English Crown Jewels.

The British crown IS not the property Of
Queen Victoria, but of the nation. All
the crown Jewels are kept in the Tower OF
London. The room in which they are
kept is a ground-Aoor apartment, with
Sonber stone walls eight feet in thickness.
1t is small, and in the center stands huge
iron-barred cage, oblong in shape and ris-
ing nearly 10 the ceiling. Within this
cage Is a stand, terraced-topped and COW
cred with velvet, which was at one time
white. At the extreme top is the crown
made Tor Victoria Below it, on one side,
is the crown OF the Prince of Wales, and
on the other that of the last of the Stuarts,
the four Georges and William ". One
crown had served very we'll for all these
men, but when, in 1887, the royal headcear
had TO he put on wonlan's head, it was,
of course, much too large, and new one
had to be made. Besides the crowns, there
are in the collection the royal wand. a
solid gold stick three feet seven inches in
length, the royal communion service, three
large fonts, al of solid gold, out of which
the royal children are baptized, besides
numerous other valuable presents that
have, in times past, been presented to the
state by friendly sovereigns. The entire
collection is valued at Sl5,000,o00 much
of which sum is represented in the rare
stones that grace The crowns and scepter,
the famous Koh-i-noor, the second largest
diamond in the world being one of them.

THE SOLAR CoRoNA.-The most I'M
pressive feature of total eclipse of the
sun is the corona, the aureole Of light, at
other times invisible, which surrounds the
hidden disc and sends out rays far into
space. DR.. ". Higgins, who has succeed
ed in photographing the corona without
the aid of an eclipse, remarks that it is
variously explained as coming from case
Gus solar atmosphere, from matter elected
by the sun, from ring of meteoric matter,
from comets tails, and from meteor streams
travelling at distance from the sun. but

that the phenomenon is a complex one, in
the production of which each Of the sug-
gested causes may play some part. A very
thin gaseous atmosphere probably sur
rounds the solar globe, but the coronal
light must be reflected from solid particles
in that atmosphere. The existence Of one
particle in cubic mile would account for
the corona.

GorHEBs II ALFALFA-A correspond
ent from Byron says that along the edge Of
the tules the finest crop Of alfalfa can he
raised. Some farmers have even succeeded
in getting a good showing on high ground
in that neighhorhood But they all have
to contend with gophers. No matter how
promising stand Of alfalfa may be on the
start, the gophers destroy it as soon az the
roots grow large enough to be a tempta-
ton. Owing to this fact we understand
that number OF farmers have become dis
Outraged. Now, in our opinion, there is
no use in getting discouraged, or of sur
rendering to the gophers. Gophers can be
exterminated without money and without
price. The remedy is cats. 4 few cats
si!l keep quite patch of land free from
gophers, and a few dozen will drive gophers
from a large field. Cats are an indispensi-
bic luxury to the farmer and ii will cost
him nothing to gather together and keep
a hundred or two. We can guarantee the
farmer can raise alfalfa and be freed from
gophers if he will get cats enough An

was, like REPRESENTATIVE Cabbage. the
unrelenting Zoe of the owl. He bother
ed not with statutory amendments. He
pondered, and as he pondered, his
chickens diminished and the owls in

came to him. He took down his scythe
and all one long summer afternoon h.
played a symnhony upon it with an old
fashioned blue milestone. When he
finished, it was of razor-edge keenne S.
Placing ladder against the chicken
house, he nailed the scytbe h gh aloft,
its keen edg. skyward, a most inviting
resting p ace. The old gentleman had
calculated rightly. and half hatful of
owls toes were found next morning
under the scythe. This continued for
several days. fresh crop rewarding
:he early riser each morning. After a
while some owl, wiser than the rest,
must have discovered the practical joke.
At any rate, their visits cea Led, though

Perfumes Out Of Style.

Perfumers and pharmacists are ac-
lively engaged in the production OF
new perfumes. Hardly a day passes
but what some new article of the kind
is put on the market. As they appear,
names are given them which are as
preposterous as they are amusing. One
of the most recent manufactures OF
this class is called "Sea Spray" 1t
may be perfect imitation Of the odor
Of the white caps, or it may not; but If
it is, there is no doubt that a
company organized to extract berga-
mot from the waters of the bay would
pay a handsome dividend. In spite OF
the continued manufactures, delicate
perfumes, be it recorded, are much
less regarded as an essential to the toi-
let to-day than for many years past. In
fact they are falling into disrepute.
Lavender and Florida water and bay
rum are extensively used at the bath.
but beyond that all aromatics are look
ed upon with disfavor generally.
