The Queen and GAMBLING.

Though the queen is to accompany
the king to the grand national next
month, she retains her dislike for
gambling. But some years ago when
the royal party was travelling down by
rail for the derby. the late King Ed
ward proposed a half crown sweep
stake on the race. and Princess Mary
drew a horse that had a fine chance.
Prince Arthur of Connaught having
drawn his usual blank. suggested he
should buy it from her present maj
esty for five shillings. She declined.
and held to her chance, which romped

who does not like gambling" remarks

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano

In the work on the Canadian North
ern railway tunnel the engineers have
found that Mount Royal. under which
the line will pass, was ut one time
either an active volcano or was mado
by lava being forced up through the
ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at one time great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian mountains to the
st. Lawrence river was found In the
small heading on Ste. Monique gneiss,
a rock peculiar to the Laurentian
mountains. and II is believed that In
the past this rock was carried down
by a glacier. which probably emptied
into the st. Lawrence river not far
rom the present harbor.

WOMEN KNOWN BY JEWELS
served and Carefully Catalogued
by Society.

A woman frequently changes her
face and always her gown. while to
change her jewels is an event calling
for chronicle. Richard Barry writes in
the New York Times.
rs that Mrs. So-and-So in box -
heard one woman ask another the
other night.
Let me see." replied her COM
panion. Selling the glasses. mo. Mrs.

mo. With the oval brooch set
with opals."
"Oh, That is Mrs. Or-to-Be's
brooch. but II doesn't look like her
daughter. only she never will let any
one wear her opals; lucky for her,
unlucky for another is her idea What
has she done to her face?"
These women. their dependents and
their intimates hold their jewels in
the affectionate regard that another
group of women might hold their chill
dren. The entrance to the circle OF
each new piece of jewelry is noted
and commented on carefully. It un-
dergoes jealous observation at first.
Then, II deserving 1t, it achieves a
place and is duly caralogued.
Look! There is that little Miss
Pretty. It's her first night. She's
barely eighteen, and see that string of
diamonds. do think that is rushing
1t bit, don't you? They might wait
till the second year, at least. for a
necklace like that. However. give me
your glasses; they are better than
mine"
After a moment she releases the
glasses with a satisfied smile. AT
any rate" she observes, they are
perfectly matched and just the right
size"
So 1t goes. Jewels the center OF at
tention; jewels which mark the dis
tinctive elements of personality. From
the tiny necklace, which Is the JOY

Sunshine, PIants-and Girls.

Sunlight is so important to life that
II is littleFwonder that sun worshlpers

that the only girls with red cheeks

Gus sunshine. The many pale girls who
are to be seen with a bloodless, half
baked sort of face. whose walk. whose
voice and whose whole expression Is
devoid of spirit, are not half ripe.
