COUNTY, OREGON,
TIPS FOR THE QUEEN
They Are Called Perquisites, But She Gail
Them Just the Same.
Queen Victoria gets more tips than
any other functionary in Great Britain,
and, what is more, she insists on get
ting them. Of course they are not
called tips. They are called perquis
ites, but it is all the same. An ex-attache,
writing in the New York Trib
une, says that among the most curious
of them is her right to every whale or
sturgeon captured on the coast of the
united kingdom and brought to land.
Iloth of these perquisites date back to
the days of the Norman kings and it
appears that in the case of the "whale
the monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robe might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for the stiffening of
her royal garments.
Another of the queen's backsheesh
is a certain number of magnificent
Cashmere shawls, which are dispatched
to her every year from the kingdom of
Cashmere. They vary in value, as a
rule, from three hundred to twelve
hundred dollars apiece and the queen
is accustomed to present one of them
as a wedding present to every young
girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu
ture she is in any way interested.
Every tailor holding a patent of "Pur
veyor to her Majesty," if he conforms
to ancient tradition and usage, should
present her with a silver needle each
year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present annually to her
a table cloth, while from other sources
she is entitled to an annual contribu
tion of such varied tips as white doves,
white hares,currycombs,fire tongs, scar
let hosiery, nigh tcaps,knives,lances and
crossbows. Moreover, at the corona
tion the lord of the manor of Adding
ton must present to the sovereign a
"dish of pottage" composed of "almond
milk, brawn of capons, sugar, spices,
chickens parpoiled and chopped." At
the same ceremony the lord of the
manor of Ilaydon is obliged by virture
of his tenure from the crown to pre
sent the monarch with a towel, the
lord of the manor of Workshop giving
the sovereign a "right-handed glove."
These are only a few of the various
backsheesh to which Queen Victoria is
entitled by tradition and usage.
&OMETHING ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Their Appearance In the Hough, the Cutting-
end Kent t It-Ids.
The ruby mirrors the flame of fire,
the sapphire rellects the blue of the
heavens, the emerald pictures the depth
of the sea, but the diumond is a dew
drop laden with sunbeams, the most
poetic creation of an organic nature.

stone has been washed out of the clay
and broken loose from the ore a dia
mond presents the appearance of a
crystal pebble, somewhat pointed at
each end. It usually uppears to be of

