WorklDB For th (jueen of Knland.
Tlio nliscnce of Quoen Yictoriu iu Flor
eiieo lias spared her tlio pain of reading
in tlio London newspapers tlio ungrate
ful declaration of a man employed ns
favter on her Windsor privnto estale.
The tnnn vii9 ik fc-n Innt in a civil net ion
Involving tho payment of money nnd
plended poverty. Tho queen, ho said,
paid no better than oilier people, and her
peoplo had to work harder, lliswa. s
Wcr 10 shillings a week nnd lod.'dnpi
found, which did not leave: him much to
sparo nfter feeding himsolf,
"Ah," said tho mai,nstrato trying tho
enso, "yon should think of tho honor."
Tho defendant sturdily replied, to tho
limazement of tho court, that thero
wasn't much honor to bo got out of 10
shillings a week.
It would seem from this caso that tho
queen pays her farm laborers and work
men generally on her privnto estate from
2 to 4 shillings a week less than tho aver
age wnges in tho district, which is not nt
nil surprising to those who know her
frugal, not to say parsimonious mind.
She would not in nny case read tho in
dignant comments of tho radical press,
because she reads only the Tory Times,
Morning Tost and Whig Daily Telegraph
when nt home, nnd not one of these
would venture to hurt her feelings by
referring to such a mntter. During her
stay abroad sho sees only Tho Times,
which of course is absolutely safe read

Young Men In Folltlrs.
Mr. Chaunoey M. Depcw lias written
for Donahoe'a Magnzino an article in an
swer to the question, "Should yonng
men go into politics?" Mr. Depew an
swers no thnt is, ho strongly advises
yonng men not to adopt politics as a ca
reer. But this answer is based upon present
conditions upon the low estate in which
we find American politics today. How
the tone of pnblio lifo is to be raised un
less young men of strong and conscien
tious patrotism and unselfishness enter
it and strive to improve it be does not
tell ns.
Taking things as they are, however,
this passage from Mr. Dcpew's article is
admirable:
"Every young man should be inter
ested in politics and take as active a
part in the political affairs of his neigh
borhood as the time at his disposal from
his business will permit. He should lie
long to some party and understand its
principles. Ho should attend its cau
cuses and do such party service as he
can. He should never fail to vote on
election dny; when there are movements
on foot for reforms necessitated by cor
ruption or to put bad men out of office,
he should be on hand and ready to fight
for the redemption of hia city, town or
state."
Chicago's Motley Crowds.
Sixteen races, with features built on
all the lines of facial architecture, rode
side by sido in a World's fair smoker lust
evening. Tho collection was so speckled
and mottled indisposition and color that
a census was taken. There wore two
gibbering Zulus, who had come with
African diamond dust; tliroe sad Turks,
with fezzuB and scimitors; a group of
Chinese actors; a ensive Spaniard, with
sombrero; a begogglod Englishman, who
divided a strap with an Arab; a brace of
Frenchmen, all angles and points; a high
browed and long whiskered Russian, a
bronzed Greek, a Kansas farmer; just
over Germans, who crowded a mild man
nered man from Ceylon; a handsome
Viennese; two Egyptians, with bare
legs; four Venetian gondoliers in citi-
rou's clothes, and a Norwegiun commis
sioner, Chicago Herald.
Tho Iligifest Fresh Water Cargo.
Tho now stoamor Solwyn Eddy, the
largest freight carrier in the world float
ing on fresh wntor, was loaded recently
for her initial trip. She curries the larg
est cargo of wheut evor shipped on the
lakes. A close estimate places her exact
capacity at 150,000 bushels or about US,
000 bushols more than the largest cargo
ever carried on the lukes.
An ordinary f roight car carries about
SOO bushels of whoat, and the Sulwyn
Eddy's cargo is equal to 800 carloads.
A truin containing 800 cars would be
about two miles long. Twelve engines
would be required to draw snob a train.
The cargo of the Eddy, if ground into
flour and mode into bread, would feed
80,000 people for one year. Dotroit Tribune.
Bottled an Old Wat Debt.
John Railey, who lives about fonc
miles from Trimble, Tenn., is one of tho
happiest men in tlio comity. Tho causa
was tho receipt by express of (f'l.'i, not a
cent of which ho expected to receive.
In 1MI1 a squad of tho Fifty-fourth
Pennsylvania cavalry, who wero out on
a scout endeavoring to learn something
of tho movements of General Forrest,
ramiied nt a spring near Mr. Railey'i
resilience, Tho following morning be
fore departing they rodo up to Rntlcy s,
all but one, who veas walking. The man
on foot went to tho bam nnd led ont
tho finest horse thcro. Railey expostr
lntod in vain.
"Let that horso loose. 1 wouldn't
take $250 for that horso, you low down
Yankee thief, he angrily exclaimed.
"Don't worry yourself so, pardner,"
mildly replied the soldier. "You see,
my horse died last night, and I am bound
to have another. If I wero to depend on
my feet to get mo out of this country,
Forrest would get mo suro." And ho took
the horse.
At thnt time Bailey was Well off, but
now ho is poor. Recently ho received ft
letter signed Frank K. Walldran, which
contained the purchase vnluo of tho
horso nnd the nccnmulated interest. Mr.
Wnlldrnn lives in Reading, Fn., and
though for a long timo himself the vic
tim of adversity is now well to do nnd
hns nt last found himself nblo to pay for
tho horso ho took so many ycura ngo.

