Th" n'I'-s h.-ive come from the late Q:""! rrivatc ror.rr.s at Windsor Castle tr.'l r.U'-kir.ham Palace, and each has a ii--iquf 1 "''I-?'" r.ul interest, arising from the f ict that th-y pro things which her Majes ty li vl treasured for many, many years, ati'I which aho 1 radically always kept In hr dsht. Nci u.iire appropriate place than the old r-ilar wh-re she was born could have boon four. J aa the llr.al rcütlr.s place cf these things, an 1 In sending them to Kensington the Kins was doubtlcs:. actuated by the desire to add tili further to Its character as tho ?hrlne cf Victoria. Prominent among the relics Is the late Queen's Jewel case. It Is a really wonder ful structure fcr one can call It nothing ! -s In ebony, standing In iU entirety six feet h!h. The caso itself I3 a square box, having on each lde sepnrato compartments fitted with slopin? velvet trays for the jew els. Hath compartment has a. glass door, through which the entire contents could Le Eccn at a glance. The case revolves upon a beautifully carved ebony pedestal and io surmounted by an artistic de?lq;n. Small firurcj originally stco. In niches around the case, but appear to have been removed. This hand.iome receptacle. In Itself a fine specimen of artlMic workmanship, was f ptcially tjed by 4uc?n Victoria for keep ing hr decorations and order?, and one ran Imagine t h? gorgeous effect, when th? stars and dvit s, set with their prie h v.-i Rm?. radiated through the glass door?, thp brilliance of the rubies, emeralds, sap phires unci diamonds being enhanced by th ebr.ny fram work of the case. In th- same room with tho jewel case nro two lars. ebony cabinets, also of beau tiful workmanhip, and in these the late Qi:er-n kept ether personal jewels and adornments. The entire et were a mar rinp,f j.rrsfnt to fuofn Victoria from the married l.ili-s of Kr.land. 1 1 Kit AUTOGRAPH HOOKS. The floor of one room Is almost covered with volumes having the late Queen's book plate Inside the cover and bearing Interest ing auto-raph inscriptions. A I ir'1 proportion of these books, amounting to several hundreds, had been given by the Queen to her mother, the Duchess of Kent. An autograph collector would be in paradise if let loose among these bonks, f,,r they contain Inscriptions In the late Queen's handwriting from her earliest y ars onward. In round, unformed characters occur such items as "To dear est mamma, from her lovlnjr child Vic toria." ;ind then 1 came upon intermediate Ftases of the youthful princess's caligraphy and at length to the graceful, finished handwriting to which ehe had attained In her seventeenth year, when she inscribed a handsome illustrated quarto of Rhlnelar.d travels "To dearest mamma, from her af fectionate and devoted daughter Victoria." Among these handsome volumes which she had presented to hr mother I noticed an edition de luxe of Moore's "Lalla Kookh." Among the books which had been given to the late Queen was a prayer book, inscribed to hor dauuhtrr by the Duchess of Kent in Jn!7, ar.d which was used by her Majesty t her coronation. It is beautifully bound In red velvet, with monogram in gold and inclosed in a red velvet case. Anot ir interesting little volume Is an Illustrated (Jt-rrnan story book, given by the present Duke of Cambridge to his cousin. On the fly leaf is inscribed, In boy ish round hand: "To my dear cousin Vic toria. (Jeorce. Hanover. lSl'C." It will be remembered that the duke passed some years of his early life at liauover, where his father acted as regent. Looking haphazard among these piles of old books. I came across what must now be. I imagine, a rare work of descriptive notes on Hampton Court Palace. On the outside of the morocco cover Is Inscribed the word "Wolsey." above the hat and crest of the great cardinal who built the famous riverside palace. A side light on the late Queen's interests is also furnished by a bound sermon by the Itev. Baptist Noel on the duty of Christian people toward the female children of India. THC QL'GEN'S COPYP.OOKS. The printed volumes, howover, pale In in terest before a pile of the late Queen's ex ercise and copy books, to which an addi tional interest is given by the fact that they have, after all these years, tome back sain to the room in which their owner actually wrote in thern. The apartment at the palace where these books now are was Queen Victoria's old schoolroom. It is a somber, wainscoted room, the bed room and death chambtr of Queen Anne, and looks down into Queen Anne's court ard, tnu of t tie old parts of the palace. I'pon the Hour is the same carpet which eovtn-d it when tho little Princess Victoria .