Miss Ethel Arnold lives with . girl

success in her journalistic career.

watching the work one of the men
asked her Majesty for single hair
from her head. The Queen granted his
request, with smile. The man, who
was engaged in cutting the eyes in the

it, drew fine silk thread through the
hole and then presented il to the
astonished Queen.
The efforts of the Duke of Orleans
TO enter the Russian army were rem
dered futile by the prejudice of the Czar
against his family. The men who tried
to secure admission for the Duke to the
officers corps Of Colossus were told that
the Russian army could not be made a
refuge for French royalty out of en-
ployment- Prince Louis, the younger
son of Prince Napoleon, was conducting
no political agitation, and therefore, it
was explained, his presence in tie army
had no significance as to the Russo
French relations.

The Difference in Opals.

The varieties of opal are distinguished
according to their color and other phys
ical properties. Precious or noble opal,
like the Washington, is generally white
or colorless and exhibits rich play of
colors-green, red, blue and yellow, of
various shades. When large and exhibit
ing its iridescence in perfection, it a
very valuable gem. Fir" opal is a
transparent opal colored hyacinth red
to honey and wine yellow by fcrric
oxide; occurs at Zimapan, in Mexico
The common opal is of various colors
but without iridescence. The forma-
ton of opals is due to the solubility of
umorphous salica in water, especially
in hot water. containing carbonic acid,
the salica being dissolved out by spring
waters from decomposed silicates and
deposited under favorable circum-
stances in state more or less approach
ing to purity.--Mining and Scientific

It's Utility and tho High Rate of Speed to
| Which 1t Attains.
The honing pigeon is the one kind of
his race that has distinctly utilitarian
existence. During the Franco Prussian
war they were the only means of com
munication Paris had with the outside
world when all the ingenuity of man
had failed. Since that period the
French and German war departments
have established extensive Government
lofts for the breeding and training of
these truly remarkable birds. a prop
osition has also recently been made to
supply our outgoing European steam
ers with trained homing pigeons, to be
used at 4 distance of not exceeding 500
to 500 miles from New York; so, should
any thing happen within this distance,
almost instantaneous word could be
brought to land; SO far however, tho
matter has not taken definite shape. In
build the "homer" somewhat semblcs
the English carrier, but has not such
heavy wattles, and much smaller and
more curved bill; he is not so long in
the body, and is much broader across
the back. The eye is particularly large
and brilliant, and the bird has an
alcrtness of manner and intelii-
gence of look that is wanting
in other varieties. In color they are
light blue, with two heavy black bars
across each wing, the throat and breast
being of an iridcscent blue and green
mixed. There is also the black. blue
checker, red-chcckcr, red, silver and
white. The interest in these birds in
this country is very great, aud the an
nual races excite much attention, val.

WOman'S Hero.

No woman will love man better for
being renowned or prominent. Though
he be the first among men, she will be
prouder, not fonder: as is often the case,
she will not even be proud. But give
her love, appreciation, kindness, and
there is no sacrifice she will not make
for his content and comfort. The man
who loves her well is her hero and king
no less n hero to her though his only
kingdom is her heart and home. In
nine cases out of ten it is a mans own
fault if he is unhappy with his wife 1t
is very exceptional woman who will
not be all she can to an attentive hus-
band, and n very exceptiopable one if
she will be very disagreeable if she
finds herself neglected. Detroit Free

headway. At last the two friends de.

her father at once suggested that they
settle the question by racing their trains
for the next three days, the one getting
to the switch twice ahead of the other to
be the winner. The proposition was
eagerly grasped BY the conductors and
acceded to by Sallic. All agreed upon

necrs.
Anxiously the father and daughter
awaited the coming of the trains the
next afternoon. Fully twenty minutes
before schedule time the familiar
whistle rang out, and Billy's engine
came to q standstiI just as Jacks train
came around the bend. Billy was ex-
ultantly happy. The next day. however.
Jack was sitting upon the porch talking
serenely to the prize when Billy's en-
gine came into view.
The following day would decide IL.
and the morrow found four eager hearts
wondering what the result would be.
About ten O'Clock, however. steady
rain set in, which apparently settled
the question of fast time being mad .
that day. AS Billy passed down the
line and saw the soaking woodpiles he
felt exceedingly blue, but while ponder

and his countenance cleared in an in
stant. When he got to the end of the
run he took the engineer aside and ex-
planned something. which caused a
broad grin to oversprcad the features
of that worthy. Billy was next seen in
a provision store, and ere the train de-
parted an odd-looking barrel marked
''Sugar Cured" was put aboard the en-
gine. His train made glorious time that
afternoon, and when the passengers
asked how the engineer managed TO
keep up steam Billy smiled, but said
nothing. He felt no forebodings Of de-
feat now. Poor old Jack must be Il
dozen miles down the road, and right
around the curve was Yocum's. "IIur-
rah," Billy said to himself "uur-"
he did not finish. From the car plat
form he saw something that made him
rub his eyes in astonishmcnt. Was it
jacks train lying there SO quietly on
the siding, or had his senses deserted
him? A wild screech of triumph from
the waiting engine made him realize it
was indeed true. His rival had won the
third heat.
Jack, taking warning from his de-
feat the first day. had wisely bargaincd
with the wood-station man for a spc-
cial supply of dry pine-knots, and these
were supplemented on the rainy day
with a barrel of pine tar.
Billy danced at the wedding. but the
sight of ham has filed him with dis