The Tirltlsh Crowing Thrifty.
Ib the spendingpower of tho British peo
ple diminishing, or nro we, ns a nntion,
lenniing the painful lesson of thrift in lit
tle things? It is a roniarknblo fact in con
nection with the holiday season that at a
large placo of London entertainment the
receipts in the refreshment departmeut
on Easter Mouday were lower than in
previous years by about 20 per cent. The
demennor of tho visitors to this estab
lishment left nothing to bedesired. They
were orderly, sober and in every wnv
well behnved. Yet, for some reason or
other, they or their families did not an.
pear to stand in ns much need of solid
and liquid nourishment as iu times gone
by. This fulling off, it may bo remarked,
was not only or chiefly in alcoholic
drinks. It extended with equal severity
to the nonintoxicntiug cup of tea and
the hnrmlcss, necessary sandwich. Lon

Tillndfoldod For the Wedding Ceremony,
Some unusual evidence was adduced
before Judge Collins in tho divorce case
of Nathan Laborich against Sarah La-
borich. The complainant testified that
he married the defendant in Russia; that
according to tho laws of that country he
was not permitted to see his wife, and
that both of the contracting parties were
blindfolded when the ceremony, which
took pluce in a dark room, was ier
formed. Tho marriago, he said, was ar
ranged by the parents of his wife and
himself, and his parents wore imposed
upon, as he discovered thut his wife was
of unsound mind. Ho came to this conn'
try and placed her in an asylum. Later
she was removed to Elgin, where she is
at present, A decree was granted.

Would Die RnthcrThan Testify.
Mrs. Cnrrie E. Welch, about S3 years
of age, entered station 2, Cambriilgeport,
late Tuesday night and dropped a note
on the captain's desk. It was an an
nouncement that tho writer intended to
tnko her lifo rather than testify in the
divorce caso of her parents, which was
to bo called the following day. "You
will find my body," said the note, "in
tho Charles river near the Western ave
nuo bridge." A policeman was sent aft
er the woman, who had hurried away,
and in a short time he overtook her and
carried her back. When they reached
the station, physicians were sent for, and
it was discovered that she had taken
poison. She was finally pronounced ont
of danger and was placed in charge of
the matron of station 1 for the night,
and the next day was taken to her home.

A Wealthy Vagrant.
A ragged and dirty vagrant who gave
the name of John Walsh, 44 Heywnrd
street, Brooklyn, was arrested the other
day by Policeman McGownn nt the cor
ner of Fulton and Cumberland streets in
thnt city. Ho was chnrged with lonng-
ing and vagrancy.
When the sergeant took stock of the
contents of tho man's pockets, he nenrly
fninted with astonishment. First a roll
of bills amounting to f:l0 wns found,
then an Emigrant Savings bank liook
showing deposits of $2,200 turned up,
nnd lastly theoflicor took from nn inside
pocket a book issued by the Provident
Savings bank of Jersey City, which gave
John Walsh credit for having $1,000 in
tho bank's keeping. Then the tnnn him
self produced from nnother pocket a
certificate of deposit in nn English bnnk
which ndded I'J.OOO to his assets.
In the Butler street court the wealthy
vagrant was fined $3, which he paid with
some reluctance from the roll of bills

