The English throne-what Is 1t? Is 1t
the stone chair Of Westminster abbey ?
That is only occupied once by each
king or queen. and that only at the cor
onation ceremony. Is 1t the chair Of
state in the house of lords or the re-
ception chair at Buckingham palace or
the sumptuous gilt thing which the king
uses at Windsor when he receives the
foreign ENJOYS? 1t is an interesting
question, which some people would like
to have answered Most everybody,

pressions che has succeeded to the

DISGRACE TO THE STATE

1t would seem that even a grated
legislature might have a decent respect
for recognized proprieties in official
usage. How far some Of the statesmen
at Sacramento fall short of that re-
quirement may he Judged by events as
reported. It is humiliating for enlight-
ened Californians even to read of an
episode related in connection with
sc ession of the senate.
The chaplain Of the senate is a sti-
pendiary who receives SIS a day for a
brief prayer at the beginning Of daily
proceedings This person. as reported.
is attaining notoriety for his levity at
prayer as well as for his brevity, both
of which qualities seem to hit popular
chords among the lawmakers"
As an example Of these qualities 1t
is related that the chaplain today
called upon the Almighty for dispensa.
tion for the Democratic minority This
sUpposititious witticism, we are told,
caused such laugh among the scna-
tors that the presiding officer was
obliged to rap for order" And it is
said that this jocular parson is dubbed
the sky pilot and is looked upon more
in jest than in earnest"
No individual in any walk Of life,
having any pretenson to good breed
ing, would commit such fragrant act
Of indecency as the one thus ascribed
to California's state representatives.
who are dignihed with the honora BILE
title OF senator. 1t is n revelation that
shocks the moral serse of the people
and outrages the feelings of the re-
lisious element
And yet, what can be expected from
a body of statesmen" who shamelossly
grab at all the graft within reach and
clamor loudly for more? Along with
the report of that infamous incident in
the senate this example Of rapacity in
the assembly is related: Something Of
the enormity of the patronage graft of
the Legislature was indicated today
when the assembly named 172 addi-
tional attaches on top of 1O3 named
yesterday, making a total of 275 who
have been selected so far in the lower
house, an average of more than three
job holders for each assemblyman."
Many more have been added since
Instead of being an Improvement on
the legislature of two years ago in the
matter Of square-toed honesty the pres
ent bunch seems likely to break all
records for indecency in filching money
from the state treasury-and otherwise.

AGAIN IN GOLDEN LEAD

AS a gold producer california has
regained the pre-eminence temporarily
wrested from II by Colorado. The
annual report Of the geological survey,
which has Just been issued, shows
that the title Of the Golden state"
acquired in 1Sl9, is just as appropriate
in this year, A. u, 1907.
II viii surprise most readers prob
ably, to learn from the report mem
toned that California not only leads
the states in its gold product, but that
It also beats Alaska in that respect
by better than three to one. An es-
innate by the director OF the mint does
not entirely corroborate this state
ment, however, but that is only an
estimate. The gold yield of this state
last year. as officially reported. was
worth $1S,S9S,545. Alaska's showing
was $500, 000, closely followed by Ne
vada with $5,26e,OoO.
But when 1t comes to mineral prod
nets, as a whole, the figure for Cali
fornia foots up S43.4O625S. This total
includes the oil product, which is
classed as mineral the value of which
was SS,201, SAG last year.
Chief interest in the recovery OF
California's place as the greatest
American gold producer arises from
the demonstration that new era has
begun i'm the development of gold min
ing in this state. Prospects that were
abandoned years ago as not rich
enough to justify working have be-
come valuable properties by reason of
improved methods of working low
grade ore.
The revival Of gold mining in Ne
vada has greatly stimulated the in
dustry in California. From thirty to
forty years ago Nevada was called
Bonanza land" its gold mines pro-
ducing hundreds OF millions of dollars
in the precious metals within a COM
paratively brief period. But when
the bonanza mines were worked out
the gold yield of the state dropped
rapidly and finally disappeared almost
entirely.
The renewal of gold mining in Cali
fornia and Nevada promises to rival.
in product, the olden time yield. Both
states are in process of reprospecting.
causing the opening of many new
mines and the reopening of old ones
that were abandoned long ago.
The gold product of this state is
likely to exceed, for the present year,
the largely increased yield Of last
year The golden wealth OF the state
has been only partially explored and
the new era of development may lead
to results equal TO the output in the
palmiest days of old, the days of
gold. the days of 40"

DEVoTEEs OF THE WEED

At Italian prince has strictly forbid
den one of his daughters to smoke, but
so great a hold had the habit obtained
over her that she secretly engaged in
the practice at every opportunity. one
day she was induging in cigarette as
she reclined on a balcony attired in a
dress of the lightest muslin. Suddenly
her father appeared on the scene. In
the hurry to hide the evidence of her
disobedience ,he princess placed her
hand with the burning cigarette behind
her back. The result was startling and
tragic-her frock was Immediately in a
blaze. and she was fearfully burned
from head to foot, dying after suffering
intensely.
Here is another pathetic smoking in
cident An old Hungarian countryman
had smoked the same pipe for more
than fifty years. and, as a natural con-
sequence, had grown to love it as a
companion. One day however, his in
FAINT grandson smashed the pipe be-
yond all hope of repair. The old man
was so broken-hearted at his loss that
he hanged himself on a peg. In his
pocket was found a scrap of paper on
which was sCribbled: My pipe is done
for and 1 must go, too"
There is one only reigning sovereign
IN Europe who does not smoke at all,
and that is King Oscar of Sweden. The
greatest smokers are King Edward,
who smokes the very best cigars, and
KING Leopold of Belgium. who smokes
not fewer than a dozen cigars a day
The emperor of Austria smokes a pipe
morning and evening, but the other
sovereigns are contented with cigar
cites, the czar consuming about thirty
q day.
