DINING WITH VICTORIA. Etiquette of Acceptance, of Conduct Upon Arrival, of Reception by Her Majesty, and of the Table. Those persons who have the honor to dine with Queen Victoria receive a note which reads something like this: "The Lord Steward is commanded by her Majesty to invite Mr. Carter H. Harrison to dine at Windsor Castle on Saturday, the twenty-seventh of November, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, at 9 o'clock P. M., and to remain the night." Inclosed with the invitation, which is written with a pen in old-fashioned script upon a large card, is a smaller card, which reads: "Paddington Station, 5:10 P. M. Please hand this to the guard." It is customary and necessary to respond at once to an invitation from the Queen, and all other engagements are cancelled. Nothing but serious illness is considered a sufficient reason for declining to obey her commands, and they are not issued to sick persons. Before the lord steward sends out one of these invitations he takes care to ascertain whether the person to whom it is addressed is in England and able to accept. The proper form of acceptance is: "Mr. Carter H. Harrison accepts with great pleasure the invitation of her Majesty to dine at Windsor Castle at nine o'clock on the evening of November twenty-seventh." Upon arriving at Paddington station at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the dinner the guest presents his card to the station master or one of his guards, and is escorted to a special car bearing the royal coat of arms and furnished with unusual luxuriance. Sometimes when there are a number of guests there is a special train. Gentlemen are accompanied by valets and ladies by maids, and the servants have their own apartments in the car. The ride to Windsor on the quickest trains occupies 40 minutes, and usually an hour. The distance is twenty-four miles. Upon arriving there the guests find two or three footmen and other servants. One footman is told off for each guest, takes charge of his luggage escorts him to his carriage and looks after him, or her, if it is a lady, until he or she is safely aboard the train for London the next morning. The entire party travels dead-head, and the expense is charged to the minister of the household. The lord steward receives the guests as they reach the castle and directs them to their apartments, which include a sitting room, a bedroom, a feeble health. She cannot sit through a long dinner, and quietly slips out before the guests have half finished. Nor does she take the food that is served to them. A few plain and simple dishes are provided for her repast—soup, fish, roast beef or mutton, with a salad and sweets. She drinks no wine, but takes a little Scotch whiskey in Apollinaris water. At the main table a long French dinner is served of ten or twelve courses. There is a waiter for every two persons, and he moves with military precision. His livery is a scarlet dress coat with brass buttons, trimmed with gold lace, blue velvet short trousers with gold braid along the seams, white silk stockings and patent leather shoes with gold buckles. The guests are in court dress and the gowns of the ladies must be cut in a certain way. American gentlemen and other commoners must wear black swallow-tail coats, white silk low-cut vests, knee breeches, black silk stockings and patent leather pumps. The table service is gold plate purchased by George IV, at a cost of several millions of dollars. It is large enough to dine 120 persons, but more than forty are seldom invited. It is said that the gold and silver plate in Windsor Castle is worth at least $10,000,000. Great chests of it are never used. This belongs to the Government. The furnishings at Balmoral and Osborne Houses belong to the Queen's private estate. Among the decorations that TRADE CONDITION R. G.

Locally as far as we may The lord steward receives the guests as they reach the castle and directs them to their apartments, which include a sitting room, a bedroom, a dressing room and a bath. When the guest is a lady there is always a maid in attendance. It is not considered proper to leave the rooms until called for, and the guest amuse themselves the best they can. Her Majesty is the soul of punctuality. She keeps her appointments on the dot and expects her subjects to do the same. If a guest is ever late he or she is sentenced to perpetual banishment from the royal presence. No matter what his rank or influence, he never receives another invitation to the castle, and therefore the attendants are in the habit of admonishing guests as to the necessity of being dressed in time. They have fully two hours and a half after their arrival and have no excuse for tardiness. Precisely at a quarter before a lady in waiting calls at the apartment of each lady guest, and a gentleman in waiting at those of a gentleman guest, to escort them to the reception room and present them to each other. Each gentleman is informed by his escort whom he is to have the pleasure of taking to the table, and is properly introduced. He is also shown on a diagram the seat he is to occupy at the table. After these preliminaries are over the portieres that hide from view the second reception room are thrown back to disclose the lord steward, in full court dress, with his gorgeous staff of officers, standing beside a stout, red-faced little woman who sits on the edge of a great gilt chair. By her side are usually two or three princesses and maids of honor, and often one or more of her sons or sons-in-law. The guests then form a procession in the order of their rank and pass before her Majesty, who offers her hand to them and murmurs a few pleasant words. Loyal subjects always kiss the seams on the back of her white glove, but she does not like to have Americans do so, because she knows that this ancient custom is not in vogue in our country. Therefore, when she withholds her hand from an American guest it is an act of courtesy rather than a slight. Americans are usually informed in advance by their attendants of this peculiarity, and are prepared for it. There is no time for conversation. Only a few words are exchanged. Her Majesty usually asks Americans about the health of the President and his wife and expresses her interest in their welfare. If there has been a notable incident or event in the United States she may allude to it, for she keeps well informed concerning current events. Sometimes she invites a guest to take a seat beside her, which is a mark of unusual distinction that was conferred upon Mrs. Grant when she and the General were visiting Windsor years ago, and upon Mrs. John Hay during the jubilee ceremonies last spring. When those in the party have all passed in review they proceed in the same order to the dining-room and each stands behind his chair until the Queen enters on the arm of one of her sons or sons-in-law, or in their abode their own apartments in the ear.

