Queen Victoria is said to have great
that all her daughters shall have fine
pearl necklaces. One Of her first plrchas.
es, after the birth of each, has been two
or thu ee pearls, and every year, until their
marriage, she has added pearl or two to
het stock until the necklace she required
was ready. In this quiet, economical
way she has been enabled to make up al
most complete rope of pearls for each
OF the prnceases, and those who have
seen the necklaces at court. say that the
daughters are, SO far as pearls 90, well
supplied with jewelry. Thereby hangs a
tale. Some years ago her Majesty
bought from a well known London Jewel
er three very valuable pearls, the united
cost OF which was not far short OF 1--WE
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
tartly scientific inquiry WAS an assurance
that If her Majesty wished to oxygeniz
pearls for her amusement she would find
that they would burn in an ordinary fire
The rtjoinder brought the secret to light
The Queen had placed the pearls on her
writing desk. wrapped in a piece If 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 unobserved, went with it. The ashes
of the CRATE were searched for them in
vain. They mad been destroyed 50 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 mddleclass subjects into

fault of 81 900 bail. She was charged
with assault with intent to kill and was
sent to Wiscasset Jail the next day.
The condition of Titus is unchanged anu
the chances of his recovery are very
