Nictoria's Three Pearls.

SteSii |iSAOiii Is S;tlu W nave Il
great fondness for pearls. She has
taken care that all her daughters
shall have fine pearl necklaces.
One of her first purchases after the
birth Of each, has been two Or three
pearls. and every year until their
marriage she has added a pearl or
two to her stock until the necklace
she required was ready. In this
quiet, economical way she has been
enabled to make up rope of pearls
for each Of the princesscs, and those
who have seen the necklaces ut
court, say that the daughters are,
so far as pearls go, we'll supplied
with jewelry. Thereby hangs a
tale. Some years ago her majesty
bought from we'll known London
jeweler three very beautiful pearls,
the united cost of which was not
fur short Of five hundred pounds
A little while after the purchase
had been made the merchant was
surprised to receive letter from a
lady at court, which read: THE
queen wishes very much to know
whether pearls will burn" The
reply to this somewhat tardy scicn-
ttfic inquiry was an assurance Il
if her majesty wished to oxvgcniz2
pearls for her amusement S !e would
find that they would burn in an
ordinary fire. The rejoinder brought
the secret to light. The queen had
placed the pearls on her writing
desk, wrapped in piece Of tissue
paper. AS she was writing one
morning she used the tissue paper
to wipe her pen, and then threw it
into the fire. The pearls, all un-
observed, went with it. The ashes
of the CRATE were searched for them
in vain. They had been destroyed
so utterly as to leave no trace.
The queen, with her own hand,
had cast three splendid jewels,
worth more than the average in
come Of her middle-c|ass subjects,
into the blaze.

One day Marshal MacMahon,
during one of his presidential tours,
called on c,rtain Prefect against
whom serious charges had been
presented at headquarters. The
Marshal spent the night at the pre-
lecture. He was an early riser and
a genuine soldicr-waited upon
himself and brushed his own
clothes. III the morning he stood
as usual, brush in hand, at the
open window. The Prefcct, who
slept in the opposite wing, and who,
harrasscd with gloomy forebodings,
had also risen, early, saw him,
opened his window, and likewise
began to brush his coat.
"Ah! Monsieur lie Prefect, do you
get up as early as this?"
every day, Monsieur lie Pris-
ident."
"Really! and brush your clothes
yoursclf?"
II am quite a soldier in that
respect"
Both went on brushing.
Look here" said the Marshal.
'sjust step across to my ROOM"
The next moment the Prefect
was deep in conversation with the
Marshal, on whom he made very
favorable impression, and was soon
afterward promoted to more lu-
crativc Office. Capital fellow

For Seventy-Five Cents.

The attention of the readers is invit-
ed to the advertisement ofThe Weekly
Sentinel in another column, and to the
remarkably low price at which it is
offered. Seventy-fve cents year, or
in clubs of six, only fifty cents year.
The Sentinel is the leading metropoli-
tan journal of the state. 1t is recog-
nized as one of the ablest and best
newspapers of the country. For Wis
consin readers who desire to take, in
addition to their local newspaper, a
paper devoted to general news, the in
telligent discussion of current topics,
full market reports, etc. 1T is preferable
to any of the newspapers published in
cities outside the state, since it is pre-
pared with special reference to the
wants and interests of the people OF
this state.