ray of light will seem to leap from the
very heart of the stone. From this

TUESDAY, MAY 28,
CRUEL BtUJiT IITINDIa:
Hunters Train the Panther to
Catch Deer.
Hindoos Care Nothlnir for Amnsement T0n.
lea Accompanied by Physical Suffering
or Great OanKer Battle of Hand
and the Swinging Festival.
India is a land of sport, but occident
als are always much surprised to find
that sport, to be appreciated by the
average mild Hindoo, must have some
thing cruel about it, either to man or
beast. It is to India, by the way, that
Europe and America owe polo, which
was introduced into British canton
ments by the Manipuris. Hindoos are
great cock fighters, says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle. Large sums
of money are spent on these contests,
nor are the birds furnished with spurs
to make the combats still more san
guinary. The cocks use only nature's
weapons and the wounds inflicted are
severe enough to satisfy the Hindoo
craving for bloody spectacles. Of horse
racing the Hindoo is passionately fond;
and a race will practically close all
business. The government printing
offices at Allahabad have on occasions
been closed because the compositors
abandoned their cases to see the races.
A steeplechase where there is every
possibility of some one being thrown
exerts a wonderful fascination on the
people, who do not hesitate to call
themselves the greatest physical cow
ards in the world. Their hunting, too,
is of the cruel order. Panthers, or, as
they are called in India, cheetahs, are
trained to pursue ,deer and kill them.
There is no risk attaching to the hunt
ers, but there is a great d-.-al of danger
to the unfortunate ahekari who trains
the ferocious beast. Tha panther is
blindfolded, a leash is placed around
his middle, and he is thus lea to the
plain where deer can be found, or to
where the deer have been driven by a
swarm of beaters. The assemblage,
mounted upon elephants or horses or in
conveyances, keep a respectful distance
from the cheetah, who is led into the
open and the hood quietly removed and
the leash slipped. The cheetah, when
furiously hungry, has been known to
turn upon his trainer as the quickest
prey, and this is the supreme, the ago
nizing moment. The cheetah stands
straight, his forelegs stiffening and his
tail slowly moving. He purrs like a
huge cat, looks angrily around him,
then, crouching, bounds after his prey.
The cheetah catches his victim and,
seizing it by the throat, buries his
fangs deeply, sucking in the blood
with greedy gasps. The trainer ap
proaches gently, so gently that his
footfall can scarcely be heard. The
cheetah is growling ominously. His
tail beats his sides in ferocious impa
tience. Quietly the man steals toward
the crouching beast and slips the hood
over the eyes; then the leash is passed
around and all danger is averted.
The head of the deer has to be sev
ered, still leaving in the cheetah's
mouth a goodly lump of bleeding
flesh. There is nothing very suorts
inanlike in tins performance, but
there Is a great deal of danger attach
ing to it, and that danger devolves
upon one man. There have been cases
where the panther has absolutely re
fused to chase the deer, but has devot
ed his entire time and attention to the
hunting party. Then the game waa not
voted a auccchs.
A villainous amusement In India is
that called panjan. Ilconslsta in lock
ing hands and seeing who can be miide
to kneel. There la no fun in It, but
still it is assiduously cultivated and
hands are dally lx-lng hroken in this
Inane form of sport. Kite flying Is a
national affair and beta of the moat ex
traordinary inugnitudo are made aa to
who shall cut his opponent'a string.
The swinging festival, or rhtirruk
poojah, is another form of pleasure
which could only satisfy a race natu
rally cruel. There la now a good deal
of correspondence lwiwern tho India
oflleeand the government of Calcutta
with a View of stopping this detest
able sport. Hundreds of Kuropcana
visit the scene and leave Immeasurably
disgusted, but the native find much to
enjoy In It and Ix-at their torn Vitus
and blow their pipea with great guato
while the poor victims are swinging In
midair. This sxirt has some remote
connection with a n-ligloua rite, and

COINS OF LITTLE USE.

The Gold Dollar Had No Utility, While
the Three-Cent Piece Served a Purpose.
To one who has not given the sub
ject thought it would seem that the
most useless coins ever issued by the
United States were the silver three
cent pieces. They were small, as thin
as a sheet of manilla paper and before
they finally disappeared from circula
tion they came to' be regarded as
nuisances.
Although there is much to be said
against the annoying little coins, says
the New York Herald, they were, as a
matter of fact, of far greater utility,
as far as circulation is concerned, than
another coin. This is the gold dollar,
which, experts at the sub-treasury say,
has never served any useful purpose.
Said Maurice Muhleman, cashier of
the sub-treasury, recently:
"From the. mutilated condition of
the gold dollars sent here for redemp
tion it is positively shown that the
public do not regard them as coins.
Their only use appears to be for ban
gles, necklaces, watch charms, scarf
pins and the like. It is doubtful if one
in a thousand ever really passed in
circulation
"With the three-cent silver piece, it
was different. When first coined, the
country had nothing in the shape of a
coin between the huge copper cents
and half cents and the silver half
dime. The small coin was hailed as a
blessing, and became popular at once.
There was an excellent reason for its
issue also.
"Strange as it may seem, It was not
provided for by a coinage act, but by
an act revising the postal rates. This
law lowered the cost for transmitting
me unit 01 weight lor letters from five
to three cents. It was deemed advisable
by congress thereupon to issue a coin
of corresponding denomination. The
coin was of great utility, and circulated
freely until the advent of the nickel."

