SPLENDID CROWN JEWELS.

Tho Most Intensely Brilliant Diamonds
| Worn by the Ladies OF the Court of
Era@il.
/ wonder what has become of The
crown jewels of Brazil? They were in
a large measure derived from Portugal,
of which for hundreds of wears the
crown had the exclusive right to own
Brazilian diamonds.
Those which it did not wish to keep
were sold, and their proceeds were
paid into the treasury. ! great guam

[ never saw more intensely brilliant
diamonds than those of the cx-

ex-Emrcror, writes the Paris CORES
pondent Of London Trltih. Mario

Emperor was a clever man, but had the
manners OF a buffoon.
He was fond all bis life of playing

thought, for king hcmmcd in by Ell

Miguel his brother. had the advant-

CANT slender figure and gentle pl&us-
ible manners. He had the grace, Of a

never saw palmer set Of women
| than the ladies OF the Empress of Brazil.
Her Majesty herself was far from pref

wedge, and was set round with white
hair, which appeared 10 light it mp,

too searching. They visibly seek to
take the measure of those who are pre-
sented to her.
She has fine italian voice whom she
speaks freely, which is not ofte1, n
guard being placed by q diplomatic
Italian temper upon her lips. Marie
Amclie, her aunt, has this guarded re-

The plainncss CT the ladies was not
the only drawback to the court of Bra

SMALL quantities of nickel are OBJ
tanned from various localities in the
United States and other countries, but
the worlds chief supply is stated to
have come thus far from the mines of a
French company in New Caledonia,
whose output has been about l 900 tons
yearly. At the copper mines near Sud
bury. Ont, however, nickel has now
been found in such quantity that DR.. Pc
ters has offered to prodnce 1000 tons Of
the metal annually. Late discoveries
Of nickel ore have also been made in
the Ural. The increase in the supply
of this metal is expected to bring into
extensive use the valuable alloys Of

"Do YOU know that among the few
accomplishments which possess | re-
ally believe that | have great talent
for historonic abilities"
Thus spoke the Woodward Avenue
Girl to her best chum as the two girls
sat on the bed in the formers boudoir.
They had just returned from the
theater, and it was after n period OF
deep thought that the Woodward Ave
nue. Girl made the above remark.
But what character do You think

"Wcll, row, let me see. Do you

well, let us go to sleep now, and
tomorrow tell you of an idea that !
an sure will please you, provided you
donot snore and dig your arms into me. }"
The next day her best chum contided
TO her that she had heard several
| Young men say that she would look
/ immense in private thcatricals, and
that If she gave party she would as
| sit her to the utmost of her ability.
The Woodward Avenue Girl fairly
bUhblcd over with JOY at the prospect.
! Here was an opportunity to show that
! all the hist,iouic talent was not owned
by Mary Anderson, Lillian Russell or
Lolita. She would show her friends
/ that Detroit possessed an artist of eX-
traoldinary merit
