QUEEN VICTORIA’S REAL ESTATE.
She Owns 600 Houses in Various Parts of
England.
The announcement that Queen Vic-
toria is to leave, by will, Osborne House
to one daughter, the lease of Abergeldie
‘House to another, .and Balmoral, the
royal residence in the Highlands, to the
Duke of Connaught, recalls the fact
that the man who would devour this
particular widow’s lhouses must make
an uncommonly full meal.
It was discovered a few years since
that the Queen owned 600 houses in var-
ious parts of England, not royal resi-
dences, but rentyielding property, and
that about six thousand houses had been
built by crown lessees on building lease-
holds held of the queen.
She then had also rents from markets
and tolls from ferries, beside the pro«
coeds of mines and other works upon
- her property or the crown property.
She had large estates in Yorkshire, Ox-
fordshire and Berks, valuable lands in
the Isle of Man and in Alderney, Scot-
land, Ireland and Wales. Of the New
Forest there are two thousand acres of
absolute and 63 acres of contingent
crown property. Her Majesty enjoys-
income from the forest of Dean, from
several ,other forests and from rich
properties in London. . .
Osborne, on the Isle of Wight, and
Balmoral, in the Highlands are the pri-
vate property of the Queen. and are
maintained out of her own income. But
she has the use of a few royal palaces
beside, and these are maintained by the
nation at an annual expenditure rang-
ing from $2,500 to $50,000. The Queen
is in the occupancy of Buckingham Pal-
ace, Windsor Castle, the White Lodge
at Richmond Park and part of St.
Jalnes’s Palace. The remainder of the
last named palace is occupied by other
members of the royal family—Boston

A QUESTION OF LOVERS.
They Are Not as They were and Use too
Many Daggers.
In one of the old time burlesques a
terrible lover appears upon the stage.
He isall bespangled with daggers and
pistols. Coming into the presence of
the beautiful object of his affection, he
advances toward her with measured
strides, 'folded arms and a frowning
countenance. Then he suddenly comes
to a halt, and in a voice of thunder he
roars out:
“I love you!
throat!”
The audience used to laugh heartily,
because in the innocence of the good old
days nobody ever imagined that a time
would come when any lover would be
like that fellow. But, alas! we have
plenty of them to-day. The newspapers
are full of them. It is getting to be a
rather common thing for a young gen-
tleman to ask a young lady to be good
enough to commit suicide with him.
And as for shooting a girl in the street
or parlor, that is becoming almost an
every day occurrence.
What can be the matter? In old times
lovers used to visit their ladies armed
with bouquets and bonbons. Now when
they go to see them they carry razors
and revolvers. This is certainly a re-
form movement that can hardly be com-
mended. But what do the girls think of
it?
‘They are deeply interested in the
thing, naturally enough, and some of
themrmigbt be able to give us light up
on the subject. If the paraphrase could
be pardoned, one might ask: “Is it true
Just let me out your
that whom the ladies love they first
make mad?”—-N. Y. Sun.

SAVEDxBY HIS DOG.
It Kept the Big Buffalo Bull from Killing
Henry Hohl t.
The‘next time that He nry Hohlt goes
out toilinterview his herd of buffaloes at
Lincoln Park he will probably gaze at
it through the cracks of the fence and
not run the risk of having his epider
mis perforated by a pair of bovine horns.
The other afternoon he donned a suit ol
cowboy clothes cut by a pattern ap-
proved by Texas Jack Crawford when
he was here. ‘ q ‘
Then be mounted a fiery mustang and
entered the enclosure where his but
faloes are kept to drive. them into a
corral. They objected vigorously, bu:
Henry was not to be bluffed. One old
bull was particularly pugnacious, and
insisted upon making life a burden for
the mustang. Several vigorous lunge<
at the mustang were avoided by the
sensible animal with dispatch. .
A bull dog belonging to Mr. Hohlt
had been viewing the trouble from afar.
Finally he seemed to have decided to
take a hand, so, with a run only par
alleled by that celebrated spurt made
by Salisbury last fall at the same park,
"he caught the bull by the nose and per
formed a few revolutions around his
head as the 01d fellow gave it a twirl or
two for luck.
Having shaken the dog loose. the ani-
mal made a wild dive for him. He
missed his prey, and then started for
the horse. The latter stumbled and
fell, precipitating his rider to the ground
and rendering him unconscious. The
hull then attacked the horse and killed
him.
The dog appeared to realize the posi-
tion occupied by its unconscious mas
ter. He attacked the bull in front and
rear so persistently that the animal
turned his attention from the horse to
the dog. A wild chase followed, in
which the dog gave one of the prettiest
exhibitions of racing ever witnessed.
While the hull was engaged in follow-
ing his little tormentor some assistants
of Mr. Hohlt saw his predicament and
hastened to his rescue. He was still un—
conscious, and they were compelled to
pick him up and carry him to the park
house. After restoratives had been ap-
plied he was brought to the city. He
is at his home on South Eleventh street
under the care of a physician. Fortu-
nately, no bones were broken, but he
has some large and painful bruises
”upon his person which will keep him in
bed for several days. He was so sore
last night that he was unable to lift
cup of coffee to his lips. ‘.
Mr. Hohlt attributes his escape to the
fidelity of his dog, which made it so in-‘
teresting for the buffalo that he was
unable to dispatch the master when he
had him down.--Nebraska State Jour-
nal. _‘_______
The Cop Didn’t Furnish the Item.
A gay young couple came whizzing
down the Boulevard on a glaring yel-
low tandem. They were scorching.
“Hey, there!” called the bicycle cop,
who stood in the shadow by his black
wheel, “slow up there, now.”
Faster went the pedals on the tan-
dem, and as the streak of yellow faded
from view than was wafted back on
the evening breezes in a girl’s voice
these words: ‘
“Just tell them that you saw us. Ha!
Ha I”
“And that I raised you twice,” mur-
mured the bluecoat, smiling grimly as
he pulled his cap down over his eyes
and settled himself for a spin. At Six-
ty- seventh street he was getting dau-
gerously near the scorchers. They no-
ticed it, and suddenly veered into Six-
ty-seventh street. Nearer and nearer
came the flying cop, and just as he was
in grabbing distance the scorchers
dodged into the Park, out of the cop’s
precinct. He then abandoned the
chase.
“That’s one that won’t get into the
papers,” puffed the man on the tandem,
as he helped his companion to dis-
mount.
“N o,” replied the latter defiantly.
“You never hear about the times they
get left.”

