planned the whole affair, the others
being her dupes and instruments. When
her sentence was read to her she went
into commissions. She was to be whipped
and branded on both shoulders with
the word "voleuse"-thief. She was
not the person to submit quietly to an
inhiction like this. She screamed and
struggled violently when the hot iron
was applied TO her tender flesh. Never
did the shoulders of Yalois suffer as
did those of this degenerate " orphan,
descended from Henry II. of Valois,
king of France" Amid her cries and
imprecations the painful sentence was
executed, and thus branded she was
thrown into coach and driven to the
Salpetriere, a prison for the lowest
women.
Through the connivance of outside
parties she effected her escape, and
joined her husband in England. They
still had some of the diamonds in their
possession, and these they continued to
sell as their exiRencies required. Her
day for doing harm was not yet over,
and she employed her pen in writing an
account of the affair of the diamond
necklace. Her narrative, which was as
false as herself, was scattered far and
wide; and her terrible ISLANDERS against
the queen, strange to say, found believ-
ers. The last glimpse we catch of this
audacious creature is when she Jumps
from window in London to avoid the
creditors who are pursuing her. So
badly was she injured by her flight that
she died in few weeks, aged thirty
four years.
"The evil men do lives after them, says
the bard-a saying verified in the case
of the countess. The SANDERS she had
raised against the queen, and the dubious
position in which she had placed her with
regard to the cardinal, were shadows
which always darkened the pathway of
Marie Antoinette. There were those
who persisted in believing her as guilty
as they wished her, and her enemies
were only too glad to have subject Of
reproach like this.
Diamonds have often worked woe,
but never did they work such woe as
this diamond necklace accomplished.
Where are they flashing now? Who
can tell? The king who ordered them
died most miserably the woman for
whom they were ordered, the base Du-
barry, was carried shrieking to the gull
lotine; the lovely queen whose name
was used in the plot, bowed with heavy
sorrows, shared the fate of Dubarry,
and the creature who originated the
whole matter died tragic death, her
white shoulders bearing the sign and
seal of her infamy. Truly, these gems
of history are also the gems of tragedy.

A Surgical Arm.

A Philadelphia surgeon has invented
remarkable machine for the perform
ance of surgical operations. The Phil
adelphia Record thus describes it 1t
consisted Of an upright arm standard
about four feet high and a couple of
inches i'll diameter, with foot treadle
and driving wheel at the base. At the
top was fastened what may be described
as flexible arm, being long iron bar,
with the shoulder, elbow and wrist
made flexible by means of an ingenious
arrangement of wheels, enabling every
section OF it DO be moved in any direc-
tion at will. Into the wrist part a hand
piece was screwed, and at the end of
this small circular saw. An endless
cord, attached to the driving wheel, ran
up the standard and along the arm,
and as the wheel was revolved by the
movement of the treadle the circular
saw went into motion until it is flying
around at the rate of Is, 900 revolutions
per minute. Instruments at the wrist
can be inserted or removed in mo-
ment. Put in circular saws from half
an inch to four inches in diameter and
the engine is ready for any of the major
operations upon the bone. Here is Ia
reclprocating saw which cuts both ways,
moving only three-fourths of an inch
and making fifteen cuts at each move
ment, or 80, 900 both ways. This will
cut the bone instantaneously as smoothly
as if done with plane, and by it resec-
tions of every bone in the body can be
made. Fixa screwattaehment to the ham
die of the saw, which is fastened into
the bone to be cut, holding it firmly to
the frame of the saw, and with this
the thigh bone can be resected as high
up as the upper third, and the end cut
off at any angle with the precision of
mathematics. Substitute drill, and
with the rapidity of lightning the oper-
ating surgeon can have hole of any
size up to quarter of an inch in any
bone lying loose in the tissues, and
where a stone in the bladder can be
reached within four inches a diamond
drill may be used to puneture the stone
with numerous holes, which destroy its
cohesive powers and enable it to be
broken with impunity by the fingers or
with weak forceps. Does it become
necessary in an operation to shave down
bone, all that is necessary is to attach
one of these burrs, and an operation
which would take hours to perform
with chisel and mallet is accomplished
in few moments

Feasting in Fiji.

