green copperas dissolved in one quart of
water and poured down II water closet,
will eHrectually concentrate and destroy
the loulcst smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels and other public
places, there is nothing so nice to purify
the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved
in anything under the bed, will render a
hospital OF other places for the sick, free
from unpleasant smells. In fishing mar
kets, slaughter house, sinks, and where
ever there are offensive gases, dissolve
copperas and sprinkle it about, and in p
few days the smell will pass away. If u
rat or mouse dies about the house and
sends fort offensive gas, place some dis
solved copperas in an open vessel near the
place where the nuisance is and it will
purify the atmosphere.

bidders to compete for the gem. The En-
press GATHERINGS agent, Count Orloff, Of
fered the largest sum, it being four hun
dred and fifty thousand roubles and grant
of Russian nobility, and bore it in triumph
to the Russian Court.
The most perfect though not the largest
diamond in Europe is the Regent. 1t be-
longs to the imperial diadom of France;
Napoleon the First used to wear it in the
hilt Of his state sword. It's original
weight was four hundred and ten carats !;
but after it was cut us u brilliant, u labor
of over two years, and ut a cost of more
than three thousand pounds sterling, it
was reduced to one hundred and thirty
seven carats. 1t was found in the cele-
brated mines of Goconda. The thief who
stole it sold it to the grandfather of the
Earl of Chatham when he was command
er Of fort in the East Indies. Mr.. Pitt
sold it for one hundred and thirty five
thousand pounds to Louis Nv, which is
said to be no more than half its real value.
The Star of the South comes next in Or
der Of celebrity. 1t is the largest diamond
ever found in Brazil 1t is now owned by
the King of Portugal. 1t weighed when
found two hundred and tifty-four carats,
but was trimmed down in cutting TO one
hundred and twenty-five. This magnf-
cent diamond was found by three Danish
ed miners who were seeking for gold
during their exile. A great drought had
laid dry the bed of river, and in it they
found this lustrous wonder. 1t is needless
TO say that this stone brought them liberty,
but not much wealth besides.
The "Kohinoor is another wonder,
weighing nine hundred carats, but, was
reduced by bungling cutting to two
hundred and eighty. 1t came into the pos.
session of Queen Victoria in 1849. Three
thousand years before it belonged to Kar-
ma, the King of Anga After the Queen
purchased it eight thousand pounds were
expended in re-polishing it.
There are numerous anecdotes that clus-
ter about this fine diamond, and as it has
passed through the hands of various Indian
princes, violence and fraud are of course
mingled in its history.
quote one of the stories concerning it
The King of Sahara having heard thai
the King of Cabul possessed % diamond
that had belonged to the Great Mogul, the
largest and purest known, he invited the
fortunate owner to his Court, and there
having him in his power, demanded his
diamond, The guest, however, had pro
vided himself against such contingency
with IL perfect imitation of the coveted
Jewel. After some show of resistance ht
reluctantly acceded to the wishes Of hi
host. The delight of Runjeet was ex
treme, but of short duraton-the lapidary
to whom he gave orders to mount his new
acquisition pronounced it to be merely {
bit of crystal. The modification and rag
Of the despot were unbounded. He imme
lliately caused the palace of the King o
Cabal to be invested and ransacked from
top to bottom. For long while th
search was vain. At last slave betrayed
the secret, and it was found in heap o
,shes. Rungeet Singh had it set in
bracelet between two others rs large a
sparrow's eggs. OF other diamonds an'
their peculiar history will speak in IN.