The furnishings at Balmoral and Osborne Houses belong to the Queen's private estate. Among the decorations that invariably appear upon the table at state dinners are two immense flags of gold set with precious stones that were captured from the Spanish arma at the time of Queen Elizabeth, and a famous wine cooler that was presented to George IV, and is said to have cost $35,000, often occupies the center of the table. A peacock made of gold and precious stones is a favorite of the Queen. It was made in India and presented to her on the occasion of her fifteenth anniversary. Another of her favorite ornaments is a tiger's head of gold with immense rubies for eyes and diamonds for teeth. It also came from India and was a jubilee gift. If her Majesty is feeling well the guests will find her in the drawing room when they retire from the table, and there is usually a programme of music for their entertainment, which she thoroughly enjoys. Sometimes she asks a guest to sit by her side, and I know a pretty American girl whose hand she held in her own in an affectionate way for half an hour one evening, and whom she kissed on both cheeks as she retired at the close of the evening. "I hope to see you again, my dear," said the Queen of England and the Empress of India. "I shall send for you to spend a day with me very soon, and I want you all to myself," and sure enough she did, and the Yankee damselfel was not only with the Queen all day, but drove with her in her park and slept that night in a room adjoining the imperial bedchamber. When the Queen retires the party breaks up. The ladies may sit up and gossip, but the gentlemen hurry off to the smoking room and are allowed to play billiards and drink her Majesty's brandy and soda if they are so inclined.[Chicago Record] The progressive ladies of Westfield, Ind., issued a "Woman's Edition" ofthe Westfield News, bearing date of April 3, 1896.

