When he arrives at some well-knOWn

hundreds of the black natives, each
member of the party having in charge

party of monkeys, or group of wild

use tame elephants as decoys, taking
them to the interior, allowing them to
mingle for time with their live breth-
ren, and inducing them to lead the I'M
tanned beasts into a kraal or fenced
Enclosure, where they are quickly
chained and brought into submission
to the will of man. By strict disci-
pine, and from association with the

COLLECTION OF Crowns The next
room Ito the throne room of the kremiin
palace contains probably the finest col
lection of jewels in the world, even more
valuable than those of the holy synod,
but not so rare and curious. Here is an
assemblage of crowns, most of them
coming from the palaces where the
thrones were stolen, and some time worn
by royal heads. The crowns of Poland,
Kazan, Georgia, Astrakhan, Persia and
others are more splendid, being covered
with some of the largest and most prec-
ious stones ever known-''crowns upon
crowns, oceans of pearls, rivers of diam
onds," as one writer expressed it. Be-
yond them are the ancient crowns of the
ears, the double one for Peter the Great
and his half witted brother being the
most curious, and it sits before double
throne, with place behind the drapery
where their sister Sophia used to sit and
prompt them what to do and say on oc-
casions of ceremony.
The costliest crown in the entire col
lection was made By the order of Peter
the Great for the Swedish peasant girl
who became his wife and the Empress
Catherine I, the number of diamonds in
it being 1888. all Of them large, fawleFs
stones Of the first water, with the largest
and finest ruby in the world as a crest.
The crown of Ivan the Terrible has some
of the rarest stones, very large and per-

purity and value La this room is large
casket of solid gold, which contains the
code of the Gar Alexis.-W. E. Curtis

Daniel Webster's Financiering.

One of the interesting things said to
be contained in the collection of auto
graphs left by the late W. W. Cor
coran is note of Rufus Choate's in
dorsed by Daniel Webster. Mr.. Choate
wanted $500 and applied to Webster
for it. Webster said: NO, l haven't
that amount, but | will get it for you,
Choate." Choate having expressed
his pleasure at such a proposition,
Webster said, Draw your note; I'll
sign it and bring you the money"
Then, while Choate was making out
the note. new idea seemed to occur
to Webster, and he said. while you
are about it, Choate, make it thou
sand. Ill take the other five hundred
myself" SO the note was drawn for
$1,000. Webster took his cane, and,
walking to Corcoran & Riggs bank
ing house, entered and saluted Mr.
Corcoran. Good morning, Mr. Sec
rotary" Mr. Corcorau responded;
"Nhat can do for you this morning?"
"A little favor for my friend Choate, 4"
said Webster. He then produced the
note, and Mr.. Corcoran readily agreed
TO cash it. Webster had the gold laid
out in two equal parts, and, putting
the parts into separate pockets, re-
turned to Mr.. Choate to divide the
proceeds of this successful financial
operation WASHINGTON Star.

HAIR SPRING OF A WATCH.-The max
ing of the hair spring is really the most
delicate operation about the manufacture
Of the watch. The wire is received in
spools, and is nothing more than a
round thread. This is run between
hardened steel rollers and fattened, and,
Being wound on the roll, is then drawn
between diamond dies, which give the
required thickness and width. The
spring must be of exactly the same width
and thickness, and before being used is
tested on a register which marks down
to one two hundred and fifty thousandths
of an inch.
To show to what fiueness this meas
ures, hair placed between the jaws
marked 1902, and moved forward half an
| inch registered 1862.
OF course, every one knows that q
| hair varies in thickness, bnt that it
should be so exactly measured is a sur

hair spring of watch cannot vary even
| so much as the variance in a hair from
the human head, the delicacy of the
| operation will be emphasized in the i'm

A BURsTED PLANETS SLIvERs.
tween the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, at
distance Of about 250,OO0,000 miles
from the sun, there revolves some 265
little bodies whose diameters vary from
8 or 10 miles TO 900. Whether they are,
as Professor Young once described
them, parts "of planet spoiled in the
making" or not is unknown, and per-
haps may never be solved. But certain
it is that there are almost numberless
little celestial bodies of this character,
whose revolutions around the sun are
performed as unerringly as those of the

DWELLING HOUSES IN JApAN.-Japan

DWELLING HOUSES IN JAPAN.-Japan-
csc houses are toys in size and toys in
construction, resting on corner posts set
on large rocks, that they may give and
sway with earthquakes, aud held in
place and made stable by the heavy roofs
of mud and tiles. The only way of
stemming a fire is to tear down the
houses in advance of the flames, and it
is done as easily as child knocks over a
house of blocks or cards. A rope is fast
ened to one of the upright corner posts,
the crowd gives one pull, and there is a
crash and q cloud of dust as the shell of
mud and tiles falls upon the ruins of the
fimsy dwelling. a matched roof or a
shingle roof drops quite as easily. The
ordinary house or shop in the town sci
dom exceeds twelve feet in frontage, and

Queer Religious Sects in Russia.

