or her personal Jewels, next to
her wedding ring, says the Sun, the
lato Queen Victoria most valued an
insignificant enamel ring, sot with n
slnglo dfamond,' given her hy Prince
Albert whon alto was yet a child;
nnd his betrothal ring, a snnlco sot
with tho finest emeralds.
Those two rings wore never re
moved from her hand and woro bur
ied with her. Much treasured, too,
was tho brncolot hIio always woro,
composed of a numerous array of
Htiml! golden hearts, each with a
. minute mlnlatnro of ono of her
grnndchlldion or greatgrandchildren.
Queen Aloxandrn, In addition to a
'Bafoful of dlnmondtf and pearls, owns
porno wonderful colorod goms ru
bles, sapphires and oinoralds
which, however, sho rarely wears.
Tho only colorod stones sho really
'likes aio amethysts, nnd theso she
has given, nt Christmas nnd on their
fotos days, to her frlonds and jela"
ties In such numbers, sot In scrtrf
phis, banglofl, chnlns, hnt plnB and
sunshade tops, that sho has quite
popularlzod tho stone, hitherto llttlo
valuetl In England. With drosses of
her favorite color,, man vo, tho queen
always wonrs amothysts.
Tho Jowels sho values ubovo nil

beryl, omorald, ruby, topaz, Jacinth,
omorald tho Ilrst letters or which
spellout tho nmno by which sho was
nlwnys called ho husband, ."Dortle,"
tho beautiful diamond croHS given to
hor by tho womon of Dunmnrk on
hor marriage, and tho crown of
brilliants, sot u silver, bestowed by
tho womon of Hnglund on hor sllvor
wedding day.
Tho most splendid Jewels Queon
Alexnndrn pobsobhoh aro undoubtedly
her poarls. Sho haB ropes and ropes
of them; high dog collars nnd pearls
sot In trimmings for tho finrsugos of
her ball drosses. These havo boon
collected r.ud given to hor hy tho
czar and her Hlstor, tho downgor om
press of lltiBHlu, as.woll as by mom-
Iioih of tho English, Danish and Gor
man royal rnmllles, many being old
holilooms. ,
Tho queen's pearls aro surpassed
only by tho young duchess of Marl
borough'H historic collection. This
Includes iiomo of tho most Intonating
pearls In oxlstonco tho pearls that
belonged to tho lll-rated Marie An
toinette, which woro bought by Vnn
derbllt for his daughter as a mnr
rlago gift. Kadi pearl In the young
duchoHs' ueclclaco It Ih an Immense
ly long one Is valued at 100 A, and
sho sometimes wears the ropes
wound twice around her neck nnd
twice around her waist.
I hope I am divulging no state
ueerot, nays a writer In tho (lrand
Magazine, if I statu that before
Queen Alexandra went last season to
dlao with tho duchoBS at Sutherland
house, the beautiful home of the
Marlborough's In Gurzou street, she
iiskod her youthful grnro to "put on
all hor pearls," Just for once, "for
then 1 will wear mine," laughed the
queen, "After dinner wo will count
which has tho largest number." Ami
they did. like two school girls. The
duchess was tho winner by two.
Tho ilrst' string was tho Ho-culled
"Nookluco of tho Virgin of Atnkhav"
tho second wns once tho property of
tho ox-queen of Naples; tho third
wau worn by tho Kmprosu hlugeulo
on Htuto occasions.
This last string contained tho
great pearl found In l'atersou, IS
years ago, This pearl, If It had not
been somewhat Injured by the ntol
lusk being boiled bofoio the shell
wau opened, would ho tho finest and
and lnrgcnt gem of modern times.
Mrs. Maokay Is said to have tho

