A Dutch jeweler Mt Cape Town bought
thestone from n man on the verge Of de
lirium tremens. The trembling wretch re,
ceived 81 900 for it and drank himself 70
death. The ieweler, who sent the large
yellow stone to Amsterdam to be cut, was
robbed Of the proceeds Of the sale. From
Amsterdam the jewel found its way into
the hands Of a London jeweler. At the
time of Queen Victoria's jubilee her maids
of honor purchased 1t for SD, coo. Victoria
heard of the history Of the stone and de
clined to accept it as a present. At her re
quest it was sold for the benefit Of "A charity
hospital.
Thestone then came into the possession
of n rich American named r.. 5. Lawrence.
whose wife wore it on 4 necklace. Law
renee got into financial difficulties, and the
now famous orange diamond was sold to
Edward Bruce, formerly secretary Of the
Baltimore aud Ohio railroad.
Prior to his purchase OF the stone Bruce
entered into partnership with Charles
Scale, "A diamond broker Of Broadway,
New York. Bruce and Mrs. Ssale, an at
~tractive lady Of thirty, fell in love with
each other. bout a year ago they went TO
Europe ON iesame vessel. The partner
ship was dissolved and Bruce and Mrs.
Scale (who was divOrced) were married in
England. They returned to America "A
Few months ago by way OF Canada, Mrs.
Bruce having the orange diar ond Ill her
possession. While they were in Montreal
the stone was sold to Joseph w. Carroll, a
photographer of Duane street, New York,
Tor $1,000. on condition that Mrs. Bruce
should retain n three-quarter interest in it.
Mr.. Carroll WIS to dispose of The stone and
divide the proceeds pro rata with Mrs.
Bruce, who IN the meantime went with her
husband to Seattle, Wash.
In some mysterious way the diamond
found temporary Judgment with Simpson,
the pawnbroker. Then Mr.. Carroll took it
to Scale, the diamond broker and former
husband Of Mrs. Bruce, to negotiate a sale.
When he called for IL some time later the
unlucky gem was not forthcomir :, and
Scale was arrested for purloining 1t. This
charge was proven groundless, and hlr. j.
a. Beall, counsel for Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce,
denounced the arrest Of the jeweler AS an
outrage. Beall had told Scale to retain
the diamond until it Vas claimed by Mrs.
Bruce.
While the question of ownership was in
contest the diamond was placed in charge
OF the property clerk OF the court. Moth

TO continue in turmoil and strife. The adj

the total humble of inmates of juvenile re

was 2+.S6 per cent In 1850 the ratio Of
Juvenile ~deiinqueuts confined in reforma-

the diamond fields. One day he tripped
and fell over the root Of n tree A small
stone hurt his hand. He picked it up and

the sun. The treasure OF a kingdom was
in his hand, but at that moment a rifle shot

Evil Effects OF Catarrh.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal catarrh
almost entirely n local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system.
All this is being rapidly disproved, and 1t is
being shown that II the nose Is in an un-
healthy state there is quite a long list of afec-
tions which may be induced in consequence.
Hay fever has often been cured by applica-
tons to certain points IN the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded TO the same treat
ment. 1t is a well known fact that when the
victim OF catarrh suffers from dyspepsia
scarcely any Improvement In the latter can
be made, no matter what is done for IL, until
the former is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances of the lungs, and even
of the heart, are sometimes induced by nasal
trouble. Recently there was reported the case
of a woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sough
relief, no Improvement took place until appli-
cations were made TO her nose and its condi-
ton improved. Under that line of treatment
entire recovery occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
ton Of the nose and other parts of the system
is very intimate, the connection being, of
course, through the nerve system.

A street car conductor said Young
women in Washington indulge in a pc
sort of p%oliteness which is more
calculated to injure the feelings Of others
than any rudeness of a deliberate nature
that they could very well contrive. You
will often see n girl of twenty odd get
up in a street car to give her seat to a
lady, quite n stranger, who is no more
than middle aged. This is intended for
a courtesy, presumably, but it is a very
silly one, because its obvious intention
is to exhibit a Difference to superior age,
Now, no woman likes to ind herself re
garded from that point of view, and the
worst of it is that it is impossible for the
victim of such a performance to show
any resentment. All she can do is to
decline to accept the place vacated,
which is not very much satisfaction.
81 myself have frequently noticed
women who had perceptibly passed their
first youth Offering their seats to others
hardly older than themselves, so thai it
might seem as if this was n novel way of
claiming TO be young ut some one clse's
expense. My observation is that few
people, however old, are otherwise than
mortified by being given seats in this
on the cars, Old gentlemen are
not less sensitive on . the point than old
