Peacock Throne Of Delhi.

The finest and most costly piece Of
furniture ever conceived was the, ia
nous peacock throne Of Delhi,
Taverrier. a skillful French iemeler,
saw it,, and made a computation as to its
intrinsic value. He calmly estimated
that it's nominal worth, aside from its
claims in an artistic way, was $50, t)1O,-
600, 1t was but six feet high and four
feet Bnoad, hut it was composed of solid
gold:inlaid with rare oriental gems. Tt
received its name from the jeweled i'm
ages,0f peacock which adoredits canopv.
This canopy was also of gold sup
ported on twelve gold pillars. and
hung all round with a firing OF
pearls On each side of the chrome
stood. two chuttahs or umbrellas SYM
bolical of royalty. They were made
of crimson velvet, embroidered with
gold thread and pearls, and were
equipped with solid gold handles, and
diamonds. This throne was construct.
ed by Austin de Bordeaux, at the order
Of Emperor Shah Jehan, the.sa1ne en-
terprising monarch who had, construct
cd the Tai, the pearl mosque of Agra
and the other isost remarkable monu-
ments of architecture in mless parts.
The peacock throne was carried away
the Persian Nadir Shah, while the lew
eleM ceiling was melted down by the
Mahrattas at de time of their invasion
IN 1859. This ceiling wss; valued at
about $3.50, eco.

At the Office, preparations for She new

one word had been said to me of pro-

persuading the servant that I wanted
rest, and would let myself out when l
was ready, I managnd to conceal myself
in a closet in the hall, where 1 waited
four nsortal hours. Alight came through
the hall, a chair was drawn upstos the
telephone, and a.e1ear voice, wonder
fully like Agnes, called; S'Please' con
meet with Grutfiand & Col"
Waiting only long enough to let him
actually begin conversation i'll his usual
style, I rushed out, and, catching the

Mr.. Raphael. The little impl This
was his revenge for his we'll deserved
snubs. I have no doubt he had heard
every word of my conversation With
Agnes.
OF course the Peytons' were distressed
and ~apologetic, and Agnes was per-
suaded not to hurry away, and old Grutf
relented and | got the promotion in due
time, but / could endure the sight

Mrs. Grant the Family Financier

Letter from Ga1ena: Gen. Grant
was never q good hand to look
after money matters. He used to
say, my wife is the fmancisr of the
family" and this was literally true, as
vas demonstrated by the admirable
II in which she managed affairs
when the generals salary in his fathers
leather store at Galena was only $40 a
month. Brought up a refined lady and
accustomed to all the commoner-lu xur-
les Of life, she found herself, on her ar
rival here from st. Louis, in circum-
stances that would have terrified most
women reared under similar circum-
stances. With a devotion which char
aeterizes the true wife and mother, she
set herself to work, and, soon had a
model little home, which was to her and
her family an earthly paradise. Her
management when Ulysses entered the
army ,penniless (being compelled even to
borrow the money with which to,hRy an
onttit), was characterized by the same
shrewdness and tact, and as her husband
advanced step by step, she so managed
his financial affairs as to fit the upward
gradations in life he was rapidly reach
ing. 4 few months ago, when Gen.
Grant Last visited his Galena home, he
said in my presence: My wife runs our
New York house, and no other woman
IN the universe could do it better than
she. give her 81, 900 q month and ask
no questions. I do not live in anything
like princely style, but there are but
few men who are compelled to keep up
the appearances that circumstances
have forced upon me of late years, that
have moreto be proud of than myself,
and leave it all to my wife who runs our
household affairs herself, keeping the
strictest account of expenses and super
intending every department of the fami-
" establishment"

Something About the Magnitude Of on,
Petroleum Product.