R. G. Dun & Co's. Monthly Review of Business in Southern California. A remarkably large holiday trade closed the year of '97, a year totaling up the largest volume of business, both speculative and commercial, and the lowest commercial death rate since 1892. The opening of '98 is characterized in the business world by the passing of financial distrust, increased industrial activity, especially in the West, and a quiet confidence in the future. Unusual business for the season is noted in the iron and wool industries. Cotton only is halting; price conditions favoring neither producer or manufacturer. Foreign trade continues satisfactory. In our immediate district the outlook for a good year has improved. The delayed rain has come and relieved the anxiety of the farmer and merchant, who began to fear a dry year. The cold snap of December, it has been demonstrated, affected only about 1-10 of the orange crop, and the succeeding warm weather caused most of these to fall. The crop is maturing rapidly and shipping will soon be actively resumed. The demand is fairly good. The destruction of the Florida crop still unshipped, although but a small percentage of the yield, had an effect in stiffening the market. Olive-picking season is about ended. Prices for both olives and olive oil are at present higher than for years and there is a scarcity in the foreign crop the probabilities are for a further advance. A stronger demand for dried fruit is developing. The eastern market seems to be recovering from the depression caused by the liberal offering of inferior stock, and there is more inquiry for choice grades and offerings are held firmly at full figures. An active export demand has developed for apricots and prunes. Nuts are unchanged. Lemons are held well in hand at the recently advanced rates. Hay and grain have been held stifly with no indication of weakening. In looking back over the past year it has in the main been an unusually prosperous one for Southern California and Arizona. Crops have been abundant, and on the whole satisfactory prices have been realized. The development of our native wealth in petroleum and minerals are gratifying and the increase in the number of manufacturing plants was encouraging. The improvement in the wool industry and the cattle industry had a material effect on the bettering of trade conditions, especially in Arizona. Locally as far as we can learn our merchants are amenable to satisfaction with trade conditions. A HISTORIC HOTEL The Favorite Hostelry In Ante-Bellum Days—Often Patronized by Abraham Lincoln—From Its Veranda Stephen A. Douglas Delivered a Great Speech—Again the Scene of an Important Event. From the Tri-County Scribe, Plymouth, Ill. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the historic Cuyler House at Plymouth, Ill., a hostelry where Abraham Lincoln often slept, where "Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the inner man in ante-bellum days, and from the veranda of which Stephen A. Douglas delivered one of his great speeches. This article has not so much to do, however, with this historic hotel, as it has with the landlord's thirteen-year-old laughing, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie. As one sees her to-day, the picture of perfect health, it is hard to believe that nearly nine of the thirteen years of her life were spent on the bed of invalidism, that for months she never walked, and for years suffered the pain, misery and distress of inflammatory rheumatism in its worst form. Able physicians were employed but no permanent benefit resulted. Mrs. Thompson heard of a wonderful cure which had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and was influenced by it to purchase some of the pills for her daughter. Before she had taken half a box, there was marked improvement in her condition; when she had taken two boxes she was completely restored to health. To-day, there is not a healthier child than Ollie Thompson. The case came to the attention of the editor of the Tri-County Scribe, and a reporter was detailed to learn the story of this remarkable cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She said: "Ollie was a hearty, well-developed child from the time she was born until she was three years old. In 1887 she was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism. For nine years she was never entirely free from the disease, and much of the time was in an alarming condition. At times, she could not walk, and her spine was drawn out of shriek so that she could not stand straight. One of the doctors said if she became well she would be a cripple for life. "Dr. Grigran, of Augusta, was the first doctor who had her case. He doctored her through two serious times of the disease, and finally told us he could not cure her. We doctored her most all the time, but when she was ten years old she had an unusually severe attack, and we called in Dr. Kreider, of Prairie City, where we were then living. He tried hard to cure her but finally gave it up. He said, 'I can do nothing further, the case is the worst I have witnessed.'" "We nearly gave up hope then, but called Dr. McDaniel who doctored her after we came to Plymouth, but no benefit was derived." "Then I heard how Uncle Wesley Walton had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Knowing the condition he had been in, I thought if the pills cured him they might help Ollie. Consequently I bought a box for her, and before she had finished it she was much better. She continued taking them, and when the second box had been used she was well, and has never had rheumatism since." "I cannot say too much for the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for I believe Ollie would have been dead long ago, if she had not taken them." Subscribed and sworn to before me this 11th day of September, 1897. W. S. ROMICK, Notary Public. I hereby state that I have examined Miss Ollie Thompson, and find no outward appearance of rheumatism.

All dealers sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, or they will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk, or by the 100).

