The Jewels in European Crowns.

The crown Of England is believed to-
be the finest piece Of regalia in the
world. The lower part of the band is
a row Of 129 pearls, the upper part Of
112; between them, in front, is large
sapphire; behind is smaller sapphire,
with SIX others and eight emeralds. Be-
tween the two great sapphires are orna-
ments containing 2S6 diamonds. Above.
the band are eight sapphires, sur
mounted by eight diamonds and eight
festoons, containing 100 diamonds. In
the front Of the crown is the ruby Civ
en- to the Black Prince by Pedro,
King of CASTLE. This is set in q Maltese
cross and forming the cross are seventy
five large diamonds Three other
crosses are round the upper part of the
crown, containing altoe ether 1856 dia-
nonds. Between the four crosses are
four ornaments with four rubies in their
centers, and containing respectively
eighty four, eighty-six, eighty five and
eighty seven diamonds. From the
Maltese crosses rise four arches COM
posed of oak leaves and acorns, the
leaves containing 728 diamonds. The
thirty two acorns are each OF q single
pearl, and are set in cups made Of fifty
four diamonds. Above the arches stands
the mound, containing 54S diamonds,
The value of the whole is variously es-
timated, but is commonly believed to be
about 81, 500, 900.

The,Best Patrons Of Hotels.

Brooklyn Eagle: The manager of a.
large hotel in London is making an in
neutrality-suspicious.. 1t is designed to
ascertain which nationality are the best
customers at hotel. Having turn
for statistics he. went into the matter
very carefully, the'results of his inquir-
les being that the En- glishmen stood at
the top of the list, as spending most
money. Next came the German, then
came the. Erenchman and finally the
American. This last is marvel, the
more so that many wealthy Americans
who go across the, ocean do not stint
themselves. But.what runs up mans
bill in q hotel is not what he eats, but
what he drinks, and; the average Amer
lean rarely drinks anything but water at
his. meal. AT home he makes up for
this to some extent by taking "a smile"
here and al ''eye-opener" there. just
before the dinner hour at any big Amer
lean hotel the bar isdenselv crowded
with men drinking seductive spirituous
mixtures, which must be much more
deleterious than fairallowance ofgood
wine. Probably this habit is observed
in England, and as what the guest takes
at the bar is thereupon paid for and does
not appear in the bill, the Americans
may be better customers than they ap-
pear to the discontinued eye Of hotel
manager.

The Evil ofDebt.

A writer in the Agricultural Gazette,
of London, says that the difficulty and
misery all round, arising out Of keeping
money in your hands, which IS not
yours, cannot be exaggerated. To
make all shop-Aeepers. money-]enders,
too, is always folly; often it is immoral
ity land more often then yea imagine,
it, is cruelty. Wealthy families, to
whom in comparison with Others life is
little but pastime, who take their
pleasure and their holiday while bills
remain unpaid, should consider some
times the trouble and distress which
with light tn oughtlessness their
neglect has left behindl them. Paltry
matters as they think them, creating
only petty irritation here, may there be
creating sleepless anxiety and grief,
and even ruin. "Riches make them
selves wings" There is but one excep-
tion to this truth. That portion of
your means which has been used to pay
just debt is alona., so far as you are
concerned, absolutely safe. Pay your
debts then, promptly. Not to do it
is dishonesty; and even to delay it is TO
palter with dishonesty.

The embers burn low on the hearth; @

With it's yearning my very heart aches;

Old doubts my spirit they own.

Pretty Philadelphia Girls
letter in Louisville: Courier.

L
Journal
The beautiful Philadelphia women,
from four to five o'clock each afternoon,
can b. seen in vast numbers on the
popular thoroughfare- Chestnut street.
The complexion of the women here-I
speak of those under thirty--is as soft,
clear and roseate as child's. An in
telligent physician here, conversing
with me on the subject, said the reason
that Philadelphia women were hand
somer than the women of other cities
was from the fact that the lid less lac.
ing.
Lacing, he said congresses the liver,
so that its functions are deranged an d
the bile, instead of legitimately aiding
digestion as it should, is thrown into
the venous circulation, producing the
sallow complexion so common among
our American women. The female
gymnasts and equestriennes are noted
for their fine, clear complexion, which
is attributable to the fact that their
profession precludes lacing. Instead
of curing sallowness by removing the
cause, viz, skin lifting corsets, they
use sugar of lead cosmetics, an ingre-
dent is nearly every face powder, and
in few years the skin has been per-
manently converted to q color resemb-
ling sole leather.
Again, the women here do more walk
ing than they do in almost any other
city on the continent. In this they re-
semble the English women, who are
noted the world over for their beautiful
comp EXON. Not only this, but the
exercise of walking rounds the form
and we justly claim that for contour Of
face, complexion and figure OUR women
are unexcelled.

with sigh, as he sought for his UNI
brella in the stand. It took him some
time to find it.
S sBless the umbrella!" he cried at
length, fumbling among the heap. "Is
that it? No! Nor this. Why, what's
this Well I am dashed!"
Only the word which he used was a
stronger one, and one which seldom,
even in moments of irritability, escaped
him. But now, at the sight OF Q sun

Then he stood in the hall for some

This done, he went rather slowly and
thoug htfully up to the drawing room,

to face you. Tom put me in the Scouts
Hole, as he called it."

said he harshly.
"No, sir; did. Tom knew nothing
of my coming. He was afraid for me
not for himself"
Odd he tell you what I was angry
about?"
"After you were gomez"
"Of counsel" snapped M. Bulstead,
poking the fire vigorously.
II think" said Maggie timidly, for
now it was Toms favor was at stake,
che said it was about bills. He had
nothing to do with my journey to OK

"And nice, ladylike thing you con-

you seem inclined to mix yourself up
with his affairs, you will write to him
at once and tell him to come up to
town tomorrow and call here. When
you are both together I'll tell you what
think of it. A pretty pair Of fools !"
And Mr.. Bulstead fumed his way out
of the room with much outward heat
and an angry expression of circumference.
But the butler, who watched his exit
with awe, and opined that there had
been stormy weather upstairs, was
amazed to hear him mutter with an au-
dible chuckle as he reached the darkest
angle of the staircase, "Good lad Good
lad!"
Tom, of course, came up as fast as
the Great Western would bring him !;
and when they were both together Mr..
Bulstead told the cu1prits what he
thought it. No happier triosat down

gentleman. "For really paying piece
