PERFUMES OF QUEENS.
Czarina Said to Be Extravagane
in Her Use of Them.

During the recent visit to Paris Mar
gherita, the Queen Dowager OF Italy.
made extensive purchases OF perfumes,
and the papers reveal that her favorite
essence is violet. This has brought out
a discussion OF the perfumes used by
the Queens Of Europe
Il is alleged that the Czarina spends
in Paris not less than fifty thousand
francs annually on perfumes creams
soaps and toilet waters. Violet is her
favorite also. and large quantities Of
st are put up in TASKS especially for her.
She is so fond OF perfumes in gem

sprinkled with essences OF elder. jas

The gentleman ortsring the suggestion

subject In its various phases, though he
has not ascertained with accuracy the

necks would be sufficient 10 reclaim large
tracts OF land on Turkey Island and al

The soil is alluvial, easily removable and
by means OF powerful dredges II is said
the work could be done with less difficulty
than would formerly have been encounter

The Question.
The vital question Is who would bear
the cost Of the undertaking? The citv %
Richmond. the greatest probably
beneficiary, might be expected to do So
II is possible that the Federal gov
eminent might be Induced TO undertake
this matter as II has done in the great

culties and probable cost would have TO be
secured before the project could or wouif
be definitely considered.

be demonstrated to confer upon this city
