Physicians in ali ages have thoroughly

4 Bonanza Queen.

Mrs. r. p. Bell, of San Francisco, is
a native of Boston, about twenty-eight
years Of age, and the wife of Mr.. Bell,
one of the directors of the Bank of
California He is also largely inter
ested in silver mines with Flood,
O'Brien and Mackey and others,
and is said to have an income of $780,
600 week. Mrs. Bell has the largest
and most costly collection of gems
owned by any one lady in the United
States. There is stomacher and chat
elaine of diamonds that is perfectly be-
wildering TO look upon. In the golden
belt alone are $50 diamonds. The chat
elaine is composed of stars and cres-
cents of exquisite workmanship de
scending to the bottom of the skirt. 1t
contains 1873 diamonds. 4 tiara of
diamonds is fashioned into crosses.
with one huge black pearl in the CEN
tire that alone cost $1,000. There are

monds to match the stOmacher, each
containing fifty large stones. Two
bracelets matching the last named arti-
Gle contain gems of the purest water,
weighing from two to four esrats each.

carats. There are just 240 diamonds in
this trifiing article of adornment. A
large emerald and diamond necklace of
magnificent workmanship, has $50
large diamonds and an equal number of
emeralds. There are large diamond
and emerald ear-drops to match the
above. Bracelets of diamonds and en-
eralds complete this set. An article of
adornment that would make halt of
the fair sex sigh with envy is coral
and diamond necklace. The coral is of
a fine pink hue, and the diamonds are
of a large size and magnificent bril-
liancy, attaining a striking and dazzling
contrast EardrOps and two bracelets
of the same complete the set. A but
terfly hair adOrnment has the body of
the insect composed of a fine long pearl
of yellOwish white. Pearls, sapphires,
rubies and emeralds compose the wings.
There is second butterfly hair adorn-
ment. A fine, large opal of magnificent
colors compose the body, while the
wings are made of diamonds, pearls and
rubies, arranged to represent the natu-
raj colors. A vinaigrette of solid Roman
gold has a solitaire diamond in the CEN
tire, resembling the fair-sized calcium
light. In this superb collection are
such trifles as two solitaire eardrOps,
weighing eleven and a half carats each,
which cost $50, 900. A chatelaine watch
set in gold with turqiose, diamonds and
rubies; four magnificent diamond and
sapphire rings; and two large diamond
star shoe buckles to match the necklace.
The total value of this fortune in jewels
il $3.50, ,0O0.

Dried Apples

A few days ago young lady resolved
to show some of her knowledge of
cooking. Dried apples. or "snitz,"
came under her immediate attention
and there was pound OF them. These
she emptied into a half gallon crock,
poured water in upon them and placed
them upon the stove. Not long after,
while attending to other matters, her
attention was drawn TO the "snitz."
They were trying to get out Of the
crock, and many of them did get out.
This surprised her somewhat, but, con-
cluding that there were too many in
the crock for comfort she "dipped"
lot of them out. Not long thereafter
she discovered that more of them want
ed to get out of shot water" Thinking
it would be unwise to let so many escape,
she clapped lid over the top of the
crock and covered it with brick. She,
of course, thought she had the "snitz"
imprisoned beyond escape; but she de-
ceived herself in giving credence to
that thought. This, however, was not
her fault, for she possessed no know
ledge whatever respecting the expan-
siye qualities Of ''snitz." She thought
she had things fixed, but the "sni;z"
thought otherwise, and loud noise
soon announced that something had
happened. The cooks ear told her
quite distinctly where the noise came
from, and her eyes corrOborated the
fact. In brief, the "snitz" had Kicked
out the bottom of the crock an were
crawling all over the stove in quest of
dry weather. This was too much for
the new cooks patience. although it was
only her firsr effort at stewing dried
apples. She didn't know what to do
toward saving the lively nutritious, food
and stood, hesitating. But she hesitated
too long, and by the time she was able
to collect her senses the "snitz" were
not only spread all over the stove, but
occupied almost every square inch of
the floor, thereby illustrating the fact
that one pound of dried apples, well
watered, can grow rapidly to an aston.

A White Mountain Storm.

