A $50, 900 RUBY-A short time ago a
London firm submitted to Her Majesty
ruby which is accredited with being
one of the finest specimens in existence
and known to be the finest in England,
not even excepting the crown jewels.
lis history has not accompanied it to
Europe, but as the experienced are well
aware that even the famous mines of
Baroda never yield gems of such size
aud splendor, they conclude that this
must have been in the possession of one
of the old Indian families. The owners
reason for parting with it remains a
mystery. as Indians are usually very
10th to allow such treasures to go out of
their possession, and when they do
chance to let them enter the market,
purchasers are usually to be met with in
their own country. The Queen is re-
ported to have been much impressed
by The beauty of this ruby. Its price of

supposed to pause at The stone is set
as a medallion and encircled by ten large
diamonds.-London Queen.

AN ANCIENT LIBRARY.

It is now more than thirty years
ago, says member of the Society of
Biblical Archaeology in Knowledge,
since Sir Heny Layard, passing
through one of the doorways of the
partially explored palace in the mound
of Kouyunjik, guarded by sculptued
fish gods, stood for the first time in
the double chambers containing a
large portion of the remains Of the
immense library collected by Assrr-
bannipal, King of Nineveh. The
floors, to depth of foot or more,
We're covered with thousands of tablets,
all engraved with cuneiform writing;
many in perfect condition, but the
majority broken into several frag-
ments, frequently widely separated
and portions apparently sometimes
missing altogether. These tablets
were of various sizes, ranging from
one inch square to about nine by six
inches, by far the larger portion alike
in shape, something similar to pin
cushion, or dog biscuit, but occasion
ally resembling a cylinder or small
barrel The lesser ones contained,
perhaps, only two or three lines of
characters; the larger sometimes
nearly one hundred. From the man
ner IN which they were heaped to-
gether and broken, and the fact that
many have been found buried in
neighboring parts of The debris, it is
evident that these chambers We're not
the original depository of the tablets,
but that the library must have been
placed in some upper story of the
editice of which they formed part
Then, upon the destruction of the
building, they were precipitated into
the position in which the explorer
found them.
Since that time, with but slight in
termissions, this treasure-house of q
forgotten past has been turned over
again and again, notably in the ex-
petitions of the late Mr.. George Smith,
and still the supply of its cuneiform
literature is not exhausted. Until last
year this discovery remained unique;
but the perseverance of the British
Museum authorities and the patient
labor of Mr.. Rassam were then re-
warded by the elimination of what is
apparently the library chamber of the
temple or palace at Sippara, with all
its 10000 tablets, resting undistmbed
arranged in their positions on the
shelves, just as placed in order by the
librarian twenty-five centuries ago.
The contents of the library, so far as
they have yet been deciphered, relate
to commercial transactions.

How the human system ever recovers
from the bad effects of the nauseous medi-
cines often literally poured into it for the
suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver COM
plaint, constipation, rheumatism and other
ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done
by bad medicines is scarcely less than that
caused by disease. If they who are weak,
bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheu-
matte would oftener be guided by the ex-
perience of invalids who haze thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
would in every instance obtain the speedi-
est aid deriyabie from rational medication.
This medicine is a searching and at the
same time thoroughly safe remedy de-
rived from vegetable sources, and possess
ing, in consequence of its basis of pure
spirits, properties as medicinal stimulant
not to be found in the fiery local bitters and
stimulants often resorted to by the debili-
tated, dyspeptic and languid.

Early they came. yet they were come too
late.
The tomb was empty; in the misty dawn
Angels sat watching, but the Lord was gone.
Beyond earth's clouded daybreak far was
He
Beyond the need of their sad ministry.
Regretful stood the three, with doubtful
breast;
Their gifts UNDECIDED and in vain their quest.
The spices-were they wasted? Legend saith
That, flung abroad on Aprirs gentle breath,
They course the earth, and evermore again
In springs sweet odors they come back to

And mighty Joy expelled their hearts brief

Yet happier that morning, happier yet,

Whose feet impatient all too soon had come;
Who ventured chill disfavor at the feast,

Broke her rare vase, its fragrant wealth out

HER HISTORY.
Tho Story of q Woman's Life Read From
Some Crupbled Keepsakes.

The Story of q woman's Life Read From
Some Crupbled Keepsakes.
A woman from her earliest conscious
ness inclines to "Reminiscences. As she
grows up she stamps each notable
adventure and each pleasant friendship
upon her mind by some token. Our
dime museums, with their meagcr col
lection of odds and bits, would pale
into nothingness when compared with
the bottom drawer of girls bureau.
This she generally devotes to her keep
sakes. At five she begins storing il
with horse-chestnuts and broken bits
of colored pencils given her by dear
friends. Some of these are the mysteries
of the secrets which are the life of
childhood's freemasonry. BY ten she
has gold-piece, generally bestowed
by bachelor uncle, and perhaps some
tokens from friends that are dead.
There are pressed four-leaved clovers,
pin-cushions with geological tendencies,
gray-fannel rabbits and such, few
carefully-preserved valentines, some
bottles that once held perfumery and
now present only fadingrecollection
to the nostrils. At seventeen she has
some faded violets, some locks of hair,
few scraps of dried orange-peel,
collection ofdancing programmes, and.
carefully tucked in the furthermost
corner, a bundle of notes tied with a
blue ribbon. As the years pass still the
treasures increase. BY and by the
wedding slippers are laid away in the
drawer which holds the valentines,
and still, as the years pass, comes
pair of the wee'st shoes Kicked out at
heel, and silken curl, which shows
silvery gold in the light. After this
the keepsakes are fewer, and are oftener
the souvenirs of sad days than of glad
ones. Finally, after long time, some
one lays away in the drawer thumbed
red testament, with lock of gray hair
and thread-thin wedding ring. Then
the drawer is locked. Boston Globe.

A ROYAL MILDLY.
Short History of the Two Noble Houses OF
Which He Is Scion.

Short History of the Two Noble Houses of
Which He Is Scion.
The grandson of the Emperor of
Brazil was recently visiting New Or
leans and received royal honors from
thepeople of the Crescent City. While
the young man is only midshipman
in rank, he is scion of two of the old
est reigning houses in the world. The
house Of Braganza, above four hundred
years old in its own name, is descended
from the old Portuguese Kings. and
through them from one of the heroic
soldiers of the middle ages, that Alton
so who built up the little kingdom by
sixty years of stout battle. and who
captured Lisbon from the Moslems in
the year 1147. The Brazilian branch
of the family, in consequence of inter-
marriage, is also descended from ST.
Louis, and through him from
Hugo Capet, ancestor of thirty
two French Kings, born more
than half way back to Christ. 1t
Is also descended from the mighty
house of Hapsburg, and indeed indi-
rectly from all the royalty of the Old
World. The career of the Brazilian
Braganzas has been one of honor and
progress. Rulers over 8, 200, 900 square
miles of territory, that is about 200, 900
more than the United States, if we ex-
clude Alaska, they have ever been
found in the advance of civilization.
The Emperor drew up with his own
hand the law whereby no slave can be
born in Brazil; the recent amendments
to the statutes on the subject-of slavery
will unquestionably uproot the whole
slave system by the end of this century.
The ruling house is in high favor with
the people, and this only American
monarchy Is not in the slightest danger
Of becoming republic. unless in the
distant future some unworthy descend
ant of Kings should obtain the scepter
and provoke revolution, The heiress
to the throne is highly educated lady,
and will continue the liberal traditions
of her house. Chicago Inter Ocean.
