on the 26th to be about 69,000,000 miles

A Theatrical Mans Diamonds.

MIR. j. NJ. Hill, the manager of Dem
man Thompson, says the Pittsburg
Leader, purchased on Saturday splen-
did collection of diamonds at an eX-
pense Of over $4,000. These diamonds
are to be worn by the ladies of his COM
pany in the ballroom scene in ''Joshua
Whitcomb." These diamonds, which
now belong to Mr.. Hill bvright of pur-
chase, were formerly the property of
the late Duke of Brunswick, whose fame
as 4 connoissenr of gems and as a col
lectOr was unrivaled in Europe. When
the Duke died a few years ago at Gene
va, the city of his adoption, where he
preferred residing, he bequeathed his
entire collection Of precious stones,
valued at E3, 1000, 900 sterling, or about
5000, 600, to the city. The authori-
ties of Geneva, some time after ssthe
Dukes death, determined to dispose Of
the gems, and authorized their sale by
auction at Paris last year. A st. Louis
merchant and his agents have invested
100000 in purchasing some choice
stones of the ducal collection, and thus
the diamonds came to America, and on
Saturday were sold to Mr.. Hill for the
cash consideration of SIG, ,120. The
first gem is a Iady's lace pin, composed
of five solitaire diamonds, the aggregate
weight being fourteen karats. The
centre stone is a perfect gem, weighing
five and a half karats-a diamond of
the first water without flaw or blemish.
The side central stones weigh four kar-
ats, and the two end stones four and
hYe-eighths karats. They are equally
perfect, and guaranteed to be without
any flaw. The entire cost of the lace
pin to Mr.. Hill was $4,000. A mag
nifcent diamond cross weighing a little
over twenty karats, composed Of eleven
stones averaging nearly two karats, is q
splendid ornament These diamonds
are perfectly matched, of the purest
quality, and also guaranteed. The cen
tire stone weighs two and one-half kar-
ats. The cross, which looks like
blaze of fire, is attached to a gold neck
lace of antique Roman workmanship.
The cost of the cross was $4,000, or
$500 per karat. Two pairs of earrings
weighing six and One-haf karats each,
and one stone exactly balancing the
other The diamonds are guaranteed
perfect. The price paid was 81, ,531 for
one pair, and 81, ,545 for the other, the
slight difference in value being occa-
stoned by the difference in the mount
ing. The gem of the collection, how
ever, is the diamond worn by the Duke
of Brunswick as his signet ring. The
stone was left with the diamond mer-
chants of Now York with Instructions
to match it at any cost, but they were
unable to do so. 1t is pure white
stone, perfect in in every quality. 1t
weighs five and a half karats, and cost

DR.. Sadler, the Unitarian clergyman
who conducted the services at the grave
OF MIR. LeWes, made q memorial ad-
dress which touched to tears many Of
his listeners. ''To those who are pres
ent," he said sit is given to think Of the
gentleness and delicate WOmanly grace
and charm which were combined with
that breadth Of culture and universal
ity Of power which, as one has
expressed it, have made her known to
all the world. To those who are pres
ent is given TO know the difidenee and
set-distrust which, notwithstanding all
public fame, needed Individual sympa-
thy and encouragement to keep her
from feeling too keenly how far the re-
suits Of her labOrs fell below the stand
ard she had set before her. To those
who are present, too, it may be given
though there is 50 large a number to
whom it is not given-to understand
how q nsture may be profoundly deYout
and yet be unable TO accept q great
deal Of what is usually held as religious
belief No intellectual difficulties or
uncertainties, no sense Of mental inca
pacity to climb the heights Of infnitude
could take from her the piety Of the af-
fections or the beliefs which were the
mOther-tOngue Of her soul"

As a general rule farmers do not pro-
vide themselves with good gardens, at
least not rs good as they should. The
excuse for this neglect is generally the
same with all of them-they have not
the time to bestow on them, and yet it
may safely be asserted that an acre of
ground appropriated to garden, viii
be more profitable to the farmer than
any other ten acres on the farm. The
interest of the farm on the comforts of
his family, the good condition and
health Of his whole household, requires
such q garden on every farm in the
country, and it should be q garden, not
q mere excuse for one, a mere weedy
patch, 1t should be one, so managed
and arranged that every vegetable Of a
wholesome quality for human food,
should be raised in it in plentifulness
and at the earliest season. After a win
ter's diet on generally solid food, the
human constitution requires the deterg-
ing operations Of free vegetable diet.

Prince Bismarck, they whisper Is un-
happy. It is not, says the London En-
pire, that he can not drink his favOrite
brown beer as Of yOre. It is not that
the malignant neuralgia tWitches his
martyred Jaw. 1t is not that his favor
ite dog is mOping, or that his favorite
nuisance at Varzin, who stands in the
same relation to him as the Iiverton
butcher did to Lord PalmerstOn, is more
insolent than ever. MOI It is private
grief that vexes him, it is true, and a
small one at that; but these small pri-
vste griefs have q power Of annoyance
ludicrOusly disprOpOrtiOned to their out
ward significance. Under the pressure
Of a great calamity one can fold his to-
ga, decently exhibit fOrtitude, and fat
ter himself that he is playing the noble
Roman. But those petty trials worry
ike the stings Of Wasps, and put the pa
tient Of most heroic mold into q high
fever. It is one Of those which crosses
the temper and impairs the digestion Of
the awful chancellor. He cOvets an
English decOTatiOn-either the Bath or
the Garter; he is not particular as to
the shade of ribbon. If it be really
true that this trife disturbs the equan-
unity Of the great man (and we own we
doubt it,, the sooner he gets either dec
Grafton the better for the peace Of Eu-
rope. But precedent is OmnipOtent,
even in this instance, and he has to
learn that he viii have to bide his time.
Meanwhile he can console himself with
the thought that he can load his breast
any day he chooses with q neat and ap-
prOpriate selection from the four hum
dred and sixty-six orders he is entitled
to wear. Some of these came to him
er O6IciO; others poured in as custom
arv international compliments; one,
that Of the Red Eagle, he received for
the curious excuse that his daughter
Maria had made q capital marriage;
but in all this mass Of gewgaws there is
prominent for its mOdesty the simple
medallion, s'FOr rescue from danger"
To his credit be it spoken, the iron pol
itician is prOuder of his humble disc Of
metal than Of all the insignia laVished
upon him by kings. He earned it when
q cavalry officer with the Stargard land
Wehr squadron Of Uhlans, in the sum-
mer of 1912, by saving, at imminent
risk, his servant Hide brand from drown
ing in the lake at LiPpehne, in the Neu-
mark. This was the only decoration he
possessed for many years 1t has often,
among diplomatic grandees, excited
curiosity, and on one occasion, with
celebrated ambassador, even ridicule.
To this diplomatist's sarcastic prayer to
be told the meaning Of the medallion,
the grim chancellor, with q look which
went through his questiOner, replied:

