The. Richest European Sovereign.

The car of Russia is the richest
sovereign in Europe and one of the
richest men in the world The income
of the imperial family of Russia is de-
rived from the crown lands, which are
regarded as the czar's private estate
and treated as such. They comprise
over l 900, 000.square miles, about one
third of the area of the United States,
and include farms, pasture or grazing
land and forests, while hundreds of
villages are built on them, the inhabit-
ants of which pay their rent to the
car. Many gold, silver and other
mines are included in the crown prop
erty, and the output of these is be-
lieved to be very large. There are no
means of ascertaining the exact in
come of the czar, since the imperial &C
counts are not more open to the public
than the books of private individual,
but it is estimated by Russians in Of
fetal position at 60 ,450,00 a year,
about $12 100000. OF this enormous
sum portion is devoted to the mainte-
nance of hospitals, asylums, churches
and theaters, but the larger part is
swallowed up by the personal and Of

Angelo and the StOnecutter.

Michael Angeles quickness of eye
was truly wonderful. He used to say
that sculptor should carry his COM
passes in his eye. "The hands, in
deed, do the work, but the eye judges"
Of his power of eye he was so certain,
that having once ordered a block of
marble to be brought to him, he told
the stonecutter to cut away some par
ticular parts of the stone and to polish
others, and very soon an exquisitely
fine figure started out of the block.
The stonecutter, surprised, beheld it
with admiration. "Well, my friend"
said Michael Angelo, :" what do you
what to think of it," answered the me-
chanic; it is very fine figure, to be
sure. Ihave infinite obligations to you,
sir, for thus making me discover in my
self talent which | never knew l pos
sessed. Prom Vouga'S Art Folio.

The History Of Charity.

Among the few books which remain
to be written is a history of charity. l
have not the time at present to under
take this great work, but these are the
chapters into which it will be divided
when it comes to be written: (D In
prehisoric times. When you give a
beggar penny because he is beggar.
(2) When you build monastery which
shall give bed and a square meal to
every beggar because he is a beggar.
(3) How the beggar increases and null
tiplies and blackens all the roads in
consequence of his humane treatment.
(4) When you hang the beggar, drop
the beggar into the river, pillory the
baggar, and fog the beggar because he
is a beggar. (5) When you found So
cieties for relief, but continue to fog
the beggar because he is beggar. g.
When you send cheques to the So
cieties, but continue TO fog the beggai
because he is beggar ~ When you

a beggar, but give him a penny when
nobody is looking. (S) When you re.

The Regent Diamond.

The Regent diamond, or Pitt diamond,
which weighs in its cut state one hun
dred thirty-six and three-fourths carats,
is unrivaled in its limpidness and it's
form, its diameter and its depth being
nearly equal. 1t was found in Col
conda, and was brought from India by
an English gentleman named Pitt, the
grandfather of the first Earl of Chat
ham, and by him sold to the Duke of
Orleans for $780, 900 sterling. 1t deco
rated the hilt of the sword of state of
the First Napoleon, was taken by the
Prussians at Waterloo, and now belongs
to the King of Prussia. The Sanci
diamond, weighing one hundred six
carats, has still more interesting his
tory. 1t belonged to Charles the Bold,
Duke of Burgundy, who wore ii in his
hat at the battle of Nancy, where he
fell. A Swiss soldier found it, and sold
it to clergyman for a gulden. 1t
passed into the possession of Anton,
King of Portugal, who was obliged to
sell it, the price being one hundred
thousand francs, and it shortly after
ward became the property of French
gentleman named Sanci, whose descend
ant being sent as ambassador to Soleure,
King Henry III. required the diamond
as pledge, but the servant who was
carrying it to the king was attack by
robbers on the way and murdered, not,
however, till he had swallowed the dia-
mond. His master, fully confident OF
his faithfulness, caused his body to be

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When the tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

any case of deafness Caused by ca

indebted also for aniline, antipyrine
and more than one hundred other coal
tar products. Scientists, wondering
what was in crude petroleum. found
paraffine and vaseline. Pasteur won
dered what caused fermentation. He
found out, and brought new era to
wine-making. The singing and dancing
of tea-kettle attracted the attention
of a brain, and we have as a conse.
quence all the application of steam.
The swinging of a chandelier in an
Italian cathedral before the eyes of
young Calico was the beginning of a
train of thoughts that resulted in the
invention of the pendulum, and through
it to the perfecting of the measurement
of time, and thus its application and use
in navigation, astronomic observations
and in thousand ways we now pass by
unnoted, has been of such practical
value that the debt to scientific thought
even in this one instance can never be
known. Science, in its study of alb
stract truth, is ever giving to man new
beginnings. While the devil is engaged
in finding mischief for idle hands to do
science is eternally at work finding
something useful for them to do.-Th

How the Stag Elk Changes his
AntIers.