"It is lnughablo." said Clerk Burney
at the Arlington last night, "to observe
what consternation a strango face will
create in a crowd of public men nowa
days. "You will see several of tho latter
talking aud joking, when suddenly some
one not known to them will approach.
A startled look flashes over their faces,
nnd the newcomer receives n cold recep
tion unless he happens to bo a newspaper
man or a political power.
"What is tho cause? Why, tiffico seek'
ing. Every senator nnd representative
in tho city is approached 00 times a dny
by somo man wanting his application in
dorsed, and tho senators usually are pre
sented witha letter of introduction, mak
ing escape impossible They must in
dorse or make an enemy, and if they in
dorse tho application it means so much
of their patronage gono from their
friends. No wonder they look frightened
at the si nh t of a strange face approach

Faints at the Mention of llluod.
The district court is somewhat unde
cided as to what is tho best courso to
pursue in tho case of the Stnto versus
Edward Porter, charged with carving
anothor colored man named Clark with a
knife. The trouble arises over the fact
that Juror Oswald is taken with a fit
every time blood is mentioned, and the
case has to rest until ho recovers. Tho
very mention of a wound or the showing
of a knilo Bends him into a fit of shivers.
and the attorneys are struggling along
in an effort to conduct tho case without
the use of gory details. That is prae
tically impossible. The court cannot re
lease the jury uud try tho case again un'
der tho rulo that a man once in jeopardy
isalwaysin jeopardy and cannot bo tried
twioo, except in caso of a disagreement.
The caso is a peculiar one. Minneapolis

Switched OAT by m lltirro.
A peculiar accident happened the other
day on the Bnkershcld and San Miguel
railroad nt Asphalto. Tho train was
tnado up and ready to start for Bakers
field, when a young burro was seen rub
bing himsolf on the switch. When the
train started, tho shriek of tho locomo
tive whistle frightened him, and he
jumped with such force against tho
switch as to throw it open just as the
train arrived. As a result the locomo
tive and four of tho cars were ditched.

Hawk Noses a Very Old Feature.
It is a mistake to suppose that the

Tho "lliisln" of an Apple.
One end of the applo bears the name
of "basin" and contains the remnants
of tho blossom sometimes called the
eye of the fruit This part of the apple
is deep in some varieties and shallow ami
open in others. This Ib the weakest point
in the wholo applo as concerns tho ques
tion of the keeping quality of the fruit.
If tho basin is shallow and the canal to
tho coro firmly closed, thore is much less
likelihood of the fruit decaying than
when it is doep, and the evident opening
connects the center of tho fruit with the
surface. Professor B. D. Halsted in

electrolysis In Water Pipes.
A considerable amount of anxiety hns
recent ly been caused, esjiecially among
corporations controlling waterworks, by
tho discovery that the passage of electric
cars has a tendency to seriously injure
tho water pipes of a city by causing elec
trolysis. At a meeting of a waterworks
association an electrical engineer stated
thnt in some cases under his observation
lend pipe had entirely disnppenred by tho
action of the electric current, and a like
result had nttended tho uso of iron, gal
vanized iron, brass and "rustless" pijies.
The corrosive action takes place whoro
the current leaves the pipe and not
where it enters it, and the phenomena
mentioned were undoubtedly owing to
the operation of electric cars. It is sat
isfactory to know that should the eleti-'
trolysis of water pipes become so serious
a question ns it is thought by some it
may, a certain remedy, although it
would Incrense the cost of wnter instal
lations, would bo tho insulation of the

Mot Vp In American Ceoeraphy.
The congenitul inability of tho British
mind to muster tho trivial details of
American geography was never mow
strikingly illustrated than in the Londoc
Lancet's recent report upon tho Chicngc
wnter supply. This wns a long and vor
carefully prepared paper, whose uiui
conclusions aro doubtless us accurate at
human skill can nniko them, yet iu the
opening paragraph we nre gravely in
formed that a portion of tho sowugo "is
pumped over a lock into a canal, which
carries it fur south into tho Missouri and
eventually into tho Mississippi river."
Evidently Tho Lancet man is blissfully
ignorant of the fact that tho Missouri) a