-at on her high chair laboriously writing the characters in the copybooks which were before n.e. Probably it was the quiet u 'e of the room and the- fact that it had no il.sturbir.g outlook onto the public gardens which Induced tho Duchess uf Kent to se lect it for her daughter's schoolroom. Several oü the exorcise books contain French and German translations, written In a pretty running hand, indicative of a young lady's finishing studios. In this room also are other rtlics of childhood. Two tiny wicker chairs, stated with groups of wool-worktd llowers. which have a sur prisingly fresh appearance, accounted for by the red chintz covers which are on them and which the Queen never allowed to b removed. There, too. are a child's tea table and fome dumb bei is and a couple of hassocks, carefully covered like chairs. Thcae relics of childhood always stood in Queen Vic toria's private, sitting room at Windsor. In vain I looked for th? dolls which were the d lUht and solace of Princess Victoria's childhood. They have. I understand. loen distributt d among tho late Queen's grand Child UM. The room adjoining Queen Victoria's old schoolroom, an 1 where the jewel case and ebony cabinets already referred to arc kept, is historically inter sting. It was Queen Mary's bedroom, and th'-re she died from smallpox. Afterwards King William caused it to bo sealed up. partly out of respect to h;s wile's memory and m re probably for fear of microbes, methods of disinfection !. ir.g little known. It remained sealed for seventy years, during winch time it had come known as the haunted chamber. Then it was opined and brought Into use. It heionps to the part of the palace built by .r Christopher Wren, and has a beau tiful oak cornice carved by Grinding Gib bons. The walls are paneled with oak. but an atrocious wall papr conceals their beauty. Neither this room r.or the ad joining one is shown to the public, which Is to te regretted, as they are among the most interesting in the palace, and would prove an hi-bclc repository fer Queen Victoria's books and other relics when these are arranged tor exhibition.

AMATEUR NEWSPAPERDOM. ItotU Grny-IlAlrral Men and School IJoyn A 111 o n k the Journalists. New York Evening Tost. The National Amateur Tress Association, the name of which is abbreviated by its more Indolent members, in speech as well as in print, to "The Napa," has arranged to hold lt3 twenty-seventh annual convention in this city next July. To the editors of amateur papers, except those affiliated with rival associations, the convention every year is the ali-absorbln? topic of editorial and news columns for three months before hand and two months afterward. Hince an amateur paper circulates almost exclusively among the editors of other amateur papers, outsiders seldom notice that there are such publications at all. Amateur Journalism is, however, an institu tion of long standing in thi3 country. It claims, in fact, to have begun in 1812, when a small tour-page paper, called the "Weekly Portfolio, was issued in Philadelphia by a certain Thomas G. Condie. or Cundie, who seems to be about as mythical a character as Cadmus, for there are now grave doubts that he ever existed. There is no dispute that In 1S20, Na.thar.iel Hawthorne, then sixteen years old, issued his little magazine the Spectator. By 1SJ there were at least fifteen amateur monthlies, and in IStf) the Amateur Press Association was formed in this city at the house of Charles Scribner, whose son, Charles Scribner, Jr., was chosen Its president. The National Amateur Press Association was formed at the Cen tennial celebration at Philadelphia on July 4, laTtj, with a membership cf about seventy live. A reunion of some of the founders was. held a month ago in Philadelphia. There are about 4oo members now. That the same association should con tain at once gray-haired men. who have kept up "the prince of hobbies" from their boyhood days for the sake of old associa tions, and schoolboys starting four-page sheets on hand presses, brings about a more or less anomalous condition of affairs. This diversity of membership in the na tional association ncems to be the real underlying cause of the bitttr defensive fift-ht which it is now waging against the United Amateur Press Association, a younger rival. The word "kids" seems fairly to test the gist of the N. A. P. A.'s arguments, and the word "fossils" that of the U. A P. A. Between elections of of ficers there is plenty of time for the bandy ing of epithets, and the form of the attack is often varieel. Eugene Field's primer form is imitated to furnish ammunition, as follows: What Funny bits of Paper. Did you tear them up to See how Small and how Dirty you could Get them? No, indeed; these are more. Just a Ldttle more, than Mere bits of Dirty Paper. They are a Collec tion of the Representative Pairs issued by the Members of the United Amateur Press Association. As the amateur papers touch very rarely on national or international topics, or, In deed, any matters that are treated by the professional press, a stranger is likely to wonder what the editors find to write about. First of all there are the campaigns for office, which last almost the entire year. Many of the papers print at the head of the editorial page the ticket they support. There is relatively just as much talk ami argument over the candidates' principles and personalities as there is in a national presidential campaign. A few years ago the overshadowing issue was the changing of the size of the National Amateur, the official organ of the association, and the fixing of a standard