasgow, Lord
Biythswood said that there was no
better sanitary officer than the sun
itself. 1t would give his hearers some
idea Of what chimneys threw into the
atmosphere when he told them that in
Glasgow $500 pounds of black mineral
dirt and grease dropped annually on
an acre Of land.
The question was frequently asked,
Were we degenera ting? Well, we GER
tainly should degenerate as race
unless the people who were gathered
together in large communities were
given that power Of recuperation
which the natural elements of health
demanded. He would like to bring
to their notice persona; experience.
Living as he did within seven miles Of
Glasgow, he had been able to observe
the effect of the smoke upon the trees
and the fruit. When he was 4 boy he
remembered that any amount of april
cots and greengages were grown on
the wall trees in the gardens. The trees
were still there, but for years there
had not been such a thing as fruit.
There had been as much care given
to the trees, but in the Valley of the
Clyde the smoke had blotted out the
yiyifying rays of the sun, and the
consequence was that so far as the
finer grades OF the fruit were con.
cerned they were absolutely extinct.

the New York Press. 1t is said that
George Boldt has cleared as much as
100000 a year as his share of the
profits Of the Waldorf-Astoria, and
people are figuring how much Ham

Colonel "Jack'' and William Waldorf

Chesty Newsie.

Beggars are seldom well dressed; but
this one, by dint of much perseverance,
seemed to have thrived in his profess
sion. His crutch and beggar's sign
hardly distinguished his calling, be-
cause the usual accompaniment of sad
rags was missing. A tattered news
boy, with lordly strut, came stroll
ing by. He had just sold out his
papers and was taking things easy.
He slowed up, assumed a position OF
rest, and changed his cigarette to the
corner of his mouth with the precise
angle of elevation; then he squinted at
the beggar. He was hardly more than
ten or eleven years old.
"Struck it tough, hev ye?" said the
boy to the beggar, in charitable sort
of way,
The beggar did not answer. 1t was
useless to ask the boy for anything.
It would be like drawing blood out of
turnip.
"Aw, take this and gimme back three
cents" said the newsboy, suddenly
seized with stroke of benevolence.
The beggar was taken by surprise,
and as he held out his trembling hand
for the five-cent piece his eye faltered.
Jaw, keep Their change; keep Their
whole jit," the newsboy added with a
sigh. Civ it ter the kids at home"
he added; II know whut it is ter hev
er family merself."
He was only boy Of ten, and he
squared his shoulders as he walked
thoughtfully down the street.-Atlanta