On the l1th of January, the little
colony of weather observers on Mount
Washington went through a terrible
experience. The morning of the 10th
was beautiful, but il began to grow cold
in the afternoon, and soon all around
was an ocean of frozen air. By noon
the next day the storm had become so
violent and the ice and sleet drifted so
frightfully that eight panes of glass
were broken, rendering the adjustment
of the storm shutters a work of unusual
danger and difficulty. The timbers
creaked and strained, and such was the
deafening roar of the tempest and the
rattling of the ice against the building
that it was impossible TO be heard when
calling at the top of the voice at yard s
distance. The record showed that dur
ing the night the wind blew thirty-five
miles more rapidly than ever expert
enced on Mount Washington and the
highest velocity in the world.
The drop was from 1s6 miles per
hour to ten in five hours. At . o'clock
the temperature was quite moderate,
and observations could be taken out
side. During the storm, which lasted
twenty hours, the barometer fell l.130
inches, the greatest change ever OBJ
served since the station was established
there. The narrator likened the storm
to gale at sea. There would be lull
for few seconds, then a terrific roar
and rush of ice and snow and sleet
against the building which threatened
its existence. While the gale was at
its highest point Of fury the men pre-
pared themselves for the worst. The
unusual severity of the storm led them
to believe that the little building in
which they were stationed would be
raised from its foundations and sent
spinning into Tuckerman's ravine or
the yawning gulf below. Each man
wrapped himself tightly in furs and
blankets. The ropes and chains were
made doubly secure and every pre-
caution taken to guard against accident.
The suppOsitiOn is that the velocity
of the wind at one time was greater
than that given, being, according to
the opinion of the officer, up TO 200
miles an hour. In exposing the ane-
mometer the danger was so great that
the exact figures could not be obtained.
The quantity of snow, sleet and hail
which fell during the twenty hours of
the storm equaled 2.S9 inches of water.
The cold was so intense that a basin OF
water, within two feet of the fire, was
frozen and the men had the utmost
difficulty in keeping themselves from
freezing to death. The officers speak
of their experiences with 2 shudder.
The violence of the storm is unparal-
leled in the history of the service. The
highest velocity ever reached before
was l5l miles in ISL.

One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago not POUND
of coal, not a cubic foot of illuminating
gas had been burned in this country.
No iron stoves were used, and no con-
trivance for economizing heat was en-
ployed until DIR. Franklin invented the
iron-framed fireplace, which still bears
his name. All the cooking and warm
ing i'm town and country were done by
the aid of fire, kindled in the brick ov-
en- or on the hearth. Pine knots or tai
low candles furnished the lights for the
long winter nights, and sanded floors
supplied the place of rugs and carpets.
The water used for household purposes
was drawn from deep wells by the
creaking sweep. Noform Of pump was
used in this country, so far as We can
learn, until after the commencement
of the present century. There were no
friction matches in those early days,
by the aid of which fire could be easi-
ly kindled: and if the fire "went out
on the hearth" over night, and the
finder was damp SO that the sparks
would not catch, the alternative was
presented of wandering through the
snow mile or so to borrow brand of
a neighbor. Only one room in any
house was warm, unless some Of the
family were ill; in all the rest the tenn
perature was at zero many nights in the
winter. The men and women of a
hundred years ago Cndressed and went
to their beds in a temperature colder
than that of our modern barns and
wood-sheds and they never complained.

washington's strategy.

In the month of July, 1777, the
American army was at Middlebrook.
y. j. Generel Howe, with the main
body of the British army, held New
York, and il was known that Burgoyne
was coming down the Hudson with
heavy force. An English fleet lay i'm
New York bay, and toward the middle
of the month DULY it was reported to
Washington that an unusual movement
was being made on the water. lie was
uneasy. Ii was a critical period. A
certain movement he much desired to
make. and in order TO make il success
fully not only must the utmost secresy
be preserved, but, if possible, the atten-
ton of the enemy must be drawn in
another direction Finally he prepar-
ed despatch of seemingly great i'm
portance, directed it to General Israel
Putnam, which he proposed to forward
by an honest Vermont soldier. The
soldier was directed 10 don the garb of
a common farm labOrer and to then re-
port to the headquarters of the Com
mander-in-chief, which he did. Admit
ted to Washington's presence, he was
directed to take off one of his heavy
shoes. A shoemaker was present with
his kit Of tools, who took the shoe in
hand, and very soon had the despatch
pegged up between the two soles.
When the soldier, who had witnessed
the operation, had put on his shoe again,
Washington told him what he was to
do. He was simply to deliver that shoe
to General Putnam at a certain canton
ment between Princeton and the Hud-
son, and he was tomake his way through
the RamapO Pass.
But, General cried the man in
amaze, Il can reach General Putnam
just as quickly by an other route.
Think of the Cow Boys and the
Tories in that pass. l shall be surely
captured
My good man, said the Commander
in-chief, betraying not a particle of
anger, q do not require you to think,
but simply TO act and obey. IL you
fear to go by that route | will send
another in your place. | know the
danger
No, General, will CO.
And the man went; and was carl
tured as Washington had known he
must be; and the enemy, keenIy on the
alert, found the despatch, for the hid
ing place between the soles of the shoe
was an old device-found it, and the
contents of that despatch led General
Howe upon false trail long enough to
enable General Washington to accom-
plish the purpose he had in view.
