Round the neck of the holy virgin Of
Almudena, the patron saint of Madrid,
for whom q fine new church is being
built close to the royal palace, very
beautiful diamond ring hangs on thin
gold chain. The ring belonged to the
late King Alphonso Kill. and strange
history is connected with it, which may
well appeal to the minds of the super
stitious Sraniards. On the day of his
wedding to Mercedes, the daughter of
of the duke Of Montpensicr, the king
gave the ring to his bride, who wore it
till her early death. After the funeral
the king gave the ring to his grand
mother, Queen ~hristine, who died soon
after. Infanta Maria del Pillar, the sis
ter of the King, then became its pos
SCISSOR. She had worn it only q few
days when she died. Then the ring
became the property of the king once
! more, and he gave it to the sister of his
late consort, Princess Christina, the
youngest daughter cf the duke of Mont
pcnsicr. Three months later the young
girl was dead. The king had now be,
como aware Of the unfortunate coinci.
dcnces, and instead Of giving it away
again he hinasclf wore the ring until he
| also went to his early grave.

GROWTH OF THE HAIR.
How 1t Is Affected by Certain Kinds of
Food.

Food.
The influence of diet upon the growth
of hair is the subject of a paper in o re-
cent number of the British Medical
Journal. The writer says: Several
cases of shedding of hair after influenza
have confirnedmy opinion that diet has
much to do with the production and
with the cure of syElptomatic alopeeia.
Hair contains i've per cent. of sulphur,
and its ash twenty per cent OF silicon
and ten per cent. of iron and mangan-
ese Solutions OF beef or rather part
of it, starchy mixtures, and even milk,
which constitute the diet of patients
with influenza and other fevers, cannot
supply these elements, and atrophy at
the root and falling Of hair result. The
color and strength of hair in young
mammals is not attained so long as
milk is their sole food. As to drugs, iron
hasprompt influence. The foods which
most abundantly contain the above
named elements are the various albumi-
noids and the oat, the ash of that grain
| yielding twenty-five per cent. of silicon.
l have often found dietary largely
composed of oatmeal and brown bread

pecially when the badness was preced.

A poor laboring woman at Graudenz
on the vistula in Prussia had won in the
lottery. She placed the gold pieces in a
stocking, wrapped some dirty hand
kerchiefs around and placed it among
her dirty linen in the loft. Nobody
would look for treasure there, SO it was
safe. Some time ago she wanted money
but, oh horror, stocking and gold were
gone. She applied to an old sooth-
sayer, who told her to take piece Of
the money she had left of the sum won,
wrap it in a piece of dirty linen and
bury it in the graveyard. AS the cloth
began decomposing the thief would be
seized with decline and die with qualms
of conscience, forcing him, or her, to re-
turn the money to the rightful owner.
They took care to make the advice
known in the city and that it had been
acted ON. The very next day the stock
ing, with all the money in it, was
found again among the dirty linen. The
thief had evidently been seized with
fear at the terrible sentence pronounced
over him, and had hastcned to return il
in order to escape punishment.

A NIlscllievous Elrd,

There is parrot in St. Louis, which
exclaims, whenever q man enters the
room: You're drunk, sir, and had bet
ter go away. don't want to see you
till you're over it." People wonder how
the bird catches on, but the explanation
is simple; it doesn't know how to say
anything else, and of course in making
the remark to every man it frequently
gets near home. One gentleman who
called thought it was the lady Of the
house speaking, and rushed out OF the
parlor. She sat down to write note Of
explanation to him, when to her amaze.
ment servant brought her note from
the gentleman she was writing to, in
which he stated that he acknowledged
with humility that he had perhaps
taken too much wine with his dinner
but had hoped on calling on her that
she would not have detected it. AS she
had done SO, however, he offered hi
most abject apologies and prayer 70,
forgiveness.

BETTER THAN A CAT.
A Pet Snake That Occupies Favored
Place In q Farmers Household.

