Mr.. Sanford Morris, of Indian
apolis, Indiana, has just received
from his son, Ernest Morris, the
boy naturalist, now seeking fame
and specimens in Brazil, letter
which tells the most romantic tale
of his good fortune in quite a diff
ferent field, Nearly two years ago
young Morris, enthusiastic in ma
tural history and only eighteen
years of age, left Indianapolis,
struck the Ohio, and reached New
Orleans by skiff voyage, and
thence sailed for Para, in Brazil,
intending to ascend the Amazon
and collect specimens in the wild
and unknown South American for
ests. Reports of his explorations
have been received and published
from time to time, as he reached
points Of communication along the
route, He has assembled to the
fountains of the Amazon in Ecua-
dor, hundreds of miles beyond the
point reached by the naturalist
Bates, sent out some years ago by
the British government, and fur
nished with unlimited means. Ac-
counts of his wonderful adventures
and successful career as a lover of
science having reached the ears of
the Smithsonian Institute and va
rious scientific associations in New
York and Philadelphia, he has been
engaged to deliver lectures on his
return, and an Eastern publishing
house will launch his journal in
book form. He writes to his fam
lily here relating the grandest of all
adventures yet. The story is as
follows, and reads like a chapter
from the "Arabian Nights; While
encamped one evening on the
banks of the Amazon, near
Santarm, below Villa Franco, a
furious storm arose. While pre-
pairing shelter with palms he
saw a young Indian maiden on
the stream in q light canoe, and
trying to make the shore before the
storm came on. She was not equal
to the task, and Morris noticing
she was being drawn slowly toward
the powerful current, swan boldly
ont to her rescue, at great peril to
himself, and pushed the canoe
safely to the shore. Her gratitude
took the shape Of an invitation to
conduct her home. The young
hero accepted, and after a weary
tramp and some sharp-Shooting at
wild beasts on the way, returned
her home, only to find, to his sur
prise, that her father was native
chief of a powerful Brazilian tribe
and owned title deeds to the vast
region lying between the river Am,
azon and the Sierra Acara range oi
mountains, and that the girl wa
his only child. The old chief over
whelmed him with Kindness ant
gifts, has taken him into the fam

One gem at least in the crown
which was borne before Her Males
ty on Tuesday is of great antiquity
and Of high historic interest. The
large sapphire, the partial drilling
of which suggests that it may have
formerly figured in the turban of
some Eastern sultan, was purchased,
it is true, by George "; but in the
front Of the diadem and in the CEN
ter of q Maltese cross Of diamonds
is the famous ruby given to Edward
the black prince by Pedro, king of
CASTLE, after the battle of Neieya,
A. d., 1867. This same ruby was
worn by Henry V in his helmet at
Agincourt. The gem is pierced
right through. Otherwise, albeit
each particular diamond, emerald,
andpearl in the dazzling galaxy
may have its own pedigree and le-
gend, no authentic record of the
crown jewels has been preserved,
and Queen Victoria's crown, strictly
speaking, is a very modern affair
indeed,
The famous Tory crown of Sir
Robert -Vyuer, which the crazy
woman mutilated in 1915, had
served at the coronation of William
~; but, as it weighed more than
seven pounds troy, it was decided
that the ponderous gewgaw should
be broken up and that new and
permanent crown imperial should
be fashioned. The new crown,
after having been examined and APP
proved by Her Majesty, was exhib-
tied during the last week of June,
1888, to a large party of friends by
Messrs. Rundell & Bridge, at their
premises in Ludgate Hill. Origin
ally the cap was of purple, or
rather dark blue velvet; but at the
last moment this was changed to
one of crimson. Purple il, indeed,
the proper imperial hue; but it
should not be forgotten that such a
purple cap of maintenance is still
extant in the crown of st. Edward,
which, in its actual form, only
dates from the reign Of Charles
the II, when it was made to replace
the coronol worn by the oonfessor
at the altar. St. Edwards crown
has arches and fillets covered with
exceptionable values; and this is
the one which Colonel Blood stole.
Her Majesty's crown is constructed
ont Of the fragments Of half
dozen by-gone insignia Of regality
which were broken up in 1888, and
which included the diadem worn
by Mary Of Modena, by Queen
Caroline and Queen Charlotte as
queens consort, and that assumed
by Mary II, and Anne as queens
regnant Thus the British crown
may, as a comparative new thing
made up of very ancient materials,
be held to present a sufficiently
striking likeness to the British con-
stitution, which has itself been
broken into very small pieces, which
has been patched and mended, en-
larged and renovated over and over
again.

olive Logan ON HaIr.DressIng

Olive Logan writes: Girls, at
tend to your couture. No matter
how simple your dress is, look out
for your capillary adornments and
all will be well. Avoid, if possible,
all false hair about the face. Cork
screw curls, ventilated scratches,
and bogus bangs look well on the
stage or under a veil, but they give
age when the wearer is subjected to
inspection. A tiny lock of your
hair shipped off at the top Of your
noses bridge, and rolled up in a
ring with a hair-pin at night will
make a pretty little curly fringe
across your forehead in the morn
ing, and will never be noticed, even
if the fashion changes and you wish
to brush the short locks back with
the rest. Comb up the back hair
as high asyou can without dragging
your arms out of their socket; en-
circle the top of your Uranium with
a smoothly-brushed and neatly
plated braid, and in the vacuum
adherence which this performance
creates stick a high comb or vol
luminous bow, and you have a coif-
fure."