of them. Quo peuil rope belonging

Panorama of the Nile.
TourlstH woro carried up tho Nile
last year us far as Gondokoro, with
in 3fi0 mllos of tho bend of tho Nile
on tho north shoro of Victoria
Nyanza. Tho government of tho
AngloI3gyptlau Soudan hns this
opened tho Nllo route clear to Ugan
da on tho coast of tho lake, and Is
now taking stops greatly to Improve
nnd quicken this service. Acocrdlng
to Mr. Krcshlluld, tho well known
mountaineer, ono of tho largest tour
ist companies expects soon to sell
tickets to Victoria Nyanza by way
of the ited sea, returning by the Nllo.
Tho heart of tho Itowonzorl moun
tain rungo Is about lf0 miles wost
of this second largest of frosh wator
lakes and tho chief sourco of the
Nllo. Mr. Fresh Hold, who returned
u whllo ago from Huwonzorl, says
ho belloves these mountnliiB will fre
quently he visited by tourists In
tho coming years, and that from
some points of vantage on tho rnugo
practically tho wholo region of the
N'lle's BourcoB will bo within view.
At the font of tho mountains to the
south Is Lake Albert Kdward, and
!0 miles to tho north Is Albert Ny
anza. TJieso three lakes aro tho
sources of tho waters that go to
form tho upper Whlto Nllo
It would, Indeed, he a remarkable
panorama. The mountain mass rises
from 11,000 to 1 1,000 foot above tho
surrounding plateau. Thoso who
havo been tliero say that on a cloar
morning the two greater -of thoso
lakes would ho plainly In view.
If vision enn penetrato from any
of Iluweuzorl's outlooks to tho con
trol regions of Victoria Nyanza, visi
tors may seo n water expanse that no
one on tho lako Itaolf has over seen,
No native pnddlor or llttlo European
steamer has ever crossed tho lake.
All of them hug tho coasts, and tho
central roglous are still a mystery.
It will bo nn experience worth
having to boo theso sources of tho
Nile, which tho world vainly sougth
for. centuries, spread out before one's
eyes nnd kindling with tho glorious
Illumination of tho rising sun. Al
most Invariably tho clouds of Huwon
zorl veil the vast scene except for an
hour or two after dawn, nnd It will
doubtless cost more In physical effort
to command this view than most
folks nro able to pay.
Kveu If everything Is provided, aB
on tunny Alpine ascents, to make tho
Journey up tho slope us safe and
comfortable as possible, It will bo n
dllllcult climb, ami unless a shelter
U built among tho upper snow camp
must bo loft lone beforo daylight
with lanterns lighting tho way, as
used to bo done on Mount Wane.
Tho great panorama bids fair to bo
reserved for mountaineering athletes
until a cog-wheel railroad Is built.

Trniln AVIth Latin America.
That Latin America is worthy of
our best efforts nt lcgltlmntc ex
ploitation Is proved by tho fact that
Its totnl forolgn trado, exports and
ImportB, amounted In 190G to over
$1,700,000,000. Ot this mngnlfl
cont totnl $1,000,000,000 wcro sales
nnd $700,000,000 purchases. Or tho
first totnl tho United Stntcs bought
of Latin America $30,000,000, and
ot tho second It sold to Lntln Amer
ica $189,000,000. Thoro is, there
fore n balance ot trado against the
United Stntes or approximately
$100,000 000. Although these fig
ures show that tho United States
buys :ir per cent of Latin America's
sulos and 'sells in turn to it 27 per
cent of Its purchases, such statistics
would he misleading If not analyzed.
For Instance, this 27 per cont, not
largo In Itself, Is mndo up principal
ly by the group of countries border
ing on tho Caribbean, and among
them chiefly by Mexico nnd Cuba.
In contrast wo note that Drazll, tho
empire republic, with nn urea equal
to that of the United States and n
population greater than Hint of Mex
ico, bought from the United Stntcs
only ll per cent of Its Imports; that
Argentina, whoso foreign trnde 1b

pan or Clilnu, purchased only 11 por
cent of her lumports from tho United
States; that Chile, which had quad
rupled hor commorco In n decado,

that Uruguay, Parnguoy and nollvla