All France is talking of Mlle. Jeanne

gree of Bachelor of Arts two years ago
when she was 16. She then became a
professor of philosophy in a woman’s
college at Lyons, and this years was a
candidate at the Sorbonne for the de-
gree of licentiate in philosopy. The ex-
aminers, 'though not prepared for a
prodigy were amazed at the extent of
her erudition and her serene composure
in dealing with the vexed problems of

Survival of the Barter System in Remote
Mormon Communities. Sawmill Hands
Paid in Orders for Lumber.
Patterns us a. Circulating Medium. ’
The peculiar industrial system of
Utah is unique, especially for the prim-
itive system of exchange of commodi-
ties practiced in many of its communi-
ties. The barter system survives to a
greater extent, perhaps, than in any
other part of the world into which civi-
lization has made its way. There are
whole counties in the newest States of
the Union- where: trade is conducted
practically without the aid of cash. To
many families money is almost a. curi-
osity and the posseSsion of a dollar a
very infrequent experience. This con-
dition does not exist in remote localities
alone. In towns of good size workmen
have built homes and reared families,
who have only on rare occasions been
paid for their labor in anything but a
portion of its product. The New York
Suh says the barter system was a neces-
sity in Utah in its early days. The iso-
lation which the Mormons sought in
their migrations to the Salt Lake Valley
made them almost wholly dependent on
themselves. For years their trade with
other people was insignificant. Their
distance from the communities of the
Mississippi Valley 'was such as toprac-
tically forbid commercial relations, es-
pecially as most of the Saints were
without means with which to purchase
goods, even had there been facilities for
transporting them. The leaders taught
the people that they must rely entirely
upon their own resources and secure
the necessaries of life through co-oper-
ation. There was little if any money in
the colony, and so when a man wanted
a particular article he secured it by ex-
changing for it some other product. It
was long before even in Salt Lake busi-
ness was put upon a cash basis. Twenty
years ago workmen received “store
pay” for their labor, and an enterpris-
ing Gentile who located in Zion about
that time and advertised for half a
dozen laborers, whom he offered to pay
cash, found his house surrounded one
morning by scores of applicants, who
were as curious to see a man who would
make such an offer as they were anxious
to enjoy the novel experience of being
paid in real money inste id of scrip, then
commonly. in use.
The growth of labor unions in the
cities and mining camps of the State
has served to create a sentiment against
the truck system. This sentiment led
to the introduction, at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, of a bill requir-
ing employers of labor in mines and
mills to pay their workmen in lawful
money. The bill was framed for the
purpose of abolishing the practice of
requiring- miners and hands in ore re-
duction works to either buy goods at
company stores or to board at company
boarding houses. But the promoters of
the measure speedily found that they
were antagonizing various interests
which they had not taken into consid-
eration. Members from rural districts
were quick to announce their hostility
to the bill and to declare that it men-
aced the industries of their communi-
ties. In the contest which followed and
resulted in the defeat of the measure a
condition of industrial affairs was re.
vealed, especially in southern Utah,
that surprised even residents of the
State. “
Holst by His Own Petard.
“Will you please examine that dia-

mond,” said a man who had stepped-
into a downtown jewelry store yester-
day, “and tell me what you think of it?
Ifglt is a good stone I think I will buy
- it.”
The jeweler took the gem, which was
unset, and looked at it critically for a
moment. Then, in confidential tones,
he said:
“Well, to tell you the truth, that isn’t
a very good stone. It hasn’t much fire;
it is badly cut, and there is something
here that looks very much like a flaw.”
Then he held the diamond under a
microscope and examined it carefully,
finally observing:
“No, it isn’t exactly a flaw, but I
shouldn’t call it a perfect stone. Now,
if you want something really fine, I have
here—"
“Excuse me,” the other interrupted.
“I guess I will not buy a diamond to-
day. . This is a stone that one of your
clerks let me take Saturday on approval.
I deposited $50 on it. Please let me
have my money, and we will call the
deal off.”
The money was handed over without
any comment, but there was a grieved
expression upon the jeweler’s counten-
ance that told the story of a lesson well
learned—Cleveland Leader.