size for all the papers so that they would make a neat shelf of books when bound. Over this agitation gallons of ink were spilled. "When as serts," wrote one candidate, with fine in dignation, "that the position I held in the fight was based on an Interpretation of the constitution, or when he asserts that I maintained that the issuing of the National Amateur, uniform size, was according to the constitution, he never told a more de liberate untruth in his life." Whether return postage should be en closed letters to the national officers has tieen another burning question. A cer tain faction also tried to make capital of tho fact that the association was once in döbt to the amount of $17.00. Personalities, entirely unintelligible except to the in itiated, are the rule everywhere, and the journalism that Mark Twain wrote of in Tennessee could hardly have been higher In expletive and vituperation than are some of the amateur Journals. Once a year at convention time "Lau rateshlps" are awarded for editorials, poems, and fiction. A good share of the "literary" contributions for the year are headed, "Entered for such and such a Laureateship, N. A. P. A." Some of the papers contain at times little except poetry. Others are tilled from cover to cover with short stories usually much worse than the verse. "Old Pen's Child," a bit of fiction in one of the smaller sheets, begins in this wise: Capt. Walllngford stood on the deck of the Daniel in a meditative mood, his va cant gaze rivited on the sparkling waters of tho bay. His thoughts, however, were drifting in another channel entirely, and by the far-away look in his deep, blue eyes it was evident that his soul was anywhere but on the deck of the schooner. Ever since 1S7S, when, apparently, It first dawned on a United States postmaster gen eral that amateur publications really con stituted a class by themselves, there has been trouble periodically over the obtaining of second-class postage rates by the tradi tional "boy with a printing press." It has generally been the practice to accord the cent-a-pound privilege only to those papers that had an actual paid subscription iist. The older and more ambitious ones had no trouble on this account, but tho new ones sometimes had a hard time, even at 10 cents a year. However, "sisters and cousdns ami aunts" enough are usually to be found to give at least a semblance of a paid sub scription roll. To pay a cent apiece on an edition of three or four hundred copies is an expense that falls heavily on the publishers, though there are a good many rich men's sons among them. At a cent a pound the month's bill for mailing is ridiculously small. The govern ment does not skip little things, however, anil the same huge bill forms, with their imposing headings, are used even though the amount due is only 3 cents or 5 cents, as sometimes happens. Compliance with the requirement that copies be issued at regular intervals is most difficult of all. When neither sub scribers nor advertisers are consedered, to publish only when the spirit moves is an impulse that is only too often yielded to. Some of the magazines which pride them selves on their absolute regularity of ap pearance have made the ride of exchang ing only copy lor copy with their weaker brethren. This saves postage and makes a great impression. Whether to call these more elaborate periodicals amateur or professional is sometimes a delicate question. Often by natural increase of popularity, they be come, in time, self-sustaining magazinelets. In at least one case the editor Is supported entirely by his paper. Such a publication surely is agreeably in contrast with the hundreds cf would-be money-making sheets that fail and suspend publication every year. Filipino Women as AVlvcs. From "Daniel Everton Volunteer Regu lar." "Judging by the Spanish women I have seen out here. 1 would rather marry a na tive, myself, than one of them," yawned O'Connor. "Right you are." said MacTavish. "Such marriages occur, and I have seen them turn out as well as th average marriage at home. The women live altogether for their husbands, have a child every year for twenty yars. and then die. That ought to be devotion enough for any man." "I don't suppose there could be any com panionship with one of them," Everton re marked inquiringly. "If ifa companionship you're after," re tored MacTavUh. "you had better go and live In a club. Women are the same the world over. Once they get married, chil dren tnd housekeeping are all th?y cart about The most you can hope for Is a ! good temper, and your Filipino has that. The white man who marries one of them gets a devoted wife and is head of his own house, and don't you forget it. That's more than can be said for some married men at home." "Did you ever meet a native woman wh could talk keep her end up, so to speak'."' inquired Everton. "Well, rather," replied Johnson. "They're by no means the playthings you might sup pose. On the average they talk quite as well as our women do at home. You have got to take their surroundings into consid eration. They have no life outside of their own little