led, was described by Leland as the
Largest castcl of loggingcs in all the
north country" The Vancs, says the
Pail Mall Budget, bought Raby from
the lessces of the crown, in the person
of Sir Harry Vanc the elder, of whom
it is related that he applied to James l.
for his sanction to the purchase, repre-
scnting the castle as n mere hillocl< of
stones. Afterwards. when Charles I.
visited Raby, he exclaimed: ''Gude
troth, my lord, ca yc that bullock of
stancs? BY my faith, ha' M sic
anither bullock in a my rcalms!" The
opposition of Sir Harry Vanc the
younger to Cromwell in council caused
the we'll known apostrophc: 'Sir Harry
Vane, Sir Harry Vane-the Lord deliv-
or me from Sir Harry Vane!" He was
behcaded after the restoration, in 1869,
and was succeeded by his son, Christie
phcr, created Baron Barnard. The
grandson of the latter became carl of
Darlington in 1854, and his grandson,
Marquis of Cleveland, in 1897, and duke
of Cleveland in 1888.
A mansion existed before 1870, when
John dc Neville obtained license "to
make castle of his manor of Raby,
and to embattle and crencllatc its tow
ers." The buildings are OF immense
size, and inclosc three courtyards, the
whole being surrounded by broad
raised terrace. In the east front is Il
tower, supposed to be older than any
part of the castle. The center of the
south front was added by lingo Jones.

temporary writer, "Raby is the most

CUTTING PRECIOUS STONES.
How tho beauties OF tho Cons Arc
brought Out.

How tho beauties OF tho Cons Arc
brought Out.
The gem cutters sit in row, each
with n small lap stone revolving hori-
zontally before him. The stone to be
cut is set in solder, SO that only space
enough for one facet can touch the
whirling stone. 1t is then made fast to
n small handle and hcldsagainst the
swiftly-revolving surface until the cut
ting is accomplished. For some gems
n wet grindstonc sufficcs. Others re-
quirc emery in addition. For the hard
est and most precious-such as ruby or
apphirc-diamond dust is necessary.
Each facet requires n change of posi-
ton, hence the cutting is work of time
and attention as well us most exquisite
skill. Before it begins the stone is most
carefully looked over for possible flaws,
its weight, shape and lustcr taken into
account and the form selected that will
display all to the best advantage. A
pattern is then made upon paper show
ing angles and facets, and to this COM
pleXion must it come at last or the
workman will know the reason why.
Everybody has heard the saying about
Ediamond clt diamond" Nearly every
body knows that it is literally true
that each bit of frozen fire, whether
mountain of light" or the tinicst bril-
liant that bcdcws n flower spray, is
shaped and polished by friction against
Il fellow. The cutters sit apart from
all the rest, surrounded and separated
by walls of glass. Thus they get light
from all sides, but escape draughts-
something to be guarded against when
diamond dust fetches twenty dollars to
the ounce.
The rough diamond is looked over
even more carefully than other gems
Sometimes it is dipped in oil to find
possible flaw. If the shape is very ir-
regular fragments are Clipped Off with
chiscl and light mallct. A stone of
good size with serious defect in the
middle is sometimes cleft or sawed into
two gems.

Dress of Naval omcers.

American naval officers are men Of
many clothes, and the official etiquette
OF dress aboard ship is appalling to n
landsman. Every officer must have
four or five styles of hats and caps. at
least as many different kinds of coats,
and even prescribed styles of ncclxtics
in considerable variety. The captain
ordinarily prcscribcs the uniform of the
day, but when Il flagship is within sig
mailing distance of another man-of-war
the admiral is the authority on clothes
as on other things. To appear on deck
with the wrong necl1t;c is to invite q
rcprimand. Subaltcrns, who are o
good deal given to grumbling, insist
that most commanders prescribe tho
uniform of the day without considering
the thermometer, with the result that
everybody sweltcrs in thick blue broad
cloth on hot days and shivcrs in white
duck when the weather is cool.