Pet Snake That Occupies Favored
Place In n Farmers Household.
A Niagara county farmer tells of
snake which has been gliding about his
premises for the past ten years. The
three inches in thickness at the abdomen
and has an open and engaging counte-
nance. His snalseship was first brought
to the farmers notice in 1881 by the sus-
picious actions. of his son and heir. The
boy one day attempted to kill the FAM
lily cat, which had long been his favorite
pet and developed o marked aversion to
the dog. The family was at loss to
explain his peculiar actions until one
day it was discovered that the lad was
keeping snake in his bedroom. He
fed the reptile on milk stolen from the
pantry, and took the strange pet to bed
with him nights. The parents at
first were greatly Mortified and wanted
to kill the snake, but the boy protested
and at last his wishes were regarded.
It was found that the animal was HARM
less, and at last the family came to
| look upon the reptile with considerable
favor. He keeps the premises free from
l
rodents and saves the expense Of feed
ing cats and dogs.
During the FIRST five years Of his resi-
dence with the family, says the Buffalo
Enquirer, the snake retired to the cell
lar in the autumn and passed the win
ter in state of torpor. But since the
winter Of 1886 he has given up this habit
and is now as lively as cricket even
during the coolest weather. The snake
takes his meals at the same time as the
family. He is regularly provided for.
If by any chance he is forgotten he
makes his disapproval known in q PEI
culiar Kissing. The snake displays a
great love of music, and twists around
the leg of the piano whenever anyone
plays. He also chooses the same leg,
which is worn considerably by reason
of his peculiar writings whenever Q
lively tune is played.
The farmer says that he would not
part with the snake for any money
and his son, although now young
man, still regards the reptile as mos
desirable pet.

AN IDOL OF MouNo.DulLDERs.
The Modest Clay Deity OF tho Early Amer
iean Ieathen.

The Modest Clay Deity Of tho Early Amer
lean Eeathen.
The State Historical society was en-
riched recently by an image of pottery
supposed to be an idol CT some prehis-
toric race, probably the und-buildcrs,
says the Topeka Capital. The idol was
found near Aron, Independence county,
Ark, and was dug from o mound by
rclic-hunters along with number of
decaycd human bones, copper arrow
heads and broken domestic utensils. 1t
is the property of G. w. Hume, of
Strasburg, Mo. The idol is five inches
in diameter. 1t is rudely constructed,
having evidently been formed by hand,
or at best very crude tools, from COM
mon clay and afterward hardened by
being dried in the sun.
The idol represents q human figure in
llneeling posture, the arms extending
at the side. The features are rudely
formed, yet, Notwithstanding this, are
not altogether repulsivc, the nose being
gracefully aquiline and the lips well
formed. The ears are missing, but the
-emnants show that they were adorned
WIN l1C DOIlJ
and might be said to resemble toad.
At the top Of the head there is hole
which seems to have purpose, prob
ably that of fastening head dress to
the figure. The image would hardly be
cataloguel with the works of art, but
it is, nevertheless, an interesting relic.
Tho race whose deity was represented
by this clumsy bit of clay inhabited the
Mississippi valley from the great lakes
to the gulf at time to whi h the ira

True, many mounds, excavations ane
burying grounds of this lost people have
been discovered, but so far they have
given but little of their history. Thai
they lived and died before the race O.
American Indians existed is proven by
the fact that the traditions of the lattel
race contain no references to this los
people although their mounds ant

An Incident at the Breeders Meeting.


Horse trots are associated in most peo-
pies minds--and not altogether unjustly-
with a crowd of betting and splitting men
addicted to hard liquors, big cigars and bad
language. But this notion does not hold
true of the New England Trotting Horse
Breeeers' Association, whose annual meet
ing for lS92 closed on Friday at Mystic
Park. At the races held by this
society there is a distinct and wholesome
flavor of the hucolic and even of the donies-
tie. Horserscers from the hills of Yer
mont and from the back towns of Maine
and New Hampshire come down TO Boston
on these occasions, and in many instances
thev bring their wives with them.
An incident which illustrates the homely
character of the gathering 1T Mystic Park
this week occurred on Thursday. There
was moment of silence. hush in the
grand stand, which was packed with people,
some great equine event impending. when
suddenly u tall, stout man. wearing a
siouch hat arose in the view of 1000 peo-
ple and cried in loul voice to a
| friend who sat dozen rows be-
hind him Charley John. here, and he g
| brought his wife" The effect was electrical.
| At least fifty Charleys responded. and a
large company of Johns, who had come
| and who had brought their wives, blushed
| their assent to the statement. That John

should attend these races together is good