towns, but there's precious little goes on In those towns that they can't talk about as well as the men. Go into any of their houses; you'll find, say, fifty books in the place, and almost every girl in the house has read ail of them. Your women may have five thousand, but they don't read any of them." "I wonder .if a man could take a native woman back heme with him?" asked Ev erton. "Yes, I suppose so. If there was nothing the matter with her leprosy or smallpox, for Instance," replied O'Connor. "There's nothing in the immigration laws to pre vent." "I mean, would she be received in so ciety?" "That depends on the society, of course." "Surely you get my point? Do you be lieve that, now that we have taken pos session of these islands, we will look upon the inhabitants as social equals, or regard the-m as we do the negroes at home?" "I won't for one," replied O'Connor. "They're not niggers by a d sight!" "If you'll excuse my saying It," inter rupted MacTavish, "there's no telling what you won't do with them. You'll treat them as equals or else as niggers, and they are neither the one nor the other. They are better than any of the Orientals except, perhaps, the Japanese but they are not the equals of white men." A SHOCKING POSSIBILITY. Supposing; that All the Government Clerks Should Strike. Washington Star. "While Washington has had several strikes recently among Its wage earners of more or less seriousness, these were mere pigmies compared with the giant strike of all of the government employes in the ex ecutive departments of Washington for a raise of salary which could be inaugurated if the price of beef and other foods con tinue to rise," said an old government clerk who has weathered many political storms and department tempests. "But this ia no joke. The clerks of the government have the government at their mercy rather than the government having the clerks at its mercy, as is popularly sup posed, if they only realized it and acted concertedly and as a unit. Of course, the idea o a strike on the part of the em ployes of the government in Washington is entirely new, and would be of radical ef fectiveness if carried into operation. It would not be impossible of realization if every one of the HSOUO employes formed a union and obeyed its mandates. The Pres ident would not only have Congress upon his hands, but an army of disgruntled em ployes and a lot of vacant public buildings. He would certainly be up against a hard proposition.. "The high price of meat Jnd food is felt by government employes a keenly as by any other class of wage earners, yet they seem to have been overlooked in Jthe gen eral discussion attending the impending meat famine. Thousands and thousands of them receive from 5!0 to JSO a month max imum pay. anel this is about the average monthly pay of the average wage earner. A strike on the part of every government employe In Washington would be a catas trophe to the country and government alike. Temporary employes could not be put Into their places, as neither the Pres ident nor Congress can override the law. Their places coukl not be filled, as would be commonly supposed, by a host of outsiders unless the entire Civil-perviee Commission were abolished anel the entire civil-service act repealed. Chaos would reign. The vacancies would have to be filleei through the civil service, except Congress wiped it out of existence, as would be probable in the event of the contingencj" I suggest. "There will, however, never be a strike of government employes in Washington for many reasons, and only the major ones I will consider. One Is that of any one body of workers none can be fbund where har mony of thought and union of action are utter Impossibilities. I have never seen in ten years' service any three clerks who could agree upon any one point if one of the three happened to be a woman employe. I have seen men agree among themselves and women hold together for a time at least, but never a concerted agreement on the part of both sexes. Why? Mainly be cause the women wrunted to dominate their views, and as the men would not submit disagreement resulted. Women as a mat ter of fact are poor masters at the art. The relief associations of the different de partments are well patronized by women employes, but they are managed by men or they would have disrupted long ago. "So. if all tho men to a man agreeel to strike all of the women to a woman would disagree and vice versa. Thus the safety of the government, as it were. Is in the taper-fingered hands of our fair friends toiling within the walls of our public build ings. Were all of the employes men and they unanimously agreed to strike for higher wages, force action on the part of Congress, they could tie up the govern ment in twenty-four hours as a baby is tied up in its crib. Another leaf in the wreath which bedecks the brows of our fair cowork(4s; they are saving tho govern ment." Tlie Aisles of the AVoods.

Midsummer Sale NEMO CORSETS We inaugurate this sale to benefit the woman who is preparing for summer vacations. She will probably be beyond the reach of shopping facilities.