Remedy for Snake Rite.

The news comes from Berlin that DR..
Engcks has discovered in Africa n rom
cdy for blood poisoning caused by the
bites of snakes and rabid dogs. This
remedy is the 'wild-growing noble
black palm" 1t is stated that 500 nc
grocs bitten by poisonous snakes were
treated with the extract of the palm
and 1877 were cured in five days. OF
siSty-five farmers and negroes bitten
by rabid dogs all but two were saved.
The extract is injected under tho skin
and causes n moderate fever. On tho
third day the fever and inflammation
disappear, and on the fifth or seventh
day the patient IS cured.

TELEGRAPUISG,
The Immense WORK Of Great Telegraph
SNstem.

The records Of the Western Union tele
graph company may be consulted 10 show
the extent of the expenditures by the in
dividual newspapers and the Associated
Press, for telegraphic tolls alone, on this
the largest telegraph system.
During the year ending June 80, 1890,
the Western Union telegraph company
delivered at all stations 322 088, ABS words
OF regular" or Associated Press report.
This was delivered TO an average of two
newspapers in each place, at an average
cost of fifteen cents per one hundred
words for each place. This is rendered
possible only by the gaat number of
places served on a circuit-from thirty to
forty being supplied in some cases at the
same time During the same period the
company handled 206, 025 ,094 words of
specials, at an average cost Of tfty-One
cents per hundred words. These figures
do not include reports transmitted 10y the
Associated Press over its leased wires, or
special correspondence sent on individual
newspapers leased wires. Estimating
these two classes and the reports from the
outside press, there was delivered TO the
newspapers during that year an aggregate
amount Of 500, 100000 words OF tele-
graph news On the regular service q
little more than twenty-five per cent. Is
handled by the telegraph company in the
daytime, while on the special service only
about FIVE per cent. Of the volume ia hand
led in the daytime. The day rate Is
twice the night rate. On the Associated
Press leased wires, the proportions are
thirty.four per cent. of day report 10 sixty
six per cent. Of night report and the
difference in cost is the same az by the
Western Union lines. The total DRESS re-
ceip.s by the telegraph company for the
year ending June 90 1890, including
regular, special and leased wires, were
81 .s4s. 2i7.Z3.
II should he borne 10 mind that these
figures 10 not include tolls on other lines,
or cable tolls, or the wages OF correspond
ents and operators, or miscellaneous ex-
pen-es, Or he sums paid for news by both
individual NJ rspapers and the Associated
Press, which would aggregate a very
large sum.

woman's sense OF ComradeshIp.

The greatest need at present ls for con
ccrted action among women. Never min.
Cling together as men have done, they are
IN general as ignorant of life, It's temptl.
tOns and possibilities as Of their own "a
pacities. That women are harder upon
each other than men are upon them is the
wickedest lie ever taught and one that the
slightest observation explodes. II has
seemed TO keep them apart and prevent
Independent, straigt forward action. w hen
they begin TO get acquainted, as in clubs
and societies, the mutual surprise and de-
light o. finding so much earnestness and
sisteily feeling is something really
pathetic. Many a shy, stiff, narrow woman
expands under the sense Of comradeship
and sympathy like flower brought from
the cellar into the sunshine, and blossoms
out in a way as surprising 10 herself as 1t
is delightful 10 her friends Like Glori-
ana, in one Of Mrs Whitney, stories, she

but never expected 10 be in them" and
now she learns bow 10 contribute her own
share 10 them. More than all other2means

the one that's made by the propri.
etors of Dr.. Sagc's Cat.y2h Remedy.
Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward of $500 for an incura-
BILE case of Catarrh. IF You have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields to that. By its mild.
soothing, cleansing and healins
properties, it cures the worst eases,
no matter Of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors arc willing to take it.
The symptoms Of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profusc, watery, and acrid, OF
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulcnt, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once.
