Scveral newspapers, in explaining to

their readers how Queen Victoria came to succeed William IV, say it was be- C2 he was his niece. That is the treth, but only half the trath, for W1ll- iaco LV had nephews and other nieces.

The @neen succeeded William 1V not becanse she was simply his niece, but because she was the only child of the brother next to him in the order of succession.

From the revolution of 1688 rose the #acobite party, made up of those who supported the cause of James II, hia sou# and descendants. The picturesque modern Jacobites do not recognize Queen Victoria, despite the fact that her succession is due to her Stuart blood, for she is a direct descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of James I, to whose heirs the title to the throne de- volved by the act of settlement on the dcath of Anne.—Boston Transcript.

Deafness In School Chfildren.

The fact that myopia is frequent among school children is well known. It is not so well known that impair- ed hearing is also frequently met with. The children thus affected are often ac- cused of being lazy and inattentive, when in reality their ears are at fault. Lelct shows that th3se cases are quite common, are easily recognized, are gen- erally curable and when cured a large nuniber of children are transformed, so to speak, both from a physical and a imcral standpoint. According to Weil of Stuttgart, the proportion of school children with impaired hearing is 3& per cent; according to Moure of Bor- deanux, 17 per cent. Helot agrees with Gete and other aurists that the propor- tiou is 25 per cent, or one-fourth. All the children in a class should be care- fully examined, and these semideaf pu- pils will always be found among the poor scholars. The cause of infirmity is to be sought for—nasopharyngeal catarrh following measles, scarlatina, whooping cough, adenoid vegetations, hypefrophied tonsils, etc. —and normal conditions are to be restored by appro- priate treatment. — Popular Science News.

Humbert’s Generosity.

King Humbert’s generosity in chari- table works is said to be fabulous. A petition hardly ever remains without an answer. His majesty spontaneously gives presents to those persons to whom he does not wish to grant subsidies. These presents are generally of two

kinds—a golden clock with the royal |

arms or a brooch set in diamonds. His jeweler supplies him each year with 500 clocks and 1,000 brooches. King Humbert never goes to the theater save on the occasion of an official solemnity. He says that he finds no pleasure in artificial life.

‘‘I play a part every day,’’ he says, ‘tin the political and official comedy. What ean the other comedians teach me?’’-—Rome Letter.

The wonderful lightness of this material in proportion to its strength has excited comment of late, and new uses are con- stantly being made of it. Scaffoldings of bamboo have the advantage of lightness and strength. It predicted that this material will come into general use for such purposes. An additional advantage 1s that bamboo resists decay in water as well

A Philosophic Sweep.

‘*The best thing I heard,’’ writes a cor- respondent of the London Daily News, ‘‘in the great crowds which thronged the streets of the westyenc came from the mouth of a weep. Rolling out of Piccadilly into Serkeley street came one of those splendid old family carriages, gorgeous with golden lions and dragons, heavily hung with ma- roon trappings, guarded by fgywo maroon footmen in the rear, driven by a burly maroon coachinan in a curly wig, eontain- ing two visions in white with lovely beu- quets. At that momeng the sweep I refer to and his friend were emerging into Pic- cadilly, with blackened faces and brushes, having evidently just trensacted some af- fair of business, When this splendid yehicle attracted their attention. Says ore, ‘ Bill, I wish we was them!’ ‘Why?’ answered Bill, much surprised. ‘They'll have to die the same as us.’ I have just turned over the ‘Meditations of Marcus Aurelius’ in search of some more profound reflection upon the inequality of our lots on this ant heap of ours, and in vain.’’

Searching For Light.

A well dressed, sensible looking woman strolled into Roosevelt hospital not long ago and asked if they had any X rays. ‘*T’ye read a lot about them,’’ she said be- fore the astonished attendant could reply, ‘‘and how much good they are, so I just thought I'd like to try them. I haven’t been well for some time now, and I’ve tried most everything. Can you let me bave a bottle of X rays?’’-—New York Sun.

Aman who negle¢ts his health is sailing his craft of life in datsrerous seas. He cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he is imperiling his most precious endow- ment. All the wealth in the world, all the power in the world, all the pleasure in the world, all the love and poetry and music and nobility and beauty are but dust in the mouth of the man who has lost his health.

_Keeping healthy means looking after the disorders that ninety-nine men in a hun- dred neglect. ‘ You cannot get the average, every-day man to believe that indigestion or biliousness, or costiveness or headache or ioss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in the morning and dullness through the day amount to much anyway. He will ‘‘ pooh, pooh’’ at you, until some morning he wakes up and finds himself sick abed. Then he will send for a doctor and find out to his surprise that all these disorders have been but the danger signals of a big malady that has robbed him of his health, possibly forever. It may be consumption or nerv- ous prostration or malaria or rheumatism or some blood or skin disease. It matters not, they all have their ineeption in the seme neglected disorders. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes the ap- petite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure, the nerves steady and gives sound and refreshing sleep. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of con- sumption. In fact bronchial, throat and lung affections generally yield to it. Med- icine stores sell it.

ciow Bees E:rnbalm.

Bees, says Horbis, can embalm as successfuliy as could the ancient Egyp- tians. It often happens in damp weather that a slug or svail will enter a_bee- hive. This is, of course, to the unpro- tected slug a case of sudden death. The bees fall upon him and sting him to death at once. But what to do with the carcass becomes a vital question. If left where it is, it will breed a regular pestilence. Now comes in the clever- ness of the insects. They set to work and cover it with wax, and there you may see it lying embalmed just as the nations of old embalmed their dead.