The taro is of bluish-gray color, and
both in appearance and consistency re-
sembles mot.led soap. AS it's name sug-
gests (Arum eScetlent,n) its leaves are
like those of our own arum greatly
magni6ed, while those of the yam are
like Il very rich convolvulus, as is, also,
its habit of growth. A great many vari-
cites are cultivated, including one the
root of which is throughout of vivid
mauve. The sweet potato is also in
common use, and bread-fruit and ba-
nanas are abundant. The favorite
method of preparing the latter is to
wrap them up in large leaf and bury
them till they ferment. The stencil
when the leaf is dug up is simply in
tolerable to the uneducated nose OF the
foreigner, but the Fijian inhales it with
delight, therein scenting the mandrai
(bread) and pud6ings in which his
Rcrl delights. These puddings are
sometimes made on gigantic
scale on the occasion of any great
gathering of the tribes. We were told
of enc that measured twenty feet in cir
cumference, and on the same occasion
there was a dish of green leaves pre-
pared ten feet long by five wide, whereon
were piled turtles and pigs, roasted
whole; also a wall of cooked fish five
feet high and twenty feet long. Ger
tainly the masses of food accumulated
on these great days beat everything We
have heard of ancient Scottish funeral
feasts. Mr.. Calvert describes one festi
val at which he was present where there
were fifteen tons of sweet pudding,
seventy turtles, fifty tons of cooked
yams and taro besides two hundred
tons which were judiciously reserved)
and as much yangona-root as would have
filed five carts. The mode of laying
the table on these occasions il

heaps; layer of cocoanut as foun.
dalton, then baked yams and taro
next the gigantic puddings on green
banana leaves, the whole surrounded
by pigs and turtles. These are roasted
whole in huge ovens, or rather pits in
the ground, perhaps ten feet deep and
twenty in diameter, which are first
lined with firewood, on which is laid 8
layer of stones. When these are heated
the animals to be roasted are laid on
them, with several hot stones inside to
secure cooking throughout; then comes
covering of leaves and earth, and the
baking process completes itself. When
all is ready certain men are told of,
who carefully apportion this mass OF
food among the representatives of the
various tribes present, these sub-diyid-
ing among themselves, and great is the
need for punctilious observance of all
ceremonies and points of etiquette, as
the smallest breach thereof would in

DECLTVITY OF RIVE RS.

A very slight declivity suffices to give

the waters of the Himalaya mountains,
the Hottest in the world, is at $50 miles
from its mouth only 800 feet above
the level of the sea, and to fall these 800
feet in the long course the water requires

saint VaIemttsse's Day.

st. Valentines Day has been oh.
served since time immemorable.
Some authorities claim that it was
instituted in commemorati0n of St.
Valentines death, A. D. 270. St.
Valentine was noted for his charita-
BILE and loving disposition, hence it
was well to give him the honor; but
others claim that traces Of this day
can be found among the Northern
pagans, which ante.dates the FIRST
theory. At any rate, its origin is
rather obscure, but not so its mean
ing. In Olden days it was the custom
for lovers. friends and young people
in general, to exchange love.tokens.
Sometimes these tokens were shaped
into grOtesque devices, calculated to
excite mirth as we'll as love. In our
days this custom has become some
what corrupted. Love tokens are
still sent.in the shape Of valentines,
but instead of the grotesque devices,
rough, coarse, cartoons are sent, cal.
culated to hurt and wound a persons
feelings. We would protest against
this custom. If you are ashamed or
afraid to tell persons their or her
faults or eccentricities to their faces,
don't adopt such cowardly,low way
of doing it, as sending them a comic
valentine. If you cannot love or like
a person,you can at least respect their
feelings.