The Vanishing American Indian Has Dona
Nothing to IteneUt Mankind.
A recent brief announcement, un
noticed by many, had an important
bearing on the "Indian question, " or
on tho duration of that question, says
the Knnmis City Star. It was, seem
ingly, that the last mounted soldier of
the United Statesarmy had liven ordered
out of tho Indian Territory, something
that had never before happened. Kver
since the white man landed on the
shores of what are now the United
States a white man with a gun has
iK-en watching the Indian. The first
semblance of an army was raised to
fight Indians; almost the first structure
raised on the shore was a fort for pro
tection against Indians; so, for two
hundred year and more as the Indian
has falien back, the soldier and the
fort have moved with him. Then the
white man moved around to the west
ern iM-ean and tho western shore, to
Oregon and California, and begun to
push the Indian to the eastward, fort
and soldier and settler altogether press
ing on. Now the Indiana moved back
from the Atlantic and l'aclllc to the
tfreat central plains aeem surrounded,
and now comes the order to take off
the guard. "He can neither fight nor
fiy" is the Idra of this order. "He
must Ihs a 'good Indian' now. The
trooM-rsran unsaddle and take a long
rest from now on.n Ih?s not this re
ally look a if we were approaching
the last hour of the last Indian?
In truth, the original "real" Indian,
Absolutely unchanged by contact with
the white man, has gone now except in
the fur desert and mountain fast
nesses. In 141, Francis I'arkman
tell us In the "Oregon Trail.- he saw
Indian who had not emerged from
the "atone age," and used Imple
ment and weapons auch as may have
la-en used by people U-fore Noahs
flood. Hut could such Indians h found
now? Certainly not In the region
where Mr. I'arkman found them. Ll-

derly people who visit the "Wild West"
snow make mild complaint that the
Indians who do the best they can to
look "natural" do not look like the
Indians of forty years ago. That In
dian has, somehow, "passed on."
This much is certain, that the "last
Indian" will be, in every sense of the
word, the "last." He will leave noth
ing behind him to mark the place he
occupied in the world no history;
neither monument. Books there will
be and museums and "collections," but
none by him. Should an Indian be
come so learned and accomplished as to
write a history he would become a
white man. Many white men have
followed him, studied him. Learned
men from foreign countries have jour
neyed here for such purposes, but who
of all of them has learned the secret of
the Indian's heart? To do that it
would be necessary to become for the
time an Indian to "put yourself in
his place;" and what white man has
ever done that? The Indian has no
record, or it is as if whispered to the
winds or committed to the leaves that
fnll or to the water that runs away.
The Indian rears, while he Is an Indian,
no habitation that endures; when it is
gone there is nothing but a ring on
the ground that the rain washes away.
He throws up no highway; his narrow
path through the grass lasts no longer
than the buffalo's road to ford in the
stream. So there must come a time
when, leaving no trace behind, he shall
pass out of this world, when the "last
inuian" snail go like the mist.
A COURT BALL.
Brilliancy of the Scene a Depicted by an
American Visitor.
Never shall I forget the sight which
greeted mo as we entered, writes Win
nifred Grant, in Home and Country. A
long walk between two lines of people
led to tho further end of tho room, '
where I saw a slender man, in the uni
form of the Austrian hussars, and a
sweet-faced lady iu a court costume
that fairly blazed with jewels, sur
rounded by ladies and gentlemen in
waiting, all gorgeously attired. The
brilliancy of the countless crystal gas
lights from the huge chandeliers, tho
superb uniforms, wealth of sparkling
jewelson all sides, and the mngulficeut
gowns, all completed a picture of daz
zling iH'iiuty, never to be forgotten. I
was dimly aware of tho fact that the
countess had oguin given our names to
some oillcial, who repeated them to tho
master of ceremonies, handing him the
cards. Not visiting curds, mind you,
but huge things with our names so
clearly written us to defy mistake. We
hud dropped our trains on entering the
room, and they were immediately spread
out to their full width und length by
ushers with long wands.
Then we slowly inarched up tho
room, and after our names had Wen
announced to their majesties, we each
stcpM-d forward and courtcsled, or
bowed, almost to the floor. Then we
backed away, keeping our faces toward
the royal party, until we reached the
end of the room, where we stopHd to
breathe for a minute. I had la-en pre
sented, and lived, and was grateful.
1'iesently there was a movement In
the lines of gueata, and at the same
moment a hidden orchestra Isr-gan a
ma Jest io polonaise. The gueata moved
towards the sides of the room, leaving
the center cleared, ami, headed by two
ushers with staves, the royal party
slowly marched around the ballroom
and then retired. Ilia majeaty'a ball
had been formally opened.
