The royal crown of Prussia, which
dates from the time of King Frederick
the First, is lined with velvet, contrary to
all heraldic rules. This fact has led to
several discrepancies, more especially to
matters of art. The painter, Prot Hide
brandt, a, welEknown authority on points
of heraldy, some years sketched a
banner for u veteran association, strictly
adhering to the heraldic rule in drawing
the royal crown without q lining. On
the sketch being sent to the Minister OF
the Interior, the official objected to 1T, in
sisting upon the Prussian crown being
lined, but finally yielded TO the professor.
1t may be mentioned here that the crown
Of 170I can no longer be worn nowadays.
twas fitted at the time to be worn over
a long wig and, therefore, is far too large.
The Emperor William, on the occasion of
his coronation, had a new crown made
for himself. When the court jeweler de-
livered it he requested the King to try it
on, but the King declined. saying that he
could not possibly consent to try on" a
crown which he was first to place upon
his head on so solemn an occasion as a
coronation.-The ATqOnunt.

Queen Natalle,s Letters.

A Pesth paper publishes some letters
written quite lately by Queen Natalie to
her friends in Belgrade. In one she hopes
that the Skuptschina will vote her an in
come, which she would devote entirely
to good works, her private income being
sufficient for her wants. In another let.
ter she says:-"I@ have given the better
half of my heart to the Servian people.
go with full confidence to Belgrade and
fear nothing for my safety. | think
should not be safer anywhere on the face
of the earth" In answer to General
Gruitch's warning that her arrival IN Bel
grade might be followed by terrible con-
sequences. she wrote ironically that she
did not feel afraid when it was said that
King Milan wouldfind some one to throw
vitriol into her face. Such" she con
tInued, "are the means of revenge used
by the demimonde, certainly not by mon
afchs." In another letter the Queen an
nounces her firm reslove to stay in Bel
grade for good. She would not interfere
in politics, but her salon would be open
to everybody. Finally she remarks:--''It
is not possible that those who are respon-
sible should ever consent to King Milan's
taking King Alexander out of the Acoun
try; if for no other reason thar this, that
the royal child would neither hear nor
learn any good from his father."

Ever since il was charged that British
soldiers lost their lives in the recent Sou
dan engagements because of bayoncts or
swords breaking during the fight there
has been a general inspection oi all the
patterns OF such weapons issued To the
service. As Il consequence OF such en-
aminations in the British army there has
been discussion on the part of military
men throughout Europe regarding The
relative strength of different types Of
swords, lanccs and bayoncis now in ser
vice among the powers.
TO military men in this country the
importance placed upon such arms by
foreign countries canno. ba rightly under
stood for the American anidier has
learned To regard all types Of small arms
other than the rifle and receivers us ,isc-
less.
When General Grant visited Europe he
wa. constantly brought into contact with
the military heals OF the different nations,
and he related that when he met The late
Emperor William the latter convcrscd
wholly on military matters, entering
into discussion of this type Of sabre and
this type Of bayonct, and so absorbing
WAS the question of such detail to the
Emperor that lie could not find oppor-
tunity 10 speak TO General Grant on any
other subject.
According to the New York 7IDcs there
is Il strong likelihood Of the lance finding
general rcadoplion by several European
armies. The natural weakness of the
lance is the point Of junction where the
wood and metal meet The conir;vances
so far suggested have all resulted in rem
dcring the lance top-hcayy and difficult
to handle. I.anccs made wholly oT metal
have been tried, but until lately il has
been found impossible TO combine solidity
with lightncss. The problem is now
again being studied in Germany, Austria,
Italy and France with varied success. \
lance has been manufactured composed
entirely of steel wire. In this the stock
and the point are both of the same sub
stance and of but one piece. II is said
that these lances are we'll balanced. and
can even be bent double. But they have
not been practically tried yet, and they
have II serious drawback in the matter OF
rOSt.

Profit In Flowers.

The florists must do profitable bust

one would say the business was very re-
nuncrative. 1t is not generally known
that the leading florists sell their old stoch
to the sidewalk vendors, who undcrseE
them from thirty-thrce to fifty per cent
The florists claim that only inexperienced
people will buy from the sidewalk vcnd
ers, even if they undcrscl them, because
their flowers, worn and faded, will moi
last, but will fall to pieces almost wheu
touched. The florists preserve their floral
beauties in refrigerators, and they viii

A Glimpse at Russian Misery.

In the Russian district OF Kola band
of BOhcmians were recently lynchcd by n
crowd of Russian Villagers. These
l'ohcmians had stolen two children in
the village of Marskaj, and had blinded
them both for the purpose OF using them
FOR soliciting aims. Such cases are very
frequent in Russia. In the same district
Of Kola, where the winter was this year
exceptionally severe, the wolves have
given Il great deal of trouble. On Satur-
day last the mail coach was attacked by
an enormous pack, horses, driver and
passengers being dcvourcd. At the same
village of Marskaj an old farm woman
gave battle to huge wolf who was carry
ing off one of her fnttcst pigs, which she
had just killed for sailing. The old
woman pursued the wolf and helped him
10 the knife. The pig was reserved for
the sailing tub, but the old farm woman
has only six fingers left TO do the picklipg
with. Times Democrat

Sea Anchors.

Experiments have lately been tried Mt
Dover with socallcd sea anchor, in
vented by Captain Waters. This ap-
paratus consists Of II canvas bag about four
feet in diameter and five feet deep, with
either strong hoop to hold it open or n
square bolted frame to answer the same
purpose. The bag is attached to beam,
or float, in such manner that it lies Just
below the surface of the water, and stout
rope forms the connection between it and
the bow of the vessel empIoyingit. The
object of this sea anchor is to bring a boat
or ships head to the sea when in danger of
laundering from getting broadsidc toward
waves. There is nothing very new in the
idea, for such contrivancc has frequently
been cxtcmporiscd with advantage. The
veteran acronaut Green also constructed
an anchor to hold balloon near the
surface of the sen, which was almost
identical in form to this one.

Giant Glaciers Of Alaska.

The southwestern face of st. Elias, it is
safe to say, will never be climbed; it pre-
sents IL mass of broken. snow, beautiful,
yet forbidding. We estimated the SUM-
nit to be about 1000 feet above us, max
ing its total height Is. 500 feet II seemed
to us that the Coast Survey in giving it
1880 feet was too liberal in its figures
The day was cloudlcss; the whole scene
was one that BATTLES description. 1t sur
passed in grandeur, though not in pic
tnrcsqucncss, the very best that the Alps
can offer. Roughly speaking, the eye en-
countcrcd for miles nothing but snow and
ice. had never before thoroughly rca-
lizcd the vastncss of the Alaskan glaziers,
though during the past fortnight we had
spent many a weary honr in crossing i'm
mcnse moraincs. One of the glaciers we
looked down upon was not less than sixty
miles long, while another attained II
breadth of twenty-five or thirty miles.
From below had gained the impression
that ice covered with debris prcdominatcd
over white ice. now saw that this was
not the case, and that the ratio of debris
10 clear ice was probably no: greater than
that of one to ten. When standing at y
considerable height one appreciates for
the first time the beautiful curves through
which the glaciers alter their course. We
noticed this in particular in looking down
upon the Agassiz Glacier. 1t appeared
ut one point to describe three or four
acres of conccntric circles with radii vary
ing from eight to ten miles, each arc being
indicated by light coating of stones, the
whole resembling an immense race course
Through dhe middle of the Tyndall
Glacier, and for distance of several
miles, two light strcaks of morainc ran
parallel to each other, presenting from
above the appearance of huge serpent
crawling the length of the glacier