Those who take an interest in the
study of natural history may be pleased
to know that in few weeks the stag
elk in the door glen in the park will
undergo a decided change. He will
soon be shorn of the royal antlers that
have made him the pride of the glen.
will change his disposition entirely and
become as docile and tractable as a
lamb. He will show an inclination to
court public petting rather than avoid
it. He will remain in this condition
of temper until the beginning of March,
when he will show a disposition to
lurk in sequestered spots of the glen
and timidly avoid the presence of all,
even of his kind. During this period,
on the spot where the late antlers were,
a pair of protuberances will make their
appearance covered with soft, dark e,
velvety skin. These will attain con-
siderable growth in few days. The
carotid arteries of those protuberances
will enlarge with them in order to sup
ply a sufliciency of nourishment.
When the new antlers have attained
their full growth, which will be in ten
weeks after the old ones have been shed,
the bony rings at the base through
which the antlers pass will begin to
thicken, and gradually filling up will
compress the blood vessels and ulti-
mately obliterate them. The velvety
skin that surrounds the bone, being
thus deprived of nourishment, will lose
its vitality and will be rubbed off in
shreds by the stag on the edges of rocks
or other hard substances. AS soon as
the full size of the antlers is attained
the doclle disposition of the elk will
disappear, and he will become once
more for the year the fierce king of
the glen. The age of the elk, accord
ing to writers on natural history, is
computed by the number of points on
the antlers. At the present time there
are six. The next set will bear seven,
showing that seven summers have
passed since the date of his BIRTH

The Travels of Venus.

The astronomers tell us in their
stellar predictions for April that Venus
is making her way toward the sun, and
rises less than two hours before the sun
appears above the eastern horizon. AS
she travels toward superior conjunction
she at the same time recedes from the
earth, her semi-diameter naturally de-
creases, and with it her brilliancy. She
has been fair TO see for many weeks,
and, although she will not lay aside her
starry crown for some little time to
come, her rival, Jupiter, is gaining
rapidly opon her, and will fairly out
shine her before her present course as
morning star has been fully run.

New Ideas for Sofa Pillows.

Little things, oddly shaped, have a
way of fitting into all sorts of places.
1t seems to be their mission. Beauti-
full and oddly-shaped cushions are be-
ing devised by the fair women of to-
day for softening the rugged outline of
stiff-neck9d chairs and hard window
seats. These cushions must artistically
blend with their gowns. The sweet
girl whose afternoon robe is of deli
cate shade of pink India silk, the waist
being deliberately trimmed with black
chiffon, will lay her dainty little heed,
summing over with curls," against
downy pink cushion to match her gown.
The black satin flounce with which it is
finished makes a striking contrast, and
the girl and pillow together make a very
pretty picture. For simple coverings
for pillows, India silk is much used. A
pretty pillow for pink and white
room is made of the softest down. The
India silk which covers it is white with
pink wild roses scattered over il, and
each rose outlined with dainty silver
thread. Many pillows are made of
tapestry cloth and painted. Laughing
little faces have the preference just
now, and many of them are produced
so lifelike that by just looking at them
one cannot help feeling genial and
pleasant. Sometimes little darkey faces
are painted on a white tapestry cloth
pillow, while around the outer edge will
be founce of black satin. There is a
spring style for sofa pillows as well as
everything else, and that is the flower
pillow. A pretty one seen on Turk
ish couch, represented great, purple
pansy. The pillow itself was made in
the shape of the flower. The petals of
purple satin were sewed on to the pill
low; the shading was done in en-
broidery silk. Large yellow buttercnps
and any flower that is simple in its
structure may be used in this way.
One almost feels as if in flower gar
den when four or five of these pillows
are clustered in room. The black
satin pillow in the shape of huge
heart, with golden arrows and tiny gold
hearts outlined with gold thread upon
it, fits nicely into the corners of the
Cleopatra niche which just now is Sc
popular. York World.

two early lovers failed, for some reason

their present companions. This con-
tract further provides liquidated

their contract that, owing to respect for
children, etc., no divorce shall be
asked for, but that they shall trust to

ney general that the reading of the Bible
in the public schools is in direct viola-
ton of the state constitution may be all
right from legal standpoint, but if so,
it is all the worse for the constitution.
So long as the constitution of the United
States remains in its present form it is
very questionable if any power can ban
ish the Bible from the public schools or
anywhere else so long as its use does not
involve a tax upon the public funds. The
Book from which the best men of the
American nation, from Washington to
Lincoln, drew their inspiration, and
whose moral teaching is the basis of the
nations greatness, deserves better fate.
We may not force its use upon others.
To do so is un-American. 1t might be
left to local option. In any case, put
ting it under the ban is retrogression
and not progress.
