It was discovered n few yenrs elnco that the queen owned GOO houses in various parts of England, not royal residences, but rcnt-yleldlng property, and that about .C.U00 houses had been built by crown lessees on building leaseholds held by the queen. Sho then had also rents from markota and tolls from ferries, .besides tho proceeds of mlnpB and other works upon her prop erty or tho crown property. Sho had largo estates In Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and Berks, valuable lands In tho Iole of Man and In Alderney, Scotland, Ire land and Wales, Of tho New Forest thcro are 2,000 acres of absolute and nlxty-tlirco acres of contingent crown property. Her mnjesty enjoys Incomo from tho forect of Dean, from several other forests and from rich properties In and about London. Osborne, on tho Isle of Wight, and Balmoral la tho highlands are the prlvato property of tho queen and are maintained ont of her own Income. But eho has the upo of a few royal palaces besides and these aro maintained by tho nation at an annual expenditure ranging from $2,500 to $50,000. Tho qucon Ib lu the occupancy of Bucking ham pajaco, Windsor castle, the whlto lodgo at Richmond park and part of fit. James' palace. The jfonialndor of tho lastnamed palace Is occupied by other members of tho royal family. Other royal palaces maintained as such nlthough not in tho occupancy of tho queen, are Kensington palaco, Hamp ton court, which, according to a recent r cstlmato based on the statistics of eight or ten years, costs the nation on tho r averago over $70,000 a year; Kew r palace, Pombroko lodge, the thatched cottage and Sheen cottage, Richmond park, Busby houso in Bushy park and Holyrood palaco. Tho queen when sho visits the continent has ono great houso or another, with whatever repairs and refurnishing aro necessary to fit it for a temporary royal occupant, although for all this she pays out of her own in come Bagshot house, Gloucester houso and Clarence houso are palatial dwel- . lings occupied by various members of ' tho royal family. Tho queen has four rather old-fashioned yachts, on which she makos her pea Journeys, although tho oldest of thorn probably is used seldom or never. v The four cost originally about $1,375, 000. Tho newest Is of 1,890 tons' dis placement and cost a trlflo over $500,- r 000. It cost annually about $G5,000. Frank Jm ai an Rxprtm Ounrd. Frank James as a guard on express tralnB carrying large amounts of money or valuables Is ono of tho novelties tho express pooplo are now arranging. Ne gotiations have beon In progress now for soveral weeks, but tho possibilities ore that they will bo closed up wlthtn a few days. Tho effect of James' name, in view of his fonnor prowess In rob bing trains himself, Is what tho express companies aro aiming after. They do pot know, they say, that he could atop a determined rpbber any more than ono of their own messengers, but they think the ordinary train robber would hesitate to tackle him. James Is will ing to accept tho position, and guaran tee that no train In his charge will be robbed exeept ovor his dead body,- with but ono single provision, and that 1b that 'tho express people put up a bond of $20,000, this amount to go to his widow in case of hla death. Tho ex press people aro Inclined to yield to this, though there Ib somo opposition. Joints haB been firm In standing out for It, und will not go on tho road unless . the bond Ib fixed up to his satisfaction. Clnco he became a respectable, law abiding citizen he 'has taken very good core of his family, and he doea not pro pose to commence dqlng anything olae . now. When the negotiations were first begun bo was asked if he could ahoot with both hands. "Woll," ho replied, "It used to bo that I could, and I guoas I have not forgot ten how yet." James has been working steadily for soma time, but has never been able to mako an exorbitant salary, and for that reason would be willing to take the risk of this venture. As one of his friends Bays. "It is rot as much risk as he has taken on hundreds of occasions beforo when out on his raids. The only differ ence would be that In this he would havo the law on his side." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

I Felix Fauro, tho president of Franco, has sought popular favor more per sistently and to better purpoeo than any other chief executive of that re public, and the l.test Blgn that suc cess baa crowned his efforts comes from a far-off corner of tho world, sayo an exchange. Ho has. graciously con sented to the request of tho cltfzcna of a town In the New Hebrides that bo become a godfather and lend hla name to their tiny municipality. Slnco the beginning of tho now year, there fore, tho town of Faure-Vlllo has beon In existence. The New Hebrides are among tho few really cannibal islands which yet resist the cffortB of missionaries. A peculiar feature about the colony on the Island of Vato is that they aro a law unto themselves and answerable to no nation in particular for their conduct. They are under tho protec tion of a naval commission composed of French and English officers. Aa n result of this lack of govern ment thoro are no legitimate birth or marriages there. In Franco and ner colonics it is essential that every birth be registered in due form by an officer of the government. Neither i any marriage legal unlesa it Ib sol emnized by the stato bb well as the church. Since there is no government in official existence In the3o islands, therefore, tho French settlers havo to content themselves with simply tho re ligious ceremonies of marriage, which. In the eyes of the law, should they re turn to France, would bo no marriago at all. The children born In this strange colony would also have no legal exist ence in France and could with great difficulty bo allowed to marry or in herit property there, for they can show no "acta do naissance," which is all important in that country.