NJ. Tsakni, a Russian writer, has
just published an interesting work
upon curious religious sects in Russia.
1t appears that in the Empire there are
no less than Is, 600, 900 of devout fol-
lowers Of insane and cranky notions of
Christianity; and new religions or
sects are constantly springing up in
spite of all the efforts of the Russian
authorities.
One of these sects is called the Run
Always. They fly from their villages
or towns. They believe in returning
to wild state of existence, destroying
their identity as much as possible, and
living like savages. Civilization they
regard as the great curse Of humanity.
They also carry on sort of brigand-
age, and one of their most sacred du-
ties is to rob churches.
There is another sect, calling them
selves Christs. They adore one an
other. Crazy dancing forms part of
their religious ceremonies.
The Skoptsys, another religious body,
believe in self-mutilation. They are
also expert dancers and tumblers.
Barnum would be proud of such set
or acrODatS.
There is another sect that never
speak. They make signs skillfully.
Blood sacrifices form part of the re-
ligion of other fanatics, and the butch
ering of sons and daughters to appease
the wrath of the Lord is getting rather
too common.
There are also missionaries who 90
around preaching the glories and
beauties of suicide and its absolute
necessity for salvation. A Mr.. Souck-
hoff is the leader of this gang. He
was arrested for murder some time
ago, but managed to escape, and
turned up in a village where he
preached so hard in favor of murder
and suicide that several of his follow
ers cut each others Threats, and others
shut themselves up in their houses and
burned themselves to death.

A MARRYiNG RACE.-In Turkey every
body marries young, and, one might,
perhaps, be permitted to add, those who
can afford it marry often. Such thing
as an old maid is unknown amolg the
Turks. They are a marrying race, and
as general thing the girls are married off
by the time they reach their teens, ana
often year or two before. A Turk
may possibly fall in love with bis wife
after marriage, but it wouldn't be very
easy for his affections to antedate this
ceremony, for the first time he ever sets
eyes on her face is in the puptial cham

Every imaginable safeguard is used to

mistake occurs all have to be done over,
and the first batch is destroyed. If one
is lost and cannot be recovered all are de-
stroyed, and a new series printed in en-
tirely different colors.
An instance of this kind occurred sew
eral years ago. \ bank note company in
this city printed some bonds on contract
for the Virginia government. One pack
age was stolen while they were being
transported to the treasurer. OF course
none of them had been signed, and they

Docs TRAINED FOR SMUGeLNe.-On
the Belgian frontier smuggling with the
aid of trained dogs is sid to be a -four
ishing business. Cigars, jewelry and
laces constitute the trade. The animals
receive a special training for their pro-
fession. The practice consists in travel
ing from one place in. Belg um to another
in France and vice versa, avoiding the
high roads and the revenue men. The
latter they are taught by bitter expert
ence to avoid, for the smugglers who
train them keep a good supply of uni
forms of revenue officers on hand.
These uniforms are donned Dy confeder-
ates whom the dogs have never seen,
and these fellows beat and stone the
dogs numerically. Tie result is that
the dogs run whenever they see gen.
uine officer. When the dog is started
off on his journey with his load the
smuggler sets out for the same place.
but be takes the direct route, or travels
boldly by rail, carrying of course, moth
ing for any inspection of his baggage.
There was famous dog of this kind
in Maubeuge. He made the fortune of
his master by carrying laces across the
roDCn frontier. Ills ualuIdI colOr WAS
white, but he wore all sorts of DISCUSSES.
Sometimes he was black, sometimes
brown and sometimes he was mighty
thick shaggy fellow. He was called
Cute (Malin), and he was well worthy of
the name. A price was put upon his
head, and all sorts of traps and ambus-
cades were prepared for him. 1t is said
that once he crossed the frontier disguis-
ed as an innocent sheep dog travelling
with flock of sheep. His death was
Gnite tragic. Cute died in harness like
a hero. He was chased by the revenue
officers and repeatedly fired upon. In
swimming across the Escaut he was NOR
tally wounded, but he managed to reach
the shore where he died. Laces valued
al Is, 900 francs were found in his rover
stable overcoat.-Home Journal.

SHOULD BE BREAD WINNERs.-Everv

DhOUDD DE DREAD w lNNEkS.-INeTg
one, women IS we'll as men, should be
bread winners, in broad sense, at least;
and it should be taught early that
natural capacity is to decide the line in
which the individual is to be educated.
If girl shows natural aptitude for
teaching, let her be educated to be a
teacher; but do not send every girl
through the Normal college because a
halo rests over the teachers chair.
When every vacancy in school or Office
calls forth thirty or forty anxious appli-
cants, why do not women turn their at
tention to something besides teaching,
type writing, and similar employments?
Let them take up the neglected needle
and the despised scissors, and put the
same energy into mastering these hum
BILE instruments that is wasted on didac-
tics, let them aim to do well the work
that is crying to be done.