The Figaro gives some amusing anec-
dOtes about the historyOf ''ROse Michel, y
q play so well known to American read
ers that the following translation can
not fail to interest them:
Tho role Of Pierre Michel was Great
ed by Charly. He was terrible in It
That poor man had several great sue
cesses during his career. Pierre Michel
was one Of them. Naturally enough
when N. Chabrillat resurreeted the
play at the Ambigu, he thought ut once
Of making Charly take his famous role
again. But where was he? Charly'did
not lead the most regular Of lives. The
director sought for him in vain.
One day Gil-Nazs came to the theatre
to secure two seats.
"Ah! you are the very man I want to
seer7 cried Chabrillat. ''You must
know where Charly is, for you were one
Of his friends"
81 should rather say so! Iha7e just
left him."
s'Where?n
"At the cemetery have just buried
him."
In order to replace him NJ. Chabrillat
engaged q rather obscure actor whom
he had remarked in poor Bertrand's
troupe while playing at the Theatre des
NatiOns-M. Mortimer.
But at the rehearsal the stage man
ager was in despair Mortimer looked
altogether too honest.
'lt is no use trying, he said to him.
''You might fix up forever, and blaeken
your eyebrows in vain; you viii never
be able to look like a real cut-thrOat.
Then they tried to educate him. They
took him 70 the criminal courts, to the
prisons, to all the worst resorts in Par
is; they organized pleasure parties for
his special benefit in the Carrieres
d dAmerique; they gave him wicked adj
vice; they introduced him to wicked
people; they introduced him to Felix
Pyat before the latter left for Brussels;
and the only result was to disgust him
to such a point that be now looks much
more honest than before.

| Lady Florence DiXy thus describes
an ostrich hunt in Patagonia:
"ChOO! chOO! Plstar' cry to the dog
who followed at my hOrse's heels, as 3
| fine male ostrich scudded away toward
| the hills we had Just left with the speed
of lightning. But the ostrich suddenly
/ doubles to the left, and commences 3
/ hurried descent. The cause is soon eI-
| planned, for in the direction toward
which he has been making q great
cloud of smoke rises menacingly in his
path, and, baked Of the refuge he had
hoped to find amid the hills, the great
/ bird is forced to alter his course, and
make swiftly for the plains below. But
swiftly as he flies along, so does Plata,
who finds a dOwn-hill race much more
suited to his splendid shoulders and
rare stride.
Foot by foot he lessons the distance
| that separates him from his prey, and
nearer and nearer to the fast-sin6ng,
fast-tiring bird. Away we 90 helter-
skelter down the hill. Plata is along
side the ostrich, and gathers himself
for a spring at the birds throat. He
has him, he has himr' I shout to Gre
gorio, who does not reply, but urges his
horse on with whip and spur. HAS he
got him, thought" Yes-nO-the
ostrich with a rapid twist has shot some
thirty yards ahead Of his enemy, and,
whirling round, makes for the hills
once more. And now begins the strug-
gle for victory, The ostrich has de-
cidedly the best Of it, for Plata. though
he struggles gamely, does not like the
uphill work, and at every stride loses
ground.
''Can he stay?'' I cry to GregOriO,
who smiles and mods his head. He is
right, the dog can stay; for hardly have
the words left my lips when, with tre-
mendOus effort, he puts on a squirt, and
races up alongside the ostrich. Once
more the bird points for the plains he
is beginning to falter, but he is great
and strong, and he is not betrayed yet
Unconscious of anything
but the exciting chase before me, l am
suddenly disagreeably reminded that
there is such q thing as caution, and the
necessity to look where you are going
to, for, putting his foot in an unusually
deep tuca-tuCa hole, my little horse
comes with q crash upon his head, and
turns completely over on his back
burying me beneath him in hopeless
muddle.
Fortunately, beyond a shaking, 1 am
unhurt, and remOunting, endeavOr to
reioin the now somewhat distant chase.
The ostrich, GregoriO, and the dog
have reached the plain, and as 1 gallop
quickly down the hill 1 can see that the
bird has begun doubling. This is q
sure sign of fatigue, and shows that the
Ostricbs strength is beginning to fail
him. Away across the plain the two
animals fly, while GregoriO and 1 press
eagerly in their wake. Suddenly the
stride of the bird grows slower, his
doubles become more frequent, showers
of feathers fly in every direction as
Plata seizes him by the tail, which comes
away in his mouth. In another mo-
ment the dog has him by the throat
and for a few minutes nothing can be
distinguished but a gray struggling
heap.