When it is‘a snail that is the intruder, -

ne is, of course, impenetrable to their sting, so they calmly semen? his shell with wax to the bottora of the hive— imprisonment for life, with no hope of pardon.

CHINESE CAP BUTTONS.

Badges That Indicate the Rank of the Aristocratic Wearer,

Every one has heard of the Chinese bnt- tons and how they indicate rank. <A great many people, however, have no idea what the official buttonis. All Chinamen have buttons about as big asa hickory nut on _the tops of their skullcaps, and in case of the common people tese buttons are made mut of blue or red silk thread, and when a man goes into mourning they are of white silk.

The average common hat is of the finest black satin, and the shapes of these caps ehange from year to year. Tho Chinese areas particular about the cut of their clothes as we are. They have their favor- ite fashionable colors, and there are just as many dudes and dandigg in Peking and Canton as there are in Sondon.

The official button is about three times us large as the ordinary silk button, Its

color and material indicate the rank of the wearer, It stands straight up on the crown of the cep, and it sometimes fastens on the

peacock feather. The highe3’t button is of a dark red coral. Members of the second class of nobility wear a coral ball of light blue and the fourth of dark blue. A noble or official of the fifth class wears a ball of crystal, and a mandarin of the sixth clags has a little round ball made of mother of pearl on the top of his cap. Below these come the mandarins of the seventh and eighth classes, who wear big marbles of gold, an@members of the ninth class, who bave their hats decorated with silver balls, These official hats, or caps, fit closely to the head and have brims which are turned up all around and extend as high as the fop of the cap. These cans are of black beaver, and they are usually covered with a red silk tassel, which begins at the bot- tom and runs out to the edges of the top. The laws provide as to the kind of hat an official must wear and his dre&s is regulat- ei by the statutes. The sleeves of all offi- cials must be very long and come down over the hands,and whenever the nobles and officials call on the emperor they must not have their sleeves rolled up. The idea is that no man can fight well with his arms enveloped in bags, and a would be assassin, when he is compelled to come inon his knees and have his sleeves extending for a foot beyond his hands, would require some thipe to prepare for action. : he laws provide that certain colors shall not be worn by common -peoples Only the highest nobles and the emperor can wear dresses embroidered with the five clawed dragon. A great many of the offi- cials have their gowns embroidered with dragons, and one can tell the rank ofa man by thé number of gold dragons on his gown, but these dragons must be four clawed, and not fite.—Spare Moments,

Launching Methods.

The problem that the shipbuilder has to solve in lannchingis the transfer of a huge, unwieldy, heavy mass from terra firma to the water, Small vessels are sim- ply dragged down by whut isealled Scotch science, defined by Americans to be ‘main force and stupidity,’’ over the pebbles of the beach or oyer wooden rollers, and such was probably the practice of the ancients, but even they had to have recourse to me- chanical means when theif ships atcained a certain size, They probably used scme sort of windlass, actuating a great many hauling ropes—at least that is the sort of machine Archimedes is reported to have designed for the purpose.

Nowadays, in vessels of any size advan- tage is taken of the energy of position of the ship on the stocks, as measured by the difference of the height of the center of gravity of the vessel on land and afloat. A ship is supported on wooden keel blocks ata certain distance above the ground. In the slow process of construction piece by piece of metal and wood is raised up and built into the vessel, and the result of the sum of all these lifts is that the gen- eral center of gravity of the whole struc- ture is many feet above the ground, consti- tuting a force, available for launching, just as a loose bowlder is ready to be push- ed down a hill. Ina certain sense, there- fore, we may say that the operation of launching begins with the first step in the construction of the ship.— Robert Caird in Cassier’s Magazine.

When they put a man in jail he cannot fullow his natural inclinations. He cannot eat what he wants to—he is limited toa very frugal diet. Is it not equally true of a dyspeptic ? For all of the real enjoyment he gets out of life he might as well be in jail. Hecannot eat what he likes, por erough. He suffers much, gets little sympathy. At first, perhaps a little heavine is in the stomach, a little soreness, windy belchings and heartburn; headaches end biousness anda foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipa- tion is almost inevitable, and means that the body is holding poisonous, impure matter that should be gotten rid of. The poiron is being reabsorbed into the blood and the whole body. Impurity in the blood may lead to almost any disease. Consti pation is the start of itall. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation, cure it so it stayscured. No other remedy inthe world will do that.

Origin of a Nasuec-

The origin of the name Fife is not known. One historian tries to show that it comes from the Celtic word veach, a Pict, and means that the dis- trict was inhabited by Picts, but that is obviously absurd, as Fife was not spe- cially the home of any of the Pictish nations. The tradition that finds great- est favor is related by a monk, wko states that the first known possessor of the district which has since grown into the kingdom of Fife was one Fifus Daffus, a famous chieftain whose date is lost in the mists of antiquity.

The Queen’s Messengers.

The four queen’s messengers always travel incognito.

an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed. When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so shor: a time from a country like that under the

most untavorable conditions was held to be incredible.

But

when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (fir modern j ,urnalism does this, annihilating time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and now people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the
