For Sentiment‘s Sake. Practically all the gold and silver treasures in possession of the late King, and which his Majesty bequeathâ€" ed to Queen Alexandra, are stored away in a vast, steelâ€"lined room on the ground floor of Marlborough> House. The Court jewellers and goldsmiths, some years back, roughly fixed the value of the treasures at $10,000,000. Guests of Queen Alexandra, visiting Marlborough House for the first time, are always shown this famous Royal treasureâ€"room. It is difficult to convey in words any idea of the wealth of treasure revealed by a sight of the treasureâ€"vault. The walls are lined with immense glass, ebonyâ€"bound cases, crammed with gold and silver treasuresâ€"huge Pilgrim bottles, immense gold and silver drinkâ€" Ingâ€"cups, shields of Oriental design, ornaments of every sort. * In one case there are twentyâ€"four sllvep teaâ€"services, twenty dinnerâ€"serâ€" vices, over a thousand massive solid silver candlesticks. And this is one of the smallest cases. A large case in the centre of the vault is filled with the various racing trophies won by the late King, and underneath the case at each side of it is a deep drawer, and this drawer is filled with all manner of gold ornaments, boxes, etc., that were given to the King by his various friends at home and abroad. In one drawer there is a solid gold box the sides of which are about a quarter of an inch thick. It is about a foot square and six inches in depth. On the outside of the cover are the letters "ER.," surmounted by a crown set in the rarest jJewels. On the inside of the cover are carved the words: "From his Majesty‘s devoted and loyal subject, Alfred de Rothschild." This is but one of hundreds of such gifts that these drawers contain. In one case is a small glass, silverâ€"mounted saltâ€" eastor. Intrinsically its value is probâ€" ably not more than about $5, but it is one of the objects among this wealth of treasure that Queen Alexandra parâ€" ticularly values. e His Majesty had it sent up every morning on his breakfastâ€"tray, and even when he went to the house of & friend this mascot was among the arâ€" ticles always taken with the monarch. It appeared on his breakfastâ€"tray when it was sent up to his room on the very morning of the day he died, and the dying King said to the servant: "I am glad you have not forgotten my mascot. I shall never see it again." It was given to King Edward years ago by a very valued friend, and the late King always regarded this castor as a sort of mascot. But the treasureâ€"vault contains but a part of the treasures at Marlborough House. In the Green Drawingâ€"room are two carved _ tapestryâ€"covered chairs, given to their Majesties by the late Sir Richard Wallace, the man who bequeathed the Wallace Gallery to the nation. These chairs are said to be worth ten thousand dollars apiece. Under a glass case in another apartâ€" ment is a fan of beaten gold, orna mented with a most delicate tracery work. It was despatched as a Christâ€" mas present to Queen Alexandra by an lydian prince some years ago. It was sent by a servant of the prince. The first part of the servant’nygmoy lay through a jungle, and here he was atâ€" tacked and killed by a tiger. The case containing the fan was afterwards found and sent back to the prince, three years after it had been first sent. Once more it was despatched, and this time reached Marlborough House in safety. â€" One of the rooms at Marlâ€" borough House is furnished with all the furviture, ornaments, and pictures that were in King Edward‘s writingâ€" room at Buckingham Palace. A Screen Worth a Fortune. â€" Two objects of art in the room specially prized by Queen Alexandra are two genuine Tanagree statuettes, purchased in Paris for her by the late King during one of their early trips after they were married.

But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small Jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will reâ€" main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Make this beauty_lotion for a few cents and see for yourself.

Wonderful Way in Which They Genâ€" erate Heat in Winter. It was found by experiment that only the shell of the cluster made y the bees in cold weather is compact. This is formed by one of several layâ€" This arrangement is perfect> for conservation of the heat within. Exâ€" cept for an occasional shift of posiâ€" tions the bees forming the shell are quiet. _ But within the shell strange things are going on.. ers of bees all solidly arranged with their heads inward, their hairs interâ€" lacing. + §Gavin It is here that the heat is generated. And the antics are not alike our own when we are cold. is The bees are packed loosely within the shell so that there is plenty of space for many bees to be exercising at a time. Rapid fanning of the wings, shaking the body from side to side, rapid breathing and, other movements are all parts of the scheme for raising the temperature. In one particular instance, when a bee had been rapidly fanning with his wings for seven and a half minutes, the thermometer nearest him rose half a degree Fahrenheit. HOW BEES KEEP WARM. in light!

Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn of hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted off, root and all, without pain.