Something About the Magnitude Of Our
Petroleum Product.
There are 90, 900 producing oil wells
III Pennsylvania, yielding at present
10000 barrels of oil a day. It requires
5000 miles Of pipe line and 1000 iron
tanks Of an average capacity of %, 900
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly $4,000 barrels of oil stored in
the region in tanks. This oil would
make . lake more than one mile
square and 10 feet deep.
The money actually invested in
petroleum production since 1860 is es.
timatedto be more than $425, DOC, 900,
Of which 5000, 900, 900 was capital from
New York city. Since 1880 more than
l2,OO0, 900 has been used in building
iron tanks, and nearly as much in nine
lines, all by one corporation. The
tanks cost on an average $4,000 each.
A 35 900 barrel tank is 80 feet in di-
ameter and % feet high. There is a
lateral pressure of 5000 pounds on each
square inch of a tank of this size when
full of oil. There are 100 tons of iron
used in constructing one.
The speculative transactions in petro-
leum represent more than $500 900, 900
annually. The lowest price crude
petroleum ever brought was ten cents
a barrel, in 1861 In 1859, when there
was only one we'll in existence, Colonel
brakes Pioneer at Titusville the price
was $24 a barrel. Besides the 5000
miles ofpipe line in use in the oil regions,
there are in operation 1.2OO miles of
trunk pipe line, connecting with C1eve-
land, Pittsburg, Buffalo andNew York;
and lines building to Philadelphia and
Baltimore. In the line between Olean
and New York 10000 barrels of oil
are transported daily. These lines
are all the property of the
Standard oil company, except one
between Bradford and Williamsport,
Pa. The Standard employees 100, 900
men. The product of its ~reineries re-
quires the making of $4,000 oak barrels
of 40 gallons, each and 100, 900 tin cans
holding five gallons each, every day.
The first American petroleum y ex-
ported wa in 1862. Charles Lockart
OF Pittsburg sent nearly GOO, 600 gallons
to Europe in that year and sold it for
$4,000 less than the cost of Transport
.ation. In 1883 nearly 400, 900; 900 gal
Ions We're exported, for which $50, OOO,-
600 were returned to this country.

Grayton was too fnll of thought to

Sarah Bernharat, spendthrift.

From Lucy Harper's Letter.
[ really think that this, wonderful
woman has a screw loose somewhere in
hes. mental organization. She is not
mad, nor wen cracked, but she is what
the French call "toquee," a convenient
word for which the English language
affords no equivalent. Herrecklessness
in money matters is something phenom-
email. When she was about to start for
America, she wrote to a brilliant French
author:
"All my expenses and those Of my
maid, including carriage hire, are to be
paid by the manager. Do you think 1
can get along with 81, 900 per month as
pocket money?' Her friend wrote back
In nswer Since you ask me the ques-
ton, | do not think that you can. She
will give her steward 800 at a time.
Two days later he will come to her for
money. 'sWhy. did I not give you
some the other day?" she will say,
vaguely. sAll gone. is it," Her cook
never knows how many people are to
be present at breakfast or at dinner, for
Sarah thinks nothing OF inviting in an
extra dozen OF SO Of guests. She
will put on q pair of new boots, go out
to walk, get caught in Il shower, and
toss her d%esecrated bottines as a present
to her maid as soon as she pulls them
off. She never pays a bill without le-
gal pressure, is lavishly generous to her
servants and to the poor, has no idea of
order or punctuality, and is as eccen-
trio in private life as she is great upon
the stage. She has made and sauan-
dered three fortunes, is always dying and
never dies, is as fragile as q reed, yet
tires out the strongest men in her troupe
when she goes upon a professional tour.
This latter popularity is owing to her
exceptional power Of sleeping whenever
she chooses She always travels
in a sleeping car, and, once ~ensconced
therein, she will draw down the blinds,
and betake herself toslu,nber. Arrived
at her destination, she will walk upon
the stage on which she has never set her
foot before, and the esate and entrances
of which are totally unknown to her,
and will go through her part with as
much spirit and b~rilliancy as though
she had acted there for half her life.
All her friends adore her and she is the
idol of every dog Oh cat belonging to
the theaters of France. In many res-
poets "a most sweet woman" and for
the rest. 30 the pity otit--the pity Of
