Messrs Phillips, Son Sc Neale, OF New Bond
street, London, says The Times, sold by auc-
ton a large collection of Burmese, Indian
aud Japanese curiosities, the property Of a
gentleman who formerly occupied an official
position in India for many years. The great
attraction at the sale was ''the Hndoo Lin
gam god, y consisting of a chrysoberyl cats
eve fixed In topaz and mounted In a pyra-
midal base studded with diamonds and pre-
cious stones This curious relic stood two and
one-fourth inches in height. 1t was preserved
for more than thousand years in an ancient
temple at Delhi, where acts of devotion were
paid before it by women anxious TO have
children.
The base is of solid gold, and around it are
set nine gems or charms, a diamond, ruby,
sapphire, chrysoberyl cats eye, coral, pearl,
hyacinthine garnet, yellow sapphire and
emerald. The gems are all rudely carved,
and would, no doubt, by more scientific cut
ting, be- greatly improved in value. Round
the apex of this gold pyramid is plinth set
with diamonds. On the apex is topaz
1916 inches in length and 9-16 of an inch
in depth, shaped like q horseshoe; In the CEN
ter of the horseshoe the great chrysoberyi
cats eye stands upright This is 1910 of
an inch in height, and dark brown color and
shaped like a pear.
An extremely mobile opalescent light
crosses the length of the stone in m oblique
direction. When Bad Shah Bahador Shah
the last king of Delhi, was captured and
exiled to the Andaman isles, his queen
secreted this gem, and it was never seen
again until, being distressed during the
mutiny, she sold it to the present owner. The
gem was finally knocked down at e2, 450 Ia

Brock McVickar, one Of the characters
Of Chicago, now deceased, once saved the life
OF Alexander, the late car of Russia.
'sBrockn was in Paris, and on the grand fete
day was in the street among the throngs OF
people watching the car and his magnificent
retinue as they passed on their way to the
Tuileries.
Suddenly an anarchist or nihilist In the
crowd pulled q gun, and, poking the muzzle
under the arm OF man in front OF him,
biazed away at the car.
sBrockn McVickar was the man In front of

grabbed him, and, despite his desperate strng-
giles to get away and lose his identity In the
crowd, hung on until the officers arrived and
hurried the man to prison.
The cxar inquired who had stopped the
murderous nihilist He was told that the In
dividusl was Brock McVickar, Of Chicago.
He sent for him, and "Brocin brushed up a
little and went. The car thanked 'Brockn
for the service he had rendered and decorated
him with various orders as O reward.

struck with the beauty OF Empress Eugene,

The Great Painter and His Masterpiece.
A Legend Of the Alps.
There was once great painter whose equal
wns not to be found among all his contempt
rariez But he was man who had no fixed
belief, no moral life and who therefore lived
at most like barbarian. Now at one time
q high dignitary Of the church, who was
about to build magnificent chapel and was
willing to intrust the work only TO the most
famous and most slillful artists, engaged him
to paint the altarpiece. Long did the mas
ter consider his subject, and finally, fearing
that tho world might doubt his ability, be-
gan his work. He painted the "Pepitent
Magdalen,n and so touchingly beautiful was
1t that many poor offender was converted
upon seeing his picture, and was encouraged
to begin new life. But on the completion
Of bis work, In hisoverweening pridehe wrote
In one corner OF the picture: mot In Gods
honor, but for my fame These goddess
words the painter hid beneath the wide,
carved frame
Not long afterwards the artist died.
But rest was not granted him even In the
grave. He who in his whole life had never
done anything out of reverence for God now
rose every night from the tomb in the vain
attempt to paint a work for the redemption
OF his soul. But the words placed upon his
altarpiece crippled his power, and at the first
cock crow he sadly fed back to the tomb.
One day there came into the church a

Tho following is the translation OF the
Latin text accompanying the quaint cut
which served as frontisplece in The Book
Lover. The cut and text, both In fac-simile,
were taken from that most famous of cradle
books, 1.-THE Nuremberg Chronicle" Q493):
a'Forty thousand books belonging to tho
most famous library in the world were once
burnt up in Egypt. Ancient writer's praise
the zeal there evinced IN collecting books
Aristotle bequeathed both his library and his
school qyceuml to Theophrastus. And he
(Aristotle) was the first las Strabo opines) who
collected books and instructed the Egyptian
kings how to arrange their libraries. Theo-
phrastus thereafter left his library to Neleus.
Neleus carried II TO Scepsis "a city In MysiaJ,
where it camo into tho hands OF ignorant
men, who kept the books shut up and in the
worst disorder Ptolemeus Philadelphus
also collected large number of books And
as Seneca notes, 100000 volumes, most
beautiful monument of royal opulence, were
consumed by fire In Alexandria. Livy says
that this library had been the ornament
and object of care to the illustrious
kings. III truth, 1t was not SO, but
rather kind Of studious luxury; indeed, not
studious even, to speak more correctly, be-
cause they accumulated books, not for study,
but for the sake Of display, just as books to
many ignorant and servile collectors are not
instruments for study, but only sort Of
Snowy furniture in their dining hallsn
The destruction of the library Is described
by Abulfaragius: "John the Grammarian,
famous peripatetic philosopher, being in
Alexandria and in high favor with Amru, the
conqueror Of the city, begged that he would
give him the royal library. Amru told him
that it was not In his power to grant such
request, but promised to write to the caliph
for his consent Omar is said to have replied
that il those books contained the same doc
trine as the Koran they could be Of no use,
since the Koran contained oil necessary
truths; but Il they contained anything con-
trary to that book they ought to be de-
stroyed; and, therefore, whatever their con-
tents were, he ordered them TO be burned.
Pursuant to this order, they were distributed
among the public baths, OF which there was

months they served to supply the fires y

bite him. Pausing, the caterpillar would
turn his head and bite the ant and kill his
tofmentor. After slaughtering dozen or
more Of his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs OF fatigue. The ants made a combined
attack. Betalting himself to stalk OF grass,
the caterpillar climbed up tail first, followed
by the ants. As one approached no seized it
IN his jaws and threw 1t Off the stalk. The
ants, seeing that the caterpillar had too
strong position for them TO overcome, re-
sorted to strategy. They began saving

tho stalk fell, and hundreds of ants pounced