A little lye-year-old could not quite I'M
derstand why the stars did not shine one
night when the rain was pouring down in
torrents. She stood at the window ponder
ing on the subject with as much gravity
as Galileo when he looked at the swinging
lamp In the cathedral Of Pisa, and with
equal success, for all at once her counte-
nance lighted up, and she said; "Mother,
know why the stars don't shine. God has
pulled them all up so as to let the water
come through the holes"

good story of the farewell exercises
at the Pan Presbyterian Council has just
got into print, The venerable Pastor Fisch
Uf Paris has u pretty comfortable assur-
ance of his ability to use the English Ian
guagc. He took occasion to compliment
his dear brethren from America on the
soundness of their faith; and, after dwell
ing little time on this, he proceeded to
praise their eloquence, which he brought
out thus: "And den dthey are 10 varre,'
-zo--ah-zo varree-zo with II French
shrug of the shoulders) 70 varree talk-a-
leev!" which of course fairly shook the
house, some brethren probably having an
impression that the word taken literally
would not be altogether out of the way.

A precocious child should not be taught
to read before it is eight years old, and
greater care should be taken to develop
its body than brain. There, are thousands
of children born with tendency to ex-

velopment instead of mental during the
years of growth, would make our brightest

Whether prisoners on trial should be in
terrogalcd or not is much discussed in
England, in view of the recent singular
trial of the ,Stauntons, who were found
guilty of murder, as they claim, from not
having opportunity TO testify in their own
behalf On the continent, rs is well known,
the prisoner is always subject to severe
examination at the hands of the Judge
1t is "A singular fact, as claimed by Sil
james Stephen, that in England prisoners
were always liable to be questioned up tc
the revolution of 1858, and that down tc
1886 they were allowed to answer the evil
dence against them In that year the law
was passed providing accused persons witt
counsel, the effect of which was to close
the prisoners mouths entirely The Pal

Children.
WOMAN

| believe woman is the equal of man and
has all the rights Of man, and one more
hat of protection. | believe the institution
of marriage to be the holiest and most
sacred institution among men. Yet it
took thousands of years to advance from
| slavery up to the marriage institution. |
hate II man who thinks he is the head OF
the family. do. despise him. hate
one of these dignilied old galoots. never
saw II digniGed man who was not a Ounce.
Soemnity is II breastwork which medioc-
rity throws up to defend itself from the
eyes of the world. hate II man who is
IN aristocrat in his family, and whose wife
IS obliged to be beggar. She says, g
want dollar" and asks for it rs if she
were standing on II bombshell, and he re
plies, " What did you do with the last fifty
cents | gave you?' How many women
are obliged to be continual beggars! How
can you raise children in such i'm AT
mosphere? Its II terrible thing; its
wretched and infamous, believe in the
democracy of the family Every home
should be IL little repnbic in itself. Love
is the only thing that will pay ten per
| is the only thing where the least possible
extravaganza is the height of economy
| What right has man to be the head of the
family? A man should be cheerful and
pleasant on coming into the house. When
you enslave anybody you make them dis
honest. You cannot put fetter on the
limb of any man without putting a cores
bonding fetter on your brain. Some people
ask me if am in favor of women voting
| say let them settle that themselves. But
it has seemed to me that on some ques.
tions, that of war, for instance, II woman
who has children to be offered on the atal
has rs good a right to decide us some
wretched nobody WHO reels and stagger'
to the ballot box.
| sometimes think there is more genuine
kindness among the poor than among the
rich. There is no need Of being stingy
If you have but dollar, spend it like {
man. | would rather be bcggar ant
spend my money like II king, than kin9
and spend my money like IL beggar
Among the poor there are more opportunl
ties for kindness and self-denial thar
among the rich. A hut with love in it il
a place fit for king. A little while ago
stood by the tomb of the dead Napoleon
and when | thought of his past life,
thought l would rather have been Frenol
peasant and worn wooden shoes, living ii
a hut with little wife loved, with chill
dren upon my knee and their arms abou
my neck, and die unnoiced and unknown
loved by those who knew me, than to have
been that king. 1t is not necessary to b.
great Or powerful to be happy. A falst
doctrine has been taught in the communi
ty. 1t is that only u man that works hi
whole life away is successful. A MAJ
whose days have been days of enjoyment
whose life is happy, who Is the emperor a
well as the subject of one heart-his lif
has been the only true success.