A Manager of a Pyrotechnic Show Who Didn't Want to Disappoint His Audience—A Monument Which Proves That His Efforts Were Appreciated. "I always strive to please," remarked the dramatic editor, as he scratched the words "big thing" out of the advance notice he was writing and substituted "necgatherian aggregation." "Thanks, I am sure," said the advance agent, as he read over the ten headaches. For most aches of the head the hot water bag is a good friend, but when the face has the flush and the eyes show a peculiar look which tell of a congestive headache then heat in that neighborhood is unsupportable. Instead of this apply cold. If you have no ice bag, fill your hot water bag pretty full of ice water, put in pieces of ice as large as will pass the mouth and lay this at the back of the patient's neck. Applied to the armpits and wrists, ice often affords great relief to the sufferer. When Mr. Labouchere, the English journalist, was in St Petersburg at one time, he saw the Dutch minister at a reception dive his hand deep into a headache. It was evident that pretty well satisfied what he didn't care with "Five daughters," that's a pretty good woman who wouldn't be conscientious to buy more than one item. "It don't see how gested the man who kept to marry the girl young Americans who their mother insisted something more fashionable myself and see that way she wants them something of a problem when I got it figured and began playing easy that I was inclined of myself for not too harder." The self satisfied enough for the listener he would be glad to hear in view of the fact all married and public harm he told it. "I took all my avail explained." and made for my eldest daughter was a rush for her, and take her pick of five as much as possible; gave up the dowry I had then steered her title to Stock Exchange; some bad tips; took through a broker and part of his dowry; then I gave the down daughter; got her maid worked the scheme family; until I finely youngest to a baronet them to postpone their a few days; so as to give win back the dowry spent any of it; and by row I expect to be on without a care in that must have titles; why giving them to them; in contributing larger support of the tottering old world; and don't intend to do it." THE ADVANCE AGENT TELLS HOW HIS FRIENDS OBSERVED THIS RULE. A Manager of a Pyrotechnic Show Who Didn't Want to Disappoint His Audience—A Monument Which Proves That His Efforts Were Appreciated. "I always strive to please," remarked the dramatic editor, as he scratched the words "big thing" out of the advance notice he was writing and substituted "megatherian aggregation." "Thanks, I am sure," said the advance agent, as he read over the ten lines the dramatic critic was giving to him, and carefully put back into his pocket the half column notice he had first drawn on the d. c. "I presume," smiled the d. c., "that you always strive to please, too, don't run." "Not always"—in a semidisappointed zone—but I used to have a friend who did. He really was the most self-denying chap I ever saw, and what he wouldn't do to please an audience wasn't worth doing." "Where is he now?" "Dead." "Dead?" "Yes, it killed him. It was this way: He was in the pyrotechnic branch of the dramatic art and used to give shows at one of those imitation Coney Islands to be found on nearly every sand bar in nearly river tributary to the Mississippi. He had been the originator of the fireworks feature at this place, and his phenomenal success had made him so proud that he would sooner have died than had a failure. One Fourth of July he was going to give the grandest display of his life, and the feature in the biggest letters on the bill was a set piece, 100 feet high, with an enormous balloon loaded with fireworks to go up from the top as a grand finale. There were ten times as many people there that night as there had ever been, and my friend was feeling so good you could see it in his walk. "Everybody was on edge, too, for the grand blaze of glory the management had been advertising for weeks, and when, promptly at the hour of 10'30'clock, my friend stepped forth like a peacock to set off the great display with his own hand there was a round of applause, followed by a dead silence as the audience sat breathless watching for the burst of blazing glory. But somehow it didn't burst. The professor fired the train and retreated to a safe place, but the powder wouldn't burn. It fizzled and went out instead. Once, twice, thrice, it fizzled, sputtered and went out, and then the crowd began to grow! and guy, as crowds always will, and the professor began to get wild. Several other attempts to set the piece off were no more successful, and at last, with a smothered scream of crazy rage, he shot up the ladder of the tower to its very top, where he had a platform stored with all sorts of inflammable and explosive things arranged to go off at the proper time. He stood there a moment silhouetted against the sky, the crowd indulging in gibes and jeers, with now and then a threat as to what he might expect if he would only come down to the ground. This was his time to show what he could do to please his audience, and in a minute, and before anybody had any idea what he would do next, he caught up an armful of water bag is a good friend, but when the face has the flush and the eyes show a peculiar look which tell of a congestive headache then heat in that neighborhood is unsupportable.

Comparative. THE ADVANCE AGENT TELLS HOW HIS FRIENDS OBSERVED THIS RULE. A Manager of a Pyrotechnic Show Who Didn't Want To Disappoint His Audience—A Monument Which Proves That His Efforts Were Appreciated. "I always strive to please," remarked the dramatic editor，as he scratched the words "big thing" out of the advance notice he was writing and substituted "megatherian aggregation." "Thanks，I am sure," said the advance agent，as he read over the ten lines the dramatic critic was giving to him，and carefully put back into his pocketthe half column notice he had first drawn on the d.c. "I presume," smiled the d.c., "that you always strive to please，too，不rout." "Not always"—in a semidisappointed zone—but I used to have a friend who did.He really was the most self denying chap I ever saw，and what he wouldn't do to please an audience wasn't worth doing." "Where is he now?" "Dead." "Dead?" "Yes，它 killed him。It was this way：He was in the pyrotechnic branch of the dramatic art and used to give shows at one of those imitation Coney Islands to be found on nearly every sand bar in nearly river tributary to the Mississippi。He had been the originator of the fireworks feature at this place，and his phenomenal success had made him so proud that he would sooner have died than had a failure。一Fourth of July he was going to give the grandest display of his life，and the feature in the biggest letters on the bill was a set piece，100 feet high，with an enormous balloon loaded with fireworks to go up from the top as a grand finale。There were ten times as many people there that night as there had ever been，and my friend was feeling so good you could see it in his walk.

