The Romance of a Ring owned by Span
ish Mobiles.
One of the strangest jewels which
figure around the neck OF the statue Of
our lady of Almudena at Madrid is d
ring which bears a curious connection
with the misfortunes which have so con-
tinually afflicted the royal house OF
Spain during the last two decades.
It is magnificent opal surrounded
bv great diamonds. The late King al
fonso XII. gave it to his cousin Mer~
cedes when he was betrothed to her,
and she wore it during the whole of her
short m arried life. On her death the
young king presented it to his grand
mother, Queen Christina, who died
shortly afterward Then it passed to
the kings sister, the Infanta del Pillar.
No sooner had the latter entered into
possession OF this fateful gem than she
began to sicken, and a few days later
she died Alfonzo sent the ring to his
sister-in-law Christina, the youngest
daughter of the Due de Montpensier,
but in three months she also breathed
her last. His majesty, struck by this
horrible succession of events, now re-
solved to retain the jewel in his own
keeping, but he, too, only too soon fell
a victim to it's mysterious malignancy.
BY order Of the present queen 1t has
now been suspended by chain around

DINNER HOUR IN GERMANY.
Late Dinner Would Necessitate the In
vention of New Word.

a Late Dinner Would Necessitate the In
vention of a New Word.
In some respects social life in Ger
many at the present day affords a fair
ly accurate picture of social life in Eng
land nearly century ago. The dinner
hour is a case in point, says writer I'm
Cornhill Magazine. No highly civilized
nation dimes heavily in the middle of
the day, and then curls itself up to sleep
for the best part of the afternoon. The
Germans, however, cling to their 'sMit-
sagessen," and it would, perhaps, be
awkward to alter the time Of the meal,
since that would necessitate the inven-
ton of a new word for dinner" In
more aristocratic German circles the
dinner-hour varies from three to five, a
custom that reminds one of the alb
normally long evenings and endless
''round games" enjoyed by Jane Aus
tens heroines. Worst Of all, however,
are the formal entertainments in Ger
many, such as the ''Tafel,'' given, for
tnnately, only on grand occasions, such
as a silver wedding, christening or
birthday. Dinner usually begins a5
three or four o'clock, and continues
with slight Interruptions Of singing,
acting and speechmaking, until twelve
o'clock the next morning. Our Eng
Eish dinner parties, even at the worst
and dreariest early Victorian era, could
never have attained such dimensions: IL
only from the fact that neither English
tongues nor English stomachs can stand
the same amount of wear and tear as
their German equivalents.

The Nobility of Hawaii.

Many people remember the pretty
Princess v. Kaiulani Claghorn, who
passed through America about a year
ago on her way to school in England.
Her relative, her gracious majesty the
Hawaiian queen, recently became a
widow. The queens name is Liliuoka-
lani, which means Lilyof-the-Sky. But
unless you have very glib tongue you
will prefer to call her by the latter
name instead of the former. IF you
have a fancy for trying to pronounce
long words you may speak Of the queen
as Lil-liee-woke-a-lanny. The queen
has been known until recently as Mrs.
Dominus, the wife of certain Mr..
Dominus, who was an American by
birth. She is also the Princess Lydia.
Her successor, the Princess Claghorn, is
extremely pretty, with quiet ways and
graceful manners which seem far re-
moved from the suggestion Of heathen-
ism.

A Smiling Little Villain Who Made q
Good Man Swear.

A Smiling Little Villain Who Made q
Good Man Swear.
A story was recently told to me by a
LADY who had just returned from camp
ing in the Yosemite valley, says a
writer in Garden and Forest. A friendly
guide, when asked about the ferns OF
the region, answered that he would
have to know her long time before he
would be willing to tell her about the
kinds in the valley, and continued;
81 know you don't mean any harm,
but there was q young woman here
from the Bay--;a great botanist-and l
told her of a. fern that only grew in
two places, SO far dis I knew, in the
whole region. Then she was wild to
see it. t told her she might have some
leaves to press In her brown paper
books, but warmed her not to pull up
any. Don't you s'pose I know better
than to spoil your fern gar(len?' replied
the college girl. So showed her where
the str1ff grew--one place, where the
most Of it was, under some dry brush l
had put there--and made her promise
again not to tell anyone. and not to pull
it up. said to her: Il guess there aim t
but two cl11mps Of it in the Yosemite,
and my idea is it ought to stay here. 1t
would b. a kind of murder to drive it
OUT Then she looked real pretty and
said she entirely agreed with me. 1t
might be new species, she remarked,
and it might be named after me it /
would let it be taken away, but then I
was exactly right, and it belonged right
here.
ssTwo or three weeks after that her
camp broke up, and she went up the
valley and dug up every root Of the fern
chat she could find. Fact, I saw her do
ing it. When went down to camp to
tell them good-by, that cussed little
hypocrite sided up and begged me to
take good care Of the ferns-spAcially
of that new kind! No, mum, Ill show
you everything in the line of plants,

a SAMsONIAN BEETLE.


Mr.. Gosse in his World Of Wonders re-
lates the following anecdotes: s'The
three-horned beetle has just astonished
me by proof of it's wonderful strength
of body. When it was first brought to
me, having no box Immediately at hand,
I was at a loss where to put it until I
could find time to kill and preserve it.
At last happy thought suggested it
self. There was quart bottle OF milk
sitting on the table, the bottle having q
hollow in the bottom large enough to
allow my prize to stand erect in it; I
clapped him under it for the time being.
Presently, to my surprise, the bottle be-
gan to move slowly and then to glide
softly along over the smooth table,
propelled by the muscular power OF the
imprisoned insect underneath.
'The weight of the bottle and it's
contents could not have been less than
three and q half pounds, while that of
the beetle was scarcely half-ounce;
SO we were watching the strange sight
of living creature moving one hundred
and twelve times it's own weight under
the most Instantaneous circum-
stances. A better notion than figures
can convey will be obtained of this feat
by supposing lad Of fifteen to be inn
prisoned under the great bell Of st.
Paul's cathedral, London, which weighs
twelve thousand pounds. If the lad
could push within and cause the bell to
glide over a smooth pavement his
strength would not be as great accord
ing to his weight as that of the insect
under the milk BOTTLE"

TIE ICE FLY OF KENMORE.
A Singular Phenomenon Recently witt
messed in England.

4 Singular Phenomenon Recently Wit
messed in England.
In a recent article in the Pail Mall
Gazette writer hints that the flies,
which are mentioned by old writers as
having been plentiful on Kenmore dur
ing the most rigorous part of the win
ter preceding the advent Of the plague
in London, have again appeared in the
bound heights Of the old noun
tain. He says: Sin company with a
friend, made the ascent of Kenmore
from Crianlarich. We found the cone
well filed with snow, which got deeper
and frmer as we assembled, and when
we reached within, say, five or six hun
dred feet Of the top, we came upon a
solitary fly, quite dead, but which had
evidently been very recently in the full
enjoyment Of life and health. A few
feet farther on we found five or six
more, some alive and some dead, but
higher still, and within q very short
distance of the top, we were surprised
to find hundreds and thousands of them,
all alive and apparently enjoying them
selves. At this elevation the ground
was deeply covered with snow, and all
the rocks thiokly crusted with ice. y
We noticed it was particularly where
the ice was the thickest that the insects
were most numerous. On the south
side of the mountain, where we de-
scended, we saw none of our little
friends. I am not a naturalist, and
Kenmore may be the ordinary winter
resort Of the fly, but it appears curious
that an insect which is usually asso-
ciated with the ideas of warmth should
be found in such numbers in winter at
an elevation of three thousand eight
hundred feet above sea level"