Palmer was originally sent up for 11 years from south Georgia for burglary. Shortly afterward, while working in the mines of Dade county, he attempted, with other convicts, to escape, and in the melee that followed he killed two of the guards. He was tried some time ago for the killing of the first guard and got 99 years. He was then put on trial for the killing of the other man and got 99 years more.—Exchange. Comparative.

Schloth has received from a friend in Savannah, Ill., a long and small spearhead, a small knife, an awl and a needle taken from one of the prehistoric mounds near that city. The tools are all of tempered copper, and when suspended by a thread ring like steel. They have been hammered out and tempered, and after having been buried in a mound for no one knows how long still retain their temper. The mound builders, who had disappeared from the face of the earth before Columbus discovered this country, knew how to temper copper, an art which no man on earth has now, although many have endeavored for years to discover the process. Such specimens are found in but few of the mounds opened, the implems found being generally of stone. Mr. Schloth has a fine collection of reliess of mound builders and of the aborigines of this coast and values these tempered copper articles above them all.—Portland Oregonian. For Sale.

Several other attempts to set the piece off were no more successful, and at last, with a smothered scream of crazy rage, he shot up the ladder of the tower to its very top, where he had a platform stored with all sorts of inflammable and explosive things arranged to go off at the proper time. He stood there a moment silhouetted against the sky, the crowd indulging in gibes and jeers, with now and then a threat as to what he might expect if he would only come down to the ground. This was his time to show what he could do to please his audience, and in a minute, and before anybody had any idea what he would do next, he caught up an armful of the explosives about him, fastened them to his clothes and hung wreaths and rings over his neck and shoulders, and, setting the whole thing afire, he swung out into the air in the balloon, which was already tugging at its anchor. "As the balloon shot up it was a terrific sight, and the poor devil's shrieks added to the intensity of the scene, already lurid with red and blue lights, while the air was filled with all manner of bursting bombs and crashing explosives. Women fainted, men ran helplessly about shouting, and still the balloon swept upward with its fiery freight and passenger, until when it had reached a point 1,000 feet above the earth, it caught fire and the whole burning mass shot like a blazing ball straight to the ground. "You will be safe in betting those people never saw such an exhibition as that before, nor will ever again in all probability, and when it was over," concluded the agent, "the audience seemed to realize what the professor had done to please them, and they chipped in and built him a monument where he fell, having it besides his name and the proper dates, no other inscription except 'He strived to please.'" The dramatic critic was at least half a minute in recovering his speech after the recital of this remarkable tale, and before he could ask any questions the advance agent had folded his tent like a circus and stolen away to the office of the next dramatic critic he had to call upon.—Washington Star.

But His Five Girls Married Titles, All the Same. It was evident that he was not only pretty well satisfied with himself, but that he didn't care who knew it. "Five daughters," he said, "and every one of them married to a title. That's a pretty good record for a man who wouldn't be considered rich enough to buy more than one high grade title." "I don't see how you did it," suggested the man who knew nothing except that the husband with a title was ordinarily quoted at a pretty stiff figure. "Oh, it's easy when you know how," replied the self satisfied man. "So far as I am concerned I would have preferred to marry the girls to enterprising young Americans with no titles, but their mother insisted upon getting them something more fashionable, and when their mother insists I have to hump myself and see that things come the way she wants them. I confess it was something of a problem at first, but when I got it figured out in my mind and began playing the cards it was so easy that I was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying something harder." The self satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story, and then, in view of the fact that they were all married and publicity could do no harm, he told it. "I took all my available assets," he explained, "and made them a dowry for my eldest daughter. Naturally there was a rush for her, and she was able to take her pick of five. I rushed matters as much as possible, got her married, gave up the dowry I had promised, and then steered her titled husband against the Stock Exchange, where I gave him some bad tips, took his trades myself through a broker and won back all the dowry and part of his ancestral estates. Then I gave the dowry to my second daughter, got her married and played the same game with her husband. I worked the scheme right through the family, until I finally married my youngest to a baronet yesterday. I got them to postpone their wedding trip for a few days, so as to give me a chance to win back the dowry before they had spent any of it, and by day after tomorrow I expect to be on Easy street again, without a care in the world. If girls must have titles, why, I am in favor of giving them to them, but I don't believe in contributing large fortunes to the support of the tottering monarchies of the old world, and, what's more, I don't intend to do it."—Chicago Post.
